"This is an imprint stone. By chance, it recorded some of the innate supernatural abilities of an early generation." The old man at the auction house held a black, round stone more than a foot in diameter in one hand and activated it directly.
Suddenly, a huge handprint appeared abruptly in the sky above the auction house. It was entirely composed of patterns and runes, like a projection, standing still in the sky. But apart from that, there was no other movement, which made many people sigh.
This means that the branding stone only records the manifestation of a supernatural power, not the starting point. Rather than having any value, it is more like a useless tool.
It's like watching a movie, which is only a second or two long and has no beginning or end. Watching it is the same as not watching it at all. Even if you copy it based on the symbols on it, you can't make it regenerate. In fact, the difficulty is no less than creating a new method.
"The Hand of Heaven? It doesn't seem like it... It's probably just a fool's game." Bai Ye shook his head.
That kind of thing is at least tens of thousands of years old, so it definitely doesn't belong to this era. As for its use, he really couldn't figure it out. If he could research it and find results, the auction house wouldn't be putting it up for sale.
"Ahem... The starting bid is 50,000 crystal coins." The host seemed to have anticipated this outcome.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than someone else spoke up, "One hundred thousand."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to the moon in the center of the sky, and then the entire auction house fell silent, with no one daring to compete.
"That voice sounds so familiar... No way..."
"You're saying the Grand Elder is an idiot..." Elder Eagle grinned, adding insult to injury.
A moment later, Bai Ye stared at the black stone that had been delivered, his face twitching uncontrollably. He wasn't the real First Generation, and even if he were, could he resonate with a mere imprint stone? Who would believe that!
The auction continued, and Elder Eagle activated the branding stone to project a picture for Bai Ye to study.
But what troubled him was that after studying it for a long time, he still had no clue.
"No, this is a spatial magic..."
Suddenly, Bai Ye's eyes lit up as he stared at the intricate runes. A change gradually rose in the depths of his gaze, as if two transparent suns were slowly emerging, and he sensed a glimpse of heavenly secrets.
At the same time, the palm print began to come alive in his eyes. The runes were sorted, the Daoist rhyme was reorganized, and the spatial patterns emerged. Everything seemed to be re-evolving, gradually forming a transparent palm print.
This is the original form of that hand, belonging to a kind of spatial supernatural power, but it is incomplete, lacking the most important starting stance and the final attack stance.
The two old men looked at each other, their shock barely concealed as they gazed at the young boy lost in thought.
But this was just the beginning. As time went on, Bai Ye seemed to fall into a state of self-forgetfulness, with wisps of spatial fragments flying around and filling the entire private room.
They constantly change, sometimes transforming into palms, sometimes merging into space, undergoing various extraordinary evolutions, and occasionally attracting divine thoughts from afar.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist! With such a prodigy in the Jietian Sect, how could it not prosper?" In the very center of the area, an old man in white robes with an air of otherworldly wisdom spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"When has my Jietian Sect ever declined!" The Grand Elder smiled broadly, his old face ruddy and his eyebrows dancing. That little fellow Bai Ye was giving him more and more surprises.
“There are a few beings like the first generation in every era, but how many can truly reach the level of you and me? It’s too early to say,” the white-robed old man said.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye opened his eyes. A ray of white light, like the first ray of light to appear when the heavens and earth were created, was bright and dazzling. It flashed in his eyes, and instantly, all the symbols in the private room gathered together and condensed into a transparent palm in the air.
The next moment, the palm landed silently on the branding stone, slamming it down heavily and causing it to disintegrate instantly.
This sudden scene made the two old servants stare wide-eyed, as if looking at a monster, at the young boy who had closed his eyes to comprehend the mystery again.
Even the white-robed elder of the Patching Heaven Sect in the distance couldn't help but get up from his chair.
"They've really come up with something amazing..." Even the Grand Elder couldn't help but rub his eyes.
The Heaven-Severing Technique can seize the opportunities of Heaven and take away creation. Although it is useless most of the time, it can sometimes bring good fortune. An occasional success is enough to amaze anyone, just like not making any business for three years, but making enough to live on for three years.
