Chapter 204 The Unremarkable Little Sect (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Chapter 204 The Unremarkable Little Sect (Seeking Monthly Votes)
On the vast island.
Inside the Law Archive Pavilion.
Elder Bai found an old book from some unknown corner.
This book was filled with the traces of years gone by, as if it had existed for an inconceivable amount of time, its pages yellowed with age, as though they had witnessed history after history.
"Does this book contain records of the Wu Clan?"
Wu Yue, standing in the loft, asked aloud.
Elder Bai ignored Wu Yue and simply opened the book.
Leaving Wu Yue stunned.
After all, he was the Leader of the Cultivators' Alliance.
Was there no respect for him, not even a word in reply?
But then thinking of this elder's temperament, which had always been like this, Wu Yue let it go.
If it weren't for the elder's temperament, he wouldn't have been able to transfer the other to this branch of the Law Archive Pavilion.
Ye Luo and the others, on the other hand, didn't say anything and silently gathered around, eager to see the contents of the book.
But they were baffled upon approaching.
The pages of the book were filled with some unknown script.
It was certainly not the script of this era.
And not of the Ancient Times either.
Zhang Han, knowledgeable and well-read, recognized many scripts from the Ancient Times.
The script recorded in this book was definitely not from the Ancient Times.
Ye Luo and the other three, unable to understand the script, could only stand to the side and quietly wait for the elder's next move.
Finally, after nearly the time it took for an incense stick to burn,
Elder Bai stopped his movements, and the book was flipped to a worn page.
On this page, there was only half a sheet, on which was a rune of some unknown meaning, and at the edge where the half-page was torn, there was the beginning of another rune.
"It's here!" Stay updated via empire
Elder Bai pointed to this page in the book and said loudly.
"May I ask the elder, what does this rune mean?"
Ye Luo took a step forward and inquired.
Upon hearing this,
Elder Bai glanced at Ye Luo and moved his hand away from the book, walking to the side as if pondering something.
After a moment, he finally began to speak slowly.
"This book was found by Poor Dao in the ruins of a very ancient site. When the book was first obtained, it was already in this condition, worn and tattered. Since beginning my cultivation, I have always been very curious about Ancient Times and have dedicated myself to studying everything about that era."
"The book is very old. At first, instinctively, I thought this book was a record of Ancient Times, but upon further inspection, I found that it was not."
"After much deliberation, Poor Dao realized that the era in which this book existed might even precede Ancient Times. I boldly speculate! There might be an era even before Ancient Times that simply has no records!"
Having said this,
Elder Bai paused, thought for a moment, then continued.
"But in today's Cultivation Realm, just a speculation, who would believe it? So, Poor Dao could only join with a few friends to attempt to translate the meaning of the script in this book. This page, this character, it means 'Wu'!"
After Elder Bai finished speaking, his gaze was firmly fixed on that tattered old book.
Upon hearing this revelation,
the four disciples of the Wayless Sect couldn't help but show their astonishment.
Does this mean that the Wu Clan really existed?
And they existed before Ancient Times?!
Could this imply…
That the era in which our Respected Master truly dominated was not Ancient Times, but a time before Ancient Times?!
A chilling thought.
The thought made all four pupils constrict.
As if envisioning their master walking through the endless years.
"By the way, where did you hear about this Wu affair?"
Elder Bai suddenly asked.
"That… I cannot say, but, elder, I am very curious, do you think it's possible that someone from before Ancient Times has survived to the present day?"
Zhang Han asked thoughtfully.
"You must not have woken up yet? It's uncertain if there were such people even before the Ancient Times, and you're suggesting that someone from before the Ancient Times has survived until now? Why don't you claim instead that someone from before the Ancient Times ascended and has now descended back to the mortal world?"
Elder Bai kept a straight face, completely disregarding the identities of Zhang Han and the others.
Or perhaps, he didn't know who Zhang Han and the others were at all, only knowing they came with Wu Yue.
Upon hearing this,
Zhang Han was not annoyed, still wearing a faint, warm smile on his face as his gaze focused on the book beside him.
"Then, may I ask if there are any other translations in this book?"
Zhang Han continued to inquire.
"Not many, most of this book simply cannot be translated, only a small part has been deciphered. For example, page thirty-four is the most complete, with characters that signify Gonggong. According to what you said, if 'Wu' represents a clan, then this Gonggong should also be from a clan!"
Elder Bai sounded like he was answering, but also as if he were muttering to himself.
On the other side, Zhang Han and Ye Luo exchanged glances with each other.
They had a bold idea.
They would wait until their Respected Master returned.
Perhaps they could try to get some information from their Respected Master.
See if their Respected Master truly existed before the times of Ancient Times.
"Now that we have obtained the information, Alliance Master Wu, we will take our leave,"
Ye Luo immediately proposed leaving.
"Hmm... Okay, then. Thank you, the four fellow Daoists. If Senior Chu returns, please remember to inform me,"
Wu Yue, still somewhat bewildered, responded as he heard the four disciples from the Wayless Sect were going back to their mountain peak.
Ye Luo and the others nodded in agreement.
They were just about to leave the Law Archive Pavilion.
Suddenly, a ray of light flew from the distance, entering the Law Archive Pavilion and stopping in front of Wu Yue.
Wu Yue reached out to catch the ray of light.
A piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.
"Huh? Senior Chu has returned?"
Wu Yue said subconsciously.
As soon as he said this,
Ye Luo and the three others, who were about to exit the Law Archive Pavilion, froze in place.
Their Respected Master had returned?
...
Meanwhile,
At the residential peak of the Wayless Sect,
Ao Yu had already brought Chu Yuan and Su Xi back to this place.
After returning,
Chu Yuan sent Ao Yu to cool his heels elsewhere, then he walked into the grand hall with Su Xi.
Su Xi followed Chu Yuan into the grand hall in a daze, her dirty little face filled with shock.
Weren't they supposed to be a mundane sect?
First riding on dragons, then these floating islands...
What exactly is her Respected Master...
"Su Xi, right? Then as your master, I'll call you Xi'er. This place is where the Cultivation Realm event is held; it's not the site of our Sect. After the event is over, I'll take you back to the Sect,"
Chu Yuan said nonchalantly.
In front of his disciple, he still maintained a perfect image.
"May I dare to ask... Respected Master! What exactly is our Sect..."
Su Xi's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
"Our Sect? Just an ordinary small sect, nothing noteworthy,"
Chu Yuan, not wanting to ride on the coattails of the East State Hidden Sect anymore, quickly said.
Su Xi became somewhat silent upon hearing this.
Do ordinary small sects ride dragons...?
