Chapter 2936: Restarting the Astronomical Parliament! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Yuan had just nurtured the Star Vastness Peony, and it was still at Sovereign X/immortal IX, a certain distance away from evolving to High Sovereign. If the Star Vastness Peony wanted to increase its strength, it needed to rely on the absorption of moonlight energy. It would probably have to wait for a while before it could evolve to the Divine Kingdom level. However, this did not stop the Star Vastness Peony from using its exclusive skill, Celestial Body Boost, on Wen Yu. When the Star Vastness Peony saw Lin Yuan and Wen Yu, it bowed slightly to them. The Star Vastness Peony and Wen Yu were old acquaintances. Wen Yu’s sacred source lifeform, the Astronomical Parliament, needed to comprehend the constellations. During the period when the Star Vastness Peony absorbed starlight energy at night, Wen Yu stayed by its side. However, unlike with Wen Yu, the Star Vastness Peony was not as warm and friendly toward Liu Jie. Lin Yuan gave an order to the Star Vastness Peony, “Star Vastness Peony, please use Celestial Body Boost on Wen Yu and help her comprehend the constellations through the sacred source lifeform. Remember to do your best to protect Wen Yu during the process and ensure her safety!” The Star Vastness Peony nodded seriously. Then, it transformed into its true form, and the enormous shadow of the peony enveloped Wen Yu. Wen Yu suddenly felt she was much closer to the stars in the sky. Previously, there was a barrier between her and the stars that she could not sense and touch. Now, they seemed much closer, as if the distance between them had diminished. Under the Astronomical Parliament’s communication, the stars began to respond. Excitement illuminated Wen Yu’s face as she felt the connection deepening. Wen Yu knew very well that if she wanted to, she could start the Astronomical Parliament now. She sensed the space that the constellations had built for her, and she was still the absolute owner of the space. Wen Yu was not in a hurry to try opening the Astronomical Parliament. Instead, she opened her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan with joy. It was obvious that she was asking Lin Yuan for his opinion. Lin Yuan nodded at Wen Yu. It was necessary to investigate the actual situation of the Astronomical Parliament before convening it. He definitely did not want a repeat of the mishap where the Astronomical Parliament was convened, only to be abruptly halted minutes later due to Wen Yu’s physical condition. After receiving Lin Yuan’s approval, Wen Yu took out two chairs and placed one beside her as she had done during the Astronomical Parliament meeting. Wen Yu sat on the chair and prepared to begin the ritual that was usually prepared before the Astronomical Parliament. Lin Yuan called out to Wen Yu and handed her the seven or eight pieces of rainbow fish coats, indicating that she should use them up first. Apart from increasing the speed at which Wen Yu recovered her spiritual energy, the rainbow fish coats could also increase the resilience of her spiritual energy to ensure that even in the face of unexpected situations, Wen Yu would be less likely to suffer damaged spiritual energy. Once spiritual energy was injured, it was very difficult to recover. Lin Yuan did not want Wen Yu to be in such a dangerous situation. Lin Yuan had also collected many spiritual-type ingredients that were suitable for Wen Yu. However, these spiritual ingredients had a certain stimulating effect on the mind. It was far from being as gentle as the rainbow fish coats. It was not suitable for use unless it was necessary. Lin Yuan also sat on the chair and waited to enter the familiar Astronomical Parliament. After a while, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu appeared at the same time and sat on the golden chair that no one had sat on for a long time. Among the constellations, Libra and Leo lit up brightly, as if they were welcoming the return of a king. When Wen Yu felt the familiar touch of the golden chair beneath her, tears welled up in her eyes. Wen Yu knew that her strategic importance to Sky City would greatly increase in the future. As one of the three founders of Sky City, she could finally use the constellations to weave a net for Sky City’s bright future. The Astronomical Parliament had evolved to 11 Stars, and Wen Yu had become more proficient in her control over it. Wen Yu possessed the ability to control the candidates to enter the Astronomical Parliament. In this Astronomical Parliament meeting, Wen Yu had only invited Lin Yuan to participate, without extending an invitation to Liu Jie. This Astronomical Parliament meeting was Wen Yu’s first attempt after coming to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. She would be as cautious as possible because she knew that this was the only way to ensure her safety. “Young Master, should I try to lure people into the