Chapter 145: The Discovery in Tian Zhu Brook
"It's almost been a year since that little guy entered the Human Valley, right?" A deep and powerful voice came, it was none other than Yuanhuan, and the person he was talking to was the Dean. The two were still sitting in the small cottage where Du Fei had mistakenly entered, drinking tea.
The principal lifted the teacup with one hand, took a sip, and nodded slightly in response to Monkey's question. Monkey saw the principal nodding and continued to ask: "Then when can that little devil meet Master's expectations?"
"I said you're being so wishy-washy now, this isn't like the usual you at all? What's going on, do you really want to have a showdown with that little demon?" The principal smiled as he looked at Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang was also slightly taken aback, and calmly replied: "Nothing, I just casually asked, hoping that little demon would leave soon and not disturb my peaceful days again."
The principal heard the gibbon's words and was also startled, looking at the gibbon as if he were a monster. The gibbon looked unnatural and somewhat flustered, saying: "What do you mean?"
"You old fellow, I'm not clear about your thoughts. Back then, when you competed with his father, although you only used 60% of your strength, it was already at the level of a true expert in the Netherworld realm. However, at that time, Jin Ye Tian's strength was only at the level of Fused Soul 9th grade, yet in the end, you still ended up in a draw with him. You've been harboring resentment about this all along, haven't you?" The principal said as he glanced at the ape beside him. The ape also cast a glance at the principal but didn't speak, only looking slightly embarrassed. The principal chuckled and continued: "You've always wanted to prove that your Golden Iron Skin is stronger than the Jin family's Fumo Golden Iron Skin, but Jin Ye Tian is already dead. Now, the only hope lies with that little demon. Am I right?" The principal finished speaking and drained his tea cup in one gulp.
Hearing the dean's words, Monkey also became somewhat irate and said: "Originally, Laozi's martial skills were stronger than that Jin family's whatever Fumo Golden Strength."
"Haha, you're a stubborn monkey who just won't admit defeat. Fine, you're the kind of person who won't shed tears until they see their own coffin. Just wait for your loss then!" The director laughed loudly.
Inside Tianzhu Brook
Du Fei lay on the ground, gasping for breath. After activating the symbol's power, Du Fei's current state could be described as pitiful. His entire body was covered in bloodstains, and his original wounds were already numerous. Adding to that the injuries he had previously sustained, Du Fei's body was now riddled with scars. However, for Du Fei, these were all just familiar occurrences. What pained him the most wasn't the external wounds; those were merely an itch to scratch. The internal damage he had suffered this time was far more severe. The harm caused by activating the symbol's power for the second time was unknown times more agonizing than the first. The previous instance had already been the greatest injury Du Fei had sustained in all these years, and this time had refreshed that record.
"How are you feeling?" the Wordless Heavenly Book wrote, at the same time the Wordless Heavenly Book shone a burst of white light to heal Du Fei's injuries.
Du Fei was also leaning his head to look at the words on the wordless heavenly book, his eyes were dull and lifeless, at this time Du Fei might not even have the strength to respond.
"It's nothing, just feeling like I'm about to die." Du Fei managed to spit out a few words with difficulty.
"You're lucky to be alive, if it wasn't for the timely intervention at the last moment, you might have already met your maker." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote. Du Fei just looked at it, but didn't respond in any way. He simply opened his eyes slightly and carefully scanned the walls of the Tian Zhu Xi. It had been a year since he came to the Tian Zhu Xi, and during this time, Du Fei was busy cultivating and hadn't carefully observed the surroundings. Now, all he could do was lie on the ground and wait for his injuries to slowly recover.
After scanning the surroundings of the Tian Zhu Xi, doubts began to arise in Du Fei's mind. He had always ignored a question: why were there strange symbols covering the stone walls inside the Tian Zhu Xi? Du Fei rarely saw these symbols, and many of them were unfamiliar to him.
There are two types of talismans, both belonging to the category of array methods. One is the simplest way to write talismans, which is to use a pen to write out simple things and add one's own yuanqi, combined with some hand seals to achieve the effect of an array method. Most of them don't have much power, and anyone who sets up arrays can do it.
