Zhang Lingxue's current task became a lot simpler.

All she needed to do now was to wait until the Sword Butterflies reproduced, and once each of them laid more than two Sword Butterfly Eggs, her task would be complete.

By then, it would mark the beginning of their counterattack.

Resurrection Association.

Amid the swirling blue mist, a palace built of ghastly white bones, shrouded by numerous wailing spirits, appeared indistinctly, occupying a corner of the underground cavern.

The palace doors were constructed entirely from pristine white bones, with empty skulls filled with pale blue Soul Flames.

They fixed their hollow, unsettling stares on every black-robed person stepping into the palace.

Upon entering the palace doors, a chilling black wind carried endless wails and anguished cries, reverberating endlessly, with resentment soaring into the sky.

The white lanterns hanging high emitted a ghostly blue glow, casting countless grotesque white bones on the ground.

The palace corridor was so long it seemed to stretch into infinity, with walls on either side plastered with twisted faces of agony, their eyes empty, shedding tears of black blood, mouths opening and closing, as if lamenting their tragic, unfulfilled lives.

The white lanterns occasionally opened their eyes, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

On closer inspection, within the drapery of the white lanterns was a hidden ghastly skull.

A long burning candle was inserted into the skull, emitting an eerie blue light.

This flame seemed to consume souls as fuel, with wails echoing from the fire.

In the center of the palace stood a massive throne of white bone.

Two women dressed in mourning attire stood beside it.

They wore black blindfolds, and their mouths had been sewn shut.

They were dressed in long black gowns, and from the corpse spots on their hands, it was clear they were already dead.

Every corner of the palace was filled with wailing vengeful spirits.

They lingered in the corners or wandered among the pillars, their faces twisted in struggle, their expressions pained, seemingly seeking a path to release.

The air was thick with the scent of decay and death, while ghostly blue Soul Flames drifted in midair.

This was the Wailing Palace where Spirit Saint, one of the three Saints of the Resurrection Association, resided.

A pale-faced young man stepped out from a gilded coffin.

"Slept well, no one disturbed me."

"Sure enough, the world of the undead is the best, no breathing, only sounds of wailing everywhere."

"This is the most beautiful and melodious symphony in the world."

The Spirit Saint walked to the bone throne, and the women dressed in mourning handed the intelligence report to the Spirit Saint.

After reading the report, the Spirit Saint laughed.

"Blood Saint truly had his downfall."

"I deliberately forged an ancient tomb before, placing the Secret Techniques of Soul Rebirth and Soul Division inside."

"And guided Blood Saint to retrieve the technique, this brainless fool truly fell for it."

The Spirit Saint conveyed ninety-nine percent truth and one percent falsehood.

The result was that this one percent greatly reduced the effectiveness.

The practice itself wasn't problematic, but the side effects were numerous.

"As expected, Blood Saint managed to kill himself, and yet his legacy didn't return to the Inheritance Blood Pool, this is truly wonderful."

The Spirit Saint propped his head with one hand, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes.

Blood Saint's legacy was critical for the Trinity plan.

However, Spirit Saint only wished to maintain the current scenario.

He wanted to select a new Blood Saint rather than allow the Trinity plan to progress further.

Spirit Saint inadvertently discovered a secret; all three of them were actually sacrifices meant for the true resurrection of the Resurrection Association's leader.

And the three elders were the overseers.

Whoever obtained the ultimate inheritance would become the leader's vessel for possession.

This was why sixteen years ago, when Blood Saint died, Spirit Saint not only didn't take over Blood Saint's forces, but ordered his own subordinates not to interfere, resulting in a deadly conflict with Saint Able.

Even Blood Saint's Soul Rebirth was completed with his help during the final rebirth.

"Blood Saint is truly a hopeless fool."

"I even hope someone can take away Blood Saint's legacy."

"This way, the Trinity plan cannot continue."

"However, I should muddy the waters even more."

Spirit Saint quickly conceived a new idea and instructed the mourning-dressed female corpse beside him.

Ye Bai was rampaging through the interior of Jianmu alongside the Nether Wolf.

The Wood Beasts commanded by Jianmu had been wiped out by the Nether Wolf wave after wave.

At this moment, Ye Bai's Eye of Insight suddenly reacted, and the patterns on his eyes began to shift.

Two streams of blood tears flowed from Ye Bai's eyes; there seemed to be something here.

"Nether Wolf, we're changing direction, head that way!"

Ye Bai pointed in a direction, speaking to the Nether Wolf.

The Nether Wolf sprinted forward, while Jianmu seemed to rage.

