Chapter 515 - 483: Exterminator of the Giant Spirit Realm

Song Ciwan withdrew her hand, a smile spreading across her face.

The final essence of the Ganlin Healing Skill flowed entirely into Yun Yue’s body, nourishing her damaged form.

Yun Yue’s eyes fluttered open. She suddenly cupped her head in her hands, her voice trembling with excitement. "I... I suddenly feel so light! The poison... is it all gone? Is it? Is it?"

Song Ciwan watched her with a smile. Hearing her repeatedly ask, "Is it?", she replied cheerfully, "Yes, it is!"

Her voice carried a youthful, ethereal liveliness.

Yun Yue cupped her cheeks and cried out in delight, "Wow!"

Song Ciwan tilted her head slightly to watch her, and laughed as well.

The Heaven and Earth Scale received two plumes of energy in quick succession: [Divine Thought. The astonishment, elation, and joy of a Hidden Spirit Level member of the Spirit Star Race, a Heaven and Earth Alien Race. Nearly four pounds. Available for trade.]

[Divine Thought. The glee, exhilaration, and gratitude of a Hidden Spirit Level member of the Spirit Star Race, a Heaven and Earth Alien Race. Over four and a half pounds. Available for trade.]

After "wow"-ing for a moment, Yun Yue lowered her hands and looked at Song Ciwan, stating with absolute conviction, "I have to thank you! I must! What do you want? Just name it! If it’s something I can do, I’ll do it all!"

She was so happy that, for a moment, she didn’t stutter at all.

Moved by her straightforward emotions, Song Ciwan said, "In that case, could you teach me how to practice Raising and Taming Insects? And maybe teach me the language of your Spirit Star Race as well."

’Song Ciwan had been about to add that if Raising and Taming Insects was a secret art of the Spirit Star Race, one forbidden to be taught to outsiders, then she didn’t need to learn it...’

But before she could add that, Yun Yue had already agreed with cheerful haste. "Okay! I’ll teach you. I’m a really good teacher, don’t you worry... I’ll make sure you learn it!"

With that, she grabbed Song Ciwan’s hand and pulled her out of the mine.

The moment they left the mine, the stone wall at the entrance transformed back into a curtain of water.

This time, Song Ciwan also experienced the strange sensation of passing through the watery veil—

As she passed through it, she realized it wasn’t a real curtain of water at all, but more like a void of starry space that gave her an indescribable feeling of weightlessness.

The talents of the Spirit Star Race were simply magical.

For the next while, Song Ciwan stayed by Yun Yue’s side. She met many other members of the Spirit Star Race and began learning their language.

Of course, Song Ciwan was also learning the Spirit Star Race’s art of Raising and Taming Insects.

Yun Yue had claimed to be a good teacher, and she was right.

Although Yun Yue’s verbal skills weren’t the strongest—after all, she and Song Ciwan were from different races. Even though Yun Yue could speak the Great Zhou Language, her knowledge was superficial, and she struggled to express some of the finer points and vocabulary of Cultivation.

Song Ciwan, despite learning the Spirit Star Race’s language, faced the exact same problem—

Everyday conversation in the Alien Race’s language was fine, but as soon as they needed to use Cultivation terminology, she would also find herself stuck.

Funnily enough, despite the language barriers between them, they could always somehow manage to understand each other when it came to the subtle mysteries of Raising and Taming Insects.

The Spirit Star Race tamed insects primarily through music and rhythm.

Yun Yue even gave Song Ciwan a piccolo, a Magical Treasure unique to the Spirit Star Race, and taught her how to use it to tame insects.

In return, Song Ciwan gifted Yun Yue a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, the Three Mountains Seal. Song Ciwan had many Magical Treasures of this level, and since she had little use for them herself, it made a perfect gift.

During this period, Yun Yue went to see the Grand Elder of the Spirit Star Race alone and reported what Zhang Ping had done.

