Chapter 1508: T0-Level Ultimate Technique! The Eternal Green Emperor Scripture!

Hum—

The first emerald cryptic pattern lit up in Xu Jingming's mind.

The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand pattern structure, at the instant the Source Point injected, was peeled apart layer by layer by an invisible hand.

【Source Point - 100,000!】

【First Layer cryptic pattern mastered!】

In an instant, Xu Jingming "understood" the meaning represented by this cryptic pattern.

It was a fragment of the law governing life's origin, the sprouting of grass and trees.

Simple, clear, thorough.

A single Layer that once required elf bloodline resonance and years, even decades, to barely comprehend.

Under the brute-force cracking of the system's point allocation, it took no more than a breath.

Xu Jingming did not pause for a moment; his consciousness slashed like a blade toward the second cryptic pattern.

【Source Point - 200,000!】

【Second Layer cryptic pattern mastered!】

The second cryptic pattern represented the law of grass and trees growing, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

【Source Point - 300,000!】

【Third Layer cryptic pattern mastered!】

【Source Point - 400,000!】

【Fourth Layer cryptic pattern mastered!】

Source Points drained like flowing water.

100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000......

Each time a Layer was cracked, the required Source Points increased dramatically.

But Xu Jingming didn't care at all!

This consumption didn't even amount to a drop in the ocean!

Time lost all meaning within his consciousness.

Xu Jingming became an tireless decoder.

Brutally dismantling layer after layer of ancient, obscure inherited cryptic patterns.

Fifth Layer, Tenth Layer, Twentieth Layer, Thirtieth Layer......

A sacred relic passed down through generations that once required elf prodigies to spend a lifetime just to glimpse a fraction.

Before Xu Jingming, it was as simple and understandable as elementary school math problems.

He could even clearly sense it.

As the cryptic patterns were continuously cracked, something deep within the sacred stele seemed to be stirred.

It was a dormant spirituality, now slowly awakening.

Outside, the Sacred Stele Plaza.

More than half an hour had passed.

The surrounding elf prodigies wore impatience and mockery on their faces.

"Half an hour already, and not a single movement."

"As expected, outsiders are outsiders—how easily can bloodline barriers be broken?"

Whispered murmurs spread through the crowd like mosquitoes.

Yueying furrowed her brows, her gray-stone eyes fixed unblinkingly on Xu Jingming's upright back.

Daela stood quietly beside her, her face expressionless, yet sighing inwardly.

"The Sacred Stele's inheritance ultimately recognizes only elf bloodline.

No matter how gifted Prince Xu is, he cannot cross this heavenly chasm.

The Emperor's move... is perfectly seamless."

She could already foresee the outcome.

Xu Jingming returns empty-handed; the Emperor then, under the pretext of failing the trial, politely refuses to exchange the Eternal Core.

Though cold, it was reasonable.

Within the consciousness sea.

Xu Jingming had cracked the Eightieth Layer cryptic pattern!

【Source Point - 10,000,000!】

【Eightieth Layer cryptic pattern mastered!】

The Source Points consumed at this point were already terrifying, and the complexity of the cryptic patterns had reached an appalling level.

Each pattern seemed to carry the entire lifetime's cultivation essence of an elf elder.

Under normal circumstances, even with the purest Silver Moon bloodline, it would take countless years!

But for Xu Jingming, it was merely a string of numbers flickering.

Eighty-first Layer, eighty-second Layer, eighty-third Layer......

The instant the eighty-fourth cryptic pattern was fully cracked.

"Hum!!!"

The entire consciousness sea shuddered violently!

All the cracked emerald cryptic patterns, as if summoned, instantly collapsed and restructured toward the center!

A majestic, ancient voice, as if echoing from the end of time and space, resonated directly within Xu Jingming's soul:

【All eighty-four layers of inherited secret runes have been deciphered.】

【Qualification confirmed. Highest-level secret technique inheritance activated.】

Boom!!!