Astronomical Parliament?” Lin Yuan nodded. Since he wanted to see if Wen Yu’s Astronomical Parliament could successfully convene in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it was necessary to make such an attempt. The consumption of Wen Yu’s energy to lure others into the Astronomical Parliament was much greater than maintaining the Astronomical Parliament itself. There was no shortage of people in the Sky Beyond the Clouds who were willing to use everything they had, including freedom and life, to make a wish. Wen Yu quickly sensed a life form from afar through the Astronomical Parliament. However, before Wen Yu could pull the life form into the Astronomical Parliament, she felt her spirit and soul begin to weaken. She understood that this was due to the depletion of her spiritual energy. Wen Yu quickly ended the Astronomical Parliament meeting. If she forcefully pulled this life form into the Astronomical Parliament, she was certain that she would be bedridden for at least three years and would not be able to recover her damaged spiritual energy in a short period. Even though Wen Yu immediately canceled the Astronomical Parliament, she still collapsed on the chair in reality. She felt as if thousands of needles were stabbing into her brain. Despite the pain she endured spiritually, Wen Yu was exceptionally joyful. With the enhancement of the Star Vastness Peony, she had indeed held the Astronomical Parliament as she wished. Be it her sacred source life form or the Star Vastness Peony, they would continue to enhance, and Wen Yu’s spiritual energy would also continue to enhance. At the very least, she wanted to prove that she had the possibility of holding an Astronomical Parliament in the future. However, she probably wouldn’t have the chance to do so in the short term. Even if the Astronomical Parliament convened now, they wouldn’t be able to do anything in just a minute or two. Wen Yu had to ensure that it could last for more than 15 minutes before she attempted to pull people into the Astronomical Parliament. When Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu’s current state, he immediately took out a gourd-shaped container and handed it to her. “In this gourd-shaped container made of water-blue jade, there are about 150 drops of warm essence sweet marrow. This warm essence sweet marrow is far better than the rainbow fish coats for spiritual recovery.” “When recovering spiritual energy, there is a possibility of some water-element energy attachment, which could be considered a drawback of the warm essence sweet marrow. Fortunately, I can get rid of them with the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia. Using the warm essence sweet marrow to restore spiritual energy can help you avoid constantly falling into such a state!” As he spoke, Lin Yuan opened the gourd-shaped container and poured the warm essence sweet marrow into Wen Yu’s mouth. Wen Yu’s state of spiritual energy depletion was immediately alleviated. Wen Yu was pleasantly surprised by the existence of warm essence sweet marrow. However, she was very well aware that it must be exceptionally expensive. If it was not necessary, she would try not to use them. They were a precious resource that Lin Yuan had obtained from the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. Given Wen Yu’s current situation, if she wanted to reopen the Astronomical Parliament, she would have to wait until her Astronomical Parliament reached 12 Stars. Breaking through the 12 Stars limit and awakening the sacred rune, or enhancing the Star Vastness Peony to the World Emperor/Divine Kingdom level were the only ways to make it possible. Wen Yu’s successful convening of the Astronomical Parliament had a lot to do with the Astronomical Parliament’s Constellation Charge ability. Without Constellation Charge, she might not even be able to last 30 seconds. Be it the Astronomical Parliament or the Star Vastness Peony, it would not be easy to enhance them. Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of the Hundred Questions Beast. The abilities and exclusive skills of the Hundred Questions Beasts varied during their evolution. However, some of them possessed abilities like Spiritual Energy Expansion. If Wen Yu could contract a Hundred Questions Beast with the Spiritual Energy Expansion ability, she would have a higher reserve of spiritual energy, and the increase in her spiritual energy reserve would help her increase the timing of the Astronomical Parliament meeting. With Lin Yuan’s growing the Hundred Questions Beasts, it was not difficult for him to find a Silver-grade Hundred Questions Beast with Spiritual Energy Expansion ability. Lin Yuan decided to find a suitable Hundred Questions Beast for Wen Yu to contract. The Hundred Questions Beast did contain a huge secret, but Lin Yuan did not need to hide it from Wen Yu. It was impossible for Wen Yu to leak this information. Lin Yuan brought Wen Yu into the Spirit Lock spatial