Chapter 1048 Different Roots
Davis was about to soothe Xiao Meili’s psyche so that she does not make this place a mess or humiliate herself, but fortunately, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
Nadia didn’t have a change of expression at all. After seeing so many Spirit Attribute Sources, she was rather getting bored and remained indifferent to its ghastly image. Compared to her master’s mysterious yet terrifying energy, she felt that it was lackluster.
On the other hand, Evelynn possessed a determined expression on her face while her brows were furrowed. She knew that she had to absorb this wretched, ugly, and truly disgusting face into her dantian to improve her cultivation and law comprehension. Otherwise, it was possible that she would be unable to catch up to her husband or her two sisters anytime soon.
Davis noticed her expression, and inwardly nodded his head. Her eyes didn’t waver at all. If it were the Evelynn of the past, he knew that she would be like Xiao Meili right now, ending up terrified and disgusted by the shape of these Poison Essences.
Indeed, it wasn’t just this Poison Essence that took a ghastly shape of a rotting face. Out of the six Poison Essences, three of them possessed sinister shapes!
Poison Essences tend to mostly take the shape of what, where, and why they were formed from, but they also possessed the tendency to constantly change shapes to their discretion. Right now, Davis could see that this Peak-Level Sky Grade Poison Essence took the shape of a ghastly human face to intimidate them.
’Heh! Even though numerous formations imprison it, it still has the mood to scare us... Is this it’s nature, something that all Poison Essences are born with?’ Davis mused before he looked at Xiao Meili.
"What’s this stupid face’s name and origin?"
"Eh? Oh..." Xiao Meili understood before she nodded her head, "Its name is Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn."
"As for its origin and powers, please give me a moment."
She hesitatingly looked at the ghastly green face before she walked up to the sealed gate. However, she moved to the side four steps away before knowingly stepping on an invisible mechanism.
"Not at all... I just find it interesting. It makes me curious..."
Xiao Meili looked at his honest expression before she nodded his head.
"My father told me that it’s a name from another language that has been lost to time. I don’t know its name, but he also mentioned how our names were common in ancient times but not so now, but we still continue the tradition and keep it so that we can honor our ancestors."
"You don’t know the name of the language?" Davis became a bit amused.
Xiao Meili shook her head, "We use a name list that has been passed down for generations and generations."
’What...? Are they using a name list? How long are they keep upholding this tradition for...?’ Davis became flabbergasted and wanted to ask, but it was rather obvious that Xiao Meili knew nothing.
"So, you don’t even know what Meili means?"
"I know that... It means beautiful and graceful." Xiao Meili giggled.
Davis couldn’t help but smile.
Clearly, it was Chinese but not Mandarin or Cantonese or any other dialect for that matter. It was probably way old and advanced but became redundant after the birth of Sky Word Language, just like how every other language and literature studies became irrelevant to cultivators.
The Sky Word Language was said to be directly introduced to every cultivator living at that time to unite humanity. Perhaps, only mortals who forgot about the Sky Word Language after that particular generation failed to pass on were fighting about their regional languages at this point.
This made him think if the Chinese Language didn’t originate on Earth in the first place but made an appearance from some other place. Its fantastical history that had ’Cultivation’ and ’Heaven’ also came to be true once he came to this cultivation world, proving that it had roots in the cultivation world. However, it could also be said to be the same about every other culture in some instances.
There was a spatial formation connecting the Grand Sea Continent and the Earth, so he wasn’t surprised to think if there might be another spatial formation that might lead to somewhere else but just hadn’t been found.
The Twelve Vile Vortices on Earth that denied him entry were suspicious as hell in regarding this matter!
