Chapter II: The Order of Heavenly Punishment
"Since that's the case, then you're not welcome, accept the gift from your predecessors!" Seeing that the Venerable Zhan had already said this, Ye Qiuli naturally stopped refusing to shirk, and after a little politeness, he immediately reached out and took what the Venerable Zhan took out.
This is a palm-sized silver-white token, I don't know what material it is made of, it is heavy and cold to hold, it doesn't look like something that ordinary cultivators can refine, it is indeed very likely to be a treasure left by ancient gods.
In the center of the token, there are countless intricate golden lines, which are linked to each other to form a strange pattern, although I can't understand what it means, but there is naturally an indescribable unique charm in it, which makes people never forget it after looking at it again.
Obviously, there must be some secrets behind such a pattern that ordinary people can't crack at all, as long as they are understood, even if they can't fully know all the secrets of this token, they can have a more accurate understanding of its origin.
However, that kind of situation was placed on the Furious Battle Venerable, although it was indeed a very difficult thing, and it could even be said that there was no clue at all, but in Ye Qiuli's eyes, it was not a problem at all, just a simple scan, and he recognized it on the spot.
It turned out that the pattern was the manifestation of the combination of the words "Heavenly Punishment" in the ancient gods, and the strange token taken out by the Venerable of Furious War should be called "Heavenly Punishment Order" exactly, and I don't know which god made it himself.
As for why the Venerable Battle and the owners of the Heavenly Punishment Orders before him didn't recognize those two ancient gods, but Ye Qiuli could recognize them at a glance with a simple glance? That was an unexpected adventure in the Fire Cave in the Heart of the Silent Star!
Decades ago, Ye Qiuli once accompanied Sikong to pick the stars to collect the Silence Grass on the Silence Star in the southwest of Xiaotian Outer Heaven, and in the deepest part of the Earth's Core Fire Cave on that planet that burned with Nine Ambition Spiritual Fire all year round, he luckily got a drop of Fire God Essence Blood left by the ancient god Zhu Rong.
After refining and fusing that drop of essence blood into his body, he not only learned a lot of precious cultivation materials such as the magic power and the secret of heaven and earth, which had been completely annihilated in the long river of time, but also learned the method of reading and writing ancient divine texts.
At this time, it was precisely by virtue of his familiarity with the ancient divine texts that he could so easily figure out the word "Heavenly Punishment" engraved on this token. The Berserk Venerable and the others had not experienced his adventure, and they could not recognize the ancient gods, so it was naturally not a strange thing.
In fact, since the end of the Ancient God War, after the immortals, demons, demons, Buddhas, gods, humans and other worlds were isolated from each other and born, the entire cultivation world soon entered a new era, and those ancient god scripts that were generally popular before the Ancient God War were slowly replaced by some simpler and more intuitive words, and finally completely submerged in the endless river of history, and not many people knew about it anymore.
And with the passage of time, with the development and growth of the modern cultivation realm, those ancient immortal texts that evolved and developed from the ancient gods were slowly lost in the vast and endless historical time and space, and not many people knew how to use them.
In the current cultivation world, the characters commonly used by cultivators are modern characters that have been simplified and adjusted for countless years, and their complexity is not known to be many times simpler than the ancient divine scripts and the ancient immortal scripts.
Therefore, in the modern cultivation world, there may still be some top masters with a long tradition who know some ancient immortal texts, and even after some in-depth research, they can successfully write them, but for the ancient divine texts that are countless years older than the ancient immortal texts, then there is nothing they can do at all, even if they really put them in front of them, I am afraid that not many people will shift their attention to that aspect.
In the current era when the acquired cultivation exercises are in vogue, those cultivators who still have some understanding of the ancient divine texts, I am afraid that there are only those hermit masters who are about to truly advance to the realm of gods, and other cultivators, even if they are also among the top masters of the immortal and demon-level cultivators, such as Luo Tianshang Immortal, Nine Heavens Xuan Immortal, Demon Lord, Demon Emperor and other figures, I am afraid that not many people really have the ability to read and write the ancient divine texts.
Of course, there are no surprises in the world, no one knows what will happen, and those characters who are not highly cultivated, but who know the ancient gods, are not completely non-existent. Not to mention that those senior masters who specialize in this aspect of history may learn to read and write ancient gods in advance, just like Ye Qiuli, people who know those things because of some special adventures have also appeared.
Therefore, Ye Qiuli's ability to recognize the ancient gods was not such a miraculous thing. Although his adventure is indeed very rare, and it may be rare to have one in millions of years, it is not impossible to happen after a real coincidence.
