Chapter 3086 Genius' Last Piece of the Puzzle!
Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, and the Enlightenment Cicada landed on his fingertip. The frequent flapping of the Enlightenment Cicada's wings made Lin Yuan's fingers tingle.
Lin Yuan looked at the Enlightenment Cicada's anxious expression and smiled, "Little fella, the Willpower Rune I comprehended was prepared for you. You can absorb it at any time. When I bring you to absorb this Willpower Rune to advance to Fantasy Breed, I will provide you with the other energy you need."
When it saw that Lin Yuan allowed it to absorb the Willpower Rune, the Enlightenment Cicada welcomed the Willpower Rune and merged with it.
The sound of cicadas chirping echoed from time to time. Lin Yuan crushed a large number of spirit qi crystals to provide the Enlightenment Cicada with a large amount of pure spirit qi.
It did not take long for the Enlightenment Cicada to complete its transformation. The appearance of the Enlightenment Cicada that had stepped into Fantasy Breed mostly stayed the same from before. The name of the Enlightenment Cicada also mostly stayed the same in True Data.
The bloodline of feys like the Enlightenment Cicada was extremely high. It was very difficult for their bloodline to undergo mutations when they stepped into Fantasy Breed.
Enlightenment Cicada obtained a new exclusive skill after stepping into Fantasy Breed. It was called Cicada Epiphany Molting.
[Cicada Epiphany Molting]: When it sheds its sh.e.l.l, a portion of its enlightenment power will condense on the sh.e.l.l. The enlightenment power on the sh.e.l.l can be directly absorbed by other feys. There are no side effects to increase the epiphany power of other feys in a short period of time.
Cicada Epiphany Molting had the same effect as Comprehension Enlightenment. In terms of ability, Cicada Epiphany Molting was an enhanced version of Comprehension Enlightenment.
Comprehension Enlightenment required the Enlightenment Cicada to personally cast it on the target, but Cicada Epiphany Molting was a product of the Enlightenment Cicada.
The Enlightenment Cicada could be produced every once in a while.
When the Enlightenment Cicada used Comprehension Enlightenment on a target, the increase in the target's epiphany power would continuously decrease. However, Cicada Epiphany Molting did not have such side effects.
Apart from using the Cicada Epiphany Molting, Lin Yuan would also give a portion to Sky City's core members.
With the help of the Cicada Epiphany Molting, not only could his master, the Moon Empress, comprehend more Willpower Runes and contract more feys according to her combat system, but she could also improve her path as a Creator.
At Grade 4, the improvement of a Creator's ability could be said to be closely related to their comprehension.
Previously, Lin Yuan had suppressed the Enlightenment Cicada's grade. Now that it had become a Fantasy Breed, Lin Yuan could let it increase its strength as it pleased.
The Enlightenment Cicada's grade continued to rise as it absorbed the pure spirit qi provided by Lin Yuan.
When it reached Diamond X/Fantasy V, the Enlightenment Cicada's advancement speed slowed down.
Even other feys at the Enlightenment Cicada's level would need some time to settle down if they wanted to charge towards the Myth Breed.
Lin Yuan investigated the Diamond X/Fantasy V Enlightenment Cicada.
[Fey Name]: Enlightenment Cicada
[Fey Species]: Transparent-winged species/Spotted-winged species
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Natural
[Fey Quality]: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Comprehension Enlightenment]: Through the smell emitted by the target and its cry, it can temporarily increase the target's comprehension of nature and the target's own comprehension ability, greatly increasing the target's comprehension.
[Enlightenment Protection]: During the process of enlightenment, the target can be prevented from suffering the backlash of external forces.
[Barrier Breaking Cicada Chirp]: When protecting a target through enlightenment, if the target is stuck at a certain level and can't advance, it can help the target break through the limitation by consuming its own roots power.
[Contract Symbiosis]: Contracts with a lifeform. When contracted with this lifeform, it will be able to obtain the growth speed of the lifeform. The lifeform contracted with it can also obtain a similar level of comprehension.
[Cicada Artifact Body Transformation]: Allows oneself to enter a dormant state and transform into an artifact. When there is enough energy to nourish the body that has turned into an artifact, it can speed up the formation of the cicada molt.
[Comprehension Curse]: Uses one's own comprehension ability to restrict the target. When the target's comprehension ability is weaker than one's own, it will restrict the target's comprehension ability, causing the target to lose all comprehension.
