Dai Yinzhu Comprehends Spirit Script

Du Yuanhe took Han Yuan toward the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall.

The elders followed as well, riding their Magic Tools.

The Sect Master and the Peak Lords naturally followed too.

Only those Inner Sect Disciples remained standing where they were, staring at one another in bewilderment!

Each looked at the others, at a complete loss. Should they go or stay?

They wanted to go watch too, but entering that place cost 500 Spirit Stones and 50 contribution points. They could not possibly waste Spirit Stones just to take a look, could they?

Liu Xinghe's gaze flickered. A flying sword appeared beneath his feet, and he too flew toward the secret grounds of the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall. Naturally, he had long prepared his entry voucher.

Seeing this, more than a dozen other disciples at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Condensation also rode their Magic Tools over to join the excitement.

The remaining disciples could only sit down cross-legged and cultivate helplessly.

Chang Chun was among them, a trace of worry on his face. "If the Estate Master becomes the Sect Master's True Disciple, will I still be qualified to keep following the Estate Master?"

He began to fret over gains and losses.

Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall.

It was located at the heart of the back mountain of Spirit Script Peak. Rumor had it that a Golden Core True Person stood guard there.

Naturally, no one saw the Golden Core True Person.

When Han Yuan opened his eyes, he found that he had been brought beneath a cliff. Looking up, he could see the top of the cliff several hundred meters above.

A thousand meditation cushions had been laid out before him, forming a semicircle around the cliff face.

The cliff face was exceptionally smooth, as though it had been cleaved by a towering greatsword. It was clearly man-made.

Du Yuanhe pointed at the stone wall. "This is the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall. Han Yuan, go study it."

Han Yuan glanced at the Foundation Establishment Elders watching nearby and cupped his hands. "Then this disciple will comprehend it for a while!"

Under everyone's gaze, Han Yuan walked to a meditation cushion and sat down with ease. His posture was steady, his movements calm, and his state of mind peaceful.

His gaze naturally settled on the stone wall. Without much thought or reflection, he swiftly entered a state of letting his mind roam beyond the heavens—otherwise known as spacing out.

That was right, Han Yuan was spacing out. He had never held much hope for his own comprehension, nor did he urgently want to comprehend anything. He only needed to space out for a few hours. Old Man Du thought highly of him anyway; even if he comprehended nothing, he could still become a True Disciple of Spirit Script Peak. There was no way he could lose out.

"Come to think of it, shouldn't Qi Condensation cultivators find it easier to comprehend the Spirit Script of the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall?" Dai Yinzhu, the Peak Lord of Alchemy Peak, asked.

Du Yuanhe shook his head. "Not necessarily. The Foundation Establishment Elders of the peak have poor results only because they already came here during Qi Condensation. What the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall values is comprehension, fortune, affinity, or other things that cannot be clearly explained. Higher cultivation does improve the effect of comprehension to a certain extent, but only slightly."

Dai Yinzhu nodded in understanding. "I comprehended it three times when I was in Qi Condensation and got nothing. This is the perfect chance to try once more!"

Then everyone watched speechlessly as Dai Yinzhu sat on the meditation cushion behind Han Yuan and began comprehending the stone wall.

Du Yuanhe ignored Dai Yinzhu and looked toward Sect Master Feng Jianming. "Sect Master, generally speaking, if one reacts within an hour of seeing the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall for the first time, then they have the qualifications to comprehend it. If there is no reaction after an hour, there is no need to wait any longer."

"Mm. Everyone knows the situation with the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall. Let us use one hour as the limit."

Feng Jianming casually took out an incense burner and lit a stick of incense. By the time it burned out, exactly one hour would have passed.

Du Yuanhe raised his brows at the sight. The Sect Master had clearly come prepared.

It was also at this time that Liu Xinghe and the other Qi Condensation disciples finally arrived.

Du Yuanhe merely glanced at them before shifting his gaze back to Han Yuan. Kid, whatever you do, don't comprehend something earth-shattering. Otherwise, all my efforts will have been for nothing.

Han Yuan truly was not thinking much.

As he spaced out for longer, his mind gradually emptied. Little by little, he no longer even thought about where he was.

At the same time.

As his thoughts emptied, the Wood Spirit Heart began autonomously drawing in and expelling spiritual energy.

This was one characteristic of the Wood Spirit Heart: it allowed Han Yuan to remain in a cultivating state even while asleep. Han Yuan did not think much of it, however. Compared to the speed of conscious cultivation, the improvement granted by the Wood Spirit Heart could only be called better than nothing.

Meanwhile, Dai Yinzhu, seated behind Han Yuan, was indeed doing his utmost to comprehend the Spirit Script. He had comprehended before the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall three times, yet had never gained anything. But those three attempts had not been in vain. The moment he sat down this time, he easily entered the proper state.

