Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Stone Statue_1

"It’s probably not something left by a Divine Beast, but likely traces left by a Sacred Beast or some other entity."

Feng Yuan said, looking towards Xiao Ji with a smile,

"You don’t think you’re so lucky that everything is a boon left by Divine Beasts, do you?"

After thinking for a bit, Xiao Ji said contentedly,

"We’ve already found so much, even if there’s nothing special about it, it’s not a problem. Based on the things you’ve discovered, there’s enough for everyone to live very well~"

Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji somewhat surprised and asked,

"You actually know their value?"

Xiao Ji took out her phone, waved it in front of Feng Yuan with pride, and said,

"I can look up information~"

"I thought you knew the value of those things..."

"If I knew, I would have said earlier, no need to wait for you.

Xiao Ji pouted at Feng Yuan and said, although deep down she was very grateful to Feng Yuan, with his current appearance and occasional playfulness, she really couldn’t see him as an adult on the same level as Qi Chen.

"If we don’t set off soon, the sun is going to set!"

Qi Xiaoshuang, who had been waiting for a while and hadn’t seen any movement, spoke with some dissatisfaction, prompting everyone to quickly pack and follow Xiao Ji towards the so-called Tian Ci Stone Statue.

"It really isn’t a Divine Beast after all."

On the way, Feng Yuan sighed and said, to which Xiao Ji asked with some confusion,

"Because of the type?"

"No, haven’t you noticed the difference in our surroundings?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji stopped and looked around in confusion saying,

"There’s nothing different, it’s all just a bunch of bushes."

"The plants have become very ordinary, neither those rare special plants nor those that seem full of spirit are present."

Glancing at Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan explained,

"This is proof that there’s no blessing from a Divine Beast. The previous mountain had clearly been blessed by several Divine Beasts repeatedly; it could be considered a treasure land."

"Divine Beast’s blessing? That doesn’t seem to be the case. It’s just Drudgeon occasionally visiting to plant a few trees."

Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said with a bit of amusement,

"Isn’t that considered a blessing? I believe that guy would never bother planting ordinary trees. Rare plants wouldn’t survive everywhere without a special reason."

"You mean Drudgeon did something to that mountain?"

"Something like that, but not entirely. After all, the inherent abilities of Divine Beasts tend to infuse the environment. Although it slowly dissipates over time, if it’s a long-term infusion, the environment will still undergo some changes, like Fire Stronghold now possessing residency characteristics."

Dou Yanlan thought it over and looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, saying,

"Residency characteristics? I think I’ve read about that somewhere. It seems some cities possess that characteristic."

"Of course, Shenhua City has had residency characteristics for a long time due to Yimu Qingling’s extended stay. That characteristic means that within the range of the city, the duration of all continuous abilities of Divine Beast-class creatures is significantly extended, like Nagna’s Rain of Life."

"If used in Shenhua City, the duration of the Rain of Life might last as long as a week."

Feng Yuan said with a mischievous grin,

"Speaking of which, Shangjing has no residency characteristic because it’s only guarded by Sacred Beasts."

"That’s probably why there are so few records about residency characteristics~"

Dou Yanlan glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"To them, uncontrollable Divine Beasts are less useful than Sacred Beasts. As for residency, don’t forget that many offensive ultimate moves are also continuous."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan argued,

"But they can actively cancel their ultimate moves."

Dou Yanlan glanced at Feng Yuan and said calmly,

"Vermilion Bird’s Fierce Flame Rain, under normal circumstances, only has full power during the first wave; the subsequent ones just continue to ignite. But under the residency characteristic, the second wave still maintains the power of the first while continuing to ignite everything it touches."

"These are all recorded in the data, something that happened in Featherwood City thirteen years ago."

Feng Yuan sighed. He hadn’t expected Dou Yanlan to have read those records. Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan and didn’t say much more, while Qi Chen said with some confusion,

"What happened in Featherwood City thirteen years ago?"

Yang Hongzhi pondered and said,

"So that’s how it is. But the fact that you could uncover such information is really impressive; even Han Mo is not too clear about that matter."

Qi Xiaoshuang grabbed Dou Yanlan’s hand and looked at her with a kitten-like pleading expression, asking,

"Yanlan sister, can you tell me what happened in Featherwood City thirteen years ago?"

After glancing at Qi Xiaoshuang, Dou Yanlan hesitated but didn’t speak. Qi Chen turned to Feng Yuan and asked,

"It wasn’t anything good?"

"Mhm, I’ll give you a hint—Yongning."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen’s face changed. He pulled Qi Xiaoshuang away and said,

"Don’t inquire about such matters anymore. If you really want to know, you’ll have to find out for yourself eventually."

"Why do I feel like all of you know, but I’m the only one in the dark? No way, I want to know now..."

Xiao Ji imitated Qi Xiaoshuang’s look and stared at Feng Yuan and the others, who remained unmoved, and said,

"Go look it up yourself."

"Hmph! If I have to look it up, I’ll look it up myself!"

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan with dissatisfaction, took out her phone, and started searching for information. After a while, she complained,

"Thirteen years ago, nothing happened at all! You’re deceiving people."

Cotton, who was in Dou Yanlan’s arms, glanced at Xiao Ji with disdain and flicked its tail. Shortly after, Xiao Ji put away her phone and resumed leading the way at the front.

"This is the Tian Ci statue. It is said to have suddenly appeared here one day..."

Feng Yuan looked curiously at the statue before him, which was a simple but powerful depiction of a mysterious and dignified nine-tailed fox, with a hint of warmth.

"This seems..."

Dou Yanlan looked at the statue with some confusion. She seemed to have a vague memory of having seen that nine-tailed fox before. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"That must be the Yimu Qingling, or Yue Bai’s final evolutionary form."

"A Legendary Level being? But I remember that Yimu Qingling isn’t a Spirit Beast that likes to show off..."

"Someone must have erected it. After all, if it were really a statue of Yimu Qingling itself, it certainly wouldn’t be this rough, and..."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he placed his hand on the statue, closed his eyes, and silently sensed the presence within. It seemed as if a pure, dark force was circulating inside the statue, a force that carried the intense emotions of its original owner, so full of sorrow.

Noticing Xiao Ji curiously trying to manipulate that force, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Stop trying. It’s not a power you can control."

Xiao Ji, refusing to give up, tried for a long time but eventually sat down on the ground, resigned. The shadowy figure of Agunas looked at the statue with a slight frown and a continuously swishing tail, seemingly agitated.

After a while, as everyone finished observing the statue, they turned their gazes to Feng Yuan. Noticing everyone looking at him, Feng Yuan stepped back a few paces and said defensively,

"What are you guys up to..."

"What’s the use of this thing?"

Qi Chen, filled with curiosity, looked at Feng Yuan. After all, Fire Stronghold had unearthed so many strange things, and this unusual statue surely must have some special purpose, he thought.

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said,

"It’s useless. It’s just something someone made to commemorate a Yimu Qingling."

Feng Yuan, viewed skeptically by Qi Chen, said begrudgingly,

"Just like, if you were to die heroically, I’d find a picturesque spot to erect a statue in your memory. Would you expect it to have some special function?"

Realizing that Feng Yuan wasn’t joking, Qi Chen sighed and said,

"And here I thought it would have some special function..."

"But that example you used... What do you mean by me dying heroically..."

"It’s just an analogy. You can’t expect every random stone to have some special effect, can you? Even the Land of Time Tranquility can’t do that."

"Speaking of which, why does the Land of Time Tranquility give me a familiar feeling?"

The shadowy figure of Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, having had this strange feeling for a while but never finding the chance to ask.
