Chapter 107: Chapter 107: A Whole Book
Translator: 549690339
Inside the cabin, the terrifying energy wave emanating from Yang Zhen was still ongoing, with countless patterns clustering into words all around him, fluctuating dramatically mid-air, as if a sky of golden light were dazzling the onlookers.
The boss woman and Lin Shilang looked on in disbelief, their eyes fixed on Yang Zhen. But the shock they experienced was nothing in comparison to the levels Yang Zhen himself was experiencing.
Within Yang Zhen’s spirit sea, within the nebula that had always been floating in mid-air, a destined star suddenly burst with an earth-shattering light which lit up every corner of the spirit sea realm in an instant.
“Has the destined star, been ignited?”
Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up as he slowly turned around.
Behind him, countless golden characters surged like a stormy sea, converging into a copy of the Tao Te Ching!
Yang Zhen found it peculiar; he had once entered a state of enlightenment due to the Tao Te Ching, and while he had obtained some understanding, it was nowhere near as comprehensive as it was now.
Unexpectedly, under the guidance of the master’s talent, it had been transcribed into a book!
This kind of book was not something that was casually printed; it could be read
and understood by anyone.
The Tao Te Ching floating mid-air was inscribed by Yang Zhen’s talent, and although the inscriptions could not directly help others consolidate their own, they could greatly enhance their literary spirit and perhaps lead them to understand how to use literature to express the Dao.
“This… this is impossible, Yang Zhen, just what sorcery did you use, to be able to achieve such a degree?”
Lin Shilang exclaimed in shock, his sword making a zinging noise in his hand as he pointed it at Yang Zhen.
The boss woman snorted coldly, her giant saber whistling through the air to emit a terrifying golden energy wave that landed on Lin Shilang’s neck.
“Lin Shilang, I’ve warned you, if you dare disturb Yang Zhen, my knife doesn’t recognize what a Dajiang Country Scholar is.”
The boss woman’s voice was icy, calm, yet brimming with berserk energy; the rolling heat wave blasted towards him, yet her neck felt icy cold, scaring Lin Shilang into hastily withdrawing his sword.
Although his talent was extraordinary and he had become a Golden Core Stage expert at a young age, he stood no chance against a Nascent Soul Stage expert like the boss woman.
Moreover, the cultivation method the boss woman practiced was extremely ferocious. Once, someone had witnessed her in a battle with another Nascent Soul Stage expert, and it scared him into not eating for three days, trembling at the sight of large, knife-shaped objects.
Lin Shilang gave Yang Zhen a resentful look, took a deep breath, and said, “Boss woman, don’t worry, I won’t disturb Yang Zhen’s ‘enlightenment’. I want to see what exactly Yang Zhen intends to do!”
As he said this, Lin Shilang sneaked a glance at the boss woman’s expression, the corner of his mouth curling into a teasing smile.
Although the boss woman hadn’t said anything, Lin Shilang could tell from her expression that she didn’t believe Yang Zhen could achieve understanding by writing the Dao.
At least she didn’t fully believe, or… she didn’t dare to believe!
The gaze of the boss woman at Yang Zhen indeed carried an unbelievable expression, because it was just too incredible.
Countless talented young people from all over the continent had been in the master’s study room. Even though the majority of them had more talent than Yang Zhen, none of them had obtained enlightenment within the study room like Yang Zhen did.
Yang Zhen’s golden aura was still condensing, and it seemed to become increasingly profound, making the boss woman and Lin Shilang extremely anxious.
Everyone inside and outside the cabin was waiting, but this waiting lasted for three days!
At Turtle Serpent Island, in the depths of the East Sea, where few could reach, a massive whirlpool formed, with terrifying waves blocking out the sun. The deafening sound of the crashing waves resonated, echoing throughout the universe.
Mid-air, an old man stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a golden light. Fabrics of talent inscriptions swirled around, resembling golden dragons which set off his ascetic image.
Opposite him, a colossal creature towered, its sheer size towering like a mountain even with only half its body emerging from the sea surface. Its terrifying tentacles tore through the waves, roaring and charging towards the old man.
