Chapter 244: Interfering With Destiny, Legendary Aura!
Under the scan of spiritual sense, this stone pillar in front of him was indeed just an ordinary stone pillar. If there was anything special, it was that the stone used was marble?
“It seems like there’s no harvest in this place.” Lu Li sighed lightly.
“No!”
Qu Suxin denied.
“On the contrary, this place is very important to us, especially these murals.” Qu Suxin came to the stone pillar and gently rubbed the symbols on it.
Qu Suxin asked excitedly: “Do you know what this says?”
Lu Li shook his head. He was not interested in archaeology, mainly because there were too many ancient texts in this world. He was even less familiar with these strange symbols from the ancient tribal period.
Qu Suxin murmured: “This records a legend, which is also the goal that this tribe has always pursued.”
“You understand this too?”
Lu Li looked at Qu Suxin with some surprise.
Qu Suxin explained: “If you have enough knowledge of this world, you will find that many powerful trainers are actually quite good archaeologists.”
Lu Li: “???”
I’m not well-read, don’t fool me.
Trainers in this world doing side jobs is equivalent to not focusing on their main duties.
Just like him, because he worked part-time as a breeder and trainer, he had always been discriminated against by many people.
“After your strength becomes powerful, you will like to go adventuring in secret realms. Sometimes you discover ruins in secret realms but know nothing about them, and then you will miss many opportunities.”
“Once or twice is fine occasionally, but if you encounter it too many times, you will have to bite the bullet and learn that archaeological knowledge, especially various ancient texts.”
Qu Suxin’s tone carried a bit of melancholy, as if she was recounting her own past.
In fact, she was indeed talking about her own past.
She, who loved searching for treasures in secret realms, had encountered many opportunities, but unfortunately missed many due to not understanding archaeology.
Lu Li: “…”
Archaeology can indeed be learned, but it is not at his current level to learn it.
Qu Suxin and Ekaterina were the same; it was only after their strength became powerful and they no longer needed to train every day that they developed hobbies.
This was the best approach.
The example in front was Yao Yifei. She pursued her interests first before improving her strength, resulting in being stuck at gym level, neither up nor down.
“What does this say?” Lu Li asked curiously.
Qu Suxin said: “This tells a story, a story of a tribe pursuing the deity they worshiped throughout their lives.”
Without waiting for Lu Li to ask further, Qu Suxin began translating on her own.
The Xingheng Tribe was the fortunate ones favored by the deity. Under the protection of the sacred tree, the people of this tribe all had super long lifespans of up to a thousand years.
The long lifespan made this tribe extremely brilliant, even Pokémon could not match it.
This tribe was extremely exclusive and did not accept outsiders at all, because they believed the sacred tree was the tribe’s supreme treasure, and once leaked, it would bring disaster to the tribe.
Hearing this, Lu Li already sensed something was off.
A sacred tree that could extend lifespan.
If said alone, Lu Li might suspect this thing was a special fruit tree similar to the ginseng fruit tree.
But connecting it to the God of Life Xerneas changed the meaning it represented.
This tree wouldn’t be…
Lu Li continued listening to Qu Suxin’s narration curiously.
At its largest scale, the Xingheng Tribe’s population even exceeded ten million.
Lu Li: “…”
In the barbaric tribal era, a tribe having a population exceeding ten million could no longer be described as outrageous.
It could only be said that it was worthy of the Pokémon World; the transcendent world was just that outrageous.
The Xingheng Tribe had distinct classes. Under the protection of the sacred tree, this tribe had a long history of thirty thousand years.
At its most prosperous period, the Xingheng Tribe had as many as 30 master level Pokémon.
When Qu Suxin translated this sentence, her voice trembled a bit, and she even incredulously read it again.
What concept was this?
The Jiuzhou Alliance was powerful, right?
Modern technology was advanced, with a population of nearly 100 billion.
But even the powerful Jiuzhou Alliance could not gather 30 master level Pokémon. One must know those were Pokémon that had stepped into the divine realm!
Lu Li also drew in a cold breath.
An ancient tribe having such outrageous strength made Lu Li wonder if he should complain that human civilization had always been stagnant.
