Chapter 49 - Obtain the Flame!
Chapter 49: Obtain the Flame!
The broken blade floated in mid-air, silent.
What else could it say?
To think the skills of a level 2 green sparrow were all at the great success realm!
And they were all intermediate and advanced skills!
This was ridiculous!
Who could win against that?!
Even it wasn’t this strong back when it was at level 2, okay?
“The pets nowadays...” The broken blade was silent for a moment, then asked, “Are they this strong?”
“That’s not it, Xiao Tao. The pets of the few human youths I fought before were average in all aspects,” The giant tree quickly consoled the blade, “I think it’s still dependent on the Beastmasters.”
“Young man, you must have suffered a lot to nurture your sparrow, right?” The giant tree sighed, “Young sparrows aren’t very intelligent, and their skill training relies heavily on their Beastmasters. Sometimes, the Beastmasters even have to train together with their pets to motivate them...”
This tree knew the hardships quite well!
“It was very tiring indeed,” Wang Ye nodded.
It made him extremely weak to run the simulations every day.
Wasn’t that tiring?
“I can understand the first few moves,” The broken blade said, “But how did you get a young pet to cultivate the intermediate skill Feather Coat? With its age, if it wants to cultivate the skill to this realm... You’re not torturing it every day, are you?”
“How is that possible?” Wang Ye immediately denied, “How can you say that it’s torture when it’s the training from a Beastmaster? Everything is voluntary. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiao Jiu.”
The broken blade looked at Xiao Jiu in confusion, then let out a few buzzing cries.
“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu seemed to have understood something. It immediately stood up, raised its wings, and chirped as if to say “I love training (playing)!”
“...”
The broken blade didn’t say anything.
“Senior, is it okay now?” Wang Ye reminded, “Can you tell me about the Scalding Bright Flame now?”
According to what senior Xiao Tao had said, as long as he knew about the information, he would definitely be able to get it.
This meant that Xiao Jiu wasn’t far from its first evolution!
“It’s on me,” The broken blade said indifferently.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll go look for it now...” Wang Ye had just said a few words when he came to his senses, “It’s, it’s, it’s on you?”
“That’s right,” The broken blade said slowly, “There’s a Scalding Bright Flame seed hidden in my body.”
Wang Ye clenched his hands and was a little excited.
It seemed that back in the simulation, the ball of flames should have exploded in this secret realm.
No wonder he felt that the location of the explosion seemed somewhat familiar in the simulation.
“Senior... can you give it to me in advance?” Wang Ye suggested in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you find the other two parts of your body and bring them to you! I will definitely help you!”
“It’s useless to give it to you now,” The broken blade said,
“Why?”
“The Scalding Bright Flame seed is still in its immature form. It needs to absorb a fire-type material that contains pure energy for some time before it can mature. Such material is not easy to find. So you’d better help me find it first.”
Hearing this, Wang Ye’s heart moved, and he immediately took out the Sacred Flame Nether Lotus from the spatial sphere, “Senior, look, is this material suitable?”
“...”
“This is... The Sacred Flame Nether Lotus!” The giant tree said in surprise, “Are rare materials like this already very common in the outside world?”
“No, I got it by accident,” Wang Ye said, “So is it okay?”
The broken blade suddenly pointed the tip of its blade at the sky and started humming something.
“Senior giant tree, what is it saying?” Wang Ye asked.
The giant tree was silent for a while before it said, “This is the will of Heaven.”
At this moment, the broken blade hummed, and a fire seed the size of a thumb burning with a platinum flame appeared at its tip.
Even though it was just a small flame, Wang Ye could feel the terrifying energy contained in it!
The Scalding Bright Flame was here!
“This thing is precious...” The broken blade turned its back to Wang Ye, “Don’t tell anyone about it. Also, if your green sparrow fails to evolve, please find a chance to bring this thing back to me for safekeeping. After you go back, separate the Sacred Flame Nether Lotus’ petals and let the fire seed absorb them in batches. It will mature in about a week. After it matures, fuse it within three days. Otherwise, it will develop spirituality and return to Heaven and Earth.”
“Understood, understood!” Wang Ye took a deep breath and took the flame.
The flame was clearly burning, but its temperature was not high. There was only a faint burning sensation.
He had obtained another material!
The gains from this trip were huge!
Afterwards, Wang Ye had a simple chat with the broken blade and the giant tree about their history. Senior Xiao Tao even reminded him not to tell others about his encounters here.
Of course, Wang Ye was not that stupid.
Before coming to the third stage, he had originally thought that if he met Xiao Tao and understood the whole story, it might be better to tell Ming Zhu and the others about it and let them solve this matter.
After all, they were the descendants of Ming Tianxu. However, after meeting Xiao Tao, he found instead that there seemed to be something wrong with the diary.
As for what role Mingguang Enterprise played in the whole matter was not within his considerations for the time being.
Before he left, the giant tree suddenly trembled and a large number of purple jacaranda flowers and tree branches fell, “Oh right, young man. These are the materials on my body. Since you lied to your companions before that you had destroyed me, it would arouse the suspicion of others if you returned empty-handed.”
“Take all these things away. Either way, I’m already used to my flowers and branches being taken away by others. Besides, after my strange evolution, these materials from my original form will fall off anyway. From now on, I will follow Xiao Tao and be buried here. I won’t grow these materials anymore.”
Wang Ye pondered for a moment and didn’t refuse.
The senior giant tree was very thoughtful.
Packing up everything, Wang Ye bid farewell to the two ancient pets..
Seeing Wang Ye leave, the giant tree suddenly said, “Xiao Tao, I remember that your Beastmaster seems to be surnamed Ming, right? And he does have descendants, right? Why did you say that to him?”
“...”
“Think about it,” The broken blade said calmly, “Why are we sealed here? According to what you said, I have even been portrayed as a fierce beast demonic sword? If those people really are Master’s descendants and they even obtained the diary, how could they not know about me? If they didn’t know, where did the diary come from? If they knew about me, why have they just left us sealed here? There must be a problem.”
“That youth has Master’s diary and even said that he got it from the Ming family’s descendant. This shows that he has a close relationship with the Ming family outside. My identity as the demonic sword is preconceived. If I were to speak openly the moment we met, he might not believe me. Therefore, I only need to tweak some of Master’s information, and he will definitely be suspicious and become wary.”
“This way, in the future, even if he gets other information about Master from the outside, he might not completely believe it. Even I have become a demonic sword. I don’t dare to imagine what Master will be portrayed as outside...”
The giant tree came to a realization, Then... won’t he suspect us?”
“That will depend on his choice...” The broken blade slowly sank into the ground, and the surroundings gradually returned to normal, “Dongli Country is weak. Without the protection of the divine beast totem, the dark fog is unpredictable, and the strange gods are like wolves waiting to pounce. How much longer can this country hold on? Ming Tianxu... I wonder if your choice back then was right or wrong...”
