Chapter 1417: A Races Transformation Process (1/2)
Even though he wasn’t completely sure of Ye Xiaoxiao’s bloodline, he could still tell that it was absolutely marvelous.
If it was any other occasion, he would definitely try to guide her. Alas, today wasn’t his day because he understood that she had been chosen by someone else. Even if he was stronger, he still wouldn’t dare to try and steal her away.
Terminus was an existence untouchable by even Immortal Emperors since he was rooted at the Divine Tree Ridge! However, he was aware that the most terrifying existence in this world wasn’t an Immortal Emperor. Their wrath didn’t make all others tremble.
He knew a bit about the darkness. This was a horrifying secret only privy to characters of his level. The more one was exposed to this type of secret, the more they understood about the inviolable taboo of this world. Because of this, despite knowing full well of her great bloodline, he still didn’t dare to teach her!
Terminus murmured: “I hope Heaven Spirit will be peaceful for a bit longer. A few people better start praying. Sigh, those who are blind might face a genocide!”
In fact, he hoped that a few things would end quickly. Although the Divine Tree Ridge was one of the twelve burial grounds, it wasn’t a threat to everyone. A few people would consider these burial grounds to be a treasure trove. For example, the legendary dark hand.
Xiaoxiao was full of curiosity from the novelty of visiting the citadel for the first time. She looked around constantly and found that this city hanging in the sky wasn’t much different from the other cities in Heaven Spirit.
Even though the buildings and mansions here weren’t exquisite, they were much better than the rough structures back at the villages.
Moreover, the numerous withered here weren’t too different from the other races. They lived ordinary lives in this city. However, the withered here were actually very skilled at conducting business. One wouldn’t be able to tell that they were a new race at all compared to the other races.
“The withered at the Divine Tree Citadel seem much smarter than the ones back at the villages. They can do anything.” Xiaoxiao carefully observed them.
Their speech was also excellent relative to the other races. The duo had been to many villages before, but the withered there simply didn’t speak. Even if they could, only simple sentences came out. The ones here spoke in a very pleasant manner without any impediment.
Li Qiye answered: “It’s pretty normal. The rebirth and transformation require some time for adaptation, and how long depends on the individual’s talents. For example, when we are born, none of us could talk. The next development is a personal one based on the latent potential which could yield different results.”
They casually strolled through the many stores at the citadel. The owners were all withered selling all types of goods. The most common commodities were spirit pills and gra.s.ses.
Xiaoxiao noticed this and asked: “Why are alchemy ingredients the most popular here? Is it because the Divine Tree Ridge has them in abundance?”
“That’s one of the reasons.” He smiled: “There is another one, the withered are gifted at finding these materials — quite an extraordinary talent indeed. Moreover, there are also many treecorpses here.”
“What do the treecorpses have to do with this?” She was puzzled.
“The treecorpses travel in packs and like to live near alchemy ingredients. Their numbers are often proportionate, so that’s why there are corpse nests and lairs around here.” He paused a moment before continuing: “Despite the treecorpses being failed creations, the withered are still their parents so they can easily find these treecorpses. From this, it is easy to understand why the withered can also find alchemy ingredients at the ridge better than anyone else.”
