When Jìang XiángShèn saw the description, his cold face couldn't help bursting out into laughter when he thought of what would happen once Dì Xié Liàng absorbed the plant's aura. He could just imagine Dì Xié Liàng's face when he find's himself being surrounded and loved by the Fae kind, sweetly being called the Flower Queen.

It was so amusing to Jìang XiángShèn that he hunched over with one hand on his stomach, the other beating his leg and him laughing with tears in his eyes, completely unaware of the danger he's in.

The Zǐhuā Spiritual Plant is like all plants, beasts or creatures that absorbs enough vitality. Their aura becomes stronger and stronger, and eventually this strengthened aura forms energy that awakens their spiritual consciousness. This is like the birth of a newborn Sapien. Their ability to think, understand and process information is low, but they have awareness from their consciousness. They follow the most primitive instructions coded in their DNA, and thus, they continue to live and grow.

Plants however, just like beasts and creatures of the Jīnghuà Chénshì Continent, are more aware the Sapien babies in that, they already know how to cultivate. The more they cultivate, the faster they awaken until they reach the point of spirituality. This is where they now have the gained the ability to use their energy for small scale attacks or defense.

But once they reach the stage of enlightenment, they develop the ability to branch off their energy into different categories of attack, defend, heal or manipulate, just like Sapiens, and they become more dangerous.

But Jìang XiángShèn wasn't thinking of that. He was too busy laughing to even recall the basics he had set for his novel world (that he had claimed to be similar to this transmigrated to world), to even have though of this. And by the time this small but very important knowledge would have flown through his head, it would be too late.

***Meanwhile---

*Outside the Border of The Lost Forest**

A figure flew rapidly though the skies, cutting through the dark and mysterious darkness spreading through, creating a brief momentary flash of light, highlighting the fact that their was sunlight behind the dark and ominous clouds seeming to want to engulf the entire plane.

The figure swooped down, touched the ground with it's feet and stopping just at the very edge of the Huánghòu City landmark, and at the marking of The Lost Forest lands.

The figure, which in turn was a person, was clad in white garments that seem to flow like soft, fluffy clouds. With the flowing water of cyan shaped patterns at the hems, sleeves and center. Shoes of white and cyan cotton and a beautiful and luminous jade piece holding his hair together. The person was like a beacon of light in a rather gloomy and dark world, bringing a feeling of good conquering evil.

Except if one was to see his face, they would be frightened by the wicked and maniacal look in his eyes. A wide grin filling his face. As if what he's facing isn't the most oppressive darkness that's filling the land, but something amusing that he finds very entertaining.

This person looked up at the swirling black mist of dark energy and grinned even wider.

"This looks so interesting, kekeke".

**In Fù Jìng Dynasty Light Territory (Human) - Fù Jìng Empire**

*Inside the Emperor's Palace - Throne Room*

"Report"

"Yes your Majesty! Number 12 is conjected to have arrived at Huánghòu City at this moment, but Master Ren, the Head of the branch temple in Huánghòu City has sent a message that number 12 have yet to appear at the temple"

"I see", responded the emperor, his deep emotionless voice reverberating in the huge throne room. "What do you make of this, Head Magician Shoù?".

*whispers filling the room*

"Its the Head Magician"

"Its Head Magician Shoù"

"He's the one who trained all 12 Apostles"

"No way, really?"

"I also heard he's the overseer for The Academy of Light"

"He's also very powerful"

*whispers quiet down*

"The servant has seen his Majesty", humbled the magician, half bowing to signify his respect and servitude. The emperor nodded in acknowledgement, and the magician responded,

"This is most likely number 12 being overexcited and neglected to inform the branch temple. It's highly possible that he has ventured into the forest alone, which only means he has met a worthy adversary that has gotten him to disregard life or death, your majesty", Head Magician Shoù responded, still half bowed to the emperor, an evil glint flashing through his eyes.

"Hmm.

Them I trust number 12 to be able to handle this by himself", the emperor commented.

Head Magician Shoù stood up straight, his body flowing with pride, and his eyes flashing with undisguised ambition. "Certainly your majesty. After all, he is Chaos.

I am only concerned on how this incident might look if he goes out of control and accidentally destroy that city", Head Magician Shoù voiced his 'concern'.

"That is of no concern. it is only a small town, not even considered a city", said the emperor, his voice devoid of emotion.

"That is true Your Majesty, however, that city was founded by the Empress so if we do nothing..."

"The Empress is it? Very well, Summon the King's Knight's", commanded the emperor to the head of his royal guards.

At the mention of the The King's Knights', the throne room was once again filled with whispers and gasps of surprise and awe.

The King's Knights' are a special group of non-human cultivators that are able to bring out the power of spirit weapons and/or magical artifacts. They are a powerful group cultivated in secret and only follows the emperor's orders. Humans that are not enlightened, or are unable to manifest their aura into energy, strive to be one of the King's Knights.

In the blink of an eye, a of metal clad group of individuals were seen kneeling down below the emperor's throne. They're armor the colors of the dynasty - red and yellow, with their helmets a being a fully dark red. They knelt down without making a single sound, and the room was once again filled with whispers and gasps of awe and admiration.

"Go to Huánghòu City, and report on the happenings there", the emperor commanded.

"Order received, Your Majesty!", the knights' shouted in sync. And as quick as they appeared, they disappeared.

"Your Majesty is wise and just as always", Head Magician Shoù commented.

The emperor nodded satisfactorily, and gave Head Magician Shoù the approval to leave.

"Thank you Your Majesty", Head Magician Shoù responded, turning around and leaving the throne room, walking in the hall.

But far from where anyone could see, a satisfied smirk rose on the magicians face. His angelic white robes fluttered with a sinister aura, his eyes curved with ambition and menace.

He stopped and stared outside a window, the slight glow of the setting sun adding an baleful air around him. He chuckled out loud, seeming to be satisfied with something.

"A fool really", a low sentence dispersed in the air, unknown to who was saying it, or who it was meant for, as the Head Magician who was previously staring into the sunset, had mysteriously disappeared.
