Chapter 959 213: Opening the Origin Treasure Chest
Lin Rui walked with Wutong to the Life Ancient Tree within the territory, letting her stand on the swing hanging from its branches.
The Life Ancient Tree, once strengthened by Lin Rui, had long grown over fifty meters tall, its lush branches and leaves like a canopy. And this Life Fruit Tree wasn't dark green; its trunk was emerald, but its leaves were crabapple red, resembling maple, while its fruit was golden.
From afar, it looked like a tree of crabapple blooms mixed with willow greens, only even more beautiful and more luxuriant. The brilliant blossoms, the grass tender and green, and the spring staying affluent under the bright sun. The Life Ancient Tree scattered sparkling light across the vibrant territory, the fragrant leaves falling like the scent of flowers.
To say something counterintuitive, in ancient times, women playing on swings weren't actually seated.
Especially for someone like Wutong, a princess in palace attire with a long dress trailing the ground and sleeves floating elegantly, they would stand on the swing for the sake of image and charm.
The swing gently swayed, and her long hair fluttered, ribbons floating, encompassing a serene yet tender Eastern aesthetic.
Lin Rui pushed the swing from the side, then laughed and said, "There are many fun places in the territory, and I'll take you to visit them all in the future."
Though Wutong was aloof, she wasn't distant from others.
Eastern couples don't believe in overly sweet love but rather in harmonious marriage where they support each other.
So Wutong smiled softly and gave a gentle "mmm."
After she swung for a while, feeling refreshed and calm, Lin Rui led her to the lush grass-covered slope beneath the tree, taking out four gifts.
"Look what these are? Taking you to play scratchies!"
Wutong's beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment before looking down at the four Treasure Chests placed on the grass between them.
"Origin Treasure Chest?"
Lin Rui nodded with a smile, saying: "That's right. Let's scratch them together; maybe we'll unearth extraordinary treasures. Our future, isn't that set?"
Although Wutong's abilities were quite terrifying, her tier was relatively low.
[Blood and Flesh Mountains and Rivers: Mythical Level (Black and Red Sealed): The most sinister and poisonous seal deployed using the flesh and mountains of a world as a medium. Only with the warriors' blood and flesh can light reveal the sun and moon. Wutong cannot use any methods to lift the seal ahead of time, only accumulating experience through war. This is destined to be a tough choice: let Wutong remain active on the battlefield or be bounded by the seal? It concerns not just the trajectory of an individual but determines the fate of the entire world. The blasphemer shall face the most venomous curses of the Divine Spirit.]
This black and red seal like sinister stained blood was always alarming to Lin Rui, feeling as if his heart was fiercely gripped, leaving him panic-stricken and breathless.
It was precisely because of this trait that Wutong's upgrading was very slow.
She is now only at Tier Four, Level 23.
She couldn't elevate her level through any other means.
This meant neither the Semi-Divine Artifact: Radiant Hourglass nor the Territorial Strategic Treasure: Lucky Coin: Sand Washing had any effect on her.
She could only rely on the Commander's troops slowly wearing away the seal on her.
Therefore, during the Plane War, her power enhancement was relatively limited compared to others who advanced rapidly.
Because the scale of other troops guarding the Golden Pansy Domain was rather limited.
And battles in the Golden Pansy Domain weren't as grand as those outside.
The guarded troops only operated within the territory range, so their main battle targets focused on the Green Tide from the green skin plantations in Warboss.
This allowed them to gain a small amount of experience to unlock the seal on Wutong.
To say it's relative is because the absolute power level of Wutong was incredibly terrifying.
Last time, Lin Rui saw her last trait was still [Moonlight of Jade: Holy Spirit Level Trait (Glassy): Seeing the Jade Starlight, bridging the moon like a rainbow. Thus it is an auspicious sign, responding to my Saint Monarch. Every day a certain number of Holy Spirits at the same tier will be summoned by the Saint Monarch. Number summoned equals Charm Value* Tier Value. Minimum talent level summoned is Heroic Spirit Level, and the highest is Heroic Spirit Level + current tier. Duration lasts for 2 hours* tier level (Note: maximum tier cannot exceed Divine Spirit Level).]
[Glowing Moonlight: Holy Spirit Level Trait (Glassy): Under the glowing moon, brilliance overflows, Empress descends, all being bows. This is the decree of destiny, Power of the Holy Spirit, protecting my empire, auspicious for tens of thousands of years. Within the glowing moonlight, Empress can forcibly enter the opponent's dreams for combat, where the Empress will strip away all opponent's traits, alter their attributes, and seal opponent's cognition to a certain tier. Death in the dream will synchronize with death in reality (Note: when Empress enters the glowing moonlight state, her body outside the dream will lose Holy Spirit Level protection).]
[Void Realm: Holy Spirit Level Trait (Glassy): Stepping into the Void Realm, the mind shifts with the illusion, only by clearing the mind and seeing one's nature can one discern between illusion and reality. Empress forcibly alters world laws, battlefield area covered by Void Sword Energy, all allied soldiers have Overlord State, and all enemy soldiers under attack suffer fourfold imagined assault while losing all evasion/resistance/block/reduction defense effects.]
The newly added two traits were newly unlocked seals after Wutong upgraded.
The decrees she previously issued were completely due to [Mouth Containing Celestial Decree].
[Mouth Containing Celestial Decree: Holy Spirit Level Trait (Glassy): Mouth containing celestial decree, words and laws follow. Permit execution of authority, holding the Marquis. Empress's words will dominate all cognition, laws, time, and even plane basic elements within the domain.]