"It's not the original supernatural power, but the initial version after its reorganization!" The white-robed old man's eyes flashed, and he had an urge to slap that private room.
Although it is only in its initial stage, given time, it can certainly be perfected and transformed into a strange and terrifying supernatural power that is impossible to defend against.
"Don't forget the agreement: it's best for the older generation not to interfere in the affairs of the young. If you dare to be shameless, our entire sect will be shameless as well."
"Are you threatening me?" The old man in white robes regained his composure, his calm face revealing no emotion.
"No, it's just a warning." The elder smiled broadly.
But soon after, the elder's smile vanished. He swept away a snow-white lotus flower with a flick of his sleeve, gave a cold snort, and left the auction house.
"Paying three times the price for a good prospect, would you really feel bad?" The old man in white robes had sharp eyes. He glanced at the empty private room and remained silent for a long time.
There were indeed not many who were able to grow up in the first generation, but there were some. For example, the reason why the Patching Heaven Sect was so outstanding was partly because of its first generation.
Even its most powerful and secret techniques were left behind by the first generation.
If even one of these first-generation beings were to grow up, the impact it would have would be absolutely unprecedented, and could even break the current balance between the two religions.
night.
Bai Ye looked at the crystal-like lotus flower in front of him and sighed softly. He was so engrossed in the auction that he missed it. He had heard that there were many good things, such as rare herbs like Blood Soul Grass and Soul Nourishing Grass.
"Blood Soul Grass is not bad, I heard it can grant magic immunity..."
"I've heard it can even kill people. Several of the first generation didn't believe it, and they all died as a result." Old Eagle lowered his eyes, but his words were truly heartbreaking.
"No, just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't either," Bai Ye retorted.
"It's not that it's impossible, but a few years later, when people see Blood Soul Grass, they will say that the first generation of the Intercepting Heaven Sect died because they ate grass, and the grass on their graves is now several feet tall."
"Perhaps the Heaven-Mending Sect would love for you to eat more," an old woman chimed in, the two of them speaking in perfect unison.
"That's why you're only at the Divine Fire Realm. When looking at things, don't just look at the surface or listen to rumors. Think positively. If I succeed, I'll be an unprecedented pioneer, and my name will be etched in history."
"Then you may become a small cornerstone on the path of pioneering, unknown and forgotten."
white night:"……"
Chapter 23 Mysterious White Fish
Today is the day the Heaven-Mending Realm opens, and the central area of the entire Water Mirror City is already packed with people, so many that the residents are amazed.
The Patching Heaven Sect, the Meteorite Academy, the Taiyin Clan, the White Deer Academy... everywhere were energetic young men and women. They stood in various places, their eyes bright and piercing. Some were unruly, while others were quietly observing others.
However, the most gazes were undoubtedly fixed on Bai Ye.
He stood alone beside the Grand Elder, clad in black scale armor, his hair tied back, his gaze unwavering, exuding calmness and aloofness.
"Is he the first generation of the Jietian Sect...? He looks really extraordinary. I wonder what his innate supernatural abilities are..." The group from Tianyun Academy became wary. They had met him once yesterday, but did not know his identity at the time.
"I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect has joined forces with Li Yuncong to seize the destiny together," someone whispered.
This secret realm was originally controlled by the Heaven-Mending Sect, and they knew far better than anyone else what opportunities lay within it. Unfortunately, not everyone could attend yesterday's banquet.
"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. I hope you will act according to your abilities. If necessary, you can crush your jade tokens and withdraw voluntarily." The old man of the Patching Heaven Sect, who had been standing in the center of the field, spoke slowly.
He stood on an ancient altar, his gaze sweeping around, deep and profound, yet undeniably dignified, especially when it landed on Bai Ye, pausing for a moment.
The next moment, with a loud boom, the altar beneath the white-robed old man emitted a dazzling light, causing the entire ancient city to tremble violently.
Runes appeared one after another, and order after order intertwined, opening a vast portal on the altar.
That gate was so large that it soared into the clouds and seemed to reach the sky, like a heavenly gate, making every living being that saw it deeply experience what insignificance meant.
"Remember, do what you can." The old man reminded him again, then waved his hand, and the vast door was pushed open.
