Chapter 141: The Brush of Alsu

Although they are not the same world, the rules are interconnected.

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, gradually digesting this portion of knowledge he had intercepted. Although he had only received it for a few short seconds, the massive amount of content still allowed Jiang Xuan to understand many things.

The rule representing "Writer" within the feather is essentially the cornerstone that constitutes the world's "Consciousness."

What was instilled into his consciousness was part of the functions and knowledge regarding the use of the world's "Consciousness" rules. If this knowledge were poured into someone's body all at once, almost no one could resist it, let alone the fact that the people of this world almost have no methods specifically for cultivating the spirit.

Every potion is resisted by passively growing consciousness; one need not think to know it is very dangerous. Not only is there a possibility of failure, but it is very likely that the incarnation of rules will cause the body to mutate, forming a strange Rule Incarnation.

The well-known Acting Method and rituals are both about performing behaviors that match the Sequence Name; actually, it is to accelerate the understanding of knowledge within the potion. After basically understanding one kind of knowledge, contacting the next kind of advanced knowledge makes failure less likely, allowing one to take the next potion.

As dawn broke, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes; a flash of brilliance passed through them, and faint, low murmurs came to his ears.

"What exactly does the senior's finger in the sky mean? Does he want me to shout at the sky?"

Virtual light flickered before Jiang Xuan's eyes. When his spirit spread around the shadow, the current image of Klein appeared before him; at this moment, he was sitting in the room with a pained expression.

This is part of the ability within the "Writer" rule that Jiang Xuan obtained after absorbing a small portion of the rules from Sealed Artifact No. 008.

All Words Are Known. When you know and mention him, he also knows you, and knows everyone you have contacted.

The pained "Master of the Washbasin Room" Klein walked into his familiar Washroom, took four steps backward, and silently chanted: "Floating Life Xuan Huang Heavenly Venerable!"

He set the meeting time for the weekly "Tarot Club" again.

The "Tarot Club" is a meeting where Klein used the Gray Fog to pull some people's consciousness into the Gray Mist Above; these people exchanged information, and later even exchanged materials to form a group. Klein pretended within it to be a Pillar whose power was gradually recovering, guiding others to trade so as to obtain the things and information he needed! His development from nothing was inseparable from the help of the Tarot Club and information exchange!

His consciousness broke through the Gray Fog and came to that unchanging place, but as soon as he looked, he discovered that the Gray Mist Above had changed this time!

Originally, the stars in the sky of the Source Castle were extremely tiny; if Klein did not actively bring people here, this Star Sky would remain unchanged forever.

But now, a full moon suddenly appeared in the Star Sky! It completely covered the light of tens of millions of stars, and even the place where the Gray Fog condensed for meetings became bright by three points!

On the full moon even carried a portion of Jiang Xuan's consciousness: "Call me if there's anything!"

Klein's eyes widened like a cow's, and his Face twitched involuntarily. Is this senior a bit too individualistic!

So this is what the heavens are like!

Yet in his heart, he revered the senior even more, and most of all, he feared him!

This Source Castle is a relic of the Heavenly Venerable, yet Jiang Xuan could freely change the environment within the Source Castle. From this, one can see that Jiang Xuan's strength might not be as great as the Heavenly Venerable's, but it is also not something he could imagine.

Jiang Xuan looked at him through part of the "Writer's" Authority, following his consciousness to the Gray Mist Above. His consciousness condensed onto a chair at the gray mist table—the chair belonging to the code name "World."

"Senior!" Klein's spirit was shaken, and he performed a gentleman's salute respectfully toward the suddenly appearing Jiang Xuan.

"I will transmit to you a Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method, Refining Spirit Technique. If your Primordial Spirit is high enough, you can use potions continuously to advance without using the Acting Method anymore!"

Jiang Xuan was not interested in the legacy of Floating Life Xuan Huang Heavenly Venerable that carried a spiritual trust, or rather, he was not interested in Sequence potions; he was only interested in Sealed Artifacts that had been transformed by Sequence aberrations.

Sealed Artifacts are like another kind of Magic Weapon in this world. Jiang Xuan only needs to refine Sealed Artifacts to obtain a large amount of corresponding world Rule Power. The rules condensed on the artifact will also be imprinted into his body, which is much simpler than taking potions! Moreover, refining artifacts will not be restricted by the Sequence potion system!

So he transmitted to Klein a Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method from the Fengyun World, which also helps him resist more easily when the Heavenly Venerable possesses him.

