Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 492 - 394: Useless as a Bunch of Chickens and Dogs!
[ps: I was too tired yesterday and uploaded the wrong Chapter, it has been corrected!]
"Is this the Pegasus Grassland?"
Zhao Yi stood on the Silver Dragon, looking down at the island below, a puzzled expression on his face.
He had imagined the dwelling place of the gods to be resplendent, magnificent palatial structures or a paradise of lush greenery and towering peaks.
Unexpectedly, what appeared before his eyes was a vast pasture.
A real pasture indeed.
From afar, Zhao Yi could see countless horses, cattle, and sheep grazing.
Perhaps due to the lack of predators and an abundance of food, the number of livestock was practically incalculable.
This resulted in a pervasive stench lingering over the Pegasus Grassland.
Even from miles away, Zhao Yi found it hard to keep his eyes open because of the foul odor.
"Aren’t those mages in the Magic World suffering from some grave illness?"
Zhao Yi found it all inexplicable.
Such conditions would not be tolerated by regular humans, let alone powerful mages.
At this moment, the protagonist caught up from behind.
He too was surprised by the grand sight of the distant herds.
"Is this really the Pegasus Grassland?"
Clearly, he also could not understand the peculiar tastes of those mages.
Xu Yue’Er was unconcerned: "Why don’t we go have a look and find out!"
When crossing the sea earlier, Xu Yue’Er had been shielded by the purple aura of the Nine Dragon Seal, feeling no danger, and consequently had lessened her awe of the mages of the Magic World.
Coupled with the way the cattle and sheep had made the Pegasus Grassland reek, Xu Yue’Er no longer held the Magic World in any esteem.
In her opinion, compared to the strictly regulated Great Xia Dynasty, the mages of the Magic World seemed like amateurish players.
Zhao Yi nodded: "Then let’s go take a look."
He then smiled and said: "After all, they’re mages, masters of the Dao Rule. We may not understand their actions, but given their status, they shouldn’t be engaging in pointless endeavors!"
The protagonist nodded in agreement: "Sage-level cultivators, when utilizing the Power of Laws, are also influenced by it. Some sages’ strange behaviors could very well be subtle changes caused by the Power of Laws, leading to actions that are unconventional."
Zhao Yi nodded, glanced at the Nine Dragon Seal in his hand, and smiled: "In that case, let’s go and see! My treasure can’t wait any longer; I hope those so-called mages won’t disappoint me!"
Upon hearing this, both the protagonist and Xu Yue’Er nodded in agreement and began heading toward the Pegasus Grassland.
The protagonist lagged a few steps behind and asked the Treasure Tower Spirit in the Divine Sense Space: "Have you found it?"
"Found it!" The Treasure Tower Spirit replied cheerfully.
She excitedly exclaimed: "The new Artifact Spirit is in the seal he holds; when it protected him across the sea, I sensed its aura fluctuations."
The protagonist was not surprised.
Just earlier, he had spotted the peculiarly shaped seal Zhao Yi held from the seaside.
"Is that seal a Divine Artifact?" the protagonist couldn’t help but ask.
Since he began cultivating, the protagonist had always been lucky with cultivation resources, but he lacked a protective Divine Artifact.
Previously he didn’t mind this lack.
Divine Artifacts are indeed rare treasures.
Otherwise, when the six Buddhas agreed to seal the Cultivation World alongside the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds’ sages for the sake of six Divine Artifacts, it wouldn’t have happened.
When the protagonist had traveled from the Cultivation World to the Spirit Realm, he had been besieged by a dozen sages, none of whom had Divine Artifacts; otherwise, he wouldn’t have escaped so easily.
Yet unexpectedly, Zhao Yi had managed to procure a Divine Artifact.
The protagonist had been surpassed by him once again!
The Treasure Tower Spirit said: "That seal is only a Quasi-Divine Artifact; it’s missing a touch of divinity, which is why he’s here to slay a god—to help that new Artifact Spirit gain the final trace of divinity!"
The protagonist pondered: "So you mean Zhao Yi already knows there’s a new Divine Soul in that seal?"
The Treasure Tower Spirit confirmed: "I wasn’t certain before, but now it’s almost undeniable that he knows of the new Artifact Spirit’s existence!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The protagonist nodded: "That’s very much like something he would do."
In the protagonist’s mind, although Zhao Yi had various faults, he had always been incredibly magnanimous in employing people.
Take the little poisonous one for example; the protagonist was wary of her terrifying skills with poison, initially not daring to keep her close.
But Zhao Yi, seemingly untroubled, always regarded her as a trusted aide, not only keeping her by his side but also assigning her important tasks.
The protagonist reflected that if he were Zhao Yi, he wouldn’t be capable of such graciousness.
He thought, "Since Zhao Yi already knows about that new Artifact Spirit, and not only hasn’t destroyed it but is preparing to help it complete its divinity, you can rest assured. With Zhao Yi’s character, the safety of that new Artifact Spirit isn’t a concern."
The Treasure Tower Spirit was slightly surprised, curiously saying: "Aren’t you not on good terms with him? Why are you speaking up for him?"
The protagonist shook his head: "I just differ from Zhao Yi in ideology; he walks the king’s path, I walk the Buddhist path. It’s a difference in path, nothing more, without any other grievances!"
The Treasure Tower Spirit seemed to ponder this with an "Oh."
But soon she was delighted again.
She eagerly said: "Once that new Artifact Spirit completes its divinity, it will quickly develop a complete consciousness, and I’ll finally have a companion in this world!"
The protagonist was suddenly struck by a twinge of melancholy.
He had a vague premonition that one day he might lose the Treasure Tower Spirit.
However, he quickly dismissed that thought.
The Treasure Tower Spirit was simply lonely for too long; having a new companion was naturally exciting for her.
Moreover, the Treasure Tower Spirit hadn’t formally established any relationship with him, merely residing temporarily in his Divine Sense World.
If the Treasure Tower Spirit wished to leave, he indeed lacked any legitimate reason to stop her.
Though he thought this way, if the Treasure Tower Spirit truly departed, he would surely have a headache.
After all, she was the Artifact Spirit of a Divine Artifact.
Even though the Treasure Tower Spirit had exiled her own body, she never said she couldn’t retrieve it.
The protagonist noticed the Treasure Tower Spirit never mentioned the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, showed no interest in its whereabouts, and guessed she might have some backup plan.
Once the Nether Tree was entirely eradicated, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm could be summoned back.
By then, with no anchor in the Cultivation World, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm would drift like a lone boat in the Chaos Void.
The Treasure Tower Spirit wouldn’t fear being trapped again, and could roam freely thereafter.
"This must be her true calculation," the protagonist mused internally before suddenly asking: "What kind of existence are Divine Artifacts, can they be destroyed?"
The Treasure Tower Spirit answered without much thought: "I can’t say exactly what kind of existence a Divine Artifact is, just like humans can’t claim to entirely understand their bodies."
"As for whether they can be destroyed, absolutely! But Divine Artifacts differ from other magical treasures in one way—they can automatically repair themselves!"
"As long as the divinity of the Divine Artifact persists and its shell isn’t utterly destroyed, it can eventually restore itself regardless of damage, though the time may vary!"
The protagonist was deeply impressed.
Indeed!
