Chapter 176: Can Talk Now
Sun Zhe did not expect that Jingjing's move would have such great power. A hint of shock flashed in his eyes as he recalled Jingjing's sudden change. Worry immediately arose in Sun Zhe's heart, and he quickly got up. However, this simple action drenched him in sweat, and his face showed signs of unbearable pain.
"Jingjing..."
Using the Long Sword to support himself, Sun Zhe struggled to stand up and shouted loudly around him. He could feel that Jingjing was not dead and was nearby.
"Jingjing, what's wrong? Where are you?"
Sun Zhe's face showed urgency. Although he could sense that Jingjing was okay, the power of her move was truly overwhelming. He was genuinely afraid that something might have happened to her. Thinking of this, a sense of guilt arose within him; if he had stopped her or not entered this Cave, nothing would have happened.
"Jingjing, I'm sorry..."
"Brother Sun Zhe, Jingjing is here."
A childish voice suddenly rang in Sun Zhe's ears. He was taken aback; he felt that he had never heard this voice before, yet it strangely felt very familiar. Suddenly realizing something, Sun Zhe turned around and found Jingjing standing behind him, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him.
"Jingjing... how... how can you talk now..."
Sun Zhe's eyes were filled with disbelief. As far as he knew, ordinary beasts could only fly after reaching the fifth level, but to speak required reaching the seventh level in the Transcendence stage, known as Holy Rank. Only by becoming a Holy Beast could they speak like humans.
Of course, there were some peculiar beast species that did not have this limitation; they could talk as soon as they were born, just like humans. However, it was extremely rare for someone like Jingjing to start speaking halfway through her cultivation.
"I don't know either. I just felt there was something good to eat inside that cave. Then that bad guy knocked me against the stone wall right next to that good thing. I couldn't help but eat it because I was so hungry, and after that... I don't remember anything... then I woke up and could talk..."
Listening to Jingjing's slow explanation, Sun Zhe suddenly understood. It must have been that Jingjing unknowingly ate some precious material that stimulated her innate abilities, which is why she suddenly unleashed her power to save them both. Thinking of this made Sun Zhe break out in a cold sweat; if she had managed to resist her hunger at that moment... it seemed he couldn't stop her from eating in the future.
"But... Jingjing has become so ugly now; I don't want it like this... boohoo..." Jingjing's voice suddenly rang out again as she tugged at the feathers on her body and cried out childishly.
Sun Zhe then realized that the color of the feathers on this creature had changed. Originally, it was covered in purple feathers, but now it had turned completely pink. Its two claws remained unchanged, and those Big Eyes had become even cuter. The whole body looked more delicate and adorable; there were probably not many girls who wouldn't like such a creature.
It turned out that this creature preferred its original purple color, and now that it had turned pink, it immediately became unhappy. Hearing the creature's words, Sun Zhe couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, it's fine. This way, Jingjing is even cuter, and Sun Zhe brother likes this Jingjing even more."
"Really? Is it really cute like this?"
A hint of doubt flashed in the two shiny Big Eyes.
"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you? Let me ask you something, and you must answer me honestly. This concerns your own background." At this point, Sun Zhe also became serious.
"Go ahead..." The creature puffed out its chest and spoke as if it were very bold.
"Um, when you swallowed that material treasure, ah, the delicious thing of yours, the one on the stone wall..." Seeing the confused look on the creature's face, Sun Zhe helplessly explained again. Once he saw that the creature understood, he continued.
"When you swallowed that, do you remember what happened afterward? Did anything awaken in your memory? Think carefully; this is very important for your background."
Thinking of that supreme crimson figure, Sun Zhe couldn't help but slightly narrow his eyes. Even if it was just a condensed phantom, he could feel the overwhelming power emanating from that phantom capable of destroying everything. Now even if Jingjing was just an ordinary beast, he absolutely wouldn't believe it.
"No, nothing at all. Jingjing still only knows twenty-three Divine Abilities, and hasn't learned any more..." The creature shook its head helplessly and said with certainty.
In fact, seeing the creature's confused expression, Sun Zhe didn't have much hope. But when he heard that Jingjing actually knew twenty-three Divine Abilities, three black lines suddenly appeared on Sun Zhe's forehead. Twenty-three Divine Abilities, this was a blatant blow to him.
"You've mastered twenty-three Divine Abilities, so why do you always use those two Divine Abilities? Even against that bad guy you're dealing with, you could use other Divine Abilities, right? Haven't you mastered any of the others?"
Sun Zhe had never been jealous of anyone before, but now he finally had an object of jealousy. He had worked hard to master a single Divine Ability related to thunder for escaping purposes. Only that Slaughtering Seven Styles could compare to a Divine Ability, but he had only mastered the first style. Yet this creature could drink and sleep while suddenly possessing so many Divine Abilities. He couldn't help but feel jealous!