After speaking, Jiang Xuan slapped Klein's forehead with one hand. Amidst the circulation of yin and yang, the cultivation method was already engraved into his consciousness, available for reference at any time.

Klein did not refuse; mainly, even if he wanted to refuse, he could not, so he could only silently accept.

He carefully recalled the cultivation method in his mind once. Just skimming through it made him feel it was indescribably wonderful, and this technique could actually accelerate the digestion of potions. He had never seen such a thing before.

"Aren't you going to convene the Tarot Club? Start!" Jiang Xuan reminded him.

Klein instead looked somewhat hesitant: "That, Senior! What I play at the Tarot Club is a mysterious existence that has just recovered!"

"It's fine! I won't expose you!"

At this moment, in a luxurious boudoir, Audrey glanced at the clock beside her. Her willow-leaf-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. The meeting, which was always punctual, had been delayed for so long and still hadn't started. Could it be that the one watched by a True God has been targeted?

The next second, darkness fell before her eyes. The Gray Fog floating above the Yun Duan split from both sides, and an indescribable Figure rudely pulled her into the Gray Fog.

At the mist table, "Justice" Audrey and "Hanged Man" Alger sat in their respective seats.

"Hey! It seems we have a new member!" Audrey always spoke in a sunny and cheerful manner. Although her face was obscured by the Gray Fog, one could still feel her overflowing passion.

Jiang Xuan ignored the white mist as he sized up this "most dazzling jewel of Backlund." She had golden hair and blue eyes, her features as clear as crystal and jade carving. To say she was beautiful as a fairy was no exaggeration. Her positive attitude toward everything made the moods of those around her unconsciously improve.

In contrast, this Alger beside her looked unpleasant at first glance. His face was rough, as if his face had been kneaded in sea salt a dozen times. He always had a guarded attitude toward everyone, and at this moment, he was carefully observing Jiang Xuan.

At the beginning of the meeting was a chat session. The great existence seated at the head would not participate, so Audrey looked at Jiang Xuan and took the initiative to speak:

"Hello! I am 'Justice'! Every newcomer can choose a code name from a tarot card here. What code name have you chosen?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head and said: "I am not a member of the Tarot Club; I am the attendant of 'Fool' Mr. This time I have come to tell you that we will quickly develop under the name of 'Fool' and overthrow everything that hinders Fool from recovering his strength! You two can choose whether or not to stay in the Tarot Club."

Klein opened his mouth, but thinking that speaking now might be inappropriate, he closed it again. Sitting in the chief seat like a sculpture, he used his attitude to indicate: Exactly! This is what I instructed!

Under the cover of the Gray Fog, the two did not discover "His" abnormality. Moreover, this news made their leisurely moods surge.

"Rapid development! Recover strength!"

These two words combined mean that battles of various levels will become the main theme!

Struggle for resources, advance in Sequence, and resist the destruction of other Powerful Forces!

Alger was still lowering his head in thought, but Justice Audrey had already nodded: "Of course! I am willing to dedicate my strength to the great 'Fool' Mr!"

At this moment, Audrey only felt her hot-blooded spirit boiling and her mood surging!

Born into a great noble family, her life was too calm and elegant. She had long hoped for a wild experience.

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly to Miss Audrey, then looked at "Hanged Man" Mr. Alger.

Alger felt that as this attendant's gaze fell upon him, the thin Gray Fog could not give him any sense of security at all; it was as if he had been completely seen through. He looked resentfully at the sunny Miss Justice opposite him.

If 'Justice' had agreed a bit later, it would not be excessive for him to say he would consider it. But Miss Justice agreed so readily that if he did not agree now, he might be in danger of his life!

"I am willing too!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded: "I will transmit a cultivation method to you! If you cultivate it step by step, you can accelerate your understanding of the abilities contained in the potions, and you won't need to use the Acting Method anymore!"

"I will try my best to collect the potion formulas you need, so you can advance at the fastest speed!"

The two only felt a pain in their foreheads. A technique was transmitted into their consciousness. Although it was not written in their script, they could inexplicably understand it.

Klein, seated in the high position, felt a bit sour at this moment. It turned out the technique was not just for him; others had it too!

The meeting ended. Klein waved his hand, and the two were sent back by the Gray Fog. Only Jiang Xuan remained on the Gray Mist Above.

