Chapter 686 Clue from the voice

"As curious as I am about many things, I would not step a foot there. I rather like living and having my heart intact.." she humorously said.

"Celestial Sacred Swans have a way of sensing and communicating with each other, including sharing memories. Whenever one of our own is born, we can roughly sense their birth even if we are continents apart from each other.

It's a vague sense, at first, but it becomes stronger the closer one of us is to the hatchling. When I hatched, there was a senior of mine who had been close and was able to pinpoint my location from the shared sense.

Because of our low numbers and the risk we are to your kind, a nurturing system was created. A senior celestial sacred swan would help a new hatchling familiarize itself with its surroundings.

Part of it involves sharing memories. It's like a way of sharing information, like how you humans do with those talismans or books.

It contains a lot of things that will increase the survival chances of the hatchling. It covers a lot from basic, to specific ones that I can't share, even if I find you unique.." she said with a slight smile.

"But among them, it covers dangerous areas we should avoid. The Bestial Churning Sea was on that list. The memories...well, they were pretty vivid and drove the point home.." Gu Xin said with a slight shake in her voice.

She had barely been a few weeks old before the senior showed her the brutality of that place. It left her shaking for years, but at least thanks to it, she had been able to survive the Green Fog Region, which was also another location on the list.

Meanwhile, Yang Qing's eyes shone in amazement at the system of the Celestial Sacred Swan. It wasn't written in any of the books and scrolls he had read. He was giddy at the thought of discovering something new that no one else knew.

His childlike excitement drew a peal of laughter from Gu Xing.

Yang Qing scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he said,

"Thank you for sharing the information with me. If there's anything you need to know, I will freely answer it, if I can.."

"I will take you up on it.." answered Gu Xing with curiosity shining in her eyes.

"Now where was I.....ah, the uniqueness of this range. This range is not as violent as those places, despite the amount of powerful spirit beasts that are in the area. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Yes, there are occasional fights here and there, but it is not as widespread as one would expect, even amongst the lower-ranked spirit beast, which is something very prevalent in most places.

"While many voices from 100,000 years ago have long disappeared, there are some faint ones from 40,000 years ago going forward still faintly active. Though, they're now incoherent whispers..If you focus slightly, you can hear them.." Gu Xing said as she motioned for Yang Qing to try.

Yang Qing obliged as he closed his eyes to sense them. He erased the clear ones and the mildly clear ones, as his focus was spread on those that didn't touch on the two groups, soon he caught traces of inaudible whispers that sounded like gibberish cracks, like the voice of someone suffering from dehydration and starvation and were on their last legs.

Yang Qing activated the dao glyphs related to his yin yang jade bones, as his hair turned pure white, to try and sense more within those voices.

Gu Xing's eyes shone with surprise and interest when she detected the changes in Yang Qing, especially the dao markings that were shining through his robes. They were releasing a grand power that made her body tremble.

"Lion...grasp...... tyrant.... live ....... fly....'

With his dao markings activated, the incoherent mutterings became audible, though they were still scattered. After a few seconds of not getting anything other than scattered words here and there that made no sense even when strung together, Yang Qing dispelled his technique, to meet a marveled Gu Xing, who was staring wide-eyed at him.

Without meaning to, Yang Qing found himself blushing slightly from the intense gaze of the celestial sacred swan standing a few steps away from him.

"You're quite unique, Yang Qing.." Gu Xing softly said with a smile as she regained her composure.

His weak habit rearing its head, Yang Qing on reflex, smugly replied,

"It's to be expected..."

He hurriedly covered his mouth, secretly admonishing himself for the weak control of his mouth that kept blabbing things out without his control.

Luckily for him, Gu Xing didn't jump at the opportunity to tease him for it.

With her look turningto a grave seriousness, she said,

"One of those voices is from 38,000 years ago. It was from a lunar fury crane that had reached the palace realm. His voice is no longer present...back then he faced off against something, someone actually, a human cultivator.

The lunar fury crane, despite being stronger and having the advantage from the major parts of the fight, lost suddenly from a move from that human. The way he described that attack, it matched the sensation I felt from the figure.

His last words were a warning to anyone who would listen about being wary of that human. While I may not know the identity of that human, I have a few guesses on their identity.

38,000 years ago was roughly the time the founders of that kingdom came here, the Deer Mountain Kingdom.."
