Chapter 1306: The Sacred Sword in the Young Man’s Hand
Lin Yuan was interested in developing the resources in these 10,000 leagues of sea.
He walked over to An He, whose brow was stubbornly furrowed, and said, “I haven’t met Long Lamplight before. But since he’s also a member of royalty like my Master, they are equally important to the Radiance Federation. The sea clans are made up of feys and are used to seeing things from a fey’s perspective. However, we are human. I’m not the only one who feels this way. Zong Ze and Gu Lang do too.”
The obstinance in An He’s brow made Lin Yuan guess that this was the reason for the rift between An He and Zong Ze and Gu Lang.
If An He did not already hold such views, he would not have been so triggered by Silver Umber Black’s words.
Lin Yuan’s words gave An He pause.
An He pursed his lips and looked deeply into Lin Yuan’s eyes. When he saw the genuine sincerity in Lin Yuan’s eyes, there was an instant that he felt as though he could see an extremely pure soul through them.
However, losing himself in Lin Yuan’s eyes only made An He press his lips even harder together, and he felt his ears grow hot.
He hurriedly changed the subject by producing a ball of rainbow light and saying to Lin Yuan, “I would still like to have that fight with you. If you win, I shall give you this uncontracted sacred source lifeform.”
Lin Yuan looked at the ball of rainbow light in An He’s hand and asked, “What about me?”
An He pointed at the purple cocoon next to him and said, “My Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon needs this whale fall to evolve from Fantasy IV to Fantasy V. If I win, I hope you’ll allow me to use the whale fall to evolve the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon. It will require less than 10% of the whale fall’s resources to evolve it.”
…
Lin Yuan shook his head and produced another ball of rainbow light as he said, “I also have use for the whale fall. Hence, I cannot allow you to use its resources. I won’t take advantage of you, so I’ll also stake an uncontracted sacred source lifeform.”
Liu Jie, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, and the Mother of Bloodbath did not find anything unusual about the betting stake as Lin Yuan often gave out sacred source lifeforms for people in the mansion for them to contract.
The elderly man behind An He also did not think much of it. However, Zhang Cheng and Sun Jiang were not that composed.
This was a sacred source lifeform!
Sacred source lifeforms were the stuff of Zhang Cheng and Sun Jiang’s dreams. Neither of them had contracted a sacred source lifeform and wanted a sacred source lifeform of their own badly.
However, the being present that wanted the sacred source lifeform the most was not Zhang Cheng or Sun Jiang, but Silver Umber Black.
Silver Umber Black was an abandoned member of the First Emperor Cutlass Clan who had been given a barren piece of the sea. Hence, despite having gained Immortal power, Silver Umber Black had also yet to contract a sacred source lifeform.
Silver Umber Black was willing to come to this territory because it wanted to see if a Class 5 water world dimensional rift would open here.
Since Silver Umber Black had reached Immortal level, it could easily obtain sacred source lifeforms from a Class 5 water world dimensional rift.
Unfortunately, Class 5 water world dimensional rifts were too rare, and Silver Umber Black had never encountered one.
Meanwhile, the despicable Shark Awn from the First Emperor Shark Clan had recently encountered a Class 5 water world dimensional rift in its territory. Silver Umber Black was practically green with envy over this.
Silver Umber Black had thought about going over to Shark Awn’s territory to steal the sacred source lifeform from within the Class 5 water world dimensional rift. However, Silver Umber Black knew that it would not be able to defeat Shark Awn.
If Shark Awn came to Silver Umber Black’s territory, it would have to turn a blind eye to it. After all, Shark Awn had reached Sovereign IX/Immortal VIII. Moreover, Shark Awn had a sacred source lifeform.

Recently, a twinge of danger had been tugging at Silver Umber Black. It instinctively felt that it was linked to Shark Awn.
Now, the sacred source lifeform that it was dying to obtain was being used as a betting chip. This made sacred source lifeforms seem less valuable than they actually were.
An He nodded silently as he agreed with what Lin Yuan said.
He felt extremely downtrodden. The whale fall produced the purest water elements. It produced even purer water elements than the Defined Life pearls. It was about as pure as the water elements of Over the Rail Coral pearls.
There were almost no Over the Rail Coral pearls available on the market.
It seemed that An He would need another whale fall or ask his Master to ask the Bamboo Monarch or Chef Supreme for a favor in order to evolve the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon.
An He did not want to trouble his Master. Thus, he decided to use his own ability to gather water-type Over the Rail Coral pearls or search for another large whale fall.
“It’s not fair for us to fight now. My Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon has entered its cocoon state for a long time and will break out anytime. I shall give you time to prepare before we begin the fight.”
Lin Yuan gently shook his head and replied, “I don’t need to prepare. Let’s start now.”
Lin Yuan did not investigate An He like he did with Zong Ze when they fought during the Martial component of the Martial Arts Stage.
The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s silhouette immediately appeared behind him.
He had checked on Zong Ze because he was unaware of what feys Zong Ze possessed.
But now that An He had summoned all his feys, there was no need for Lin Yuan to look into him.
Both the Country Governor Kui and the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon had outstanding combat and survival abilities.
The best option for Lin Yuan would be to use all his power right from the outset to knock the wind out of An He.
When An He heard Lin Yuan say that they should start the battle now, he thought Lin Yuan was looking down on him. But when he saw Lin Yuan activate his sacred source lifeform without hesitation, he knew that this assumption was wrong. If Lin Yuan truly underestimated An He, he would not have summoned his sacred source lifeform.
An He immediately went into battle mode.
However, he did not want to take advantage of Lin Yuan and decided that he would not use his sacred source lifeform during the fight.
At that moment, An He saw the woman’s silhouette behind Lin Yuan shift. The woman pressed her hands together and gently hugged Lin Yuan.
Once the woman’s arms closed around Lin Yuan, the silhouette transformed into a magnificent sword.
The image of a woman was carved onto the sword’s scabbard. Even the scabbard struggled to hide the gleaming razor-sharp sword in the Sacred Sword Form.
Lin Yuan had already drawn the sword and sent numerous black crows flying out from it.
