Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the two Divine Beasts.

“Did the two of you meet at that time?” he asked.

“No.” Zhurong was the first to reply. “I wasn’t a subordinate of the Titan God at that time. At that time, I should have been investigating the abnormal appearance of the Earth Fire in the East Continent according to the orders of the Sun Celestial Heavens. Then, I encountered the sudden appearance of the Sky Domain. During this period, I’ve never encountered any Divine Beasts of other races.”

After saying that, it looked at Goulong in doubt. “There was an explosion in the Sky Domain during our investigation, so we sealed off the area around it. How did you get in?” Zhurong asked.

It wasn’t a Divine Beast that was good at perception, but its strength was obvious. It was definitely not easy to escape its Spiritual Energy detection. The approach of a water-type mutated beast would indeed surprise it.

Goulong looked at it as if it was an idiot.

“You guys have indeed sealed it, but the detection range of your Spiritual Energy should only be targeted at the outside world, right?” It mocked. “Even if you can’t see the bottom of the Sky Domain, you should at least set up a detection range inside!”

“You came in from inside? No wonder I didn’t sense it.” Zhurong was a little unconvinced. “Was it because I didn’t want to? As soon as our Spiritual Energy gets close to the Sky Domain, there will be an explosion. Even if we want to set up a Spiritual Energy detection there, it won’t be possible!”

“That’s why it’s normal that you didn’t notice me at that time,” Goulong said. “That was the first time my kind opened the Wind God’s Divine Realm after it was sealed. However, I did it secretly. Other than me, no one from my kind has the ability to drive the land to seal the Divine Realm.”

It revealed an extremely proud expression.

“Then it’s useless for you to investigate, right?” Zhurong started mocking it. “If I remember correctly, the abnormality in the Sky Domain didn’t ease for a long time after that. It wasn’t until the death of the Heavenly God that our kind lost the jurisdiction of that Sky Domain. Not long after that, a new type of mutated beast appeared in the Sky Domain and the situation there gradually became normal… So, even if you really slipped into that Sky Domain to investigate, you actually didn’t do anything about its problem, right?”

Goulong glanced at it and nodded angrily.

“I really didn’t think of a solution, but it’s better than you guys who don’t even know the reason for the explosion!” It defended itself. “At least I discovered the curse at that time!”

Then, it turned to Ye Chen.

“The Dragon Claw Grass is really too strange. Logically speaking, it’s a plant. Even as the companion plant of the Life and Death Wood, it can absorb other types of Spiritual Energy other than the Wood Spiritual Energy. It could also avoid the Fire Spiritual Energy. After all, it doesn’t want to be burnt.” It mocked, “However, while this batch of Dragon Claw Grass absorbed the Wind Spiritual Energy in the Divine Realm, it also absorbed the Earth Fire that was cursed at that time. I don’t understand this either.”

The so-called Earth Fire was originally the Spiritual Energy left behind by the murderer who killed the Wind God. After burning the Wind God’s body to ashes, it became a curse with the resentment of the dead.

And the Dragon Claw Grass accidentally became the carrier of the curse during the process of absorbing Spiritual Energy.

Zhurong also found this strange.

“To the mutated beasts of the Sun Celestial Heavens, almost all the Mystic Abilities require a certain amount of Fire Spiritual Energy, including the related Mystic Abilities for detection. That’s why we triggered the curse on the Dragon Claw Grass and it caused an explosion. I understand this, but it’s not like I’ve never seen this plant called the Dragon Claw Grass before. It’s indeed afraid of fire. Moreover, even if it can trigger the explosion, I can’t feel any Fire Spiritual Energy from it. Don’t you think so?” As it spoke, it threw a question at Ye Chen.

Indeed, Ye Chen had shown it a fragment of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass before.

“Zhurong is right. I’ve checked the composition of Spiritual Energy in those Dragon Claw Grass from the Sky Domain. There’s no composition of Fire Spiritual Energy in them.” Ye Chen confirmed. “So, you said that it absorbed the Earth Fire that contains the curse, but I can’t see it, why is that?”

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he deliberately pointed at his eyes.

Although the state of his Divine Descendant Body had already faded, the Divine Beasts had always known that he could open the Titan’s Eye and had the ability to see through the attributes of things like the Titan God.

“This is the effect of wind-type Spiritual Energy,” Goulong replied. “After the Wind God’s Spiritual Energy leaked out of the Divine Realm, it could no longer be called Spiritual Energy. Instead, it dispersed into ordinary Spiritual Energy. It caused the Dragon Claw Grass to be abnormal after it was sucked in by it. I also said that no mutated beast could receive wind-type Spiritual Energy at that time. It would modify the meridians of the mutated beast and eventually tear it apart. On this point, it’s the same for plants… I’ll take it down for you to feel.”

It followed the Divine Pillar and flew all the way to the top of the fire array. Its claws hooked down all the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass on the Divine Pillar and handed them to Ye Chen.

“You can take it like this? That really saves time.” Ye Chen immediately took the item and wanted to stuff it into his inventory. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Goulong stood at the side and said, “But don’t be in a hurry to take it. Weigh it first and see if you think this thing is very light.”

It spread its wings and gestured at the Dragon Claw Grass on the ground.

“You can lift this pile of Dragon Claw Grass without using any Mystic Abilities,” it said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at Goulong in doubt.

“I’ve weighed the fragments of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass before. They are indeed lighter than ordinary stones. However, if there are so many of them, I probably won’t be able to move them, right?”

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a bunch of them. His eyes widened. Not to mention that it was in a petrified state, even a circle of plants was heavier than the weight he felt in his hand. Even if someone said that it was made of foam, Ye Chen would believe it on the spot.

“Why is it so light?” he asked in disbelief.

“There’s something you don’t know. This circle comes from the same vein. The Wind Spiritual Energy has already formed a complete circuit inside. Just like the meridians, the more complete the circuit, the lighter it is.” Goulong explained, “At that time, the Dragon Claw Grass was equivalent to being transformed by the Spiritual Energy. When the Wind Spiritual Energy uses something without consciousness as a medium, it will assimilate the Spiritual Energy inside the other party. Perhaps this is also the reason why the Dragon Claw Grass started to absorb the Earth Fire. It might not be considered a plant anymore, right?”

Zhurong also extended its claw and poked the Dragon Claw Grass.

“So, the Earth Fire it absorbed was also assimilated into Wind Spiritual Energy?” It asked Goulong.

“That’s right, but the curse still exists. It will still be triggered when it touches a fire-type substance.” Goulong replied.

Zhurong still looked at it in confusion.

“Since you roughly knew the reason for its explosion back then, why couldn’t you use the Wind God’s consciousness to lift the curse at that time but delayed it until now?” It asked. “Besides, the Earth Fire later spread and brought the Fire Spiritual Energy to the Primitive Continent. Why didn’t I find any traces of the curse?”
