Chapter 70
So, it won't admit its mistake.
The spirit's tone was firm.
Jiang Mingyan's eyes fluctuated for a moment, complex and difficult to identify.
He lowered his eyes slightly and responded.
On this point, Jiang Mingyan believed in the judgment of the spirit of the weapon.
"Aside from you and Sui Sui, the last time I sensed the presence of the spirit race was decades ago." The weapon spirit fell into reminiscence. "I don't remember what happened tens of thousands of years ago. I just woke up from my coma and lost part of my body and memory."
"The once bustling scene sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming silent and empty..."
The weapon spirit's voice was distant: "I have been guarding here, making all preparations for the birth of the little Eldar... Unfortunately, there is no altar in the dark seabed... And only the Eldar can build an altar to give birth to Eldar."
"Tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye, until a few decades ago, when the news of the newly born Eldar came from the distant north of Beiming Continent..."
"But it was only for a moment, and my perception was blocked by a powerful force. I have never seen the elves born in the north of Beiming Continent. You and Sui Sui are the only two elves I have seen since I woke up from the bottom of the sea." The spirit of the weapon sighed.
"Yueyue, don't be sad." The next moment, the little fat boy's milky voice sounded, like a round little milk cake that suddenly appeared, rushing around and knocking away all the loss.
"Sui Sui and brother are accompanying Yue Yue now!"
Jiang Mingyan seemed to have expected this, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
He turned his head to look over.
The little fat boy had walked behind the bookshelf closest to him at some point, with only his fluffy little head poking out. His beautiful round eyes were moist and shiny, like the bright stars in the night sky. He almost immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers and made Jiang Mingyan's handsome face look even softer.
He put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked over.
Suisui tilted his round little face up, put his chubby paws behind his back, and grinned at his brother in a silly way: "Brother~"
Looking down at the chubby calico cat's face, how could Jiang Mingyan not know the purpose of this little guy?
He glanced at the big black dog lying calmly on the ground not far behind the cub.
The big black dog turned its head away and didn't meet the gaze of the awe-inspiring gray-robed swordsman.
Don't look at the dog, it knows nothing.
Jiang Mingyan sneered and looked away.
He took out a clean handkerchief, squatted in front of the cub, and gently wiped the spiritual juice off the cub's face.
Suisui's little face is tender, plump with soft flesh, round curves, and feels great to the touch.
Jiang Mingyan wiped his round face clean, but his fingertips couldn't help but stay there. With a little force, a soft little pit appeared.
Sui Sui was not at all surprised by his brother's behavior. He just hummed secretly in his heart - Zi knew it, no one can match Zi's round face!
The little fat boy thought proudly while tilting his furry head, and took out his two little hands hidden behind his back and raised them high.
"Brother, Sui Sui's hands are dirty too~"
"I know." Jiang Mingyan held the two little paws and wiped them clean bit by bit with a handkerchief.
"Sui Sui is so good~" The little fat boy let his brother wipe the sticky hands, and said: "Sui Sui sat on the chair and finished eating the fruit obediently. He came here because his hands were dirty~"
"Along the way, Suisui kept his hands behind his back and didn't touch the books in the library!" the little fat boy emphasized loudly.
Looking at the little guy whose left eye was filled with pride and whose right eye was filled with "Praise me!", Jiang Mingyan put away the dirty handkerchief and picked up Sui Sui with a smile: "Is that so... Our Sui Sui is really well-behaved, a very, very good child."
The little fat boy raised the corner of his mouth and said reservedly: "That's it."
The spirit of the weapon watched the interaction between the two little elves quietly. The loneliness that inevitably arose from being immersed in the cold sea water for a long time seemed to be dissipated by the childish voices.
It smiled silently.
Jiang Mingyan sat back in the chair holding Suisui.
Suisui clung to his brother's arm, stretched out his little head to look forward, then blinked his round eyes innocently and retracted his head as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Mingyan paused slightly, then pretended not to notice the cub's clumsy cover-up.
"Hmph, cough, cough..." The little fat cub didn't know his brother had decided to let him go, and he was still diligently adding bricks and tiles to his disguise: "Brother, Yueyue just said that he found traces of the spirit race in the north of Beiming Continent. Could that be A Niang and Aunt?"
As he spoke, the little fat boy also became serious: "Yes, we are the spirits, and my father is human, so my mother must be a spirit! Since my mother was not born in the Fallen Sea, she must have been born in the north of Beiming Continent!"
