Chapter 3684 Three Spheres
Isabella found it likable how courageous and fiery Flamerose was, and she couldn't help but smirk, "That's good to hear. An Immortal Emperor Phoenix also has a high regenerative ability, so you would be good to capture another ruby sphere again."
"Yes. I'll try again~" Flamerose's eyes blazed.
"..."
Frostrose watched these two brawn-minded women with some leisure. She smiled behind her veil, watching her twin sister be happy when all this time as Yeyin, she didn't know how to treat her as the false memories said they were born from different mothers when, in fact, they were born from the same mother.
She shook her head and pointed at the distance.
"See that woman over there? She tried to capture a sapphire sphere but ended up crouching as though she was electrocuted. Her eyes narrowed as though she grimaced. I closely looked at the blue cloud that was released after and sensed immortal soul force from it."
"Indeed, she's crouching..." Flamerose nodded, "Ah, she now sat cross-legged to meditate."
"That's likely a soul injury then..."
Isabella derived, "Which leaves the other white sphere an essence sphere that causes immortal essence energy damage."
"Oh, in that case, I saw a man scream out that his essence energy was robbed from him after he attacked a white sphere."
Flamerose provided some information, causing Isabella to blink as she felt like she understood what was going on with the white sphere and the other spheres.
Blood and soul were they possessed, but the essence was always derivative from their blood and soul stemming from the dantian, so essence was only taken away, and their body or soul wasn't harmed by the white sphere.
"So... the ruby spheres are martial spheres, sapphire spheres are soul spheres, and white spheres are essence spheres? Is there any mistake in our findings?"
"I think it fits for the most part." Flamerose shrugged.
"The problem is how to capture one." Frostrose panned her gaze as she looked at the others.
Most of the Candidates were chasing after the pigeon-egg sized spheres, trying to have their own discoveries but none of them managed to capture one. There were three types of sphere but not a single one of one type was captured.
"Then where's the other sized spheres?" Flamerose asked with a frown.
"I don't know. Perhaps they'll appear in due time."
Frostrose shook her head, "We phoenixes are somewhat skilled in self-soul regeneration as well. Our King-Tier nirvanic souls allow us to be healed at a rate significant than the others, so we'll try to capture the soul spheres and share our findings with you."
"Then I'll take care of the martial sphere and essence sphere."
Isabella nodded. She was willing to work with them as they didn't seem interested in winning the Hidden Pagoda. Even if they did win, as long as it was a fair fight, Isabella was willing to relinquish the rewards to them.
Isabella also noticed. She scrambled her memory and tried to remember this woman's name, but she wasn't aware of it, which left her wondering if she was from an ancient power.
"Good lady, what's your name and your affiliation?"
Harmon was the first one to go to her as he was the nearest. He still appeared eerie but forced a smile as he cupped his hands.
"Can't say~"
The woman knew that this person and the others were listening to her, so she couldn't reveal what she did. On the other hand, she inwardly blamed herself for shouting a cry of victory as she finally managed to subdue a soul sphere.
"Well, if you don't talk, then we have no choice but to wring it out of you, don't we?"
Harmon cackled. Girias appeared on the opposite side, and the other Candidates near her also surrounded her.
It made that woman frown, knowing she was caught in a bind. If she didn't reveal her methods, then that would be akin to inviting disaster. After all, dealing with her was better than dealing with spheres that end up robbing their limbs and blood essence, injuring their soul, and dispersing their essence energy.
However, despite being surrounded, she remained calm and raised her leg, placing it below her knee as she cupped her hands into a prayer. Instantly, a light green lotus appeared above her head, brimming with intense undulations even though it was glaringly silent.
"To have my heart disturbed over a mere success, it seems like I'm still inadequate. My name is Hayley, and I am the first inheritor of the Tranquil Lotus Temple. If you want to take me down, then be prepared to at least sacrifice two of the eight of you." "..."
Girias and Harmon narrowed their eyes, recognizing that the Tranquil Lotus Temple was an ancient power that had hidden itself. However, Harmon knew they weren't chased into hiding but chose to retreat into seclusion since the people from the Tranquil Lotus Temple were mostly not bothered about anything in the world other than the pursuit of one's cultivation and self-improvement.
'Tranquil Lotus Temple... Is that affiliated with Tranquil Lotus Lower Realm...?'
Isabella narrowed her eyes.
She knew Davis had met with Tranquil Lotus Lower Realm's Katusha Amaidhi and bullied her into running away. However, she had been a Kingly Monarch, so she couldn't underestimate this Hayley either.
'Then again, if bullying was one way to get what you want, selling debts is also another...'
Isabella smirked.
She had launched herself into the air and landed near them.
"Hold up~"
She raised her hand and extended out her palm, "If any of you dares to attack Hayley, then you will face this Earth Dragon Empress's wrath."
"..."
"..."
Isabella couldn't suddenly help but feel embarrassed over her crude utterance after landing. She inwardly blamed Mingzhi for it and kept a straight face.
