Chapter 903: The Legend of Sunborne
The hallways of the Council Mountain were mostly decorated with reliefs depicting major historical events of the continent, and Tang San observed them with interest.
After passing through several corridors and walking nearly a kilometer, a pair of massive stone doors appeared before Tang San.
The two doors were five meters tall. The left door was intricately carved with the vibrant image of the Scorching Sunflower—a sunflower plant with nine large blooms. The right door depicted a single grand sun, towering high above.
The Scorching Sunflower Nymph King whispered, "Each Emperor has their own private residence within the Council Mountain. Although most of the time they reside in their own palaces, they occasionally stay here."
It was clear the Scorching Sunflower Nymph King was trying to be friendly, so Tang San nodded and responded politely, "I see, thank you."
There was no doubt that behind these doors lay the residence of the Sun-Nurtured Sunborne Nymph Emperor within the Ancestral Court. This Emperor was the subject of many legends across the Daemon Continent.
According to legend, when the Sunborne Nymph Emperor was born, he was considered a defective product. Yes, that was the exact term: "defective product."
Plant-type nymph clans dedicated plenty of effort to breeding stronger offspring. They used various methods like hybridization and cross-pollination, attempting to enhance their bloodlines by combining the strongest traits. Most of these clans followed this practice; the Blue Gold Tree clan was a rare exception. Due to the presence of the Ancestral Tree, their bloodline was already strong enough, and they saw no need to mix it with others. Unlike most other plant bloodlines, the Ancestral Tree's bloodline was exclusive, and maintaining the purity of its life force was paramount.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor was a "new breed" developed by the Scorching Sunflower clan, but at the time of his birth, it appeared as if the experiment had failed. The new Scorching Sunflower was not only severely lacking in terms of bloodline power, but also far weaker physically than a normal Scorching Sunflower, with a high risk of dying prematurely.
