Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Appellation: Su Sheng
"You are my Deceit Beast. We are one and the same."
"Only by stirring the pot and using the chaos to kill Qin Ruyao can I prevent the Moon Purifying Gu parasitizing my body from activating."
The Moon Purifying Gu has one mother and three children. Though activating a Child Gu takes time, once a Child Gu is activated, all mother Gus can sense its location.
At that point, she wouldn’t just be facing Qin Ruyao, a Moon Judge from the Purifying Moon Sect, but would be hunted by the entire Purifying Moon Sect.
Hearing the woman’s words, the Centipede Bone Tomb Princess tightened her arms, holding the Rule Deceit Embryo closer, but still swung her immeasurably long Centipede Tail to command her Ji Bone Clone to inform the Evil Blood Sect.
’I hope those idiots from the Evil Blood Sect don’t arrive too late!’
...
The interior of the Deceitful Moon Tower was much larger than it appeared from the outside. The moment Zhong Yi stepped inside, he was struck by a sense of sudden openness.
Lin Zhuo remembered that she couldn’t help but gasp in amazement the first time she entered the Deceitful Moon Tower.
But Zhong Yi’s expression barely changed upon entering, which made Lin Zhuo pout a little.
"Xiaoyi, the walls of a single Deceitful Moon Tower are inlaid with at least eighty thousand golden nails made of Bendable Soft Gold and over one hundred thousand Void Armor Beetle Brain Crystals."
"The interior space of each Deceitful Moon Tower is about the same size as the entire Hidden Moon Division. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to house so many Deceit Holders and Bizarre."
"The person I want you to meet is on the top floor of the Deceitful Moon Tower."
This time, a truly surprised expression appeared on Zhong Yi’s face.
Bendable Soft Gold, Void Armor Beetle Brain Crystals—these were all exceptionally precious Space Element materials.
Bendable Soft Gold was a special metal produced by mutated Gold-Eating Insects after they consumed Refined Gold.
If an adult Void Armor Beetle failed to advance to the Extraordinary Tier, it would die within a day, and a Brain Crystal would form in its head.
Raising a Void Armor Beetle required feeding it Void Lotus seeds, each costing as much as one hundred thousand Federation Coins.
Even though Void Armor Beetles didn’t grow slowly, it would still take at least a year and a half of munching on Void Lotus seeds for one to reach adulthood.
Neither Bendable Soft Gold nor Void Armor Beetle Brain Crystals were things that could be bought in large quantities, even with money.
Seeing the look of surprise on Zhong Yi’s face, Lin Zhuo revealed a satisfied smile.
Zhong Yi was currently wearing the mask ground from a Phantom Phosphorus Crystal Dragon Crystal. Lin Zhuo had made him put it on before they entered the Ghost Suppression Bureau.
’I think I know why Lin Zhuo is taking me to see this Deceit Holder who possesses a Deceitful Moon Badge. The exquisite decor here doesn’t feel extravagant at all. Deceit Holders serve as a bridge between the Bizarre and normal Guardian Beast Masters. Despite possessing such great Talent, they choose to sacrifice their lifespans and robust physiques. And to ensure their safety, they have to live their entire lives inside a Deceitful Moon Tower. In my opinion, no amount of comfort or luxury is too much for them.’
Along the way, Zhong Yi followed Lin Zhuo and saw many Bizarre living lives no different from ordinary people inside the Deceitful Moon Tower.
While the lower floors of the Deceitful Moon Tower were luxuriously decorated, the top floor was, by contrast, much simpler.
An old woman was sitting at a table, combing her silver hair, which was long enough to touch the floor.
Although the old woman’s face was ancient, her eyes were exceptionally lively. Just looking at her eyes, one could easily mistake them for a young girl’s.
The old woman wore a plain-colored long gown, the only ornaments on her hands being two heavy-looking, plain silver bracelets.
Upon seeing Lin Zhuo and Zhong Yi, the old woman immediately stood up, took two respectful steps forward, and bowed to each of them in turn.
"Lord Wei Re, and you, Lord Celestial Destiny Seeker, I am deeply honored by your visit."
"This is the first time I am meeting this lord, so I do not yet know how I should address you, Lord."
"Once I know your title, I will feel remorse for my presumptuousness today."
Lin Zhuo suddenly thought of something and, with a smile, reached out to pat Zhong Yi’s shoulder.
"Xiaoyi, what do you think of the title Su Sheng?"
"Revival, rebirth, bursting with new Life Force... I really think the title Su Sheng suits you perfectly!"
Zhong Yi had long known that Celestial Destiny Seekers received their own exclusive titles.
To show respect, others would address a Celestial Destiny Seeker by their title followed by "Lord," rather than using their given name.
Only before a title was established would their name be used instead. Zhong Yi had never thought about his own Celestial Destiny Seeker title before.
Hearing Lin Zhuo give him the title Su Sheng, Zhong Yi’s expression turned a little strange.
Su Sheng happened to be the name of the Resurrection Celestial Lord!
The moment Lin Zhuo said the name "Su Sheng," the Resurrection Celestial Lord in Zhong Yi’s Soul Base started hopping around excitedly like a puppy.
It leaped up and down on its throne with joy, much to the disdain of the Soul-Controlling Flower.
’The Resurrection Celestial Lord clearly loves the title Su Sheng. My status as a Celestial Destiny Seeker comes from my Order Beast, and I definitely have to spoil my own Order Beast.’
"Sister Zhuo, then let’s make my future title Su Sheng."
Lin Zhuo had just explained the meaning of Su Sheng: revival, rebirth, and brimming with new Life Force.
To take Su Sheng as a title was incredibly high-profile!
However, since Zhong Yi’s potential as a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker had already been rated SSS Level, it wasn’t unreasonable for his title to be a bit more high-profile.
After all, the Resurrection Celestial Lord’s current Tier was only Mortal Beast Level, Unranked, yet it possessed such a formidable Healing Ability with just a single Basic Skill and its Rule Authority.
The Resurrection Celestial Lord’s future development held infinite possibilities.
Hearing this, the old woman hurriedly bowed again.
"My name is Chen Yin. It is an honor to meet you again, Lord Su Sheng."
As a Celestial Destiny Seeker, Zhong Yi was entitled to the rights and honors that came with the status.
But as a modern person, he also had the good habit of respecting the old and caring for the young.
Zhong Yi quickly stepped forward to help Chen Yin up and had her sit back down at the table.
A gauze curtain had been obscuring the front of the table. Looking past it, Zhong Yi saw a Jade Basin nearly three meters in diameter.
In the Jade Basin was an enormous plant nearly eight meters tall. This plant had over ten sword-like, verdant green leaves, each six to seven meters long.
These leaves, like guards, stood protectively around sixteen stalks in the center.
Each stalk was covered in fist-sized, moon-white flowers. The flower at the very top of each stalk was much larger than the others.
The round pistil in the center of each flower resembled a full moon, held high by the stalk.
The round pistils radiated a clear brilliance like moonlight, and these sixteen "full moons" gave the plant an ultimate, sacred beauty.
Zhong Yi could faintly see a pupil-like shape on each of the "full moons" held up in the center of the flowers.
Within the pupils were shadows in various poses. These shadows were clearly the Bizarre that the Moon Eyes Linglan controlled with its Skill, Eyes Reflecting the Waning Moon.
