Chapter 281: Chapter 267 Implication

Elder Song, in a courteous manner, finished speaking, and with no True Qi, executed the first form of the Overlapping Waves Palm, Entering Water and Separating Waves.

Master Wu, who had been feeling gloomy for some time, caught this in his peripheral vision and slowly turned his head.

This child is not bad; his palm technique reaches divine communication.

From the first form, Song Juesi slowly executed, completing the Eighteen Forms, then gathering True Qi to perform a slow punch.

Master Wu’s expression grew serious.

After finishing the slow True Qi punch, Song Juesi then performed a fast True Qi punch.

Upon the execution of the first palm, everyone felt a moment of disorientation before their eyes.

Song Juesi’s right hand seemed to transform into a great wave, as he pushed it out, the sides transformed into the sea surface, dramatically parting.

Song Juesi advanced, his right arm moving horizontally.

The second form, Crossing the Autumn River.

With a horizontal push of one palm from Elder Song, a majestic Yangtze River was drawn, blocking a titanic surge.

As the Yangtze River crossed, the giant tide collapsed.

Zhou Leng felt an invisible force press against his chest and abdomen.

“This…”

Zhou Leng knew that Elder Song had long cultivated the Overlapping Waves Palm to divine communication.

The level of these moves was indeed at the Divine Communication Realm, but there was an indescribable element to them.

Zhou Leng had an illusion that even if he took this palm hard, he would be severely injured.

Elder Song is just at the Blood Transporting Period.

“Starfield profound implications…”

Zhou Leng stared at Elder Song.

After completing one round, Song Juesi, still unsatisfied, continued to perform and completed seven rounds of the Overlapping Waves Palm before sitting down to meditate.

Master Wu gazed at Elder Song.

Most were watching in confusion, but top Vitality Stage practitioners like Zhang Xinglie, Zhang Feng, and Li Yuanhe each gained insights.

Zhou Leng repeatedly recalled the meticulousness of Elder Song’s forms, then started practicing the Overlapping Waves Palm himself, imitating Elder Song’s palm trajectories and intricacies as best as he could.

Again and again, again and again.

True Qi depleted, True Qi returned.

His entire body was enveloped in white qi.

A steam mirage formed at every step.

Zhou Leng continuously moved forward, leaving a trail of white qi behind him, like a wall of mist.

Within the continuity of the white qi, Zhou Leng’s silhouette appeared repeatedly.

The white qi formed a wall, True Qi left a shape.

For the first time, Master Wu closely examined Zhou Leng.

“Body of Wonders, Qi Marvelous Body, Powerful Body… Ancient Divine Remnant Power… Heart of the Demon Lord… Even in Ancient River Sect of the Glorious Celestial Stars, he would be considered above average… Hmm? Within his martial arts concepts, there is actually some of my Ancient River Sect’s… and even a Tiger Talisman…”

After exhausting True Qi, Zhou Leng sat on the ground cross-legged.

A set of Overlapping Waves Palm from Elder Song made Zhou Leng faintly perceive a realm above the extreme.

Just a step away from palm technique divine communication.

“Hmm?” Master Wu turned his gaze towards Zhang Xinglie, who was practicing his martial arts.

“This child seems to have even greater talent… An Innate Martial Body, back in the day, would have been in great demand among the peaks.”

Master Wu slowly stood up, his gaze restoring calmness.

The fate of the Ancient River Sect turns for the better after hardship.

Master Wu once again looked at Song Juesi.

“Only three hundred some trial takers, and there is one with ascension to divinity potential. Postnatal potential, going slow then fast, is no different from innate potential, often surpassing it in many ways…”

Master Wu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and a golden light curtain emerged above the bronze furnace.

Upon the light curtain, three-dimensional divine text revolved slowly.

The general outline and text of the Star Gazing Technique.

Less than a hundred words, yet each word was a pearl, like stars.

Master Wu looked at Zhou Leng.

