Chapter 32 Ice and Fire Genesis Gathering Rune (1/2)

Time in the Great Zhou Institute flowed extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Over this half a month, Zhou Yuan gradually grew accustomed to the training lifestyle in the A class. However, it was a pity that the Jade Spirit Waterfall training was no longer as effective after unblocking his third meridian channel. Though this was the case, his fourth meridian channel was gradually being unblocked with the aid of the quartz energy…

Completely opening the channel was only a matter of time.

On a certain day.

Zhou Yuan had just left the inner palace after finishing his breakfast when he caught sight of a certain pretty silhouette in the nearby flower park, causing his heart to tremble slightly.

The Jade Spirit Waterfall in the Great Zhou Institute would be open again today. However, the effectiveness of the Jade Spirit Waterfall had already fallen somewhat for Zhou Yuan as his body had likely grown accustomed to the quartz energy.

Hence, Zhou Yuan had to think of other ways to grow stronger.

“A Genesis Gathering Rune is drawn on my body every time I enter the Jade Spirit Waterfall. Big sis Yaoyao’s attainments in the art of Genesis Runes is extremely high and far surpasses the Genesis Rune teachers of the institute. I wonder if she knows of a more effective grade 1 Genesis Gathering Rune. If she does, my quartz energy absorption efficiency will rise to a higher level.” When his thoughts reached this point, Zhou Yuan’s eyes subconsciously brightened slightly, his pace growing quicker as he walked into the stone pavilion within the flower park.

Yaoyao gracefully stood in the stone pavilion. The tip of the Genesis Rune Brush in her hand moved to and fro on the scroll that had been laid out on the tablet. Her gorgeous and fair face was currently fully concentrated. This earnestly working appearance of hers gave off a special sort of charm.

Zhou Yuan quietly arrived at Yaoyao’s side and looked towards the scroll, only to discover that it was a landscape painting. The mountain range within weaved about like a snaking dragon, while the meandering river gleamed like real water under the sunlight.

Zhou Yuan’s expression gradually became serious as he observed the majestic work of art. A trace of amazement rose in his eyes when he realised that there were Genesis Rune strokes hidden within the painting.

The picture hid a very profound Genesis Rune!

This was definitely no low grade Genesis Rune. An icy sensation soaked Zhou Yuan’s entire body while he tried to feel the Genesis Rune as if he was facing some sort of terrible creature. Meanwhile, astonishing undulations slowly pulsed from the painting.

Zhou Yuan was overwhelmed with shock as he cried out in his heart, “This Genesis Rune has likely reached grade 3!”

Grade 3 Genesis Rune. Even Heaven Gate stage experts did not dare to underestimate one.

Moreover, the thing that shocked Zhou Yuan the most was that Yaoyao was able to blend the Genesis Rune in her landscape painting. From this, one could see just how deep her mastery of Genesis Runes went.

While Zhou Yuan was immersed in the Genesis Rune landscape painting, a small fair hand blocked his line of sight, allowing him to come back to his senses.

“Your current mastery of Genesis Runes has yet to reach that level. Falling too deeply into it will hurt your Spirit.” Yaoyao’s flat voice was transmitted into his ear.

Sure enough, Zhou Yuan felt a little dizzy after hearing this. He hastily turned away and sighed with admiration. “Big sis Yaoyao’s attainments in Genesis Runes are indeed amazing.”

He looked towards Yaoyao with eyes filled with curiosity. “May I ask what is the highest grade Genesis Rune big sis Yaoayao can currently draw?”

Normally speaking, grade 3 Genesis Runes were comparable to a Heaven Gate practitioner. If it was grade 4, even Zhou Yuan’s father, Zhou Qing, would have to be somewhat vigilant.

Unfortunately, even in the entire Great Zhou, the most skilled person in Genesis Runes that Zhou Yuan knew of was unable to draw a grade 4 Genesis Rune.

Yaoyao gently rolled up the painting in front of her as she offhandedly said, “For the time being, I can only draw grade 3 Genesis Runes. But if I make ample preparations, it might be possible to try grade 4.”

Zhou Yuan could not help but grin.The power of grade 3 Genesis Runes was able to match a Heaven Gate stage practitioner. In other words, Yaoyao might seem weak because she was unable to use Genesis Qi, but in actual combat, armed with the power of Genesis Runes, even a Heaven Gate stage practitioner would be unable to stop her.

“Can’t believe that master expects me to protect her. Just who exactly will be doing the protecting?” Zhou Yuan could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart.

As if she knew what Zhou Yuan was thinking about, Yaoyao glanced at him and said, “Grandpa Hei is not counting on the you of now. The one he hopes to rely on is the future you.”

Zhou Yuan’s heart shook slightly as he recalled the day Cang Yuan had sent Yaoyao and him away. Back then, Cang Yuan had clearly given off a feeling of urgency, as if an imminent danger was approaching that even he was not confident of dealing with.

Zhou Yuan probed, “Big sis Yaoyao, do you know of master’s origins?”

Cang Yuan possessed unfathomable strength. An unknown danger that even he was not sure he could overcome would surely be an extreme terror. Thus, Zhou Yuan wanted to know more such that he could prepare himself.

A vacant look emerge in Yaoyao’s pretty eyes when she heard this and she retrieved an ancient jade pendant from her clothes. A life-like seven-color fire lotus had been carved onto the pendant.

She stroked the pendant and gently shook her head as she replied in a tiny voice, “Grandpa Hei never told me anything.”

Zhou Yuan let out a bitter laugh. Cang Yuan and Yaoyao were undoubtedly filled with mystery that he was unable to investigate.

Seeing the somewhat depressed Yaoyao, Zhou Yuan did not dare to probe any further and hastily changed the topic. “Big sis Yaoyao, do you know the Genesis Gathering Rune?”

Yaoyao replied in an absent-minded manner, “The Genesis Gathering Rune is a very common grade 1 Genesis Rune. There is practically no need to ask.”
