Chapter 441 The King of Words

Of the original nine kings, the King of Words was the one most like a god and was once the idol of countless women.

Her charm stems from her ethereal aura, which seems to have been born aloof and superior.

She is more like an immortal than any fairy in mythology.

All of this stems from her methods, which can be described as the most flamboyant and sophisticated. History books clearly record that in the early stages of rebuilding the order after the disaster, the Yellow River basin suffered a severe drought. King Kotodama uttered the words "May the weather be favorable," and the Yellow River basin was irrigated for three years.

To this day, statues of the King of Words still exist at several major ferry crossings on the Yellow River.

Let alone ordinary people, even ordinary martial artists find it difficult to understand the methods of the Word Spirit King. Shen Qian only began to understand it after receiving the Word Spirit King's inheritance in the Nine Kings Secret Realm, and even then, it was very difficult for him.

However, the legacy of the King of Words was what Shen Qian was most interested in among the nine kings.

"Words become law" is a euphemism used by arrogant and pretentious people, regardless of the story.

When the old master Gao was refining medicine, he once demonstrated this skill to Shen Qian. Later, when the system learned to walk, he also demonstrated it once in the Beiwu classroom.

But it wasn't a true manifestation of words; it was merely an illusion created through aerial manipulation. In reality, it was extremely difficult to achieve in secret.

The power of the King of Words is clearly not like that.

This is truly communicating with heaven and earth through spiritual power, and subverting all rules for one's own use within a certain area and time!

Out of caution, Shen Qian did not drink the Mountain and Sea Spirit Elixir, which could temporarily boost his spiritual power, but instead took the Heavenly Stone in his hand and then sat down cross-legged on the rooftop.

A warm, invisible force began to seep out from the Heavenly Stone as soon as Shen Qian touched it, and then slowly entered Shen Qian's body like water dripping from a sponge.

This is a unique function of spirit stones, which is to enhance spiritual power invisibly over a long period of time, so there's not much to say about it.

What truly impressed Shen Qian was what the Earl of Pingyang said: this spirit stone might contain some kind of guidance from the King of Words.

Otherwise, the Martial Arts Club probably wouldn't have presented it as a prized possession.

Before sinking in, he cleared his mind of all distractions and began to try to communicate with the Heavenly Spirit Stone using his spiritual power.

As consciousness vanished, he sank into a misty world.

This is the interior space of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, but what makes Shen Qian frown is... there is nothing here.

This is the most common microscopic world that any substance would have. With Shen Qian's keen mental power, if there were other things that really existed, he would definitely have noticed them.

Unwilling to give up, Chen Qian wandered around inside for a while, but still found nothing.

Just as he was wondering if he had been tricked by the unrequited love of the Earl of Pingyang, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

There's someone outside!

Startled, Shen Qian was about to react when a faint voice rang in his ears.

"It's me."

"Ah... Principal, what brings you here?"

Shen Qian turned his head and saw that it was Pingyang Bo standing next to him. He was surprised and also felt a little guilty.

He was just muttering complaints about the Earl of Pingyang in his heart, and then the person in question arrived right away. That speed is unbelievable.

"I was just about to talk to you about this when I sensed that you had opened the Heavenly Spirit Stone. I guess I've made it in time, so I'm here to lend you a hand."

Bo Dan of Pingyang smiled.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qian immediately realized that the Heavenly Spirit Stone was indeed not so simple, and he felt relieved.

"Principal, is there any further explanation?"

"I only saw the projection this morning, so I wasn't too sure. I only realized it after observing the actual object again. Sure enough, the King of Words has set a seal on this Heavenly Spirit Stone."

The Earl of Pingyang explained, “If I hadn’t come in, you probably wouldn’t have been able to find the way in at all.”

"Is there a seal?" Shen Qian, himself a master of formations, couldn't help but feel puzzled, because there weren't many formations that he couldn't detect.

“You don’t understand.” The Earl of Pingyang revealed a trace of vicissitude. “When the Word Spirit King was still around, she had no intention of leaving any legacy, so the seal she set up naturally had no intention of being broken.”

"I see."

Shen Qian suddenly realized that if someone at the level of the Word Spirit King didn't want to reveal any flaws, then Shen Qian would definitely not be able to detect them.

“But what about the Nine Kings Secret Realm…” Shen Qian thought for a moment and then realized that something was wrong. Didn’t the Word Spirit King leave behind his legacy in the Nine Kings Secret Realm?

"That's a special case. After all, all nine kings have left behind their legacy. She wouldn't act differently in that situation. But even so, I imagine that the legacy she left in the Nine Kings' Secret Realm would set a very high threshold, and most likely one that is insurmountable."

The Earl of Pingyang said calmly.

Thinking about it again, isn't that exactly right?

Even with his spiritual power far exceeding that of his peers, he was unable to comprehend that inheritance, let alone others.

According to Shen Qian's estimation, although Mu Ziyan also received the inheritance of the Word Spirit King, she probably wouldn't even be able to grasp the basics.

Why doesn't the King of Words want to leave behind any legacy?

After thinking it over, Shen Qian realized that the King of Words was indeed all alone in some online discussions, not to mention having disciples, he didn't even seem to have any family.

King Qin Guang, however, left behind a huge family that comprised tens of thousands of people.

But the Queen of Words is certainly not a selfish person, after all, apart from that drought, she has intervened to prevent disasters in China more than once.

"I don't know, but maybe it's related to her 'Tao,' or maybe it's related to her disappearance..."

The Earl of Pingyang's expression turned slightly wistful. "This is why I wanted to help you obtain its inheritance. Perhaps you can solve this mystery."
