Chapter 514: 514: Key
Everyone had finally passed the entrance blocked by the deadly wind storm. Under the protection of the Immortal Sun Emperor and led by the Moon Goddess they finally saw the interior of the hidden dungeon. They were welcomed by the sudden strangeness of a wall full of ancient runes in ancient language.
With the daughter of the oldest World Tree, Anastasia’s daughter, Su Hialun, they found a way to communicate with these runes. The first group who had arrived had all sat on the ground meditating while staring at the runes on the walls. Yue Xuexia glanced at the runes on the walls and closed her eyes as if uninterested.
There is only her and Shen Jueyang who didn’t meditate with the others. The Immortal Sun Emperor prepares a tea set for the two of them while waiting for everyone to wake up.
Shen Jueyang said, "Nothing on these walls would interest you. But that Beast Spirit Liger will definitely like it. How about letting it out?"
"They are not in Yuanying Realm. They might get overwhelmed by the rules of this place," said Yue Xuexia as she sat on the stone chair Shen Jueyang for them.
He served her some tea and desserts as they waited. This is something that they cannot hasten and let the others take their time.
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "It is true that you can’t let them out. But you can pass what you have seen to your own world."
"That’s worth a try," said Yue Xuexia as she looked at the four walls with only a glance and closed her eyes.
The whole process took only three minutes to finish before she opened her eyes again. The Immortal Sun Emperor was stunned by the whole scene and couldn’t help but be amazed and surprised.
He asked, "Have you done it?"
He saw her nod her head and said, "Done. I’ve memorized everything and passed it to everyone in my world. If one can comprehend them then that’s good."
"But you only took three minutes to remember everything and passed them the knowledge. It’s as if you just cooked an instant noodle," said Shen Jueyang.
Yue Xuexia looked at him in disbelief and said, "To think you would compare the whole process to making instant noodles. What a metaphor."
The two were having this conversation when the other groups finally arrived. They were not like their group who were well protected that not even a crease on their robes had appeared. These groups had suffered quite a bit. The two chosen ones brought by the Hell dragon only suffered scratches. However, the group lead by the Hidden Sage had lost a few limbs that they had used some kind of pills or techniques to regrow them.
"We’re here!"
"Finally, here!"
"Ugh!"
"I lost Shixiong! Boohoo~"
"What is this place?"
"Is this the interior of the hidden dungeon?"
"What is that on the wall?"
"Hey! That’s the first group."
"Amazing! They’ve all survived."
"Also without any wounds."
"Being protected by an immortal is truly unfair."
"Hey! Watch your mouth!"
"What are they all doing? Meditating?"
"Is there something about these walls and writings?"
Some cultivators walked around and stared at the walls. The longer they stare at it the more they can comprehend. It didn’t take long for some of them to enter the meditative state like the others. It was only then did the Hidden Hermit understand what was going.
"Focus on one rune and try to comprehend as much as you can. There are laws of the wind in this area." The Hidden Hermit said to his people.
The others already understood its meaning and did it even without others explaining. The runes here are all starter ancient runes. It’s the most basic of basics. However, like the Hidden Hermit had said there are indeed a bit of laws of wind elements in this hall. But what they need is compatibility. Only those compatible with wind elements will gain the most in this area.
Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang waited in this hall for half a day until finally a few from those who are meditating learned the Deadly Wind Storm Technique that blocked their paths from before.
"I’ve learned it. Death Wind Storm! So that one at the entrance is a technique!"
"Me too..."
"But... Why is it too small?!"
"I cannot comprehend more further than this."
Everyone started waking up one by one and saw this scene. Some learned something else. Some learned that Death Wind Storm and others don’t get anything at all.
Shen Jueyang who was observing everyone with Yue Xuexia said, "It seems no one was able to get in contact with the Laws of the Wind."
"What would happen if they do get in contact with the Laws of the Wind?" Yue Xuexia asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor nonchalantly answered while everyone was waiting for him to speak.
Shen Jueyang said, "Then there is a possibility for him or her to gain the legacy of the God of Wind."