Exclusive Skill:
[Indestructible Cicada]: When your body is damaged by external forces and dies, its antenna will integrate into the natural environment and become a part of it. After a period of time, it can be reborn in this environment.
[Cicada Epiphany Molting]: When one sheds their sh.e.l.l, a portion of their enlightenment power will condense on the sh.e.l.l. The enlightenment power on the sh.e.l.l can be directly absorbed by other Holy Spirit Realm cultivators. There are no side effects to increase the enlightenment power of other living beings in a short period of time.
From Bronze X/Fantasy V to Diamond X/Fantasy V, the Enlightenment Cicada had obtained a total of four abilities. In Lin Yuan's opinion, each of these four abilities appeared more important to Lin Yuan than the last.
The Silver ability, Barrier Breaking Cicada Chirp, and the Elite ability, Enlightenment Protection, were linked abilities.
Since each fey's epiphany power varied, so did the things they sought to comprehend. This often caused the final outcome of the epiphany to be different. Enlightenment Cicada might not necessarily be able to comprehend what it wanted through the enhancement of Comprehension Enlightenment.
However, Barrier Breaking Cicada Chirp could forcefully break through the barrier at the cost of one of the Enlightenment Cicada's roots, allowing the target to comprehend what they wanted to comprehend.
Lin Yuan would use this ability carefully because he did not want it to affect the Enlightenment Cicada's safety. Once the Enlightenment Cicada's roots were damaged, it would probably be very difficult to recover.
Lin Yuan would only ask the Enlightenment Cicada to spend a large amount of roots power to help him break through the barrier if he had no other choice. Of course, not every use of the Enlightenment Cicada's Barrier Breaking Cicada Chirp required a significant expenditure of roots power. It was possible that there were many times when one was just a step away, they could successfully achieve comprehension with the help of the Enlightenment Cicada.
The Gold ability, Contract Symbiosis, was the Enlightenment Cicada's own opportunity. At the same time, it could also bring opportunities to other lifeforms. The speed at which the Enlightenment Cicada increased its strength was extremely slow. This was very related to the advanced bloodline level of the Enlightenment Cicada. However, with the Contract Symbiosis, the Enlightenment Cicada could increase its growth speed through other lifeforms. Similarly, it could bestow profound comprehension upon other lifeforms.
The moment Lin Yuan saw the Enlightenment Cicada Gold ability, he subconsciously thought of Genius. Genius' strength had originally increased extremely quickly. The reason it was stuck at the Myth Breed and could not step into the Holy Spirit level was that Genius' comprehension was limited. It could be said that comprehension was Genius' greatest limitation!
If Genius became the contracted object of the Enlightenment Cicada's Contract Symbiosis, Genius would provide growth speed, and the Enlightenment Cicada would provide comprehension for Genius.
Genius would be able to completely break free from the shackles of its bloodline and truly soar into the sky. By then, Genius, who had sufficient comprehension, achieving the status of a Grade 5 creator was not only feasible, but it might even become a Grade 6 Creator.
Lin Yuan continued to look at the Enlightenment Cicada's Platinum ability, Cicada Artifact Body Transformation, which was different from the exclusive skill of ordinary feys.
The Enlightenment Cicada transformed itself into an artifact that could not become a contractor's weapon. Instead, it made it easier for the Enlightenment Cicada to absorb the surrounding energy faster and let it produce the cicada molt.
Cicada Epiphany Molting had a great effect. Even a true Grade 6 Creator would go crazy over this effect.
The Enlightenment Cicada had obtained a skill that could quickly produce Cicada Epiphany Molting, which was very meaningful to Lin Yuan. It greatly increased the value of the Enlightenment Cicada.
During normal days, Lin Yuan would let the Enlightenment Cicada spend most of its time in the Cicada Artifact Body Transformation state.
The Diamond ability, Comprehension Curse of the Enlightenment Cicada was equivalent to a curse. The Enlightenment Cicada could use its astonis.h.i.+ng comprehension ability to suppress the target and restrict the target's comprehension ability.
The Enlightenment Cicada may not be formidable as many lifeforms of the same level could defeat it. However, in terms of comprehension, there were probably very few lifeforms in the world that could compare to it.
