2380 The Spirit Mother’s Nine Tests! If Lin Yuan had not already taken control of those Samsara Realm and Turning Wheel Realm Dictators, Wen Yu’s idea would have met with significant opposition. But all of these Dictators knew that Wen Yu was one of Lin Yuan’s people. If they did not listen to her, they would be making an enemy out of Lin Yuan. Thus, Vine Source, Evil Source, and the rest could only gnash their teeth and act according to their rank. But once the plan was fully implemented, it did not take long for Vine Source, Hornless Dragon Source, Evil Source, and the other Samsara Realm Dictators who had never encountered such military-style before to notice its benefits. This caused them to look at Wen Yu differently. These Samsara Realm Dictators only saw Wen Yu as one of the accessories that hung off Lin Yuan. She was so weak that one small squeeze would kill her. But this weak female lifeform ended up changing the structure of the marsh world. Vine Source, Evil Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and the other Samsara Realm Dictators all felt the joy of being managed and directed. Vine Source and the rest were already very strong in the past and had a team of followers by their side. But most of the Dictators and Apostles in the marsh world dared not get close to them, and they stayed far away. After dimensional lifeforms became Dictators, they would never choose to become loyal to a stronger Dictator unless they had needs. This was different from Apostles, who all hoped to become loyal to Dictators in order to find a source of support. The Apostles preferred Turning Wheel Realm and regular Dictators over Samsara Realm Dictators as there was a greater risk of becoming canon fodder by being around Samsara Realm Dictators. It took a month for Wen Yu to organize the marsh world. She also instructed Mountain Ridge Source to pour a large amount of wastewater from the marsh world into the marsh dimensional rift. At first, the Freedom Federation thought that the marsh world’s silence was because they were preparing something big. But as time dragged on, they inevitably started to slacken. Wen Yu intended to make the people from the Freedom Federation antsy again so they would not cause trouble during the Azure Federation’s time of crisis. Hence, Wen Yu had remained by the dimensional rift. Before informing Lin Yuan, Wen Yu had already arrived at Klein Hub’s entrance. Once she met Lin Yuan, they both went into a nearby structure where they chose a room and began the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting. From the moment they met, Wen Yu started to give Lin Yuan a detailed explanation of the situation. “Young Master, the last of the Spirit Mother’s Nine Tests has been set. Bu Po and his opponent, Ling Mo, will have to choose one fey to form a contract with and will nurture their contracted fey over the next month before they battle with each other. “Normally, the winner of the nine tests will become the sole reserve disciple and receive personal guidance from the Spirit Mother, while the loser will become the leader of the Sky Mothers. But for some reason, the Spirit Mother decided that this round of the nine tests would be a fight to the death. The loser will be eliminated. “Bu Po has not even picked his fey yet, but Ling Mo has already evolved a tiger-species fey to Gold/Legend. If we don’t step in to help Bu Po now, he’s going to lose. But I’m also afraid that he won’t win even if we help him.” Being in the Spirit Mother Federation, Bu Po was almost a world away from Lin Yuan and Wen Yu. The help they could offer from so far away was limited. There was no way that Wen Yu and Lin Yuan would be able to help Bu Po as much as Ling Mo’s two families could help him. Moreover, Wen Yu was very afraid for Bu Po’s safety. At first, Lin Yuan was extremely worried about Bu Po as well. But his thinking quickly changed. The Spirit Mother’s nine tests were a big issue. The Spirit Mother would definitely be serious about choosing a successor. Not even the most outstanding Creation Master could be confident that they would be able to break through pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master to become a Class 5 Creation Master. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 The Spirit Mother’s successors had always been Class 5 Creation Masters. This meant that the Spirit Mother had a way of passing down Class 5 Creation Master abilities. The previous one would vanish after each new Spirit Mother succeeded in the position. Thus, sacrifice had to be part of the equation in some way. The Spirit Mother had suddenly changed the rules of the Spirit Mother’s nine tests, so the two prospective successors now had to battle to the death. Rather than saying that this would make Bu Po and Ling Mo take the tests seriously and increase their sense of urgency, it was a targeted effort to blot someone out. It was either because the Spirit Mother had learned about Bu Po having the support of the Astronomical Parliament, or he did not want to give Ling Mo’s two families the chance to manipulate the Spirit Mother selection. Lin Yuan felt that if the first option was the real reason, the Spirit Mother would already have taken Bu Po away for questioning. Regardless of perspective, the Astronomical Parliament helping Bu Po would be seen as an act of scheming to bring the Spirit Mother Federation down. There was no way that the Spirit Mother would tolerate this. Thus, the second option was more likely. The fact that Bu Po was able to remain competitive in the Spirit Mother selection showed that the reserve disciples were only Class 3 Creation Masters at best. It was possible for a Class 3 Creation Master to concoct spirit fluids to evolve a fey to Gold/Legend. However, this would take six to eight bottles of spirit fluid. It was also vital to evolve the quality of tiger-species feys. Before the evolution of each grade, tiger-species feys needed to be in the best condition so they would have the opportunity to evolve into Fantasy Breed and transform their bloodlines. They also needed to be fed spirit fluids that aided in the transformation of their bloodlines. It would be understandable if Ling Mo had achieved this in two weeks. But given that it had only taken him two to three days, there was no way that Ling Mo had concocted all of the spirit fluids on his own. Ling Mo’s two families had to be involved in his cheating. It was likely that the Spirit Mother wanted to keep a lid on these two Sky Mother families because they were getting so powerful that they were encroaching on his authority. Thus, the Spirit Mother had no choice but to find a suitable reason to take them down a few notches. If that were the case, Lin Yuan would attract too much attention if he tried to help Bu Po, who up till now had only depended on his own talent. Even if he managed to help him defeat Ling Mo, it would be difficult to get past the Spirit Mother. If the Spirit Mother wanted to use Bu Po to eliminate Ling Mo and cut off the two Sky Mother families’ ambitions before putting pressure on them, Bu Po would need to be stronger than Ling Mo. Hence, Bu Po needed to pick a fey to evolve while waiting. It was likely that the Spirit Mother would eventually seek him out to give him a leg up. However, these were just Lin Yuan’s guesses and not facts. He still needed to help Bu Po be as prepared as possible! He would wait until the last day when it would be almost too late for Bu Po to nurture a fey and before the Spirit Mother stepped in.
