"It is deem that this flower are hard to remove. Can you remove it?" Cole asked Celia expectantly.

Celia's playful face turn serious, "I can try." she answered as a purple worm appear in her hand and once again shot out like a bullet and vanish into the Green Wolf's head.

[Parasitic Worm Mist]!

Cole watched what Celia did seriously and saw the beast's stern expression distorted to pain immediately the moment Celia's parasitic medium enter the Green Wolf's head.

Five seconds later, the Green Wolf's expression turn back to normal and the flower on his head, which is deemed to be hard to removed, started to wilt visible to the naked eye until it turn to dust and got blown by the air.

The parasite [Controlling Flower] was actually removed!

"We need to leave this spot!" Celia exclaimed loudly to Cole and as if on cue, different beast roars rang out throughout the forest.

Celia hold the Green Wolf on the back of his head and fly fast faster than a bird.

Cole, feeling the urgency from Celia through their [Soul Link], run after her. Unfortunately, despite him having a great affinity with Space, he was still inferior compare to Celia when it comes with their speed when flying.

Dragons truly live out their title of King of Sky.

So, when Celia was leaving him behind and will vanish from his sight, he used [Teleportation] to catch up.

They travel fast for a whole two minutes before Celia stopped.

The moment the Green Wolf touched the ground, it wobble for a second before it collapsed and passed out. However, despite being unconscious, the body of the beast continue to shake.

The poor creature was truly shaken. As a creature of a land, just floating up in the air was enough to give it a fright, plus Celia's flying speed, the creature's head can't take it anymore and passed out. Fortunately, Green Wolf pass out or the poor creature will retch.

"What happen?" Cole asked the moment they stopped.

"After we attached our parasite to our victim, we can feel everything they do and can read their thoughts. It was through our parasite we can do all of that. If we feel our host die first before our parasite, then it is considered normal as most parasite will immediately follow if their host die. But if our parasite is killed before the host, then it is a threat. I'm pretty sure the main body of those flower parasites was quite threatened by now." She paused. "If we got spotted in that place, creatures with flower in their head will attack us en masse. I'm not afraid of them but it is a great inconvenience with our mission."

Cole nodded his head as he understand Celia said. He shifted his eyes to sleeping but trembling Green Wolf, "Why did you bring it along?"

Celia shrugged, "I'm a Divine Dragon but I don't have any servant. This Green Wolf will be my servant from now on." She paused as she contemplates for a second, "Besides, having a beast on my side is a great way for me to forge an identity as a human. With him, I can be a beast tamer cultivator just like you."

"That's great Celia! If you have that kind of identity, I can bring you along with me everywhere in Five Element Sect!" He exclaimed happily. "I'll ask Master Timber to give you an identity of disciple in Five Element Sect." He added.

"Do that so your league can finally have its second member."

"Hey!" Cole can't help but exclaimed as he got offended a little bit. But sadly, he can't refuted it.

Although his [Beast-Tamer League] have an quite of reputation in the Five Element Sect due to the Heavenly Tribulation, it was still not enough to attract some members. Maybe the very first reason they don't want to join was because they currently have a irreconcilable hatred with Beast Taming League which mostly compose of beast tamers as their members. They currently hate the class. Plus it's reputation as untalented path which lead to his league's current pitiful status.

His [Beast-Tamer League] was like a meat shop in a city full of vegetarians.

Cole shifted his sight to still trembling Green Wolf. He stirred his soul and release spiritual energy and envelope the beast whole. He checked the beast body and saw nothing wrong and injury. It was just a spiritual shock due to its first time travelling on air and fast speed which leads to the beast current status.

As an still an instinctual Wild Beast who was born and live in the land throughout his life, floating in the air gave the beast the scare of his life.

Cole shake his head as he feel pitiful for the innocent beast. Fortunately, he have a way to help the beast.

He chanted, "Summon, Bell!"

A summoning formation appear after and Bell, the Flower Bell Fairy, was summoned.

"Help me soothe this beast's mind, use [Multi-Bell]." He instructed Bell after she came out.

Bell nodded her small head and answered through their [Soul Link], "Allright."

Seconds later, a small bell with a size of a cow bell appear from the void and produce a soothing, healing sound.

The skill didn't show an immediate result after it was casted but ten minutes later, the Green Wolf's trembling body started to reduce.

"I think we should call this day a day. We'll just continue our exploration tomorrow. The parasites main body received a threat today. If I'm not mistaken, it will attack anyone foreign on this forest to remove the threat. Let it calm down first before we continue."

Cole nodded his head in agreement, "Let's do that then." He then open [Gate] and use his [Unseen Hands Technique] and carry the Green Wolf beast inside the [Inner World]. After they arrived inside, he put the beast in the ground and Bell continue her skill.

