Since ruins were often excavated, and all sorts of divine abilities, cultivation techniques, and artifact refinements relied on ancient scripts, forums like this one were always bustling with activity. Barely ten breaths after He Mu posted, a moderator called Gu She Shan Ren replied:

"The character you found seems quite ancient. Even if it isn't as old as the earliest scripts that evolved directly from Dao Patterns and contain the principles of the Great Dao, such as Crimson Bright Jade Script and Eight Majestic Dragon Script, it can't be far off. It should belong to the second or third level of script evolution. Its resonance is profound and its meaning deep; even interpreting a single character could fill several pages of scripture. Without the surrounding text for reference, there's no way to arrive at the correct answer."

He Mu actually agreed wholeheartedly with Gu She Shan Ren. Judging from the development of writing, Dao Patterns were mysterious and profound, possessing great power of their own. Even immortals had to reach the Other Shore to fully grasp their meaning. Crimson Bright Jade Script and Eight Majestic Dragon Script had been created to help living beings understand them: they offered an initial explanation of Dao Patterns, depicted the heavens and earth, and recorded the principles of the Great Dao. They were said to be scripts in which each character was a volume of scripture, and each text a divine ability.

Yet even Legendary Great Powers found these scripts abstruse and profound, let alone Human Immortals and mortals.

But even at this level, every character still held a divine ability, and the meanings within