There appeared to be a secret concealed within Jianmu.

Green lights emerged, and the passage in front of them was rapidly shrinking.

The sacred tree seemed intent on trapping Ye Bai alive within the passage.

"Nether Wolf!!"

The Nether Wolf understood Ye Bai's intention.

Its speed increased dramatically.

Flames emerged from its body, burning away the countless roots sprouting in the passage.

Finally, at the very moment the passage disappeared entirely, the Nether Wolf charged out.

At this time, Ye Bai's Eye of Insight stirred.

A ravenous sensation was transmitted from the Eye of Insight.

A golden lake appeared before him, with myriad hair-thin roots draped overhead, as if Earth's pulse was gently beating there.

Golden liquid seeped from the roots like raindrops, dripping into the lake below.

The lake water was crystal clear, shimmering like flecks of gold dancing in the water.

Around this lake, some unusual plants grew, their leaves a verdant green, adorned with dew, glittering like gems.

In the center of the lake bloomed black and white lotuses, their wide leaves floating gently on the surface, with several buds about to bloom.

Ye Bai's gaze was instantly captivated by the golden lake.

He could sense that the lotuses in the lake were what the Eye of Insight truly craved.

"This seems to be the core of the sacred tree."

Ye Bai did not feel an ounce of danger here; instead, he felt a sense of peace and serenity.

The Sunflower Emperor was the first to plunge into the lake.

It was greedily absorbing the golden liquid.

"Let go of me, I want some too."

The Mandala Grass Emperor seemed to have recognized what those things were.

"Let go of me, that's Life Source Liquid, the origin of Wood Beasts. If I could devour this origin, I could evolve into a Tier Five Pet Beast."

The Mandala Grass Emperor struggled frantically, trying to throw itself into the lake.

It also harbored a hidden agenda, aiming to advance to a Tier Five Exotic Beast first and escape the Sunflower Emperor's servitude.

"Mandala Grass Emperor, what treasure is that, and what are its effects? Answer me, and I'll let you in."

Ye Bai pointed at the black and white lotuses, speaking to the Mandala Grass Emperor.

"That is the Tai Chi Yin Yang Lotus, also called the Three Thousand Lilies, a Tier Seven Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure requiring harsh growth conditions."

"It needs a thousand years to grow, a thousand years to bloom, and a thousand years to fruit."

"Its lotus seeds are the real treasures."

"The Tai Chi Yin Yang Lotus grows only in absolutely safe environments and usually resides in remote places. Ye Bai, you may pick them as you wish; there's no danger here."

The Mandala Grass Emperor quickly spilled the beans, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Ye Bai nodded and allowed the Mandala Grass Emperor to enter the lake.

"Space Pelican, let's fly over there."

The Space Pelican gently flapped its wings, gliding over the lake surface, creating rippling waves below.

The closer they got to the black and white lotuses, the stronger the Eye of Insight's reaction grew, as if it might burst from its socket.

At the same time, the Mandala Grass Emperor dove into the lake, curling itself, with every cell joyfully devouring.

"Once I evolve successfully, I will shed my old body and become Treasure Medicine."

"Then, even a drop of my blood will have the power to resurrect the dead and heal bones."

"I will be free to roam as fish or soar as birds."

The Sunflower Emperor was gulping down Life Source Liquid.

It had already touched the threshold of advancement.

The Sunflower Emperor was concentrating all its life force into forming a golden seed.

The seed quickly sprouted and began to grow.

The Sunflower Emperor transformed into a giant sunflower, with a golden sapling emerging on its flower disc.

The sunflower used itself as a medium, devouring Life Source Liquid to strengthen itself.

The golden sapling rapidly grew, producing golden leaves, forming a golden sunflower.

A trace of divine light emerged from the petals, morphing into a gold-glinting elf in midair.

The elf had golden hair and blue eyes, with two pairs of transparent wings, and eyes full of vitality.

The elf glanced at its reflection in the lake and was startled by its current form.

Nonetheless, it found itself rather enchanting.

However, this form didn't last long and soon dissolved into light, returning to the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor blinked, feeling like it had awoken from a dream.

The life aura inherent in the sacred tree's Life Source Liquid had significantly breakthrough the wood origin of the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor advanced directly to a Tier Five Pet Beast, simultaneously giving rise to the nascent form of the Sunflower Fairy.

Once the Sunflower Emperor gained the Emperor's Liquid and the Sun Crystal, and Ye Bai broke through to Tier Six, it would effortlessly become the Sunflower Fairy.
