Chapter 137: Original True Explanation

After the green-scaled bird underwent atavism, the runes that appeared within its body already contained some of the inheritance of the ancient demonic birds.

That crescent moon, a palace, and a laurel tree were condensed by Fang Yu and transformed into a great array. Although it had entered his body, it could still slowly absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, causing the power of this array to continuously increase.

For array supernatural powers, having runes alone is not enough; one must also have matching spiritual energy to absorb and condense, which is the only way to make the power of the array grow stronger and stronger.

This is the reason why arrays in the World of Immortality are so formidable. The more arrays one cultivates, the greater one's own power becomes. For instance, the supreme supernatural power, Vast Heaven True Fire—in order to cultivate this supreme power, Fang Yu absorbed an unknown amount of fire essence. If not for the fact that the Fire Domain in the Shrouding the Heavens world possessed nearly infinite fire essence, he would likely have needed over a hundred years to cultivate the Vast Heaven True Fire to great success.

Now that Fang Yu has obtained a supernatural power from the green-scaled bird's atavism, although it is at most comparable to a great supernatural power, its ability to automatically absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth can also allow Fang Yu's power to gradually increase.

"Young Master Fang, are these the original runes within Zi Yun?"

The old village chief, Shi Shi Yunfeng, watched with burning eyes and joy on his face. The three little birds were close to the people of Stone Village, and every one of them could go and contemplate the original runes within the birds' bodies. However, those runes were too complex, and apart from Little One, almost no other children in the village could understand them.

This had to be called a regret.

Yet this Young Master Fang, the teacher in the village, was able to understand them with ease.

"These are indeed the original runes of the little birds. However, it is truly too difficult for these children to comprehend them. First, cultivate the physical body to a certain level, then develop mental strength and memory; once that is done, understanding these runes will not be a difficult task."

Fang Yu spoke.

Original runes are incredibly profound things. In the World of Immortality, they are equivalent to supernatural powers. If a person has not yet cultivated to the Supernatural Realm and has not yet developed their brain, it would be a wonder if they didn't vomit blood from trying to look at original runes.

The complexity of each rune is simply not something a child in the Mortal Body Realm can look at casually; one must raise their cultivation realm before they can view them.

"So that is how it is."

The old village chief suddenly understood. With a thought, he spoke, "There is another piece of bone in my village. I wonder if Young Master Fang can discern the mysteries within it."

He carefully took out a piece of bone. This bone was glistening white and lustrous, like a piece of mutton-fat jade the size of a palm, indescribably crystalline, pure white, and translucent.

Although it was not large, it was densely carved with countless runes. Vaguely, it seemed as if the chanting of gods and demons from all heavens could be heard, shaking one's heart and soul with astonishment.

This was shocking; it was clearly just a piece of bone, yet the moment it was revealed, it was this astonishing.

"This bone contains mysterious demonic power. We have also observed this bone, but no one could understand it. If one looks at it for too long, one will also vomit blood."

The old village chief spoke with great regret.

"Let me see. It shouldn't be a difficult problem."

Fang Yu moved his mind, and the bone floated before him. The secrets of the bone manifested within his spiritual sense. It possessed the essence of runes, as well as carvings of ancient fierce beasts and gods locked in battle; everything started from the original source.

The first set of runes recorded a Golden-Winged Great Peng battling a god. Countless runes appeared on the bone; although the carvings were small, they were very realistic.

However, if an ordinary person were to look at it, they would be unable to see that this was a Golden-Winged Great Peng battling a god. They would only see incredibly complex runes, dense and messy ghost-drawings, thousands of times harder to learn than the most difficult runes in the world. After looking for a few moments, they would want to stomp their feet, beat their chests, howl, cry, and even vomit blood.

Because it was too difficult to look at.

But in Fang Yu's eyes, this image revealed its original essence. A golden Great Peng emitted a golden luster, its entire body brilliant, and then it began to manifest within the bone fragment. Its whole body looked as if it were cast from gold, lifelike, and it was actually about to fly out.

It was locked in a fierce battle with a god, both of them wounded. The Golden-Winged Great Peng was stained with the god's blood, as well as its own. Its golden wings covered the sky, incomparably sharp.

It did not record a heaven-shaking precious technique, but rather the key moments of this battle; it was truly of infinite profundity.

"It can be called a Record of War Gods; it is quite good."

Fang Yu moved his mind, and a wisp of gang qi flew out from his body, transforming into yin and yang energy. The yin energy shifted and transformed into a Golden-Winged Great Peng, while the yang energy shifted and transformed into a god. Immediately, in the void, the two began to fight, and the battle was extremely intense.

"It is actually such a thing? A Golden-Winged Great Peng battling a god—how many people in this world could ever see this? This is simply a supreme treasure that all experts and major races dream of obtaining."

Shi Shi Yunfeng was shocked, seemingly not expecting that the core mystery of those runes was such a great battle.

This was too precious.

If word got out, who knows how many ancient races would come to kill and seize this bone.

If the experts of those races could comprehend even a tiny bit from the battle between the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the god, it would be enough to raise their strength to a higher level.

To think that Willow Deity had carried such a thing when she descended upon Stone Village all those years ago.

Shi Shi Yunfeng recalled that year, that night of lightning and thunder, torrential rain, and howling winds. Many great mountains were split by lightning. The great willow tree was bathed in a sea of lightning, fighting against a powerful existence. In the end, its body was charred black as it descended from the sky. In addition, there was a ball of light, wrapping this glistening white bone, which fell into Stone Village together with it.

This bone was brought by the sacrificial spirit. They had contemplated it many times, yet still had no harvest, but he had not expected that today, this Young Master Fang would be able to comprehend it.

"If you want to comprehend it, it is not an easy matter. You need to polish your physical body to the extreme and raise your mental strength. Perhaps with a physical strength of one hundred thousand jin, plus sufficiently powerful mental strength, then you can go and comprehend it."

Fang Yu's gaze was fixed on this bone, feeling very interested, because this bone was called the Original True Explanation. It was one of the most powerful scriptures in the entire Perfect World. The one before him now was only the upper volume of the Original True Explanation, while the other part of the Original True Explanation recorded scriptures at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

If such a scripture could be obtained now, it would certainly be of great benefit to him. However, it was a pity that that part of the Original True Explanation could not be obtained at this time.

Being able to obtain the first volume was actually not bad either.

The Original True Explanation is accustomed to explaining things through battle examples, going from the shallow to the deep, and from the deep to the shallow, touching upon an unfathomable world. This also had many benefits for Fang Yu's physical body and supernatural powers.

Thus, in this place of Stone Village, Fang Yu began to contemplate the Original True Explanation again.