Not to mention the Jiuzhou Alliance, Lu Li even suspected that the five great alliances together now could not gather 30 master level Pokémon.
And the Xingheng Tribe was just an ancient tribe from that barbaric era.
“This tribe is really terrifyingly strong.” Lu Li exclaimed.
Qu Suxin also nodded.
As the translator, she knew best how terrifying this tribe was.
Lu Li asked puzzledly: “What about later? Why did this tribe disappear?”
Qu Suxin did not answer, but continued translating the following content on her own.
The Xingheng Tribe, pursuing eternity, ultimately did not shine eternally like the stars in the sky.
That day, the sacred tree erupted with unprecedented power. A Pokémon resembling a stag walked out from the radiance, then forever left the Xingheng Tribe.
Its horns on the head flashed with radiance, granting eternal life to the people, but the Xingheng Tribe weakened because of this, believing the sacred tree had left the Xingheng Tribe.
With the sacred tree’s disappearance, unprecedented war broke out within the Xingheng Tribe. In the end, only some devout believers continued pursuing Its footprints.
It is the god that nurtures eternity, It is the God of Life, It is the god that creates nature, It is—Xerneas!
Qu Suxin’s tone was extremely fanatical, just like those religious zealots.
As a fairy type trainer, Qu Suxin indeed had blind worship for Xerneas, just like Yu Zhonggang being a steel enthusiast.
“So, this tribe is a branch of the Xingheng Tribe, and they were pursuing the traces left by Xerneas?” Lu Li asked curiously.
Qu Suxin nodded and said: “That’s what it says above. After the Xingheng Tribe broke out in civil strife, some shaman shamans of the priest class took their fanatical believers and left the Xingheng Tribe to pursue Xerneas’s whereabouts.”
“By the way, even a branch of such a powerful tribe couldn’t have left nothing behind, right?” Lu Li asked puzzledly.
He had checked with spiritual sense, inside and out, and there really was nothing good in this valley.
“Of course it’s impossible to leave good things. After all, this place was just their temporary foothold, so naturally no precious items would be left.” Qu Suxin rolled her eyes at Lu Li.
She felt Lu Li must be obsessed with money. Wasn’t such valuable literature more precious than those Pokémon secret treasures?
“Xingheng Tribe…”
Qu Suxin silently memorized this name in her heart.
If Xerneas could not be found, perhaps pursuing the Xingheng Tribe’s main camp would be a good choice.
The Xingheng Tribe definitely left behind divine items of Xerneas.
Lu Li asked: “So what do we do next? Continue archaeology here?”
Qu Suxin decisively shook her head and said: “No need for that. After all, older sister isn’t a professional archaeologist. Finding the clues I need is enough.”
Lu Li also nodded.
His time was quite precious too; he didn’t have the time to stay here for archaeology.
Lu Li asked: “Then what do we do next? Is there any clue left here, like where they went after leaving this valley?”
Qu Suxin shook her head: “It really doesn’t say above, only that they continued pursuing Xerneas, without saying in which direction they migrated.”
“Then follow my feeling?” Lu Li suggested proactively.
“Listen to you.” Qu Suxin nodded without hesitation.
Lu Li had already proven with facts how reliable his ideal power was.
“This direction.”
After activating the Qi Gazing Technique, Lu Li pointed to the direction with the most and brightest colors.
Gardevoir asked via telepathy: “Approximately how far?”
Lu Li raised his hand to calculate, and after a moment, Lu Li said: “About 170 kilometers.”
Gardevoir nodded, then took the two and used teleport again.
Hmm?
“It doesn’t seem like the place I said.”
Lu Li, who had reappeared, said puzzledly.
Gardevoir shook her head with a serious expression and said: “I know, that place can’t be gone to.”
“Why?” Lu Li asked.
With Gardevoir’s strength, besides the secret realm overlord’s territory which couldn’t be gone to, what other place could stop her?
Gardevoir explained via telepathy: “There are two champion level Pokémon there. If we intrude, we will be attacked by these two Pokémon.”
Lu Li: “…”
Should they go?
Lu Li was a bit conflicted.
What was certain was that there were definitely good things there.
But two champion level ones.
Qu Suxin asked: “Is there any trace of Xerneas inside?”
