Yang Fei followed the steps from last time to open the Six Changes Wooden Box, rearranging the six rune symbols in sequence and placing them in their respective positions.
After dragging the last rune over, a golden light flashed across the box, and it opened.
However, the Fusang Wood inside had already been removed, leaving the box empty.
Tong Yunshu fell into a contemplative state, seemingly trying to recall Yang Fei’s previous actions and ponder why these runes had to be arranged in this order.
Yang Fei said, "Yun Shu, have you noticed that each of these six rune symbols has its own power attribute?"
Tong Yunshu was startled and looked at Yang Fei in confusion, "Power attribute? What do you mean?"
Yang Fei said, "Take this rune for example, it represents the Water Attribute. When I dragged it, I could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy being predominantly water-based."
Tong Yunshu looked at Yang Fei in surprise and asked, "Water attribute?"
"Yes, the Water Attribute. Didn’t you feel the humidity in the air increase significantly when I illuminated this rune? That’s the reason the Power Elements are transformed into the Water Attribute," Yang Fei explained.
Tong Yunshu felt a sense of enlightenment and pointed at one of the runes, asking, "What about this one?"
Yang Fei captured the ancient rune with strong telekinesis and tapped on it. The rune came to life as if called by some force, and could be dragged freely within the array formed inside the Six Changes Wooden Box.
Yang Fei did not drag it, merely kept it activated, maintaining this state.
Tong Yunshu soon felt the surrounding air become dry and said, "Is this rune representing the Fire Attribute?"
Yang Fei tapped each of the remaining three runes in sequence.
"The Power Elements seem to come from underground, this is the Earth Attribute?"
"The air is filled with vitality, as if this box is about to come alive. This represents the Wood Attribute, the element of life?"
"This aura is the hardest to perceive, it seems metallic, yet it might be stirring the Power of thunder and lightning. Is this the Gold Attribute rune?"
Tong Yunshu, with Yang Fei’s guidance, sensed each of the five ancient runes that could condense the Five Elements Attributes.
She was both surprised and delighted, pointing to the final rune, "And this one? What does it represent?"
Yang Fei tapped the sixth rune, the power elements in the void calmed down, and nothing happened.
Tong Yunshu frowned and said, "It seems useless."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "Indeed, it appears useless, but the box needs all five elements’ runes to merge in a unique sequence to open. So it must be useful, with the greatest effect, yet we haven’t discovered its secret."
Tong Yunshu nodded silently, "Since it’s an ancient rune, it must have great efficacy."
Yang Fei said, "You should keep this and study it well. Once you comprehend these runes, your talisman capabilities will soar."
Tong Yunshu blushed, "It’s not that easy. You always say I’m a Talisman Dao genius, but despite my prolonged research, I feel like there’s little progress."
Yang Fei said speechlessly, "You’ve been dedicated to studying the Talisman Dao for just a few months and even managed to perform instant teleportation, yet you say there’s no progress? Cultivation or Talisman Arrays, neither are achieved overnight."
Tong Yunshu nodded, "I know, don’t worry. My cultivation talent isn’t like Qin Yanyang’s; Talisman Dao and Arrays are where I can surpass her, and I won’t give up."
Yang Fei clicked his tongue.
Talking about this has become a comparison.
But perhaps this is the powerful motivation for Tong Yunshu to study Talisman Dao and Arrays diligently, Yang Fei did not try to persuade her otherwise.
In the following days, countries around the world continued closely monitoring the ghost ship from the outer domain.
The ghost ship was flying at a slow pace in the air, sometimes hovering at different locations for a period, with people from the ship coming down, seemingly searching for something.
The strange thing was that these people seemed tireless over the days, the ship consistently functioning, and it was unknown what energy was driving it.
In any case, the peculiar ship seemed to slowly probe Earth.
Although humans on Earth feared the ship would negatively impact Earth after gathering information, no country or power dared to act rashly.
Earth’s various forces seemed to have reached a tacit agreement not to provoke the other side actively.
Of course, the major powers and forces quietly prepared to fight the ship if it threatened Earth’s civilization.
If the ship posed any threat to Earth, the major powers were poised to act decisively, exerting maximum effort to suppress and destroy it.
During these few days, people from other countries attempted to make contact with the ship, but the people aboard seemed too arrogant to acknowledge humans on Earth, showing no interest in communicating.
Since the ghost ship arrived on Earth, a month had passed.
The ghost ship had reached the Arctic Iceberg Area.
Here, the ghost ship’s speed reduced significantly, and the people on the ship spent more time disembarked, looking for things in the icebergs.
They seemed to have discovered something.
Divine Continent, Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
This evening, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were cultivating in the room when both suddenly sensed Tong Yunshu approaching.
After stopping cultivation, Yang Fei opened the door.
Tong Yunshu excitedly ran over, loudly saying, "Yang Fei, I finally can write that rune."
Yang Fei rejoiced, "Really? Hahaha, I knew you could do it."
Tong Yunshu delightedly said, "Yes, the greatest effect of this rune is enhancing perception in the Talisman Dao Domain. Additionally, it has a significant auxiliary effect, strengthening other rune capabilities." Follow current novels on novelFɪre.net
Qin Yanyang was a bit baffled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tong Yunshu explained, "Essentially, after an array is generated, this rune can enhance the overall power of the array, providing a boosting effect."
Qin Yanyang’s eyes flashed brightly, saying, "In that case, won’t the Cloud Mist Mountain Array gain enhanced effects?"
Tong Yunshu had clearly anticipated this, hence her excitement, nodding, "Exactly."
Yang Fei exclaimed, "Yes, if your rune truly has the effect of enhancing array power, then our Cloud Mist Mountain Array’s strength can improve." He eagerly looked at Tong Yunshu and asked, "What needs to be done?"
Tong Yunshu said, "I’ve thought it through. We just need to attach this rune to the array foundation."
Yang Fei impatiently said, "Let’s go, try it out."
Yet, Tong Yunshu hesitated a bit and cautiously said, "This is only my conjecture. Maybe we should test with a small array first, lest it affects the Cloud Mist Mountain Array. Everyone here is diligently cultivating."
She worried that failure would weaken the Cloud Mist Mountain Array’s effects, incurring displeasure from those cultivating here.
Yang Fei said, "We don’t have much time for testing; we just need to try enhancing one part of the array foundation with the rune. Even if it breaks, we can fix it immediately."
Qin Yanyang decisively said, "That’s right, let’s do it."
"Okay then," Tong Yunshu said eagerly.
She believed that once successful, her contribution to the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Array would be immense. And with this rune, she could establish a closer connection with the array, for Heaven-Human interaction. In this way, even if Yang Fei weren’t here, she’d have confidence to hold the fort for Yang Fei, keeping the home safe.
