Hearing Qin Yanyang ask this, Tong Yunshu shook her head and said, "I couldn’t understand them. I think they might also find it difficult to understand our language. Communicating could be troublesome, but through Rune Tao, we can conduct simple communication exchanges, at least to find out why they’ve come here."
Qin Yanyang was surprised, "Rune Tao can also be used as a language for communication?"
Yang Fei and Zhuge Cang also looked at Tong Yunshu in astonishment. Both were considered adept in Rune Tao, yet couldn’t fathom how to communicate using it.
Tong Yunshu said, "Based on the meanings that different combinations of runes can express, we can try to communicate."
Yang Fei’s eyes lit up.
Zhuge Cang pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, clapping his hands and laughing, "Indeed, haha, why didn’t I think of that? The effect achieved through special combinations of runes can convey certain meanings, so those adept in Rune Tao in the opposing faction can understand. Simple communication is indeed possible."
Qin Yanyang was delighted, "If it can truly be done, we should give it a try."
Suddenly, Zhu Tianshou said, "My concern is, once they know we also understand Rune Tao, and that Earth has cultivators with certain capabilities, might they view this as a threat, leading to unnecessary trouble."
Everyone hadn’t considered this, and froze for a moment.
After a brief contemplation, Tong Yunshu shook her head and said, "Grandfather, this shouldn’t be the case, right? We just want to communicate with them. When they find out Earth’s cultivators also understand Rune Tao, they might even offer some help. Don’t think these Outer Domain cultivators are all bad; yesterday, it was our fighter jets that first approached them and made them feel threatened, triggering the conflict between both sides. But today, they descended to Australia’s lower skies yet didn’t make any violent moves towards Australia."
Everyone silently nodded.
Based on today’s observations, the people on that Ghost Ship from the Outer Domain indeed did not show a reckless murderous side.
It seems like Earth humans are too tense themselves, always thinking that when Outer Domain civilizations come to Earth, they are here to annihilate or plunder.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Let’s observe for a while; as long as they don’t actively massacre Earth humans, we shouldn’t provoke them. If we find they are friendly, we can try to communicate and see their purpose in coming here. If possible, obtaining higher cultivation methods from them would be great news for Earth’s cultivation realm."
Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking he made a lot of sense.
Tong Yunshu said to Qin Yanyang, "Can I take a picture to keep this scene?"
She pointed at the monitor screen showing a blurry rune after being paused.
Qin Yanyang said, "Of course you can."
Tong Yunshu took out her phone and snapped a photo.
Then she spoke to the personnel in the monitoring room, "If you capture similar runes again, please keep them, thank you."
Those people glanced at Qin Yanyang, saw him nod, and immediately agreed.
Tong Yunshu left the monitoring room.
After returning to her room, she carefully studied the somewhat hazy and blurry rune for a long time, then took out paper and a pen to try drawing the rune.
However, after attempting more than ten times, her mental state was greatly taxed, with her forehead aching terribly, yet she still couldn’t draw it out. Find the newest release on novel·fire.net
She was secretly shocked and murmured, "It doesn’t make sense. I clearly have a deep impression of this rune in my mind, so it should be easy to draw with a single stroke. Why can’t I ever finish it?"
"Could it be that this rune is too profound, too powerful, beyond my current understanding?"
She quietly nurtured her state of mind, rejuvenated herself, reached her best condition, and continued trying to write the rune.
In the evening during dinner, Yang Fei noticed that Tong Yunshu was still hiding in her room and hadn’t come out, so he went to call her.
He found piles of paper at her feet, all filled with half-drawn runes.
At least more than a hundred sheets.
He looked at Tong Yunshu, only to see her writing vigorously again.
As she wrote the rune, Yang Fei was stunned to discover that Tong Yunshu was surrounded by a faint aura.
This was charm talisman, a special magnetic field unique to Rune Tao.
In the void, a mysterious force seemed to be subtly mobilized.
In the past, such a situation occurred briefly when Tong Yunshu recited the sounds of those runes, mobilizing Rune Tao forces.
But now, she was merely writing a rune, yet a dense charm talisman force emerged around her, truly astonishing Yang Fei.
He took a deep breath, nervously watching Tong Yunshu, not even daring to breathe heavily for fear of disturbing her.
After a moment, the talisman paper Tong Yunshu was writing suddenly tore with a rustling sound. Her writing motion ceased as a result, and she froze in place, seemingly having completely forgotten all information about the rune, unable to continue writing.
Frustrated and dejected, she threw down the brush angrily, exclaiming, "Failed again!"
Yang Fei hurriedly went to embrace her from behind, gently comforting, "Don’t rush, don’t rush, don’t let it harm your health. You have no idea how captivating you looked just now, Yunshu. You know, when you were writing that rune, your surroundings were enveloped in charm talisman power, looking so sacred."
Tong Yunshu was momentarily taken aback, turned to look at him and asked, "Really?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Indeed, I wouldn’t lie."
Tong Yunshu doubtfully asked, "Truly? Why didn’t I notice anything?"
Yang Fei replied, "You were probably too engrossed in writing the rune, so you didn’t realize."
Tong Yunshu pondered for a moment, picked up the brush, and began writing again.
The moment she thought about the structure of that rune in her mind, she noticed a strange fluctuation in the void.
This was the mystical fluctuation that could only be perceived after comprehending the true essence of Rune Tao.
Tong Yunshu felt it, as did Yang Fei.
Moreover, this time, with Yang Fei closely connected to Tong Yunshu, he joyfully discovered that at this moment his understanding and insight of Rune Tao had significantly improved.
His heart stirred, joyously saying, "Yunshu, do you feel that your understanding of Rune Tao seems to have strengthened now?"
Tong Yunshu, reminded by him, thought carefully, and her eyes lit up, "I have this feeling. Every rune you taught me can vividly flash in my mind at any time, and also, that rune from the mysterious spaceship appears clearly too. But... the strange thing is, why can’t I write it down?"
Yang Fei’s mind also surfaced with the peculiar rune from the ship, but his recognition of this rune was much more vague than Tong Yunshu’s.
Yet at this moment, influenced by the charm talisman aura emanating from Tong Yunshu, he suddenly remembered seeing a similar rune before.
Ah yes, the Six Changes Wood Box containing the Fusang Wood.
With this thought, his eyes lit up, "Yunshu, wait a moment, I have something to show you."