Lu Li shook his head.
“Then go to another place.” Qu Suxin decisively shook her head.
Battles between champion level Pokémon were too terrifying. It would definitely alarm the secret realm overlord again, and with that one’s personality, she would absolutely have no chance to escape then.
Lu Li also nodded.
Not to mention participating, in a battle of champion level Pokémon, he would have to waste dozens of teleportation talismans just to survive.
Helpless, Lu Li could only take out the turtle shell again.
The occasionally awakened Terapagos sighed: “Forget it, I’ll help you.”
Isn’t it just finding the x deer? Let me see where It is.
“Holy shit~”
Terapagos, already deeply influenced by Lu Li’s language habits, couldn’t help but swear.
“Are humans in this era this crazy? Yveltal of all things has believers? Has this world gone so off the rails that I don’t recognize it anymore?” Terapagos was stunned.
Just now, It had casually used the power of destiny to locate Xerneas, and ended up seeing Yveltal and Its bitter foes.
If the future destiny wasn’t changed, Blue Star might have to restart again.
Considering the trouble It had added to the time-space twin gods before, Terapagos decided to lighten the burden for those two.
Thinking of this, Terapagos gently plucked the long string of destiny.
As the three ancient copper coins landed.
Lu Li exhaled heavily, his facial expression instantly becoming extremely colorful.
This divination was very outrageous.
“You’ve made it! I actually divined the habitat of a divine beast!” Lu Li was shocked.
Can even divine beasts be divined? And a tier 1 god at that?
Lu Li really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, what merit do I have for this.
Seeing Lu Li’s peculiar reaction, Qu Suxin asked concernedly: “What’s wrong? Did your ideal power fail?”
Lu Li gave Qu Suxin a complicated look, then explained: “No, it’s that the effect was too good.”
“How so?” Qu Suxin asked nervously.
Lu Li said: “I seem to have found where Xerneas is.”
Hearing this, Qu Suxin was instantly ecstatic. The excited Qu Suxin asked: “Where?”
Qu Suxin didn’t expect ideal power to be so outrageous, able to precisely locate an existence at the tier 1 god level.
Qu Suxin sincerely praised: “Your ideal power is simply too terrifying.”
“To be honest, this was an exceptional performance. I also find it very outrageous. Normally, I shouldn’t have this ability.” Lu Li was equally puzzled, even finding it extremely outrageous.
Qu Suxin, fully focused on Xerneas, comforted: “It’s normal. Some abilities are sometimes effective, sometimes not. This time it might just be particularly effective.”
Lu Li could only accept this explanation. Clearly unable to divine gods normally, yet this time he did.
If in the cultivation world, he would at least worry about the karma behind it now.
But the problem was this was the Pokémon World, a world where divination required no price, so no need to worry about major karma behind it.
Because this world didn’t seem to follow that logic.
“At this location, it might be hard to find, and it’s underground.” Lu Li sent the address he divined to Gardevoir via spiritual power.
Equally extremely excited, Gardevoir nodded impatiently.
Purple radiance began flashing intensely in Gardevoir’s eyes. Because this teleport distance was quite far, it needed some charging.
Whoosh~
The sound of breaking space rang out.
As soon as Qu Suxin and Gardevoir emerged, they looked around in horror.
“What’s going on?” Qu Suxin asked nervously.
Gardevoir also shook her head in panic and explained: “I don’t know, he seems to have gone in.”
Qu Suxin: “…”
“Can’t we go in?”
Looking at the cave entrance in front of her, Qu Suxin asked unwillingly.
“It’s very strange. This place should have a special aura, probably Lord Xerneas’s fairy aura. Normally, Xerneas’s legendary aura shouldn’t repel us fairy type Pokémon.” Gardevoir stared at the cave entrance puzzledly.
Qu Suxin asked: “So we can only walk in?”
Gardevoir nodded: “That’s all we can do. No spatial type moves can be used inside Xerneas’s legendary aura, at least I can’t. To go in, we can only walk.”
“Then why did Lu Li go right in?” Qu Suxin asked.
“I don’t know. Maybe because of ideal power?” Unable to find a reason, Gardevoir could only attribute it to the ideal power.
