Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 1642
1642 Fourth Secure Federation Treasure!
There were five rainbow stone pillars lined up with the 13 golden pillars, and they were just as tall as the golden pillars.
The five rainbow stone pillars were where the Radiance Envoys would sit.
However, the Radiance Envoys generally did not participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
The stone pillars were rainbow-colored to represent the color of uncontracted sacred source lifeforms. This was clear enough to tell that the Radiance Federation valued their Radiance Envoys.
!!
Or rather, they valued their legacies.
There were 10 five-colored stone pillars below the 13 golden pillars and five rainbow pillars.
These five-colored stone pillars were shorter, and each pair flanked a rainbow pillar.
These 10 five-colored pillars were where the Radiance Knights sat.
There were also 100 silver pillars significantly shorter than the five-colored pillars.
This was where the Radiance Hundred Sequence sat.
However, the 100 seats would not be filled during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection because Sequence #91 to Sequence #100 would be competing.
Before they passed the selection, they did not have the right to share in the glory of being a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
Lin Yuan stood next to Gao Feng as the two followed the crowd into the courtyard.
At that moment, a moo filled the air, and a giant light green cow with flames at its feet and Yin-Yang patterns on its body appeared.
A young man dressed in red and gold robes was on the light green cow’s back. There was a long scar extending from the corner of his eye to his ear. Yet, the young man’s face did not seem malevolent at all. Rather, it gave him the aura of persistence.
Lin Yuan immediately used Morbius to check on the cow-species fey.
The Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow was Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth II.
Given its grade and quality, the cow-species fey could already change into human form.
Despite clearly being younger than 30, the young man already possessed such power. Since he appeared at the Radiance Sacred Hall, it proved his identity.
Lin Yuan had received a call from An He when he was chatting with Gao Feng last night.
An He had told him that his senior brother, the current third Radiance Envoy Liu Yifan, would attend the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and host the test.
An He worshiped his senior brother.
Lin Yuan realized this when he held a discussion with Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and An He.
There was no way that An He would call and lie to him.
The young man riding the Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow apparently was An He’s senior brother, Long Lamplight’s first disciple, and the current third Radiance Envoy.
The Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow landed on the center rainbow stone pillar, and the crowd cheered when they saw the young man take his seat.
It was very rare for the five Radiance Envoys to make an appearance.
Lin Yuan still had not had the chance to meet them, much less others.
Liu Yifan stood at the center rainbow stone pillar and looked down at the young experts who were about to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
Liu Yifan felt as though he was looking at the 18-year-old version of himself.
He said loudly, “Everyone quiet. As the third Radiance Envoy, I hope that all of you will do your best during the test. Now, let us welcome the Radiance Hundred Sequence.”
The moment Liu Yifan finished speaking, 90 Jade-Holding Cinnabar Cranes carrying 90 members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence flew to the silver pillars.
The Jade-Holding Cinnabar Cranes were very lucky and usually kept in the Hundred Beasts Monastery. They were only used to carry the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence during the annual Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
At that moment, Lin Yuan and Gao Feng noticed a maskless Liu Jie standing at the position of Sequence #1 while Long Tao took the position of Sequence #2.
Now, Liu Jie had the title of Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and Heart of the Insect Swarm.
Liu Jie and Long Tao looked out into the crowd to find where Lin Yuan and Long Tao were.
It was very difficult to pick out two people amongst thousands.
Moreover, Liu Jie and Long Tao realized that many people were wearing silver masks.
When they realized that finding Lin Yuan and Gao Feng would be impossible, they shifted their gazes to Liu Yifan.
Clearly, Liu Yifan was acquainted with Xia Qing as he nodded at her.
Long Tao looked at Liu Yifan with both respect and yearning.
Long Tao wanted to become a Radiance Envoy.
But after discovering Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Zong Ze’s powers, he knew that becoming a Radiance Envoy would be an impossibility for him. Thus, Long Tao set his sights on the five-colored stone pillars behind Liu Yifan.
It was the same for Liu Jie, but he had a completely different idea from Long Tao.
Liu Jie was not giving up because he lacked power but because he realized what it was that he truly wanted. Hence, Liu Jie aimed for the five-colored stone pillars right from the beginning.
Nonetheless, Liu Jie’s gaze moved between the seven rainbow stone pillars as he wondered which seat Lin Yuan would be taking a year later.
At that time, he had to stand firmly behind Lin Yuan.
Most of the contenders for the Radiance Hundred Sequence were focused on the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence because those were the positions that they were aiming for.
If they could prove themselves, they would be carried off on the back of the Jade-Holding Cinnabar Crane to one of the silver stone pillars before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended.
Lin Yuan looked at the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and noticed that Zhao Xiaochun’s progress was the greatest.
The couple Zhao Xiaochun and Shi Xu—one of them was Sequence #6 while the other was Sequence #9.
Shi Xu and Zhao Xiaochun were the only couple in the top ten ranks of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
At that moment, Liu Yifan said austerely, “Let us welcome the fourth of the seven Secure Federation Treasures, the Mountain River Grain God Bells.”
The moment Liu Yifan spoke, a bell chime sounded out, followed by several more in succession.
A power rushed into the Radiance Sacred Hall.
Everyone watched as an enormous set of bells was suspended at the center of the Radiance Sacred Hall.
The bells were bronze and had the patterns of rivers carved into them. Every river had a ley line underneath it, and every line seemed capable of morphing into a dragon at any time.
Although no one had struck them, the bells continued to chime.
