Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Root of the Mantra

Mantra, or incantation, is not a written word.

Rather, it is a root composed of 3 ancient civilization characters [deformation].

This root has a high degree of stability and can carry the will and spirituality of the Awakened.

The three ancient scripts used to construct the Mantra exclude the Bu Script, the Jomon Script, and the Doumu Luo Script.

Take 3 of the remaining 12 ancient civilization scripts, and you can construct [Mantra] after [Deformation].

However, the mantra at this time is only the root of the word, and only when the awakened person injects his own spirit and will into it, can the root of the word "come to life" and turn into a real mantra.

As for the effect of the spell, it depends on the user's will to infuse it.

Chen Qi coveted the [Spell] on the spiral horn of the big black dog, of course, not to decipher its specific effect, but to be interested in how it [deformed].

For [Mantra], the perfection of the chimeric transformation of the three ancient characters directly determines its bearing capacity and stability.

The above knowledge comes from the "Encyclopedia of Basic Knowledge of Ancient Civilizations" and "The Diary of Jomoya".

As for the specific construction method of [Mantra Root], how to deform, and how to inject spirituality and will, Chen Qi didn't know anything.

These knowledge [Qiao Moya] are not qualified to be contacted, and Chen Qi naturally has no channels to obtain it.

This is also the reason why Chen Qi did not hesitate to take risks and snooped on the spell on the spiral horn of the big black dog.

As long as he can crack the law of deformation, Chen Qi can obtain a method of constructing [Mantra Root].

This kind of knowledge can be called a secret that cannot be passed on, anyway, in the blue taro country, Chen Qi has no place to learn it.

······

On the test bench, the big black dog shivered.

Chen Qi knocked him unconscious with an impatient punch, and the spiral unicorn finally stopped trembling.

At the spiral angle, 37 lines that shimmer with ghostly light are constantly wandering and changing.

They change from moment to moment, forming different patterns, like a small kaleidoscope.

Chen Qi stared at it, and even turned on [Motion Capture], in a vain attempt to freeze every change in it.

But Chen Qi soon found that this had no effect, and the [Mantra] was still changing at a uniform speed in his eyes, without any signs of slowing down.

His [Motion Capture] failed.

"Could it be that I see this [mantra] not only by my eyes, but also by my own spirituality?"

Chen Qi pondered for a while, and it seemed that only this answer was more logical.

In order to verify this guess, Chen Qi found everyone in the Hummingbird team and asked them to look directly at the spiral unicorn.

As a result, except for Leitre, the moment everyone looked directly at the [Spell], their five senses were completely out of control, and the whole person almost collapsed.

In Liya's description, they only saw a swirling vortex.

Then the world as they perceive it is stirred into a paste.

She felt her eyes see the smell, her ears hear the colors, and her tongue taste the music.

The five senses are out of order, and the whole world begins to become strange and weird.

If it weren't for Chen Qi interrupting their "gaze", the brains of Liya and the others would definitely be destroyed by this crazy cognition.

As for Retrie, he is in a better situation.

But after only looking at it for 1 second, the whole person began to feel unwell and collapsed to the ground.

In his description, he saw dense lines.

That's the number of people who are absolutely suffocated when they see it, and they twist and change like living creatures.

Reitré swore that he saw the strange lines and drilled into his brain.

After those lines penetrated his brain, his body became nauseous and confused, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Is it because the spirituality of ordinary people is too low to look directly at the spell?"

"Retrie's spirituality is probably a little higher than the other four, so he sees dense lines and is closer to the truth than the others."

"As for me, I'm much stronger than their spirituality, so I see all the lines that make up the spell."

Chen Qi thinks this is the answer!

At the same time, he had another idea, if the spirit was strong enough, it could even crush the [Awakened].

So in the eyes of those beings, can they directly see the structure of the [mantra]?

This also gave Chen Qi inspiration, since [Bronze Dice] can suppress the characters of ancient civilizations, can it suppress the roots constructed by them!

As soon as he thought of it, Chen Qi directly summoned a bronze dice and suspended it on a spiral horn.

It turned out that his reasoning was correct, and the speed of the [Spell] did slow down, like an old ox pulling a cart.

If you compare before and after, it is at least 100 times slower.

"How does this work?"

Chen Qi has always been puzzled by the ability of bronze dice to suppress the ancient civilization of writing.

Because according to his analysis, as long as no wish is made, the bronze dice cannot have any effect on the real world.

And now the ancient civilization is an exception!

After eliminating all kinds of speculation, Chen Qi reluctantly found a few logical answers.

NO.1, the reason why the bronze dice can [suppress] or interfere with the ancient civilization text should be related to the six characters on the dice.

The text is imprinted on the bronze dice, which has direct contact with it, so there is no need for a medium.

NO.2, it is possible that the text on the bronze dice is relatively high, which crushes other words.

Therefore, it was not the bronze dice that suppressed the ancient civilization writing, but the 6 peculiar characters.

NO.3, or those ancient civilizations originally had some relationship with bronze dice, or maybe they came from the same source.

As for which answer is correct, Chen Qi doesn't know.

Maybe when he reads the words, he'll be able to figure it out.

······

On the spiral unicorn, 37 lines move slowly.

At a certain moment, more than a dozen lines intertwined together, forming a text that was extremely familiar to Chen Qi's eyes.

"This is the word [condensation] in [Moire]!"

"So the three ancient civilization characters that make up the mantra, one of them is the cloud pattern!"

This discovery gave Chen Qi hope, so he began a long journey of observation with great interest.

Three hours later, the second ancient civilization character was recognized, which was the [Lian] character of the [Flame Script] species.

Another hour later, the big black dog woke up, Chen Qi casually knocked him unconscious, and harvested the word [Cunning] again.

At this point, the three ancient civilization characters that make up the [Mantra] have all been deciphered by Chen Qi.

But this is only the beginning, Chen Qi is seeking the methods and rules of the chimera and deformation of the characters of these three ancient civilizations.

Chen Qi thought that the next step would be smooth, after all, after he recognized the three words, the [curse] in his eyes changed.

[Mantra] is no longer 37 shifting lines, but has become three words that constantly collide and combine.

However, reality immediately taught him a lesson!

"Damn, is this thing still encrypted?"

The three words collided and combined, and Chen Qi picked up 138 changes.

In other words, Chen Qi obtained 138 similar roots, and it is unknown which root is [original].

In fact, if the owner of the [Curse] saw what Chen Qi had done, he was afraid that he would be directly scared to death.

In the same level, only 5% of the people who can distinguish which three types of ancient characters are used in the face of [Mantra].

Only 0.02% could recognize specific characters.

As for picking up all the root changes, I've never heard of anyone being able to do that.

Chen Qi has done it to such an extent, which is enough to shock the world.

Because as long as he becomes an awakened person and infuses his spirit and will into it, the one with the strongest carrying capacity is the [original] root.

Even according to the laws of encryption, Chen Qi can get more.

Maybe there is a real opportunity to obtain a complete set of [root] construction methods.

Although it is only limited to [Moire], [Flame Text], and [Clay Script], it may not be the most perfect method.

But at least the problem of "there is" is solved!
