Chapter 1046: Chapter 663: The Grand Banner Unfurled (Part 2)
And from the image of the artifact spirit of the Jade Gourd, one can see the clues.
Its spirit image is Du Yu, the person who helped it free from its predicament, rather than the previous host.
Unlike West Xia’s Flute Bai Lan, the Jade Gourd did not accept the spiritual soul of the host before death. The gourd is merely an artifact spirit, not a living being that has blurred its own role.
Hundreds of years of unique experience have led the Jade Gourd to be adrift here.
It managed to endure the long, dark years and change its nature of existence, due to its obsession to refine the Demon Saint Heaven Returning Wood inside the gourd.
In such circumstances, which faction does the Jade Gourd belong to?
None!
At least, the Jade Gourd is not living for the Twin Tree Realm.
It’s just because of the appearance of Du Yu, Yang Qingqing, and others that solved the Jade Gourd’s obsession.
Hence, the gourd allowed the soldiers to operate inside the mountain.
It complied with Yang Qingqing’s expectations for it, and while refining the Cold Beast and repairing its body, it is also willing to provide protection for the Human Race troops inside.
Du Yu said in a grave tone: "Gourd?"
Hulu Yu lowered its head, remaining silent.
Du Yu: "Previously, you guarded the Bottomless day and night to repair your body.
When you entered the arena, you told me you were no longer the same, that now you have completely repaired yourself."
Hulu Yu finally nodded gently.
Beside him, Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan came up with a look of inquiry.
Since the artifact spirit couldn’t speak, and Du Yu had been communicating with it using the Demon Soul, the two girls didn’t know what was happening.
They only saw Du Yu holding the artifact spirit’s shoulder, seemingly comforting the other.
Facing the girls’ gaze, Du Yu smiled, uncharacteristically without responding.
He looked at the artifact spirit before him and continued to convey his thoughts: "Then come with us."
What to do when an ancient spiritual artifact has no faction?
Then give it an owner.
Just like the Shadow Gu Tower and Mountain and Sea Bell, they have no factions, only obessions.
If one must set a faction, then the Shadow Gu Tower should lean towards the Divine Wood Pavilion, as its enemy is the Heart Slaying Garden.
The Mountain and Sea Bell’s faction is considered to be on the side of the Human Race, but its enemies are not the Youhan Tree, but the Demon Beast tribe under the Twin Trees.
All these factions are reluctantly applied,
After all, both have risen due to obsessions thousands of years later.
Du Yu resolved their century-long wishes at heart, and the tower and bell became utterly devoted to Du Yu.
Including even the Void Axe, the tree it wants to cut is not the Youhan Tree in this world.
If Du Yu were not in this world’s Great Xia’s ranks, if he hadn’t just wielded the war axe, would the Void Axe cut this Youhan Tree?
Maybe, who knows.
But what is certain is that the Void Axe is different from the incomplete Little Fen Yang Demon Soul.
The Void Axe knows clearly where its home is and what it desires.
Hulu Yu murmured softly: "Follow you all."
Du Yu looked at the artifact spirit with its head lowered before him: "Home, we’ll give you."
Hulu Yu: "Human Race soldiers have requested me countless times before, but I..."
With thoughts conveyed, Hulu Yu raised its head, looking at Du Yu: "You already have three spiritual artifacts; I’ll endanger you."
Du Yu smiled: "Master Qing."
Upon hearing this, Hulu Yu’s tone suddenly rose: "Master Qing?"
Du Yu gazed into Hulu Yu’s eyes: "I’ve told you before, over the years, Master Qing has made many new friends and lost some old ones."
Du Yu sighed softly and continued: "Your joining will make her a bit happier, won’t it?"
The Jade Gourd showed a look of joy: "Doesn’t Master Qing have three spiritual artifacts?"
Since the moment Du Yu entered the mountain, the Jade Gourd has continuously followed Du Yu.
And when it saw the Shadow Gu Tower, Mountain and Sea Bell, and Void Axe appear consecutively, the heart of the Jade Gourd sank into the bottom.
All along, the exchange between the gourd and Du Yu has always been "Po."
While exchanging thoughts, they unknowingly sense each other’s quality and nature.
It’s impossible for Du Yu to give up his partners, and the Jade Gourd couldn’t possibly make such an unreasonable request.
