CHAPTER 216 EMBRACING THE GLORY

The spirit manipulators from the other squads began whispering among themselves when they saw the

rare treasures in front of them, and they began imagining among themselves what else this place might

hold.

"Is tha- that the coveted Heaven Divine Lotus? That ranks number eight on the Rare Treasure List! It's

a priceless piece of treasure!"

"I heard that the Heaven Divine Lotus is a spiritual treasure, which can move on itself, and it's difficult

to catch one. It remains elusive to the most of the population and we're lucky enough to see it here in

front of us!"

"And there, there lies rich spiritual power... in those seeds. The seeds have the same power of the Dark

Heaven Insect's eggs. They also have shown capabilities to greatly improve a spirit-manipulator's

strength. Yet, these Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds are much superior! The Heaven Divine Lotus only

bears three seeds, all yielded at the same time, every thirty years. And after the lotus has produced the

seeds, it will bury itself, worm its way into ground, and appear in another place after another thirty

years. That's why it is such of rarity and precious value. Finding it is one thing, but seeing it in its full

glory is another."

"Wow! We are going to make a great fortune today! A single piece of seed is worth millions or even

more than the millions we could imagine!"

However, with the priceless Heaven Divine Lotus in front of them, none of the spirit manipulators dared

to take any action at all; they all seemed to wait fervently for something they had been expecting for the

longest time.

The Heaven Divine Lotus was near its end of yielding the seeds, readying itself to spurt out for the spirit

manipulators to see. Only when the lotus stopped glinting could the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds be

taken and harvested by the spirit manipulators. They would not get anything good even if they were to

make a movement right now.

Besides, the squads of those spirit manipulators were tasked with another mission: to capture the

elusive Rainbow Glow Unicorn. Now, they were waiting for not only the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds but

also the apparition of the rare spiritual beast, which they were hoping to see and to catch.

Although a Heaven Divine Lotus Seed was considered a majestic and priceless piece of object, one

dared not to be compared with a rare spiritual beast at all, especially with a Rainbow Glow Unicorn, the

third on the Spiritual Beast List. If the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds were considered priceless, what

more could it be for the Rainbow Glow Unicorn? None of the spirit manipulators could not be attracted

by such a terrific and fantastic spiritual beast. Seeing it could be their final wish as it resounded beauty

and divinity. content rights.

But all the spirit manipulators present on the ground knew all well that it would be impossible for them

to catch the Rainbow Glow Unicorn if they were not to cooperate with each other. They needed to work

together to capture the elusive Rainbow Glow Unicorn first. As for who could get the Unicorn in the

end, that depended on their varying strengths. And working as a unified group to catch this powerful

beast could mean another success for them to take aside from garnering the Heaven Divine Lotus

Seeds.

But, nobody was sure about whether the Rainbow Glow Unicorn had come to the Spiritual Fairyland.

There was this air of uncertainty with the waiting they were doing, and they kept wondering if this would

come into fruition. Since their arrival, none of the spirit manipulators among these squads had ever

seen any single one of those rare spiritual beasts, not even a sight or glance at the chanced Rainbow

Glow Unicorn.

"Hob, what do you think? Will the Rainbow Glow Unicorn we are hoping to catch appear here, later?"

asked one of the spirit manipulators, who was at the eighth grade of the Mortal Stage.

"How should I know that? You think I know the answer to that? Forget about the elusive Rainbow Glow

Unicorn! As long as the Heaven Divine Lotus yields the seeds we have been eyeing for quite some

time now, we will, then, take action. With the priced Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds in our hands, the

Rainbow Glow Unicorn will come to find us sooner or later. Its elusiveness is set to be gone the

moment it feels the seeds' auras around this area." Hob already had a plan in his mind, as if a mental

blueprint flashed before his eyes. When he finally found a Dark Heaven Insect last time, he was fooled

by a man's trick. As a result, he just watched the perfect opportunity to capture a rare spiritual beast

slip away in front of him. He could not make the same mistake anymore. Committing the same mistake

twice meant he learned nothing from what he had experienced in the past.

