Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2969
Chapter 2969 Transformed Thunder-Descending Shadow!
….
This was not a bad thing for Sky City’s future development, but it greatly affected Lin Yuan’s goal of establishing Sky City.
Although these creatures who had displayed outstanding abilities and talents could also provide faith, the repeated transmission of faith power would indeed cause a waste of faith power.
Su Yiren and Luo Lan did not know how to deal with this situation.
Lin Yuan had already expected this to happen. Otherwise, he would not have been so anxious to transform Season Cycle into a faerie.
Lin Yuan needed to nurture the Faith Tree through Season Cycle. Fortunately, when the Abyss Red Lotus evolved into the Realm Abyss Red Lotus and obtained a new exclusive skill, everything was resolved.
Lin Yuan only needed to use his Body of All Spirits to support the Realm Abyss Red Lotus to refine the Continent Vein Cores.
Lin Yuan told Luo Lan and Su Yiren relaxedly, “Yiren, Luo Lan, I already know what you two are talking about. In another ten days, this matter will be properly resolved.
“The operation of the faith country can’t rely on just the two of you. If the faith country wants to develop properly, it needs to nurture a large number of talents to be placed in every part of the faith country! And these living beings who can obtain faith power are all talents worth nurturing in the future!
“You can pay more attention to these people and select them to be nurtured. When we nurture these people, they can take on a lot of the pressure for you. They can also make the faith country more stable and increase the citizens’ happiness! This will enable them to produce more faith power!”
Seeing Lin Yuan’s relaxed demeanor and hearing his assurance that the matter would soon be resolved, they were relieved, knowing that the faith country would remain unaffected for the next ten days.
The burden on Luo Lan and Su Yiren’s hearts lifted. Having previously managed federations themselves, they understood Lin Yuan’s intentions.
These individuals would one day become leaders in their own right. Su Yiren and Luo Lan had even debated whether it was necessary to eliminate them to consolidate the power of faith. Doing so would secure faith power acquisition for the faith country, but it would result in significant losses in other areas.
With Lin Yuan’s encouragement to nurture these individuals, Luo Lan and Su Yiren set out to select a group to form their stable team.
Su Yiren and Luo Lan would have to take over a bigger business in the future. The faith country would continue to expand and they couldn’t focus on the current matters.
Cultivating some people would free Su Yiren and Luo Lan, and it would also make it easier for them to manage the faith country.
“Young Master, we know what to do! By the way, do you recall those Thunder-Descending Shadows you requested us to position throughout the faith country?
“We’ve already stationed the Thunder-Descending Shadows in the designated temples. Utilizing the resources you provided, we’ve nurtured these shadows diligently. At present, the strongest Thunder-Descending Shadow has reached Sovereign/Creation VI.
“Young Master, would you like to inspect the progress of these Thunder-Descending Shadows? To facilitate homage and manage disputes, we’ve intentionally altered the form of the Thunder-Descending Shadows, allowing them to absorb feys with distinct characteristics.
“This adjustment ensures that when an elemental creature like the Thunder-Descending Shadow assumes a humanoid form, it possesses a symbolic item indicative of its strength and status!”
Naturally, Lin Yuan had not forgotten about the Thunder-Descending Shadows. They could be considered the key to maintaining Sky City’s stability and allowing it to produce faith power!
If there were few Thunder-Descending Shadows, their value would be greatly reduced.
However, the thunder zone that had been guided to Sky Sea’s back could already produce Thunder-Descending Shadows steadily!
Lin Yuan was rather curious about the Thunder-Descending Shadows’ growth.
Lin Yuan remembered that before he left the faith country, the Thunder-Descending Shadows were only at Diamond/Legend. To be able to nurture them to Sovereign/Creation VI in a few months was already very fast!
“You guys did very well. The leopard form is indeed not compatible with the function that the Thunder-Descending Shadow needs to perform. Summon them. I’m really curious about how well they have been nurtured!
“If the Thunder-Descending Shadow’s subsequent abilities and exclusive skills are different from what we expected, we need to specially guide them!”
