1407 Inherit My Legacy, s.h.i.+ne in Glory, G.o.d of Martial Arts! (2)
Ferya: …
What is this guy saying!
He looks down on a hundred cosmos-stage warriors! Boasting much?
A few minutes later, the chieftains carried their stone plates over and placed them on the altar.
!!
Rong Li also helped the grand elder with the main stone plate. He was stumbling as he carried two plates. It was a little funny.
All the plates were placed on the altar in order. All the light velvet people stepped back.
The grand elder said, “Here are all the stone plates. Feel free to study them; your gains will depend on your enlightenment.”
w.a.n.g Teng and Ferya became stern. They nodded and glanced at each other before they approached the altar.
Then, they sat down cross-legged in the middle of the altar. The stone plates were enveloped in force; floating, spinning around them.
The flames on the round pillars were still burning. White light shone on the stone plates, making the runes glitter.
w.a.n.g Teng and Ferya’s gazes landed on the runes. They began to study them.
Time pa.s.sed slowly. Night came.
Neither the grand elder nor the chieftains left. They remained close to the altar and looked at the two martial warriors.
They were nervous, too, wondering if the young ones could grasp the real secret within the plates.
They felt troubled.
On one hand, they hoped that the two could grasp the legacy in order to solve the cultivation limit they had.
On the other hand, they hope they weren’t successful. After all, the plates belonged to their race. It would be strange if an outsider was able to decipher their secrets.
Not all the natives were as broadminded.
Of course, this didn’t have anything to do with the young hero. He borrowed the stone plates for studying, and would solve the race’s cultivation problem later. No party would end owing the other.
There was a holy glow in his eyes. He activated his Real Eye, and was able to see every rune on the stone plates.
This time the feeling was completely different.
He had only seen one plate before; the rune contents were incomplete. This time he realized that the runes were even more complex and occult; understanding them was much more difficult.
This fact was especially true since all runes needed to be interlinked and understood as a whole. They couldn’t look at them separately, making the difficulty increase several fold.
Ferya frowned. She closed her eyes in deep thought and opened them on occasion to look at the cyphers.
A part of the runes resonated with her and emitted white light. They seemed alive.
The white light in Ferya’s eyes blossomed; the runes seemed to be s.h.i.+mmering within. The sight was divine.
The grand elder and the others stared at her intently; none of them pried their eyes away.
The night pa.s.sed quickly. Ferya had managed to understand the content of two stone plates, but she had yet to grasp the Elemental Light Divine Scripture. That was why only some of the runes were s.h.i.+mmering.
She kept observing plates, scanning through them one at a time.
w.a.n.g Teng was also furrowing his brow. Spiritual power tossed and turned in his mind as he tried to outline all the runes.
The process was arduous. The runes were numerous; he couldn’t etch them in his mind quickly.
Furthermore, the stone plates had been split into pieces, blurring some of the edges. He needed to a.n.a.lyze and come up with the right pattern; otherwise, he wouldn’t get the complete runes.
The natives stayed there, s.h.i.+fting their attention between the two young ones.
They found it strange.
Didn’t w.a.n.g Teng finish studying a stone plate in three hours?
One night had already pa.s.sed, but the fellow had shown no reaction.
As for Ferya, she had finished studying two plates. Her progress was definitely much faster.
The first day pa.s.sed quickly. Ferya studied three more stone plates; her speed was astonis.h.i.+ng.
However, her face looked pale. She couldn’t withstand the process anymore because it spent too much of her spiritual power; she was almost exhausted after studying five stone plates.
As for w.a.n.g Teng, he remained calm and unaffected. He looked as if he were admiring antiques.
The grand elder and the others were speechless, wondering if the boy was being serious.
Somewhere at midnight—Ferya finished studying one more stone plate. She had completed six stone plates up to that point.
However, she could hold on no more, and had to take a pill from a jade bottle.
Then, she closed her eyes and stopped looking at the plates.
A light velvet expert couldn’t help but say, “Grand elder, I think Ferya has more hope. She’s studied six stone plates in total.”
“w.a.n.g Teng used three hours to study a single stone plate,” Rong Li countered, glaring at the other speaker.
“Who knows if it’s true. What if he lied to you?” the furry fellow retorted.
“Rong Shan!” the grand elder scolded sternly, “w.a.n.g Teng is our friend. He saved us just now!”
“All right, all right! I didn’t mean anything by it. I just felt that…” Rong Shan shook his head. Before he continued, he noticed the grand elder’s stern gaze and stopped. Then, he said in embarra.s.sment, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
