Chapter 169 Reminiscing about the past
"You mean to say that its fine silk has the power to move mountains and overturn seas?"
Bai Lan suddenly realized something and continued cursing, "I've been suppressed for too long, so long that I've forgotten who I am, the power of the map! And the peace of this beast world! Second brother, fourth brother, don't worry, I won't go out and wander around anymore. Together with you, I will revive the map and protect the peace of the beast world!"
"Old Five, it's good that you figured it out. We all need your abilities. Now, can you tell me about the runes?"
"Hey... this is a long story! Do you remember when we were cultivating in Cuiping Mountain? It all started with our masters..."
Everyone gathered around Bai Lan, waiting for him to tell his story. Bai Lan's hands were busy gathering the torso and limbs of Yutu one by one and putting them into his animal hide bag.
Bai Lan fell into reminiscence and slowly said, "Our masters each have their own unique abilities. My master is very skilled in rune divination and can see into the future. I was also fortunate enough to receive his guidance and have learned a little bit.
By chance, I saw a mysterious rune stone in his place, which had some strange symbols engraved on it. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but just thought the stone was beautiful, so I secretly took it away.
Later, while studying the stone, I accidentally triggered the runes on it and was transported to an unfamiliar place. There, I met an old man who told me that this rune stone contained immense power and that only by finding several other similar rune stones could I unlock its secrets. With that, he disappeared.
I searched everywhere and finally found several more rune stones in a cave. When I put them together, a flash of light shot up into the sky, and then I lost consciousness. When I awoke, the rune stones were nowhere to be found. By the time I returned to Cuiping Mountain, the battle between the Dark Demon and my masters had ended, and you were nowhere to be found. I found these disaster runes in my master's notebook and inscribed them on the center of the map, hoping someone would understand them and prepare for defense soon. Unexpectedly, I was pursued by the Dark Demon's men, and I fled for my life, ending up here.
"At that time, our masters each had a piece of jade with different runes engraved on it. My master's jade had a flame engraved on it, which was said to represent the power of fire. I'm not sure about the runes on the other jades, but I know they represent different powers."
Bai Lan sighed and continued, "These runes are actually an ancient formation. Only by gathering all the jade stones can the formation be activated and the map be revived. However, after so many years, I still haven't found any other jade stones."
Mona and Long Ying fell into deep thought after hearing this, Jin Jue rolled his eyes, Bixi, Qingli, Chiyan and Wushuang looked confused, and Bai Chen seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Bai Chen, you seem to have something to say!"
"Elder Guiyuan, I have a bold guess. If it's wrong, please forgive me, the three seniors!"
"Hurry up and tell me, you're so hesitant. It's not like I'm a member of the Spirit Fox tribe at all. It's really embarrassing!"
"I just heard from Senior Bai Lan that he found a rune from his master, and then, under the guidance of the old man, he found another rune. They combined the two runes, and then that rune shot straight into the sky, creating a huge energy fluctuation. Then he fainted."
"That's right, no need to repeat what I said, you are not fools!"
Bai Lan angrily confronted Bai Chen, but Bai Chen remained undeterred and continued:
"Could it be that the rune just happened to fall on our continent?"
"You mean the Phoenix Clan? They're talking about the Earth Spirit."
Mona was a little surprised that she and Bai Chen had the same opinion. Mona continued:
"Several runes merged into one, forming the Earth Spirit. The guiding elder was a Di Ting (listening) man, so the beads possess the Di Ting ability, allowing them to read other people's thoughts."
After hearing their analysis, Long Ying could no longer sit still and added.
"There are five more pieces of jade? Could they be the Five Elements Spiritual Pearls representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth? But these Five Elements Spiritual Pearls were brought to the Qilin Secret Realm by Elder Guiyuan."
"We need to ask Elder Guiyuan where they came from."
"Now that you mention it, it does make sense. The runes on the rune stone were combined before the Dark Lord fought against our five masters."
"The Five Elements Spiritual Pearls were formed from the remaining power of our masters. I fled with them to another continent. So when I sealed the Sea Demon God, I kept saying that I would use the Five Elements Spiritual Pearls and the Earth Spirit to purify his evil nature."
"Your speculation is completely reasonable. Not bad. I didn't expect that the kid from my tribe is quite clever. He has completely inherited my genes."
Bai Lan trembled and looked at Bai Chen from left to right.
"Well, not bad, not bad. He is still a boy from my fox clan, handsome and beautiful. He is also smart and has a faster reaction. Little female, you must treat this naughty boy of our family well."
Everyone was at a loss for words. They had never seen anyone so boastful. Several beastly husbands were so angry that they wanted to beat him up. What should they do?
"Senior Bai Lan, how do you explain the disaster rune on the belly of the map? Is it the same as what our priest said?"
"Tell me about it, and see if you priests are any good enough to survey the earth and the sky!"
Priest Yun stepped forward and reiterated his and the young priest's opinions. Initially, Bai Lan was quite dismissive, as his master had praised his exceptional talent, his profound wisdom in rune cultivation and divination, and that with more practice, he would be the best among the priests. But today, seeing these two juniors explain his runes so clearly and accurately, he realized how self-righteous he had been. There's always someone better than you! Convinced! Bai Lan, having finally figured it out, dropped his usual arrogance and spoke softly, his aura radiating:
"The two priests have such profound skills, comparable to those of powerful priests. Even an old man like me admires them!"
Everyone was a little surprised. This old man must have taken the wrong medicine. He changed his previous sharp tongue and arrogance and became humble and elegant! Everyone was still a little bit uncomfortable with this. Bai Lan continued:
"In that case, let's follow the priest's instructions and make preparations."
Bai Lan stroked his chin and continued his analysis calmly, "The most urgent task right now is to find the other spirit beads and the Earth Spirit. Do you have any clues?"
The hall fell silent for a moment, and the beasts looked at each other in bewilderment. But none of them said a word, waiting for Bai Lan's opinion.
At this time, Bai Lan spoke again: "As far as I know, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl was taken to the Qilin Clan by the Fourth Brother. Let's go get the Five Elements Spirit Pearl first. As for the Earth Spirit, I heard that it is in the ruins of an ancient volcano. Maybe we can find it there. After all, we are destined to be together."
"Ruins?" A hint of doubt flashed in Bai Chen's eyes. "Do you know where the ruins are located?"
Bai Lan shook his head and raised his hand to count on his fingers. "We only know the approximate location, which is southwest of us. We still need to find the specific location ourselves."
"Don't look for me anymore, I'm right here!" Long Sha walked out from the crowd in the southwest direction. Everyone dispersed to both sides, making way for a path.
