Chapter 893: The Secret Of The Gemini Mask
With the assistance of Yue Yang, Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian’s consecutive attacks, the Storm Goddess General was finally able to defeat the Volcanic Whale.
The Volcanic Whale would have preferred death compared to surrender.
However, the blow was too painful to bear. The Storm Goddess General made the Volcanic Whale freeze like how humans would preserve their salted fish, but the most terrifying thing was the torture of Yue Yang’s small power of the Law and the Pandora’s Box. The strength of the small power of the Law and the Divine Power of Calamity were double blows to the Volcanic Whale— so much so that its only wish was to die but even that wish couldn’t be fulfilled. Then, it had been endlessly tortured by Yue Yang’s various experiments. Finally, it found out that Hui Tai Lang, who had swallowed the fishman into his belly, did not seem satisfied with his meal and looked like he could have another serving. Hence, the Whale had no choice but to lower its head and surrender to the Storm Goddess General.
Xiao Wen Li, who chased the Flame Condor, fought much faster than the Storm Goddess General.
The Flame Condor with higher wisdom knew that the outcome would be inevitable.
Under Xiao Wen Li’s restraining talents, it had been injured several times and had no power to fight back, wailing and surrendering long ago.
The Chaotic Ghost was focused on consuming the fire energy, whereas the two Wildfire Crows were willing to surrender. However, she ignored them and continued slaughtering the volcanic spirits. She chased them into the Sea of Flames, hunting down the two Wildfire Crows like a fisherman sprinting for fish. If it weren’t for the delay as she killed the volcanic spirits, the two Wildfire Crows might not have survived.
The two frightened Wildfire Crows formed into a circle and fled to Yue Yang’s side to seek shelter.
Facing opponents like the Chaotic Ghost, there is only one outcome should they not surrender.
And that was to be swallowed directly.
“Unfortunately, I didn’t get more information…” What Yue Yang wanted most were not a few Heaven Ranked Beasts, but more ancient secrets. Especially with regard to the secrets of Six Divine Artifacts and ancient runes—the more there were, the better.
“Let’s take it slow. Maybe after entering the Gods’ Ruins, we will be able to truly open the secret door of the ancient times,” Xue Wu Xia comforted Yue Yang softly.
“How do we deal with these beasts?” Princess Qian Qian asked this question. It was certain that they would be taken out as leaving them here was basically the equivalent of letting the tiger go back to the mountain[1]. Of course, Yue Yang would not do such a thing. The problem was that the beasts such as the Volcanic Whale, Fire Dragon Eel, Flame Condor, and the Wildfire Crows were not only very high-level beasts, but they were also mature with little cultivation value. After all, not every beast that entered the Beast Valley had the blessings to be reborn through the Gates of Reincarnation.
[T/L Note: meaning something was done in vain.]
For Yue Yang, these beasts were still pretty good at the moment and could be used well. However, in the future, they will definitely be lesser if compared with the beasts of higher potential such as Hui Tai Lang and the Chaotic Ghost.
He didn’t like beasts with such obvious displays of advantages and disadvantages.
The fact that beasts were super huge alone made him lose his interest in cultivating them.
Yet, the beasts that surrendered were all extremely large and gigantic.
Not mentioning the viewpoints of training, just bringing them out into the Soaring Dragon Continent alone was a painfully troubling task. If these powerful and huge beasts rolled and pranced around casually in the Soaring Dragon Continent, earthquakes would also occur and affect many places.
Therefore, even if they were taken out, they could not be placed in the Soaring Dragon Continent.
Placing them in the Heaven Realm might just encourage them to escape at some point as well.
So that’s not good either.
After thinking about it, Yue Yang decided to put these ‘unexpected’ beasts on the sixth floor of the Tong Tian Tower’s Thunder Fortress, where the lava lake would be their paradise.
