Chapter 1987

1987 The Unageing Holy Lady!
The attendant shook her head and returned to her senses.
The five dishes had large portions, but the gentle and elegant young man had managed to finish all of them and still complained that the quantity had been too little.
At that moment, the attendant heard the other customers calling her, and she hurriedly scampered off to work.
The next time she had time and thought back to the young man’s existing gaze, all the hair stood up on her body.
Suddenly, she realized what the gaze meant. That young man had been looking at her as though she was a plate of food.
…
After the Crown Wood Banquet ended, Ding Chengshuo was invited by a few old friends to have a small gathering.
He returned to his room after the gathering was over and was about to contact Lin Yuan using the Thoughts Letter Paper when he felt the space in the room fluctuating slightly.
The figure of an unfamiliar young man appeared in the spot where Lin Yuan told him to mark out using the tentacle.
However, Ding Chengshuo had no intention of attacking the young man because he had traveled through the spatial tagging. It had to either be Lin Yuan or one of Lin Yuan’s people.
Ding Chengshuo hurriedly took on a respectful demeanor.
He was the only person from Sacred Forest City who knew that Sky Creation, the faction that had shaken up the entire Sacred Forest City, was nothing more than a result of Lin Yuan’s casual fabrication. Even the tree castle that Sky Creation resided in used to be that of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.
Ding Chengshuo knew what his position was in Lin Yuan’s faction. He knew that he was nothing more than a peripheral member and that he could not afford to offend anyone from the faction.
At that moment, Ding Chengshuo heard a familiar voice say, “City Lord Ding, I thank you for your hospitality tonight. Has anything unusual happened in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm?”
Faceless Paper could change one’s appearance but could not alter one’s voice. As such, Ding Chengshuo instantly recognized the voice as belonging to Lin Yuan.
Ding Chengshuo hurriedly replied, “Lord, everything is as per usual in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. Nothing special has taken place. However, there will be a questioning tomorrow before we enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, which will likely require you to speak.
“The Holy Lady has never met you and won’t recognize your voice, but many families from Sacred Forest City will be sending members to the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. Many of them will be able to place your voice.”
Lin Yuan replied, “You don’t have to worry about my voice. I have my own way of settling it. You have mentioned the Holy Lady many times. I want to know what’s so special about her. Is she from a major family?
Ding Chengshuo was silent for a moment before he told Lin Yuan about everything he knew.
“When I was young, I spent some time as a pupil in the Yu family in Sacred Forest City. One of their Class 1 Creation Masters had become pinnacle Class 2 Creation Master. I was 29 years old and was rewarded by the Yu family and given the chance to join because I developed a spirit fluid recipe. Since I had a decent amount of power and Creation Master ability is greatly highlighted in Sacred Forest City, I was given a small position in the Yu family despite not being a disciple.
“At that time, I had the chance to see the Holy Lady once. More than 70 years have passed since then, and I’m old now, but the Holy Lady’s features have not changed in the slightest. At the time, I managed to find a plant-type fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline with decent abilities for the Yu family.
“After working for the Yu family for ten years and becoming a Class 4 Creation Master, I gained my freedom. I traveled to the border of the Divine Wood Federation and built a city. The Divine Wood Federation’s factions are used to having the Holy Lady around. But the year that I entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, I heard one of the Yang family’s direct descendants say that the Holy Lady had appeared out of the blue years ago. She used her own capabilities to gain jurisdiction over the opening and closing of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm and started acting as its owner. Thus, the Yang family left her alone. It’s likely that there is a secret deal between the Holy Lady and the Yang family.”
Lin Yuan’s synapses immediately lit up with activity when he heard what Ding Chengshuo said.
It seemed likely that the Holy Lady was not human. Otherwise, she would not be exempted from aging.
The whirlpool of spirit qi in a spirit qi professional’s body could only be used to slow down the process of aging once they reached king-class. Only at emperor-class would they be able to freeze their features. This was why there were powerhouses in top factions who looked elderly, middle-aged, as well as young.
The Moon Empress had been called an unparalleled genius of her generation but only reached emperor-class when she was 27 years old. Thus, her features were frozen at that age.
Becoming an emperor-class expert was not as simple as having a Myth Breed fey. The spirit qi professional’s rank had to reach S-rank.
It was challenging for a spirit qi professional to reach S-rank at 27 years old.
Currently, the disciples of royalty were all still stuck at pinnacle B-rank.
Many of the current Radiance Envoys had reached 27 or 28 years old but were only at A-rank. They still had a long way to go before they reached S-rank.
Lin Yuan heard from Yi Huailong that the Holy Lady looked to be around 15 years old. There was no way that a spirit qi professional could have reached emperor-class by that age to freeze their looks.
There had to be something up with the Holy Lady!
The Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was a small independent dimensional space. It could only be controlled from the inside.
For example, when Lin Yuan took control of the Class 3 water world dimensional rift, he also had to do so from the inside in order to seal it off.
Even an Eternal expert could not cause a dimensional rift to disappear before they retrieved the source-type item within.
This thought made Lin Yuan smile.
Chances were high that the Holy Lady was linked to the lifeform inside the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.
Normally, one did not need Creation Master abilities to enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm to search for resources because it would not be useful in retrieving treasures.
Power was what mattered.
However, there was an unspoken rule in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, which was that the elder members of families with seats on the council had to send in Creation Masters, and the younger generation had to possess Creation Master abilities.
Curiosity bloomed within Lin Yuan.
