Like the Dao itself has no name, yet we force it to be called Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The True Person speaks wisely. Can this Daoist glyph observe spiritual energy changes and detect its flow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you tell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong smiled: “Daoist glyphs are external manifestations of the Great Dao’s rules, hence they follow patterns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take this glyph: though it appears seamless, it is composed of three parts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This section represents observation, this section represents spiritual energy, and this section represents feedback.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zuo Yuanzong spoke, he pointed to the corresponding sections of the glyph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combined, even if I’ve never seen this glyph before, I can grasp its general meaning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, this glyph’s composition is imperfect; many areas still have room for improvement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For instance, here—if the stroke’s angle shifts by a single gu, the spiritual energy flows more smoothly, extending the detection range.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zuo Yuanzong explained, Fang Shi’s understanding of Daoist glyphs surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many previously unclear points instantly became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was aided by Fang Shi’s practical experience—many things were already just one step away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After acquiring the theory, Fang Shi’s glyph proficiency rose rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through continuous study, your Spell Identification has improved: 13→14.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through continuous study, your Knowledge of Daoist Glyphs has improved: 1→2.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through continuous study, your Knowledge of Daoist Glyphs has improved: 5→6.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through continuous study, your Spell Identification has improved: 15→16.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through continuous study, you have attained Spell Stabilization I.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spell Stabilization I: Your understanding of spells has reached a certain level. You can render certain spells permanent; the cost varies by spell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong was worth every ounce of gold—he covered nearly all known Daoist glyph knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to Fang Shi’s sharp intellect, he grasped everything instantly and could extrapolate beyond it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a day and night of study, Fang Shi had drained Zuo Yuanzong completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deeper knowledge was no longer part of ordinary paid services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without immense benefit, cultivators would never reveal their core transmissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Zuo, I now understand the basic knowledge of Daoist glyphs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have one question: the first glyph I showed you is inscribed within my body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What effect does this have on cultivators? Why have I never noticed other cultivators inscribing glyphs on themselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong’s face showed surprise—no wonder he was a Spirit Perception cultivator among hermits; he dared to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Fang, didn’t you feel any conflict between the inscribed glyph and your own cultivation method?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would greatly hinder your cultivation progress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fang Shi fell silent, recalling that aside from his serious training at the Heavenly Sword Sect,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the rest of the time, his meditation and Qi Refining merely restored magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His magic power increased through leveling up—he had never noticed this factor at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong added: “Of course, due to differences in cultivation methods, some Daoist glyphs do not conflict with one’s practice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, major clans all possess inherited Daoist glyphs, inscribed on the body to enhance their abilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For combat, alchemy, artifact forging—each serves a different function.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be in this situation: you accidentally discovered a glyph that does not conflict with your cultivation method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a profound blessing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zuo Yuanzong’s exclamation, Fang Shi did not know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t say, “You all have to laboriously meditate and refine Qi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while I don’t need to at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suppose someone doesn’t care about cultivation advancement—what if he inscribed countless glyphs into his body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not well at all. The more glyphs, the greater the conflict with one’s method—not only will cultivation stagnate, but it may ultimately cost your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi pondered and said: “Then, Master Zuo, do you have a Daoist glyph that enhances physical strength? A good one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do have one—but Master Fang, why do you want such a glyph? Do you intend to inscribe it into your body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong was no fool; he deduced from Fang Shi’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi admitted openly: “Yes, I intend to inscribe it into my body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why take such a risk? If the conflict is severe, you’ll lose your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Zuo, peace does not exist now. I have duties—I must eliminate the infected. You know the danger of the Demonic Deities; I must maximize my strength now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong bowed deeply: “Master, your righteousness surpasses us all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi said: “Our roles differ; no need to dwell on it. We all merely seek survival.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Yuanzong sighed: “Indeed, merely survival. I was unlucky—just arrived in Yizhou and got trapped here. I’d have been better off accepting my friend’s invitation to Bingzhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi smiled: “I’m different—I’m from Yizhou. There’s nowhere to flee. I can only fight desperately for survival.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I shall give you this glyph, Master, as a reward for your righteous act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But be careful—do not force the inscription. Risk your life at your peril.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master Zuo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi returned to his room and recalled the glyph Zuo Yuanzong had given him—a deep joy stirred within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Gravity Daoist Glyph, capable of drawing upon the power of earth and mountains to amplify one’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend said its ultimate form granted the wielder the strength of Mount Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not metaphorical—the true strength of Mount Tai: 550 billion tons of ultimate force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Fang Shi’s glyph was an ultra-simplified version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inscribed into his body, it only doubled his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provided it did not conflict with his own cultivation method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, it was less convenient than the Strength Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least the Strength Spell had no such thing as conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Shi could not find a mage who could cast the Strength Spell for him at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, once a glyph was inscribed, it was essentially a permanent spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it wasn’t removed, it lasted a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Fang Shi, seated cross-legged with closed eyes, opened them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gravity Daoist Glyph I: The bearer can draw upon the power of earth and mountains, gaining a +5 bonus to strength attribute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the glyph inscribed, the Giant’s Belt had fulfilled its purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi’s strength now reached 27 points, combined with his Extraordinary Strength and Qi Refining rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed ten tons of brute force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Fang Shi had one doubt—he found inscribing glyphs into his body astonishingly easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No conflict seemed to exist; the process was unnaturally smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Fang Shi had assumed he simply hadn’t noticed the conflict from the spiritual energy detection glyph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, after careful testing, he discovered there was no conflict at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi knew this phenomenon was abnormal—not explainable by the Heavenly Sword Sect’s method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t the Heavenly Sword Sect’s artifact cultivators use Daoist glyphs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have. Then why didn’t they use glyphs to enhance their strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only because they couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps Fang Shi’s Heavenly Sword Sect inheritance was incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi’s Heavenly Sword Sect method consisted only of the two foundational texts: The Sword Art and The Sword Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No auxiliary cultivation methods at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Methods to enhance the Golden Core might exist in the Heavenly Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi simply hadn’t obtained them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one inscribed glyphs as effortlessly as he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even tried other types of glyphs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All merged with him like water and milk—no conflict whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is simply unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianjian Sect’s cultivation techniques could never achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it must be a physical constitution issue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shi stared deeply at the Origin Resistance I on his attribute panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the object of his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the talent that had most drastically altered his physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he still couldn’t engrave two at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This talent’s ability is still limited!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to find an opportunity to upgrade it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1349,"2026-06-20T12:43:33.559Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","841806ce5f011d7f3c6a3f06248200a0b431ef65fb062632317a5a64e1839c13","starting-from-the-apocalypse-i-alone-severed-ete-chapter-96","starting-from-the-apocalypse-i-alone-severed-ete-chapter-94",109,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-the-apocalypse-i-alone-severed-ete-cover.jpg"]
