Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone
Chapter 250 - 248: How Did You Do It
Without any warning, Qin Yu directly condensed the Array Patterns.
Luo Lizhu even wondered if she was mistaken, and extended her perception...
The Array Patterns Qin Yu condensed were identical to the fluctuations of those in the Ancient Stele.
No mistake about it.
But how exactly did he accomplish this?!
Luo Lizhu was somewhat puzzled.
"Palace Envoy, Palace Envoy..."
After Qin Yu called several times, Luo Lizhu slightly came back to her senses and asked, "What is it?"
"Palace Envoy, could you take me to the next Ancient Stele?"
Qin Yu didn’t know what Luo Lizhu was thinking, but given the chance to comprehend the Ancient Array, he surely had to seize it.
Perhaps, it might be of use in future situations.
He was worried because the Cyan Mountains’ safety was not yet fully secured.
"You..."
Luo Lizhu asked uncertainly, "You...could it be, that you’ve comprehended it?"
"Fortunate not to disappoint."
Qin Yu smiled slightly, responding with great humility.
"..."
This is not humility at all.
Look at the others; the most accomplished among them has only managed to sort out one or two veins, while most haven’t even grasped a clue.
Yet Qin Yu, in just half an hour, had comprehended a face of the Ancient Stele?!
Luo Lizhu’s silence was deafening.
Back in the day, how long did it take for her...it seemed four days.
And it was during that time that the Hall Master took notice of her and kept her nearby.
Saying she was a Palace Envoy, was really a way of nurturing her, wasn’t it?!
"Palace Envoy?"
Seeing her staring at him, with her eyes constantly changing, Qin Yu fearfully took a step back.
Those eyes, they seemed like she was going to devour him.
"Use Spiritual Power to try to activate this Ancient Stele."
Luo Lizhu reminded.
If Qin Yu truly comprehended the Array Patterns on the Ancient Stele, he should be able to activate the Ancient Stele with Spiritual Power.
"Yes."
Qin Yu planned to try that, so he covered the Ancient Stele with Spiritual Power and began to imitate those mysterious Runes.
The next moment, countless golden lights surged from the decrepit Ancient Stele and this time, they could be seen with the naked eye.
Buzz!...
A peculiar sense of significance spread, and those around immediately sensed it, turning towards Qin Yu.
"Someone comprehended the Array Patterns!"
"Who is it, who understood it so quickly, which genius is it?"
"How is that possible, how could someone comprehend in such a short time? Was it that someone previously comprehending intentionally triggered the Array Patterns?"
Various guesses rang out in the hearts of the people, but without exception, the fluctuation of this significance spurred all of them greatly.
Meanwhile, in front of the Ancient Stele deep within the Secret Realm, the Hall Master of Cyan Mist Hall, Duanmu Hong, also opened his eyes and turned to look.
"Oh, it’s that little fellow."
Even the Hall Master revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had an impression of Qin Yu, but it was far from being particularly valued.
Yet unexpectedly, Qin Yu indeed had such insight, able to comprehend an Ancient Stele in such a short time.
He intended to meet him.
But upon reflection, he decided to observe further.
At this moment, Qin Yu was completely unaware that the Hall Master had noticed him.
After he used Spiritual Power to imitate the Array Patterns inside the Ancient Stele once, he surprisingly felt his Spiritual Power being absorbed by the Ancient Stele.
The patterns inside the Ancient Stele he stood before seemed distinctly brighter.
"What’s going on?"
Qin Yu pondered.
The Celestial Eye suddenly opened, and his vision broadened, the grand structure of the Ancient Array instantly appeared before Qin Yu, reaching the farthest edge.
This array was complex in structure, containing a total of twelve layers inside and out, each layer erecting nine Ancient Steles. They were scattered around, seemingly without pattern, yet from Qin Yu’s current perspective, these seemingly disordered Ancient Steles neatly encircled the core without the slightest gap.
Under the Celestial Eye, he could see the nine outmost Ancient Steles as the brightest, while towards the center, the golden light grew dimmer.
Especially in the middle, the golden light flickered on and off, as if it would extinguish at any moment.
What would happen if it went out?!
A thought suddenly flashed to Qin Yu.
It seemed, as if something bad would happen.
Vaguely, he felt that the Four Temples Organization’s highly spiritually perceptive cultivators entered to comprehend, seemingly supplementing the golden light in the Ancient Array, maintaining its operation.
Why not directly comprehend the nine Ancient Steles at the core?
Qin Yu wondered, yet did not think much further for the moment.
However, at the fourth-layer Ancient Stele, he saw a figure.
It was the Hall Master!
With a mere indifferent glance, he quickly withdrew the Celestial Eye.
With Duanmu Hong’s cultivation, naturally something was perceived, but as he swept his Spiritual Power over, it yielded nothing.
Immediately his expression grew a lot more solemn, then he devoted himself more deeply to comprehending the Ancient Stele before him.
...
"Palace Envoy, would that suffice?"
Qin Yu was truly helpless.
He hadn’t anticipated that triggering the Array Patterns would cause such a commotion, when he originally wanted to be low-key, now it would be impossible.
Luckily, Luo Lizhu was beside him, but even so, the cultivators also comprehending this Ancient Stele gazed at Qin Yu as if he were a monster.
"Follow me."
Luo Lizhu quickly recovered, personally leading Qin Yu to the front of the next Ancient Stele.
Subsequently, Qin Yu reactivated the Celestial Eye, and after penetrating the veins inside this Ancient Stele, he suddenly understood why past cultivators started from the outermost Ancient Steles to comprehend.
These Ancient Steles were not isolated entities, they possessed a subtle and profound connection between them. Each Ancient Stele’s Array Patterns, though varied in form, contained hidden responses. They were like stars in the night sky, each shining, yet weaving a vast cosmic tapestry together.
For example, now Qin Yu was comprehending an Ancient Stele on the outermost layer of the twelfth layer. If he went to comprehend one of the Ancient Steles in the eleventh layer now, he would not be able to link together the different Array Patterns.
He even had a feeling, that even if he comprehended an Ancient Stele in the Eleventh Layer, he wouldn’t be able to activate it.
Half an hour passed.
Looking at the illuminated Ancient Stele before her, Luo Lizhu could hardly believe her eyes.
The first Array Pattern was relatively easy to comprehend; the truly difficult part was how to link two completely different Array Patterns together.
As Qin Yu turned his gaze towards her, she was still somewhat lost, not snapping back to reality.
"How...did you do it?"
Asking, Luo Lizhu felt a bit lucky.
Lucky she hadn’t neglected Qin Yu, otherwise trying to build a relationship again might seem a bit contrived.