According to Yun Yue, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Star Race possessed the power of the Returning Spirit Level.

The Returning Spirit Level among Divine Spirits corresponded to the Celestial Immortal Level of the Human Race.

Upon hearing this, Song Ciwan sighed inwardly.

’Returning Spirit Level, Celestial Immortal Level... That’s not strong enough!’

’Still, as a native of the Giant Spirit Realm, the Grand Elder should have some sort of home-field advantage when fighting here.’ Song Ciwan hadn’t met the Grand Elder in person, so she couldn’t judge her true power. She could only hope the Elder was stronger than she sounded and could do what Yun Yue had mentioned: seal the entrance to this world and prevent any more of the Human Race from entering.

Song Ciwan wasn’t afraid of such a seal, as she possessed the Green Fall Yellow Springs Leaf.

As for what would happen to the humans still running stalls in the Flower Market when the world’s entrance was sealed, she couldn’t be bothered.

While not all of them were Zhang Clan Members, most were minions and vassals of the Zhang Family. Since they had come to the Giant Spirit Realm, they could forget about ever leaving.

They might not be slaughtered on the spot, but they would certainly be trapped in the Giant Spirit Realm, unable to ever return to the Mortal World.

Song Ciwan received another batch of Five Elements Crystal Pearls from Yun Yue. It turned out that while these pearls could harm the giant insects of this world when fired, a special process could turn them into excellent nourishment for the creatures instead.

The two great secrets to the Spirit Star Race’s art of Raising and Taming Insects were taming them with music and raising them with Five Elements Crystal Pearls.

Additionally, the corpses of some slain giant insects could transform into Five Elements Source Stones, which were excellent for replenishing her Vast Sea Grotto Heaven.

During her time in the Giant Spirit Realm, Song Ciwan spent a great deal of time catching and killing insects.

She placed the ones she caught alive into the Poison King Cauldron to be raised, while the ones she killed transformed into Five Elements Source Stones to replenish her Vast Sea Grotto Heaven.

Yun Yue took Song Ciwan all over their world to find insects, and they effectively became pest control ambassadors for the Giant Spirit Realm.

Every member of the Spirit Star Race they encountered praised the two of them. Some would even run up to Song Ciwan and say with a wide smile, "Xing Lan, you’re so kind! You and Yun Yue have been such a huge help. Our pest control duties are so much easier this year thanks to you."

Some of the more enthusiastic members of the Spirit Star Race even gave Song Ciwan all sorts of small, exquisite gifts.

There were delicate, beautiful wreaths of flowers, beautifully polished stones, and nectars that carried all sorts of sweet fragrances...

Living in a world like this, even while rushing around to deal with insects, Song Ciwan felt that the days were sweet, the creatures were endearing, and all things were wonderful.

Even some of the ugly insects started to look a little bit cute.

Of course, no matter how cute the insects might seem, Song Ciwan wouldn’t hesitate when it was time to kill them, nor would she hesitate when it was time to catch them.

The insects of the Giant Spirit Realm were practically inexhaustible, impossible to ever fully catch or kill. Song Ciwan could go all out, catching and killing to her heart’s content.

Half a month later, Song Ciwan had completely mastered the Spirit Star Race’s art of Raising and Taming Insects. Even when not taming insects, she could lift her piccolo and play all sorts of melodious tunes.

Some were melodies from the Mortal World that she had heard before, while others were distinctive tunes of the Spirit Star Race she had learned from Yun Yue.

The music of the Spirit Star Race was ethereal and lively, full of their people’s unique character. Whenever Song Ciwan played it, she felt her heart fill with joy and all her troubles melt away.

She, in turn, would teach Yun Yue the tunes of the Human Race that she remembered. They learned from each other, sometimes playing duets as they watched the clouds drift across the sky and the water flow on the ground, passing another carefree day.

Then one day, Song Ciwan bid farewell to Yun Yue.
