"I was so foolish. I once saw similar characters while exploring the Void Ruins, but I simply thought learning them was temporarily useless and gave up. I should have... studied them more. I was so foolish..."
Song Yan glanced at Hua Linglong. He naturally knew Hua Linglong had also sensed the Righteous Dao aura of the "Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace" and had begun to disdain evil. Yet the whispered thoughts indicated closeness, so he consoled her, saying, "Stirring up trouble isn't necessarily a good thing. If you could truly understand that stone inscription, it might not be a blessing."
Unable to taste the grapes, we naturally say they're sour.
In fact, he also wanted to have a look.
After all, just one look at the stone inscription was enough to associated it with the scene of "Ghost Gates Opening, White Bones Haunting".
Even if he didn't study it, having something at the bottom of the chest for emergencies wouldn't hurt.
Song Yan had a sudden thought, sending a mind message, "Linglong, is the 'Dragon Burial Law' yours or Di Cunxin's?"
Hua Linglong replied through thought: "I found it in the void, and it's been with the Good Corpse ever since. Later, Di Cunxin thought the cultivation technique could make you kill the Celestial Demon Dragon for him, so he gave it to you.
Perhaps he knew this technique couldn't be practiced, so he added a bit of temptation at the beginning, thinking you might get caught, but... how could Brother Song possibly fall for it."
Song Yan was taken aback and said, "So it really was you who found it in the void?"
Hua Linglong said, "Accurately speaking, it was in the depths of the void ruins from the Ancient Era."
Recalling slightly, she continued, "Looking back now, back then, the neighboring level-five cultivation profound land had just been utterly destroyed, otherwise... I wouldn't have had the chance to see the Netherworld soil leaving just in time."
Song Yan asked, "Do you know more information about this 'Dragon Burial Law'?"
Hua Linglong said, "This technique is too sinister, and the necessary resources are impossible to obtain. I handed it to the Good Corpse, hoping she could figure it out if given the chance. However... it ended up being given to you by Di Cunxin through the Good Corpse's hand, wanting to borrow a knife to kill a dragon. I'm not too clear about the rest.
However, it seems that the transcription of the Dragon Tomb Inscription referred to in the 'Dragon Burial Law', and possibly the Stone Eating Syndrome, might also be a method for cultivating Little Celestial Dao Characters.
Existing in the ruins of the level-five Cultivation Profound Land without perishing, there must be a reason behind it.
Brother Song, perhaps this 'Dragon Burial Law' is our chance.
We might as well enter the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace first, whether this Sword Palace is good or evil, we can't discern, and whether we are seen as good or bad can't be discerned either. With this cultivation technique as a backup, we'll surely have an extra path."
Song Yan coughed lightly, no longer transmitting thought but rather said, "Linglong, how can you covet such evil techniques? Once in the Sword Palace, one ought to single-mindedly seek the sword. Can't you see through past matters? It's time to turn back! Stop it, Linglong!"
Hua Linglong: ??????
She was stunned to see Song Yan suddenly take out a Jade Scroll, happily heading towards the manipulation layer at the very top of the ancient ship.
Hua Linglong: ...
"Brother Song, you..."
After speaking, Hua Linglong sighed softly, showing a thoughtful expression, then apologetically said, "Perhaps Brother Song is right, past matters should indeed be let go."
...
...
Ancient Ship Manipulation Layer.
Song Yan respectfully presented the Jade Scroll, which held the 'Dragon Burial Law', and then said, "Senior Sister, I accidentally obtained this Jade Scroll in my original world, it is exceedingly rare. However, since the day I drank the soup you gifted, my mind has been clear, and I find this item vile, hence wishing to discard it.
But, I recalled the skeleton of the dragon in the Sea of Suffering and the Celestial Dragon Corpse, and thought this scroll might have some inexplicable connection with dragons, which might be useful to our Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, therefore... sigh... Excuse my disrespectful presentation to Senior Sister."
Reacher glanced with a seemingly smile.
Ning Yunmiao then drew the Jade Scroll over with Divine Sense, her expression changing dramatically to anger, "Evil object!"
So saying, she transferred it to Reacher, beside her.
Reacher took a look, his smile swiftly turned into a serious expression, and he asked in a deep voice, "Song Yan, where did you obtain this item?"
Song Yan candidly explained that he had come by the Jade Scroll from the ruins of the level-five Cultivation Profound Land.
Ning Yunmiao furrowed her brows, "That female cultivator you're protecting still intends to cultivate this technique?"
Song Yan pleaded, "I beg Senior Sister to also bestow her a bowl of soup, to cleanse her mind."
Ning Yunmiao considered for a moment, raised her hand, and released a light dot wrapped around a bowl of "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup".
Song Yan received it, thanked her, and then curiously asked, "Senior Sister, what exactly is this evil object?"
Ning Yunmiao rose and stood before the void.
Her power reached the heavens, yet she wore hemp clothes and grass shoes; as for her all-too-ordinary appearance... Song Yan was certain it was deliberate. After all, when one could change the world, their appearance could naturally be however one wished. Looking plain and unremarkable was simply Ning Yunmiao's deliberate act to hide her beauty.
Song Yan naturally followed.
Ning Yunmiao said, "Little Celestial Dao Characters actually have another name, called... Talisman.
The cultivation in this 'Dragon Burial Law' should be a kind of Forbidden Talisman.
Some say there is a link between star calamities and Forbidden Talismans.
In short, these things are harmful to others and oneself, it's ominous to touch them."
"Talisman?"
Song Yan nodded slowly, saying, "Senior Sister, I've learned a lot."
Ning Yunmiao suddenly said harshly, "If ever I find you've secretly cultivated such unscrupulous things, no matter if you run to the ends of the earth, I will personally make sure to slay you!"
Song Yan was stunned, unexpectedly looking at Ning Yunmiao.
No one had ever said such words to him before.
He felt a strange and complex emotion rising within, then bowed with respect, deeply saying, "I, your junior, will never touch such things."
Ning Yunmiao's expression finally softened, she raised her hand to produce another Jade Scroll, and handed it over, "We're not far from the Sect, take a look at this Jade Scroll first, learning the Star Language can save some time."