Countless emerald radiance exploded within his consciousness.

Forming a vast scripture, deeply etched into Xu Jingming's deepest memory.

The Eternal Green Emperor Scripture!

T0-level secret technique!

"What is this?!"

Xu Jingming's heart leapt with joy.

His spirit sank in, instantly comprehending the terrifying nature of this secret technique.

The Eternal Green Emperor Scripture was created by an ancient supreme ruler of the elf race, titled "Green Emperor."

It is a body-strengthening art.

When perfected, one can transform into the Eternal Green Emperor.

Beyond enhancing the physique, its core effect is the cultivation of an "Eternal Seed."

Once planted, even if the flesh and soul are utterly destroyed, one may still be reborn through it.

"Even if flesh and soul are destroyed, one can still be reborn?"

Xu Jingming drew a sharp breath.

Against heaven!

Absolutely an against-heaven-level secret technique!

But...

Xu Jingming soon discovered a fatal limitation.

This body-strengthening art can be practiced only by those with Silver Moon bloodline.

"What a pity..."

Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

Such an against-heaven technique, yet it was beyond his reach.

Yet he himself already practiced the T0-level body-strengthening art, the Star Core Lei Gang Body.

He could not possibly switch to another body-strengthening art.

Moreover, his original goal in this journey was the Eternal Core; the Eternal Green Emperor Scripture was merely an unexpected gain.

Though he could not practice it himself, giving it to Yueying would be a fine choice.

At the very moment Xu Jingming fully received the inheritance of the Eternal Green Emperor Scripture.

Outside, the Sacred Stele Plaza.

Hum!!!

The Sacred Stele, silent for nearly an hour, suddenly trembled!

The emerald vines entwined around the stele seemed instantly infused with life.

Leaves unfurled, veins glowing with swift light!

"What's happening?!"

"The Sacred Stele has reacted!"

All elf prodigies around simultaneously widened their eyes.

The next instant—

Shi! Shi! Shi!

One by one, soft green lights burst forth from the stele's surface.

At first only scattered dots, yet in the blink of an eye they became like an inverted galaxy—hundreds, thousands of green lights intertwining and rising!

"Green light! It's a sign the inheritance has been triggered!"

"But how can there be so much green light?!"

Someone cried out.

In the past, when elf prodigies meditated upon the Sacred Stele and triggered an inheritance,

the stele's surface would at most glow with a few faint rays, flickering like fireflies.

Who had ever seen such a sight?

It was as if the entire Sacred Stele were coming alive!

Yet even more astonishing was yet to come.

Boom—!!!

Without warning, all the green lights collapsed inward violently.

Condensing into a radiant emerald column over a hundred meters in diameter, shooting straight up from the stele's peak!

The column pierced the heavens, illuminating the entire Sacred City as if carved from jade.

A vast surge of life energy swept across all directions like a tidal wave!

Elf prodigies nearby felt every pore of their bodies open wide; their inner life essence stirred involuntarily!

"What is this commotion?!"

"I once witnessed Princess Diana awaken a T4-level ultimate technique—the stele only glowed with a faint green halo. How is this emerald column possible?!"

"I don't know what this column is, but I know this human has triggered something extraordinary!"

"..."

The entire square erupted in chaos!

Every elven prodigy's face was filled with disbelief.

Shouts and murmurs merged into a deafening uproar.

"This is...?!"

Yueying's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at this scene in astonishment.

On Daela's usually serene face, not a trace of calm remained:

"This light pillar! The phenomenon said to appear only when a T0-level ultimate technique is awakened—but how is this possible?!"

She whirled her head toward Xu Jingming, still standing motionless before the stele, his right hand pressed against it.

That tall, spear-like back, bathed in the green light pillar, now seemed ethereal and unreal.

"An outsider... awakened a T0-level legacy?"

Daela felt her entire worldview shattered like glass.
