Chapter 92: Engraving the Immortal Dao Scripture, Middle Stage of the Mingwen Jing

"Are you going to pass the Immortal Dao Scripture to me?"

Mengchen was stunned, the Tianhu Shaonü beside him nearly dropped her jaw in shock, and as for Heizi, who had been silently contemplating, he suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, unable to remain calm.

Although they each did not know what the Immortal Dao Scripture was or exactly how powerful it was, as the Saintess of the Heaven-Severing Sect, the Tianhu Shaonü, and as a cub of the Jiuyou Ao, Heizi naturally knew a little about the so-called Ancient Monk Lineage.

The Ancient Monk Lineage had once produced existences at the Immortal King level; its strongest inheritance, needless to say, was certainly no ordinary object, but must be a supreme Immortal Dao Scripture.

"To call it 'passing' is not quite right; with your current strength, you do not possess the qualifications to cultivate it at all," the Vajra Pestle replied.

"Huh!" Mengchen was dumbfounded after hearing this. Since it couldn't be cultivated, why bring it up now? To tease him?

The Tianhu Shaonü, who had been shocked, was stifling a laugh, barely holding it in.

Heizi didn't care much either; he had thought Mengchen was going to cultivate the Immortal Dao Scripture, but such a result came out instead—it really made one want to laugh and cry at the same time...

The Vajra Pestle spoke again faintly: "Although you cannot cultivate it, you can use its runes to engrave, thereby entering the Mingwen Jing. Having the Immortal Dao Scripture runes engraved into your body will provide an incomparable improvement to your physical body, and your future achievements will be limitless."

It's always like this, always creating such psychological gaps; couldn't it just finish saying everything at once! Mengchen complained secretly in his heart.

The expressions of the Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi beside him also changed in an instant; fortunately, they had held back their laughter just now, otherwise, they would have been slapping their own faces.

Although Mengchen could not truly cultivate this scripture at present, even if it were just engraving the runes of that Immortal Dao Scripture, the benefits would still be immeasurable.

Dare one ask, in this world, who could have such an astonishing encounter?

"Come, I will pass the runes to you now!"

Having said that! The Vajra Pestle shone brilliantly in an instant, golden light radiant and dazzling the world, and a string of crimson-gold runes flew out from within, sinking into the center of Mengchen's brow.

Mengchen immediately gathered his spirit and calmed his breath, sinking his mind into his body to carefully sense the runes rushing into his brow.

"Boom..."

In an instant, Mengchen's entire body erupted with brilliant crimson-gold divine radiance, forming a terrifying wave of Divine Power, within which sheets of crimson-gold runes surged, swirling around him as the center.

Following this, one by one, the crimson-gold runes seemed to be summoned amidst the surge, attaching themselves to the surface of his body, beginning to arrange themselves in an orderly fashion on his skin, thereby bit by bit forming clear lines.

What was visible to the naked eye was merely the appearance on the surface of his body.

In reality, at this moment, inside his body, just like on the surface, every inch of flesh, bone, and internal organ was the same; all had these kinds of lines, which were being engraved and outlined to completion step by step.

As time passed, finally reaching the end, his internal organs and flesh were all covered in these clear lines, which had been fully engraved and outlined; these lines were all composed of rune engravings.

Once the engraving was complete, in an instant, all the runes flashed together, as if severing some kind of shackle that imprisoned the physical body, raising it to a higher level.

"Boom!"

A loud sound erupted from within his body; an invisible shackle was severed. He had succeeded. The engraved runes exerted force together, allowing him to easily step into the Mingwen Jing.

In just this fleeting moment, his entire person became completely different, his aura instantly becoming more than twice as strong.

He had only just broken through, yet such a heaven-defying change had occurred.

This change left the Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi beside him shocked beyond measure.

This was simply too heaven-defying; he hadn't expected that merely engraving the Immortal Dao Scripture runes would be so terrifying. If he were to truly cultivate it, how would that be described? At this moment, Mengchen was surrounded by brilliant crimson-gold radiance; he slowly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with crimson-gold runes, as if condensing the most fundamental rules and order of Heaven and Earth to form his own power.

Under the shocked gazes of the Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi, he took out two Spirit Medicines gathered in the Kunpeng Nest and swallowed them raw.

Immediately, his whole body overflowed with divine light, and divine essence filled every corner of his body. At the same time, all the runes engraved within his body were released, forming lines that absorbed the divine essence to wash over his physical body round after round.

All the crimson-gold runes forming the lines flashed, densely covering his body surface, flesh, internal organs, and bones; his aura continued to surge, becoming powerful. This process lasted for two days and one night, and finally, Mengchen broke through another shackle and completely stabilized.

"Hoo..."

He let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and crimson-gold runes flashed within his pupils, deep and mysterious, as if they could see through a person's soul, unfathomable.

This was the manifestation of a powerful spirit and energy.

After sensing this, the Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi were greatly alarmed; this was simply too monstrous. It was feared that in this Mingwen Jing, he would remain invincible in the world.

Vaguely, the Tianhu Shaonü thought that perhaps the current Mengchen could hold his own even against a cultivator one realm higher.

At the same time, she also worried about when she would have her day of success and completely get rid of this bald guy she detested.

"Finally succeeded." Mengchen muttered joyfully and stood up.

The Mingwen Jing is divided into four major stages: Initial, Middle, Late, and Perfection; each small stage requires years of accumulation and a great deal of time.

For ordinary cultivators, the time consumed for each small stage is almost the same as the time for a past major stage.

Yet now, he had just entered the Mingwen Jing and had already reached the middle-to-late stage, and was only one step away from the late stage.

To have reached this point in such a short time already made him very satisfied.

During these two or three days, the Ghost Ship drifted aimlessly on the sea on its own.

Mengchen, who was already unfamiliar with this place, became even more confused, unable to distinguish east from west, or south from north.

So he looked up at the Tianhu Shaonü beside him and asked, "Little fox, where have we arrived?"

"For these two days, this sister has been busy looking at your heroic posture; having drifted for so long, I don't know either?" The Tianhu Shaonü looked around, also looking bewildered.

"Forget it, then let's just go wherever it takes us!"

Subsequently, Mengchen steered the Ghost Ship, locking onto a direction and moving forward.

The vast, boundless sea surface was quite time-consuming, but fortunately, because it was a Ghost Ship, the sea surface remained calm, and no living creatures were ever seen blocking the way.

This journey took nearly twenty-plus days, and finally, they saw land, high mountains, ancient trees, and a lush green scene.

The appearance of such a scene made Mengchen, the Tianhu Shaonü, and Heizi instantly full of interest; they were finally going to end their dull and tasteless life on the sea.

"Clang..."

The Ghost Ship hit the coastline, making a crashing sound.

After the three of them jumped off the big ship, stepping onto the long-lost land, each deeply inhaling the fresh air, as if they had a tacit understanding, the three sighed softly in unison:

"The feeling of having one's feet on solid ground is truly great!"

"Let's go! Let's find someone to ask and see where this is." After Mengchen spoke, he walked toward the inland with the Tianhu Shaonü and Heizi.

The first thing they encountered was a high mountain secret forest; they walked through it, but for a time, they did not encounter any living creatures.

They continued to push forward, and after another three days, they walked out of this high mountain secret forest and entered a barren stone forest.

Inside the stone forest, jagged, pointed rocks stood, looking exceptionally grim.