“Boy, you tell them, practice diligently. If you practice well, you can become an outer sect disciple. Practice even better, and you can enter the inner sect. As for you…”

Master Wu thought to himself that he couldn’t understand the original language, so he had to rely on this youngster as an intermediary, who also possessed the Ancient River Compass, making him one of our own.

“You will act as the chief senior brother for this trial, manage it with diligence, and take it seriously. Should you occupy the position in vain, heavy punishment awaits.”

Zhou Leng cupped his hands and said, “Disciple takes orders.”

Zhou Leng turned to announce Master Wu’s order to everyone.

Most did not speak, but a few like Rao Mingxing looked at Zhou Leng suspiciously.

“Do you believe it?”

“Hard to say.”

“No hurry, let’s wait and see.”

“Take a photo first, don’t forget.”

A martial artist lifted a mobile phone and took a photo of the divine text light curtain.

Click…

Bang!

A thunderbolt struck down from the sky, hitting the person taking the photo.

The blinding lightning flashed white, making everyone’s vision flicker between white and black, nearly blinding them.

People stood frozen, their vision gradually returning.

Where the lightning fell, the ground was charred, leaving black ash.

Master Wu coldly snorted and said, “Did a comet hit your brain? Dare to recklessly record sect inheritance? Do you think using such backward tools can fool this old man? Foolish beyond measure.”

Zhou Leng, being the temporary chief senior brother, conveyed Master Wu’s message: “Concerning inheritance secrets, photographing is prohibited. Everyone, please adhere to proper conduct, this is Ancient River Sect, not a tourist site. Before doing anything, it’s best to ask.”

Zhou Leng finished speaking, with cold sweat on his back.

Fortunately, he was a step behind, or else it would have been him struck by lightning.

Everyone silently put away their phones and demonized watches, including the divine text experts.

Taking photos is risky, capturing images requires caution.

Zhou Leng glanced at Master Wu, this old gentleman seemed a bit irritable.

Zhao Nandi said, “Zhou Leng, ask Master Wu if there are any other taboos.”

Zhou Leng cupped his hands towards Master Wu and said, “Master, may I ask what other taboos we need to observe?”

Master Wu gave Zhou Leng a sidelong look, turned his head to gaze into the distance, and continued to lament the passage of time.

Zhou Leng looked at everyone and said, “Although Master Wu appointed me as the temporary senior brother, I’m not very interested in managing everyone. I prefer researching Divine Texts and delving into Martial Arts. To reduce casualties and avoid punishments, I suggest each group send a few people to discuss the upcoming plans with me. It’s not mandatory, everything is up to you.”

Everyone had witnessed Zhou Leng’s relationship with the Divine Text experts and Song Juesi, and since he was one who had begun the legacy, they each sent some people to discuss together.

Soon, they worked out some basic plans.

After the discussion, Zhou Leng left without concern for anyone and turned towards the Divine Text light curtain.

The others stared at the Divine Text light curtain, their heads buzzing, some feeling utterly exhausted after a while, while others simply fell asleep.

Only the Divine Text experts were ecstatic, studying carefully.

Zhou Leng repeatedly read all the Divine Texts from the “Star Gazing Technique” again and again without translating them.

He simply recited them repeatedly in his mind and mentally pronounced them.

For a full three days and nights.

After a long sleep, Zhou Leng began translating and noting down possibly inaccurate parts.

Luckily, this piece “Star Gazing Technique” was fundamental Inner Power.

Unluckily, as basic as it was, it was from the Starfield Sect, far more profound and complete than any current Inner Power on Earth.

The downside was the complexity, but the upside was its completeness and systematic nature; the total amount to learn was heavy, but the actual learning difficulty was not high, at least far less than those incomplete cultivation techniques.

Even if inaccurate, and even without cultivation, Zhou Leng had a vague understanding after translating.

Zhou Leng repeatedly read the translation, his brows furrowed.

Many parts were not well-translated, but it was already his limit.

Currently, practicing these materials would lead anyone to fall into demonization.

He passed the translation to Song Juesi.

Song Juesi studied it carefully.

He then passed the translation to Zhao Nandi.