“Divine Ability Do I still need to master it? Jingjing doesn't know. It's just that the other Divine Abilities don't look good; those two are the only ones that look decent, so I just used those two…”
Blinking rapidly, the fellow earnestly explained to Sun Zhe, but he didn't notice that Sun Zhe had an impulse to spit blood.
“Alright, alright, it's fine. Let's not talk about this. Is that bad guy dead now?”
Sun Zhe really didn't dare to continue with this fellow; it was just too much to handle. Not needing to master Divine Ability, using it effortlessly, and even considering which Divine Ability looks better—this was ridiculous.
“He's dead, right over there.”
Following the direction pointed by the fellow, Sun Zhe slowly walked over and discovered that the corpse of Yin Yu Zhen Ren was surprisingly intact. However, upon closer inspection, he found that his soul had completely vanished without a trace; that mass of crimson light had directly devoured his soul.
“Don't look at me. If I make a move, I'll chop that bad guy into one hundred and nine pieces and use them to brew wine.” The fellow said in a childish tone as he noticed Sun Zhe's gaze.
“One hundred and nine pieces… What a ruthless guy.”
Sun Zhe smiled helplessly but then noticed that Yin Yu Zhen Ren was wearing an Ethereal Ring on his right hand. Sun Zhe slowly crouched down and took off the Ethereal Ring, extending his Divine Consciousness into it. A hint of shock flashed across his face; indeed, Yin Yu Zhen Ren was one of the top powerhouses on the continent. The items collected within this Ethereal Ring were quite substantial. Besides a small amount of True Essence of Spirit Medicine, there were also numerous scrolls of techniques.
With a flash of light, two items suddenly appeared in Sun Zhe's hand.
One was the Thunder Giant Sword shimmering with Purple Light. Initially, there were four Thunder Giant Swords, and Yin Yu Zhen Ren possessed one of them; now it had been handed over to Sun Zhe.
The other item was a crimson scroll, exuding a strong bloody aura as if it had just been fished out from a Blood Pool.
Blood Wheel Transformation Technique
Seeing these six characters, Sun Zhe couldn't help but be stunned. He remembered that Yin Yu Zhen Ren seemed to be cultivating this Blood Wheel Transformation Technique to restore his cultivation and appeared to hold it in high regard. Thinking of this, Sun Zhe couldn't help but open it up for a look. As soon as he opened the scroll, the bloody aura intensified threefold.
"The first transformation requires a thousand types of blood, the second transformation requires ten thousand types of blood, and the third transformation requires a hundred thousand types of blood... What a cruel technique..."
Looking at this sinister technique, Sun Zhe couldn't help but frown. Although the effects of this technique were indeed remarkable, it still made Sun Zhe feel uneasy. Setting aside the other materials that needed to be prepared, just the thought of slaughtering countless beings for these thousands and tens of thousands of types of blood made Sun Zhe contemplate destroying it. However, after some thought, he ultimately placed it into the Ethereal Ring.
Gazing at the corpse of Yin Yu Zhen Ren lying on the ground, Sun Zhe suddenly remembered something. He lightly brushed his left hand over the Ethereal Ring, and another scroll appeared in his hand. As soon as this scroll was taken out, a dense aura of Death Qi immediately emanated from it.
Reanimation Technique
Three large black characters appeared on the front of the scroll. This was precisely the scroll that Sun Zhe obtained from Zhou Qi's Ethereal Ring. The Five Element Corpse that Zhou Qi had refined was one such technique.
Later, Sun Zhe looked at the description on the Reanimation Technique. In reality, what Zhou Qi had refined did not even qualify as a true Five Element Corpse. A Five Element Corpse requires corpses with attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth for refinement, while Zhou Qi had chosen three corpses that were all of thunder attribute, which did not meet the specifications at all. Therefore, the power of that Five Element Corpse was far from what was imagined.
The Reanimation Technique recorded a total of twenty-one methods for reanimation techniques: eleven low-level techniques, seven intermediate techniques, and only three advanced techniques. The Five Element Corpse was merely the lowest level among these reanimation techniques.
The advanced Reanimation Techniques required extremely high-level corpses. For example, one type called Yin Huai Iron Corpse's Reanimation Technique required a corpse at the Thunder Emperor level or above to be refined in Extreme Yin Land. Setting aside the materials needed for this technique, there were very few experts at the Thunder Emperor level across the entire continent, and Extreme Yin Land was exceedingly rare. However, the power of this Yin Huai Iron Corpse could completely rival that of late-stage Thunder Lords.
Looking at the corpse of Yin Yu Zhen Ren on the ground and then glancing at the ruins of the Cave, a hint of contemplation appeared in Sun Zhe's eyes.
