Unlike Wang Zheng, who looked relaxed, Qin Yao was already out of breath after climbing the thousands of meters high stone pillar entirely on her own two legs.
If it weren't for Wang Zheng's help in the second half, this little girl definitely wouldn't have been able to climb up.
At this moment, Qin Yao was panting heavily. After calming herself down for a long time, she slowly answered Young Master Wang's question.
"Although there is relevant teaching in the blessed land, our written tradition is incomplete. Most of it is still under research, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to learn."
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, the meaning and content of the characters have changed several times, and it seems that there has been a break in the continuity. So we can only rely on association and guessing.
However, this place should definitely be the Beast Taming Hall. I recognize the character in the middle; it should be the character for "beast"!
Hearing that Qin Yao's tone didn't seem to be faking it, Wang Zheng didn't delve into it further, but instead went forward to study the restrictions in front of the gate tower.
Strangely enough, the moment the two approached, the mist at the entrance dissipated, as if someone was welcoming them.
Faced with this strange scene, although Wang Shao became more vigilant, he did not back down. Instead, he walked in calmly.
We'll have to face it sooner or later anyway, and avoiding it won't bring him back any earlier.
Besides, Young Master Wang also had a feeling that he was curious about the great demon sealed in the ruins. Who knows, all of the above might be the other party's doing.
If it really is the divine thought of that great demon causing trouble, then given the connection with the ferocious beast, there might still be room for negotiation.
When Wang Zheng led the cautious Qin Yao onto the wide square, seeing the extremely similar scene before him, Young Master Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
The environment of the entire Sky Island is very similar to that of the Yellow Sea Ruins, both being classic Chinese palace complexes, only the layout of these magnificent palaces, which are interlocked, is not entirely the same.
On the equally magnificent jade plaza, directly opposite stands a grand hall. The shimmering fluorescent lights on the hall's exterior indicate that it is still sealed within by a restriction that cannot be easily broken.
To the left and right are several side halls and wing rooms. The spiritual energy in the entire square is vastly different from that in the surrounding area, and the huge space exudes luxury.
"This is similar to our Daoist Sect, but its area is far too small. We occupy several mountain peaks..."
Qin Yao looked around with the curiosity of a child, even comparing herself to her own sect.
Wang Zheng did not immediately dispel the restrictions on the main halls. He first looked at the gate tower behind him. Although the spiritual energy was still blocked, the restriction had not been restored and did not seem to prevent them from leaving.
It's unclear whether the other side knew that only this place in the ruins had spiritual energy, giving them confidence, or whether they knew that without breaking the seal here, Young Master Wang wouldn't be able to leave.
With a "go with the flow" attitude, Wang Zheng took a private stroll around, but unfortunately he couldn't find the herb garden, leaving him feeling a little disappointed.
Turning around, he saw Qin Yao boldly approaching the main hall. Wang Shao didn't disturb her, but instead reached out to touch the smaller halls nearby.
The first thing to be seen was the square pavilion, which resembled a pagoda.
Having already explored the ruins before, Wang Zheng knew that the restrictions here would definitely be weaker. Upon reaching out to feel them, he found that the barrier's energy was indeed not very strong.
Although he could still withstand ordinary Grandmaster-level superhumans, Wang Dashao was no longer the same as before. The defenses that once kept him at bay were now extremely weak.
With his spiritual energy redirected, Young Master Wang simply threw a punch forward with a little force. The next second, the door of the pavilion was forcibly pushed open, and the layout inside the pavilion was fully revealed.
The first thing that catches the eye is the densely packed bookshelves, filled with countless books and bamboo slips, resembling a mountain of books. Ascending the steps, a pale white jade slip, crystal clear, is displayed on the table directly opposite the door.
It was emitting a faint glow under an oil lamp, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.
"Could this be some kind of library or scripture repository? We've really struck it rich this time!"
How could one leave empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain? Faced with the dazzling array of bookshelves, Young Master Wang did not hesitate for even a second.
He reached out to put the book and the bookshelf into his storage space, but to his surprise, the moment his fingers touched the bookshelf, the book in front of him instantly turned into countless ashes, which frightened Wang Zheng so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.
It makes sense, considering that it had been eroded by time over so many years and there was no special protection on the book. Under the influence of external forces, it naturally turned to dust.
"The defenses here are clearly different from those of the main hall. If Qin Yao's explanation is correct, this might be the original restriction of the Beast Taming Hall, which is why I was able to break through it so easily."
Moreover, if I were to buy all the books here, even a fool would know that I'd be keeping them all for myself.
Forget it, let's wait until everyone's here before considering anything else. It'll probably be quite difficult to take these books away untouched. We'll leave it to Old Zhao and the others to worry about then..."
To avoid unnecessary disputes, Young Master Wang immediately abandoned his plan to possess these ancient classics and then reached out his hand toward the jade slip.
The lamp on the desk suddenly burst into a blinding blue light, like countless fine needles piercing towards Wang Zheng's hand.
However, the restriction from millions of years ago had no effect other than causing Wang Shao's palm to tingle slightly.
As Wang Zheng took out the jade slip, the lamp's halo shrank and shrank until it completely lost its spirituality, and finally turned into dust.
Wang Zheng secretly regretted losing such a treasure, and then examined the jade slip in his hand.
This piece of white jade is only about the size of two fingers and a few inches long. It has a texture as delicate as mutton fat and feels cool to the touch. Apart from a huge mythical beast carved on the back, there is nothing particularly remarkable about it.
Looking at the jade slip in front of him, Wang Zheng couldn't believe that this ancient sect would enshrine such an unimportant object so solemnly, and even add protection to it. He pressed his forehead against the slip as he had imagined and then used his spiritual power to examine it. Sure enough, dense text appeared on it.
Having understood the inheritance method of this ancient sect, Young Master Wang didn't hesitate and immediately started scanning.
As he expected, the upgraded basic functions were indeed amazing, and even ancient books could be easily recorded.
Immediately afterwards, a flood of chaotic information came rushing in, and in just a few seconds, countless points of light condensed in his mind into a golden, radiant esoteric book.
However, apart from the four large characters "Beast Taming Guide" on the cover, even after turning the pages, the information inside was incomprehensible.
There was no record of this technique in the cultivation method section; only a page full of scribbles that made Young Master Wang's eyes blurry!
