Speak the human tongue?
Even Duan Lingtian was shocked by the little gold mouse now.
That day, when Little Gold stepped into the Void Prying Stage, it was already capable of condensing sound with Origin Energy, and it had already caused him to be extremely shocked.
After all, in the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, only demon beasts at the Void Initiation Stage and above knew how to condense sound with Origin Energy.
As for speaking the human tongue, that was the mark of a Void Interpretation Stage demon beast.
Samsara Emperor Wu had experienced two lifetimes, yet he'd never seen a demon beast that hadn't stepped into the Void Interpretation Stage that was capable of speaking the human tongue.
Yet now, a variant like this had appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
"According to the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu … Ordinary Void Initiation Stage demon beasts are capable of condensing sound with Origin Energy; Void Interpretation Stage demon beasts are capable of speaking the human tongue; Void Transformation Stage demon beasts are capable of taking human form."
Duan Lingtian stared fixedly at the little gold mouse that sat on Han Xuenai's hand in enjoyment, and his heart shook. "But Little Gold … It was capable of condensing sound with Origin Energy when it was at the Void Prying Stage. Now that it's broken through to the Void Initiation Stage, it's capable of speaking the human tongue! "
"If it continues according to this pattern … Then wouldn't it be able to take human form when it steps into the Void Interpretation Stage?"
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but gasp.
"Xue Nai."
Duan Lingtian looked at Han Xuenai and asked. "When did Little Black and Little White start to be able to communicate with you via voice transmission?"
"Void Initiation Stage."
Han Xuenai said, "Practically all Void Initiation Stage demon beasts are capable of condensing sound with Origin Energy, this is extremely normal … But Little Gold being able to speak the human tongue is something that I'm slightly puzzled about."
"As expected."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart. Little Black and Little White were like ordinary demon beasts, and they were only capable of condensing sound with Origin Energy when they were at the Void Initiation Stage.
But Little Gold exceeded his expectations.
"Xue Nai, there's something you don't know … When Little Gold had just broken through to the Void Prying Stage that day, it was already capable of communicating with me via voice transmission."
Duan Lingtian said.
"What?!"
Han Xuenai was stunned and was shocked once again. She stared at the little gold mouse in her hand and carefully sized it up. "This little fellow is so peculiar? If this continues, wouldn't it be able to transform into a human and directly become a demon when it reaches the Void Interpretation Stage? "
"Unfathomable Emptiness Stage 'Yao' … I've never heard of one before."
At this point, Han Xuenai shook her head. Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
Even she couldn't figure out why Little Gold was so 'peculiar'.
"In that case, this little fellow is really different from the rest."
Duan Lingtian glanced at the little gold mouse and sighed.
"Creak, creak ~ ~"
The little gold mouse cried out twice, then looked at the two little pythons. "You … Both of you … Both of you don't know how to speak … Both of you … aren't as formidable as me …"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and laughed bitterly when he saw the little gold mouse actually daring to provoke Little Black and Little White.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two bolts of black and white flashed by, and it terrified the little gold mouse to the point of curling up in Han Xuenai's hand. "Gentleman … Gentleman … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves … Moves …"
The little gold mouse's words entered into the ears of Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai, and it caused them to be unable to help but be stunned, and then they chuckled as they looked at each other.
Where did this little fellow learn these words?
"Little Gold's luck isn't bad … This time, we can bring it along to the Sword Monarch's Treasure. Perhaps there's a fortuitous encounter within it."
Han Xuenai said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
In the next two days, Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai didn't go out, and they passed the time in the inn.
Unknowingly, the agreed date with the other possessors of the jade swords arrived as scheduled.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai had left for Pheasant Ridge as well.
Pheasant Ridge was situated north of the Eastern Mulberry Empire's Imperial City, and it was a vast mountain ridge that occupied an area of a few tens of times the size of the Eastern Mulberry Empire's Imperial City.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, once we converge with them and arrive at the Sword Monarch's Treasure and open it with the nine jade swords, should I freeze all of them into popsicles? In that way, there wouldn't be anyone competing with us for the things within the Sword Monarch's Treasure. "
Han Xuenai's beautiful eyes flashed as she revealed a devilish smile.
Even though Duan Lingtian had this thought since long ago.
But when he heard Han Xuenai speak of it now, he still shuddered slightly, and his heart shook. "This little girl, Xue Nai, is really a complete little she-devil! Fortunately, we're friends and not enemies. "
"There's no need."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and rejected Han Xuenai's plan.
During these past two days, besides cultivating, he'd also considered many things related to the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
The Sword Monarch's Treasure was undoubtedly left behind by a sword cultivator Martial Monarch.
This point could be heard from the name.
Whereas the treasure vaults left behind by ordinary Martial Monarchs and Emperor Wu were mostly 'games' they intentionally created. Perhaps there were many treasures within, yet there would surely be corresponding tests.
"All those years ago, Emperor Wu of Samsara had once played a similar 'game' … There was once when he intentionally opened up a treasure vault, and in the end, all those that entered it died!"
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian felt a slight chill run down his spine.