Seeing that Lin Yuan was interested in the Thunder-Descending Shadow, Luo Lan summoned them from the fey storage box.
Purple light flashed with golden lightning, and the Thunder-Descending Shadow materialized before Lin Yuan.
These Thunder-Descending Shadows were markedly different from the leopard-shaped ones Lin Yuan had encountered previously. Now, they boasted three pairs of wings intertwined with Thunder Light, each pair exceptionally broad, dispersing Thunder Light with every beat.
Donned in robust purple-gold armor, the humanoid Thunder-Descending Shadows sported three towering horns resembling a mountain, exuding an imposing presence akin to that of a god—a sight to behold for any mortal.
Lin Yuan recognized one of them as the very creature he had once nurtured. During its infancy, it had been wild and unruly, relentlessly resisting Lin Yuan’s efforts with incessant struggles and roars.
Now that the strength of this Thunder-Descending Shadow had increased, it had extremely high intelligence.
When it faced him, it was no longer as violent as before. Instead, it showed a hint of intimacy.
Lin Yuan used True Data to investigate the Thunder-Descending Shadow.
[Fey Name]: Thunder-Descending Shadow (Angel Form)
[Fey Species]: Elemental-species/elemental-genus
[Fey Grade]: Sovereign (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Thunder
[Fey Quality]: Creation VI
Abilities:
[Thunder Light]: Activates the thunder energy in one’s body, transforming oneself into a glowing object that connects to the clouds in the sky and emits the same amount of light along with the clouds.
[Thunder Roar]: Rapidly rotates and rubs the thunder energy within oneself, producing a violent roar to stimulate the eardrums. In the presence of condensing clouds, the clouds will also emit a roar of an equivalent degree.
[Thunder Transformation]: Allows one’s body to absorb the aura of other lifeforms in the environment, enabling it to simulate the appearance of other lifeforms.
[Thunder Appearance]: Fills the surroundings with thunder energy. Wherever the thunder energy goes, it has a concealment effect. When the thunder energy touches the target, it can detect the target’s location before the thunder energy dissipates.
[Thunder Flame Suspension]: The suspended thunder ball pulls the target and attaches the target to the thunder ball. The thunder energy inside the thunder ball, friction at high speeds, activates the fire elements to burn the target attached to the thunder ball. After burning the target’s body to ashes, the spirit and soul will be imprisoned in the thunder ball.
[Annihilation Thundercloud]: Summons thunderclouds to cover an area. The thunder that descends from the thunderclouds will cause damage to lifeforms. Initially, it will paralyze the target, and attacking the paralyzed target will double the effectiveness of the attacks.
[Thunder Body Tempering]: Place the special thunder energy on the target specified in the range. Use the thunder energy to help the target temper their body and increase the toughness of their body. At the same time, it also has a weak effect of removing impurities in their bodies.
[Extreme Lightning Energy Storage]: When facing thunderstorms, it can collect the violent lightning in the thunderstorm into the lightning space it has opened up. It can convert the thunder energy in the lightning space to recover its consumption and provide its own continuous mobility.
Exclusive Skill:
[Thunder Marking]: Creates a mark on the target using thunder energy. Afterward, one’s damage-type abilities will not affect the target with the mark.
[Mighty Lightning Form]: When facing a target that is resistant and unwilling to obey, use the Mighty Lightning Form to intimidate the target with its appearance. There is a certain chance of making the target submit to it.
[Lightning Birth]: When being attacked from the outside world and in a near-death state, as long as the thunder crystal nurtured by the body is not destroyed, the thunder crystal can continuously replenish thunder energy in an environment rich in thunder energy. The thunder crystal can reproduce the body and the newly nurtured body will have the same strength as before.
[Tribulation Body Guiding]: When the thunder energy possessed reaches its limit, it can trigger the lightning tribulation to refine the thunder crystal in its body and expand the energy of the thunder crystal to boost its abilities and exclusive skills. Every successful lightning tribulation can increase the effect of its abilities and exclusive skills by about 5% (Number of lightning tribulations: 2).
