The Light Goddess Butterfly's wings spread fully behind her, the blue-gold patterns on their surface complementing the Golden Tree's golden roots. The golden mark on her left arm shone as brightly as the blazing sun.
Her Soul Power was rising at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the bottleneck at level thirty-six had already developed its first crack.
An even deeper transformation was taking place within her bloodline...
Some long-dormant power was being awakened bit by bit by the Golden Tree's light origin. That power was exceedingly faint, yet incomparably ancient.
Mu En's spiritual power lingered longest upon Wang Dong. An indescribably complicated emotion flashed through those aged yet clear eyes.
He had seen this Light Goddess Butterfly, seen those blue-gold wings...

Lin Ciyan's aura.
Not the shallow, superficial traces of him, but a profound influence that had seeped into their bones and merged with the origins of their martial souls.