"Next, you focus on your cultivation. If you get any news about magic potion materials, tell me! I'll help you and the Tarot Club members find them!" Jiang Xuan finished speaking, and his figure actively dissipated within the Gray Fog.

"Sigh! Is this really my golden finger?" As the Gray Fog gradually fell silent, sighs echoed between the long tables of the Gray Fog, and the ruined Source Castle overlooked everything.

Consciousness returned, and Jiang Xuan continued to smelt the Brush of Alsu in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

In one night's time, Jiang Xuan had already finished digesting the knowledge he had previously intercepted; not only did he understand how to control this Rule, but more importantly, he explored and digested the essence of the Rule.

Crimson-gold flames surged in the furnace, and his divine sense once again attached itself to probe the interior of the Feather.

Knowledge of the Rule Power of "Writer" poured forth; the obscure Rule Daos of the Zhetian World were like clothes stripped off and laid before you in this world, presenting a posture of letting you take whatever you wanted.

Even if you didn't want it and just watched from the side, the other party would come sticking to you!

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged in place, digesting these knowledge with full power.

Soon his consciousness was filled with this vast knowledge, but the speed of the knowledge invasion did not slow in the slightest, like an erupting volcano, one section squeezing another as they rushed in.

This time he did not anxiously cut it off, but wanted to use this opportunity to temper his divine sense!

Overdraft and rebirth of divine sense is the best tempering method, able to greatly enhance the toughness of divine sense.

A few seconds later, due to the squeezing of knowledge, memories related to life and experiences were filled, divided, and squeezed by vast amounts of knowledge; memories gradually became tiny, and Jiang Xuan even forgot who he was! What to do! Just a ruthless understanding machine, a carrier of Rules!

Jiang Xuan left only one last thought: "Too arrogant!"

The cross-legged Jiang Xuan's complexion was calm; spiritual changes seemed not to affect him, beneath his skin something vaguely writhed, and from time to time flesh buds would burst through the body, producing strange lines, like the tips of writing brushes.

But at the moment the flesh buds appeared, a strand of Xuanhuang Qi would circulate on the body's surface. The newborn flesh buds disappeared the moment they touched the Xuanhuang Qi, as if they had never appeared at all!

Jiang Xuan did not know the changes happening to his body, or rather he did not know who he was; the only thought was to desperately digest this vast knowledge.

After three sunsets, the figure sitting in meditation swayed slightly a few times, a pair of bright and sharp eyes opened, from which it seemed countless people could be seen working, sleeping, and even praying.

After three days of unconscious understanding and digestion, Jiang Xuan finally completely received all knowledge of the "Writer" Rule, and also recalled the condition of his body at that time.

This time he really was too arrogant; he didn't expect that just not severing his divine sense for more than a few seconds would cause the gate to not close, and knowledge scattered his consciousness and humanity.

The out-of-control Rule began to run rampant inside his body; his body had already begun to mutate, and it was the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda protecting his flesh from being eroded by the Rule, leaving him time to slowly absorb knowledge.

If it were someone else, they would probably have already become a strange monster, becoming a lamb for others to extract magic potion materials.

However, although dangerous, the gains were equally huge.

The biggest gain was comprehending an extended branch knowledge under the World "Consciousness" Rule; the accumulated Rule knowledge would become the provisions for him to use Rules later.

Easily use and control the Rule Power of this branch "Writer"!

Now he could enter the Subconscious Collective at any time, consuming mental power to reach the level of Divination; of course, the greater the power, the greater the consumption!

If he didn't care about his life and said that the Mysterious World completely disappeared, the next second his soul would probably turn into flying ash, and the prophecy would not come true.

The second ability is Domination; he can invade the subconscious and control the other party's consciousness and behavior unknowingly. This ability is like charm in cultivation, but Rule Power is not so easy to resist, and is more hidden and difficult to probe, unless you have a more profound Rule protecting your body.

Finally is the ability "All Words Are Known" that he had obtained before.

Now even if no one mentions Jiang Xuan, just knowing this person Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan can consume mental power to probe his information and know the interpersonal relationships of the people around him!

Similarly Rule Power driven by mental power; for those who have not mastered Rules or whose Rule strength is not as strong as the "Writer" Sequence strength, there is no way to resist this probing ability!

The Feather in the Off-fire Furnace still shone brightly, but had already become much closer to Jiang Xuan.

With a thought, the Brush of Alsu slowly merged into Jiang Xuan's palm; strands of Rule Power crossed his body, and Daojie imprints were branded onto his palm.
