Fuxi had been observing Zen closely the whole ti.
He was curious as to why Zen's pained expression gradually cald down. “Zen, have you sealed off your hearing?” he asked through his spiritual sense.
Zen was still carefully distinguishing the low chanting sounds. When he heard Fuxi's question, he shook his head and said, “No.”
“It seems that you're not in pain anymore…” At that point, Fuxi was even more surprised.
“The howls are gone. The Treacherous Beings you ntioned seem to be chanting sothing now,” said Zen.
Fuxi arched his brows at Zen's words. “What are they chanting about?”
Before they entered the Whining Road, he and the Snake Goddess prepared quite well.
After all, they would die if they were not careful on their way to the Supre Pure Realm.
When they hid in the thatched hut before, they also destroyed their hearing. However, Fuxi brought out a mouse from his spirit beast bag every once in a while, so they knew what was going on outside.
The howls on the Whining Road were very powerful. Fuxi's mice also ca from the Grand Pure Realm, and they were close relatives of the Terror Mice. Although they weren't rare creatures, they were by no ans weak.
However, after the mouse was out for less than nine seconds, its eyes turned bloody red, then its head exploded as it struggled madly.
Generally speaking, the Whining Road had twelve hours of dayti and twenty hours of nightti.
Fuxi released a mouse every two hours to test the situation.
According to his experint, the howls lasted twenty hours until dawn.
It was not until daybreak when the mouse he had released returned unhard, that he and the Snake Goddess dared to restore their hearing.
Based on the mice's reaction, the howls of the Treacherous Beings would last a whole night.
However, Zen just said that the howls had stopped, which contradicted his early conclusion. He didn't believe him at all.
Yet, Zen's reaction told him everything, as he didn't show any pain at all.
Did sothing happen to the Treacherous Beings on the Whining Road?
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. He gently touched his ears, as his palm glowed green. Then, his hearing returned to normal.
He had trusted Zen's reaction too much, but he forgot that Zen had a completely different type of life form after he had obtained a unique bloodline.
Just as he recovered his hearing, the ear-piercing howls imdiately flooded his mind.
As a result, his eyes rolled back, and his body convulsed.
“Do you want to die?!” the Snake Goddess hissed madly.
She quickly reached out to him and pressed on his ears. After she shut off his hearing, he stopped twitching. He had fully fainted.
Then, she turned to look at Zen. “What did you do?” she asked in confusion.
He and Fuxi had communicated with each other through their spiritual senses just now, so the Snake Goddess naturally did not know what they talked about, nor did she know why Fuxi suddenly restored his hearing.
However, Zen was also confused. He said, “The Treacherous Beings have stopped wailing. Why did Master Fuxi still suffer?”
“Stopped wailing?” the Snake Goddess frowned. “Maybe you heard a different sound from us,” she opined.
By that ti, Fuxi woke up already. He released a spiritual sense that conveyed resentnt. He glared at Zen and said, “You brat, do you want to kill ?”
Right now, the howls of the Treacherous Beings were quite intense. If it wasn't for the Snake Goddess's quick reaction, Fuxi's soul would've gotten seriously injured. Furthermore, exposure to the howls for five minutes was enough to kill him!
“It's my fault, Master Fuxi,” Zen apologized. “But what I hear are indeed chanting sounds, and the chants follow certain rules,” he explained.
With that, he announced his words to the crowd in the thatched hut through his spiritual sense.
“Chants that follow so rules...”
“Do these Treacherous Beings have language?”
“You must have misheard it. Did the wails damage your ears?”
The Snake Goddess, Fuxi, and the three Eternal Realm Hunters all looked at him strangely.
No one knew about the origins of the Treacherous Beings. They just appeared occasionally in the Supre Pure Realm.
It seed that so kind of creature had created them from their resentnt. As for why they existed or what they ca here for, no one knew. The more they couldn't figure out the Treacherous Beings' origins, the more they beca afraid of them.
“I did not mishear,” Zen said and shook his head. “These regular chants seem to...”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly glowed brightly, then he exclaid, “It appears that they are reciting Sanskrit words!”
The voices uttered the chants in a rhythm. Although their tone was flat and was nothing like singing, it was quite similar to reading Sanskrit words.
Back then, when he was with the bald giant by the na of Pompeo, his voice was like singing, and it was also rhythmic.
It turned out that the Treacherous Beings were not wailing, but communicating through the incomprehensible Sanskrit words!
“Sanskrit words?”
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
“Ha-ha! Forget about whether the Treacherous Beings know Sanskrit or not, or if the wails are a way of their communication with Sanskrit words. Even if it is, you still can't understand it,” Pearson said and waved his hand.
There was no way for them to confirm such speculations if they couldn't understand the language used. Thus, Pearson thought that what Zen said was nonsense.
“Not necessarily,” the Snake Goddess said with a smile. “He can understand it.”
Pearson's, Thurston's, and Sawyer's eyes widened in shock. They thought that the Snake Goddess must be kidding!
The Eternal Realm Hunters wandered in the Three Purities Stage all year round, and they also knew a lot about Sanskrit words.
It was still possible to decipher Sanskrit words that were on paper or engraved on sothing, but not for “Sanskrit words” in chants.
That kind of language contained too much aning, and it was too complicated.
Furthermore, the creatures in the chaos had innate limitations. Letting them decipher Sanskrit words was equivalent to making the dumb speak and the blind paint. It was beyond their abilities.
Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Yasamin also cast Zen strange looks. Then again, they did not know much about what happened on the Other Shore after they got trapped, so they did not know that Zen had such a skill.
“I'm not sure if I can understand, but I can try,” said Zen.
What if perhaps the Treacherous Beings did not talk in Sanskrit? If so, the Heavenly Obsession Civilization naturally couldn't decipher them.
Still, he began to communicate with the Heavenly Obsession Civilization.
However, he didn't dare let the Heavenly Obsession Civilization listen directly to the wails. Instead, he transmitted the sound he heard into his inner world.
Once the Civilization Artifact of the Heavenly Obsession Civilization was ready, it began to decipher the chants.
At the sa ti, the core of the Heavenly Obsession Civilization on the upper ice field of the Blooming Jade Stage began to operate like mad.
This ti, it took longer to decipher the words. After quite a while, a voice ca out from the Civilization Artifact.
“They are indeed speaking Sanskrit,” it stated. “Then what are they talking about?” Zen asked hurriedly.
“Most of the sounds are aningless. Perhaps they are scriptures used in a kind of ceremony, and they recite them over and over again,” answered the Civilization Artifact.
“So scriptures...” In all honesty, he was a little disappointed.
Just then, the Civilization Artifact added, “In addition to those aningless scriptures, there is also a sentence within them.”
He imdiately perked up upon hearing those words. “What is it?” he asked again.
“They have been calling out 'co back quickly, ' as if one of them went missing. They continually repeat the words so the missing would return,” the Civilization Artifact said.
