Chapter 1016: Are There Multiple Mates?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A piece of paper flew out of the center paper storm.
Wen Yu changed back into human form with the paper clutched in her hand and said in amazement, “So the legend is true! I always thought that the secrets written in the books in the Hidden Moon Pavilion about the time before the Spirit Qi Awakening were all myths. But if the Sundial Sky Jade Spider is real, is it connected to the lava zone in the south pole? In the legend, the Sky Sundial Jade Spider will consume—”
Suddenly, Wen Yu stopped and looked at the Mother of Bloodbath awkwardly.
The Mother of Bloodbath picked up from where Wen Yu stopped and said, “I don’t know if the legend you’re talking about is real, but if a pinnacle Creation VIII or recently turned Immortal Sky Sundial Jade Spider dies, it’s possible to create a volcanic zone in the south pole.”
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie were completely bewildered.
They did not know why Wen Yu had suddenly stopped talking or what legend the Mother of Bloodbath and Wen Yu were referring to.
Neither of them could believe that the volcanoes in the south pole of the Radiance Federation were linked to a fey.
“You don’t have to be awkward. The Sky Sundial Jade Spider will eat its mate when it’s pregnant. In fact, it’ll eat more than one. The Sky Sundial Jade Spider will absorb energy by eating its mates before choosing one of the mate’s bloodline to fuse with its egg. My mother is the Sky Sundial Jade Spider.”
Numerous questions popped into Lin Yuan’s head.
What did it mean by eating more than one mate? Could the Sky Sundial Jade Spider have more than one mate?
Wen Yu handed the confused Lin Yuan the piece of paper in her hand.
The moment he read the contents of the paper, Lin Yuan felt as though his world had turned upside down.
If the Sky Sundial Jade Spider was truly like how the information on the paper described it to be, it had to be the strangest fey that Lin Yuan had ever encountered.
The Sky Sundial Jade Spider was both male and female and could carry one egg at its peak period.
It was at its strongest when it was pregnant and would release powerful pheromones.
The Sky Sundial Jade Spider’s pheromones were deathly seductive to any male spider-species fey that the Sky Sundial Jade Spider deemed acceptable.
The male spider-species fey would do its best to be near the pregnant Sky Sundial Jade Spider and regard the Sky Sundial Jade Spider as its mate.
However, the spider-species fey would have no idea that there was already an egg in the Sky Sundial Jade Spider’s body and that it would only end up as the Sky Sundial Jade Spider’s energy source.
According to legend, the appearance of one Sky Sundial Jade Spider would result in the population of spider-species feys in the main world dropping by at least 10%.
Nonetheless, the male spider-species feys would not die in vain, and the Sky Sundial Jade Spider would choose one lucky spider-species fey to have its bloodline injected into its egg.
This strange gestation process allowed the Sky Sundial Jade Spider to be one of the rare feys that could comprehend two Law Runes using its two bloodlines. Moreover, the laws comprehended by the Sky Sundial Jade Spider were set.
Once the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline was awakened, it would comprehend a law from the sun that it could use to manipulate the power of the sun.
Lin Yuan stared at the Mother of Bloodbath dazedly for a while. It seemed that the lucky male spider-species fey that the Mother of Bloodbath’s mother had chosen was the Blood-Red Bird Catching Spider.
It also seemed that the Mother of Bloodbath had been suppressing its Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline while displaying its Blood-Red Bird Catching Spider bloodline.
Lin Yuan needed to absorb this information. But he had also discovered just how much potential the Mother of Bloodbath possessed.
He had once heard the Moon Empress say that there was a fey in the main world called the heavenly family fey that had the potential to gain unimaginable power.
The Sky Sundial Jade Spider was probably a heavenly family fey.
The Mother of Bloodbath noticed that Wen Yu, Liu Jie, and Lin Yuan all looked confused, and a smile stretched across its cold face.
“Just ask all your questions. Since I’m going to tell you my secret, I’m ready to answer all questions.”
Lin Yuan softly asked, “Mother of Bloodbath, why haven’t you chosen to awaken your Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline? Is it because you need pure spirit qi?”
The Mother of Bloodbath assumed that Lin Yuan would be extremely curious after it told its secret, but it did not expect Lin Yuan to want to know what it needed.
Just how thoughtful was Lin Yuan?
The Mother of Bloodbath coughed and said, “I only found out when I reached Suzerain that I have the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline inside me. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to unlock it. However, I didn’t expect that awakening the Sky Sundial Jade Spider’s bloodline would result in the power of the sun descending and changing my body. It was because I was damaged by the sun’s power that I almost died during my World Cleansing to become Myth Breed. At that time, I used my Blood-Red Bird Catching Spider bloodline to suppress the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. I thought that I would have to suppress the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline forever.
“But if I have the pure blood energy from the Diamond X/Legend Blood Brew Grapevine that was allowed to grow freely, I can use it to activate the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. This’ll allow my body to be able to sustain the sun’s power and the transformation that comes with it. Spirit qi is the basic building block of all feys. With the aid of pure spirit qi, my body will be able to absorb the sun’s power quicker.
“This is the only way I’ll have the courage to challenge taking on the sun’s power to see if I’ll be able to transform into the Sky Sundial Jade Spider to comprehend another law or if I’ll be reduced into a pile of ash.”
Lin Yuan no longer had any more questions.
He looked into the Mother of Bloodbath’s eyes seriously and said, “Don’t worry about the pure spirit qi. Leave it to me. I just hope that you’ll be fully ready to unlock the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline.”
The Mother of Bloodbath could see how sincere Lin Yuan was about his promise. It nodded and replied, “Don’t worry! I won’t unlock the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline unless I’m completely prepared.”
It thought to itself, I would much rather be with you and everyone in the Return from Faraway Mansion than become stronger.
While they ate breakfast, Lin Yuan thought about what else he would need to prepare to help the Mother of Bloodbath successfully unlock its Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline.
However, he could not come up with anything.