The Thunder-Descending Shadows had always been functional feys in Lin Yuan’s heart, and he had always treated them as such.
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the Thunder-Descending Shadow’s new exclusive skills. Its abilities and exclusive skills were either life-saving or improved its functionality.
For example, Thunder Body Tempering had the effect of improving the physical fitness of living beings and tempering the body to remove impurities.
The Thunder-Descending Shadow’s effect on improving the physical fitness of living beings was not as good as the Star Vastness Peony’s and its effect on removing impurities was not as good as the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.
However, whether it was the tempering of the Star Vastness Peony or the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar, they could only be used by the core members of Sky City. They could not benefit too many people.
However, the Thunder-Descending Shadow could use Thunder Body Tempering to benefit all the white-clothed followers as well as the members of the combat and reserve sequences. Even the talents that Su Yiren and Luo Lan had discovered in the faith country would have the opportunity to temper themselves.
The Thunder-Descending Shadows could serve as a reward for contributors. Additionally, it could subtly bolster Sky City’s strength. It possessed an incredibly potent functional ability!
Extreme Lightning Energy Storage harnessed the energy of thunderstorms from the sky and stored it within the Thunder-Descending Shadow’s body.
This not only neutralized the adverse effects of thunderstorm weather on the faith country but also empowered the Thunder-Descending Shadow to utilize other abilities with greater endurance. It enabled the Thunder-Descending Shadow to fully leverage its functional capabilities.
With a sufficient absorption of thunderstorms, even if the casting of Thunder Body Tempering depleted significant energy, it could still sustain the ability’s effects.
Apart from these two opportunities, the Thunder-Descending Shadow’s three new exclusive skills were as effective on faith country as the two new abilities were.
Mighty Thunder Form was an exclusive skill that suited the Thunder-Descending Shadow’s role of being a sacrifice.
There were many people in the faith country, so it was inevitable that there were traitors among them. Under the condition of ensuring the perfect circulation of faith, the demon insects dealt with numerous people who obstructed the peace of the faith country every day.
Mighty Thunder Form would allow the Thunder-Descending Shadow to educate these disobedient people who were unwilling to contribute their faith, giving these people a chance to contribute their faith in the future.
Cultivating the Thunder-Descending Shadows required a significant consumption of resources, especially considering Lin Yuan’s utilization of resources to forcibly enhance their strength.
Should anything happen to the Thunder-Descending Shadows, Lin Yuan would need to nurture them anew. This would not only entail a substantial investment of resources but also potentially disrupt the operations of the faith country due to the void left by the absent Thunder-Descending Shadows.
Lightning Transformation served as a life-saving exclusive skill, allowing the Thunder-Descending Shadow to survive on the brink of death or with only the elemental core remaining in its body.
As long as the crystallized elemental core remained intact, the Thunder-Descending Shadow’s energy core would be transported to the thunder zone. There, it could swiftly resurrect, thus conserving Sky City’s resources and time.
This perpetual cycle allowed the Thunder-Descending Shadows to serve as perpetual sacrifices in the faith country.
Unlike flesh and blood lifeforms, elemental lifeforms did not possess a finite lifespan. In certain special environments, they could endure indefinitely.
Spring had previously imparted this knowledge to Lin Yuan.
It was highly probable that elemental lifeforms had inhabited perilous locations in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for countless years.
However, these enduring elemental lifeforms were typically not feared as monsters to be avoided by people. Instead, they represented opportunities sought after by various factions.
The speed at which elemental lifeforms increased their strength was largely related to the environment they were in.
Once an elemental lifeform grew in an environment, the elemental energy in the environment would be greatly consumed.
This made it so that even if elemental lifeforms had unlimited lifespans, their strength would still be limited.
The environment where these elemental creatures lived often nurtured many natural treasures.
However, if there were elemental lifeforms in places that could continuously produce elemental energy, their strength would reach an unimaginable level!
The reason Spring knew so much about elemental lifeforms was that she had started as an elemental lifeform.
The fact that Spring’s strength could increase to this extent was enough to show the potential of elemental lifeforms.
