Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1962 - 1963: A Peculiar Discovery

"Probably, but actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just a reminder for our classmates. After all, the emergence of the Crystal Domain might influence the Beast Competitions. As for the wild..."

Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"No one would question whether you are using your own Beast Tamer or a Spirit Beast to open the Crystal Domain."

Although the specific effects of the Crystal Domain are still under research, Feng Yuan estimates that its biggest use might be in the Beast Competitions. As for its impact in other areas, Feng Yuan is not quite sure. After all, it is only known for now that the Crystal Domain is a kind of Ultimate Move for the arena.

And they rarely have the chance to use such Ultimate Moves in the wild, so Feng Yuan also isn’t sure if the appearance of the Crystal Domain will interfere with field exploration.

After briefly explaining the discovered situation, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"I only know so much about the specifics of the Crystal Domain. More information probably needs to wait for the research results from Maomu University."

After hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, the teacher understood that in future Beast Competitions, the Crystal Domain will probably become an important influencing factor.

Before the Crystal Domain is perfectly integrated into the Beast Competitions, those contests might become relatively chaotic, unless its use is directly banned.

However, this would be unfair to Spirit Beasts like the Hao Chun Bird, which can autonomously open the Crystal Domain, because being able to open it independently suggests that they might be weakened in some aspects.

The teacher thought hard before shaking his head with a wry smile, realizing that these matters aren’t of much relevance to him. The only thing that seems affected at the moment might just be the academy’s assessments.

He looked at the Hao Chun Bird on Qi Chen’s shoulder with complex emotions. Even as a Legendary Beast Master, the teacher felt a tinge of jealousy upon seeing the Hao Chun Bird.

Compared to other students, even though Feng Yuan only briefly mentioned the Hao Chun Bird, along with warning others with the story of Estir storming into the Alliance’s headquarters, she knew very well that special Spirit Beasts inherently possess exceedingly special abilities.

These abilities are gained at the cost of being unable to evolve normally, just like the Pomiti, which Feng Yuan left in the care of the Big Cat, it’s one type of special Spirit Beast. It sacrificed almost all its capabilities in exchange for Pomiti’s so-called ’BUG’ wish-granting ability.

While its flaws are significant, it directly involves the realm of the Divine Beasts’ Authority.

The Hao Chun Bird obviously isn’t that powerful, but she’s well aware that the Hao Chun Bird’s special ability might just be applicable in combat.

And its connection to Estir suggests that the Hao Chun Bird’s attribute might be quite compatible with Ah Mu from Qi Chen’s side. Reflecting on her own situation, the teacher couldn’t help feeling a bit envious, although this strange emotion quickly faded.

"Hehe, you won’t blame me for bringing this up, right?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and Dou Yanlan slightly shook her head, saying,

"Ah Chen and I were thinking about asking if you could hint about the Crystal Domain to others. How could we be mad?"

They’re aware of the influence of the Crystal Domain, but because it involves many aspects, they hesitate to freely reveal its information.

So when Feng Yuan shared details about the Crystal Domain, they were actually quite pleased, as it prevented their classmates from being at a disadvantage in the second Beastmaster competition due to lack of timely information.

Although, as Feng Yuan mentioned, the Crystal Domain can be used by Spirit Beasts in the wild, it is strictly forbidden in Beast Competitions.

Because Beast Competitions are about nurturing your own Beasts — what are you doing bringing a bunch of Spirit Beasts along?

"It’s a bit odd, the Hao Chun Bird seems to be missing something."

Veronia said, after contemplating the Hao Chun Bird resting on Qi Chen’s shoulder, estimating that the actual strength of the Hao Chun Bird should be slightly higher than it appears.

However, this kind of thing, even for Veronia as a Divine Beast, is hard to accurately assess. Thus, she can only assume it’s due to the weaker innate potential of the Hao Chun Bird.

With Feng Yuan uncovering the Crystal Domain, everyone understood that regardless of participating in the Beast Competitions or not, the Crystal Domain is an important influencing factor to consider.

While apart from Class One, other students focus more on the bond with their Beasts, none could ignore strengths and team synergy like Feng Yuan.

They could only choose relatively congenial Beasts within certain limits.

At noon, after finally evading classmates eagerly inviting him for lunch, Feng Yuan hurriedly grabbed Veronia and the others, heading toward the academy’s gate.

Due to the Space Gate explosion, the academy’s entrance was temporarily enclosed, leaving only a small passage for people to pass through.

"Strange, what caused the Space Gate to explode?"

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan looked at Tamur, considering if he should let it try again. Veronia, after some thought, waved her parasol, opening a Space Gate, albeit a very stable and seemingly normal one.

"Seems... there’s no problem."

Unsure of the situation, Veronia flicked her finger, forming a Crystal Rose out of thin air, which flew into the Space Gate. Just as the Crystal Rose passed through, the previously stable Space Gate twisted and exploded as if struck by something.

Fortunately, Veronia had only opened a mini Space Gate, and the small explosion was quickly contained by the preemptive multi-layer defense of Tamur and Veronia.

This time, both Feng Yuan and Veronia sensed where the unusual force came from.

Looking down, Veronia said with a peculiar expression,

"Digging downward? This force—it resembles the repulsion of the Crystal Domain."

Although the exact cause is unknown, the thought is likely correct: the Crystal Domain triggered last night’s explosive Space Gate event.

"Probably, but what kind of peculiar crystal is this?"

With furrowed brows, Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia, who pondered for a moment and said,

"Not sure, but given no such crystals have been found yet, it should be a space or time attribute crystal—those are the most likely tied to a Space Gate."

For now, they haven’t discovered such special crystals; neither time nor space domain crystals have been found by any Divine Beasts. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

For time, there’s a slight chance the Time River might give birth to one, but apart from Lorraine Tower and others, who would venture there to find a Domain Crystal?

And as for space, it’s even more elusive. You could at least guess a Time Crystal might appear in energy-dense locations, but Space Crystals...there’s no equivalent place.

Even Gitalien’s lair doesn’t seem dense with space energy. Besides, who would dare venture to its lair to dig for Domain Crystals?

"Hmm...a Domain Crystal at the academy’s gate...feels strange indeed."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said with slight irritation, logically thinking it shouldn’t be possible because, due to various reasons, the city underwent deep excavation. Not to mention, there’s a network of canals beneath Maomu City, suggesting natural formation of a Domain Crystal at the academy gate is improbable.

"I fear we won’t know the cause until we dig them up."

Veronia remarked with a strange expression; if there truly is a Domain Crystal, could it be naturally formed? This would be intriguing—under such circumstances, no one could predict where a Domain Crystal might emerge.

Upon receiving Feng Yuan’s message, the academy initially suspected it was a prank; Domain Crystal under Maomu Academy’s gate? How bizarre.

However, as they skeptically dug up the cement ground at the academy’s gate, uncovering peculiar light blue crystals intertwining with the cement foundation, everyone was shocked. It turned out there was indeed a Domain Crystal! And it appeared to be a Crystal Vein!

"A space Domain Crystal—no wonder. But why is it here?"

Gazing at the Domain Crystals mingled with the cement, Feng Yuan felt vexed; this thing clearly formed spontaneously. Who in their right mind would, before the Domain Crystal even existed, mix it with cement and bury it underground?
