Yu Xian had always thought that the arm taken by Zhou Tai Number Three was long gone.
Either it had rotted away after being discarded by Zhou Tai Number Three, or it had been eaten by wild beasts in the desolate mountains.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tai Number Three had actually installed this arm onto his own body. Although Yu Xian didn't understand the logic behind his action, he was now very grateful for what Zhou Tai Number Three had done.
Through Zhou Tai Number Two's body, Yu Xian quickly understood that Final Source Blood could indeed control other creatures. Any creature controlled by the Source Blood was his bloodline.
The bloodline would obey his commands unconditionally.
Under the influence of Final Source Blood, even without his direct control, the bloodline would act for his benefit.
He could directly control seven bloodlines regardless of distance, which corresponded precisely to the seven apertures of the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.
Now, the Final Source Blood from one of his apertures was continuously transmitted through space to Zhou Tai Number Two's severed arm, which belonged to him. Therefore, through this aperture, he could project his will and easily control Zhou Tai Number Two's body.
Fortunately, he had activated Super Brain beforehand, so even multitasking wouldn't cause any delays.
His main body continued to drink blood in the Perfect Creature's factory, while his brain, like operating a remote-controlled car, remotely controlled Zhou Tai Number Two's body and read Zhou Tai Number Two's memories.
“As expected, there were foreign forces involved back then.”
“Ancient Sages Society, an organization solely pursuing power?”
“Each member uses an ancient sage as their codename. The Thirteenth Seat is Abe no Seimei, the Twelfth Seat is Plato, the Eleventh Seat is Van Gogh…”
Yu Xian browsed through Zhou Tai Number Two's memories, feeling a bit confused. Was Abe no Seimei considered a sage?
He should probably be classified as a charlatan.
But never mind.
After all, the Thirteenth Seat is from the Island Nation, so it's not strange to use Abe no Seimei as a codename.
But is there something wrong with the Eleventh Seat? Using the name of a painter with bipolar disorder as a codename, is that also considered a sage?
Unfortunately, Zhou Tai Number Two can only be considered an outer member for now. He has only met these three members of the Ancient Sages Society so far, and he doesn't know who the people above them are.
If Zhou Tai Number Two's mind contained information about all the members of the Ancient Sages Society, Yu Xian would definitely lead the experts from Kirin Headquarters to round them all up in one go.
In this situation, he can only let Zhou Tai Number Two continue to lie low in the Ancient Sages Society, while infiltrating and developing his bloodline, and investigating more information about the Ancient Sages Society.
After reading Zhou Tai Number Two's memories, Yu Xian returned control of the body to Zhou Tai Number Two.
“My great Master, your humble bloodline Number Two is here to pay respects to you. Number Two will serve you wholeheartedly. Your greatness surpasses the radiance of the sun and moon. I wish I could fly to your side immediately, serving you diligently and dedicating myself completely.” As soon as Zhou Tai Number Two regained control of his body, he immediately knelt down excitedly, muttering with a twisted expression.
Yu Xian's main body was drinking blood, but he got goosebumps from Zhou Tai Number Two's flattery. He quickly ordered Zhou Tai Number Two to stop through the Final Source Blood and strictly forbade him from doing it again next time.
“Even if a pervert is influenced by Final Source Blood, he is still a pervert…”
Yu Xian waited for Zhou Tai Number Two to get up, unable to help but inwardly complain. Fortunately, he only controlled one pervert. If there were many, just thinking about it felt terrifying.
Then, under his command, Zhou Tai Number Two walked out of the room and headed towards the laboratory along a familiar path.
Upon entering the laboratory, giant cages appeared before his eyes. These cages held various giant beasts, all of whose brains were controlled by Brain-Eating Neural Worms. Under the manipulation of the Brain-Eating Neural Worms, their bodies were excavating the power hidden within their bloodlines.
“This is… the giant wolf Fenrir from Western mythology?”
Yu Xian looked at the ridiculously large giant wolf in one cage through Zhou Tai Number Two's eyes, thinking to himself.
“Second Brother, what are you doing here?” The giant wolf suddenly looked at Zhou Tai Number Two outside the cage and asked.
Zhou Tai Number Two smiled and said, “Nothing, just came to take a look out of boredom. How much of the giant wolf Fenrir's power has awakened?”
“About three percent. After all, the bloodline power is too weak.” The giant wolf didn't suspect anything and answered directly.
Zhou Tai Number Two nodded, said nothing more, and walked towards another cage, which held a Phoenix of Immortality burning with flames.
“Second Brother, am I beautiful? I feel like I can burn everything to ashes. I really want to burn something.” The Phoenix of Immortality saw Zhou Tai Number Two approaching and immediately spoke.
Zhou Tai Number Two frowned and said, “Third Brother, you'd better be serious. Now is not the time for fooling around. How much of the Phoenix of Immortality's power has awakened?”
“Tch, pretending to be proper. I can do much more than Eighth Brother. The Phoenix of Immortality's power has awakened to ten percent. I can go play with Little brother soon.” The Phoenix of Immortality manipulated the flames around itself with its wings, saying excitedly.
Zhou Tai Number Two said indifferently, “The Little brother you mentioned is the owner of this arm?”
“Of course, that's my trophy. Don't lose it.” Zhou Tai Number Three's huge bird head lowered, looking at Zhou Tai Number Two and said.
Zhou Tai Number Two nodded and said, “Don't worry, I will take good care of your trophy.”
“Go persuade Third Brother. He's about to lose control. He keeps yelling about slaughtering the city. Silver City is so much fun, why slaughter it?” Zhou Tai Number Three nodded in satisfaction, then said to Zhou Tai Number Two.
The Third Brother he mentioned was actually Zhou Tai Number Nine.
Zhou Tai Number Two nodded and continued to walk forward. The other cages also contained various mythological monsters. Although only a portion of the power hidden within their bloodlines had been excavated, many characteristics were already very obvious.
Finally, Zhou Tai Number Two stopped at a super-large cage, which housed an unimaginably huge white snake.
Jörmungandr, the World Serpent!
Through Zhou Tai Number Two's memories, Yu Xian understood the whole story.
The one currently controlling this body is Zhou Tai Number Nine, which is the White Ape that was captured by the Silver City hunting team and sent to the Beast Fighting Arena for performance.
Zhou Tai Number Nine has a tyrannical personality, is self-centered, and has a very strong sense of pride.
He regards his past experience as the greatest humiliation of his life, and only by bathing Silver City in blood can he erase the shame.
“Second Brother, you want to persuade me?” Zhou Tai Number Nine saw Zhou Tai Number Two appear outside his cage and asked in a rough voice.
Zhou Tai Number Two shook his head and said, “No, that's not the case. I just wanted to see your awakening progress.”
“How can I be compared to those mediocre people? I have already awakened thirty-five percent of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent's power!” Zhou Tai Number Nine said proudly.
Thirty-five percent!
He certainly had the right to be proud.
Zhou Tai Number Nine's eyes flashed with cruel light. He then said, “Let me tell you, when I awaken fifty percent of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent's power, I will go to Silver City and wash away the shame I suffered back then. At that time, no one will be able to stop me, not you, and not the Ancient Sages Society!”
“Then I wish you good luck!” Zhou Tai Number Two smiled.
Now that Yu Xian already knew Zhou Tai Number Nine's plan in advance, when he actually comes, Kirin will have one more test subject.
