YM778.TV Chapter 357 - Ara Ara.
Yang Dao sat down in front of the ball. Before he had begun to try his idea of opening the cage for the golden crow, he had told the creature that there was another human, who was left out of the pit. He did not tell the golden crow this because he had some care for Amirah, but because he wanted the golden crow to help him guard himself.
During the deep state of meditation, Yang Dao will not be able to do much for himself, and who knows when people get rotten ideas. So it was better to be on guard. The golden crow agreed to it without any hesitation in his mind. After all, he had been stuck in here for a long time.
Yang Dao focused his mind on locating the equilibrium of the two elements to be able to communicate with this \'rock\'. He started with a higher concentration of fire and earth. This compound in front of him was something he had never seen, and it did not react to the normal ways he tried before.
The source energy of the two elements began to merge. It may be a misconception to say that the balance of the two elements must be in equal proportions to make things stable and work, but you know, not everything that was made from carbon, and the pressure they all need to materialize is also different.
So the boy began to slowly melt and blend things to form an equation among them that could help him communicate with the rock in front of him. Elementals communicated with the elements in their purest forms via manipulating the raw forms inside their bodies.
So, communicating with the compounds formed by the union of two or more elements, they would need to find the root equation that resulted in producing them. This was not an easy task as there was a limit to which the humans could perceive the elements until they have ascended. This was not because human potential was limited, but this world was.
All the worlds had their rules, and so did Liro. This was also the reason why the familiar spirits were barred from using their strengths to meddle with the things they wished to. This was also the reason they had to depend on Yang Dao for the exploration of this place. They were well aware that as the child blessed by Dao. He was part of the world itself.
Yang Dao also understood this and thus came over. Now that the mystery has been unveiled in front of him, he had no reasons to hold back. The time passed and after a few hours of constant compression of the source energies, the rock suddenly shivered.
The golden crow inside became excited and was about to yell when it forced itself to calm down. The shivering was the result of elemental resonance. Yang Dao had derived the equation and now he needed to evaluate it. The process was slow but the Dao Child was persistent. After sweating for more than a couple of hours he successfully made the rock tremble and the surface began to split.
This sort of manipulation was not only taxing on the source of energy, but also the mind. Yang Dao, despite all his strength, was a boy who had never practiced mental power. Thanks to his natural endowments, the boy was able to hold on.
The golden cow sensed the splitting of the surface and also began to apply force from the inside. It wanted to use its flames, but when it discovered that Yang Dao was manipulating the elements of the rock, it held back. Interference of any other elemental source would disturb the balance point and will make things go in vain and with the chance of freedom from this cage, the golden crow did not wish to do anything silly.
Yang Dao did not calm down and squeezed himself even more. His resilience had made the golden crow inside give him a new evaluation. He had seen how other human beings were greedy for the mystery inside the rock, but this child not only helped him but even after knowing the secrets of his origin, had never once given birth to any bad thoughts.
Suddenly, a crack split up the rock from the center. The crack was not very big or striking, but it was enough.
Crack...
A golden beak peeked out from the crack and went back inside. Then it came out again and then went in again. This happened a lot many times and slowly, but surely, the gap was widening. After an hour, a golden head protruded out of the rock. It was indeed a bird, a golden scalp with red eyes.
The head looked around flickering fast and began to wriggle. The crack widened even more and with a slight \'popping\' sound, the bird flew out. It was as if a streak of golden lava flying through the void. The heat inside the place seemed to have risen tenfold.
Amirah, who was sitting at the edge of the window, saw this streak and was scared. She thought that Yang Dao had again shot his arrow of flames like earlier and this time he will be claiming her life to keep the secret he discovered a secret. However, after the streak flew in the void at random, it went back deep inside the cave. Amirah was pale, and she did not dare to walk over and look at the pit.
...
In the center of the pit, laid Yang Dao, fainted and bleeding from his nose. The strain of his mental power was too big. After opening the rock, he did have enough energy to sustain his consciousness and fell to the ground.
he did not notice that a golden bird landed on the rock and started to mumble hysterically as it stomped its claws on the rock.
"DUMB SHIT, TRAPPED THIS MOTHER INSIDE YOURSELF. HUMPH, SEE HOW I FIX YOU LATER. First, let me check my savior." and it turned its red eyes to look at Yang Dao.
Watching his handsome face, the crow opened its beak and uttered, "Ara ara."
