Chapter 1048 Different Roots
Davis was about to soothe Xiao ili’s psyche so that she does not make this place a ss or humiliate herself, but fortunately, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
Nadia didn’t have a change of expression at all. After seeing so many Spirit Attribute Sources, she was rather getting bored and remained indifferent to its ghastly image. Compared to her master’s mysterious yet terrifying energy, she felt that it was lackluster.
On the other hand, Evelynn possessed a determined expression on her face while her brows were furrowed. She knew that she had to absorb this wretched, ugly, and truly disgusting face into her dantian to improve her cultivation and law comprehension. Otherwise, it was possible that she would be unable to catch up to her husband or her two sisters anyti soon.
Davis noticed her expression, and inwardly nodded his head. Her eyes didn’t waver at all. If it were the Evelynn of the past, he knew that she would be like Xiao ili right now, ending up terrified and disgusted by the shape of these Poison Essences.
Indeed, it wasn’t just this Poison Essence that took a ghastly shape of a rotting face. Out of the six Poison Essences, three of them possessed sinister shapes!
Poison Essences tend to mostly take the shape of what, where, and why they were ford from, but they also possessed the tendency to constantly change shapes to their discretion. Right now, Davis could see that this Peak-Level Sky Grade Poison Essence took the shape of a ghastly human face to intimidate them.
’Heh! Even though nurous formations imprison it, it still has the mood to scare us... Is this it’s nature, sothing that all Poison Essences are born with?’ Davis mused before he looked at Xiao ili.
"What’s this stupid face’s na and origin?"
"Eh? Oh..." Xiao ili understood before she nodded her head, "Its na is Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn."
"As for its origin and powers, please give
a mont."
She hesitatingly looked at the ghastly green face before she walked up to the sealed gate. However, she moved to the side four steps away before knowingly stepping on an invisible chanism.
From the ground, the surface moved as a jade slip appeared. She bent her waist and picked it up carefully before reading it. After a few seconds, she looked at Alchemist Davis and explained.
"This Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn is born from the corpse dust of the Verdant Dust Dragonfly, among the nurous carcasses. The Verdant Dust Dragonfly is known for their resilience to certain poisons like paralytic ones. As for their poisonous prowess, it is said that it is capable of creating a poisonous dust storm in groups, making it easy for them to poison a city full of Fifth Stage Experts to death!"
"Oh...? Fifth Stage Experts? Mid-Level Sky Grade?" Davis beca confused before his expression brightened, "Did this Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn manage to grow by two levels, reaching Peak-Level Sky Grade in prowess?"
Xiao ili pursed her lips as she nodded her head, "It is stated that it killed a million souls as it targeted the towns of the Alstreim Family, and grew by using their souls as an energy source about thirty thousand years ago."
"Thirty thousand years ago!?" Davis’s expression changed, "It’s been imprisoned from such a long ti ago?"
Xiao ili shook her head, "No, it’s said that it managed to hide in the collapsed crevice of the Verdant Range Valley for many thousand years before it was captured by one of our Ancestors after an expedition into that collapsed crevice."
"So an Ancestor-level character captured it. No wonder they were able to bring a monstrosity like this here and not kept in the Treasury for more security. I initially thought that this place was controlled by a Grand Elder, but to think that its history really belongs to an Ancestor..."
"Ti sure flies fast..." Davis was in awe before he quickly frowned.
When he grows in cultivation in the future, would his perception of ti also change? At so point, thirty thousand years would appear very little that even relationships wouldn’t matter anymore?
Davis instantly experienced goosebumps at the random thought. Thirty thousand years was just too far away from him that he couldn’t honestly comprehend how much of a ti it was and the number of experiences he would gain during that ti.
"It was unknown what kind of phenonon is required to take place for the Poison Essence to be born, and it is safe to say that the phenonon was a special one. Otherwise, it is possible that a new Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn may be born as there’s still the presence of these dragonflies in the west region of the Alstreim Family’s territory."
Xiao ili heaved a gentle and relieved sigh, "I can’t thank Ancestors of the Alstreim Family enough. I also co from a humble town in the western region, so to think that it could still be present sowhere underneath just gives
the chills..."
Davis blinked on hearing her statent. He couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao ili, why is your na different from the others?"
"Eh? Does A-Alchemist Davis find my na strange?" Xiao ili beca flustered.
"Not at all... I just find it interesting. It makes
curious..."
Xiao ili looked at his honest expression before she nodded his head.
"My father told
that it’s a na from another language that has been lost to ti. I don’t know its na, but he also ntioned how our nas were common in ancient tis but not so now, but we still continue the tradition and keep it so that we can honor our ancestors."
"You don’t know the na of the language?" Davis beca a bit amused.
Xiao ili shook her head, "We use a na list that has been passed down for generations and generations."
’What...? Are they using a na list? How long are they keep upholding this tradition for...?’ Davis beca flabbergasted and wanted to ask, but it was rather obvious that Xiao ili knew nothing.
"So, you don’t even know what ili ans?"
"I know that... It ans beautiful and graceful." Xiao ili giggled.
Davis couldn’t help but smile.
Clearly, it was Chinese but not Mandarin or Cantonese or any other dialect for that matter. It was probably way old and advanced but beca redundant after the birth of Sky Word Language, just like how every other language and literature studies beca irrelevant to cultivators.
The Sky Word Language was said to be directly introduced to every cultivator living at that ti to unite humanity. Perhaps, only mortals who forgot about the Sky Word Language after that particular generation failed to pass on were fighting about their regional languages at this point.
This made him think if the Chinese Language didn’t originate on Earth in the first place but made an appearance from so other place. Its fantastical history that had ’Cultivation’ and ’Heaven’ also ca to be true once he ca to this cultivation world, proving that it had roots in the cultivation world. However, it could also be said to be the sa about every other culture in so instances.
There was a spatial formation connecting the Grand Sea Continent and the Earth, so he wasn’t surprised to think if there might be another spatial formation that might lead to sowhere else but just hadn’t been found.
The Twelve Vile Vortices on Earth that denied him entry were suspicious as hell in regarding this matter!