The other type is the most powerful kind, only high-level masters who have reached a certain level of cultivation can combine their yuanqi with elements, compressing them into a tangible talisman that adds to the array method. Each talisman is a powerful array method, and this type of talisman has great power, ranking among the top array methods.
The talismans that erupted from Du Fei's body right now belong to the second category, and they are extremely powerful. Although Du Fei's current level of setting up arrays is not high, he has seen many talismans before, but the ones in the Tian Zhu Dian are beyond anything he has ever seen.
The many questions in his mind made Du Fei feel more and more strange. He thought about what the Wuzi Tian Shu had said earlier, that this Tian Zhu Dian was left behind by its previous owner. After carefully examining the layout inside the Tian Zhu Dian, it seemed simple but was actually extraordinary.
Tian Zhu Xi is a superimposition of multiple powerful arrays, and although Du Fei doesn't know which specific arrays they are, his intuition tells him that this stone chamber he has lived in for almost a year has been deceiving his eyes all along. Various signs indicate that Tian Zhu Xi is absolutely not as simple as it seems, and it must be hiding something. Now, due to his injuries, Du Fei finally calmed down and carefully examined this seemingly ordinary yet mysterious Tian Zhu Xi.
The healing effect of the wordless heavenly book gave Du Fei a bit of energy to take a deep breath, but he still couldn't move his body. However, speaking was no longer as laborious as before. Looking at the wordless heavenly book, Du Fei asked, "By the way, I have something to ask you."
"What's wrong?" the Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"I used to think that this Tian Zhu Huan was just an ordinary casting house, perhaps it was because my cultivation level was too low before and I didn't notice any mysterious place here. At most, the yuanqi density is thicker than outside, but today I carefully observed this Tian Zhu Huan and it's absolutely not that simple. I remember you said this was left behind by your old master, right? The things you told me before were just one of them, there must be other things you didn't tell me, right?" Du Fei asked, tilting his head to look at the Wordless Heavenly Book.
"Oh, why would you ask that." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Don't deceive me, my cultivation has improved a bit over the past year. The higher my cultivation rises, the more I feel that this Tian Zhuquan is different from before. Tell me, is there something you haven't told me yet?" Du Fei asked urgently, preparing to grab the Wuzi Tian Shu, but he didn't have the strength to lift his arm, and let out a painful sigh.
"Don't move, I'm treating you now. Yes, there's something I haven't told you, if you want to know." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Hurry up and say it, don't spoil my appetite." Du Fei urged.
"Alright, alright, you'll find out soon enough anyway." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"It's actually not a big deal, I think you've also sensed that the formation of the Tian Zhuo Brook is unusual." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"That's right." Du Fei replied hastily.
"As your own cultivation and strength improve, your understanding of the Tian Zhuo Brook will also become deeper. Now you have already sensed the formation of the Tian Zhuo Brook, and those talismans, you shouldn't recognize them, right?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Get to the point." Du Fei said somewhat irritably.
"I'll tell you, these talismans are also a form of language and text. Each talisman is a manifestation of energy, and each one contains a hidden power. The entire stone wall of talismans left behind by the old master is what he wanted to entrust to you. However, for you now, your strength is too weak, and you don't have the qualifications to understand these things. When your strength reaches the level that the old master hoped for, you will naturally be able to comprehend those messages." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"I don't even recognize these symbols, I've never seen them before, how would I know what they mean? Just tell me directly." Du Fei said.
"If you knew now what I know then, I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to, and I wouldn't be able to say it anyway. There are also restrictions on me." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Then are the talismans on me more powerful or the ones left by your master?" Du Fei asked.
"Kid, stop trying to trick me here. You'll know what it means to be powerful later. However, the talismans on your body are also among the most powerful ones I've seen." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote this but didn't continue writing. Du Fei looked disappointed and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he couldn't move at all.
"Whatever, you won't tell me, I'll just go research it myself when I'm better." Du Fei said with a displeased face. "Alright, alright, let's talk about it after you've been lying on the ground for ten days or half a month. Your injury will take at least a month to recover from, don't even think about it." Wuzi Tian Shu wrote.
"What, you're saying I'll need this long to recover from the injury?" Du Fei said with some shock, but at this time, Du Fei could only move his mouth, and had no chance of moving any other part of his body.
