Chapter 256 -220 The Legend of the Seven-colored Tail

A very odd feeling—it was strange that both handbooks mentioned the same person, yet both conveniently omitted the person’s name.

Sonia and Diya were also clueless about this, but it was just an insignificant detail.

The reason Ash even brought it up to Sonia was simply because it was such a coincidence that it merited a bit of gossip, but he wasn’t really all that curious.

After all, nobody knew when the owners of these two handbooks were from, and the ‘she,’ ‘that woman’ mentioned might well be dead already. If fate would have it, maybe they’d even get to flog her corpse!

This was what made the Void Realm so fascinating, it was the destination of knowledge and the tomb of Mages.

Each Mage’s Handbook here was etched with a life story from thousands of years ago, whereas those deeply affecting tales might no longer have any record in reality.

Reality was so cruel to everyone, but the Void Realm cherished every child.

Ash handed the Mage’s Handbook back to Diya; once she absorbed it, her hair quickly turned back to white.

“What abilities did you gain?” Ash asked curiously.

“This should be considered private, right? How dare he ask? Go, White Queen, berate him!”

“My dear Princess, we’re now teammates with them, and we should be open about information that might enhance our combat power.”

Diya, feeling a bit strange, said, “I’ve acquired a sensing ability called ‘Love Hunt.'”

“What?”

“It means I can easily sense if someone harbors feelings of affection toward another person.”

Upon hearing this, Sonia instinctively took a step back.

However, she saw the Witch wink at her with a look that said ‘even without this ability, I could easily see right through you,’ so Sonia forced herself to look the Witch in the eye. Nevertheless, she couldn’t hide the blush spreading across her face.

Ash recalled the content at the end of that handbook: “Speaking of which, that Task Mage later seemed to have caught many concealed couples in the Holy Temple. Could it be that she awakened her own talent when she exposed Frank and became a love cop? But this ability is also pretty good, definitely more practical than my ‘Shit Shoveling Proficiency,’ ‘Joyful Secrets (effective only on females over two meters tall).'”

The three returned to the sports car, and not long after they started driving, they heard a thunderous boom from the distant sky, followed by the cracking sounds of an explosion.

But with the obstruction of the reverse Golden Rain, they couldn’t see what was happening at all, only faintly sensing that there was a battle in the air.

“Some people really do have a death wish.”

Sonia looked a little surprised but not the least bit shocked.

Diya shrugged, “It happens once every two or three nights; during intense periods, there have even been three in one night. After all, the chasm from Golden Level to Holy Sanctuary Level is just too difficult to cross.”

Ash blinked, “Do you guys know what happened?”

“A Mage fully spread their Two-winged and took to the skies.”

“Fully spread their Two-winged… Oh, right!”

Ash suddenly awoke and looked at Sonia, “Can’t we just fly up? Flying has to be faster than driving, right?”

“No, we can’t,” Sonia shook her head and pointed in the direction of the booming sound, “Once a Mage tries to fly, the large Knowledge Creatures in the vicinity will immediately sense it. They will mercilessly attack any Mage who attempts to follow the reverse stream of the Golden Rain, as if the Mage who stepped on the lawn deserves punishment.”

“The difficulties Mages face while flying in the Time Continent are much more serious than when we were expelled by Monsters in the Sea of Knowledge last time; because monsters will attack from all directions, and it’s air combat. Even the most resilient Weak Mages will be quickly devoured.”

Ash, still traumatized from their experience of being hunted by nine Knowledge Creatures after triggering the ‘Secret Poison,’ asked, “Then why would they want to fly?”

“Because they are searching for the Seven-colored Tail,” Diya said.

“Seven-colored Tail?”

“Just like the legend of the golden fish in the Virtual Realm,” Sonia explained, “It is said that the Heavenly Carriage Bull has a Seven-colored Tail, and if you follow this tail, you will reach the back of the Heavenly Carriage Bull, which is the third layer of the Virtual Realm—the Distant Realm.”

Ash asked curiously, “If the Distant Realm is right above the White Bull, why not just fly up there? Why do we need the Seven-colored Tail? The sky isn’t covered, after all.”

“The main reason is that Two-winged Mages can’t possibly fly to the top of the sky,” Diya said, “In the more than one month since I set foot on the Time Continent, I’ve heard of a dozen or more Mages being hunted and killed by Knowledge Creatures in the sky, but not one flew over five hundred meters; without exception, they all fell.”

“These Mages who could and dared to fly undoubtedly had their wings fully extended, and might have even formed a tactical system, possessing many Two-winged Technique Spirits and Miracles. Saying they are strong among the Two-winged Mages is not an exaggeration. If it wasn’t for the fact that they absolutely couldn’t raise their faction realm to the Holy Sanctuary Level, they wouldn’t have risked challenging the sky.”

“But even they can’t touch the sky, which proves that relying on flying to reach the Distant Realm is completely impractical.”

Ash tilted his head, “But isn’t the Seven-colored Tail also high in the sky? After all, it’s the White Bull’s tail.”

“I found some information that says the Seven-colored Tail might be very, very long, and might even hang down to the ground,” Sonia said, “These Mages fly not to traverse the sky, but to search for the Seven-colored Tail within the Golden Rain.”

“Although there’s no evidence, many Mages believe that once they enter the Seven-colored Tail, Knowledge Creatures will not continue to attack them, and they will be able to fly along the Seven-colored Tail to the Distant Realm.”

“So the true significance of the Seven-colored Tail is a ‘safe flight path’…” Ash finally understood, “That’s a miraculous way to smuggle oneself…”

“Before, I would have definitely considered the Seven-colored Tail to be a legend passed down erroneously among Mages,” Sonia spoke with anticipation, “But now it’s different. Observer, go for it, find the Seven-colored Tail just like you found the golden fish!”

“It’s not that simple,” Ash said irritably, “I feel that the truth behind the Seven-colored Tail, just like the true face of the golden fish, is definitely a lot different than the rumors. Otherwise, other Mages would have discovered it by now and it wouldn’t remain a legend.”

“They are so arrogant; only a few Mages in the All Virtual Realm have found the Seven-colored Tail, and they come here with it as their goal. Go ahead and laugh at them!”

“If you’re so eager to express your desires, you do it.”

“White Queen, you’ve changed, you don’t love me anymore.”

“My dear Princess, even if I love you, I would still find you annoying.”

Ash spurred the sports car to chase time, looking at the Void Realm Map’s area indicators and resolving to scavenge at least one more resource point tonight.

Suddenly, a series of gold areas appeared on the Void Realm Map.

Based on past experience, the gold areas represented adventures, but the area indicator gave Ash the creeps—

“Everyone will grow old and die, including you, so you have to hurry up.”
