Chapter 1049: Chapter 1048 Different Roots

Davis was about to soothe Xiao Meili's psyche so that she does not make this place a mess or humiliate herself, but fortunately, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.

Nadia didn't have a change of expression at all. After seeing so many Spirit Attribute Sources, she was rather getting bored and remained indifferent to its ghastly image. Compared to her master's mysterious yet terrifying energy, she felt that it was lackluster.

On the other hand, Evelynn possessed a determined expression on her face while her brows were furrowed. She knew that she had to absorb this wretched, ugly, and truly disgusting face into her dantian to improve her cultivation and law comprehension. Otherwise, it was possible that she would be unable to catch up to her husband or her two sisters anytime soon.

Davis noticed her expression, and inwardly nodded his head. Her eyes didn't waver at all. If it were the Evelynn of the past, he knew that she would be like Xiao Meili right now, ending up terrified and disgusted by the shape of these Poison Essences.

Indeed, it wasn't just this Poison Essence that took a ghastly shape of a rotting face. Out of the six Poison Essences, three of them possessed sinister shapes!

Poison Essences tend to mostly take the shape of what, where, and why they were formed from, but they also possessed the tendency to constantly change shapes to their discretion. Right now, Davis could see that this Peak-Level Sky Grade Poison Essence took the shape of a ghastly human face to intimidate them.

'Heh! Even though numerous formations imprison it, it still has the mood to scare us... Is this it's nature, something that all Poison Essences are born with?' Davis mused before he looked at Xiao Meili.

"What's this stupid face's name and origin?"

"Eh? Oh..." Xiao Meili understood before she nodded her head, "Its name is Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn."

"As for its origin and powers, please give me a moment."

She hesitatingly looked at the ghastly green face before she walked up to the sealed gate. However, she moved to the side four steps away before knowingly stepping on an invisible mechanism.

From the ground, the surface moved as a jade slip appeared. She bent her waist and picked it up carefully before reading it. After a few seconds, she looked at Alchemist Davis and explained.

"This Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn is born from the corpse dust of the Verdant Dust Dragonfly, among the numerous carcasses. The Verdant Dust Dragonfly is known for their resilience to certain poisons like paralytic ones. As for their poisonous prowess, it is said that it is capable of creating a poisonous dust storm in groups, making it easy for them to poison a city full of Fifth Stage Experts to death!"

"Oh...? Fifth Stage Experts? Mid-Level Sky Grade?" Davis became confused before his expression brightened, "Did this Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn manage to grow by two levels, reaching Peak-Level Sky Grade in prowess?"

Xiao Meili pursed her lips as she nodded her head, "It is stated that it killed a million souls as it targeted the towns of the Alstreim Family, and grew by using their souls as an energy source about thirty thousand years ago."

"Thirty thousand years ago!?" Davis's expression changed, "It's been imprisoned from such a long time ago?"

Xiao Meili shook her head, "No, it's said that it managed to hide in the collapsed crevice of the Verdant Range Valley for many thousand years before it was captured by one of our Ancestors after an expedition into that collapsed crevice."

"So an Ancestor-level character captured it. No wonder they were able to bring a monstrosity like this here and not kept in the Treasury for more security. I initially thought that this place was controlled by a Grand Elder, but to think that its history really belongs to an Ancestor..."

"Time sure flies fast..." Davis was in awe before he quickly frowned.

When he grows in cultivation in the future, would his perception of time also change? At some point, thirty thousand years would appear very little that even relationships wouldn't matter anymore?

Davis instantly experienced goosebumps at the random thought. Thirty thousand years was just too far away from him that he couldn't honestly comprehend how much of a time it was and the number of experiences he would gain during that time.

"It was unknown what kind of phenomenon is required to take place for the Poison Essence to be born, and it is safe to say that the phenomenon was a special one. Otherwise, it is possible that a new Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn may be born as there's still the presence of these dragonflies in the west region of the Alstreim Family's territory."

Xiao Meili heaved a gentle and relieved sigh, "I can't thank Ancestors of the Alstreim Family enough. I also come from a humble town in the western region, so to think that it could still be present somewhere underneath just gives me the chills..."

Davis blinked on hearing her statement. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Meili, why is your name different from the others?"

"Eh? Does A-Alchemist Davis find my name strange?" Xiao Meili became flustered.

"Not at all... I just find it interesting. It makes me curious..."

Xiao Meili looked at his honest expression before she nodded his head.

"My father told me that it's a name from another language that has been lost to time. I don't know its name, but he also mentioned how our names were common in ancient times but not so now, but we still continue the tradition and keep it so that we can honor our ancestors."

"You don't know the name of the language?" Davis became a bit amused.

Xiao Meili shook her head, "We use a name list that has been passed down for generations and generations."

'What...? Are they using a name list? How long are they keep upholding this tradition for...?' Davis became flabbergasted and wanted to ask, but it was rather obvious that Xiao Meili knew nothing.

"So, you don't even know what Meili means?"

"I know that... It means beautiful and graceful." Xiao Meili giggled.

Davis couldn't help but smile.

Clearly, it was Chinese but not Mandarin or Cantonese or any other dialect for that matter. It was probably way old and advanced but became redundant after the birth of Sky Word Language, just like how every other language and literature studies became irrelevant to cultivators.

The Sky Word Language was said to be directly introduced to every cultivator living at that time to unite humanity. Perhaps, only mortals who forgot about the Sky Word Language after that particular generation failed to pass on were fighting about their regional languages at this point.

This made him think if the Chinese Language didn't originate on Earth in the first place but made an appearance from some other place. Its fantastical history that had 'Cultivation' and 'Heaven' also came to be true once he came to this cultivation world, proving that it had roots in the cultivation world. However, it could also be said to be the same about every other culture in some instances.

There was a spatial formation connecting the Grand Sea Continent and the Earth, so he wasn't surprised to think if there might be another spatial formation that might lead to somewhere else but just hadn't been found.

The Twelve Vile Vortices on Earth that denied him entry were suspicious as hell in regarding this matter!
