Chapter 563: Honorable One

Translator: Iamgt  Editor: LucasCurrently, many of the palaces in the Blind Bear Mountain Range were ruined. Because of the fight between Teng Qingshan and Huang Tianqin, many palaces were destroyed.Huang Tianqin, Yu Feng, and Liu Xia stared at the surroundings.“All the law enforcers, take the disciples and check for damages in the other palaces,” Yu Feng ordered as he stood on the staircase. Immediately, several middle-aged men and elders bowed in response. Then they led the elite disciples, who were still confused and scared, and left.“Let’s go in,” Huang Tianqin said with a sigh.“I really don’t know where this freak came from…” Liu Xia said with hatred as he shook his head.Yu Feng remained quiet as he followed Huang Tianqin and Liu Xia into the Sacred Palace.In the great hall of the Sacred Palace:Teng Qingshan and the Undying Phoenix stood in the center of the hall. They looked around, but they didn’t see the Honorable One.“Honorable One, why aren’t you revealing yourself?” Teng Qingshan said loudly.Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!At this moment, the three Supreme Elders of Emperor Yu’s Hall came up the stairs and stepped into the great hall. Simultaneously, Yu Feng closed the doors of the Sacred Palace.Creak~~~ The enormous copper doors were shut.The entire hall instantly became dark.“Teng Qingshan, if you want to meet the Honorable One, please be patient,” Liu Xia said in an indifferent tone. He walked to the side of the hall and lit up the two lanterns located on the left and right sides. With the two lanterns, the gloomy hall became occasionally bright and occasionally dark.“What’s so mysterious?” Teng Qingshan grinned. He scanned the surroundings…Huang Tianqin, Yu Feng, and Liu Xia stood at the side obediently.The Undying Phoenix, who was beside Teng Qingshan, flapped its wings impatiently and flames emerged and enveloped its body. For a moment, the light of the flames that pranced around the Undying Phoenix’s body was bright than the two lanterns.“Where is the Honorable One?” Teng Qingshan asked confusedly.“Eh?”Teng Qingshan distinctly perceived a dark and vigorous force approaching from behind the hill outside. Instantly, this dark aura leaped in from the window on the seventh floor and descended directly in the hall. Teng Qingshan had sensed this dark and vigorous force long ago.“This doesn’t seem right. This aura reminds me of the powerful aura of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. This should be an Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast,” Teng Qingshan thought to himself as he devoted his entire attention to the dark force. “How could this be the Honorable One?”In the gloomy great hall:A huge, blurred figure stood ahead. He wore dark golden armor and appeared quite conspicuous in the gloomy hall. With a height of 2 Zhang (5 meters), he was incredibly tall. He also wore a dark golden helmet and a mask that covered all his facial features, including his eyes.“We pay our respects to the Honorable One.”Huang Tianqin, Yu Feng, and Liu Xia said respectfully.“What a big fist.” Teng Qingshan stared at the hands of the enormous giant.The figure had a height of 2 Zhang, but his fists were even bigger. It was crazy. His fists were like two enormous rocks. Those two huge fists wore a pair of huge, dark golden gloves. On the knuckles of the gloves, there was a row of spikes. These fists could even make a hole in a mountain.“Young man, didn’t you say you wished to see me? Why aren’t you talking now?”“Are you the Honorable One?”Teng Qingshan stared at the strange-looking figure, who was masked and completely enveloped by the battle armor. At a glance, the figure seemed like a robotic monster from the sci-fi movies shown in his previous life. The strangest thing was that the aura of the figure was obviously that of an Emptiness Realm Expert.Huang Tianqin was already an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert, but he still paid his respect to the Honorable One. This was the strangest thing.“If I am not the Honorable One, who would it be?” The deep-sounding voice sounded again.“Honorable One, can you remove the helmet and unveil your mask?” Teng Qingshan asked.“Yes.”The Honorable One replied loudly. With his huge right hand, the Honorable One grabbed his helmet and removed the helmet, showing his true appearance. The Honorable One stared at the Teng Qingshan and showed a white row of teeth.“Impossible!“How could you be…”Teng Qingshan was very astonished.When the Honorable One removed his helmet, Teng Qingshan saw a huge bear head! Yes, the Honorable One was a bear! This enormous bear had small eyes and emanated a golden-colored aura.“It’s no wonder his hands, arms, and legs are so big and thick,” Teng Qingshan thought to himself. Earlier, he had thought that the body proportions of the Honorable One were a little strange. His body proportions did not seem like that of a human. Now that he had seen the huge bear head, Teng Qingshan completely understood. The Honorable One was a bear-type demonic beast that had reached the Emptiness Realm Culmination!“Very surprised?” The deep-sounding voice sounded again. Yet the Honorable One didn’t even move his mouth.“Why are you able to talk?”Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, “It’s impossible for demonic beasts to speak.”