The old man laughed heartily, casually waving his hand. The inscriptions, resembling furious dragons, tore through the sky, breaking through the surging waves and clashing with the oncoming tentacles.
Boom, boom, boom!
The horrifying roars drowned out the sound of the waves, stirring a huge spray of water that shot into the sky and fell back down.
The combat atmosphere between the man and the beast obscured the sky. Amidst the towering waves, the old man suddenly shuddered, looking surprised as he glanced in a certain direction, and said to the rampaging beast, “Stop! We will continue the fight later!”
Ignoring him, the beast’s eyes glowed red, roaring as countless tentacles charged at the old man. The surrounding space seemed to vibrate amidst the dark light.
The old man glared back, opened his mouth impatiently saying, “Moo!”
Boom!
A terrifying sound wave that penetrated the heavens and the earth exploded suddenly from the elder’s side. Following the churning of the sea waves, half of the sea water was blasted into mid-air, forming a vast water pit. The monstrous creature’s mountain-like body froze, then suddenly plunged backward. While careening across the water surface for thousands of feet, it let out a mournful howl. Its crimson eyes flickered with terror as it gradually began to sink into the water.
The elder’s voice was as bovine, but it manifested such earth-shaking power. Ignoring the monster’s wailing, he looked uncertainly in the direction of Xiushan City.
“Gone?” The elder sighed. Suddenly he turned his head towards the half-sunk monster and vented angrily, “You damn thing, give me back my disciple!” The creature looked dazed. Upon seeing the elder charging towards it, it hurriedly turned around and fled.
“You damn thing, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day? Did I ask you to stop? Did I ask you to stop?”
Thud! Thud!
The elder rode on the monster’s body, pummeling it into a bloody pulp with each punch.
The creature wailed incessantly, a look of confusion deepening in its eyes. It clearly had no idea why the old man had suddenly gone mad.
The airship named Blade was hovering in mid-air. Tendrils of golden patterns emitting radiant light began to swirl around slowly.
Boom!
A thunder eruption materialized out of the blue in mid-air. A golden lightning bolt, as thick as a bowl, descended from the heavens. Resembling a raging dragon, it flew violently towards the Blade.
Yang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, Stop!
Hum!
The heavenly phenomenon disappeared. The golden lightning transformed instantaneously into a golden inscription which entered Yang Zhen’s mind through the Blade.
-You finally woke up!” The elder sister leader exclaimed delightedly, standing up from her seat with an odd look in her eyes as she watched Yang Zhen, just when Yang Zhen was about to speak, the elder sister walked up to him. After examining him from head to toe, she exclaimed.
“Such a rich aura of talent. You have really comprehended it. So, how is it? The Master said, understanding three characters is enough to make you his personal disciple. How many have you understood?”
Outside the cabin door, practitioners who were alerted by the golden lightning all hurried over. Among the crowd, Lin Shilang stiffened upon hearing this question.
Yang Zhen seemed oblivious to the noisy crowd outside. He gave the elder sister an odd look and asked incredulously, “Three characters?”
Personal disciple with just three characters?
This old man seemed not that great.
Seeing this, Lin Shilang sneered, smirking as he walked towards the cabin door.
Seeing the surprised look on Yang Zhen’s face, the elder sister paused, sighed, and patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder. “It’s okay. Quite a few people have entered the Master’s study, but no one has ever understood even a single character. You’ve already done welL.perhaps the Master might lower his standards!”
“Lower the standards?” Lin Shilang shook his head as he walked and said, “If the Master could lower his standards, he wouldn’t be without a personal disciple until now.”
Yang Zhen blinked at the elder sister and sighed, “I indeed did not comprehend three characters…”
The smirk on Lin Shilang’s face grew wider.
“…but rather a whole book. I wonder if that’s acceptable?”
Clang!
The elder sister’s large sword fell to the ground; the blade’s tip landed right on Lin Shilang’s foot.
“Ouch!!!”
Lin Shilang’s face twisted in agony.
“You said…how much have you comprehended?” The elder sister seemed to have not heard Lin Shilang’s yell, and asked unbelievingly as she stared at Yang Zhen..
