Chapter 165: Successfully Creating the Runic ImprintActually, in a sense, this was Lin Lei"s first time using this mystic ability.
Before this, after acquiring this mystic ability, he had never had the time to use it.
In addition, because of his current power, he could be said to be able to look down upon the entire east.
Thus, in battle, he didn"t need to sneak around and use stealth or subst.i.tute techniques to fight.
Because there was no need at all!
Could it be that when an expert of the third rank of the Great Sage fought against an opponent of the sage or Magus level, there was no need for him to use stealth techniques?
There was no need at all.
Thus, for the current Lin Lei, the Three Thousand Great Transformation technique was in fact a completely useless mystic ability.
Only in the future, when he was facing dozens of experts of the great sage realm or the High Magus realm, would he be able to use this technique.
However, the chances of that happening were very low, because… … right now, Linley had the Eastern Emperor"s Bell.
The Eastern Emperor"s Bell was the most powerful defensive spirit treasure of the entire continent.
With it protecting him, he didn"t have to worry about not being able to escape on the battlefield.
But even so, this didn"t mean that the Three Thousand Great Transformation technique was a useless technique.
After all, just because Lin Lei didn"t need it didn"t mean that the others didn"t!
Lin Lei had the Eastern emperor"s Bell, but the others didn"t have such good conditions as he did.
Thus, as a deity-level evasion technique, this mystic ability, after giving it much thought, Lin Lei decided to teach it to Walton and the others.
After all, after he left, it was very hard to predict whether or not the people from the north and the South would arrive before he returned.
If they really did arrive, and Walton and the others weren"t able to defeat them in battle, they would have an escape technique, which would ensure that they would be able to retreat and not perish.
After all, there was always hope.
Lin Lei was confident that with the system"s "Epiphany" technique in hand, he would definitely be able to train Walton and the others to become one of the top experts in the world.
To him, the only thing he had to worry about in order to raise their cultivation level was time.
Thinking of this, Lin Lei began to focus on using the [ Three Thousand Great Transformation ] on the runes.
This was because the purpose of using the mystic ability was to inscribe this technique onto the Runic imprint.
Thus, when he used this technique, he was very slow.
He should have been able to finish using the Upanishad divine ability in four or five seconds, but after using it for twenty or thirty seconds, he still hadn"t finished using it.
And the reason why he was so slow was that…
The runic paper in front of him was being used up at a rate visible to the naked eye.
This was because, after all, there was a limit to how much information a single piece of runic paper could hold. Lin Lei wanted to use the runic paper to record his own mystic ability.
It was far from enough to use only a single piece of runic paper.
This was like downloading a twenty-gigabyte game, but your hard drive only has a capacity of 2 or 3 gigabytes. It was far from enough to download the game.
If you had to force yourself to download it, in the end, the hard drive would simply collapse, or the content would become a pile of gibberish, unable to be opened at all.
The same principle applied to using runes to record profound mysteries and mystic abilities.
Originally, a single piece of runic paper could only record a few words or one or two simple images.
Right now, Lin Lei wanted to use it to record the process of training in his complex profound mysteries and divine abilities.
One could only imagine how many runic papers would need to used during this process. That was an extremely terrifying number!
Linley naturally had thought of this in advance as well. Thus, he had taken out over a hundred runic papers in advance to record his demonstration.
However, despite this, when Lin Lei slowly finished demonstrating the [ Three Thousand Great Transformation ] technique, he quickly discovered that…
He was only left with a few pieces of runic paper.
Just a little bit more wasn"t enough.
Whoosh
Seeing this, a hint of a bitter smile appeared on Lin Lei"s face.
Only one or two pieces are left. This meant that he had used up more than a hundred runic papers just to store this mystic ability.
As for the number of mystic abilities he had originally planned to use, he had conservatively planned to use ten of them.
But now, it seemed, given the rate at which he was using them, it would be very difficult for him to accomplish his goal.
What should he do?
Lin Lei once more fell into a dilemma.
However, he quickly waved his hand to dismiss this thought.
Rather than thinking about this, he might as well first see if it was possible to use runes to engrave profound mysteries into divine abilities.
Could he really open these runes and examine them?
As Lin Lei thought about this, he felt rather nervous. He didn"t know whether or not he should open them and examine them.
After all, runic papers had another characteristic: as long as one opened them and examined them, the runic paper would immediately ignite.
In other words, this was a one-time use item.
After examining it, one couldn"t look at it a second time.
But despite this, after thinking for a moment, Lin Lei still decided to open the runic paper to take a look.
After all, if he didn"t open it to take a look, how would he know if the runic paper really could store profound mysteries and divine abilities?
Thinking of this, with a light wave of his hand, hundreds of runic papers were arranged in front of him.
“Activate!”
He softly spat out a single word.
Swish, swish, swish!
Very quickly, the countless runic papers in front of him began to vibrate with a buzzing sound.
One ray of blue light after another flashed across the runic papers.
These dazzling rays of light quickly began to merge together in mid-air, like a jigsaw puzzle floating in mid-air.
The countless runic papers continued to merge together, finally forming an enormous screen that was three or four meters long and five or six meters tall.
Countless rays of light flashed across the screen.
Lin Lei quickly noticed that these flashing rays of light were converging into a single image, which was swaying within the screen.
This sort of appearance was a bit like animation.
Originally, it was just one image after another, frame by frame.
But then, they were arranged in a certain order, finally forming a moving video.
At this moment, the moving images of light and shadow continued to stack up, finally forming a human figure.
The human figure"s body was flashing with light.
It was a picture of mageforce flowing about.
This was a human figure, circulating his mageforce to activate a profound mystery divine ability.
Lin Lei focused his gaze. He could clearly see that the person who had used the profound mystery divine ability was himself.
He had succeeded!
This runic paper could indeed be used to inscribe a mystic ability!
Seeing this, Lin Lei let out a long sigh of relief.
Although the amount of runic paper required to inscribe a runic paper was enormous…
It was all worth it.
On the screen, the little man who had used the mystic ability slowly finished using this technique. His body gradually became transparent.
Finally, the light which had formed his body began to disappear, and then… completely disappear…
Hundreds of runic papers, in the next moment, began to burn furiously, transforming into streaks of spiritual energy flames that slowly disappeared into the air…
“So, it really is a one-time use item…”
Seeing this, Lin Lei"s lips curled up into a hint of a bitter smile.
“It seems I need more runic papers…”
