Within the Engraving Tower Lin Xuan was moved by the vision before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This must be a scene from the past, reappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully feel their inscription patterns and compare them with your own,” Lord of Wine communicated telepathically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan intently felt and compared them against his own knowledge, reaping significant benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that his Soul Power had become much purer, not at all like it had just been enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a wonderful feeling,” Lin Xuan rejoiced in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the effect became very minor, he finally stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside other benefits, just the tempering of the Soul Power alone made his trip worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again towards the walls around him, Lin Xuan carefully contemplated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engravings were quite simple and not complex, yet Lin Xuan sensed an inexplicable aura from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if each stroke contained the true essence of inscriptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xuan made a decision—he would not venture to the higher floors but instead resolve to meticulously study the inscription patterns on the First Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, these patterns seemed simple, yet they contained profound mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his Soul Power had improved substantially, covering what would take others decades or even centuries, and he needed to thoroughly consolidate this gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha, not bad!” Lord of Wine nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The resolve you show in forsaking the upper levels to solely study the First Level is a boldness others likely do not possess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, all the talents entering the Engraving Tower couldn’t wait to rush to higher floors, and none had stayed so long on the First Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention comprehend anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you thoroughly grasp the essence of the First Level, the benefits are immense, far surpassing anything on the higher levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lord of Wine’s support, Lin Xuan felt even more confident and focused entirely on his comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great truths are always simple,” a saying applicable to any form of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From these patterns, Lin Xuan learned much, clarifying many aspects that had been vague in his daily understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the more he delved into it, the more unfathomable the path of inscriptions seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he imprinted all the surrounding patterns into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day hurriedly passed, and it was almost time to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Ye and Yu Fei had both come down from the higher floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both wore expressions of excitement, obviously having gained considerable benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were stunned when they saw Lin Xuan, who remained seated in meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy, he couldn’t have stayed on the First Layer the entire time, could he?” Yu Fei said, baffled, while Zi Ye just sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They paid no attention to Lin Xuan, nor did they notice the patterns on the walls around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, what good could the First Level possibly hold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour, the Stone Gate opened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Ye rushed out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fei quickly followed, with Lin Xuan being the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly stood up, bowed to the surroundings, and then walked towards the Stone Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four patterns flashed with light and entered his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan felt invigorated, sensing he could easily discern those four engraved patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subduing his excitement, Lin Xuan walked out of the Stone Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loud laughter emanated from the Purple Extreme Demon Palace, presumably from gaining desirable items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rain Country area was also filled with joyous voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Ye had reached the Eighth Floor, and Yu Fei had reached the Seventh Floor; both had obtained valuable things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xuan, which floor did you reach?” Elder Song asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, disciples from the other two countries pricked up their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, I originally thought he was some genius, but now it seems, he is merely a fool!” Zi Ye sneered, “The genius of your Xia Country actually stayed on the First Level for a whole day, how ridiculous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” The crowd was stunned, all turning their eyes to Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many wore sneers, while others were puzzled, as in their view, Lin Xuan wouldn’t commit such a foolish act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song and Elder Gu were also full of surprise, looking at Lin Xuan with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn’t want to say much, if they misunderstood, then he would let them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In doing so, he could avoid much trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just consolidating my Soul Power, it took some time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Engraving Tower, how many treasures were inside, and just like that, Lin Xuan had wasted them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song and Elder Gu sighed and said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest for a while, and return tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People dispersed, preparing for the journey back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, Lin Xuan found the two elders and requested some Jade Scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xuan, what do you need this for?” Elder Song and Elder Gu were puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, holding the Jade Scroll, duplicated a pattern from the wall into it, handing it to the two elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In these days, I’ve been under your care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here are some inscription engravings from the Engraving Tower; they might be useful to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song and Elder Gu were slightly surprised; they did not expect Lin Xuan to give them something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using their Soul Power to probe, they saw a very simple inscription pattern, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…” Elder Song, being a Third-grade Rune Master with far greater insight than ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he couldn’t understand it at the moment, he knew from many years of experience that this was not as simple as it looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you’ve gained more than we thought; now I can rest assured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song and Elder Gu put away the Jade Scrolls, smiling at Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan scratched his head with a smile; this was only one of the engravings, and not even one of the four peculiar ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give them; there was an inexplicable force preventing Lin Xuan from duplicating those four patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elders, I plan to travel and won’t return with the group tomorrow,” Lin Xuan said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to cultivate and increase his strength, preparing for a battle with Lin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the main reason was that he held a map pointing to a place not far from here, which he wanted to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine; Xia Country is too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your talent, you’ll shine even in the Tian Nan Domain,” Elder Song, with his exceptional insight, didn’t stop Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Deacon Token of the Engraving Alliance; if you encounter difficulties, go to the Engraving Alliance!” Elder Song said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Elder Gu also took out a palm-sized nameplate: “This is the Elder Token from Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now, you are an elder there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan took the tokens and put them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elders, farewell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding goodbye to the elders, Lin Xuan approached Weiwei again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly handing over the Jade Scroll, Lin Xuan smiled, “Don’t show it to others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weiwei was startled, then nodded, putting the Jade Scroll away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care; if fate allows, we’ll meet again.” Lin Xuan waved his hand, disappearing into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care!” Weiwei nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew with Lin Xuan’s talent, he would go far, while she could only desperately chase after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will we meet again…” Weiwei gripped the Jade Scroll tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to him, his three Jade Scrolls would later produce three Engraving Masters, renowned in Xia Country and beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, that was a story for another time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was blurred; faint moonlight scattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the tattered map, with many red dots, and some were near the Green Water Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","06a9c63d97fdb6bb25d469d10dbe93b095531068a6b0ac17ac06bf2d40d3617f","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-245","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-243",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
