Chapter 238: Unexpected Clue
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Chen’s expression was as if he had discovered a new continent.
Zhurong and Goulong, who were watching from the side, saw his strange expression and wanted to ask something. However, Ye Chen immediately lowered his head and continued to search for information in the system that they couldn’t see.
Ye Chen was looking for the image of the mutated beast he saw when he opened the Titan’s Eye. At that time, he could see everyone’s meridians and the direction of their Spiritual Energy.
He quickly found the image.
It was indeed as Goulong had said. Those meridians and Spiritual Energy of those who were of the same race or had a similar figure were close. Monkey’s Spiritual Energy direction was more similar to Ye Chen’s own meridians in his impression. Little Purple’s was more similar to the Godly Sea Steadying Needle and the Feather Dragons.
!!
Although the Immortal Phoenix’s body was occupied by Zhurong, the direction of its Spiritual Energy did not change. It was still almost the same as Kun Peng in its bird form.
More importantly, there was another similar thing, which was the direction of the Spiritual Energy in the image of the Wind God provided by the Titan God.
Ye Chen removed the system photo album and looked at Goulong.
“You’re right. It’s indeed a bird. However, I’ve never seen the image of a Windy Bird. Can you describe it?”
In the records of the Windy Bird in the Wasteland Remembrance, there was only a rather blurry portrait because there was really no information and he had never observed it up close. It was not enough for Ye Chen to see its true appearance.
His current plan was to first confirm if the Wind God and the Windy Bird looked alike before analyzing its relationship with the Immortal Phoenixes.
Hearing his words, Goulong reacted.
“Did you find the image of the Wind God with the help of your ability?” It quickly said, “Then let’s compare the information. As far as I know, the Windy Bird is silver all over. It has long tail feathers and a fan-shaped feather crown that can be spread open. When it reaches adulthood, it will probably only be this long. It looks like an Immortal Phoenix when it’s underage… Can it match the image you see?”
Ye Chen was speechless.
They were practically identical.
“Yes. You really made the right judgment.” He mocked, “But no matter how I look at it, I feel that the Wind God’s image is that of the Immortal Phoenix. It just changed its color and became bigger. Even the patterns on its adult body are the same. Is it really unrelated to the Immortal Phoenixes?”
If there were many birds with similar appearances, it would make sense. However, even the patterns were the same. Ye Chen did not dare to say that this was a coincidence.
A day ago, in front of the Spirit Sealing Altar, Zhurong had told him about the totems in the bodies of the various mutated beasts in the Sun Celestial Heavens. At that time, he knew that the entire Sun Celestial Heavens had the Immortal Phoenix as the center because this race had the highest bloodline and purity of Spiritual Energy. The totems with them as the image existed in the bodies of all the mutated beasts with its bloodline. The higher the strength, the more complete the totem.
The more complete the totem was, the closer it was to the adult form of the Immortal Phoenix, especially the patterns on its body.
Therefore, the patterns on the Immortal Phoenixes had a special bloodline meaning. If other mutated beasts had similar patterns to it, it should only prove that the two were quite related.
The system did not respond. This matter was not within the scope of what the Titan God knew. Ye Chen secretly curled his lips. He thought that he was very close to the Wind God, but in the end, he even had to ask other mutated beasts about its background and bloodline.
Zhurong was stunned when it heard this.
“How can the Wind God be related to the Immortal Phoenixes?” Seeing that the two of them had fallen silent, Goulong quickly came up and said, “The characteristics of the Immortal Phoenixes are actually not that typical. Could you have seen it wrongly?”
Ye Chen shook his head. “It’s unlikely that I’m wrong. That pattern is exactly the same,” he replied. “Has the Sun Celestial Heavens never had any related rumors?”
Zhurong let out a bitter laugh.
“Even if there was once, such a thing has long been banned from spreading by the gods,” it replied. “If the Wind God is indeed a foreign species from the Sun Celestial Heavens, it’s impossible for anything related to it to be passed down.”
This clue might have been cut off. Ye Chen could only start from other aspects.
“Then at least I can confirm that the Windy Birds and the Wind God basically look the same. What did the two of you discuss before?” he asked the two Divine Beasts.
Zhurong and Goulong looked at each other.
“We think that the Sky Domain’s Dragon Claw Grass might have absorbed all the curses, which caused me to be unable to resolve its curse through the Wind God’s consciousness. Later on, when the Windy Birds were born, they, who also inherited the Wind God’s consciousness, absorbed a portion of the curse, allowing me to resolve the problem of the curse on the Dragon Claw Grass.” Goulong replied, “However, I still don’t quite understand how it did it.”
“In my opinion, there’s no need to consider how this plant absorbs the curse at all.” Zhurong seemed to have given up on thinking. “Aren’t we still unable to understand the principles of the Life and Death Wood? A plant that looks like a mutated beast…”
There was nothing wrong with its words.
Whether it was the Dragon Claw Grass or the Life and Death Wood, the effects of these two plants that were connected far exceeded Ye Chen’s imagination.
Putting aside the fact that they were in the Sky Domain, ordinary Dragon Claw Grass all grew near the Life and Death Wood. They will bloom once they grow out, and become stones once they are plucked. They didn’t live like companion plants at all. Instead, they were more like a part of the Life and Death Wood.
The Life and Death Wood was even more exaggerated. As a plant, it actually had its own Spiritual Energy circulation system. This was no different from a mutated beast. After the Spiritual Energy it produced turned into Spirit Stones, if it was absorbed by other mutated beasts, as long as it wasn’t processed, it could even change the other party’s attributes and even assimilate the circulation of Spiritual Energy…
At this thought, Ye Chen suddenly paused. He suddenly realized that these characteristics of the Life and Death Wood were very familiar to him.
Assimilating the Spiritual Energy of a mutated beast and assimilating the flow of the other party’s Spiritual Energy with its own body… He had already experienced the pain of these characteristics. If not for the help of the gel refined from the corpse of its own kind, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle would probably be in extreme danger now.
Moreover, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle only used the refined Wood Marrow to cleanse the Beast Spirit Contract. It didn’t really absorb too much Wood Spiritual Energy. And these phenomena actually existed under the effect of the Wind God Spiritual Energy.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and took out the bag of Spirit Stones from his inventory. He found the remaining few Wood Spirit Stones and started to read the information about the proportion of Spiritual Energy inside.
After obtaining the new authority, this kind of thing was extremely easy for him.
After reading it, Ye Chen looked at Zhurong.
“Fortunately, you mentioned the Life and Death Wood. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to tell what happened in the history of mutated beasts.” As he spoke, he threw a Wood Spirit Stone into Zhurong’s arms.
