Chapter 448: Heart’s Tongue

While Sage didnt want to be doing anything that Guan Zhenyan told him to do, he couldnt help his curiosity. The man was making fun of him, but the tip might actually be helpful. All hed lose is a little time sucking up to Tao Ba. After having the Hoplites prepare some food, he called upon the white haired boy and fawned over him for a while before posing the question.

Great Sir. I am on a foreign world, as you no doubt remember. No ones memory is as great as yours, but that hateful fellow Guan Zhenyan doesnt agree. He saw me trying to learn the local language and said: Its too bad that fatty doesnt remember what a Hearts Tongue is!. I told him that even if I didnt know what it was, the Great Tao Ba surely does!

The boys smiling face immediately found a frown and Sage felt a slight pressure build in the air around him, Oh, he did, did he? Hmm, where did I put that troublemaker anyway

Tao Ba started to turn around to leave, and Sage immediately realized how easily his trickery could be seen through. He held up his hands, Wait, Senior! Didnt you say you arent allowed to punish or harm him? Im the one that is making you keep him contained, right?

The boy suddenly remembered that odd day and nodded his head, Oh yes. Of course, I have nothing to do with what that fellow is experiencing.

Ahem. Of course. So, what is a Hearts Tongue, Great One? Can you please enlighten my poor ignorant self?

Tao Ba was quite easy to please, the flattery and praise made him lift his shoulders and puff up his chest. His nose lifted into the air and he rubbed his face like he was tracing a mustache that wasnt there, Why yes. Ill tell you the history of the miraculous Hearts Tongue. Long ago, there was a god who

Being able to talk to peoples pets and mounts could easily dig up all sorts of fun blackmail material, so its no wonder they dont want these things spreading around.

There was also another reason the Hearts Tongue was uncommon. The magical tool ended up looking like an actual persons tongue when it was finished. In order to use it, a person had to sever their own tongue and put the Hearts Tongue into their mouth in its place. At the end of a painful acclimation period it would become a part of their body and replace the function of the tongue completely. The only difference being that the magical tool wouldnt change in appearance. Depending on the materials used, a person could end up with quite a strange looking tongue, and even the most exquisitely crafted ones still looked like a person had arrays tattooed onto their tongue.

The gruesome act was unexpected, but Sage was from a Clan of Insect Cultivators. They had lots of training to get used to doing things that would make the skin crawl. He was more worried about what to make it out of. The Hearts Tongue was mainly a set of array formations, and could be created out of many different materials. The most commonly used being the tongue of a Demonic Beast. Sage mentally took an inventory of all the insects and beasts he had on his Inner World and in the Universe Ring before his thoughts led him somewhere closer.

Im technically a beast, right? If it goes wrong, I can just make another one out of something else. Worst case scenario, I spend a few months in metamorphosis.

With that thought in his head, he brought a few Hoplites over to join him inside the Universe Ring and used the Human Seal to return to his true form. The huge cobra body slowly opened its mouth. One of the Hoplites did as told and reached into the mouth, grabbing the forked tongue and pulling it over the top of a large wooden block. Then another one of them lifted up a large axe.

I suppose I should thank Guan Zhenyan for helping me learn to ignore pain.

Thunk!
