400 Translated Heritage (1/2)

Sometime later, all the scrolls and books within the secret room were successfully copied and stored in the Archive.

Maya was the first to connect to the Archive to search the newly recorded information and pick out a book for herself to read. However, after a moment, she was quickly angered.

”What the hell? Where there is not a single novel here! They are cultivation techniques and battle skills! Leon, how dare you trick me?!” Maya threw a tantrum.

Leon laughed and said, ”Oh, is that so? That is unfortunate. How did I trick you? I said there might be novels among them. I did not say that there are. It is you who believe that there was. But seeing how certain you are, it seems you can read them all?”

”So, what about it?” Maya pouted with puffed cheeks in her child form.

”Can you translate them for me?”

”No!”

Being rejected so firmly by Maya, Leon could only smile wryly.

Although he understood the reason for her behavior, he could not help but feel that she was becoming more like a child despite her archaic age. He remembered that she still needed an astronomical amount of energy to fully recover.

Leon shook his head.

That aside, with his strong foundations in the runic knowledge, it was still possible for him to translate the ancient runic text. However, the difference between him and Maya translating the ancient text is worlds apart in efficiency.

Maya would be able to complete everything within a few breaths while he would need to take time translating rune for word one by one before guessing the overall meaning of each passage.

Leon entered the Whitespace and accessed the Archive before picking out a random scroll from the pile of new copies recorded.

However, the moment he opened the scroll, he was surprised to find that it was not written in the runic language he was expecting but the ancient language used by the denizens of the Divine Realm.

”Maya, this is…”

”Hmph.”

Leon smiled and said no more. The artifact spirit was surprisingly cooperative. Although she said one thing, she did another.

He started to suspect whether the reason she refuses to teach him better techniques is actually because she had lost most of her memories and did not remember any other good techniques to teach him.

Leon quickly refocused his attention on the scroll.

The original scroll was made of white wood, and the runic texts were written in the blood of an unknown beast that was possibly a God beast if the scroll truly belonged to the primordial era of gods and devils.

[Immortal Meridian Tempering].

Leon immediately glowered with interest. Just the word 'Immortal' in its name alone was enough to make it sound extraordinary.

”Sure enough, these techniques are actually from the primordial era of gods and devils! This is one hell of a discovery! This one is a body forging method for meridian tempering. The main requirement is… True Grandmist Energy?”

Leon furrowed his brows slightly before browsing the other books and scrolls.

[Everlasting Blood Mantra]

[Indestructible Bone Transformation Method]

[Archaic Flesh Refining Technique]

[Godfiend Body Forging Method]

[Divine Soul Refinement]

[Star God's Finger Art]

[Overlord Spear Art]

[Sun God's Fiery Dance]

[Devil Emperor's Tome of Darkness]

[Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity]

…

He found numerous body, soul, and energy cultivation methods, techniques, battle skills belonging to both gods and devils. He took a quick scan through each one of them and found two common points.

”All these methods, techniques, battle skills have a fundamental requirement for True Grandmist Energy before it can be practiced… Moreover, all of them are incomplete… I cannot find a single complete method, technique, or battle skill.”
