Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 644 Fate of the couple (4)

“Adler already had the intention of giving my daughter whatever was left of the treasure bone he was left with, but even he knew he couldn’t give it straight to her without sufficient preparations.

So when Jiang Xiang appeared before him, he shared his woes with him. Jiang Xiang was known to be knowledgeable about a lot of things, and with his experience in the human world, he was bound to know more.

Adler has ventured out of the Deer Mountain Range before, unlike us, who have never taken a single step outside, so he must have known the implications of working for the White Rose Pavilion which is what I think was a factor in why he divulged that he had a treasure bone to Jiang Xiang..” said Bai Zhen.

Yang Qing nodded though, in his mind, he told himself the fire adler bear was too trusting and too wreckless by opening up he had a piece of a treasure bone in his possession.

This was an item that would cause rank 2 organizations that have been allies for tens of thousands of years to immediately wipe away the relationship and tear at each other all for the chance of getting their hands at the treasure bone.

Kingdom would turn against kingdom, subjects would turn against their king, neighbor would turn against neighbor, friend would turn against friend, student would turn against master, brother would turn against brother, and son would turn against father.

Every sacred bond ran the risk of being shredded to pieces the moment a treasure bone appeared and the fire adler bear willingly divulged he had such a thing, to a resident, someone he had not seen in close to four thousand years.

Yang Qing couldn’t help but wonder how trusting he was or was his mind beguiled.

An eclipse spiritweave fox had abilities related to the soul. They had something called the eclipse vision that could induce trance-like states into subjects, sometimes it was a good thing, as it could help the person concentrate or prevent an agitated internal demon from exploding, and in other cases, it left the subject of the vision susceptible to coercsion.

Yang Qing wondered if the fire adler bear was a victim of the latter. But he immediately rejected the notion.

A spirit beast capable of reaching the quasi-domain realm and even rejecting the use of something as precious as a treasure bone had to have strong willpower which was the best defense against mental-based attacks.

“Jiang Xiang was the one who helped him lay the whole thing down. He told Adler that the method was a tried and proven method that humans used to strengthen their bodies to the point that it would rival or even exceed that of spirit beasts.

He was the one who, through his connections procured the sunset heart-seeking boulder and the inner flame mosaic flower.

Together, he and Jiang Xiang laid out the whole thing, and in exchange for his help, Adler gave him a tiny piece of the treasure bone. It was about this size..” said Bai Zhen as he separated his index finger and thumb to show the measurement.

The space in between the two fingers was enough for a blade of grass to barely fit through. It may seem small, but such a small piece contained enough insights and profundities to last a domain expert several lifetimes contemplating it.

“What about the one he gave your daughter?” Yang Qing curiously asked.

“It was about this wide, and this long..”

The size depicted by Bai Zhen was a girth of about 4mm and the length was about two centimeters. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Yang Qing nodded as he motioned for Bai Zhen to continue.

“After the whole thing was set, Jiang Xiang left. Adler never told him who it was for. After he left, Adler told us of his plan, which was to let Qin’er absorb the treasure bone and have her undergo the evolution.

We were ill at ease at first, by the whole thing. We may have not traveled at all, but we know how precious a treasure bone is from our bloodline memories and the sensation we got the moment we saw it.

The bone wasn’t even the size of my eye, but it radiated with a power so unfathomable and boundless that it looked like it could contain an entire galaxy within it.

I felt so small and overwhelmed before it. I never felt something quite like it..”

Bai Zhen went silent as he shared a complicated look with his wife Bai Su.

When he and his wife saw the treasure bone and its grandness, they thought nothing could ever surpass that feeling, but in the past few days that notion was obliterated because they did feel a power just as grand as the treasure bone, and it was much much scarier even.

Pushing those negative thoughts aside, Bai Zhen continued.

“Eventually we relented though we didn’t need much convincing anyway. This was a chance to change the fate of our child, so of course we were going to jump at it.

We were there every step of the way as Adler helped her refine and strengthen her body, soul, mind, and heart. The process took almost 200 years before Adler was satisfied that she could handle the destructive and overwhelming process of the evolution.

He then took out an ancient-looking scroll, wrapped the treasure bone around it, and muttered some strange incantation as he placed the scroll on my daughter’s back.

The scroll ..”

Just as he was about to continue, Yang Qing interrupted him.

“The strange incantation, do you remember it?”

“For some reason, i only remember aspects of it, and it’s jumbled at that., what about you Bai Su?” Bai Zhen said as he directed the question to his wife.

“It’s jumbled for me too, though I do remember feeling a cry coming from deep within my blood when he mumbled the incantation. It was like my ancestors were resonating with it..” said Bai Su with furrowed brows as she tried to recall the sensation from that day. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

“Mythical beast incantation..” absent-mindedly muttered Yang Qing when he heard Bai Su’s description.

It was something he had seen happen at the beast hall.
