Chapter 240: The Original Sky Domain
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If the Life and Death Wood at that time existed in the sky, then it would be similar to the Sun Celestial Heavens. It was normal for Wood Spirit Stones to have Fire Spiritual Energy.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t afraid of fire at all, but it definitely had a certain tolerance for Fire Spiritual Energy. It had resistance to Earth Fire, so this would explain why the Dragon Claw Grass could absorb Earth Fire.
According to normal circumstances, the trees in the sky would indeed be unbelievable. However, this scene was extremely similar to the description of the Sky Domain in the Wasteland Remembrance.
Ye Chen decided to use the description of the Sky Domain to ask. The characteristics of the Sky Domain made it convenient for him to ask about the situation.
“Has there been any unapproachable area near the Sun Celestial Heavens and the Deep Sea Palace in the past? It’s similar to the Sky Domain. It’s fine if there are related rumors.” Ye Chen asked the two Divine Beasts.
!!
Before asking, he threw some of the remaining materials from the Divine Court into the small array he created to demonstrate. He used the Earth Spirit Stone to process it into something similar to soil and then threw in a Wood Spirit Stone.
A few minutes later, this thing quickly germinated. Some small plants that were growing on the ground also started to appear nearby. They grew quickly and surpassed the young shoots of the plants that grew from the Spirit Stones. After the plants grew on the ground, they immediately bloomed with small white flowers.
It was the Dragon Claw Grass. There was almost no Wood Spiritual Energy in the current environment, which made the growth of the Life and Death Wood in its young form slow. This was a normal phenomenon.
The Wood Spirit Stone that he placed in the water beside him did not react at all. When Ye Chen was investigating, he received a system notification. Because the protective layer of the Spirit Stone was of the fire attribute, its outer shell would harden under the stimulation of water, preventing the Life and Death Wood from germinating. This was another big difference from his previous life experience.
These two experiments directly confirmed Ye Chen’s guess about the Life and Death Wood and the Dragon Claw Grass.
During this period of time, he briefly explained his thoughts to the two Divine Beasts. Zhurong and Goulong admired the Dragon Claw Grass after seeing it appear and bloom. Only then did Ye Chen raise that question.
Since the Life and Death Wood grew in the sky, it meant that the Sky Domain had already existed before the appearance of the Primitive Continent. It was just that news related to it hadn’t been passed down.
According to the characteristics of the Sky Domain, other than the abundant Wind Spiritual Energy, there were also very obvious characteristics. The sky could be seen directly above, and even the clouds couldn’t exist inside. The bottom couldn’t be seen, and the corresponding area would disappear along with the land and water, as if a part of the entire world had suddenly been hollowed out.
Regardless of whether God had issued a ban or not, such an abnormal area would definitely be recorded. It was too dangerous and needed mutated beasts to avoid such a place. As a result, there would be a “restricted area” that was passed down by word of mouth.
Ye Chen was asking about the rumors about the forbidden area.
As expected, Goulong immediately reacted after he said that.
“There really is one,” it said. “I heard from the other races in the Deep Sea Palace that there was once a forbidden area in a shallow sea area. There seemed to be a fault in the seawater… but it disappeared later. It said it was a fault. But I thought it was a change in the temperature of the water and didn’t think too much about it. Now, it seems that it can also refer to a fault in the Sky Domain.”
Zhurong also thought for a while but didn’t give any effective information. After all, the Sun Celestial Heavens didn’t occupy the entire sky. The Sky Domain might have avoided the areas where they often moved.
Ye Chen only asked Goulong questions.
“Where is the place you mentioned roughly? Is there any other information?” He listened to the input in the system and asked Goulong.
“I’m not sure about the place. It’s just something the other party casually mentioned. However, after the mutated beast war, the abnormally disappeared shallow sea had already risen to land to become the East Continent.” Goulong replied.
It was the East Continent again.
“There are so many things happening in the East Continent.” Ye Chen complained softly, “Weren’t there two continents that appeared in the early days? Why is everything in the East Continent?”
The continents that rose up after the mutated beast war were the same at first. Later on, one of the continents suddenly sank for some reason, causing this continent to be divided into two parts. The big one was the East Continent later on, and the small one was the North Continent later on.
Too many things had happened in this ancient land.
Goulong did not hear Ye Chen’s ridicule. It was recalling other information related to this land.
“I think the other party also said that after this shallow sea returned to its original state, there wasn’t enough Spiritual Energy and many strange-looking water plants appeared, so it’s still not easy to get close to.” It said after a while, “At that time, we talked about this when we were hunting together because the water plants would affect our hunting vision, so we don’t like water plants. We regularly clean up the hunting sea.”
It was very detailed.
Ye Chen was more concerned about this information.
If the Sky Domain had disappeared after entering the foreign realm, he wouldn’t have found it strange. However, the time when this Sky Domain disappeared was before the mutated beast war. At that time, the universe barrier was very stable and no foreign realm appeared. Under such circumstances, the disappearance of the Sky Domain was very suspicious.
After the Sky Domain disappeared, the additional “strange water plants” also made him a little concerned.
This didn’t seem like the Sky Domain had entered another space. It was more like the Wind Spiritual Energy in the Sky Domain had suddenly disappeared, causing the thing that was originally floating above to fall.
If this guess was correct, those strangely-shaped water plants were very likely to be Life and Death Woods. If the Wood Marrow condensed because of this and formed Spirit Stones, the Spirit Stones would be extremely hard. They could only be refined with Fire Spiritual Energy to change their forms, which might indeed cause difficulty in cleaning up.
“Are there still such rumors among mutated beasts?” Ye Chen asked. He had to verify it.
Goulong looked at him speechlessly. “How many years have I been dead? How can I know?” It replied, “However, I can search the memories of this kid I possessed. It might really know something.”
