Chapter 68 Unveiling the Mystery of Blood and Demonic Script (Please read on, please vote!)
A sudden silence fell over the air.
Wang Yu slightly raised his left hand, releasing his late-stage Qi Refining aura without restraint, and his semi-liquid spiritual energy frantically gathered towards his left arm.
Faced with such a grand display, Situ Hong finally couldn't take it anymore: "Wang Yu, wait... let's talk this out."
"hehe--
"I was just joking. There are only four of us on Xuan Gu Mountain now, so how could we hurt our relationship? It's just that the other two seem to look down on me and are unwilling to talk to me."
As the dense spiritual energy dissipated, Situ Hong opened the array and the stone door, looking at Wang Yu with some trepidation.
"No, no, Junior Brother Wang must have misunderstood. Senior Sister Liu and Junior Brother Gu must have had other matters to attend to, not that they didn't want to see you."
Wang Yu quickly approached and said with a smile.
"Then Junior Brother will believe Senior Brother Situ."
"Yes...yes..."
Welcoming the man into the temporary cave, Situ Hong had a terrible headache. In fact, when the three of them had just escaped from the underground palace, they did not harbor much hostility or suspicion towards Wang Yu.
After all, he's only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. What good is it if he's powerful in combat?
That's why they didn't go back to ask for help.
However, as time went by, they were, after all, second-generation cultivators of the same class, only half a grade lower than Liu Jinxian, so there was nothing that couldn't be explained.
Liu Jinxian, having received the greatest benefit, was not one to hold a grudge or insist on becoming enemies. Over time, their relationship returned to normal.
So, during the time Wang Yu was in seclusion, they reviewed the situation several times and eventually discovered some loopholes.
That is, when Situ Hong and Gu Zhengshun cooperated, they entered the underground palace relatively slowly. They deliberately let Liu Jinxian lead the elites of Gu Du Peak to clear the way first, while they reaped the benefits from behind.
However, Gu Zhengshun's greed for the long-buried corpses of cultivators in the underground palace ruins led him to collect some corpse energy, which in turn angered the second-tier poisonous bee queen.
This led to a series of subsequent events, and because of this incident, all ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Five Yin Peaks that he had brought with him were killed by the Poisonous Bee King.
He and Gu Zhengshun were born during this period of separation.
Considering that Liu Jinxian's side had a large and powerful force, they first briefly escaped the entanglement of the Poisonous Bee King, intending to hunt down some of the elites of the Gu Poison Peak in order to weaken Liu Jinxian's strength.
That's understandable. The problem is that they only killed two. When the Queen Bee came after them, she killed four more. What happened to the remaining dozen or so people? Did they just vanish into thin air?
It's reasonable that this point of contention could be attributed to the Foundation Establishment Corpse Demon.
However, the situation summary provided by Liu Jinxian led to a different outcome.
The corpse demon was berserk, yet it was not stained with any blood, and it charged straight at [Ningyue Palace], catching Liu Jinxian off guard. Therefore, someone must be trying to shift the blame.
Looking at the four survivors, who else is there besides the smiling Wang Yu?
This is just one point of suspicion, but that alone is enough to guard against him. In just one year, more than 500 people were wiped out. How much of a role Wang Yu played in this remains to be seen.
However, due to preconceived notions, the three immediately perceived Wang Yu as a classic image of a cruel and tyrannical demonic cultivator.
I don't want to offend anyone, nor do I want to have any contact with anyone.
In such a remote place, even if someone were killed, the sect might not be able to react in time. They are not like Liu Jinxian, so they are even more resistant to Wang Yu and would avoid contact if possible.
Inside the temporary cave dwelling.
Situ Hong said with a somewhat forced smile, "Junior Brother Wang, you're looking for me because..."
“It’s a small matter.” Wang Yu took out the prepared characters and handed them to Situ Hong for inspection: “Senior Brother Situ has a profound background and is very knowledgeable. He must recognize the blood runes in these ancient demonic scripts.”
After taking the jade slip and examining it carefully, Situ Hongcai said...
"Senior brother does know some ancient demonic script. There are many ancient books in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect that record blood runes, but he knows less about bone runes, underworld runes, and demonic runes."
The implication is that he has found the right person.
The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect also has a deep understanding of the blood runes in the ancient demonic script.
"This snake-like character represents meandering and twisting, and in blood runes it also means circulation, and is sometimes used to describe meridians."
“This character is as big as a mountain…”
Situ Hong explained each word one by one, often revealing three to five different meanings for a single character. These meanings could only be understood by referring to the context, and were easily misunderstood.
And as his understanding of the blood runes deepened, his cold and dormant body surprisingly felt a long-lost surge of excitement, as if his blood had come alive! He desperately wanted to exercise!
"You felt it?"
"What's the meaning."
Situ Hong sighed and said, "You must have heard about the mysterious power contained in ancient scripts. It's true. The more you understand about blood runes, the greater the anomalies your blood will produce."
"Our sect's Blood Demon Hall lineage cultivates the ancient Blood Demon Technique, which is written entirely in 'blood runes,' requiring the use of this power to activate the blood."
"If one is not careful, he will lose his human form and become a pure killing monster, wreaking havoc on the area."
Words contain power.
Not only ancient demonic script, but also innate cloud script, immortal jade talismans, dragon and phoenix patterns, etc. The written heritage buried in ancient history contains special power.
For these Qi Refining cultivators, it was too early to be exposed to such things, and Situ Hong didn't know much about it either.
After Wang Yu expressed his interest in this matter, he took out three jade slips and handed them to him. The slips contained information about the deconstruction of "blood runes".
It can be considered a popular science classic.
"When learning ancient magical script, do not ponder it deeply in your mind, or its power will become very weak. That's all I have to say."
After saying that, Situ Hong gave Wang Yu a deep look.
He had nothing to say about this. He had no conflict with Situ Hong, and since he had received help today, he would acknowledge the favor.
Thank you.
By the time he returned to the temporary cave he had created, it was nearly dusk.
The strange state of the ancient demonic script suggests that the mysterious silk scroll has an extraordinary origin and possesses a certain degree of danger.
Xu Jiaojiao's enormous, obese figure might be a side effect of studying the silk scroll. After all, who would grow up like that during normal development?
This also aligns with some of the rumors surrounding the other party.
So, is it possible to cultivate the things on the silk scroll without comprehension? Perhaps not before, but it has become possible since.
Wang Yu took down the [Mysterious Yin Hand] from column number four and arranged the three jade slips containing the "Analysis of Blood Talisman Characters" in order. This kind of pure knowledge was very fast.
In just three days, he mastered all the contents.
So, I took out the mysterious silk scroll again and, while still lost in thought, examined it with blank eyes. Sure enough, the placement option appeared in column number four.
He didn't try to figure it out himself, letting the placement bar do the work.
