Chapter 1324: Everything is Strange About Tower Canon
No one knew better than Purple Love how much effort Jade Sundial had put into bearing a child.
…
Jade Sundial and Purple Love were looking down from a lofty peak together at that time.
Jade Sundial turned and said to Purple Love with a smile, “Sister Purple, you’re my most treasured friend. No matter what last name my child comes to have, its name will be Love. It’ll represent our sisterly relationship and my hopes for the little tyke.”
…
When Purple Love remembered this, she almost collapsed. But to maintain her parental role, she forcefully slammed a lid over her emotions and stroked the fox beside her as she said, “Little Se, if that member of royalty from the Radiance Federation didn’t help to keep the sun at bay, the nine belts of sunlight that descended would have been like a comfortable spring to a fey with the active Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline but a lethal blow to one without the active Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. Blood Love would have been reduced into ashes.”
The small fox shook its tail and made a mental note of what Purple Love said.
Suddenly, a thought struck the little fox, and it asked Purple Love anxiously, “Auntie Purple, we Heavenly Family Feys are feys that come from nature itself. Since both Sister Blood Love and Uncle Blood New Moon have the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline, will everything still be okay? Uncle Blood New Moon talks about Auntie Jade Sundial and Sister Blood Love every day. Is it possible that he’ll…”
The little fox snapped its jaw shut at this moment.
The members of the Heavenly Family Cottage behind the fox frowned. They all knew Blood New Moon well, and the situation that Little Se brought up was not unlikely.
Blood New Moon would be over the moon to know that his child was still alive and be more than ready to give up everything for his daughter.
Blood New Moon had awakened his Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline and combined it with his Blood Red Bird-Catching Spider bloodline. Now, he was the acknowledged 17th member of the Heavenly Family Cottage.
They had all formed deep bonds with Blood New Moon and did not want him to sacrifice himself.
The younger members were beside themselves with worry, but the older members were not ruffled at all. It was clear that the older members knew more.
Ochre Deer was one of the older members. She quickly calculated the time and said, “Sister Purple Love, judging from the time, Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, and Blood New Moon can’t be in the Radiance Federation now even if they had rushed without stopping.
“Moreover, Blood New Moon left brimming with hate for Tower Canon. Sister Jade Sundial had watched Blue Lotus and White Phoenix grow up. Hence, they’re carrying just as much resentment as Blood New Moon.
“After causing significant trouble for Tower Canon during their journey, there’s no way they will make it to the Radiance Federation in time. Nonetheless, there’s no point in us sitting around and worrying.
“Pear Drop is starting to cry again. Sister Purple Love, why don’t you tell them about Sister Blood Jade Sundial so that they won’t be so worried?”
Purple Love sighed softly.
Every time this matter was brought up, Purple Love felt as though the wound was being viciously ripped open anew.
But since Ochre Deer had spoken up, and looking at the worried expressions of the rest, Purple Love took a deep breath and said, “Wish Ice, I remember that you went around excitedly telling everyone that you became stronger when you barely beat Jade Sundial once during a spar.”
Wish Ice immediately lowered his head. He was not ashamed but thinking about how Jade Sundial had kindly taken care of him like a warm and matronly older sister.
Purple Love went on to say, “Jade Sundial and I had always compared our power. In the beginning, we were equally matched in every fight.”
She paused and continued before the rest could react. “Jade Sundial isn’t like the rest of you. All of you only absorb one type of energy from the environment, but Jade Sundial can absorb two types of energy from the sun.
“As Jade Sundial continued to absorb the two types of energy from the sun, she slowly realized that they were extremely different despite coming from the same source. Light can produce heat and more. Heat can produce fire which can obscure or generate light. Light and heat are interlinked, and Jade Sundial realized that they can’t be progressed together. Heat comes from fire, but light has far more potential than heat.
“Hence, Jade Sundial chose fire and locked light’s potential in her bloodline to save it for her child. So, although it seems that Blood New Moon and Blood Love each have half of the Sky Sundial Jade Spider, Blood New Moon actually took the fire portion of the bloodline while Blood Love inherited the light portion.
“By splitting the bloodline, Jade Sundial created the opportunity for the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline to exist in two entities. All of you stay here for now. Blood New Moon, White Phoenix, and Blue Lotus won’t be able to repay such a colossal favor to the Radiance Federation.
“I’ll personally visit the Radiance Federation to visit the Moon Empress and that member of royalty. Before my return, Ochre Deer will be in charge of our Heavenly Family Cottage, and all decisions will go through her. At this point, our Heavenly Family Cottage cannot rest until Tower Canon is destroyed. For now, try not to leave on your own in case Tower Canon ambushes you.”
Purple Love narrowed her eyes. She had found Tower Canon’s base because of Jade Sundial.
At that time, Purple Love had already sustained a serious injury but still shot three purple crystal curses into First Page Fate. Even if First Page Fate had not died, he would still have been more seriously injured than her.
However, that day had not caused any repercussions. It was as though First Page Fate’s injuries were not an urgent matter to Tower Canon.
Additionally, Purple Love had crossed swords with all Eight Pages in her fit of rage, and they were all weaker than her.
To her memory, they were First Page Crimson, Second Page Warbler Candle, and Third Page Violet Light Green three centuries ago. But now, they were First Page Fate, Second Page Revival, and Third Page Eternal Sin.
Tower Canon was completely different from three centuries ago.
Even if First Page Crimson and Third Page Violet Light Green had died, Second Page Warbler Candle was so wicked that there was no way she would have died.
300 years would be nothing to Second Page Warbler Candle.
Purple Love felt that everything was strange about Tower Canon now. This was why she made sure to pass on words of advice before she left.