Instantly, the rich essence of heaven and earth poured out like a vast sea of smoke, engulfing the entire Water Mirror City.
At the same moment, figures rushed into the portal like streaks of light, including Bai Ye.
"Are you worried?" The old man in white robes walked over and stood next to the Grand Elder. "The fledgling eagle will eventually fly out of the nest. Whether it is a dragon or a worm, only time will tell. But blindly protecting it will only prolong the process of it learning to fly."
"No, I'm just worried that he might actually kidnap your church's saintess."
"If he dares to lay a finger on my granddaughter, I'll skin him alive!"
The Grand Elder remained silent for a moment, but he also felt a vague sense of unease, as if something uncontrollable might happen during this journey to the secret realm.
At this moment, in the Heaven-Mending Mirror, Bai Ye stood on a primeval mountain, looking at the boundless world in the distance. Many people separated as soon as they entered, and did not collide with each other as expected.
Furthermore, the rules of this world are more complete than those of ordinary small worlds, and there is also an exceptionally powerful suppressive force. Here, it is impossible to use any strength beyond the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even when he used a Heavenly God-level forbidden artifact, it was still suppressed.
However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world is astonishingly rich. The entire world is filled with wisps of smoke-like spiritual mist, making the world hazy and difficult to see far.
"Crack..."
Suddenly, an unusual sound came from behind him, and an unprecedented sense of crisis made him turn to the side without hesitation and then leap away.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, his original spot seemed to have been cleaved by a sword, leaving a wide crack more than a meter wide.
This was a strange, ferocious beast that resembled a mantis but had black wings. It lay on the cliff face, its entire body gray, and a pair of sharp scythes, each over three meters long, were faintly visible in the surrounding smoke, emitting a cold, eerie luster. It was extremely powerful, far surpassing his former level.
Bai Ye had no doubt that if he had reacted even a fraction of a second slower, his small body would have been split in two.
When its first attack failed, the mantis tried to disappear into the smoke and retreat, but Bai Ye was not about to let it go.
In an instant, a golden light pierced the darkness, dispelled the mist, and exuded a vast and sacred aura, rushing forward like a bolt of lightning.
The speed was so fast, and the shockwave was so powerful, that the mantis didn't even have time to react before its head was pierced.
After confirming that there were no other mantises around, Bai Ye walked over. Generally speaking, these solitary ferocious beasts have their own territories, as well as guardian plants and other things.
"Blue Lotus?"
Bai Ye stood on the cliff face, watching a blue lotus swaying gracefully in a crevice in the rock.
It is only the size of a face, with six petals, and its whole body is crystal blue. It sways slightly on one side of the cliff, autonomously absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which is very mysterious.
This is a type of lotus that is not uncommon. It usually grows only in the crevices of rocks and is rich in extraordinary divine essence and abundant life force, which has a great effect on the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Although the plant in front of him only had six petals and had not yet reached the height of seven petals, it was still a rare treasure to him.
He casually picked a lotus flower, leaving only its stem, and then suddenly jumped up from the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain lies a large lake, its surface dark and glossy, radiating a chilling aura that appears extremely eerie.
"Where is this?!" Even Bai Ye felt himself trembling, his soul almost frozen.
There was a very special kind of cold air here, which could harm the body and destroy the spirit. The moment he fell into the water, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a water arrow shot out from the water and hit his face. The black arrow was no bigger than the palm of his hand, very small and not very powerful.
Just as he dodged to the side, another water jet shot towards him, this time from a different direction. He could see it clearly: a strange little white fish, over a foot long, poked its head out of the water and opened its mouth, unleashing yet another water jet.
Seeing that he didn't even bother to dodge, in an instant, a dense barrage of water arrows rained down like a rain of arrows, whistling incessantly.
However, a moment later, not even the skin on his body was broken.
Seeing that the fish that had surfaced were about to attack again, Bai Ye reached out and flipped his hand, and a transparent palm suddenly descended from the sky, instantly knocking out a group of them.
These fish are far too weak in combat; compared to this eerie, frigid lake, they are nowhere near as powerful.
But when he scooped the fish up, he discovered something unusual.
