1996 Begin to Absorb! As Lin Yuan continued to fly, he could clearly sense the moisture in the air rising. It had the clean scent of nature. From his eagle eye view in the sky, he saw many raging rivers skin to snakes and dragons. A spirit spring spewed out Grasswood Fountain Water on Leaning Moon Mountain, nourishing all of the lifeforms living on the mountain. The flora and fauna on Leaning Moon Mountain had not been transplanted but grew there naturally. The Moon Empress did not interfere much with the growth of the plants. However, it was clear that the main spirit spring below had been manually widened. Otherwise, it was impossible for there to be such wide rivers of spirit springs. It was no small feat to expand rivers of spirit springs. Apparently, the lifeform had not been idle in the time that the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was closed! Lin Yuan landed beside one of the rivers of spirit springs. As he watched the raging waters, he took out the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp and communicated to Morbius through his spirit, “Morbius, I will be throwing the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp into this spirit spring soon. Once it has sucked up all bloodline power in this spirit spring, help me to sense the angle from which the bloodline power is flowing. Then, we’ll be able to ascertain the location of the lifeform.” After all, the lifeform had been hidden for at least 100 years before the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was first opened. Lin Yuan could not be sure if his consumption of the bloodline power would cause the lifeform to choose to come out from hiding after almost 100 years of holing itself up. After Morbius heard what Lin Yuan said, it said, “Partner, from my investigation, I can confirm that the lifeform is not a plant. There indeed is bloodline power flowing through the spirit springs, but it is not just effective on plants. “Did you notice that the plants and moats we saw on the way here are covered with traces of being man-made? There were no signs of animals at all. My guess is that all of the animals in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm have already been cleared out. Compared to plants, animals have much greater movement. The lifeform won’t be able to fully control the animals it affects with its bloodline. I’m also curious now to know what this lifeform is!” Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard what Morbius said. He had been guessing that the lifeform in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was a plant that had been using its bloodline to contaminate other plant-type feys to pass on its bloodline to them. Then, it traded the plants it had contaminated with its bloodline to the factions in the Divine Wood Federation in exchange for Creation Master resources to boost itself. But now, it seemed that this was not the case. There was no way that Morbius’ sensing could be wrong. But if this lifeform was not a plant, what could it be? Lin Yuan did not make any more guesses before he tossed the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp into the spirit spring so it would bring the answer to him. After the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp absorbed the bloodline of one type of fey, its body would change according to the type of bloodline power it had just absorbed. As a result of this, the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carps that were seen in the wild were of all strange shapes and sizes. After all, there was no way that the body that was the amalgamation of many feys would look good. The thought of a fish with crab legs and part of the body of a shrimp was disturbing. The more types of bloodline power it absorbed, the more warped its body would become. With so much bloodline power in the spirit springs for the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp to absorb, it should look like the lifeform once it was done absorbing all of the bloodline power. When the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp entered the spirit spring, Lin Yuan fixed his eye on it. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp was only Normal I/Normal, but it was not slow at absorbing bloodline power at all. Otherwise, it would not be deemed a carcinoma fey despite not technically being one. Morbius had shared the ability to sense bloodline power with Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan suddenly realized that as the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp opened its mouth and flapped its fins, the bloodline power started flowing into its body at a breakneck pace. He sighed to himself. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp is way too strong! The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp did not just affect one of the spirit springs, but the bloodline power from the other spirit springs also started to gather toward the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp. It could affect an area of more than four square kilometers. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp was only Normal I/Normal. Spirit springs were still springs and could not be overly expanded. Each was only around 15 meters wide. The area of four square kilometers covered seven of the rivers. The bloodline power from seven spirit springs gathered at the spirit spring in front of Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan noticed that the clear water now looked rather crystalline. The crystalline glow was dappled with pink and gold, painting a beautiful sight. Since the bloodline power in the spirit spring had become more concentrated, the bloodline power started to permeate the air around the spirit spring. The bloodline power was deep and complex, filled with gentle generosity. A fey’s personality could be altered by different bloodline power. The specialty of bloodline power was that it was related to the aura of the fey. By sensing the bloodline power, Lin Yuan could be certain that this lifeform was not hostile. As the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp continuously absorbed the bloodline power, its body started to change. The first change was to the color of its body. It started off as black, but now, it had slowly taken on a golden sheen. Soon, the golden sheen changed the Bloodline-Cutting Black carp’s scales to crystalline. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s body started to take on the appearance of a jewel. Eventually, all of the black retreated, leaving the fish’s body pink. Every crystalline fish scale had pink patterns on it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 But this was just the beginning. Once the color of the scales and fins changed, the next to change was the shape of the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s body. The Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp started off as rotund. It looked similar to the fish kept as pets instead of being eaten. But now, the Bloodline-Cutting Black Carp’s body slowly elongated and resembled more and more like a jewel. ...