“This guy is too big and terrifying! However, it is majestic and is at the 6th Level of the Heaven Rank. It is also an extremely giant Battle Beast. Putting its name into the public was a great move!” To Yue Yang’s surprise, the Old Fox, Jun Wu You and other elders went to the Thunder Fortress to watch after hearing the rumours. If it weren’t for Yue Yang’s objection, they also would have liked to move the Volcanic Whale, which would splash thousands of meters of magma all over as long as it moved, to the Soaring Dragon Continent and settle it down.
“Master is so great…” Fat Toad Jia De trembled with excitement.
As a servant of Yue Yang, his status has also risen.
Not only did the merchants want it, but the innate warriors will give a polite nod when they see it.
Because Yue Yang had a good harvest this time, the Elder Nan Gong, Sky Execution, the Dragon Emperor, the Emperor of the Underworld and a few others also came to watch. There, they found that Yue Yang had captured a Volcanic Whale that was around a kilometre long, a Flame Condor, a Deep Sea Fire Dragon Eel and even managed to subdue two 2nd Level Heaven Ranked Wildfire Crows that were as timid as mice.
In the end, Sky Execution exchanged the treasure ‘Great Sky Demon Orb’ of the Sky demon Palace for the two Wildfire Crows for the newly promoted second strongest Innate Elder Heaven Rank, Sky Crime.
The Underworld Emperor drooled as he wanted to make exchanges as well.
But his treasure ‘Eye of the Underworld’ was only a Holy treasure. Without the power of a sub-divine tool like the Great Sky Demon Orb, he could only watch Sky Crime make a contract with the Wildfire Crows. As for the Fire Dragon Eel and the Flame Condor, things were even more out of his league. The strength of these two were too strong and intelligent and he wasn’t sure if he could completely subdue them. If they were to run away someday, he would definitely cry even if he couldn’t form tears. Yue Yang was also interested in the ‘Eye of the Underworld’, so he patted his chest and promised the Underworld Emperor that he would find a powerful and valuable beast for him.
The Great Demon King Baruth, who came a little later, also wanted to exchange a Battle-type Beast with Yue Yang.
However, he didn’t want anything else but a black dragon.
It was also said that riding the black dragon was a tradition of the Demon King passed down since ancient times. Was the black dragon easy to control too? Yue Yang received the ‘Demon Bottle’ and stopped making complaints.
“Because of cultivation reasons, I won’t go to the Land of Trials right away for the time being. I will be walking around in the Heaven Realm these days. If I encounter a suitable beast, I will definitely show it to you. Believe my insights, I promise that I won’t be wrong! “Student Yue Yang secretly squealed with joy. These Elders have a bunch of precious treasures, so he would have to try harder to squeeze them out of their hands.
“It’s still important to cultivate, so just let these kinds of things take their places naturally!” Elder Nan Gong valued Yue Yang the most and advised him not to be too distracted.
“Naturally. I will look for some again when I have time, but I believe that a suitable war beast captive will be available soon!” The Underworld Emperor was very confident in Yue Yang. If Yue Yang told him the truth about the Innate Supreme Lord of Fire and his pretense as a formidable opponent in the Sea of Flames, he guaranteed that the Emperor of the Underworld would be scared half to death.
“Is it true that no one wants the Fire Dragon Eel and the Flame Condor?” Yue Yang wanted to make the final sale.
“It’s easy to deal with the strong, but when their wisdom was too high, it would be difficult to truly tame an adult beast with intelligence,” The Dragon Emperor even hinted that if Yue Yang didn’t want to contract the two of them, he better kill them to avoid future troubles.
Although the two Battle-type Beasts, the Deep Sea Fire Dragon Eel and the Flame Condor indeed have a certain level of wisdom, they wouldn’t maintain being Holy Beasts.
There was still a little bit of cultivation value in them, after all.
