Chapter 364: Chapter 2 Information from Twenty Years Ago
Yue seldom sought out Wang Sheng, coming back to communicate only a fraction of the time, and always only after he had ended his cultivation retreat, like how she found him directly during his retreat this time, which had never happened before.
Wang Sheng had thought something significant must have happened and didn’t hesitate to end his retreat.
“What’s the matter, Yue?”
Yue shook her head and simply produced a Jade Scroll, then said, “Lord Wang Sheng, I hope you can take another look at this Jade Scroll.”
The Jade Scroll was familiar to Wang Sheng; it was sent by Yue’s master, the Valley Master of the Stargazing Valley.
Now, if Wang Sheng wanted to, he could easily do these things.
However, he was somewhat surprised as to why Yue would suddenly bring up this matter. It was definitely not normal.
“Besides other Great Grandmaster forces, which may not be superior, have existed for a long time. They have obtained ‘******,’ and although their strength has not exceeded the norm, they are still thieves of the world. If capable, you must kill them!
*** are incomplete. If capable, ****!”
This was the content of the Jade Scroll previously sent by the Valley Master of the Stargazing Valley. A large part was clear, but some of the content seemed to be muted.
At that time, he thought it was interfered with.
Plus, after further investigation, he roughly knew the answer and didn’t bother with it further.
Unexpectedly, Yue had come to him with this object.
Was there any change in the Jade Scroll?
If so, how terrifying might the intentions of the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley be?
But clearly, he was overthinking it.
“Lord Wang Sheng, I feel that if one’s strength is sufficiently powerful, perhaps they can see all of the content inside.”
“All of the content?”
Wang Sheng, a little puzzled, said, “Yue, you should be clear about the content inside the Jade Scroll, right? It’s obviously been tampered with.”
“Of course I’m aware, but after cultivating the path of Spirit, when I felt it again, I found I could just barely see the content clearly. I think with your current strength, Lord Wang Sheng, you can probably see it all.”
Yue didn’t know how to explain further and could only tell the truth.
“Show me!”
Wang Sheng knew that Yue was not one to speak without reason.
These matters were not to be taken lightly; he wanted to verify for himself.
Soon, he formed his Divine Thought again.
That familiar voice came, it was the voice of the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley, and this time the content he heard was different.
“…they have obtained ‘the strength of all people in the world,’ and although their strength has not exceeded the norm, they are still thieves of the world. If capable, you must kill them!
‘Everyone’ is incomplete. If capable, ‘slay the monster hiding within the dynasty!’”
Yes, the content was completely different; what was once missing had been filled in.
“Is it because my strength is sufficient, or is it because some restrictions have been bypassed?”
But before he had time to think it through, he heard a different content.
It was utterly dissimilar from what he had heard before.
“To reach a higher realm, one must find their own Qi Fortune Line from the body of a Qi Fortune Monster and find a way to sever it. This can’t be done without the dynasty. Should the dynasty fall, perhaps an even more terrifying thing must be faced.”
This was an entirely new statement.
When he first received the Jade Scroll, there was none of this content.
“Lord Wang Sheng, what’s the result?”
“Your speculation was correct, and I obtained even more content than that.”
He repeated the newly appeared sentences.
“There’s new content, that’s impossible, isn’t it? The Jade Scroll couldn’t possibly add content on its own, could it?” Yue was baffled; she had never considered this possibility.
“No, it’s possible. What if that sentence had been entirely blocked? You know, these aren’t written words but spoken audio. It’s not impossible for a whole sentence to have been blocked.”
Although initially surprised, Wang Sheng quickly thought of the possibility after calming down.
Other sentences had content blocked, and they guessed based on the context of the speech. It turned out that their speculation was spot on.
Indeed, the places he thought could be blocked now had new content appearing.
“It’s true, if it had been completely blocked, we really wouldn’t know, and amongst all the content, this sentence is indeed the most important and involves the deepest secrets,” Yue nodded in realization, her understanding breaking through with a single point.
However, the main issue now wasn’t about that.
The primary problem lay in the content of the Jade Scroll itself and why Wang Sheng could see all of its contents.
The first point needs no mention; every sentence is valuable information left by the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley.
If used well, it could be the key to breaking the deadlock.
The second point seems trivial, but since they couldn’t see the full message before and now they could, figuring it out would no doubt yield great benefits, with much room for utilization.
“Let’s set aside the first two messages; essentially, we can confirm those.”
Wang Sheng had already painstakingly investigated the two messages one by one, gathering information from various sources.
The notion “man is incomplete” was obtained from the Scholar’s books left in the Imperial City, while “obtained the strength of everyone in the world” could also be guessed to likely refer to the Reaping Law, harvesting the whole world to enhance oneself.
“If that’s the case, the seven thieves the Valley Master spoke of can almost be definitively identified as the seven great families. There should be no other possibility,” Yue quickly made her judgment.
“Likely so, but the value of these messages is not that significant anymore. The most important is the new information I just received—the method to unlock the restrictions!”
