Chapter 1253 The True Interpretation of Dao Runes

From that day on, Lin Xun temporarily settled on Kongzhe Mountain.

Green Mulberry Peak.

It was as beautiful as a painting with picturesque landscapes such as deep green bamboo, ancient rocks, glorious waterfalls, old vines, and crystal clear streams.

Kongzhe Mountain was the most famous blessed mountainous land in the Mythic Fire Realm. It was a place endowed with qi of the universe and where aeth veins converged.

Ji Xingyao had arranged for Lin Xun to reside in a building perched on an origin aeth root of Kongzhe Mountain, which provided massive benefits to his cultivation.

The swaying bamboo forest, the overflowing greenery, and the babbling stream running the bamboo forest added to the sense of tranquility and secludedness.

Sitting by the stream in the bamboo forest, Lin Xun held a palm sized stone blemished with bloodstains.

Even king-level experts would fail to notice anything unusual about the stone, but to a rune master, it was a precious treasure!

This was because it was associated with extremely profound forbidden power. Moreover, the stone concealed more secrets and mystery inside.

To rune masters, this item had another name──Dao Forbidden Stone!

Lin Xun was focused on studying the treasure.

When he crossed the Boundary River for the first time and arrived at Jade Flame City on the border of East Victory World, he inadvertently picked up this treasure at a market stall.

But because he had been running around in the past few years, the treasure had been put aside in the Nameless Pagoda and almost forgotten.

Only recently when he was organizing the treasures on him did he pick it up again.

Speaking of which, in addition to the strange Dao Forbidden Stone, Lin Xun also obtained a black silkworm cocoon from a cut-open Star Debris Meteorite at the Rock Appraisal Event held in Jade Flame City.

Inside the silkworm cocoon lay a Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly larvae with an eerie aura. It felt like a king from the depths of the devil’s abyss.

The creature was mistakenly believed to have lost its vitality, which benefited Lin Xun.

According to Little Silver, it was more difficult for the larvae of the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly to evolve than the God Devourer Insects because the process required a unique Cloud Motif Sky Crystal.

The Cloud Motif Sky Crystal was a unique divine material born in the laws of space. Such a priceless material had long become extinct in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Therefore, the cocoon of the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly had always remained like a solid stone gathering dust in the Nameless Pagoda all these years.

It could not be helped. Lin Xun had accumulated a lot of rare treasures and materials ever since he began his cultivation, but he had never come across a Cloud Motif Sky Crystal.

Even the cleverest housewife could not make a meal without rice.

However, Little Silver reckoned that there might be Cloud Motif Sky Crystal in the Upper Nine Realms.

If they could find one, then Little Silver could handle the evolution of and help raise the Sky Splitting Demonic Butterfly without needing to bother Lin Xun at all.

The bamboo forest was quiet and tranquil, and the gentle rustling of leaves seemed almost musical when the mountain breeze blew.

The murmuring stream flowed gently.

It was easy to forget about the world in the bamboo forest.

At this moment, images made up of rune patterns and arrays were flashing across Lin Xun’s mind.

It was the rune inheritance concealed within the Dao Forbidden Stone!

“The True Interpretation of Dao Runes...

“In my entire life, I have devoted myself to understanding the art of runes. All I have obtained and comprehended are engraved here. I only hope the inheritance will continue to pass on, and I will have no regrets.

“Runes are the manifestation of dao runes. In ancient times, our ancestors observed and studied the veins of all things in the world and traced their origins by understanding the nature of its runes. All kinds of runes and all kinds of arrays and patterns are the skeleton of the great dao.”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, feeling rather surprised.

He had been studying the art of runes from Mister Lu since a young age. He remembered that Mister Lu had mentioned that no matter how much something changed, it would still retain its essence. Runes were ever-changing and were said to have infinite possibilities of change, but if one pried into their true meaning, they were nothing more than the veins of the great dao!

The analysis of runes in the True Interpretation of Dao Runes shared the same view as Mister Lu.

This made Lin Xun look forward to learning even more about the True Interpretation of Dao Runes.

“Dao runes, the foundation of runes and the form of its origin, are all in harmony with the great dao, just like wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, the yin and yang and the five elements...

“Even something as small as a leaf or blade of grass presents veins.

“Even something as great as the stars in the universe follow their trajectories.

“Thus, there is no distinction between superior and inferior when it comes to its wonder. They are all manifestations of the great dao and can all present the truth of all things in the world.

“We all study dao runes to understand their principles and comprehend their wonders so we can manipulate them to control the power of heaven and earth.

“However, the great dao is unpredictable and dao runes are also obscure and difficult to understand...”

Gradually, Lin Xun’s expression grew more and more serious, and his mind was soon completely immersed in the inheritance.

The True Interpretation of Dao Runes was not so much as an inheritance to study runes as it was a dao scripture that explained and analyzed dao runes!

Ordinary rune masters would be disappointed to discover this inheritance because the text contained no specific rune techniques to imitate and practice.

