Chapter 1038: Chapter 1031: Methods of Treatment

"Kunzhou..." Luo’er muttered this new term under his breath.

"What is that?" Tangmo asked, puzzled.

"It’s a type of giant creature that lives in the sky. They appear between the layers of clouds during thunderstorms, accompanied by lightning, and move with the wind and rain," Feron explained. "Their bodies are incredibly huge and smooth, with fins on both their chests and tails. If the ocean belongs to Leviathan, then the sky is their domain. It’s because when the Creator made Leviathan, He gave all the bad tempers to Leviathan and all the good tempers to these creatures. They are gentle, unlike the irascible Leviathan. Most of the time, they quietly watch over the earth from the sky..."

"Fins? Aren’t they fish then?" the crowd couldn’t help but exchange glances.

However, Baiyue’s attention wasn’t on that, but rather on staring at Feron, frowning as she asked, "Grandfather, the giant creature you mentioned, is it called Kunzhou?"

"Oh, no no no," Feron paused for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "We use these huge yet gentle creatures as a means of transportation, and they are called Kunzhou. As for what we call them, in Tasta language, they should be called... Scouring Sky Giant Beast..."

"Scouring Sky Beast..." the crowd repeated the term silently.

"When the giant beast churns, the heavens and the earth are inverted, hence the name, Scouring Sky Beast," Cheng Ziang suddenly said in Chinese.

"There are beasts in the sky that churn? What’s the principle behind it?" Luo’er asked with an incredulous expression.

"Otherworld has its own principles, do the High-peak people’s airships not fly in the sky as well?" Cheng Ziang shrugged as he spoke.

"That’s two different things," Luo’er said, "High-peak people’s airships can fly because they rely on their anti-gravity runes, which are artificially created. But then, what’s the principle behind the Scouring Sky Beast’s ability to churn the heavens and the earth?"

"Let’s not discuss principles for now; first, we need to understand what kind of continent the Sub-beast Race previously lived on, its location, and what connection Feng and that man have with any continent!" Cheng Ziang said.

"Oh oh, right, right, we got sidetracked," Luo’er nodded and said.

"Our people were disastrously defeated in the war against the Human Race and had to flee our homeland, boarding a Kunzhou, traveling westward, and eventually arriving in this West Continent. Is that correct?" Baiyue repeated Feron’s words and asked.

"Yes, that’s right," Feron nodded, "To confront us, the Human Race mobilized a million-strong army to attack our homeland. Our tribe was the first to be overwhelmed by the million-strong army, and the surviving people had to flee our homeland aboard a Kunzhou. At that time, there was no place left for us on the entire continent, and we could only flee westwards, avoiding the Human Race’s airborne forces..."

"Wait," Luo’er interrupted him, then widened his eyes in shock and asked, "The East Continent Clan has an air force?"

"Oh, that consisted of a huge fleet made up of Kunzhous, numbering over a thousand, and we simply couldn’t resist, being forced to flee..." Feron explained.

"I see..." Luo’er nodded lightly, somewhat relieved.

According to Feron’s explanation, if the East Continent Clan’s main air force is said to consist of Kunzhous, then it could be concluded that the technological level of the East Continent Clan was roughly similar to that of the West Continent, or perhaps slightly higher, but definitely not up to Earth’s level.

With a slight sigh, Feron continued, "Actually, these secrets have been passed down from generation to generation. By our generation, the elders discussed it and decided not to tell the younger ones, letting this Chapter of history be forever forgotten. Our people were to start anew in the New Continent, but what was destined to come, still came..."

"A nation that forgets its history is ultimately forgotten by history itself..." Cheng Ziang suddenly interjected out of nowhere.

"We haven’t completely forgotten, our descendants still grasp our tribal language, Taran and Tara can both speak our people’s language," Feron said.

"Oh, I remember you indeed have your own language," Luo’er nodded and responded.

Luo’er still remembered that the last time they had come to Meila Village, he indeed had heard some unusual language, completely different from the Tasta language. However, at that time, he hadn’t paid much attention to it. Thinking back now, it must have been the Sub-beast Race’s own language.

"I have a question," Cheng Ziang raised his hand and asked, "Those so-called people from the East Continent who drove you out, are they like Feng and that man?"

"Exactly," Feron nodded and then affirmed, "Although I haven’t seen them with my own eyes, we have generation after generation described the appearances of those invaders so that our descendants, upon seeing them, would flee far away. It’s a kind of fear rooted deep in the heart, just like how animals naturally fear their natural predators."

"What natural predators, it’s just that they use magic powerfully, and still, Yue’er managed to knock them down," Hu Daoke muttered quietly.

"So to speak," Cheng Ziang nodded slightly and then looked at Luo’er to say, "Both Feng and that man’s origins can be explained; they are both from the East Continent Clan. Moreover, from their conversation, it is clear that the man came specifically for Feng."

"That doesn’t make any sense," Tangmo frowned and asked with a puzzled face, "I remember the seer saying that when Feng came to this continent, he was still just a baby. How did he recognize Feng?"

"I guess, first by characteristics, second by magic skills," Cheng Ziang pondered.

"How so?" Luo’er asked.

"Firstly, the characteristics," Cheng Ziang explained, "Feng’s features are distinctly different from any Human Race on this continent, whether it’s the Aud people, the Bobulu people, the Ancient States people, or the Blaiqi people. Secondly, her unique method of using magic, absorbing magical power into the body and then releasing it during battle, is also completely different from the prevalent magic circulation on this continent. So I guess, that man must have just happened to come to this vicinity, sensed Feng’s presence, and thus sought her out."

"Grandpa," Baiyue asked, "I just noticed your expression. Do you know how to treat Feng’s illness?"

"Honestly, this thing about magic, we truly don’t understand much, or else we wouldn’t have been driven out of the East Continent in the first place. However, the magic of the East Continent really is different from that of the West Continent, so we still know a bit about these magics," Feron said.

"Then tell us about it," Baiyue squatted in front of him and asked, pulling his hand.

Feron gently patted the back of her hand, then, after pondering for a moment, continued, "That little girl’s bodily gateways are closed, which is why she feels such pain. If the gateways could be opened, perhaps her illness could be cured."

"Can you be more specific?" Tangmo, more concerned about Feng than anyone else, leaned in and asked earnestly upon hearing Feron’s words.

Feron took a few tired breaths, then nodded and continued, "The East Continent people call magical power ’Qi’ and magic skills ’Gongfa.’ They have a special organ in their bodies for storing magical power, located in the lower abdomen, which the East Continent people call ’Qi field.’ This organ can store a large amount of magical power, which flows through the meridians to the limbs and can be manipulated at will..."

Pausing for a moment, he took another breath, then continued, "Among these, there are two most important meridians, known as the Main Meridians. They are located at the chest and spine, called the Front Meridian and Rear Network, specifically connecting the upper body’s meridians. From the Qi field to the Main Meridians, and then to the meridians, there are several important nodes, also called gates. From the recent battle’s description, it seems that man closed the gate of the Front Meridian, hence the magical power couldn’t pass through, causing such pain."

"This, feels quite like Chinese medicine..." Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but remark.

"Now that the cause is found, Grandpa, do you have a way to treat her?" Baiyue asked excitedly.

"Unfortunately, I do not know how to treat it," Feron sadly shook his head, then continued, "This system only applies to the East Continent Clan, not to us, so we don’t know how to reopen the gates on that girl’s body. Perhaps, you might find some answers from that man..."