“Why would it be impossible?” Huang Tianqin sneered coldly as he stood at the side. “Teng Qingshan! You are the ignorant one here now! Let me ask you! How do Emptiness Realm Experts use the Sound Transmission Technique and how do they hear voices that are 20-30 Li away?”Teng Qingshan suddenly realized something…The Sound Transmission Technique was performed by duplicating the vibrations of the words spoken by someone in someone else’s ears and naturally forming a sentence.The same principle was used to hear a voice that was 20-30 Li away. One just needed to duplicate the vibrations formed by the audible words of a person who was 20-30 Li away to hear what that person said.“An Emptiness Realm Expert can create any kind of vocal vibration.” Huang Tianqin smiled as he explained, “By just spending some time, any Emptiness Realm Expert can learn and master the Language of Beasts. This is because Emptiness Realm Experts have very good control of their own voices. ”Teng Qingshan nodded. He understood this principle.“If Emptiness Realm Demonic Beasts had someone to teach them the language of humans, they would be able to understand what we say,” Huang Tianqin said. “It is absolutely possible, but there aren’t many experts who are willing to spend so much time teaching demonic beasts.Teng Qingshan froze. Demonic Beasts were as intelligent as humans.Li Jun could definitely help a demonic beast understand the language of humans.“Huang Tianqin, they might understand, but they won’t be able to speak like us,” Teng Qingshan said. They were constrained by their vocal cords. The vocal cords of humans could make many kinds of sounds. However, demonic beasts were absolutely restrained by their own vocal cords. They could not make the sounds that we can make.“True. However, Emptiness Realm Demonic Beasts can control the vibrations of voices and use the vibrations to create voices,” Huang Tianqin said.“This…”Teng Qingshan felt that his world had collapsed. He stared at the tall and big bear with eyes filled with disbelief.Teng Qingshan knew that voices could be created by controlling the vibrations! However, Emptiness Realm Experts could only duplicate the vibrations of the words they had said! They could hear the voices 20-30 Li away because they duplicated the same vibrations.The vibrations of sounds in the air are very complicated.It was easy to duplicate.However—It was extremely difficult to remember the vibrations of every character and combine the vibrations of each character into the vibrations of an entire sentence. Yet the Honorable Bear was able to control the sound vibrations and form words with the vibrations. This was too difficult!“Young man, I know why you are surprised.” The tall and big Honorable Bear lowered his head and glanced at Teng Qingshan with a smile. “Indeed. Compared to learning the Language of Beasts, it is over 1,000 times harder to learn to speak the language of humans through the control of sound vibrations! Back then, Emperor Yu spent 10 years teaching me the language of humans. However, it took me over a thousand years to learn to speak and master it.“Over a thousand years?” Teng Qingshan took a deep breath and stared at the Honorable Bear with admiration.With a teacher, it would take an Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast ten years to understand the language of humans.However, it took the Honorable Bear over 1,000 years to create sentences with sound vibrations. The difficulty level was obvious.In the gloomy hall, Teng Qingshan and the huge Honorable Bear stared at each other.“That must be the child of the Phoenix, right?” the Honorable Bear said with a smile as it glanced at Little Blue. “I still remember the fight with that Phoenix…. Within the blink of an eye, a few thousand years passed.”“Honorable One, back then, you and Emperor Yu…”Teng Qingshan widened his eyes as he exclaimed in surprise. Suddenly, he remembered the stories of Emperor Yu recorded in a book.According to history, when Emperor Yu was harnessing the rivers, there was a black bear helping Emperor Yu cut through the mountains and destroying any obstacles. There was even a legend—Emperor Yu had transformed into the black bear and slashed the mountains.“Could this Honorable Bear be the Emptiness Realm bear-type Demonic Beast from back then?” Teng Qingshan gasped in astonishment.Huang Tianqin said confidently, “Yes, the founder of Emperor Yu’s Hall was hindered by the mountains when he was harnessing the floor rivers. Our Martial Ancestor had only split apart a few mountains, but the Honorable Bear was the one who smashed through many hills and mountains. In this world, the Honorable Bear is the strongest Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast.”Teng Qingshan felt his heart palpitating.“No—”The Honorable Bear shook his head and replied with a smile, “Back then, that fiery Phoenix was weaker than me. However, that was when she had not reached her peak. With her talent, she has boundless prospects. If she had fled, I wouldn’t have been able to catch up.”Teng Qingshan could tell that Little Blue’s mother had lost against the Honorable Bear. It’s no wonder Little Blue’s mother feared the Land of the Nine Prefectures. However, Little Blue’s mother had grown extremely powerful.“I was able to subdue the demonic dragon in the Great Yan Mountain because the Great Yu forged this battle armor for me.” As the Honorable Bear clenched his fist, Teng Qingshan felt that the atmosphere had shattered. Immediately, the Honorable Bear smiled as he looked at Teng Qingshan and asked, “I know your name… Teng Qingshan, the young man who opened the Heavenly Flood Palace, right?”“Yes.” Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.“I am sure the Honorable One knows why I am here.” Teng Qingshan was very straightforward.The Honorable Bear glanced at Huang Tianqin and the other two and asked, “You three, tell me what happened.”
