Daily life of a cultivation judge

"It's like I guessed the bloodline seems purer than the variant obsidian serpent. Was she born with the evolution in place or was it a result of something else?" muttered Yang Qing as dao glyph markings constantly flushed in his pupils. One was golden yellow with the other being pure white.

The blood trace he just analyzed had the dense pure aura of a flood dragon and it was denser than what the one on the variant obsidian serpent released.

From the evidence Yang Qing guessed that the obsidian serpent couple had found something from a flood dragon which they passed on to their child or the child was born with an awakened flood dragon bloodline and the father was just a beneficiary of the fact.

Such cases were not all too strange among spirit beasts. Some progeny were able to awaken their ancestral bloodline at birth even if their parents had mediocre talents.

Even if Yang Qing had more or less confirmed one of his guesses, the question of how the Blue Soul Flame Crow Syndicate even knew about it remained.

"I still have too little information to work with, maybe it could shed some light.." Yang Qing muttered as his gaze fell on the crystal spring larch whose radiance was slowly illuminating and cleansing the air of desolation and destruction that surrounded the area.

"Spring I need your help. Don't be startled by what I am about to do, I will be accessing some of the residual memory you have of this place in a bit.." Yang Qing said as he sat in a lotus position.

The crystal spring larch fluttered its leaves in response.

"Thanks.." Yang Qing said as his hands moved forming a flurry of seals that combined to form a chain filled with complex runes and ethereal celestial lights.

Myriad world resonant chain

Yang Qing triggered one of the spells contained within his cultivation art called the Myriad world resonant chain. It worked similarly to the soul lake memory lock seal except in the case of the myriad world resonant chain it wasn't his memories he was working with but another party.

A resonant chain would be created then it would link two parties together. Yang Qing who was the controller would be able to see what the crystal spring larch saw. The spell needed complete trust to be executed since both parties would be opening up their sea of consciousness for the chain to work. 

A small seal filled with countless lights swirling together formed on Yang Qing's forehead. One part of the resonant chain attached to that seal while the other end flew towards the crystal spring larch. Once it reached the crystal spring larch, a seal similar to the one that was on Yang Qing's forehead was released from the chain.

The seal triggered a reaction on the crystal spring larch's body as its body rippled like the surface of water as the chain plunged into its body.

With the connection established the countless runes contained within the chain lit up releasing a majestic celestial glow in the area.

Within Yang Qing's mind, a blurry image appeared. It was that of what looked to be a young man whose presence blazed like the sun, was as boundless as the ocean, and contained the verdant lifeforce of an entire ecosystem.

That figure slowly moved to the center of the image that was surrounded by a gloomy black fog of death and with a wave of his hand the black formed was eviscerated and was replaced by a warm glow of resurgence and life.

"Is this how you see me?" Yang Qing muttered with a slight chuckle of embarrassment.

The figure he saw was of him from the perspective of the crystal spring larch. Even though he liked others singing praises about him, he felt embarrassed when he saw the godly image the crystal spring larch saw him as.

The blurry images were then switched. Yang Qing had chosen to start the memories from the moment he met the crystal spring larch going back. Despite its risk, the beauty of the myriad world resonant chain was once the resonant chains were released and a successful connection established, Yang Qing as the controller could see through the memories of the other party as easily as his memories. 

Maneuvering through the memories was as easy as him trying to recall his memories.

Moving backward the memory of the crystal spring larch tree was filled with the constant gloomy black smog of death before finally, the blurry image of two figures appeared. Yang Qing couldn't tell much from the images. Their sex, age, and cultivation realm were indistinct.

"Should have expected as much after all spring isn't completely awakened. It still doesn't have a spiritual sense of its own. All it can transmit is everything from its peripheral senses.." Yang Qing muttered with a sigh as he continued to observe the memory.

The two blurry images moved towards a particular area and then one of them took something out. Immediately after, another figure appeared. 

The two figures seemed like they said something and then the third figure instantly transformed from a humanoid shape into a behemoth. It charged toward the two figures but the object held by one of them seemed to have done something to the behemoth as it halted its movements.

What happened next were faint images of the two figures moving around the behemoth. It looked like they were searching for something.

"Seems like Spring has a deep connection to the third figure.." muttered Yang Qing when he sensed the strong fluctuations that came from the crystal spring larch.

Yang Qing tried to concentrate as much as he could on the two figures or the object they had used but he couldn't glean much from it. The crystal spring larch was too weak to sense any of the details.

"While I can't see much at least it proves they knew about their child and came prepared but if they could restrain it this easily, how did it manage to call out for its parents?" muttered Yang Qing.

"Spring, did you know this figure?" Yang Qing said as he pointed to the behemoth.

There was a sudden fluctuation after which the scenery changed. The scene switched to a bright scene and within that scene was the behemoth figure moving toward the center of the scene. It looked like it was releasing something from its mouth and then left.

The lighting changed from bright to slightly dark, then when it was bright again the behemoth appeared and replicated its actions.

The same scene was replayed over and over then at some point, the behemoth transformed into a humanoid figure. The humanoid figure would approach the center of the image and produce something that would pour from its hand downward. After it finished, the humanoid figure would lie next to the center of the scene.

The same scene kept repeating over and over till it stopped at the scene where the two figures appeared.

Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. It now made sense to him why the crystal spring larch tree stubbornly held on despite the pain the corrosion of the attacks left on its body.

"You were friends huh.... Though it's more apt to say the figure was your parent.." said Yang Qing as he dispelled the resonant chain.