Anyway, no matter what, with this special ability as a basis, he can indeed take a great advantage at this time. Those things that the Berserker Venerable and others couldn't study clearly, in his eyes, might be a piece of cake at all, and it would take a little time to completely crack it.
And once all the secrets hidden in this Heavenly Punishment Order are cracked, he successfully finds the location of the ruins of the ancient gods, and successfully breaks through to it, then his harvest is not something that ordinary people can imagine!
Those top-secret divine treasures that originated from the ancient god war era, any thing taken out is an existence that can make all cultivators grab their heads, and if they successfully get some treasures that are very helpful to their own cultivation, then the meaning of it cannot be overemphasized.
Although his own qualifications, talents, and luck can all be called the top existence among all cultivators, but if he has the opportunity to go to the next level on this basis and successfully master more resources and assistance, Ye Qiuli is still unwilling to give up easily.
Heaven and Buddha take it, but suffer from it! The good things that are sent to the door are pushed out, that is not his style of acting. What's more, this Heavenly Punishment Order was sent by the Venerable of Furious War on his own initiative in order to repay him for saving his life, and he had no reason to shirk it.
"That's right, after accepting this treasure, the old man can not only repay your supreme kindness smoothly, but also take the opportunity to relieve a huge obsession that has entangled me for countless years, which is the best of both worlds. Seeing Ye Qiu accept the reward he had given him with satisfaction, the Venerable Furious Battle couldn't help but chuckle with extreme satisfaction, his expression was full of indescribable relief and complacency.
At this time, he didn't know that Ye Qiuli actually had the ability to read and write ancient divine texts, just by looking at it, he had an understanding of this heavenly punishment order that was far beyond him, and what he had not been able to achieve was likely to be completed in Ye Qiuli's hands.
Chance, chance, is indeed the most important factor that determines the success or failure of a person's cultivation, and everything else must be ranked behind it. Once the opportunity comes, even if you don't take the initiative to pursue it, those rare treasures in the world will automatically be sent to your door.
However, it is not a simple thing to really want to grasp this factor, and the word "chance" is really necessary to pay attention to both opportunity and fate. Although the opportunity of the Venerable of the Berserk War is indeed enough, he can successfully snatch this Heavenly Punishment Order from the competition of countless masters, but his fate is still a little worse in the end, and the research of thousands of years is not as deep as Ye Qiuli's glance.
"Anyway, I still have to thank my predecessors for the gift!" Hearing what the Venerable Warrior said, Ye Qiuli quickly came back to his senses and once again expressed his most sincere gratitude to him, thanking him for giving him this piece of Heavenly Punishment Decree to himself.
This time, he really wasn't polite for the sake of being polite, but sincerely grateful. After carefully examining the piece of Heavenly Punishment Order in his hand, and having a rough guess about its specific origin, he was indeed extremely satisfied with the return of the Berserker Venerable this time.
"Hehe, don't say more about these words, anyway, it's a thing that doesn't be of much use to me, if you can be satisfied, I don't have any regrets. Hearing Ye Qiuli's heartfelt words of thanks, the Furious Battle Venerable once again chuckled softly with joy on his face.
After saying this, he didn't wait for Ye Qiuli to continue to be polite, and after a slight pause, he immediately changed the topic and talked about other things: "I don't know what you plan to do next." If you have enough time, you might as well stay with me for a while longer, and after I continue to retreat and cultivate for a period of time and adjust my state to the best level, I will accompany you to explore the Holy Martial Continent with me. After so many years, the old man hasn't been out for a long time, and some old friends may forget about me!"
"Well, forget it, I've been here long enough, and it's already exceeded my original expectations. At this time, since the senior's body has fully recovered and is no longer used in the next place, then we might as well separate like this, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we will get together and have a good chat. At this time, if the seniors are free, please help open the formations and prohibitions on the periphery of the Immortal Mansion here, so that I can leave here as soon as possible. In the Shengwu Continent, there are still many Daoists waiting to find it. ”
Hearing clearly what the Venerable of Furious War meant, Ye Qiuli hurriedly waved his hand and dragged it up. In this cave immortal mansion, his role has been fully realized, and his personal harvest is rich enough, and there is not much point in continuing to stay here, it is better to leave as soon as possible and enter the Shengwu Continent again to explore. He had just raised his body and Yuan Ying to the realm of the merger stage, and he was about to sharpen it carefully.