For the gourd, since Du Yu’s spiritual artifacts are already full, surely his extraordinary master has long chosen his favored ancient spiritual artifact.
The actual situation is here, when Master Qing last entered the mountain, she already had a beautiful bracelet.
The power of that bracelet made the Jade Gourd secretly click its tongue.
It’s simply a "growth-type magical artifact."
The stronger the master, the stronger the bracelet!
Moreover... not to mention Master Qing and Du Yu, the Jade Gourd had long sensed that the two girls behind Du Yu were adorned with spiritual artifacts!
This further testified to the caliber of individuals Master Qing and Du Yu were, and what an honor it was to follow by their sides.
So, at this moment, Du Yu’s words made the Jade Gourd extremely excited!
Thinking about it is truly interesting,
To the people, Ancient Spiritual Artifacts are something they dare not even dream of, something they can’t touch in a lifetime.
But for certain individuals, it’s the Ancient Spiritual Artifacts lamenting and yearning to follow them around.
"There’s one last spot," Du Yu said softly.
Jade Gourd: "Would Master Qing... be willing to contract with me?"
A grand Ancient Spiritual Artifact, this was truly quite humble.
Du Yu: "I’ll ask her for you, leave it to me."
This indeed required asking for approval.
Du Yu had long had this intention and had spoken to Master Qing about it, but the woman rejected the disciple’s proposal.
Yang Qingqing was unwilling to disrupt Great Xia’s Spirit Master training plan for personal gain.
But now things were different! freewёbnoνel.com
The Cold Tree in this bottomless place had been destroyed, and whether or not the Jade Gourd left wouldn’t interfere anymore.
The most crucial thing was, the Jade Gourd no longer wanted to drift without roots.
The will of an Ancient Spiritual Artifact is unstoppable and unquestionable.
The two Du Yus could be described as hitting it off immediately.
Jade Gourd: "I will repay her kindness to me and try to make up for the past..."
"Shh." Du Yu interrupted the speaker, "I’ll talk to Master Qing about this, you go speak to the Twin Trees." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The Jade Gourd nodded heavily: "Okay!"
"I’ll head out first, the troops still have tasks to carry out, I’m a candidate, I need to exit." Wind swirled around Du Yu’s feet and drew fire.
Under the gaze of Hulu Yu, Du Yu and the two teammates flew upward.
They skimmed past the burning Cold Wood and passed through layers of fiery leaves.
This 2600-meter Bottomless Abyss had never been so easy to cross.
And when the trio flew out of the Gourd Mouth and stepped onto the mountain peak, they were met with a scene of grandeur and vastness.
In all directions stood thousands of human race soldiers.
It seemed that not even one percent of the total corps entered Gourd Mountain to carry out the mission.
These soldiers were always in preparation.
If a soldier retreated injured, another would fill their place.
If a squad lost its combat ability, was injured, or perished, another would dive into the mountain.
The war between the Twin and Youhan civilizations was a tragic saga of blood and tears for the beings under the Twin Tree’s rule.
For the continuation of civilization, for the continuation of the nation... this battle must be won!
But what means should the weak human race use to help the Twin Trees, how could they win?
At all costs.
Using people to win, filling with lives.
However, among the candidates, within the Great Xia Demon Tamers, emerged a person.
Someone who slashed through the bottomless, rooting out trees.
Someone who saved the human race corps a lot of bloodshed.
"Attention, everyone!" A rough voice resounded with penetrating power, echoing across the scene, "Stand at attention!"
The sound of bodies straightening and heels clicking together surged towards the Gourd Mouth from all directions of the mountain peak, sending waves of energy sweeping forth.
Lin Shiwei, taking Li Mengnan with her, quietly retreated a few steps.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t stand it; she too wanted to stand behind Du Yu, gazing at this silhouette.
Li Mengnan tightened her grip on Lin Shiwei’s arm, her heart trembling violently.
Everywhere she looked, there were people, stretching far and wide.
Raised high, the red flags billowed, fluttering mightily in the wind, echoing powerfully in the majestic energy waves.
Solemn faces, fiery gazes, stirring one’s blood and soul.
Suddenly, that rough voice rang out again, even more impassioned:
"Salute!"
