Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 182: Mysterious Crystal
This time, listening to the voice of history didn't crack the relic; it scared him half to death!
That was… Emperor Shi and Mu Huiyin?
Was that the conversation between them when the Heroic Spirit Relic was built?
But why did Emperor Shi suddenly turn his head, as if he had discovered his spying!
The gaze came over and startled Shi Yu.
"You're cracking up?" Yu Shu and Wang Ling were bewildered.
Shi Yu looked at the two of them and then at the Heroic Spirit Relic.
After waiting a few seconds and discovering that Emperor Shi was not coming to catch him across the river of time, and that no heroic spirit of Emperor Shi was emerging, and that even the other heroic spirits in the relic were not moving, Shi Yu said to Yu Shu and the others:
"The water is too deep here, and the stakes are too high. I'm out. You guys have fun."
After warning the two, Shi Yu felt a little weak and wanted to go back and lie down for a while.
This time, Yu Shu and Wang Ling were dumbfounded again.
"What does that mean?"
Yu Shu said, watching Shi Yu leave.
He looked at Wang Ling.
Wang Ling said, "Didn't you hear what he said? I can only say that those who understand will understand, and it's difficult for me to explain to those who don't. Savor it carefully."
Yu Shu: What the heck???
…
Shi Yu came back not long after going out to play.
His brain was a bit of a mess right now, and he wanted some peace and quiet. The relic was too noisy.
Shi Yu began to recall the situation at that time from the beginning.
Triggering the voice of history was something Shi Yu had experienced many times, so there was nothing to say about that.
Judging from the conversation between the man and the woman in the image, their identities should undoubtedly be Emperor Shi and Mu Huiyin.
The Heroic Spirit Relic was built after the Totem War. At that time, the war had ended, and the Dong Huang Dynasty had basically completed its unification and was on the right track, marking the beginning of the Eastern Beast Taming Era.
After the dynasty got on track, Mu Huiyin seemed to have chosen to return to her hometown to guard the border of the dynasty.
Shi Yu could easily understand this. Bingyuan City had a special geographical location, close to the ocean.
During the Totem Era, the Glacier Totem had repeatedly led its people to fight with the totems in the ocean for resources.
After the Beast Taming Era, while the land totems were fighting with humans, the ocean totems also took advantage of the chaos to plunder.
But humans didn't have much of a way to deal with marine life. They would hide in the deep sea, as slippery as hiding in another dimension.
It wasn't until the Dragon Emperor's era that the Dragon Emperor reached an agreement with the underwater dragon race, and the Dragon Palace City dragon race became allies of the Dong Huang Dynasty, that the threat from the ocean to humans was reduced.
"Judging from the conversation, after driving out the totems, Emperor Shi didn't seem to have given up on conquest, but the target didn't seem to be the totems anymore."
"According to records, Emperor Shi was extremely powerful at the time. He led the Dong Huang Dynasty and was fully capable of continuing to wipe out the fleeing totems, just like Emperor Wu, but he didn't choose to do so… instead, he looked to a higher realm."
"Judging from the words of the Ice Dragon Great General, the Mythical Realm… immortality… Emperor Shi at that time was pursuing these???" Shi Yu sat on the bed, his brow furrowed.
Why did every emperor want to live forever and achieve mythical status?
But it seemed normal. After reaching that level… if they weren't pursuing these things, there wasn't much else to pursue.
Shi Yu was still young and didn't feel anything about this. He wasn't sure if he would rather die or live forever when he got old.
"So, the fall of the first-generation Dong Huang Dynasty was likely because Emperor Shi's conquest of the Mythical Realm, and they even found the lost mythical creatures, which led to the Dong Huang Dynasty encountering an unknown catastrophe?"
This was a very surprising but not very unexpected secret. It was normal for legendary Beast Tamers to pursue the Mythical Realm. Probably every Beast Tamer who reached that level did it, including but not limited to the legendary Beast Tamers of the Dong Huang Ancient Kingdom. The legends of other countries must have also pursued the Mythical Realm.
Even those totem alien races were pursuing advancement to mythic status.
Emperor Shi pursuing the Mythical Realm and the Dong Huang Dynasty possibly perishing because of mythical creatures were conjectures that even a high school student could guess. But without evidence, conjectures would always be conjectures and could not become true history.
But now, as Shi Yu saw the historical image, this conjecture became clearer. Emperor Shi was indeed preparing something. Even Emperor Shi had already found his target and knew that he might fail! Therefore, he left behind what he called many backup plans.
However, what puzzled Shi Yu the most was Emperor Shi's reaction at the time…
Weren't historical images recorded by the "Spirit of History" that was naturally generated? In theory, watching the historical image should only be like watching a recorded video. Why could the person in the video sense who was watching him? This dimensional wall was broken.
Or was it that there were parallel time-spaces of the past, present, and future, and Emperor Shi at that time, because he had mastered the power of time, could feel someone spying on him in the future.
Or, was there a heroic spirit of Emperor Shi in the relic?
"Do you know anything?"