The little fat boy's baby voice became a little hurried and jumbled at the end, but Jiang Mingyan agreed with Sui Sui's idea.
He asked the weapon spirit, "Yueyue, let's not talk about me and Suisui for now. Since the spirit race must be born through an altar, then besides the Falling Sea, are there any other places where the spirit race has an altar?"
"The Meteoric Sea is actually called the Spiritual Sea." The spirit of the weapon sighed softly.
It just spoke from its heart and didn't elaborate further: "Where there is light, there is darkness. All the powerful tribes in the Qianyuan Realm have hidden pains."
"The Eldar's worry is that new Eldar will have difficulty being born."
Sui Sui tilted his head in confusion: "Why?"
Jiang Mingyan had some guesses.
Sure enough, the weapon spirit's explanation confirmed his thoughts: "Spiritual Qi is chaotic and powerful, but souls that can merge with it and become spirits are extremely rare. Perhaps only one such soul will be born in thousands of years."
"Without a soul, spiritual energy is just spiritual energy, a force to be controlled by humans, not a spirit."
Suisui nodded, not quite understanding.
"Therefore, the Eldar attach great importance to the altar, and to ensure the safety of the newly born Eldar, they insist on building the altar only within the tribe's territory. However, there are always some Eldar who want to create miracles. They will secretly build the altar in their own secret base, hoping to create a surprise and shock everyone."
The weapon spirit's voice tinged with laughter. "It's a lovely idea, isn't it? The Eldar's territory, no matter where it is, is always safe—and, time will prove, only the altar within the tribe's territory can give birth to the Eldar. Therefore, the tribe leader always turns a blind eye to the actions of these young Eldar."
"Wow~" Sui Suiyuan's eyes lit up.
Building an altar sounds magical.
Jiang Mingyan's eyebrows jumped, and he pressed down the few strands of hair that were sticking up on the little fat boy's head.
In order to contain Sui Sui's eager little feet and also to seek answers, Jiang Mingyan asked the spirit weapon directly: "What is in the clan land? The things in the clan land are the indispensable part of the birth of the spirit race, right?"
Sui Sui looked up eagerly.
Although he couldn't see where the spirit of the weapon was, the desire in the little fat boy's dark round eyes was about to overflow.
"I don't know." The spirit didn't hide it. "But for the spirit race to be born, the things in the clan land, the altar built by the spirit race themselves, the spiritual energy, and a strong enough new soul are all indispensable."
The little fat boy looked listless.
"Back in the northern part of Beiming Continent, the spirits must have left behind an altar. Coincidentally, the items that had been taken from their land were also nearby," the spirit said calmly. "So, while I'm eager to see the spirits again, I also know that the spirits born in the northern part of Beiming Continent are in danger."
"Perhaps they have been surviving at the hands of the one behind the destruction of the Eldar."
The spirit of the weapon fell silent.
Jiang Mingyan's eyes darkened slightly.
Suisui has never hidden anything from his brother.
The little fat boy told his brother everything about his dreams, except for the ones he couldn't remember.
Therefore, combining the words of the weapon spirit with the dream that Sui Sui had told him about his mother and aunt, Jiang Mingyan was almost certain that the newborn spirit race in the north of Beiming Continent decades ago were his mother and aunt.
However, the past cannot be changed.
Jiang Mingyan hugged the little fat boy tightly and looked down at the book in his hand - all he could do was to take every step carefully and steadily.
"The information about the pure spirit body has not been found yet. Would you like to come and read the book with your brother?" So, the elder brother asked the little fat boy softly.
Some of the little ones who were caught off guard had their eyes wide open: Sui Sui was clearly trying to avoid reading! How did things end up going in the direction they were trying so hard to avoid?
The kitten's stunned look of shock eased some of the heaviness in Jiang Mingyan's heart and brought a hint of smile to his lips: Wasn't the kitten's mind focused on building the altar just now?
Only by reading more books can you know how to build an altar.
The elder brother naturally turned the book in his hand to the position he had just seen, and considerately lowered it a little to ensure that the little fat boy could clearly see the words on it.
The little fat boy looked up with grievance: "Okay, I'll just look..."
snort!
Jiang Mingyan just happened to see a new chapter, so he whispered to the little fat boy: "This is about spiritual patterns."
Spiritual patterns are a sign that every spirit is born with. They are located on the forehead, are gilded in color, and come in various shapes.
However, there are also a very small number of spirit races whose spirit patterns are in a state of 'invisibility' since birth, and no one can see them. Only when the clan leader uses spiritual power to activate the Tianyu pen, and golden light is directed on the forehead, will the spirit pattern appear.