zone. This was not the first time Wen Yu had entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone. However, the current situation in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was completely different from when she had entered it previously. Wen Yu was astonished by the development of the Spirit Lock spatial zone. No matter how good the previous Spirit Lock spatial zone was, it was just a space. However, the current Spirit Lock spatial zone looked like a world. Before Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he had already informed Genius to help him choose a Hundred Questions Beast with the Spiritual Energy Expansion ability. Genius was already standing on the work table with a silver-blue Hundred Questions Beast, waiting for Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan’s work table could be said to be the earliest item in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. His work table had never been changed. He brought Wen Yu to the work table and picked up the Hundred Questions Beast beside Genius. “Wen Yu, are you interested in contracting this fey? This is a small Hundred Questions Beast. This Hundred Questions Beast’s skill can help you increase your spiritual energy. It has a very special way of increasing spiritual energy, in which it doesn’t directly increase your spiritual energy, but allows its spiritual energy to superimpose with yours. “You should know that the Hundred Questions Beasts are feys with powerful spiritual energy. When they evolve to the World Emperor/Divine Kingdom level, their spiritual energy will increase by at least 50 times. As long as you contract this Hundred Questions Beast, I will help you nurture it.” Lin Yuan did not force Wen Yu to contract a Hundred Questions Beast. He had always treated her with great respect. As opposed to demanding Wen Yu contract a fey, he was more willing to follow Wen Yu’s choice. Lin Yuan would explain the pros and cons of contracting a Hundred Questions Beast to Wen Yu, and then he would let her make the decision herself. Even if Wen Yu was unwilling to contract the Hundred Questions Beast, it would not be a problem for Lin Yuan. He had merely found a solution to the problem. Wen Yu was aware of the Hundred Questions Beast’s existence and knew that Lin Yuan had a way to evolve it. Actually, she had long wanted to contract a Hundred Questions Beast, but she had never mentioned it to Lin Yuan. Now that Lin Yuan was willing to let her contract the Hundred Questions Beast, Wen Yu was undoubtedly very happy. She was very willing to contract the Hundred Questions Beast. As long as she contracted it, she could start the Astronomical Parliament very quickly. This time, Wen Yu had marked someone who was deeply entrenched in their dreams and possessed strong determination. Even from a distance, Wen Yu’s perception of this individual remained exceptionally strong. The Astronomical Parliament did not manage to pull the individual over this time, but Wen Yu would still be able to find them in the next Astronomical Parliament. Hopefully, when the next Astronomical Parliament meeting was held, the individual would be deep in their slumber. The Illusion Snake was once an exceptionally powerful species in the West Universe. Four epochs ago, they changed the state of the West Universe, which caused the Faerie Institution and other powerful factions in the West Universe to retreat as they were unwilling to directly start a conflict with the Illusion Snake. However, due to their excessive prominence and certain events they experienced, the Illusion Snake gradually declined. The glory of the Illusion Snake had long vanished from the Sky Beyond the Clouds. The Illusion Snake had split into 16 species during those four epochs. Among these 16 species, the weakest was the Purifying Water Illusion Snake. As the saying went: “A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.” Logically speaking, even the weakest species of the Illusion Snake, the Purifying Water Illusion Snake, should have a decent living environment. However, what really made it difficult for the Purifying Water Illusion Snake to survive was the suppression of the Crystal Rock Illusion Snake. During the past one or two epochs, the Crystal Rock Illusion Snake almost treated the Purifying Water Illusion Snake as servants, ordering them to utilize their innate talents to extract precious ores from the rocky cliffs near the sea. If the quality and quantity of these ores did not meet the requirements of the Crystal Rock Illusion Snake, they would rely on the suppression of their bloodline to kill the members of the Purifying Water Illusion Snake. If not for the fact that they wanted the Purifying Water Illusion Snake to continue serving them, the Purifying Water Illusion Snake would have long perished in the hands of the Crystal Rock Illusion Snake. In a cave on a cliff by the sea, a youth from the Purifying Water Illusion Snake suddenly awoke from his slumber..