With Lin Yuan's help, the Enlightenment Cicada had become more intimate with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan said, "You've already reached Diamond X/Fantasy V. Even if there are enough resources for you in the future, it will be extremely difficult for you to increase your strength because of your bloodline. You can choose a partner with Contract Symbiosis. I'll recommend one to you later. This partner can definitely increase your strength quickly. At the same time, it also needs the comprehension you provide for it."
As Lin Yuan's contracted object, the Enlightenment Cicada would not reject Lin Yuan's words. Lin Yuan's discussion with the Enlightenment Cicada stemmed from his respect for the Enlightenment Cicada, so the Enlightenment Cicada wouldn't refuse Lin Yuan's suggestions.
To be honest, Enlightenment Cicada was looking forward to Lin Yuan arranging a companion for it. Once the Enlightenment Cicada chose a partner through Contract Symbiosis, it could no longer change the partner it chose. The Enlightenment Cicada had complete trust in Lin Yuan and was certain that he would not trick it.
Lin Yuan summoned Genius and was about to introduce Genius to the Enlightenment Cicada when he realized that Genius was already playing very well with it.
Genius could be considered a social expert among all Lin Yuan's feys.
Lin Yuan did not expect the Enlightenment Cicada to be so familiar with Genius during the time it was in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
After Lin Yuan told the Enlightenment Cicada that Genius was the companion he had chosen for it, the Enlightenment Cicada happily signed a contract with Genius.
Without needing Lin Yuan to explain too much to Genius, the latter understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Yuan's decision to let the Enlightenment Cicada form a contract with it.
Upon sensing the astonis.h.i.+ng comprehension it had suddenly obtained, Genius said excitedly, "Yuan, I wasn't confident in your high expectations. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to reach your expectations. Now I can finally pick up the confidence I lost. I can confirm that with such comprehension, I will be able to successfully step into the Holy Spirit level soon."
Among all Lin Yuan's feys, Genius had the softest voice, but it was indeed the most mature and stable one. Lin Yuan had rarely seen Genius so excited.
"Genius, from now on, you and the Enlightenment Cicada will become the closest partners because of the contract. The Enlightenment Cicada is a new addition to our family. In the future, you have to take care of it in the Spirit Lock spatial zone."
Lin Yuan let Genius and the Enlightenment Cicada return to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Genius had to get used to his sudden increase in comprehension ability, and the Enlightenment Cicada had to consolidate its realm.
After Genius contracted with the Enlightenment Cicada through Contract Symbiosis, its growth speed had increased greatly from its original foundation. It wouldn't be long before it could advance to Myth Breed and successfully increase its strength.
After another half a month, Endless Summer finally finished absorbing the tree cores and successfully reached the Holy Spirit level. Endless Summer's Holy Spirit bloodline did not transform as she wished, but she obtained a very special divine kingdom ability.
Cl.u.s.tering Heart Aperture activated the target's life potential. Without opening an additional heart aperture, when activating the target's life potential, it could allow the target to grow many times faster. Without sufficient energy supply, excessively increasing the target's growth speed would cause damage to the target's roots (only effective against plant-type feys).
The divine kingdom ability that Endless Summer had obtained after reaching the Holy Spirit level was linked to the abilities and exclusive skills related to the heart aperture that Endless Summer had obtained previously.
Endless Summer had opened more than 1,000 heart apertures, which could increase the growth speed of plant-type feys a thousand times faster. Moreover, it was not just limited to one at a time. Instead, it could increase the growth speed of plant-type feys in an area.
Many arrangements in Sky City required the growth of plant lifeforms. For example, the Thriving Summer Rising Cloud that Summer planted around the Lonely River required a period of growth.
With Cl.u.s.tering Heart Aperture, Endless Summer was able to help Summer upgrade the Thriving Summer Rising Clouds and allowed her to completely protect North of the Lonely River as soon as possible and make it a true top secret place.
Compared to offensive divine kingdom abilities, Endless Summer preferred functional divine kingdom abilities. Now, Endless Summer had obtained the functional divine kingdom ability as she wished.
Although this divine kingdom ability could not improve her combat abilities, it was very useful in Sky City.
Endless Summer said softly, "Young Master, I've absorbed a portion of the tree core's energy and fed it to my Barren River Orchid Bud. The Barren River Orchid Bud has also reached 12 stars!"