In the eyes of those formidable Martial Monarchs and Emperor Wu, even an existence at the Void Transformation Stage was no different than an ant.
The death of an ant was unable to affect their state of mind.
To them, the 'games' they created were only existences for their entertainment.
"Xue Nai, think about it … Even if there are treasures within the Sword Monarch's Treasure, it would surely not be so easy to obtain. We can take less risks if they go in with us and lead the way. "
Duan Lingtian said to Han Xuenai, "If we really encounter any treasures within, then it wouldn't be too late for you to make a move and seize it at that time … At any rate, with your strength, there ought to be no one amongst them that's capable of comparing to you."
"Big Brother Ling Tian, you've thought it through thoroughly … Alright, we'll do it this way."
Duan Lingtian's suggestion obtained Han Xuenai's agreement, and an evil smile appeared on Han Xuenai's face. "I love seizing things the most … When I was young, I often seized Xue Yi's toys."
"Xue Yi?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned when he heard Han Xuenai. "Who's that?"
Han Xuenai's eyes were filled with a cunning expression. "She's my Uncle Mu's daughter, and she's half a month older than me … Since we were young, I loved seizing things from her the most, whereas she would cry loudly every time."
Duan Lingtian was speechless.
He felt a moment of silence for 'Mu Xue Yi.'
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian withdrew his jade sword and fused his voice transmission into it to get in touch with the possessors of the other jade swords.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse stuck its head out from Duan Lingtian's sleeve and cried out twice before curiously sizing up the surroundings.
After two days of recovery, the little gold mouse was in high spirits.
"Hiss hiss ~"
Whereas the two little pythons stuck their heads out from under Han Xuenai's sleeve as well, and they flicked their tongues as they didn't forget to look provocatively at the little gold mouse.
"Two idiots that don't know how to speak."
The little gold mouse's childish voice was finally coherent now.
However, its provocative words had instead infuriated the two little pythons.
If it wasn't for Han Xue Nai calming the two little pythons, they'd probably have already pounced over and fought the little gold mouse.
"Little Gold, you can't continue like this … If you continue like this, then I won't take care of you next time, and I'll make Little Black and Little White properly train with you."
Duan Lingtian glared at the little gold mouse, and it terrified the little gold mouse to the point it mischievously stuck out its tongue before burrowing back into his sleeve, and it didn't make any further movements.
"Little Black, Little White, both of you hide first."
Duan Lingtian spoke to the two little pythons, then he called out to Han Xuenai. "Xue Nai, let's go over there!"
Duan Lingtian and Han Xue Nai headed directly north of Pheasant Ridge.
When they arrived above a ravine in Pheasant Ridge that was filled with the fragrance of flowers, Duan Lingtian looked down at the ravine beneath his feet. "Xue Nai, let's go down … This is the place I agreed upon with them."
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian and Han Xue Nai descended into the ravine.
Presently, there were already four people waiting within the ravine.
The four people were divided into two groups.
One of the groups was the combination of two middle aged men in embroidered clothes.
The other group was the combination of a robust middle aged man and an azure clothed old man.
At this moment, all four of them were dumbstruck when they saw Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai appear.
A young man that was 25 years old and a young girl that was 15 or 16 years old …
Is this a pair of brother and sister that are lost?
The four of them didn't think that the two of them were the possessors of one of the jade swords.
"Cute little girl, are you and your brother lost?"
The robust middle aged man took a step forward and looked at Han Xuenai as he asked with a light smile.
It was like an adult coaxing a child.
"It's you!"
Han Xuenai hadn't reacted when the nearby Duan Lingtian had already exclaimed in a low voice.
"You are?"
The robust middle aged man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian, and he couldn't help but size up Duan Lingtian from top to bottom. "Brother, do I know you?"
"Even though you don't know me, but we seem to have communicated more than once or twice before this, right? It wouldn't be that you can't even recognize my voice, right? "
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he spoke slowly.
When the robust middle aged man spoke, he'd recognized the voice of the robust middle aged man.
It was precisely the possessor of the jade sword that he'd first contacted that day, and the owner of the sonorous voice.
"You … It's you!"
The robust middle aged man finally recovered from his shock, and he sized up Duan Lingtian as if he'd seen a ghost as he laughed bitterly. "I really never imagined that you're so young."
When he spoke up to here, the robust middle aged man glanced at Han Xuenai who stood by Duan Lingtian's side, and he was speechless.
This fellow brought a young girl over. Does he think the Sword Monarch's Treasure is a game?
"I'm Dong Ming, what's your name?"
The robust middle aged man asked.
"Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian said.
"So it's Brother Ling Tian … Brother Ling Tian, this is Elder Hu, he's a senior of mine."
Meanwhile, the robust middle aged man introduced the green clothed old man by his side to Duan Lingtian.
"Elder Hu."
Duan Lingtian smiled lightly as he greeted the old man.
"Mmm."
Elder Hu only nodded lightly, and then he paid no further attention to Duan Lingtian. Obviously, he didn't take Duan Lingtian seriously.
Duan Lingtian didn't mind.
After all, his age was obvious, and it was indeed insufficient to draw the attention of others.