Shi Yu asked the little sword spirit that came out of his chest.
"Mee?" The little sword spirit was puzzled.
"Ah…" Shi Yu was helpless. This was no longer the Ice Dragon Great General.
"Forget it, I'll get a good rest tonight and start investigating tomorrow," Shi Yu said.
Although he said that this relic was evil, the water was too deep, and the stakes were too high, Shi Yu still had to continue investigating.
He was the kind of person who would be cautious when encountering strange phenomena, but after calming down and carefully analyzing it, he would get angrier the more he thought about backing down.
"I'm a Beast Tamer recognized by the heroic spirit of General Mu Huiyin. I've made great contributions to the Dong Huang Dynasty, and the Ice Dragon that bled for it wants me to call it grandma. What am I afraid of! Even if Emperor Shi is still alive, with all these relationships, we're all family…"
After thinking it through, Shi Yu meditated and rested.
These few days, he had just strengthened his Beast Taming Space to level three. But Eleven evolved, broke through, Ginseng Baby broke through, Buggy evolved, broke through, and was possessed by the sword spirit again and again. Shi Yu felt that his Beast Taming Space seemed to have made considerable progress even though he hadn't cultivated much…
Although it wasn't enough to reach level four immediately, given him two or three months, it felt like there shouldn't be any problems.
Rather than feedback from the pets, Shi Yu felt like his space was too small, and the pets' successive breakthroughs had accidentally expanded it, or they wouldn't be comfortable staying there.
While cultivating, Shi Yu didn't forget to let Little Chi Tong, Eleven, and Ginseng Baby increase their relationship.
"Little Chi Tong, go to the relic and play with Eleven and Ginseng Baby."
"Use your Yang Flame to help them train their fire resistance. Yes, just burn them with fire."
Shi Yu found that Eleven, Ginseng Baby, and Buggy were all a little weak against fire.
A fire-type pet coming to his team would really be living the good life.
"Mee~!!" The little sword spirit was ignorant but very serious.
"Roar!!" A moment later, Eleven was extremely excited in the relic space. As long as the new teammate trained with it, everyone would be good friends!
As for Ginseng Baby, it was wearing a mask of pain. This wasn't training fire resistance; it was clearly training its healing ability… Compared to Eleven, it was obviously weaker to fire. Even though its level was very high, because it was a plant, it couldn't say it was unharmed even if it resisted the little sword spirit's super-level flames.
Of the three fire-weak guys in Shi Yu's team, only Buggy in the Beast Taming Space escaped the disaster because it was pregnant…
…
That night, Shi Yu heard a lot of noise.
A light flashed outside the window, and it seemed that someone else had been recognized by a heroic spirit.
After casually glancing at a few messages on his phone, Shi Yu discovered that it was just an ordinary heroic spirit and didn't pay any more attention to it.
Until the next morning.
Shi Yu came to the same place as yesterday again.
There were still many people here today, after all, it was already very late when the relic was unsealed yesterday.
There hadn't been enough time for many people to try summoning.
"It doesn't work."
Near the Heroic Spirit Relic, Shi Yu tried to find yesterday's feeling, but unfortunately, he couldn't enter that strange feeling again this time.
Of course, Shi Yu didn't believe in evil.
The relic altar hadn't cracked yet, so in theory, he should still be able to enter the listening state.
If it cracked directly like the Pingcheng stone statue and the Iron-eating Beast relic stone wall, Shi Yu wouldn't bother anymore. After all, the deceased were the greatest, but the problem was that it hadn't cracked yet.
"I'll eat breakfast, read a book for a while, and then come back."
Shi Yu turned around and left…
He decided to spend the remaining five days of military training with this relic.
As for longer, he really couldn't afford it, after all, he still had a bunch of pets to raise.
Next, morning, noon, and night, Shi Yu came to the relic altar area many times, mysteriously and secretly.
When others were summoning heroic spirits, he was chatting with the altar in the corner.
When others were accepting trials, he was paying respects to Emperor Shi in the corner.
When others were happily receiving soul seeds, Shi Yu was in a bad mood and really wanted to answer Emperor Shi's question, "Who's there."
In fact, because he missed Emperor Shi, Shi Yu specially found Director Li and Instructor Feng to apply to go up to the altar again when no one was around.
What if there really was a heroic spirit of Emperor Shi inside?
"Didn't you say you weren't going?"
"And you want to go when no one's around?"
Director Li and Instructor Feng looked at Shi Yu, their expressions stunned.
"I wasn't planning to go up, but I've made a new discovery. This is part of an important archaeological project."
"To avoid causing a big commotion again, it's better to pick a time when no one's around."
"If we have to go through the confidentiality agreement again, it'll be a hassle for you too."
Shi Yu coughed lightly and explained.
"Understood." Director Li and Instructor Feng looked at each other and nodded.
With Shi Yu's identity in the Bureau Eleven, this request wasn't difficult to fulfill.
Specially finding a late night when no one was around was also to avoid the embarrassing situation of Mu Huiyin's heroic spirit appearing again.
