Legend of Swordsman-Chapter 5083 Decipher the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor

Even Jian Wushuang could feel the layers of shackles on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The short, chubby old man seemed accustomed to this sensation and explained, "The heavy pressure here is intentional on my part, meant to refine the impurities within every raw material."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xuan muttered under his breath, "No wonder he's so short, he hasn't even spared himself."

"..." The short, chubby old man paid no attention to Nan Xuan's comment and turned to Jian Wushuang. "Junior, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, no major issues," he quickly adjusted his state and nodded.

The old man then looked at him with interest and said, "You don't seem as simple as just a Yan Immortal, both in your performance and your level of careful thinking."

Jian Wushuang smiled and asked, "What do you think I am, then?"

"I don't know, but I can sense that you're not as simple as you appear, and more importantly, I sense loneliness within you."

Loneliness? Perhaps," Jian Wushuang replied.

The short, chubby old man waved his hand. "Well, enough chatter. What is your purpose in coming to me this time? Do you want me to craft a supreme treasure for you or trade something?"

"Neither. I simply seek your guidance," Jian Wushuang said and took out a palm-sized object from the Bowl of Yang Vessel.

It was a Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor, pure and luminous, engraved with intricate ancient patterns.

Due to the immersion in Emperor's Radiance and Yan power from the Boyang Bottle, the entire Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor had a faint white glow.

His eyes widened as he eagerly took the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor from Jian Wushuang's hand and examined it closely.

Jian Wushuang dared not even breathe, keeping his focus and anxiety at their peak.

As of now, within the Great Yan Domain, the only thing connected to information about his master, Xuan Yi, was this Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor.

If no one could successfully comprehend it, it would mean the complete loss of Xuan Yi's information.

For Jian Wushuang, this was an unacceptable reality.

For millions of years, only Master Xuan Yi had been closely related to his growth. He was unwilling to let go of Xuan Yi's information at this critical juncture.

Therefore, at this moment, his heart was moved.

Master Xuan Yi, who was he?

Was the ultimate Great Yan Domain related to him?

How far had he gone?

Everything was a mystery!

As time passed, watching the short and chubby old man furrow his brows, Jian Wushuang became increasingly anxious.

Finally, he tentatively asked, "Senior Divine Craftsman, can you decipher it?"

The old man, named Xu Tuo, suddenly raised his head and stared at him intently. "Where did you obtain this thing?" he asked.

Jian Wushuang bowed respectfully, "The process of obtaining it was extremely convoluted and difficult to explain at the moment. However, the inscriptions on it are of utmost importance to me, so I request your assistance."

After a moment of silence, Xu Tuo spoke, "This thing is extremely ancient, and the contents hidden within it are likely beyond the comprehension of any Yan Immortal expert."

"It can't be. Senior, you must have a way," Jian Wushuang pleaded urgently.

"I have perused countless texts from various domains, and I am familiar with ancient scripts from different eras, but the inscriptions on this bone armor are like nothing I have ever seen," Xu Tuo said solemnly. "This bone armor is ancient to an unimaginable degree."

Jian Wushuang took a step back, feeling as though he had been struck by lightning.

If even Xu Tuo, who had examined countless texts, couldn't identify it, then who in the entire Great Si Region or Great Yan Domain could?

At this moment, Xu Tuo suddenly said, "However, I can attempt to decipher it."

Jian Wushuang was taken aback, then he bowed respectfully. "I am grateful for your willingness, Senior!"

Xu Tuo looked at him with a meaningful expression before clutching the bone armor with the inscriptions and swiftly walked toward the center of the Dao Arena.

As he moved, the scenery within the Dao Arena changed, and the ground trembled. Soon, a grand hall appeared, situated in the center of the Dao Arena.

Xu Tuo rushed into the hall, followed closely by Jian Wushuang and Nan Xuan.

The hall was vast, resembling a library, with countless books suspended in the air, seemingly endless. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

The number of books in this hall was probably not inferior to the Heavenly Dao Library in Zhen Wuyang's Heavenly Palace.

Xu Tuo hurriedly entered the hall and, with a casual wave of his hand, hundreds or even thousands of ancient books, whose ages were incalculable, fell onto the desks.

He then began comparing the inscriptions on the bone armor with the ancient books.

Jian Wushuang didn't idle either; he began to search through the ancient books as well.

Looking at the tense atmosphere, Nan Xuan did not dare to stay idle. He also started to rummage through the ancient books.

The disorderly arrangement of the ancient books in the hall made even Jian Wushuang, who had transcended the rules of the Heavenly Dao, feel a headache.

Once they reached the level of Yan Immortal, they could instantly comprehend various non-interconnected scripts from different Heavenly Region Planes using the power of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, mastering ancient scripts and languages within an instant was not a difficult task for them.

However, this Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor proved to be a challenge. Even Xu Tuo, who was currently examining it, couldn't make heads or tails of it.

The hall was deathly silent, leaving only the sound of pages turning rapidly.

Xu Tuo's expression was solemn as he constantly rubbed the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor, but he had no clue.

Jian Wushuang kept looking for any ancient book, desperate for a clue.

"It's impossible. How could there be such ancient scripts? What place do these scripts belong to?" Xu Tuo's expression grew even more serious, and his eyes reddened.

Just then, Nan Xuan's voice suddenly sounded, "The patterns in this book seem to somewhat match those on the bone armor."

Jian Wushuang's body shook, and he quickly looked at the ancient book in Nan Xuan's hands.

But Xu Tuo was quicker; he directly snatched the ancient book from Nan Xuan's hands and hurried back to the desk.

"It's this one!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tuo said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang could not control himself and rushed forward.

The ancient book that Nan Xuan had dug out only had a few dozen pages. The words were strange and filled with an aura of vicissitudes.

Xu Tuo knelt in front of the document and read it word by word.

"Name… Yi, Xuan?"

"Resided... in the... East Capital."

With Xu Tuo's explanation, the extremely mysterious Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor showed its first appearance to Jian Wushuang.

The words were not coherent at all, but they were like a life-saving straw, allowing Jian Wushuang to get closer to Xuan Yi for the first time!

Why do I have such a familiar feeling?"

"Resided in the East Capital... Why do I feel such familiarity with this?" Xu Tuo murmured while still trying to decipher. However, he soon encountered a bottleneck, and sweat dripped from his temples.

"Why can't I read these words anymore?"
