Yue Luo said softly at his side, "I heard my teacher say that after the chapter seals here were placed upon it, apart from a very small portion, most of them were never altered again."
Zhang Yu considered this and nodded slightly. It was in line with what he had thought.
Aside from those passed down by predecessors, mystic cultivators also created chapter seals themselves later on.
Yet deductions made through one person's efforts were inevitably less than complete, so many cultivators chose to imprint these flawed chapter seals within the Profound Pillar for others to see.
Fellow practitioners who were interested could make rubbings of them, either deducing and refining them further or exchanging insights with other fellow practitioners. In this process, even more chapter seals would come into being.

But such an ideal situation could only truly exist under the deliberate guidance of a Profound Residence, or within a relatively relaxed environment.