He then find a spot next from Messiah Tree and decided to cultivate [Myriads Beast Soul-Branch Technique] today.

Celia also find a spot of her own and cultivate too.

Early in the next morning, a trace of smile appear on Cole's solemn face. Inside his Sea of Consciousness, his soul who had a shape of a tree finally sprouted its tenth branch.

This tenth branch was small and weak at first but seconds later, his soul tree churned and it started to absorb the soul energy in his [Soul Sea] and nourished the new branch until it stabilized. The whole process lasted for fifteen minutes before it stopped.

Cole exhale a breath with a tinge of black. After his session of cultivation, he managed to flush impurities from his body.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, his soul tree still look like the same as before except its new, tenth branch. However, his [Soul Sea] which size almost reached like of lake now looks like it was once again a pond. The soul energy the [Soul Sea] contain acts like a fertilizer his soul tree to stabilize the tenth branch. However, although the [Soul Sea] shrunken its size to the size like of indoor pond, it sustain all the soul energy the tenth branch needed to stabilize which is a very good news for Cole.

If he follow this principle, he could continue to create more soul branch if he wanted to if his [Soul Sea] have enough soul energy. Before, after he splitted his soul to create another branch, he have stop creating more as he have to stabilize first the branch he created. If not, it will lead to many bad consequences like becoming a crazy person.

Unfortunately, after this cultivation session, the available soul energy on his [Soul Sea] was not enough to form the next branch. Although he could still follow his way before and form the next branch, he still didn't continue as he don't want to see his [Soul Sea] all dried up. He'll just wait for his [Soul Sea] to accumulate more soul energy before he form his next branch.

Cole finally open his eyes some moments later. What greet his sight was Celia combing her white hair with occasional touch of purple using his hands. Next to her was the sitting and healthy Green Wolf who was currently looking at Messiah Tree full of veneration.

"Your awake." Celia spoke after she feel Cole's gaze on her.

Cole nodded his head, "Hmm." He then shifted his sight to the Green Wolf who didn't even spare him a glance and just continue on staring at Messiah Tree without blinking. It was as if the beast was afraid that the moment it close its eyes, the tree will vanish.

Cole shakes his head. It seems that the Messiah Tree was truly something holy for whole race of beast. Even the Green Wolf Wild Beast who was still an instinctual creature knew how magical it is.

"I'm glad that it recover quickly." He said while still looking at the beast who seems to forgot its traumatic experience yesterday.

"Well, Greeny was just a Second-Level Tier-3 Wild Beast while Bell was a First-Level Tier-3 Elemental-Spirit. Their level gap was not wide which makes the [Multi-Bell]'s soul healing very effective. Just few hours is enough for him to recover. The only problem should be his mental trauma but he seems allright now." She said while she look at Greeny, which Cole guess the name Celia give to her servant, who still focus on staring at the tree.

"I forgot to add yesterday; the [Controlling Seed] uses the victims soul energy to grow. In this early, seed state, it was easy to cure the parasite. When the [Controlling Seed] grow and turn into [Controlling Flower], it will start to take root to the victims soul. The more it mature growing on someone's head, the greater its hold to host's soul and the harder for it to be removed." She paused. "Although I managed to remove the flower from his head, the parasitic medium still managed to take root quite deeply inside his soul which make him receive a soul damage yesterday. He was allright after the parasites removal but the soul damage plus the flying experience actually make it crumble."

Cole smile after Celia explain what happen to Greeny yesterday. "It's good that he's allright now." He commented.

Cole can't help but nodded his head in satisfaction after he heard Celia's narration about Greeny's state yesterday. Although she said that the Green Wolf was her servant from now on, she still treat it better, not like some lowly slave. Just saying her indirect worries was enough evidence that she cared for the beast.

"Well then, let's continue our mission we left yesterday." He said while he silently chanted [Gate] and open a portal from their last position.

Celia nodded her head and look at the beast beside her, "C'mon Greeny, we have work to do." But the beast didn't move or even react and still continue to stare at the Messiah Tree. Celia rolled her eyes outside while she stirred the worm mist inside the beast's soul and forcefully instructed the unresponsive beast. Greeny finally looked at Celia with pained expression and slowly walks towards the [Gate]. Before it leave the [Inner World], he gave the Messiah Tree a one last, longing glance before he finally hop into the portal. Celia comes after Greeny and then Cole.

After they arrived outside, Cole close the [Gate].

"Don't worry, after our work, you'll be back inside and you can return staring at that tree no matter how long you like." She consoled Greeny who looked defeated.

Greeny didn't show any reaction to Celia's words as if it was throwing a tantrum. But seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and look at their front vigilantly.

Noticing Greeny's strange reaction, Celia and Cole also look at the direction with their guard rised up.
