Chapter 125: Tidal Sound Stone, Confirming the Wilderness Text

  The barbarous characters in the ancient bronze Ding cauldron are large, while the explanatory text is not only small but also hidden and can only be seen with special methods.

  This is also the reason why Hu Wen Ding has been in Li Yuan Xi's hands for many years without her knowing.

  In later generations, someone discovered the secret of the Huwen Ding, but unfortunately, the Xuanzhe civilization had already declined, and the value of the barbarian script had greatly decreased - the heavenly and earthly Xuanqi were scarce, and no one could cultivate into a divine power of the barbarian era! Moreover, the materials needed to unseal the Huwen Ding were too difficult for people at that time to find, so this matter was also abandoned.

  "The eight bronze tripods are divided into different methods of deciphering, each with its own unique way," Xǔ Yáng stroked the body of the tripod, which was carved with fierce beasts and snakes, deep in thought. "This tripod should be the Water Extreme Tripod."

  Start the Water Extreme Cauldron, and you need to replenish this spiritual object with Heavy Water. Fortunately, Xu Yang still had some leftover Heavy Water from when he was condensing his Xuan Wheel, which saved him a bit of trouble searching for it.

  Xu Yang retrieved a jade bottle from his storage ring, its light flashing as he opened the lid and poured a drop of heavy water into the cauldron.

  This drop of water looks ordinary, but as soon as it leaves the jade bottle, it swells up against the wind and quickly fills the entire cauldron. Xu Yang knows that this is the characteristic of heavy water: if you use a small bottle to hold it, it will fill the small bottle; if you use a large vat to hold it, it can fill the large vat. As it expands, the density of heavy water continues to decrease, and when its density becomes roughly equal to that of normal water, it will no longer expand.

  Xu Yang's starry sea of water extreme mysterious wheel thundered and turned, light blue water extreme mysterious power surged out, driving the heavy water to run, forming a whirlpool in the cauldron.

  At first, the Huáng Wén Dǐng was no different from an ordinary medicine tripod, with only a faint sound of ocean waves echoing. Xǔ Yáng's Xuán Lì operation became more and more urgent, faster and faster, and the whirlpool inside the Huáng Wén Dǐng also became more and more fierce. The ferocious beasts, long snakes, giant eagles, and poisonous insects carved on the outside wall of the tripod all came to life, as if they had been infused with vitality.

  "Very well, the method recorded in the classics is correct." Xǔ Yáng took out a piece of dark blue xuan stone from his storage ring, and amidst the howling wind, the xuan stone emitted the sound of surging ocean tides.

  This is a superior Xuan stone - Chao Yin Stone, used by Xu Yang to open the Hu Wen Ding.

  Xu Yang placed the Tidal Sound Stone in his hand, and with a loud crash, the stone was split into eight pieces under his powerful physical strength. Xu Yang embedded each of them into the eyes of the fierce beasts, golden eagles, long snakes, and poisonous insects on the outer wall.

  It was like adding the final touches to a painting, and those few carved heads nodded and swished their tails as they walked down from the wall of the cauldron.

  After leaving the outer wall of the ancient tripod, Xuyang joyfully discovered that on the outer wall, where these animals were originally painted, large areas of white appeared first, and then faint blue text emerged as if it had been soaked in water.

  These pale blue words are no longer obscure and barbaric texts, but the golden age is the common language of human beings in later generations!

  Xu Yang suppressed his excited and joyful mood, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the text, rapidly memorizing it while cross-checking with the barbaric script on the inner wall.

  Every time he found a matching character, Xu Yang would record it on a roll of animal skin.

  Those few heads carved out by the energy of the tide sound stone, with double pupils made of sea blue tide sound stone fragments, shining with a faint blue light. As time passed, the faint blue light gradually dimmed, and Xu Yang understood that this was the Xuan energy in the tide sound stone being consumed.

  But after a brief moment of fragrance, the fragments of the tidal sound stone were exhausted and scattered into dust. Several floating carvings shook their heads and tails, returning to the outer wall of the ancient tripod, covering up those translations tightly.

  Xu Yang let out a long sigh. A piece of tide sound stone, worth over a hundred Winged Tiger coins, had only exchanged for a brief moment of fragrance. He desperately compared and memorized, but could only understand about one-tenth of the text on the inner wall.

  "As long as there is enough Water Extreme Spirit Jade, the Wasteland Tripod can be reopened to study the remaining texts." Xu Yang felt relieved but also a bit worried. He had only obtained a piece of Tidal Sound Stone by chance, where could he find other Water Extreme treasures? There was no way, so he could only go to the East Sea City's market and trading floor to take a look.

  "Now I've grasped dozens of barbaric characters, let me try to see if I can understand the ancient book on the golden board." Xǔ Yáng's mind stirred, and he once again retrieved the golden board from his storage ring.

  On the right side of the golden board, four barbaric characters were written vertically. Xu Yang smiled wryly and shook his head, he didn't recognize a single one of them.

  As he continued to look down, he picked out the familiar characters and, with a mixture of guessing and inferring, Xuyang roughly figured out the content on this gold plate.

  "This should be a method for taming the ferocious beasts, that crimson thread-like thing, called 'Blood Energy', seems to be an energy that can promote the evolution of the ferocious beasts," Xǔ Yáng stroked the Blood Egg hanging from his waist and thought to himself, "It seems like a good thing, but everything in excess is not good... this absorption of energy is also like this... The Gluttonous Ball is too greedy, relying on the Devouring Beast's innate ability, it actually drank all the Blood Energy in the pool, what a mess."

  Although he had guessed the contents of the Golden Plaque, Xu Yang was still unclear about the subtle techniques involved, such as how to cultivate alien beasts and utilize blood energy, so he could only anxiously wait for Fei Qiu.

  "I must go to Donglai City as soon as possible, trade some aquatic treasures, open the Water Extreme Wasteland Ding, and learn all the barbaric texts on this ding," Xuyang made a decision. "Otherwise, I will never know how to use 'blood energy' and won't be able to help Fei Qiu."

  Even without the factor of Fei Qiu, Xu Yang still had to learn the Barbarian script. In this era, there were many secret realms, treasure lands, ancient artifacts, and jade stones that all had inscriptions of varying lengths in the Barbarian script. If Xu Yang could master the Barbarian script, he might be able to find some extremely powerful divine abilities from the Barbarian era.

  The next morning, Xu Yang slowly woke up from his cultivation, and he let out a long breath of turbid air. He felt that his strength had made another breakthrough, and was now very close to the peak of a Xuan Shi.

  He Da Liang Cheng's first battle with Cao Ang was a great trial for Xu Yang, and he gained many benefits from it. The violent surge of the Eight Trigrams also proved this point.

  Xu Yang descended from Lianyun Peak and flew east towards Donglai City. He no longer needed a horse to travel, as his own speed was several times faster than that of a galloping horse, and he could hold his breath for a long time without needing rest.

  Donglai City is the capital of Donglai Country, with an area dozens of times larger than Lin Yuan City. Outside the towering city walls, there are also several small towns attached to Donglai City, each of which can rival Lin Yuan City.

  Around these small towns, numerous villages and manors radiate in all directions.