Tod and other spirit manipulators also arrived there, at that very moment. When they saw the Heaven

Divine Lotus, they had stars in their eyes and their jaws almost fell to the ground, leaving their mouths

wide open. But seeing so many spirit manipulators around them, the excitement quickly faded from

their eyes. Most of the spirit manipulators present were much stronger and had more experience in

field than them. It looked as if they had zero chances of getting the Heaven Divine Lotus.

"Is that a Heaven Divine Lotus?" Tod recognized it as soon as his sight landed on the rare treasure

over the edge of a cliff. He also learned that the seeds the Heaven Divine Lotus yielded could greatly

improve a spirit manipulator's spiritual power. The lotus was indeed rare and priceless. But truth to be

told, he knew well that his squad had no chance to get such a treasure. After all, they were so weak

compared with the others present.

"If we got Rookie in our team, we might have some chances. We should have taken him with us in the

first place!" Regrets filled Tod's voice. Rocky was a strong spirit manipulator at the Earthly Stage. With

his help, they might have a little chance to get a seed.

"Tod, why are none of them making a move?" Archer asked, seeing that all the spirit manipulators

stood still on the spot.

"The seeds haven't come out yet. We are all waiting now," Tod answered.

Time always went slow during waiting. Some of the spirit manipulators stared at the Heaven Divine

Lotus without a blink, for fear that they would miss the timing. While some of them had lost patience

and became absent-minded. There were even some spirit manipulators who already sat down to have

a rest.

All of a sudden, the glinting Heaven Divine Lotus began to dim and flicker. The groups of spirit

manipulators got nervous now, because they knew the Heaven Divine Seeds were about to come out.

After a moment, rich spiritual energy spurted out from the center of the Heaven Divine Lotus. As the

spiritual light flickered, the nine petals of the lotus bloomed and at the center of it were three shining

seeds, in full glory.

Every spirit manipulator glanced at each other. And then, they crazily rushed to the cliff as lunatics,

aiming their eyes at the seeds.

The cliff was ten meters high from where they were, so it was not that easy to climb up. However, it

was not a problem for most of them. The spirit-manipulated beasts of many spirit manipulators present

could fly. In order to obtain the seeds as fast as possible, those spirit manipulators rode their spirit-

manipulated beasts and flew towards the cliff.

While some spirit manipulators had summoned their spiritual martial arts to rush up on the cliff and

charged towards the Heaven Divine Lotus.

In a matter of seconds, most of the spirit manipulators were now heading straight for the lotus.

Yet the two squads of the Crimson Dragon Group still stayed motionless. Although they yearned for the

Heaven Divine Lotus and its seeds as well, they were on another mission—they had to wait for the

appearance of the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. If the Rainbow Glow Unicorn had been attracted to the

Spiritual Fairyland, it would definitely appear at once.

On the other hand, some spirit manipulators were closely around the top of the cliff already. The

moment an intense fight was about to start, a loud bang came out from the near forest suddenly and

the earth trembled.

All the spirit manipulators turned to look at the source of the sound at once. They believed that the

Rainbow Glow Unicorn had arrived.

The two squads of the Crimson Dragon Group got nervous immediately and prepared to catch the

beast at any moment.

However, they were greeted with a centipede-like spirit-manipulated beast. The wild beast seemed to

have lost control and charged towards the cliff angrily. As its tail swept over, many of the spirit

manipulators were thrown away before they reacted to its appearance.

"Is that the Centipede-snake Rookie was fighting against?!" Tod yelled out of shock. He looked around

and didn't see Rocky, so he thought Rocky had been killed by the Centipede-snake after losing the

fight.

It seemed that the Centipede-snake was also attracted by the Heaven Divine Lotus. Seeing all the spirit

manipulators getting in its way, the Centipede-snake stood high and aimed its toxic stings at them

immediately. The spirit manipulators, who were close to the Heaven Divine Lotus, fell down with their

spirit-manipulated beasts and smashed onto the ground.

With a loud bang, the Centipede-snake was hitting against the cliff. Among clouds of sand, it rose up

and went across the cliff, opening its mouth towards the Heaven Divine Lotus. At rendezvous, it was

ready to swallow down the Heaven Divine Lotus with the three seeds.
