Chapter 84: Lu Yun's Intentions! The Flaws of the Great Desolation's Recording Methods!

Yuanshi was somewhat stunned and asked in confusion, "Why does Eldest Brother say this?"

Laozi replied, "If this Lu Yun can truly bring a more effective method of recording to the Human Race, what do you think he will gain?"

Yuanshi pondered for a moment and immediately understood.

Heavenly Dao Merit!

Since Jieshengshi was able to obtain Heavenly Dao Merit when he first invented the Knot-Tying Record, then if Lu Yun creates a better method of recording, he will naturally obtain it as well!

In this way, the Heavenly Dao Merit on him will increase again, and if they want to forcibly take action against him, the Karmic Backlash they would have to endure would be even greater.

"What a cunning member of the Human Race!"

Yuanshi could not help but secretly grit his teeth.

He also noticed that Tongtian was watching Lu Yun with great interest at this moment, seemingly very interested in the new recording method Lu Yun spoke of, and his expression turned even darker.

This Tongtian, not only did he not share his Eldest Brother's worries, but he even showed such appreciation; he was simply beyond reason! However, since there were still many outsiders present, he found it difficult to reprimand Tongtian, so he endured it and turned his gaze back to Lu Yun.

In reality, he was still somewhat skeptical about whether the new recording method Lu Yun spoke of had any use at all.

On the other side, Fuxi had also guessed Lu Yun's intentions.

He could not help but smile slightly and transmitted his voice to Nuwa, "Little sister, this human is even smarter than we previously thought!"

Nuwa also nodded slightly and added, "However, whether the plan can succeed depends on whether the new recording method he speaks of is actually useful."

If possible, she naturally did not want to go so far as to come to blows with Laozi and the others.

After all, she alone could certainly not be a match for the Three Pure Ones.

If they were even slightly careless, both Lu Yun and the Human Race could suffer a terrifying disaster.

Fuxi said, "I imagine that since he has already brought it up, he must already have sufficient confidence!"

Nuwa felt the same, and as she looked at Lu Yun, she could not help but feel a bit more anticipation.

Meanwhile, Baize, who was sitting on the other side of Nuwa, had a somewhat gloomy expression.

Because he also realized that if Lu Yun truly obtained merit for creating a new method of recording, it would be quite disadvantageous for their scheme this time.

However, he soon felt relieved.

Because he saw that Jieshengshi was only a Heavenly Immortal, and the merit he possessed was actually not much.

He felt that even if Lu Yun obtained merit again, it should not surpass Jieshengshi, and it should not be enough to make the Three Pure Ones fear taking action!...

Lu Yun did not pay any attention to the reactions of Laozi and the others.

At this moment, he suddenly looked toward Houtu and the others and asked with a smile, "Friends from the Wu Clan, could you tell me what methods your Wu Clan uses for recording?"

Houtu smiled and said, "What my Wu Clan uses are the Witch Runes created by Brother Jumang!"

Originally, she had not revealed their identities to Lu Yun, but now that Baize had appeared, their identities were basically exposed. She felt that Lu Yun must have already guessed it, so she no longer hid it.

As she spoke, a very complex symbol appeared directly in her palm, with divine light flowing and shining brilliantly.

Lu Yun asked curiously, "How much information can a single Witch Rune like this record?"

Houtu said, "This depends on the cultivation of the person who condenses this Witch Rune; the higher the cultivation, the more information it can record!"

Lu Yun could not help but smile and said, "I imagine that most races in the Great Desolation use a similar method, right?"

Houtu nodded and said, "Correct! Come to think of it, the first to use this method should have been the Dragon Clan. In the past, Zulong created the Dragon Script for recording, then Yuanfeng created the Phoenix Seal, and Shiqilin also created the Qilin Record for the Qilin Clan; other races naturally vied to imitate them and created their own methods of recording."

Lu Yun seemed to have suddenly thought of something, looked toward Baize, and said, "I remember that the Demon Race also has the Monster Script, which seems to have been created by the Demon Master Kunpeng?"

Baize's expression was calm as he said, "Correct! Before the Demon Master created the Monster Script, each tribe of the Demon Race had different methods of recording. Later, the Demon Master unified the recording methods of the Demon Race with the Monster Script, and it was for this reason that he was honored as the Demon Master by our Demon Emperor!"

He carefully glanced at Nuwa and added, "Back then, after Wa Emperor created your Human Race, we also permitted the Human Race to learn the Monster Script, but the Human Race's strength was too low, and they were simply unable to learn it."

Nuwa remained expressionless.

Because what Baize said was also a fact.

It was precisely because the Human Race could not learn the Monster Script that they had always been out of place among the Demon Race, and later, they had no choice but to come up with the Knot-Tying Record method themselves.

Lu Yun said with a smile, "It seems that the so-called Monster Script, Witch Runes, or the earlier Dragon Script, Phoenix Seal, and Qilin Record are essentially the same as my Human Race's Knot-Tying Record! It is just that you use Supernatural Power to record information directly into those symbols, while my Human Race uses our own memory to record it and pass it down from generation to generation."

Baize frowned and wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully, it seemed that what Lu Yun said was not wrong.

Jieshengshi felt a bit embarrassed himself and said, "I was indeed inspired by the Monster Script and Witch Runes to think of the Knot-Tying Record method. Because my Human Race cannot use those kinds of recording Supernatural Powers, we could only rely on our own memory."

Lu Yun smiled and said, "The sage need not feel embarrassed! Since the Knot-Tying method you created has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, it means it has value! Moreover, it has indeed made a huge contribution to my Human Race!"

After a slight pause, he said again, "Furthermore, just as I said earlier, the Human Race's Knot-Tying Record has its flaws, and things like Witch Runes, Monster Script, Dragon Script, Phoenix Seal, and Qilin Record also have fatal flaws!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was taken aback.

Immediately after—

"Nonsense!"

Baize could not help but stand up directly, not caring that Nuwa was right beside him, and angrily rebuked Lu Yun, "You human are simply ignorant! My Demon Race's Monster Script is the painstaking work of the Demon Master; it is not only exquisite but also comes in many styles, and when combined with secret techniques, it can even achieve the effect of confidentiality. It is the most perfect recording method in the Great Desolation! When the Monster Script was first born, it also triggered the Heavenly Dao to bestow merit; how can you slander it at will?"

Lu Yun glanced at him and said, "Is obtaining Heavenly Dao Merit such a big deal? I have obtained it several times myself!"

Baize was speechless for a moment.

Lu Yun added, "Besides, who says that just because something has obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, it has no flaws?"

Baize said in a deep voice, "Then I would like to hear what these flaws you speak of are!"
