2523 Bu Po in a Facedown!
A black stone tablet jutted out from the Pure Land of Bliss. Above the stone tablet was a writhing purple and black ball of flesh that was constantly changing shape, like a ball of slime.

The abyssal world’s treasure had no fire-elemental energy. From it, Lin Yuan could guess what abyss demons would look like without the Abyss Red Lotus.

Lin Yuan created a feather made of Day and Night Spirit Silver and slit his palm. He instructed the Jasmine Lily to heal him, then consumed all the spiritual ingredients that could replenish blood. He had learned from his previous experiences that consuming these ingredients would make contracting a dimensional world’s treasure easier.

He had almost crawled out of Thick Soil City and the Spirit Lock spatial zone. He should be rushing back into the abyssal world, but he decided to rest in the underground palace instead. He would return to the Radiance Federation after he recovered and place the abyssal world’s treasure on the border between the ninth and tenth levels.

…

While Lin Yuan was sleeping, two attendants arrived at Bu Po’s door and knocked.

“Lord Bu, the Spirit Mother requests your presence. Please head there as quickly as possible! Are the two of us allowed to enter?”

A long-haired girl in Bu Po’s room clutched her scar-covered hands together and pursed her lips tightly.

Bu Po was more composed. “Tell the Spirit Mother that I will go see him when I’m done with what I need to do.”

The two attendants that had come to see Bu Po were the Spirit Mother’s personal attendants. When the Spirit Mother was not present, his four attendants carried out his will.

Besides the Spirit Mother, no one else in the Spirit Mother Federation dared to disrespect his personal attendants.

The two attendants wanted to enter Bu Po’s room because they hoped he would show his respect by giving them some gifts.

In the past, the Spirit Mother’s reserve disciples rarely had the opportunity to see the Spirit Mother and usually only interacted with the Spirit Mother’s personal attendants. All of them had shown great reverence toward the Spirit Mother’s personal attendants.

The eyes of the Spirit Mother’s personal attendants darkened after Bu Po slighted them.

Could it be that Bu Po had the audacity to treat them in such a way because he had distinguished himself from the other reserve disciples and truly saw himself as the next Spirit Mother?

As displeased as the two attendants were, they were bound by etiquette and had no choice but to listen to his instruction to return to report to the Spirit Mother.

The young girl looked at Bu Po with worry. Once she was certain that there were no more voices outside the door, she asked, “Little Po, is it really okay for you to send away the Spirit Mother’s two attendants?

“You might be the Spirit Mother’s only successor now, but your power is limited and you rarely have the opportunity to meet with the Spirit Mother. There’s no way you can defeat him!”

Bu Po looked at his sister, and his heart ached. Ever since he was chosen to be the Spirit Mother’s reserve disciple, his sister had not had a good night’s rest because she was so worried about his safety.

He was filled with confidence because he knew of the Astronomical Parliament’s existence. However, his sister was unaware.

His sister spent almost every day worrying that he would lose his life to the Spirit Mother’s nine tests.

Although his sister had become certain he had passed the Spirit Mother’s nine tests and no longer woke up abruptly from her sleep out of fright in the past two months, she was still worried.

Bu Po always saw his sister as a positive person. She was only in such a state because she experienced no warmth from the Spirit Mother Federation. In the Spirit Mother Federation, the saying ‘living a life worth less than a blade of grass’ was not an understatement.

Since Bu Po was going to have a confrontation with the Spirit Mother, he decided to show his cards to his sister first so that she would no longer have to be constantly worried about him.

Bu Po took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and sent a message to Mountain Ridge Source, who had been protecting him, for the first time.

[Bu Po]: Are you still with me? I am going to need your protection soon!

Bu Po received a reply two minutes after he sent the message.

[Mountain Ridge Source]: I am with you now. You can see me if you turn around.

Bu Po turned his head in shock and saw that a gorgeous yellow petal had landed on his shoulder.

Plants were very rare in the Spirit Mother Federation’s desert environment. Beautiful flowers like this were always placed in the Spirit Mother’s hall. No one had a chance to admire them apart from the Spirit Mother.

Bu Po did not use the Thoughts Letter Paper again and asked Mountain Ridge Source, “Is that you?”

Normally, Mountain Ridge Source would not show herself. Bu Po could ask her any questions he had through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

It was clear from his sudden question that he really wanted a reply from her.

Mountain Ridge Source thought about it and realized that Bu Po wanted her to appear in front of his sister to calm her down.

Bu Po was extremely important to Lin Yuan. Otherwise, he would not have sent a Samsara Realm Dictator to protect him.

Thus, Mountain Ridge Source replied to Bu Po and appeared in front of him in her Dictator’s body.

She appeared in her Dictator’s body in order to set Bu Po’s heart at ease. This was a favor she was doing for him.

Additionally, she wanted to ensure that her aura was not leaked.

When Samsara Realm Dictators activated their Dictator’s bodies, they had much stronger control over their own energy.

Sure, here is the text with the grammar and syntax fixed, sentence structure improved, flow enhanced, and extra content removed:

Bu Po and his sister felt as if thousands of wild almond blossoms had bloomed before them. A beautiful, lithe girl dressed in yellow appeared, and they felt as if they were looking at a fairy.

“It’s me,” said Mountain Ridge Source in a cold voice. “The Lord asked me to come and protect you.”
With that, Mountain Ridge Source turned back into an almond blossom petal and hid in Bu Po’s collar.

Bu Po felt his face flush as he thought about the girl who had transformed herself into a flower petal and was now hiding next to his heart.

Bu Po turned to his stunned sister and said seriously, “Sister, you’ve always said that I’ve changed a lot. You said that I’ve changed so much that you don’t even recognize me anymore. Well, the truth is, the change was due to a blessing from a man.”
