Chapter 905: Chapter 903 Tianyang Legend

Passing through several corridors and walking for about a kilometer, Tang San was presented with two giant stone doors.

These doors were each five meters tall, the one on the left was carved with lifelike representations of the Sunflower Spirit Clan, displaying nine large sunflowers. The door on the right was carved with a solitary, majestic sun high above.

The Sunflower Essence King murmured, “Every Emperor has their own private residence within the Council Mountain. Although most Emperors live in their palaces on Holy Mountain, they occasionally stay here.”

“Is that so, thank you.” The other party was clearly trying to leave a good impression, and Tang San responded courteously.

Undoubtedly, behind these grand stone doors lay the residence of the Tianyang Spirit King in the Ancestral Court.

The illustrious reputation of this Four-Heaven King is a well-recited legend throughout Demon Monster Land.

According to the legend, the Tianyang Spirit King was a defective piece at birth. Yes, it can explicitly be described as defective.

The Plant-class Sprite Clan is dedicated to cultivating stronger offspring through various special methods such as hybridization and cross-pollination, attempting strong alliances to enhance bloodline intensity.

Most of the Plant-class Sprite Clans do the same. The Blue Gold Tree Clan is an exception due to the presence of the Tree Ancestor. With its strong bloodline, there is no need for crossbreeding, and the exclusivity of the Tree Ancestor’s bloodline is so intense that maintaining the purity of the life source is unavoidable.

The Tianyang Spirit King was an “innovative breed” cultivated by the Sunflower Spirit Clan, but his birth was a cultivation failure.

When the Tianyang Spirit King was born, he not only lacked a powerful bloodline but was significantly weaker than a normal member of the Sunflower Spirit Clan and even faced the possibility of premature death.

Newly born members of the Sprite Clans lack intelligence and require a long time to nurture. When their life force reaches a certain level, they then become sentient.

Since the Tianyang Spirit King was already flawed, he was placed among the Sunflower Spirit Clan’s ancestral lands, receiving standard cultivation. However, due to his inherent deficiencies, he could only stay on the periphery, unable to fully bask in the glorious sunlight.

Days passed by. Generations of Sunflower Essence sprouted. With the inherent strength of the Sunflower Spirit Clan, it usually takes about ten years for the normal clansmen to become sentient. Once they attain intelligence, they leave the ancestral lands to cultivate independently, enhancing themselves by activating their bloodline. Once sentient, innate members of the Sunflower Spirit Clan start with a Sixth Stage Cultivation base. This aspect differs from the Monster race.

At birth, top-tier Monsters achieve Seventh or Eighth Stage, and even the newly born from Dragon and Phoenix clans might attain Ninth Stage. However, for the Sprite Clans, the limit at the point of sentience is almost invariably the Sixth Stage. But in terms of growth in later stages, the Sprite Clans progress faster.

At that time, because Tianyang Spirit King was defective, he didn’t become sentient for twenty years. The caretaker clansmen eventually gave up on him. Since he was already marginalized, no one tended to him, leaving him to grow slowly on his own.

The criterion for a Sunflower Spirit to become sentient is to produce nine Sunflowers, thereafter gaining divine consciousness.

However, the Tianyang Spirit King consistently failed to produce even a second Sunflower, remaining a solitary flower. As time passed, he even became a part of the scenery in the Sunflower Spirit Clan’s ancestral lands. With no additional Sunflowers sprouting, the Sunflower Spirit Clan deemed it impossible for him to become sentient. Yet, that lone Sunflower continued to grow larger with the passing years, becoming bigger and bigger.

After a hundred years had passed. The Tianyang Spirit King continued to grow in the corner, but its Sunflower had become more than ten times larger than a normal Sunflower and was continuously breathing in the solar essence.

Until the generation’s Sunflower Essence King during a routine inspection of the Ancestral Court, accidentally discovered such a peculiar existence and paid attention to it. Approaching it, he prepared to personally feel the energy within this mutated giant flower.

However, before he could even touch it, this golden, giant flower suddenly burst forth with a radiant glow as intense as the sun. The King was instantly devoured.

Yes, the Sunflower Essence King of that generation was directly devoured.

Why is it said that before Tang San’s imperial slaughtering, it had been thousands of years since an emperor had perished? Because the last fall of an emperor occurred about two thousand years ago within the Sunflower Spirit Clan.

At that time, the Sunfire Emperor was not the strongest amongst the Spirit Monster emperors but was indeed among the top ranks. Who could have expected that such an emperor would suddenly become nourishment for another?

The divine consciousness of the Tianyang Spirit King was also born at that moment. Even the king itself didn’t understand why it devoured the Sunfire Emperor. Its devouring was extremely thorough, even the divine consciousness of the Sunfire Emperor was completely absorbed, and the throne directly manifested. Thus, it became the only emperor who did not go through the usual process to become an emperor but became one through devouring.

The death of the Sunfire Emperor instantly caused a storm of blood and savagery over the ancestral land of the Sunflower Spirit Clan, leaving everyone baffled. But in the next moment, a dazzling radiance shot up into the sky, dispelling the blood and savagery and transforming into a big sun that lit up heaven and earth in the mid-air.

The Tianyang Spirit King was born!

At its birth, it possessed high intelligence and directly absorbed the divine consciousness of the former Sunfire Emperor, combined with what it had heard, seen, and perceived during the hundred years in the ancestral land. This formed its own wisdom. The strongest monarch of the Rihchen Empire was born in such a legendary way.

A hundred years is a long time for any race, but as for the time to become a king, it wasn’t that long. Moreover, it was at the very moment of becoming a king that its divine consciousness was born! It thus became a perpetual legend.

The cultivation method initially used by the Tianyang Spirit King also became taboo for the Sunflower Spirit Clan, forever sealed away. After all, whether emperors or other mighty beings, none would wish to be devoured! The Tianyang Spirit King is also extremely secretive about it, and how it was done continues to remain a mystery.

What Tang San is about to face now, is such a being from legend. In his heart, aside from caution, there is even greater curiosity. In Tang San’s memory, although the Tianyang Spirit King is the strongest and true ruler of the whole Rihchen Empire, he actually rarely gets involved in the daily affairs of the Rihchen Empire, nor is there any contest with the Tianyu Empire.

Such a powerful figure, almost Buddhist in his approach, what could he want by meeting with me this time?

The giant stone door slowly opened, the Sun Flower Essence King stood at the door making an inviting gesture to Tang San, yet he did not intend to enter.

Tang San stepped forward, walking into a spacious hall.

This was a grand hall ten meters high, covering an area of over five hundred square meters, appearing very spacious. Even the surrounding walls had windows that let in outside light. But this place was clearly within a mountain, where could the daylight come from? Upon sensing, Tang San discovered, each window was a space gate, with the bright daylight being transmitted through space, truly a peculiar and extravagant behavior!

On the right side of the spacious hall, there was an exquisite wooden desk, and the wall on this side was slowly filled with bookshelves, displaying all kinds of books. On the other side, there were two sets of luxurious sofas, all embroidered with the pattern of Sunflowers, matched against a white leather backdrop.

Behind that desk, sat a person, who at least on the surface, didn’t seem much different from humans.
