Chapter 203 Four Saint Runes (1/2)

“No wonder it’s so amazing.” A long while later, Zhou Yuan gradually returned to his senses as he sighed in amazement.

This Saint Rune was able to find the vulnerabilities in numerous Genesis techniques, allowing him to break the opponents techniques with the minimum amount of power. Such an ability was practically cheating.

In the previous battle with Wu Huang, if not for the Saint Rune’s miraculous power, Zhou Yuan would have had to pay an even steeper price to obtain victory.

Hence why Zhou Yuan was struck by a sudden flash of understanding when he heard it had originated from the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.

“This Saint Rune is called the Decoder Saint Rune, and has the ability to find the vulnerabilities in all things. It’s also one of the four Saint Runes that I split off from the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.” Patriarch Cangxuan smiled faintly.

“One of the four split off Saint Runes?” Zhou Yuan quickly realised the key words.

Patriarch Cang Xuan nodded as he elaborated, “When I was ambushed by the great powers of the Sacred race, they tried to take the Cangxuan Saint Stamp I controlled. However, they never imagined that I was already long prepared for such a scenario. I had sealed the main vessel, while splitting off the four Saint Runes on it, weakening its power and preventing the Sacred race from finding its location.”

Zhou Yuan licked his lips inside. So there were a total of four of these mysterious Saint Runes.

The Decoder Saint Rune was already so amazing. Zhou Yuan wondered what kind of powers the other three possessed.

Patriarch Cang Xuan grinned as he gazed at Zhou Yuan, and suddenly said in a serious voice, “Little lad, I see that you have fantastic talent, and have an important mission for you.”

Zhou Yuan could sense that something was wrong. “Elder, you can’t be thinking of asking me to find the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, right?”

“Smart lad.” Praised patriarch Cang Xuan.

Zhou Yuan immediately began shaking his head. “Elder you think too highly of me. I’m only a little Heaven Gate stage practitioner, how can I possibly have the qualifications to even touch such an ultimate treasure!”

He was not brain damaged. Sure, the Cangxuan Saint Stamp was an ultimate treasure, but Zhou Yuan knew that it was also akin to a scalding hot sweet potato. Let alone the Sacred race, even Sacred Palace was already an unimaginable behemoth in his eyes.

If he were to come to possess the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, and Sacred Palace somehow detected it. The disaster that followed would definitely be beyond his ability.

“Unambitious brat!”

Patriarch Cang Xuan glared at Zhou Yuan. However, the former was a little surprised that Zhou Yuan was able to reject him. After all, any ordinary person would have long lost any semblance of rationality after hearing about this ultimate treasure, only greed left in them as they desperately tried to think of how to get their hands on it.

In a certain way, he did admire Zhou Yuan for having such rationality.

“Brat, don’t you want to protect her?” Patriarch Cang Xuan shot a glance to the side at Yaoyao.

There was no hesitation in Zhou Yuan’s voice as he answered, “That is my promise to master Cang Yuan.”

Patriarch Cang Xuan merely let out an icy chuckle. ‘But you now know what kind of person she is, right? Do you dare to provoke her enemies? Do you think the likes of you can protect her?”

Zhou Yuan calmly replied, “I do not know whether I will be able to protect her, but I will do everything in my power. I promised master Cang Yuan that the only way anyone will be able to hurt her is by stepping over my corpse.”

By the side, Yaoyao’s bright eyes seem to swirl a little. She cast a casual glance at him as her red lips curled slightly downwards. “For the past one to two years, I’ve been the one protecting you.”

Although she said so, there was a glimmer of a smile in her pupils.

Zhou Yuan’s face turned red as he tried to explain, “You’ve gotta give me time to grow stronger!”

“That’s a little more like it.” Patriarch Cang Xuan chuckled before he continued, “However, I have to tell you that if the Cangxuan Saint Stamp lands in the hands of Sacred Palace, the Sacred Palace master would become the new master of Cangxuan Heaven. When that happens, the range of his senses will grow beyond your imaginable. In fact… he may even be able to discover Yaoyao.”

“In addition, because you’ve already obtained one of the Saint Runes, the first agenda on the Sacred Palace master’s list after obtaining the Cangxuan Saint Stamp would be to find the four Saint Runes, and allow the stamp to regain its full power.”

“And you… will definitely be the first person in his crosshairs.”

Zhou Yuan’s expression could not help but change. It had clearly yet to strike him that the Sant Rune was also a scalding hot sweet potato.

“Elder, didn’t you say that the Cangxuan Saint Stamp was sealed by you and no one will be able to find it!”

Patriarch Cang Xuan smiled faintly. “It was indeed sealed by me, but Sacred Palace has never stopped searching for it. The Sacred Palace master is not useless either, and at this rate, he will be able to sense it sooner or later.”