Chaotic Ghost had always wanted to eat them and absorb their fire energy, but Yue Yang didn’t give her this opportunity. Instead, he let the Reaper Mantis of the super-elemental body form a contract with them. If the Reaper Mantis and the two Beasts evolve into Divine Beasts, the three of them would probably be able to take on anything as a group as long as they joined forces and cooperated with one another. This was the best solution that Yue Yang finally thought of— to have one junior bring up two seniors. If it were not for the restrained attributes, any enemy would have a headache dealing with them!
Hui Tai Lang had a bulging belly, but no one knew that he had eaten a giant fishman.
It hasn’t been digested until now.
The onlookers also patronised a few of the Battle-type Beast prisoners, but no one paid attention to him.
It was not until he returned to Tian Luo Palace that Little Shuang Er discovered the dog’s[2] abnormality.
[T/L Note: I know he’s a wolf but think of it as Shuang Er being familiar with Hui Tai Lang (cuz he seriously behaves like a pet puppy) and is also the sister of his Master— she gets perks to call him a dog, I guess]
“Brother, what’s the matter with the dog? Look at him, did he eat something wrong? Why can’t his mouth close together?” Yue Shuang stood on tiptoe as she stroked Hui Tai Lang’s forehead with little effort.
“This is the result of gluttony!” Yue Yang said, making Xiao Shuang Er’s face pale with fright.
In a certain way, the little girl’s slanderous mouth was a match for Hui Tai Lang’s gluttony.
Hearing that ‘gluttony’ made him look like this, she became so frightened that she hurriedly covered her small mouth in fear that her mouth would be like his. Because of the long-term dislocation of the chin, his mouth was damaged and he couldn’t close it for a while.
Hui Tai Lang’s mouth was crooked, but he was very proud— not anyone could have swallowed that 4th Level Heaven Ranked fishman.
Once the fishman was digested, his strength would be greatly improved.
A crooked mouth for a few days is nothing!
“What? Don’t you want the candy?” Yue Yang took out the candy to tempt the little girl as usual, but she was afraid that she would eat too much and become unable to close her mouth like Hui Tai Lang. She desperately refused and nearly cried. In the end, it was Xue Wu Xia who took her to find Si-niang, and Yue Yang was finally at peace. In the name of not disturbing Yue Yang’s practice, Princess Qian Qian diligently took the Qi Luo Umbrella to find Yue Yu.
“Study it slowly. If you find out about any secrets, we can discuss it afterwards,” Princess Qian Qian left with light steps, looking very happy.
“The Great Sky Demon Orb is such a good item! The Eye of the Underworld is also good. The Demon Bottle given by Baruth has a peculiar energy, but it seems to be a treasure from ancient times. I’ll just study it as well then,” Yue Yang had initially wanted to research the ancient flame rune pattern painted by the Lord of Fire. However, Sickly Beauty and Yue Yu were not there and he was unwilling to spend time repeating the information, so he would wait for them to come back before he started to study it. As for the Great Sky Demon Orb that was exchanged for the Wildfire Crows, Yue Yang didn’t see any more secrets for the time being, but he discovered that the treasure of the Eye of the Underworld seemed to be capable of inlaying within the hollow crevice between the eyebrows of the Gemini Mask.
Could it be that there was an eye in the middle where the Gemini Mask was hollowed out?
Because of the seal, the Gemini Mask turned out to be just a gold-level treasure.
After Yue Yang used the Nirvana Flame to reshape its appearance many times, the originally broken and shattered mask was almost completely restored as its power was already close to that of a sub-divine artifact level.
It turned out that Yue Yang thought it was the center of the brow area that was cracked with a perfectly hollow circular arc. He tried using whatever he had, but he never found a suitable filler. Hence, he always thought that the middle part was broken and lost. It wasn’t until the Underworld Emperor took out the treasure, the Eye of the Underworld and Yue Yang comparing the two did he find that the objects added up.
The final seal of this Gemini Mask couldn’t be unlocked, so what kind of secrets did it contain?
What exactly is the truth?
