The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2951 - 2926: Outsmarted by Intelligence
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
Lin Bai naturally didn’t know that the White Cloud Tribe had already been exterminated by Deng Yuchun and several other strong ones together, and now Lin Bai had been away from the Qingyun Mountain Range for more than half a month.
Southern Continent, Zizhu Tribe.
The Zizhu Tribe is not a small tribe. Within the 72 Great Clans of the Southern Continent, it ranks mid-stream, even stronger than the Qinglong Clan where Lin Bai was before.
Within the Zizhu Tribe, Youlong Courtyard.
After Lin Bai, Ye Suxin, and Lin Ye left the Qingyun Tribe, they came to the Zizhu Tribe, spent some Spirit Liquid, and rented this Youlong Courtyard.
One reason is that Ye Suxin needs a quiet place to refine the Flowerless Flower.
Another reason is Lin Bai needs a place to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Skill on the Bone Fragment.
Sitting cross-legged in the Secret Chamber, a gigantic Bone Fragment as tall as a person floated in front of Lin Bai, covered in a dense mass of tadpole-like scripts, yet Lin Bai couldn’t decipher the meaning.
Lin Bai focused intently on the tadpole-like scripts on the Bone Fragment. After a moment, feeling fatigued, he closed his eyes, shook his head quietly, and sighed lightly, rubbing his forehead.
"Still haven’t figured it out?"
At this moment, Ye Suxin and Lin Ye walked into the Secret Chamber.
Lin Bai turned to look, his face slightly pale and weak. Upon seeing Ye Suxin, he smiled and said, "This ancient Martial Art is much harder to comprehend than I thought!"
Ye Suxin walked to the Bone Fragment, and said softly, "Because it’s from too distant a time, warriors who understood these scripts are almost extinct, so in the current Martial World, warriors who can read these scripts on the Bone Fragment are rare even on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"
"It’s only logical that you can’t yet grasp the mystery of the scripts on the Bone Fragment!"
"Don’t be disheartened, take your time."
Ye Suxin comforted him.
Upon hearing Ye Suxin’s words, Lin Bai’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a lot. He chuckled lightly, "Indeed, such ancient Martial Art must be approached slowly, without haste."
Ye Suxin approached the Bone Fragment, touched the scripts, and laughed, "These are ancient scripts, and now on the Southern Continent, it’s considered the closest place to the Primordial Era yet!"
"Perhaps on the current Southern Continent, there are Seniors who can recognize these scripts!"
"Since we are going to stay on the Southern Continent for a while, we can try to find Seniors who recognize these scripts."
Ye Suxin proposed.
Lin Bai nodded silently, "That’s all we can do, if we can decipher the mystery within these scripts, that would naturally be the best."
Ye Suxin laughed lightly, "Look at these tadpole-like scripts, not forming horizontal, vertical, or any readable form. It’s quite puzzling how ancient warriors invented these scripts."
Lin Bai chuckled bitterly, this was also the point of his curiosity.
What were those Martial Art Seniors thinking in the ancient times?
While Lin Bai and Ye Suxin were chatting, Lin Ye’s gaze was firmly fixed on the Bone Fragment, seemingly deep in thought.
But Lin Bai and Ye Suxin did not notice anything unusual about Lin Ye.
Lin Bai asked, "Have you refined the Flowerless Flower given to you?"
Ye Suxin nodded, "Can’t you see my complexion is a bit better?"
Lin Bai laughed, "Indeed, not as pale as before."
Looking at Ye Suxin’s pretty face, Lin Bai also showed a happy smile, but he then said, "However, I can also tell that one Flowerless Flower cannot completely heal your Divine Soul. You need more of this Spiritual Medicine!"
Ye Suxin nodded slightly, "No hurry, since we are still on the Southern Continent to explore, we can look slowly, best if it takes ten years, that would be wonderful!"
"Ten years?" Lin Bai smiled.
Ye Suxin mischievously smiled, "Yes, if looking for spiritual medicine on the Southern Continent takes ten years, then you’ll stay with me all those years."
Lin Bai said, "Even if your Divine Soul is healed, I would still accompany you!"
Ye Suxin replied, "That’s not certain."
Lin Bai smiled silently, looking at Ye Suxin, his gaze slightly deepened.
And at that moment.
Standing behind Lin Bai, Lin Ye suddenly unleashed a powerful force from his body, echoing throughout the Secret Chamber.
This sudden burst of energy startled Lin Bai, prompting him to quickly rise and turn to look at Lin Ye.
Lin Bai noticed Lin Ye’s intense focus on the tadpole-like scripts on the Bone Fragment, seemingly realizing something.
"What’s wrong with Lin Ye?" Ye Suxin asked seriously.
Lin Bai observed Lin Ye and then the Bone Fragment, and whispered, "Lin Ye seems to have realized the mystery within the scripts on the Bone Fragment, could this be the fool’s fortune?"
After a while, the aura bursting from Lin Ye gradually receded.
Lin Ye regained his senses, noticed Lin Bai and Ye Suxin looking at him, and chuckled awkwardly.
Lin Bai smiled and asked, "Lin Ye, what did you figure out?"
Lin Ye looked peculiarly at Lin Bai, awkwardly scratched his head, seemingly not understanding Lin Bai’s words.
Lin Bai then asked, "Can you understand the scripts on the Bone Fragment?"
Lin Bai pointed to the Bone Fragment.
Lin Ye looked at the Bone Fragment, then at Lin Bai.
Suddenly, Lin Ye walked over to Lin Bai, picked up a long stick from the corner.
Then, Lin Ye started to demonstrate with the stick in front of Lin Bai.
Both Lin Bai and Ye Suxin watched Lin Ye’s demonstration.
Especially Lin Bai, noticing the sword strokes Lin Ye was performing, they seemed somewhat familiar.
At this moment, Lin Bai’s mind seemed like it was struck open by a thunderbolt.
Looking at Lin Ye’s Sword Skill, Lin Bai again observed the tadpole-like scripts on the Bone Fragment.
After observing the scripts, Lin Bai turned back to Lin Ye.
"I understand now."
Lin Bai realized.
Ye Suxin asked, "Understand what?"
Lin Bai said, "We were overthinking things!"
"In fact, the tadpole-like scripts on the Bone Fragment, they’re not scripts at all!"
"They’re actually a sword path!"
Ye Suxin looked at Lin Bai, puzzled.
Lin Bai turned to the Bone Fragment, and whispered, "On this Bone Fragment, there are altogether seven hundred and twenty scripts, but they are seven hundred and twenty sword paths."
"Once you completely master all 72 sword paths, this will be the Dragon Slaying Skill!"
"In the ancient times, Martial Art Seniors probably didn’t know how to convey this Martial Technique in words, so they could only carve their sword paths down."
Ye Suxin exclaimed, "So, we don’t even need to understand these scripts, we just have to practice according to these tadpole-like paths?"
Lin Bai nodded and laughed, "Exactly, Lin Ye doesn’t understand any scripts, so when he sees these tadpole-like scripts, he didn’t overthink, which allowed him to directly see the essence of these scripts!"
"While we were preoccupied with what the scripts might mean!"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Bai laughed at himself.
Ye Suxin chuckled bitterly, "So we’re the victims of our own intelligence?"
