Chapter 128 A Predecessor's Handwritten Letter, A Thousand Words Hidden Within

Han Lingxiao nodded, then suddenly said seriously, "But before that, there is one more thing we need to do immediately, otherwise it will be difficult once they realize what's happening."

Lu Cheng said, "Master, please speak."

Han Lingxiao said, "It is widely believed that the Dongyang Sect's cultivation techniques all originated from the 'Purple Qi Spirit Guiding Technique' of its founder, Master Ziyin, but that is only what is said to outsiders."

"In fact, including the 'Purple Qi Spirit Guiding Technique,' all of these were derived from a secret treasure by our ancestors."

"What kind of treasure!" Lu Cheng's eyes lit up, and his heart began to pound.

The secret treasure that can help one comprehend Heavenly and Earthly Rank cultivation techniques—the entire resources of the Dongyang Sect, including all the Earthly Fiend Divine Weapons combined, probably wouldn't amount to even a fraction of this item!

Han Lingxiao nodded: "It is a handwritten book by an ancient person. It contains only a little over a thousand words, but it retains a trace of the writer's true intention."

"If you can comprehend this, you will have no more troubles in the Martial Grandmaster realm!"

"But after so many years, the true meaning in this handwritten letter has become increasingly faint, and it has become increasingly difficult to comprehend it."

Difficult to understand?

Lu Cheng is least afraid of comprehension.

With the Mandate of Heaven in his hands, even if Master Ziyin were alive, he would be no match for Lu Cheng!

"There's no time to lose, Master. Why don't you take me to see this treasure now?"

Han Lingxiao glanced at Lu Cheng and snorted, "You only remember the 'secret treasure,' you didn't listen to a word I said."

"They're wary of me more than they're of thieves now. If you go by yourself, they might not even realize what's happening. But if I'm with you, you won't even get a glimpse of me."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Master is right. So, who has this treasure now?"

Han Lingxiao said, "Yun Huizi was originally keeping it safe, but I'm not entirely sure about it now."

"It doesn't matter. Take my letter to Yunxiazi and ask her to borrow the secret treasure. You can then quietly comprehend it."

Lu Cheng clapped his hands in praise, "Master's plan is excellent!"

Han Lingxiao immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Lu Cheng.

Without saying a word, Lu Cheng went up to Taihe Peak.

Yunxiazi was kind and gentle. She could see the struggles within the sect clearly, but she was helpless to do anything about them.

Due to their different backgrounds and the constraints of their powerful family interests, they were forced to stand on the other side.

However, he was even closer to Yun Lingzi and Han Lingxiao than to Yun Huizi.

Therefore, after reading the letter, he immediately had Lu Cheng and the others wait inside the hall.

In less than half an hour, they retrieved a jade box.

Smiling, he said to Lu Cheng, "This item is extremely valuable and must not leave my sight. You can study it in this hall without worrying about time."

Lu Cheng sincerely thanked him and accepted the gift with both hands.

Upon opening the jade box, one finds a page of yellow paper filled with small characters.

"The mind can be focused, without flesh to love, without bones to weigh. Neither strong nor weak, it is only for use. If it is put into practice, it exists; if it is abandoned, it disappears."

If one seeks its origin, one is utterly bewildered by its meaning; if one investigates its source, one finds no basis for it.

"Light without brilliance, stillness without desolation, clarity without clarity, agitation without turbidity, praise without honor, destruction without disgrace, offering without value, rejection without loss, respect without benefit, indifference without erosion. Neither loss nor benefit, it is serene and inactive."

The content on the paper was incomplete; a large paragraph at the beginning was clearly missing.

The same applies to the end.

Therefore, this must be a page from a book.

Lu Cheng read it twice, but apart from finding it difficult to pronounce, he did not gain any insight into its essence.

Even the [Destiny] within his sea of ​​consciousness did not react.

What happened? Has the true meaning of this thing completely dissipated?

Just as I was wondering, Yunxiazi spoke up: "Don't worry about the missing parts, just concentrate on reading what you see, and the true meaning will naturally enter your heart."

Lu Cheng nodded, immediately clearing his mind of all thoughts and focusing solely on reciting the thousand-odd characters.

