Capítulo 1671: Chapter 1672: A Unique Ability
As the group ascended the stairs, the solemn and dignified statues around them made their movents involuntarily gentle, and even Feng Yuan lowered his voice a bit when speaking. Xiao Ji looked around curiously, feeling a bit strange amidst this serious setting, but not exactly uncomfortable.
The oppressive atmosphere made Xiao Ji’s feathers cling tightly to its body, as it sidled closer to Feng Yuan. Xiao Ji cast a resentful glance at him, but Feng Yuan’s attention was entirely absorbed by the decorations, oblivious to Xiao Ji’s discomfort. Agunas, noticing Xiao Ji’s unease, spoke up,
“Aren’t you going to check on Xiao Ji? It seems unwell.”
“Oh? Hey, it really is.”
Turning his head and seeing Xiao Ji’s stiff appearance, Feng Yuan instantly understood, picked it up, and started stroking its feathers as he said,
“You, if you’re uncomfortable, just say so, but this place really is a bit too oppressive.”
Even though there wasn’t any special energy present, the decorations set within instilled an inescapable feeling of solemnity in their minds. Besides Feng Yuan, Qi Chen and the others were making every effort to avoid speaking, fearing they might shatter the silence.
After reaching the summit, looking at the altar, Feng Yuan comnted,
“This place is the entrance, but it’s truly special.”
“Sacred and serious, they must have put a lot of effort in.” Dou Yanlan remarked gravely. Here, she felt as if she was face-to-face with the unrestrained majesty of the Divine Beasts. Of course, this was just an illusion shared by her and Qi Chen; the true presence of Divine Beasts would not be so mild.
“I suppose if anything here were damaged, Professor Li and the others would go crazy. Let’s proceed; all we need to do here is light three sticks of incense.”
With a smile, Feng Yuan casually walked forward, took out the incense obtained from Kong Qing, pondered for a mont, and then placed a large bundle of incense on the offering table, jotting down a note. Qi Chen stared speechlessly at Feng Yuan, utterly unable to fathom why he would prepare such things.
“You are truly… well-prepared… but I rember you got your information on the way here, and you didn’t leave at any point, so where did you get these things?”
Eyeing Feng Yuan, Agunas questioned suspiciously as he thought of sothing. He wasn’t overthinking; it was just that Feng Yuan, like Gitalien, indeed possessed spatial ability. That person occasionally engaged in a little under-the-table space trade for convenience.
Though Gitalien would provide items more valuable than the originals, such covert, unapproved exchanges still drew the dissatisfaction of the Lorraine Tower. Agunas couldn’t help but suspect Feng Yuan of similar behavior.
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan responded irritably,
“Of course, they’re things I had previously stored in Kong Qing’s space. Aside from incense, there are other offerings, too; it’s just that they’re not needed now.”
“Why did you have Kong Qing prepare those things for you?”
“Just a precaution, who knows when they might co in handy—you see, aren’t they useful now?”
Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan shrugged as if it was no big deal. Qi Chen rubbed his temples, wondering whether or not to comnt on Feng Yuan because his previous preparation turned out to be useful indeed. He believed that even an archaeological team wouldn’t have thought to carry incense on them, and had they encountered such a situation now, they would have had to waste ti going back to the city to purchase it.
He rely thought those preparations seed a bit… excessive. Would a normal person really prepare such items for contingency?
“Your scope for pre-planning… is a bit broad.”
Giving Feng Yuan a glance, Agunas shook his head reluctantly. Though Kong Qing’s space wasn’t vast, Feng Yuan cramd quite a few things in, and moreover, aside from Kong Qing, Big Cat and its area also contained a lot of items. Incense and candles being stored there didn’t seem particularly odd.
Lighting three sticks of incense, Feng Yuan pointed to the celestial pattern floor encircled by a white halo and said,
“Stand on top of that, ready to go down～”
As the circular floor carried Feng Yuan and the others slowly downwards, another celestial pattern platform extended from the edges to fill the gap on the floor. After a while, when Professor Li and the others arrived, they were startled by the lit incense, as normally, neither their students nor the archaeological team would bring incense and candles to an archaeological site.
Fortunately, soone found a note nearby, preventing the archaeological team from treating it as an unsolved mystery.
The round platform descended slowly, and after a while, the surrounding space beca a cylindrical vertical passage enclosed by four supporting columns with arched glass panels. Veronia glanced around, then chuckled softly,
“This place, it resembles an aquarium～”
“You can’t say that, but this place… differs too much from the style of the Tianqiong Dynasty.”
Touching his chin, Dou Yanlan remarked quizzically, having found the building’s style baffling all the way. Even Professor Li and the others found it peculiar. Despite the style and patterns being characteristic of the Tianqiong Dynasty, the layout was entirely different.
The design, utterly contrary to the sky-worshipping Tianqiong Dynasty, with its teor Pavilion sealed at the very bottom and abundant aquatic views, clashed with the Dynasty’s intrinsic design philosophy.
Gazing at the azure, faintly glowing water, Feng Yuan glanced at the splendid water surface under simulated daylight and said,
“In so sense, this is indeed the style of the Tianqiong Dynasty, but if you’re unclear about the reasons, you might misunderstand.”
Without explaining further, Feng Yuan glanced at the small fish swimming in the water with a mysterious smile, quietly standing aside and stroking Xiao Ji’s feathers.
Though the oppressive atmosphere vanished upon entering the descending passage, making Xiao Ji feel less distressed than before it still rested on Feng Yuan’s body, enjoying the sensation and unwilling to break free.
The passage wasn’t too deep, stopping soon after to reveal an open spherical hall. Feng Yuan, with a peculiar smile, said,
“You guess where the teor Pavilion is?”
“Below, perhaps?”
Sweeping her gaze around, Dou Yanlan replied doubtfully. Frankly, had she not known the truth provided by Agunas, she’d have doubted whether sothing was wrong with this place. Burying it underground was one thing, but burying it so deep with nurous… features, she couldn’t wrap her mind around why they did so.
“Haha, you guessed it～”
“Is there sothing special about the teor Pavilion, or does the teorite possess so unique function?”
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Veronia asked. Throughout the journey, sothing about this place felt off—from the solemn ascent pathway to these specifically mood-lightening features—indicating the teor Pavilion might not simply be a seal; it likely has other positive functions, otherwise this wouldn’t be the case.
A prison and a holy land couldn’t have the sa style, and here felt more like a holy place, but why was that?
“Haha, did you guess it?”
Seeing Dou Yanlan nod, Feng Yuan ceased keeping it a secret. Leading everyone to the passage entrance, he said,
“That teorite is quite special. At least from what Agunas had, there’s no record of its origin. It could be from the starry sky or elsewhere, but the teorite has a unique ability—it grants Spirit Beasts a temporary burst form, which could indeed be seen as a sort of special ultimate move.”
“Temporary burst form?”
“Yes, just like Ah Mu, upon gaining the burst form, its strength rank rises one tier higher but wouldn’t exceed the legendary level, and there would be a physical transformation until the burst form subsides and it reverts to normal.”
Feng Yuan glanced at Dou Yanlan and smiled. The duo was startled—they didn’t expect the teor Pavilion to have such a capability. While it seed a bit incredible, upon reflection, it was noticeably weaker than the White Wolf Deity’s Coming of Future.
Although the White Wolf Deity’s Coming of Future maxes out at the legendary level, it raises any starting strength indiscriminately to the legendary level, also granting decent control force. In contrast, the teor Pavilion’s burst form might not function similarly; otherwise, its historical anonymity wouldn’t make sense.
