Luo Chen, having achieved a stable cultivation realm, delves into a book detailing ancient scripts from various races. He seeks a way to record Divine Power, believing conventional methods failed due to insufficient information capacity. Inspired by the concept of advanced scripts like the "Gold Erosion Text," rumored to carry profound truths of the Great Dao, Luo Chen considers using it to inscribe his Divine Power Seed onto the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal, a technique previously hinted at by the Master of Wuyou Realm.

Luo Chen did not know where the Master of Wuyou Realm’s Golden Erosion Script came from.

But after experimenting with the text on the formation maps, he believed this script indeed held astonishing power!

Not only could it activate the formation map of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, but he had also seen a few Golden Erosion Scripts on the White Bone Altar of the Corpse Demon.

Therefore, before leaving the Returning Ruins, upon attaining the Chaos Undying Body, Luo Chen used the Golden Erosion Script on the bone wheel atop his head to engrave the words "No Self, No Person, No Sentient Being."

This was one of the main guidelines of his martial practice, "Chaos Undying Scripture."

Whether engraving it with the Golden Erosion Script would be effective, Luo Chen still did not know.

But at least, there hadn’t been any mistakes so far.

Now falling upon the immortal law divine power, Luo Chen also wished to try this.

However, there was a difficult obstacle in front of him.

That being he knew only a very limited amount of Golden Erosion Script.

The Master of Wuyou Realm initially taught him merely a hundred or so words, specifically used to activate the formation map of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.

Hoping to use these hundred or so words to gather a large number of divine powers he mastered would likely be beyond his ability.

"It seems I need to pay attention to collecting information on this topic in the future."

Luo Chen sighed, carrying with him the "Ten Thousand Words Atlas" as he headed for the exit.

This book greatly inspired him; simply scanning it quickly was not enough. He needed to read it more during his free time, perhaps gaining other insights.

The cultivator responsible for recording copies in the Book Collection Pavilion had already been replaced.

The cultivation level was still at the Nascent Soul Stage, and the cultivator was quite old.

Clearly, this was Su Ling Sect’s way of settling older cultivators.

It was not neglect, but more a way of allowing them to make the most of their remaining energy, especially for those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators without disciples or bloodline descendants. Spending their late years in the Transmission Hall allowed them to experience the vibrant youth of young cultivators coming and going each day.

Luo Chen had some affection for the previous Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

As he waited for the copy to be recorded, he casually asked a question.

The answer was somewhat poignant.

"Senior Brother Li has already passed away; it was some thirty years ago on a night, indeed a timely death!"

Luo Chen sighed with regret.

That old cultivator had warned him several times, fearing he would bite off more than he could chew and go astray.

He was indeed a kind elder.

But such is the path of cultivation; not advancing means retreating, and even if one continues to move forward, failing to cross one great realm chasm after another ultimately leads only to a handful of yellow earth.

"Alright, the "Ten Thousand Words Atlas" copy has been recorded; keep it safe."

As he handed the Jade Slip to Luo Chen, the cultivator abruptly smiled and said: "Junior Brother Xuan Luo is too engrossed in reading; there are people outside who have been waiting for you for quite some time."

Luo Chen appropriately displayed a look of surprise, thanked him, and then walked out of the Book Collection Pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, under an ancient tree large enough for five people to embrace, a resolute-looking female cultivator was leaning against the tree. As Luo Chen came out, she opened her eyes.

"Junior Brother Xuan Luo?"

"Senior Sister Jiang Huang."

"Let’s go together!"

Luo Chen nodded and left the Transmission Hall together with Jiang Huang.

Inside the Book Collection Pavilion, the old cultivator gazed at the disappearing silhouettes of the young man and woman and smacked his lips, expressing a sentiment:

"Youth is wonderful!"

...

Having left the Transmission Hall.

Jiang Huang explained her purpose.

Learning that the Demon Suppression Trial was soon to begin and that there was to be a final training session in the Su King’s Palace, Luo Chen was a bit surprised.

Then he rode a glint towards the direction of Su King’s Palace.

Jiang Huang did the same, following beside Luo Chen.

Their conversation was calm; they were neither overly familiar nor distant.

Just like normal senior and junior disciples.

However, Jiang Huang’s gaze towards Luo Chen showed a confusion quite incongruous with her resolute face.

A long while.

As they approached Su King’s Palace, Jiang Huang suddenly spoke.

"Junior Brother Xuan Luo, was it truly me who saved you from the Poluo Demon Clan?"

Luo Chen did not turn his head, laughing, "Senior Sister, have you not fully recovered your divine sense yet? Apart from you, who else could have unleashed the Heavenly Waterfall Sword Qi on the corpse of the Poluo Demon Clan? Surely not our master, who was also in Moyu Space at the time?"

Jiang Huang was speechless.

The Heavenly Waterfall Sword Technique was not easily cultivated, valuing essence over form, taught to females but not males, heavily emphasizing magic power attributes and cultivator disposition.

Among the disciples on Jade Spring Peak, even adding Yaoxi and the Master, only three had been able to cultivate this sword technique.

She was one of the three.

Liu Muchan, a rogue cultivator with a steely disposition, was only recently taught this technique.

Though Liu Muchan also entered the Moyu Space at that time, with her level of cultivation, it was certainly impossible.

So was it truly her last bit of consciousness, in a moment of crisis, that drew her sword to save Junior Brother Xuan Luo?

But why did her subconscious not think so?

Moreover, from Junior Brother Xuan Luo came a faint sense of both familiarity and safety?

Luo Chen flew ahead, unaware of Jiang Huang’s current thoughts, but through her bewildered and doubtful tone, he vaguely understood where the issue lay.

He had controlled Jiang Huang at the time to perform the Heavenly Waterfall Sword Technique, slaying the Poluo Demon Clan.

He then used Mirror Flower, Water Moon, his adept soul technique, to construct illusory memories for her.

This should have been foolproof.

But to prevent discovery by Su Ling Sect’s Divine Transformation stage and stronger cultivators, he only brushed the surface without establishing strong divine souls.

While these illusory memories could influence Jiang Huang temporarily, they could not affect her permanently.

Especially as her condition improved, she would increasingly feel something was amiss.

However, Luo Chen did not mind.

He only needed to muddle through the current situation.
