Elder Wang saw the doubt in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, moved the jade tube on the platform to the side, and with a push of his hand, the platform slowly moved away, revealing a portal on the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn the Immortal Cultivation Realm, hiding the underground portal in such a purely mechanical way is indeed far more difficult to discover than the protection of the Transfiguration Circle.
Elder Wang took the lead in walking into the underground portal, Long Xiaoyao had already used his divine sense to probe below, it was just a small underground cave mansion, and there was no magic circle to protect it, there was only a shelf, on which were placed nine antique jade cylinders.
Long Xiaoyao followed Elder Wang into the underground cave, Elder Wang took out an ordinary jade cylinder from the storage ring and handed it to him, and said, "Long Daoyou, this is an explanation of the ancient characters and the golden seal script, and the ancient talismans are basically recorded in these two scripts. It's just that ancient texts often have a profound meaning in a word, and in today's language, there will be some deviations, and how much can be understood in the end, you need to see the fate of the dragon. ā
Long Xiaoyao took the jade cylinder and read it in detail with his divine sense, but found that many words were actually annotated with graphics, and the meaning of them could only rely on everyone's understanding and understanding. He read the explanations in the jade cylinder in detail, but felt that he only had a vague understanding of these explanations.
After Long Xiaoyao read the contents of the jade cylinder, Elder Wang said: "Long Daoyou can read and comprehend here by yourself, the content of those jade cylinders gradually deepens from left to right, and when Long Daoyou thoroughly understands these references, I will take out the inheritance jade cylinder treasured by our sect and hand it to Daoyou." ā
After thanking Long Yaoyao, he took down the leftmost jade cylinder according to Elder Wang's instructions, while Elder Wang left alone. He can only read less than thirty percent of the content of the jade cylinder intermittently, and it is only an introduction to the ancient basic runes, of which there are only nine ancient runes.
Waiting for the dragon to read the second jade cylinder, there were also nine basic runes, but it looked more profound and wonderful. He comprehended the runes recorded in the jade cylinder with all his heart, forgetting the passage of time. The first eight jade cylinders are all ancient characters, and one jade cylinder is a golden seal script, the content of which is even more profound, and he has not even been able to comprehend it.
When the ancient runes were popular, it was said that the basic rune texts of the ancients were discovered by the monks of the human realm, and the golden seal script was handed down by the monks of the upper realm, so the golden seal script was more profound and powerful.
Long Xiaoyao originally planned to copy the contents of the jade cylinder for careful study in the future, but as soon as he copied a rune, the jade cylinder collapsed in his hands and turned into a pile of broken jade powder, and he had no choice but to give up and comprehend in the underground cave with peace of mind.
Long Xiaoyao stayed in the underground cave for two and a half years, and during this time, he realized nearly eighty percent of the ancient runes, but he only barely comprehended thirty percent of the runes of the golden seal script. However, the contents recorded in these nine jade cylinders were all deeply imprinted in his mind.
During the period when Long was enjoying the jade tube, Elder Wang did not disturb him until he walked out of the underground cave mansion, and Elder Wang took out two antique jade cylinders and handed them to him. One of them is the method of using ancient talismans. One is to refine the ancient runes, the materials in which are indeed extinct, and the other way is to use their own essence and blood and primordial gods to nurture runes and cultivate them as a part of themselves, which is exactly the way to use the runes mentioned by the Lost Island Lord.
It's just that this way of conceiving talismans requires the consumption of a large amount of one's own essence and blood primordial spirit, which will affect one's own cultivation and advancement. The cultivation of the monk itself is the foundation of everything, not to mention that the improvement of the cultivation level can bring about the essential improvement of strength, the most important thing is that only the improvement of cultivation can bring about the growth of longevity.
Moreover, the requirements for nurturing runes are also strict, first of all, the application of runes is required to achieve unity with the mind, and it is also required to cultivate to reach the ascension stage, and can only give birth to runes related to the Tao that they have mastered. For example, if a monk masters the water attribute of the Five Elements Dao, he can only breed water attribute runes.
The reason for the decline of the ancient rune in the modern immortal cultivation world is self-evident, the ancient rune cannot be refined, and it is difficult to reach the realm of the unity of the rune and the mind. And the great cultivators are already the top existence in the immortal cultivation world, and there are very few in the modern immortal cultivation world, they are all seizing the time to improve their cultivation and strive for a longer lifespan, and no one will waste time for the cultivation of runes.
Another inheritance jade tube that Elder Wang gave to Long Xiaoyao is the compound method of the ancient rune, although the ancient rune is very mysterious, and each basic rune can form a rune independently, but it is too monotonous, and the level and efficacy are relatively low.
Ancient basic runes can also be effectively combined to form more complex, high-level runes, which are more powerful and effective. However, the combination of ancient basic runes is also much more complex, and can only be achieved by refining them into runes.
Long Xiaoyao therefore stayed in the underground cave for half a year, he had been delayed in the Ancient Fu Sect for three years, and it was only one year before the opening of the Xuanji Trial, he had to seize the last time to capture beasts and collect souls to improve his strength, and if he had more strength, he could naturally have more protection in the trial.
Although Long Xiaoyao had not fully comprehended those ancient runes, he had already written them down. The magic of the ancient talisman also made him more and more awe-inspiring, and he was already able to remember it now, but now he reads the jade cylinder that records the ancient talisman, but he can't remember the content for a long time, which shows the mystery of those contents.
Although the content of the ancient talisman could not be mastered and used by Long Xiaoyao for the time being, he still deeply understood the value of it. When he said goodbye to the Ancient Fu Sect, he left behind two earth-level exercises, as well as a large number of pills and spirit stones. On the Lost Main Island, he had obtained a large number of spirit stones from the dozens of storage rings he had obtained, and it was only a drop in the bucket for the Ancient Rune Sect, but Elder Wang of the Ancient Rune Sect was pleasantly surprised.
After Long Yao left the Ancient Fu Sect, he flew directly into the depths of the open sea. Although the Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sutra he cultivated made him superior in strength, it also made him have to take the risk of hunting and killing high-level demon beasts.
In the area where ordinary high-level demon beasts are entrenched in the open sea, the distribution of demon beasts is not dense. However, the shapeshifting monsters are all the kings of the outer sea monsters, and most of them have a large number of subordinates, however, the outer sea monsters do not have the ability to fly if they have not reached the transformation stage, so there is no need to worry about them being bullied by more. However, hunting and killing the shapeshifting demon beast is unexpectedly troublesome, and if you escape to the sea, I am afraid that there will be no way to hunt it again.
The dragon flew freely to the depths of the open sea, and due to the urgency of time, he did not stop halfway to hunt ordinary level 7 or 8 demon beasts, but flew directly to the open sea area where the shape-shifting demon beasts he mastered might be infested.