But for Lin Xun, the True Interpretation of Dao Runes was invaluable!

With his current mastery in the art of runes, he might be able to control king-level forbidden arrays with ease, but he could not do anything more than that.

He had reached a bottleneck, unable to break through.

The appearance of the True Interpretation of Dao Runes provided him with the possibility of a breakthrough!

Now, Lin Xun was a rune founder, and if progressed even more, he would advance to a whole new level—Dao rune master!

There was only a difference of one word between dao runes and runes, but they represented two completely different concepts.

Anyone able to become a dao rune master had seen through the essence of runes and begun to trace their origin, delving into the existence of dao runes.

Such people were said to have broken away from the scope of runes and began to explore the secrets and mysteries of the art of runes!

Lin Xun had never met a dao rune master in all his years of cultivation.

This indicated that dao rune masters were incredibly rare, at least in the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

Lin Xun had already come to a conclusion.

The mysterious person who created the True Interpretation of Dao Runes had to be a dao rune master. Otherwise, they could not write such profound insights.

Anyone with some knowledge could write a book.

But someone who could write a book that became a scripture was no different from a sage!

Scripture was just one word, but it held as much as the universe!

Lin Xun had a feeling that if he could thoroughly comprehend the True Interpretation of Dao Runes, his rune mastery would break through to a whole new level.

Once that happened, he would have no problem in arranging arrays to trap and kill top figures of the longevity stage.

Of course, Lin Xun had something else to consider.

It was impossible for him to stay on Kongzhe Mountain forever and help the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms take care of the intrusion of enemies.

But before he left, he could set up a forbidden array around Kongzhe Mountain to deter enemies.

……

On the main peak of Kongzhe Mountain, Mo Tianhe couldn’t help asking, “What is Brother Lin doing?”

“Training.” Ji Xingyao casually answered.

Mo Tianhe was taken aback for a moment and then exclaimed with admiration, “The heavens reward the diligent. No wonder Brother Lin has the achievements he has today. He makes us blush with shame.”

Ji Xingyao rolled her eyes. “Senior Brother Mo, when did you learn to flatter other people?”

Mo Tianhe laughed and did not take her seriously.

In the past, he might have been prejudiced against Lin Xun, but now he regarded him as a great friend. The grudges and ill feelings he had towards him had long faded.

“Senior Brother Mo, Lin Xun is staying on Kongzhe Mountain so it is foreseeable that many storms will sweep over us in the coming days. We must not let our guards down,” Ji Xingyao reminded him.

Mo Tianhe felt a chill run down his back and then he nodded.

……

After four years, Lin Xun had returned!

This news spread throughout the Mythic Fire Realm at an unbelievable speed like a fire on a dry grass prairie and caused explosions across the originally quiet atmosphere.

“Demon God Lin is still alive?! How is that possible?”

Many people were dumbstruck and could not believe the news.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Four years ago, all sorts of news about Lin Xun’s death bombarded the entire Upper Nine Realms.

But now, there was news that he had come back from the dead and was making a strong return!

Anyone would find it hard to believe.

“Impossible, the news has to be fake!”

Many questioned the reliability of the news and thought it was just a rumor.

Regardless, it still spread rapidly, and the reason for that was—Prestige!

Four years ago, the name of Demon God Lin illuminated everywhere like the sun. Everyone had to acknowledge his power, even his enemies.

Moreover, everything that happened to him was almost like a miracle.

Although his name gradually faded from everyone’s minds over the past four years, it would never be forgotten!

Therefore, the news of his return imaginably caused a huge sensation.

It completely broke the temporarily peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

It was unknown how many sects and clans were alarmed, and it was unknown how many experts broke into a commotion.

“It’s true. On the day that the Underworld force besieged Kongzhe Mountain and tried to force Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms to submit, Lin Xun unexpectedly appeared and crushed their plan!”

When this specific news came out along with the specified location and events, it sparked an uproar in the Mythic Fire Realm.

Immediately after that, more and more specific news came out.

“The Underworld force dispatched was wiped out. Three divine warriors were destroyed and one divine warrior fled for his life! Everyone else was killed!”

Underworld was a behemoth-like existence in the present Upper Nine Realms, rising strongly and unstoppably.

But now, four of their divine warriors were shockingly defeated!

“Demon God Lin has passed three longevity tribulations!”

This news brought a feeling of unease and restlessness to many major forces.

After disappearing for four years, Demon God Lin not only returned, but also was completely different from before!

“Ahhh—”

On that day, it was unknown how many furious roars rang out from the Underworld territory.

There was no problem with Lin Xun returning.

But his return was accompanied by the bloody slaughter of Underworld experts, and this would no doubt cause a huge blow to their influence and prestige!

“He is actually alive…”

“A scourge lives for thousands of years…”New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . Fɪre

“Now that he has returned, the Mythic Fire Realm will no longer be peaceful!”

Everyone started to believe that Lin Xun was indeed alive and began to speculate about what sort of storm would his appearance cause next.

What was certain was that the storm would not be a small one!