Gradually, he discovered that, in the unseen depths, he had indeed formed a connection with one Spirit Script on the stone wall.

He was an alchemist. He had handled countless medicinal herbs and spent years in contact with Spirit Medicine and spirit herbs. During alchemy, he had meticulously studied the essence within Spirit Medicine. He had formed a unique understanding of the Dao of Wood.

Perhaps because of this, Dai Yinzhu discovered that he had resonated with a "wood" Spirit Script on the stone wall!

Only a quarter of an hour had passed since Han Yuan sat down cross-legged.

The Foundation Establishment Elders were still chatting through Spiritual Sense.

Suddenly, one Foundation Establishment Elder who had been watching the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall transmitted through Spiritual Sense to everyone, "Quick, look! The stone wall has reacted!"

"How could it be so fast!"

Everyone turned to look.

Du Yuanhe in particular cursed inwardly. Kid, I told you to hold back a little. Can't you understand the look in my eyes?

On the stone wall, faint traces gradually appeared upon an area that had originally been blank. Gradually, a cyan-green character slowly lit up.

"Wood!"

Someone spoke up. "This is the Wood Character Spirit Script!"

Seeing this Spirit Script, Du Yuanhe sighed inwardly. So it is the Wood Character Spirit Script. This kid already has Wood Heart Communion. Even when he is relaxed, can he still comprehend it so easily?

"Wait, it seems Peak Lord Dai is the one who comprehended it!"

Everyone recovered from their shock, only to discover that it was not Han Yuan who had comprehended the Wood Spirit Script, but Dai Yinzhu, seated behind him!

"So it was Old Dai. You gave me quite a scare!"

"Same here. I thought Han Yuan had comprehended Spirit Script in a quarter of an hour. That would have been far too unbelievable!"

Everyone smiled in relief.

"Old Dai comprehended it three times before, for a total of twenty-four hours. It is perfectly normal that he can now comprehend the Wood Spirit Script!"

"He is an alchemist. Why was the first Spirit Script he comprehended not the Fire Spirit Script?"

"What do you know? Alchemy has fire refining, water refining, metal refining, and other methods. Only the Wood Spirit Script represented by Spirit Medicine is what alchemy needs most!" Xia Jiuyou explained.

"So that is how it is!"

Indeed, though alchemists seemed to deal most often with fire, wood was actually what mattered most. Alchemy materials were not limited to Spirit Medicine; there were also Spirit Ore, spiritual water, and more. Yet Spirit Medicine remained the most important. Thus, it was perfectly normal for Dai Yinzhu to comprehend the Wood Spirit Script.

As Dai Yinzhu's comprehension deepened, the mysterious character on the ancient stone wall gradually became whole and radiant.

The Wood Spirit Script on the stone wall was not an ordinary character, but a more intricate and profound Heaven and Earth Spirit Script. The character itself contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and could easily stir the power of heaven and earth. The legendary Immortal Scriptures and Daoist Canons were written in Spirit Script. Only Spirit Script could bear that vast immortal Dao!

Dai Yinzhu opened his mind and spirit, displaying his understanding of the Dao of Wood before the Spirit Script Ancient Stone Wall without reservation.

At last, his comprehension of wood gained the approval of the ancient stone wall's Wood Spirit Script.

The light radiating from the Wood Spirit Script reached its peak, transforming into a cyan-green spiritual radiance that shot swiftly toward Dai Yinzhu.

The spiritual radiance was incomparably fast; not even the Spiritual Sense of a Golden Core True Person could catch up to it.

Yet as that spiritual radiance passed Han Yuan, it paused ever so slightly. The pause was so brief that no one noticed it.

The spiritual radiance still swiftly descended onto Dai Yinzhu's head and entered his body.

Before long, Dai Yinzhu rose and returned to the crowd. Sensing the Spirit Script inheritance within his mind, he burst into laughter, his face brimming with delight.

Everyone congratulated Dai Yinzhu on having his wish fulfilled. Some eyes held obvious envy. Not every Foundation Establishment cultivator had comprehended Spirit Script; on the contrary, only one quarter of the Foundation Establishment Elders had done so.

Comprehending a Spirit Script brought far too many benefits. It greatly improved cultivation, breakthroughs, alchemy skills, and the comprehension of spells. The earlier one comprehended it, the better, but it was never too late. As long as one could comprehend it, that was enough.

"Eh, have you noticed? That Wood Spirit Script has not directly hidden itself again?"

Everyone froze, and even Dai Yinzhu looked toward the stone wall.

They saw that the Wood Spirit Script had indeed not vanished.

By convention, after a Spirit Script bestowed its Spirit Script inheritance, it would hide itself again, and even its location would change. It was difficult to comprehend the same Spirit Script from the same spot, with no trick to exploit. Yet this Wood Spirit Script remained on the stone wall against all expectation, shining with cyan light.
