Chapter 974: Defensive Wall (II)
He flipped through the stacks carefully. The technique made no mention of its origins and was extremely concise.
Li Zhouwei was sharp and quickly deduced the truth. The original spell arts appended to the Heavenly Scripture of the Dimming Li Day were likely famous spell arts. Once used, they would almost certainly be recognized. Thus, Lu Jiangxian had rushed to replace them, carefully sifting through tens of thousands of techniques to find ones without obvious sect affiliations, resulting in the current version of the scripture.
As he continued to speculate, Li Shuwan hurriedly handed over the Houshu Golden Book. Li Zhouwei read it as well and praised, "What a difficult technique!"
The Whole Pill Dao was already incredibly hard. If it weren’t, Changtian Peak of the Azure Pond Sect wouldn’t have faced the extinction of its Dao lineage. That the Houshu Golden Book was a sixth-grade technique only added to its difficulty. Even Li Zhouwei was inwardly alarmed upon reading it, while Li Xuanxuan felt like he was reading a heavenly script. Li Xuanxuan understood every word separately, yet was completely lost when they were strung together.
The Houshu Golden Book didn’t have many appended techniques, There was only one fifth-grade escape spell called the Scattered White Falling Feathers, and a few ancient arts. Most of the text detailed various material transformations, shrouded in mystical language.
"Ah!" As he was reading, a dull boom sounded. A burst of fire flared up from Li Shuwan’s desk, startling the girl. Before she could speak, Li Zhouwei had already whisked her away and said with a frown, "What happened?"
White flames roared on the table, and several unknown caterpillars squirmed across the floor. Li Xuanxuan had already shielded Li Jiangqian, while Li Shuwan steadied herself and replied innocently, "Reporting to my lord... I was about to transcribe the spell... but after writing just the beginning... the paper caught fire on its own..."
"Oh?" Li Zhouwei froze in surprise.
Li Xuanxuan was even more astonished and murmured, "It seems the spell is of too high a grade... or perhaps connected to immortals in some way..."
"Not bad." A hint of anticipation surfaced in Li Zhouwei’s expression as he murmured, "Whole Pill... white fire... Shamanic Talisman Dao..."
