Chapter 1724: Comprehending the Divine Script

Boom!

The next instant, the old man waved his hand toward Luo Tian, and soul power pressed toward Luo Tian.

However...

Whoosh!

A murderous aura suddenly rose from not far away, enveloping the old man.

"Hm?"

Locked by this murderous aura, the old man's body suddenly stiffened.

He slowly turned his head, looked at another red-clothed old man in the distance, and said with a trembling voice, "Elder Qin, I'm sorry... I was just impulsive."

That Elder Qin snorted coldly and said, "Before the Divine Script, one must not use force; this is an iron rule! This time, considering you haven't made a move yet, I won't touch you, but next time, if you dare to commit it again, I will not show mercy, and I will never allow you to come and comprehend the Divine Script again!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The old man's face turned iron-blue, and he sat back down obediently.

And at this moment, Elder Qin looked at Luo Tian and said, "New kid, for the first time comprehending the Divine Script, just watch quietly; comprehend as much as you can."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian nodded slightly, found a spot, sat down cross-legged, and looked toward the Divine Script.

And just at this moment, beside Luo Tian, a gray-robed old man suddenly said in a low voice, "Newcomer, what is your name?"

Luo Tian turned his head to look at him and said, "Luo Tian."

The old man nodded and said, "I am Geng Ping. I have been in seclusion in this secret realm for more than three thousand years. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian was stunned and said, "Three thousand years? Have you really stayed for so long?"

Geng Ping immediately smiled and said, "Yes, isn't it impressive?"

Luo Tian pinched his nose, nodded, and said, "In such a smelly place, you can endure for three thousand years; that is truly impressive!"

Geng Ping's smile immediately stiffened on his face, then his face turned black, and he said, "You don't know anything. The Ancient Land of the Firmament—once you go out, you don't know if there will be another chance to enter! To comprehend the Divine Script, if you can't even endure this bit of suffering, then what's the point of mixing in?"

After finishing, Geng Ping changed to a smiling face again and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. As your senior, let me introduce you to the common knowledge of the Ancient Land of the Firmament!"

As he spoke, he pointed to Elder Qin, who had just spoken, and said to Luo Tian, "That Elder Qin is one of the nine Supreme Elders of our Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly. His soul power and Array Dao rank first among the nine Supreme Elders! Moreover, he has been guarding the Ancient Land of the Firmament all year round, comprehending the Divine Script; he has the most comprehension of the Divine Script and is considered the person closest to a Creation Immortal Array Master!"

"Therefore, in terms of strength and status, he is the strongest. You kid, remember, don't provoke him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian nodded.

Geng Ping continued, "Also, the fellow who just wanted to make a move on you—don't look at him as inconspicuous; he is actually an extraordinary figure!"

Luo Tian asked curiously, "Oh? What kind of figure?"

Geng Ping lowered his voice and said, "That one is the Ancestor of the Absolute Heart Array Sect of the Qingyun Domain. He broke through to a Grade Nine immortal array master at the age of three thousand, shocking the world! But since then, he has made no progress!"

"Later, he sold his life for the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly for ten thousand years to earn the opportunity to enter the Ancient Land of the Firmament to comprehend it once! And this comprehension has been another ten thousand years!"

Luo Tian understood immediately and said, "Smelled for ten thousand years, no wonder his brain isn't working well."

Geng Ping's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

"Why do you always care about these trivial details? Forget it, let me introduce you to this Divine Script!"

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand at the Divine Script on the giant rock and said, "This is the Divine Script of the Ancient Land of the Firmament, the source of the Creation Immortal Array! However, although this thing is good, when comprehending it, remember to observe it with soul power and be extremely cautious!"

Luo Tian was astonished and said, "Why?"

Geng Ping's expression was solemn as he said, "The power of the Divine Script cannot be offended! If you observe the Divine Script, you will definitely suffer a backlash! Ordinary people, if they rashly use soul power to contact the Divine Script, they will instantly go insane!"

"Only we immortal array masters, who possess powerful soul power, can resist it slightly!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the Ancestor of the Absolute Heart Array Sect and said, "For example, him—his current soul power can only contact the Divine Script with soul power for about thirty breaths a day. Apart from that, he can only look with his eyes or guess slowly."

Then, he pointed to another old man not far away and said, "That fellow, his strength is much stronger; he can observe with soul power for one hundred breaths a day!"

After finishing, he pointed to Elder Qin and said, "I told you earlier, Elder Qin's strength is the strongest among us; he can observe for one hour a day!"

Luo Tian was astonished and said, "The difference is this much?"

Geng Ping nodded and said, "Yes, that's why we say he is the one closest to a Creation Immortal Array Master!"

Luo Tian was thoughtful, then looked at Geng Ping and said, "And you?"

Upon hearing this, Geng Ping immediately revealed a proud look and said, "I'm not bragging to you, I can observe for one hundred and sixty breaths a day!"

Luo Tian frowned and said, "That's not very impressive."

Geng Ping immediately couldn't take it and said angrily, "What do you know? One hundred and sixty breaths is already heaven-defying, okay? A newcomer like you, I estimate you can't even persist for three breaths!"

Luo Tian blinked and said nothing.

And at this moment, Geng Ping sat down and said, "However, I am a warm-hearted person! To help a newcomer like you make progress early, I can pass on my insights from these few thousand years to you!"

As he spoke, he took a book from his bosom and handed it to Luo Tian.

"This is my three thousand years of comprehension experience, which is priceless. If it were spread outside, it would definitely set off a bloody storm! Today, let's be friends; I only charge you one Creation Immortal Artifact, and this book is yours. Is it worth it?"

After finishing, he looked at Luo Tian with burning eyes.

Luo Tian glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "I don't want it."

"Hm? You don't even want this? Then... I'll lower the price, one Grade Nine immortal artifact, how about that?" he asked, looking at Luo Tian.

Luo Tian continued to shake his head.

Geng Ping gritted his teeth and said, "Grade Seven immortal artifact! Grade Seven immortal artifact, that should be no problem, right? This is my Divine Script comprehension experience; this won't work? One book, letting you avoid three thousand years of detours!"

Luo Tian simply ignored him and turned to look at the Divine Script on the giant rock.

Geng Ping snorted and said, "Forget it, you want to hit a wall yourself, you can't blame me. Anyway, you'll know after trying once."

And at this moment, Luo Tian's soul power slowly flowed out.

"Hm? This... what pure soul power!"

Geng Ping beside him took a look, his eyes widened, and the look he gave Luo Tian changed.

Everyone present was an immortal array master, and the moment Luo Tian released his soul power, they all turned to look.

"Oh? This newcomer... actually has such soul power?" Even Elder Qin revealed a look of surprise.

He did not know that the bit of soul power Luo Tian released was just a probe, not even one in ten thousand.