In short, although he was quite confused at first, Director Li and Instructor Feng immediately became excited after thinking about it.
Oh ho!
Shi Yu was about to make another major discovery!
Looking at Shi Yu's confident appearance…
Was it the heroic spirit of General Tianzhen this time, or General Zhenhai, or General Bailin?
Late at night.
With only Shi Yu, Director Li, and Instructor Feng present, Shi Yu stepped onto the altar again.
Looking at Shi Yu stepping onto the altar, the two masters revealed expectant expressions.
However, this time…
Shi Yu stood at attention on the altar for an hour.
Not to mention Emperor Shi's heroic spirit, not even the other heroic spirits appeared this time.
On the altar.
Shi Yu's expression was blank: "…"
The scene was once awkward.
This also made Director Li and the others have strange expressions.
Although they didn't know why Shi Yu suddenly wanted to step onto the altar again, in theory, Shi Yu had already obtained the recognition of General Mu Huiyin. With Shi Yu's aptitude, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain the recognition of other heroic spirits.
It wasn't unheard of for a talented Beast Tamer to be recognized by multiple heroic spirits.
Like Lu Qingyi at the time, she summoned seven or eight heroic spirits at once.
But Shi Yu's situation… was quite strange. He had clearly summoned the heroic spirit of the Ice Dragon Great General, but after that, no heroic spirits responded.
A moment later, Shi Yu came down.
He was still muttering to himself:
"I didn't expect General Mu Huiyin to be so unpopular with her comrades. The ancients really had a lot of prejudice against mixed-bloods." After coming down, Shi Yu blamed the lack of heroic spirits appearing on the little sword spirit.
Director Li, Instructor Feng: (⊙﹏⊙) So that's how it is.
…
In the next few days, Shi Yu still didn't give up.
He occasionally meditated, occasionally added points to his pets, but the main energy was still spent on reading.
The relic reserve collected a large number of antiques and historical materials from Emperor Shi's era, and Shi Yu planned to read them all in the next few days.
While understanding history, he chatted with the altar.
Therefore, famous scenes appeared again in the following days. Other students were trying to summon heroic spirits, and Shi Yu was reading. Other students were following the instructors and mentors to the edge of the undead battlefield for training, and Shi Yu was reading.
In these few days, the students of the Gudu University gained a lot.
The most gained were a group of Beast Tamers, including Shi Yu, Yu Shu, and Wang Ling, who had been recognized by heroic spirits.
After the relic was unsealed, 10 more people were recognized by heroic spirits after Shi Yu.
However, although these people had great ambitions and hoped to receive the same treatment as Shi Yu and be recognized by the Great General, reality was reality. The 10 people after that were all recognized by an ordinary heroic spirit, just like Tao Yi.
This was still not bad. After all, those who could leave behind traces of power left by Emperor Shi were all very strong, basically master-level Beast Tamers in their lifetime, the elite forces of the Dong Huang Dynasty. Their heroic spirits were basically king-level races, which was a very huge improvement for this group of students.
If nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely become elites in the battle club and candidates for the school team in a year or two, with the hope of competing in the national competition!
"Damn it." Inside the reserve, in a library, Shi Yu sat in a corner. After reading 116 books, he felt extremely bitter. The little sword spirit poked its head out and stayed by Shi Yu's side, fighting with him for the coolness of the air conditioner, making Shi Yu, who couldn't find any useful information, even more depressed.
"It's almost 1 o'clock."
"Military training will end tomorrow."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have named you Chi Tong. If I had called you Red Hair, maybe the relic would have given us more face…" Shi Yu fell into deep thought.
The little sword spirit was blank-faced. The Beast Tamer was saying strange nonsense again.
"Let's try one more time," Shi Yu said, seeing that it was getting dark and knowing that it was time for him to take action.
The Heroic Spirit Relic would be sealed after 12 o'clock, and there would be basically no one there, but Shi Yu had special privileges and could enter by himself.
In the past two days, Director Li and Instructor Feng had specially followed along, hoping to see some surprises, but after that, only Shi Yu was left to chat there late at night.
In the black night, under the moonlight.
Shi Yu walked on the altar again, looking at the relic under the moonlight.
"Still not speaking… I'll be leaving tomorrow, and I won't be back."
Relic: "…"
"I'm really leaving."
Shi Yu said "I'm leaving" more than a dozen times in a row.
Shi Yu was angry. He was already so humble.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to use reverse psychology on a heroic relic, a relic built by Emperor Shi. He was afraid that Emperor Shi would rise from the dead and beat him to death.
At two thirty in the morning.
Shi Yu was completely desperate and planned to come back when he had time in the future.
However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. The relic, which had not responded to his hundreds of "I'm leaving," changed after he turned around for real.
A rhombus-shaped crystal, accompanied by a faint light, floated out and slowly fell into Shi Yu's hand.
Shi Yu's expression changed slightly. This relic really had a "spirit."
But what was this thing again? It didn't look like a soul seed, and it didn't look like a resource… Where were the instructions…
