Chapter 979: Chapter 979
Yang glanced at Yu Ziqing, and with a thought, the chains on his body rapidly retracted, transforming into stripes that resembled tiger patterns, covering his entire body. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
He stood upright, the evil qi retracted, transforming into a human form, clad in a black robe, face filled with evil qi.
However, his gaze remained calm, possessing the tranquility of a well-learned scholar who has penetrated the truth.
Yu Ziqing let out a long breath, it seems his brain wasn't damaged...
"Don't look, my brain is fine."
Yang glanced at the recovering horizon and said solemnly.
"While the power here hasn't dissipated, we should hurry and leave. We'll talk once we're back."
The two dove into the sea, using the abyss as a path, moving extremely quickly. In merely two hours, Yu Ziqing had reached the health club, even borrowing the excuse of a visit from a Great Cultivator seeking detoxification, and managed to meet someone.
Once everything settled, Yu Ziqing took Yang back to Jinlan Mountain.
Shortly after returning, he received news to go check on Juice first.
Yu Ziqing was startled and hurried to the southwest corner, noticing Juice was wilting and a few leaves had fallen. He quickly inspected it carefully.
After examining, the Snake Willow beside extended its neck, hissing.
Yu Ziqing turned his head, and the Snake Willow hastily divided into a few thin snakes, drawing a few scrawled words on the ground with their heads.
Yu Ziqing checked again, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.
Juice, at least as immortal herbs, shouldn't be harmed by over-fertilization. Looking at those fallen leaves, they faintly exuded a jade-like quality.
He picked them up and explored them, finding some peculiar strength within.
These could be used as materials.
Perhaps those were the parts Juice couldn't digest, incorporated into the leaves and shed.
Yu Ziqing thought about it and buried those leaves around Juice's roots.
Although this method is available, Yu Ziqing didn't really want to use it, as it might harm the roots.
It's better to leave it and let Juice digest it slowly over time.
After the inspection was complete, Yu Ziqing earnestly advised.
"This time, I didn't consider it well, the target was indeed too large.
In the future, you must remember to act within your means. Don't let this happen again.
I know you have some awareness, but you are not like ordinary people. Damage to the roots is very difficult to recover from."
Yu Ziqing nagged a bit, feeling that Juice was already doing its utmost to help.
Assisting normally is enough; methods that cause self-harm should be avoided.
Once confirming Juice was alright, Yu Ziqing fed the other magic plants before finally turning to leave.
After Yu Ziqing left, the bunch of thin snakes hanging from the Snake Willow hissed, their meaning unclear.
The other magic plants nodded repeatedly, perhaps too busy to eat, or genuinely agreeing with the Snake Willow.
Upon returning, Yu Ziqing finally had time to closely observe Yang.
Yang had been in his alien species form for a long time, even transforming into a dragon body, yet couldn't transform into a human form.
Now, in his third form as a fierce beast, he could surprisingly take on a human form.
"Stop marveling, I could actually transform into a human form before, just didn't want to.
Now it's just an exterior; there's no true form.
Even as a fierce beast, it's just an exterior."
Yang's movements were awkward, clearly not used to it.
"Let's talk seriously." Yu Ziqing was somewhat expectant.
"There's actually nothing much to say. Ever since the beginning, my consciousness was sinking, devoid of self or perception.
Everything followed instinct; it evolved naturally.
As I mentioned, I relied on you. This time it truly depended on you.
I did nothing, and when my consciousness returned, everything was already successful.
In my mind, there are vaguely some impressions, and now I can see the path ahead.
Years ago, I never imagined I could come out, let alone how far I'd go.
Now, the path ahead is even longer than it was back then."
Yang spoke, extending a hand, the purest evil qi swirling in his palm.
This was neither yin evil energy nor fierce evil qi, nor any other clear classification.
It was simply pure evil qi, without any bias.
As the evil qi swirled, a strong curse qi emerged, forming into chains.
"True Phoenix and True Qilin both bear curses, which is unsurprising.
But I hadn't expected that using the True Dragon Curse as a base would also attract the True Phoenix Curse and the True Qilin Curse.
Now with the Three True Curses upon me, much more useful than anticipated."
"There was someone assisting at the time." Yu Ziqing explained the situation back then.
Yang came to an understanding.
"No wonder, it seems that among the Four True, only the Auspicious Beast didn't leave behind any power.
No, your rosy clouds, though it's unknown if it's similar to the Auspicious Beast.
Nonetheless, based on fragmented records, they do have similarities.
So, it actually turned out to be assistance from the Four True."
Yu Ziqing's face darkened.
Yang laughed heartily and then changed the subject.
"Do you recall the extinct Black Tapir?"
Yu Ziqing's expression froze, pondering thoughtfully.
With the extinction of the Black Tapir, the Yin Devil lost its natural enemy and began to expand recklessly. At night, it would plant seeds in the city without restraint.
If one of the Four True, the Auspicious Beast, had abilities similar to rosy clouds,
then the ancient adversary of the Auspicious Beast would likely be the Earth Devil Venerate.
The Earth Devil has only the Earth Devil Venerate, who could harness the power of the Three Calamities and was the sole master of that power.
If the Auspicious Beast could transform tribulations into good omens, then naturally, it would be the Earth Devil Venerate's natural enemy, for sure leading to an undying feud.
