Chapter 204 Wang Xiu: As Long as It's Big Enough, You Can Reach Places Others Can't (6300 words)_1
"Brother Zhang, what exactly is the situation with the God and Demon Murals?"
Seeing Chu You and the others stepping into the mist, Li Zuoyue casually draped his arm over Zhang Yuge's shoulder, his face full of confusion.
At these words, all eyes turned to Zhang Yuge, eager to hear his response.
The God and Demon Murals are exceedingly rare ancient relics that don't appear every time the Holy Realm opens. Even the exceptional prodigies present didn't know much about them. Zhang Yuge alone had personally experienced the marvels of the God and Demon Murals. If they could get some insights from him, perhaps they might gain an advantage in understanding the murals shortly.
"It's very mysterious! Within each mural lies a separate realm of painting and calligraphy, akin to a real world, accessible only to the Divine Soul..."
Zhang Yuge brushed off Li Zuoyue's presumptuous hand, his eyes twinkling with spiritual insight as he reminisced to Wang Xiu, "The worlds inside are magnificent and vast, almost as if a Supreme from the ancient eras captured their memories or certain moments in time within them. They seem to contain the essence of the world itself—the fundamental laws of the Dao in the form of runes. A cultivator's Divine Soul wanders within, and if one is lucky enough to capture a few runes and comprehend their mysteries, there's a chance to realize powerful Divine Skills!"
"Divine Skills?" Bei Tangfeng's eyes lit up, clearly intrigued.
"Yes! Those runes are remnants of formidable Divine Skills unique to the ancient era. They have now disintegrated into scattered runes but still contain the laws of the Dao! These runes are very powerful, surpassing many extraordinary methods of our time..."
As he spoke, Zhang Yuge suddenly raised his hand. His palm glowed with divine light, revealing an ancient Daoist Text. It was a rune unlike any known to them, infused with a sense of the ancient and the eternal, as if it had traveled across the river of time to appear before them. The Daoist Text spun quietly.
An invisible force in the world was stirred. An unimaginable destructive power roiled in the void, coalescing into a heavenly Divine Thunder that gathered above everyone's heads.
"What terrifying Divine Thunder!"
Bei Tangfeng's expression changed, his face growing solemn.
Li Zuoyue, Xiang Tiange, and the others instinctively tightened their grip on their Magical Treasures, mana coursing through their bodies. The lightning had not yet struck, but it filled them with a heavy sense of unease, as if they were facing a life-and-death crisis.
Ji Zidian lifted her head, her beautiful eyes slightly unfocused, sensing a power she deeply craved within that fearsome Thunder. If I could control such Thunder, the might of my Sacred Body would become even more formidable!
Luo Hongyi and Li Xuanqi stood at the forefront, their figures graceful and their eyebrows raised. Divine light coursed around their bodies, keeping the oppressive power of the Thunder at bay, yet their expressions turned serious.
The Daoist Text that Zhang Yuge demonstrated had not yet fully unveiled its might, yet it was already enough to make them feel a significant threat, almost comparable to the trump cards they held in reserve. Truly terrifying!
"Indeed, it's very powerful..." Wang Xiu said, gazing at the sky without skimping on his praise. "To comprehend such an incredible Divine Skill, you truly deserve your title as the Longhu Saint Heir!"
Hearing Wang Xiu's praise, Zhang Yuge scratched the back of his head and said, "Hahaha, big brother, stop it. You're making me blush!"
Li Xuanqi's eyes shone brightly. "Your ability to form the Seven-Colored Yuanying was due to this Daoist Text, wasn't it?"
"Ahem... you can't say that entirely. My own strength was almost there. This text just bridged the final, tiny gap!" Zhang Yuge said, managing to keep a straight face.
[DING!]
[Nearby bragging detected. Congratulations, Host! Mana +144!]
Previously in Vermilion Bird City, with guidance from Wang Xiu, Zhang Yuge had gained new insights into the Path of Thunder and made rapid progress. But even with that, he was still a long way from condensing such a rare Seven-Colored Yuanying. This mysterious, Thunder-attribute Daoist Text had indeed played a significant role.
Everyone present was a top-tier prodigy. Although they might not fully understand each other's strengths, they had a rough idea. This was especially true after Zhang Yuge's great battle with Ji Zidian in Vermilion Bird City, where he had revealed many of his techniques. Hearing his claim now, they naturally didn't believe him, and their expressions all turned awkward.
Zhang Yuge's face reddened slightly. He coughed to switch topics and said, "Actually, this is nothing special. Legend has it that if one can fully comprehend the runes contained in these God and Demon Murals, one might realize a supreme law no weaker than the Imperial Scriptures!"
His words sparked amazement among everyone. The Imperial Scriptures were synonymous with the strongest heritage in the Cultivation World. Such a scripture could only be passed down within an Immortal Sect that was exceptionally glorious and had produced a Great Emperor who once suppressed an entire era. Even among the most powerful Immortal Sects in Nanzhou, only a handful of people were qualified to study the Imperial Scriptures.
If one could really comprehend a set of Imperial Scriptures from these God and Demon Murals, what an astonishing feat would that be? It would be enough to significantly increase an Immortal Sect's foundation and alter the very landscape of the Cultivation World.
"That's just a legend. No one has ever actually comprehended them. Even if someone did, they would have to be a once-in-an-eon prodigy with the makings of a Great Emperor. Otherwise... on what grounds could anyone comprehend a supreme law comparable to the Imperial Scriptures?"
Qingzhou scoffed, his arms crossed as he leaned against a rock. With a childlike appearance, he blew a fringe of hair off his forehead. He saw things very clearly. All the opportunities in this world seemed available to those destined for them, but in reality, without the strength to match, they couldn't be kept even if obtained. If one could comprehend the Imperial Scriptures, it meant that individual already possessed the potential to become a Great Emperor. Such a person, even without this particular opportunity, would still achieve remarkable things in the future.
