Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 158: True-word chains

Wang Weijun said, "That's because you haven't understood it yet. You need to learn to think like the ancients. Let me explain it to you, and perhaps you'll get the idea."

Mi Xiaojing asked, "Can you understand it?"

"Pah! How could I possibly not understand it? Of course, I can! I've seen this type of Pill Scripture before."

In truth, Wang Weijun was exaggerating. He could understand it, but not completely. If Mi Xiaojing could understand five percent of it, he could understand fifty percent, and guess about twenty percent of the content. The remaining thirty percent would require time and careful consideration.

The characteristic of ancient texts is that a single character can contain a lot of information. To explain an ancient text, hundreds of words might be needed. The same is true for mantras, which is why mantras can correspond to ancient texts. The only problem is that many cultivators' understanding of ancient texts is often ineffable.

Wang Weijun first explained the characteristics of ancient texts. This alone helped Mi Xiaojing understand many things, and his comprehension improved. When he looked at the ancient texts again, the previously incomprehensible characters gradually became clearer.

If Mi Xiaojing could only understand five percent of the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture without guidance, after Wang Weijun's explanation, he could understand ten percent.

This was a significant improvement, but Mi Xiaojing still found that even the parts he understood had no practical value. His cultivation level was too low.

This was not a problem that could be solved by comprehension alone. A corresponding cultivation level was required for a corresponding understanding. With the realm that Wang Weijun had once reached, he understood more about the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture than someone with superior comprehension. This was the gap in cultivation strength.

Wang Weijun said, "It's okay if you don't understand. Just keep reading and pondering, and spend more time on it. Do you know what kind of sensation the appearance of the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture would cause in the Cultivation World? It could probably trigger a bloody war. This thing is very tempting. No one can silently record the content of the Pill Scripture like you. Anyone who gets the Pill Scripture would spend time pondering it every day. As long as there's a bit of gain, it's good enough."

Mi Xiaojing nodded. He knew that many things couldn't be rushed. He was happy to have discovered a heaven-defying function of the Heart Tower, which could record the content of the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture. This alone made it worthwhile.

As for not understanding, it didn't matter. Just because he didn't understand it today didn't mean he wouldn't understand it in the future. The content was recorded in the Heart Tower, and unless something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be lost. This gave him enough time to comprehend.

"Do you think I can refine the Divine Pill?"

"It's extremely difficult, almost impossible to succeed. Even if you do succeed, you'll probably only produce a low-grade Divine Pill. The efficacy of a low-grade Divine Pill is much worse, but of course, it's better than nothing. You can try it, anyway, you don't have to provide the materials."

Just as Mi Xiaojing and Wang Weijun were talking, a sudden change occurred. Wang Weijun was abruptly entangled by chains that shot out from the Heart Tower and was dragged into it. In fact, he was dragged into the Mantra Banner. Mi Xiaojing was stunned. This was the first time he knew that Wang Weijun was trapped by chains formed by the Mantra Script.

"How are you?"

"I'm cultivating!"

Wang Weijun shamelessly bluffed, maintaining his dignity.

After the golden-purple chain dragged Wang Weijun away, it immediately wrapped around the surface of the Heart Tower and began to combine with the ancient text on the Heart Tower.

Wang Weijun was actually baffled. He didn't think he had triggered the Mantra Banner, so he didn't understand why he was dragged back. However, being a master, he quickly calmed down and observed carefully.

Inside the Mantra Banner, chains were flying in the air. This was a self-contained space, with no visible top or bottom, and the surroundings were vague. The golden-purple chains, composed of huge Mantra Scripts, were something Wang Weijun knew to be extremely abnormal. If his physical body hadn't been lost, he would have confidence in reclaiming this Mantra Banner. Now, however, he could only be suppressed by the Mantra Banner to the point of near death.

The most terrifying thing was the chains inside the Mantra Banner. Some of them would pass through his Elemental Infant. Wang Weijun was like a small bug on a spider web, firmly trapped in the center of the web. The Mantra Banner usually wouldn't activate the chains, so he could go to the Heart Tower. But once the Mantra Banner was activated, he could only be dragged back without any resistance, with no way to break free.

Wang Weijun suddenly thought that there must be a reason for the Mantra Banner to activate at this time. He just didn't know what had triggered the Mantra Banner to activate at this moment, causing him to lose face in front of Mi Xiaojing.

"Fortunately, I'm smart. The kid probably doesn't understand what's going on."

Wang Weijun muttered to himself.

Mi Xiaojing didn't even know that there was an Evolutionary Immortality treasure inside him. He had come to trust Wang Weijun, so when he said he was cultivating, he believed it was cultivation. It was just too sudden. He disappeared before he finished explaining.

What a strange old man!

Mi Xiaojing didn't withdraw his Divine Sense, but continued to watch the Heart Tower. The changes were too significant, and he wanted to see what these Mantra Chains were going to do.

The Mantra once again combined with the text of the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture. This time was different from the last. It seemed that the Mantra Chains had become familiar with the ancient text and directly transformed into chains.

Seven chains were formed in total. They didn't retreat back into the Heart Tower, but slowly floated up and eventually began to rotate around the substitute puppet sitting on the Heart Tower.

The rotation speed was extremely fast, forming traces like a whirlwind.Mi Xiaojing was completely stunned, just staring blankly, unsure of what to do.

Gradually, the seven ancient chains formed into a sphere, continuing to orbit around the substitute puppet, like seven stars flying. The color was different from the true-word chains, presenting a luxurious purple glow, forming streaks of afterimages, like meteors crossing the sky, leaving long purple trails behind.

How beautiful!

Mi Xiaojing watched in awe. He couldn't do anything but observe this transformation. He knew in his heart that this was not something he had created.

Wang Weijun was once again in a difficult situation. He found that the energy he had painstakingly accumulated was being drained again. The speed of the drain wasn't fast this time, but it was still more than he could resist. Having suffered several major losses, Wang Weijun had come to understand that if he didn't resist, the speed of the drain wouldn't be fast. But if he did resist, the speed of the drain could cause him to collapse.

Frightened, Wang Weijun hurriedly began to cultivate. His only thought was not to repeat the losses of last time. He couldn't let his Elemental Infant hover on the edge of collapse. That would truly be terrifying. To be continued... Your support is my greatest motivation.