Zhao Nandi was stunned for a long time, unable to speak, looking at the densely packed translation.

She slowly looked at Elder Song, admiration overflowing in her eyes.

A Divine Text Master beyond the times!

So many of their Divine Text experts studied for four days and nights, unable to understand even the fifth word.

Yet, the translation was completed.

A torrent of admiration rose in Zhao Nandi as she shared it with other Divine Text experts.

The remaining Divine Text experts were dizzy with sudden happiness.

Building on Zhou Leng’s foundation, the Divine Text experts began to study earnestly and shared their opinions in the shared document.

Zhou Leng occasionally looked through it, learning from others because everyone was still groping in the dark with Divine Texts.

“Zhou Leng, come here.” Song Juesi called, and Zhou Leng went over.

The two continued discussing the translation content.

Song Juesi improved it with his extensive Martial Arts experience, while Zhou Leng improved it with his Divine Text knowledge.

The two researched for several days, still missing a part.

So they called Zhang Xinglie over.

Zhang Xinglie, less experienced than Song Juesi, and not as knowledgeable in Divine Text as Zhou Leng, but his talent and intuition were exceptionally strong.

After joining the discussion, he actually filled in the last gap.

“The understanding of ’Pervading the Universe’ is directly upward, which is incorrect, because my intuition, based on the context, suggests True Qi cannot operate that way.”

“Change ’universe’ to ’circle,’ and the True Qi operation changes from straight to circular, making it feasible. It’s a pity I’m not skilled enough, or I’d dare try it myself…”

Song Juesi nodded repeatedly, saying, “Not bad, not bad…”

Zhou Leng also said, “When I was translating, I felt something was wrong with this Divine Text, now I understand…”

The three each relied on experience, Divine Text, and talent, to fully deduce the “Star Gazing Technique.”

Each day, the three would record their research content in a shared document.

The Divine Text experts were not idle, always able to discover new issues and fill in minor imperfections.

Through combined efforts, five days later, they successfully translated the entire twelve words of the “Star Gazing Technique General Outline.”

Zhou Leng asked Elder Song not to study yet, walked to Master Wu, and using stuttering mental pronunciation, explained his understanding of the general outline in the simplest language, even with incomplete text.

Master Wu was no longer irritable and pointed out Zhou Leng’s errors with slow pronunciation.

Zhou Leng kept taking notes.

After pointing out, Master Wu asked Zhou Leng to revise his explanation, found mistakes, and guided him again.

Not only did he point out Martial Arts but also Divine Texts.

On just twelve words of Divine Text, Zhou Leng studied repetitively for three days and nights until Master Wu finally nodded.

“Though some parts are not well-understood, you can start cultivating.”

Zhou Leng bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Master Wu.

“As long as you cultivate well, I will hold nothing back in sharing my knowledge. Go now.”

Zhou Leng walked over to Zhang Xinglie and Song Juesi and shared the revised translation with them.

Song Juesi finished reading, sighed, and said, “As expected of the Starfield Sect’s Martial Arts, it is majestically profound and subtly intricate. This translation reads completely smoothly; if it is not perfect, it is because of our inability to comprehend.”

“Indeed, reading through this translation, it feels like breaking through a bamboo forest, like a waterfall cascading, unbroken and continuous, without any discomfort,” Zhang Xinglie said.

“Elder Song, we must trouble you,” Zhou Leng smiled and said.

“Duty calls.”

Song Juesi, fond of delving into Martial Arts, stared at the translation, reading it over and over.

He read it dozens of times, picked out puzzling parts, and asked Zhou Leng about them.

Guided by Master Wu, Zhou Leng often solved Song Juesi’s questions from a higher perspective.

There were still a few questions he couldn’t answer, which he noted down to ask Master Wu later.

As Song Juesi comprehended the new translation, Zhou Leng went to the Divine Text experts and gave them the new translation.

The Divine Text experts sacrificed their rest to study it.

From time to time, someone would ask questions, and Zhou Leng would answer them.

Gradually, the Divine Text experts started glancing at Zhou Leng from time to time.
