Chapter 351 Racial Talent
Emperor Jiang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I was fine staying here alone, and now I have to share it with you two. Do you think I am happy about this?"
The bald one and Xiao Huang continued to chirp.
Shi Nian glanced at the two little ones, then looked at Emperor Jiang and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, they want to advance to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they have been cultivating here, how long will it take?"
Emperor Jiang said, "It won't take very long, with my assistance, it would just be a matter of months. But the cultivation of Demon Beasts is inherently slow, and if they want to advance to Golden Immortal, Profound Immortal, or even Demon Emperor Realm afterward, the time required would be unimaginably lengthy."
If it were anyone else, Emperor Jiang wouldn't bother to say all this.
But aren't they his elder brother and second sister?
Although he enjoyed seeing their follies, he still needed to lend a hand when he could.
After all, during those endless years in the Chaos, it was them who protected him, and now it was his turn to protect them.
Besides, Emperor Jiang had his own little scheme; he planned to record all their chirping and play it back in their ears once they regained their memories.
Their expressions would definitely be a sight to behold then.
Thinking this, Emperor Jiang almost burst into laughter again.
Shi Nian thought for a moment and then said to the two little ones, "You are currently lacking Chaos Aura, unable to advance. If you keep following me, you can only stay inside the Beast Taming Bag, because my Cultivation is continuously progressing, and at your current level, you definitely cannot stand by my side."
What Shi Nian said was the stark truth.
The expressions of the two little ones fell.
Shi Nian felt some pity, but continued, "How about this, you have two choices now, and you can decide for yourselves. The first option, keep following me, but your Cultivation won't improve, you can only stay in the Beast Taming Bag or in a cave abode. The second option, you get stronger along with me, although it might mean a temporary separation, but in the future, we will fight side by side once again."
These two choices...
Were very realistic.
And very troubling.
The two little ones hung their heads dejectedly for a moment before finally choosing the second option.
Shi Nian also knew that they would eventually choose this path.
She gently stroked the fur of the two little ones, and then softly said, "Senior, I'll leave them in your care for now."
The bald one and Xiao Huang reluctantly jumped into Shi Nian's arms.
Shi Nian gently stroked them, "Don't worry, I won't leave this place until I become an Immortal Emperor. When I leave, I will surely take you with me. Xiao Huang, have you forgotten? I promised to reunite you with your little master."
Xiao Huang earnestly nodded.
Seeing the bald one still had a sorrowful face, it softly comforted its own brother, and finally, the bald one managed to hold back its tears.
Emperor Jiang watched this heartrending scene of separation for a while, then leisurely said, "You don't have to make such a big fuss."
Shi Nian & the bald one & Xiao Huang: "???"
Emperor Jiang raised an eyebrow, "Did you see the Transmission Array earlier? This Transmission Array leads directly to the outer world. Who do you think constructed it?"
Shi Nian blinked her eyes, somewhat surprised, "Senior, do you mean..."
Emperor Jiang coughed lightly, "Having lived all these years, I ought to have learned something. Not to boast, but when it comes to skill in Arrays, I claim to be second, and no one in the Immortal World dares to claim first. Especially with this Spatial Array..."
Emperor Jiang glanced at the bald one, "Because I have encountered the top-level Space Divine Power before, so, I am even better at Spatial Array compared to other Arrays."
The implication in those words...
Shi Nian's eyes lit up.
Emperor Jiang cleared his throat and said, "Where is your cave dwelling? I'll set up a Transmission Array for you, so you can come here anytime. There's no need to refuse, I only..."
Before Emperor Jiang could finish, Shi Nian readily accepted: "Thank you, senior."
Refuse?
Whoever refuses is a fool!
Emperor Jiang's words were choked off, and he looked at Shi Nian with some resignation, then said, "Lead the way ahead, I could use a stretch too."
Shi Nian happily agreed.
"Host, ask that, ask that," the little one echoed non-stop in Shi Nian's mind.
Having no choice, Shi Nian had to ask, "Senior, earlier in the cave, I suddenly remembered a lot of past events. Was it a technique you used?"
The little one pricked up its ears quickly.
It was very confident in itself; even if it were a Divine being, penetrating Shi Nian's soul would be hardly possible under its protection.
Yet, Shi Nian was still influenced.
This matter, it would not let go until it was clear.
Emperor Jiang smiled and said, "Well, it wasn't a magic technique. This is my Racial Talent. Just like Baldy's Racial Talent is Space Divine Power, and Xiao Huang's is Unlimited Restoration, my Racial Talent is Illusion Wave. I can construct a piece of information in my mind, like just now, I constructed the characters for relatives and friends. This information will subtly resonate in your subconscious through the entire Crystal Stone Mine, cycling repeatedly, and naturally, you'll start to remember your relatives and friends. When a person thinks of their loved ones, they tend to lower their guard. If I attack at that moment, I would have a considerable advantage."
Emperor Jiang didn't hide anything.
Mainly because even if you know about this Racial Talent, there's no way to guard against it.
The little one listened and finally understood.
"This Emperor Jiang's Racial Talent is not soul control. It's more like psychological suggestion, making you naturally follow his thoughts. Coupled with this entire Crystal Stone Mine, he must have refined it entirely; it's like a huge Magic Treasure. Inside this Magic Treasure, his Talent is enhanced, which led you to be slightly influenced," the little one finally figured it out and concluded, "Host, you are simply too weak. If you were at his realm, you wouldn't have been influenced whatsoever."
Shi Nian pretended not to hear and while following Emperor Jiang to find Qing Yi and Lin Lei, she asked curiously, "Senior, what is Racial Talent? It seems that Baldy and Xiao Huang have more than one skill. They have already grown all three feathers on their heads; each feather should correspond to a different ability."
Emperor Jiang glanced and replied, "These three feathers indeed each represent a different Talent. A Talent is not unique; in the endless stretches of time, it's very possible for another Demon Beast to awaken the same Talent. But a Racial Talent is different."
"This is something unique to Chaotic Beasts and Super Divine Beasts; Racial Talent is one of a kind and can never repeat. Baldy and Xiao Huang's Racial Talents have actually not awakened yet. Wait till they awaken, then you'll understand, ordinary skills are trash compared to Racial Talent," Emperor Jiang calmly stated.
The skills of Baldy and Xiao Huang, that could only be said to be strong, very strong!
But, such powerful talents, in front of Racial Talent, are still just garbage?
Not to speak of Baldy and Xiao Huang, Shi Nian was getting excited too.
As they talked, they had already returned to the original place.
Qing Yi and Lin Lei were huddled together, shivering.
Seeing Shi Nian.
Qing Yi's eyes brightened up: "Gran..."
But seeing the current state of Shi Nian, she felt it was inappropriate and swallowed the remaining word back down.
