20demayo Chapter 10 The Celestial Crystal Beast Recognizes Its Master
Chapter 10 The Celestial Crystal Beast Recognizes Its Master
Nighttime, inside the Nuwa Temple.
The trembling of the Heavenly Crystal Egg became more and more violent.
Inside the purple beam of light, the patterns on the eggshell surface began to radiate a dazzling light.
Wu Yi, having finished dealing with post-war matters, has arrived here.
"It'll be out soon," Shenwu said softly.
Wu Yi nodded and stood quietly in front of the Divine Pool.
Jingxie lay lazily at his feet, its huge pincers casually resting on the ground, its eyes half-closed, looking as if it might fall asleep at any moment.
The Divine Dance perched on Wu Yi's shoulder, its golden feathers shimmering in the light of the Divine Pool, as if draped in a soft glow.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind.
Nangong Wentian pulled Nangong Wenya in, both children's faces beaming with excitement.
"Dad! You're amazing!" Nangong Wenya rushed over and hugged Wu Yi's leg.
Nangong Wentian nodded vigorously, "Father, you're amazing! Even that great demon, the Lord of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, is no match for you!"
Wu Yi looked down at the two children and reached out to pat their heads.
"We will become even stronger in the future."
His gaze returned to the Heavenly Crystal Egg in the Divine Pool.
Wu Yi was not simply there to watch the Tianjing Beast hatch.
He had another idea.
Although Jingxie is strong, it is ultimately a cooperative relationship. He and Jingxie have a tacit understanding of fighting side by side, but there is still an invisible barrier between them.
The cooperation can be terminated at any time, and everyone goes their separate ways.
But the divine weapons that recognize a master are different.
Only by recognizing a master can a divine weapon truly merge with its master and become an inseparable force.
Jingxie belongs to the Eastern Sea and cannot stay in Nangong City forever.
However, the Heavenly Crystal Beast originally belonged to the Nangong family.
Wu Yi wanted to test whether this legendary first divine weapon beast could deny him as its master.
In addition...
Since the goal is to seek enlightenment in the mortal world, if a divine weapon or beast recognizes its master, can it also travel through time together and become his power in other worlds?
When he first transmigrated, the invasion of the Heaven and Earth Alliance was imminent, and he needed to find a solution as soon as possible. Now that things have calmed down, Wu Yi felt that he could try more things to explore the functions of the noodle board.
Just as Wu Yi was pondering this, the Heavenly Crystal Egg in the Divine Pool suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white light.
The eggshell cracked.
White light surged out from the crack like a tide, instantly engulfing the entire Nuwa Temple.
Wu Yi subconsciously squinted, and a hissing sound reached his ears.
That was the first cry of a newborn divine beast, full of vitality and boundless potential.
As the light gradually faded, a divine beast with a pure blue body slowly stretched out its body in the divine pool.
It resembles a Qilin, with its four hooves treading on faint auspicious clouds, and its body covered with a layer of crystal-clear scales that shimmer with a warm, jade-like luster under the moonlight.
Green mane stretched from the top of his head to his back, brimming with life. In the center of his forehead, a crimson gem glowed faintly, like a beating heart.
Celestial Crystal Beast!
The legendary first divine beast has finally been born.
"So beautiful..." Nangong Wenya opened her mouth wide, her eyes sparkling.
Nangong Wentian was also engrossed in watching, his face full of amazement.
But Wu Yi's attention was not on the appearance of the Heavenly Crystal Beast.
He stared into the eyes of the Celestial Beast.
Those eyes were clear as water, yet they were not ignorant or naive.
The Celestial Beast was born with intelligence and was now quietly looking back at Wu Yi, its gaze filled with a mixture of scrutiny and expectation.
A subtle emotion permeated the air.
Jingxie slowly opened its half-closed eyes, its huge pincers slightly opening.
Shenwu gently folded her wings and held her breath.
They all sensed it.
This is a choice.
The Celestial Beast stepped slowly out of the Divine Pool on auspicious clouds.
It circled around Wu Yi, its emerald green eyes scanning him from head to toe. Then it stopped and fixed its gaze on the Dragon Soaring Sword at Wu Yi's waist.
This is just an ordinary weapon. Although it is considered top-grade among ordinary weapons, it is far inferior to divine weapons.
However, as Nangong Yi's ever-present sword, the Dragon Soaring Sword is a witness to his growth in swordsmanship.
At this moment, the Heavenly Crystal Beast seemed to see Nangong Yi's past in the way of swordsmanship through this long sword.
The Celestial Beast seemed to have made a decision at that moment.
It lowered its head, and the crimson gem mark on its forehead slowly approached Wu Yi's palm.
In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the point of contact between the two.
Wu Yi felt a surge of immense power, like a torrent bursting its banks, flow from the Heavenly Crystal Beast's forehead into his arm and spread throughout his body along his meridians.
That power wasn't cold energy, but rather seemed to carry warmth and emotion.
Wu Yi sensed the will and determination of the Heavenly Crystal Beast from it.
Similarly, the Heavenly Crystal Beast also sensed the indomitable will in Wu Yi's swordsmanship, his composure and determination when facing the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and the deep-seated belief in his heart that did not belong to this world and that he would never bow down to fate!
hum!
A deep humming sound emanated from Wu Yi's body.
The voice did not come from the outside world, but from the depths of his soul.
Immediately afterwards, a semi-transparent panel slowly unfolded in his mind.
【Red Dust Panel】
Wu Yi's gaze sharpened.
The eight large characters on the panel, "Traversing the Heavens, Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World," remained as clear as ever, but beneath these eight characters, a new line of text appeared that had never been seen before.
[Divine Weapon Recognizes Its Master: Celestial Crystal Beast]
[Contract Level: Soul Binding]
Below these lines of text was an additional message that made Wu Yi's heart beat a little faster.
[Soul Bond: The host can bring this contractor along when traversing various realms without consuming additional energy.]
Travel with them.
You guessed it!
Wu Yi took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.
This means that when he has accumulated enough energy to travel through the next realm, the Celestial Beast can leave with him.
It is not an appendage of this world, but his true companion, no matter which world he goes to.
Of course, another point is that no matter what the starting situation is, Wu Yi will always have a certain amount of strength at hand, so things won't be too bad.
"City Lord."
The voice of the Celestial Beast rang in Wu Yi's heart. It was no longer the childish and distant tone from the eggshell, but a clear and steady one, carrying an innate majesty.
"From this day forward, my strength will be your strength."
"Your battle is my battle!"
Wu Yi looked down at the Heavenly Crystal Beast and saw his own reflection in its emerald green eyes.
"Okay," Wu Yi said, uttering only one word.
There were no unnecessary formalities, no unnecessary sentimentality.
He understood that the Heavenly Crystal Beast chose him not because of his status as the city lord of Nangong City, nor because of his reputation as the number one swordsman of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, but because of his recent actions.
Courageous and resourceful, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
As the light faded, the contract between the human and the beast was finally sealed.
Jingxie slowly retracted its pincers with a muffled thud.
Shenwu gently spread her wings and let out a melodious murmur, as if offering a blessing for the newfound bond.
But Wu Yi's attention remained on the mortal world panel.
After the contract was established, the text on the panel changed.
Next to the information about the Celestial Beast, a brand new entry appeared.