These elves often have better talents than the rest of their kind and cultivate faster.
"It is said that the Tianyu Pen is a spiritual weapon left by the Heavenly Dao to the first spirit race in the world. Those spirit races whose spiritual patterns are invisible will be blessed by the Heavenly Dao and are the most favored children of the Heavenly Dao." Jiang Mingyan slowly told Sui Sui the records in the book.
He had no objection to the previous records, but Jiang Mingyan was somewhat hesitant about the last few sentences.
The elves believe that they are all children of Heaven, and are favored by Heaven.
But the Taoist scriptures that Jiang Mingyan had been exposed to since childhood always told him: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs.
When it comes to cultivation, you have to climb step by step on your own.
...Moreover, when faced with a favored child, would Heaven allow rivers of blood to flow overnight and the clan’s land to be reduced to ruins?
Seeing the chubby kid who just stared at the book for a while and whose expression gradually became dazed, Jiang Mingyan's eyes softened - perhaps the way of heaven always has many considerations, but as a brother who gave all his favoritism to one kid, Jiang Mingyan could not understand.
He turned the book to the next page.
This page talks about pure spirits.
The pure spiritual body is a physique unique to the spirit race. It is pure and flawless and will not encounter any obstacles during cultivation.
No matter how much spiritual power flows into their bodies, they can swallow it all without any effort.
The elves are a race born from spiritual energy, and pure spiritual bodies enhance this characteristic.
The spirit race with a pure spiritual body will have a red mole on the spiritual pattern on their forehead at the moment the pure spiritual body awakens.
With just a glance, Jiang Mingyan took in all the information on the pages.
He couldn't help but touch the bright red mole on Sui Sui's forehead, which was dotted among the gilded spiritual patterns.
Every year, the red mole appears first, and then the spiritual pattern appears. Although this is slightly different from what is said in the book, it does not prevent Jiang Mingyan from relaxing the tension in his heart.
The elves have been silent for tens of thousands of years, and such secret information as pure spiritual bodies has naturally been lost in the long river of time along with the silence of the elves.
Perhaps some of the well-established Zhongzhou families or Jiuli Immortal Sects still have some ancient books that record the matter of pure spiritual bodies, but the Jiang family was originally just a small family, and was able to occupy Wu'an City with the help of Jiang Zhenyu.
The Jiang family might be considered a large family in Wuzhou, but in the entire Qianyuan Realm, they were nothing. Therefore, it was normal for them to mistake Sui Sui for a spirit-devouring entity.
"Brother, what's wrong?" The little fat boy turned his head and looked at his brother obediently and softly with his wet black eyes.
In fact, Jiang Mingyan's actions such as turning pages and summarizing information are very fast, and it only takes a moment, but what is the fat boy doing now? The boy is sitting in front of the book!
Naturally, every day feels like a year!
The slightest thing wrong with his brother was magnified many times in the eyes of the little fat boy. What's more, his brother even touched Sui Sui's forehead!
The little fat boy thought with confidence that he was just concerned about his brother.
I don't mean to be lazy.
Jiang Mingyan glanced at the little kid in his arms with a half-smile, who was looking at him with innocent eyes and tilted his round face upwards. He slowly told him the information about the pure spirit and his own guesses.
"Then Brother won't have to worry about this anymore?" The little fat boy's face flushed with excitement. "Brother, you can go to any sect you want!"
Jiang Mingyan was stunned.
Sui Sui's beautiful eyes twinkled, filled with anticipation: "Isn't that right?"
"No." Jiang Mingyan lowered his eyes, his voice cold, and took the little guy into his arms.
Everything went dark, and the little chubby boy, with his chubby face pressed against his brother's sturdy chest, said: "???"
Why are you angry, brother? This is obviously a good thing.
Sui Sui's little face puffed up, like a round cat that was suddenly picked up, confused and a little unhappy.
"I don't want to join the sect. Of course, my age is a factor, but my unwillingness to be bound by constraints is also a major reason." Jiang Mingyan said calmly, "My age is the driving force that supports me to move forward. How could it hinder my choice?"
The little fat boy who was a little angry at his brother's cold voice slowly melted into a ball of happy soft pancake~
Sui Sui knows how important he is to his brother.
Because brother is so important to Suisui!
"Besides, we don't know when we can get out. It's too early for Suisui to join the sect now." Jiang Mingyan said lightly.
!
What?
The soft pancake solidified.