"So, the key to the Wind God’s Legacy is in this place. However, only the fated one can receive it?" The Moon Goddess asked.
Shen Jueyang said, "Yes. Legacy in this place cannot be stolen. As those who are slumbering in this place will only allow their heir to leave only once they’ve fully inherited the Legacy."
Those with evil plans and are listening in the words of the Immortal Sun God couldn’t help but curse in their hearts. Obviously, this is a warning from this immortal himself. Seeing him like this Yue Xuexia couldn’t help but smile. She felt that the words of Shen Jueyang are said on purpose.
The Moon Goddess said, "You said that on purpose."
"Um. Even so, what can they do to me?" Responded the Immortal Sun God with an arrogant stance.
All of the sudden, Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia noticed a powerful surge of wind elements and they immediately isolated it. However, some people in the area were blown by this huge tornado that envelopes one person.
WHOOSH!
SWIRLS~
Tan Shenyu woke up after almost being blown away. His father had grabbed him like the others and jumped out of the range of this large tornado.
"What the hell?! What is happening!? What is all this wind for?!" complained Ta Shenyu.
Tan Bingyu said, "Dad, be careful. You might bite your tongue."
"That is someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect. It’s the Sect Master, Wan Yuyan," said Xue Renxue as he supported Tan Bingyu.
From the other side, Xia Lianyu and Xing Kunlun were protecting Grandma Su and their disciples. They avoided the range of the tornado and watched as Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia isolate Wan Yuyan within the barrier they’ve made.
The Starfield Sect Master Xing Kunlun commented, "So Sect Master Wan Yuyan’s main element is wind. No wonder his opponent can hardly avoid his sword."
"What is happening to him? What did he comprehend to make such noise?" Supreme elder, Xia Lianyu, of the Starfield Sect asked.
They saw Huashe Roushen talking to the Moon Goddess before retreating with Supreme Elder Wan Yuyi. They looked unexpectedly happy when they successfully retreated.
Supreme Elder Wan Yuyi said, "As expected of my disciple. He is indeed one of the kind."
"His talent is amazing. What surprised me is for him to find the key to the Wind God’s Legacy," said Huashen Roushen.
"As long as he inherited it at the end, we will have another go in our sect," said Supreme Elder Wan Yuyi.
Huashen Roushen said to him, "Don’t worry you will find your turn. Even if it’s not the legacy, what we can gain in this place will be enough for you to break through to the Huashen Realm."
"I will do my best, Shixiong!" Wan Yuyi said.
Those who are eavesdropping didn’t expect that the Heavenly Sword Sect, Sect Master, Wan Yuyi, had found the key to the legacy of the Wind God. Once this legacy is paired with his Sword Intent, he would become much more powerful than he is now.
The barrier that enclosed the tornado Wan Yuyan had called prevented the tornado from causing havoc in the hall. Only when a tornado imprint mixed with his sword imprint which appeared to be glowing on Wan Yuyan’s forehead did the wind elements calm down.
Once the tornado had disappeared, Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia had removed the barrier around Sect Master Wan Yuyan. The new greenish imprint on his forehead caught everyone’s eyes.
Wan Yuyan touched his forehead and mumbled, "Is this the key to the God of Wind’s Legacy?"
The people in the crowd had mixed reactions. Some congratulate Wan Yuyan. The others felt jealous and others were observing the imprint on his forehead and asked how he found the key. The one who asked openly is the Hidden Hermit, Lu Wenqi.
An old man wearing scholar robes while using his cane to support himself asked, "Is it possible for this old man to ask how you find the key to the god’s legacy, Sect Master Wan Yuyan?"
"Of course! It’s not that much to keep a secret. It’s out of my control anyway. During my meditation and after I digested as many runes in this hall, I suddenly heard a voice in my head saying that I am the most compatible to inherit his legacy and then left the key on me," said Wan Yuyan. "That’s all that happened."
Everyone was surprised that they couldn’t believe it. It was the gods of this place that chose their heir and these trials were merely trials that allowed the others to gain something. As for the legacy, only the one chosen by the fallen god can inherit them.