After repeating this several times, although he still couldn't understand the meaning, the words on the paper became more and more fluent.

As the text is read aloud, an indescribable feeling flows out with the pauses and cadences of the words.

Although Lu Cheng himself did not realize it, Yun Xiazi beside him stopped drinking tea and nodded slightly at Lu Cheng.

Feeling a mix of envy and感慨, he thought, "This child is truly a rare talent, having mastered the subject in such a short time. It's a pity that Senior Brother Han is about to leave the sect, so this child may face a shortage of resources in the future."

Unbeknownst to Yunxiazi, Lu Cheng had already entered the Qi Refining Realm.

Lu Cheng was unaware of Yun Xiazi's thoughts at that moment, and he didn't even notice her putting down her teacup and staring at him directly.

In Lu Cheng's eyes, the more than one thousand words on the paper in his hand were no longer words that could be seen with the naked eye.

Instead, they transformed into a series of ambiguous symbols, breaking free from the paper and then merging in the air to form a dazzling display of light and color.

picture.

The scene was initially completely black, then a sudden burst of light appeared.

The light gradually spread across the entire screen, eventually transforming into a great sun.

Under the bright sun, darkness dissipates, and the five-colored land shimmers with light.

On the land, a small tree withered its branches and leaves, its trunk turned yellow and dry, and it was just a hair's breadth away from dying.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that the dense, sharp stones in the soil beneath the tree had severed the sapling's root system, leaving it with only a very limited supply of nutrients.

Just then, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded.

The raindrops fell heavily, and the rainwater from the sky seeped into the soil, gradually making the soil wet and muddy.

The water flows through the soil, and although it does not dissipate the dense gold and stone, it brings abundant nutrients.

The tree roots were able to grow tenaciously, desperately extending along the only remaining cracks.

at last!

A root emerged from a crack, bypassed the metal and stone, and reached the soil further away.

Gradually, more and more roots grew, eventually enveloping the entire area of ​​gold and stone beneath the tree roots.

On the five-colored land, the saplings began to grow rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it grew into a towering tree that could not be seen from the sky.

As for the golden stone beneath the tree roots, compared to the giant tree at this moment, it was like an insignificant grain of sand.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, another beam of light flashed across the sky, and a massive bolt of golden-purple lightning crashed down onto the giant tree.

"Crack!"

As the giant tree was split in two, it burst into flames.

"puff!"

Lu Cheng, who was immersed in the true meaning, was also struck as if by lightning. The scene in front of him suddenly shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yun Xiazi, who was standing nearby, was immediately taken aback and put down her teacup: "Lu Cheng, what's going on!"

This situation was completely unexpected.

Previously, there were only those who failed to grasp the true meaning, but never anyone had been so deeply wounded by the true meaning as Lu Cheng!

Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time before dispelling the terrifying divine power of the purple lightning striking the wood from his consciousness.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the handwritten note in his hand, stained with a few drops of his own blood, and said apologetically, "Uncle-Master Yunxia, ​​this—"

Yunxiazi also fell silent. The bloodstains on the handwritten letter were a minor matter; the key issue was that there was a very conspicuous scorch mark on the letter.

And even she could sense that the already thin true meaning on it had almost completely vanished.

Yunxiazi did not blame Lu Cheng. She took the letter from Lu Cheng, put it back in the jade box, and said, "Things have come to this, it is fate. You don't need to worry about it."

Lu Cheng bowed in thanks.

Yunxiazi closed the jade box and continued, "However, this letter is, after all, a secret treasure of the Dongyang Sect. If we take it out, it would be enough to exchange for the protection of a Martial Grandmaster."

"I only hope that you can separate the sect from certain disciples."

"If possible in the future, leave some goodwill for the Dongyang Sect."

Lu Cheng stood up and said solemnly, "Uncle Yunxia, ​​rest assured, even if Master changes the sect, Lu Cheng will always be a disciple of the Dongyang Sect."

Yunxiazi nodded: "That's enough. Go back now, and remember to tell Senior Brother Han all this."

Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, then bowed and took his leave.

On the way, Lu Cheng walked while impatiently focusing his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the golden light of [Heavenly Mandate] shone brightly, with the radiance belonging to the "Minor Longevity Technique" being particularly dazzling.
