Chapter 14812 We're Not Soft Persimmons Either
Shadow Bee knew in her heart that the Lord of the Silent Court was truly determined to fight the Holy Rune Academy to the death and eliminate Ling Xiao.
Currently, all forces are watching and waiting. If the Silent Court does nothing, its prestige will be completely destroyed, and it may even be suppressed by all forces. At that time, the Silent Court will truly be doomed.
"Your subordinate obeys!" Shadow Bee bowed and accepted the order with a firm tone, then turned and left to convey the orders of the Lord of the Silent Court.
Meanwhile, inside a quiet Holy Rune Hall at the Holy Rune Academy.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by rich holy rune power and the power of the five elements, his expression focused.
With his eyes slightly closed, he held a specially made holy rune pen in his hand, the tip of which was filled with pure holy rune power, and he was slowly drawing a high-grade three-star holy rune stone.
He specifically chose a high-grade three-star sacred rune stone of the Five Elements type... simply because he was most familiar with and had the deepest understanding of the Five Elements, and wanted to start with this to solidify his sacred rune skills before gradually trying other types of high-grade sacred rune stones.
Advanced three-star Sacred Rune Stones are several times more difficult to obtain than advanced two-star Sacred Rune Stones. They require not only a profound understanding of the Way of Sacred Runes, but also precise control over every strand of Sacred Rune power.
The drawing process must be completed in one stroke, without the slightest mistake. Even the slightest error can lead to the failure of the entire Sacred Stone refining process, or even backfire on the user.
Yao Tianji stood by, watching Ling Xiao draw intently, occasionally offering a few words of guidance, reminding Ling Xiao to pay attention to controlling the flow of the holy rune power and the connection of the rune patterns, not daring to slack off in the slightest...
He knew all too well the difficulty of crafting high-grade three-star holy rune stones; even he himself might not be able to succeed on the first try.
Ling Xiao, in just a few days, advanced from refining a perfect high-grade one-star holy rune stone to attempting a high-grade three-star one ...
Time passed slowly, but Ling Xiao remained focused on drawing the sacred runes, and the power of the five elements around him grew increasingly intense.
In his hands, the Holy Rune Pen seemed to possess a spirit. As the pen tip moved, intricate and flowing holy runes slowly appeared on the nascent form of the Holy Rune Stone, the lines clear and containing immense power.
After a long while, Yao Tianji saw that Ling Xiao's drawing rhythm was becoming more and more stable and that he had entered the best state. There was no need for further guidance, so Yao Tianji quietly turned around and quietly withdrew from the Holy Rune Hall, afraid of disturbing Ling Xiao.
Zhang Maoran had been standing guard outside the Sacred Mark Hall, his expression anxious. He kept glancing into the hall, and when he saw Yao Tianji come out, he quickly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and asked urgently:
"Dean Yao, how's it going? Is the young grandmaster's refining of the high-grade three-star holy rune stone going smoothly? Has he encountered any bottlenecks?"
Yao Tianji stopped, his face expressionless, and remained silent, not answering his question immediately.
Zhang Maoran frowned deeply, his heart sinking, and his tone was tinged with worry: "What? Did it not go smoothly? Could it be that even Junior Grandmaster failed to refine a high-grade three-star Sacred Rune Stone?"
Yao Tianji slowly shook his head, his tone tinged with complexity and an undisguised shock:
"It wasn't that things weren't going well, it was going too well, much better than I imagined."
His understanding of the Five Elements is ridiculously profound, even more so than mine, who has studied the Way of Sacred Runes for decades.
Moreover, the sacred rune stones he created were completely different from those we usually refined, and the power they contained far exceeded that of ordinary high-grade three-star sacred rune stones.
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Maoran's eyes as he asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? Is there something special about the Sacred Rune Stone that Junior Grandmaster refined?"
Yao Tianji didn't explain much. He slowly opened his palm, and a soft light appeared. A high-grade three-star sacred rune stone, smooth and lustrous, containing the power of the five elements, slowly floated in his palm...
This is a semi-finished product that Ling Xiao casually crafted during the refining process. Although it is not yet fully formed, it already exudes a powerful aura.
“Look,” Yao Tianji said softly.
Zhang Maoran quickly reached out and carefully took the sacred rune stone, placing it in his palm and examining it closely. A moment later, his expression changed drastically; he shuddered, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he exclaimed:
"This...this aura contained within the Sacred Stone...this is...this is the aura of a Human King?! How is this possible? How could my Junior Grandmaster possess the aura of a Human King?"
The aura of a king!
Once the King of Men, he unified the Xuan Realm and was the most powerful being in the history of the Xuan Realm, his power unmatched throughout the ages.
The Bai Ze Continent, where they reside, is merely one of the continents that emerged after the Xuan Realm split apart.
The reason they knew about the aura of the Human King was only because they had occasionally sensed a faint aura from ancient books and relics left over from the era of the Human King. That aura was majestic and awe-inspiring.
But now, the sacred rune stone refined by Ling Xiao actually contains such a rich aura of a human king. How could this not shock them?
Yao Tianji slowly withdrew his gaze, looked in the direction of the Holy Rune Hall, and shook his head solemnly:
"I don't know. I can't understand it either. How can a kid from the Realm of Annihilation have such a strong aura of a king? This person is too mysterious. He has too many secrets that we don't know about."
Zhang Maoran gripped the sacred rune stone tightly in his hand, his shock gradually subsiding, and said solemnly:
"No matter what, he is now a member of my Holy Rune Academy, a disciple personally taught by our founder, and our junior grandmaster."
He possesses the aura of a king, which is not a bad thing for our Holy Rune Academy; on the contrary, it could be a tremendous boon. With him here, our Holy Rune Academy will surely regain its former glory.”
Yao Tianji nodded and asked in a serious tone, "By the way, what's been happening with the Silent Court lately? Have they sent anyone to provoke us, or done anything unusual?"
Upon hearing the mention of the Silent Court, Zhang Maoran's expression instantly turned solemn, and he said in a heavy tone:
"The Court of Annihilation is likely to make a big move soon. They have ordered the recall of all instructors and disciples who are currently outside the court, and it is said that they will also be sending people from the Divine Envoy Hall."
It seems the Lord of the Silent Court is determined not to let this go and will surely send people to target our Junior Master and our Holy Rune Academy again.
Yao Tianji frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes… He knew exactly what the Divine Envoy Hall was. It seemed a great battle was inevitable.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Yao Tianji's lips, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes, and he sneered:
"Since the Lord of the Silent Court wants to play, then we'll play along to the end! He wants to fight to the death, but our Holy Rune Academy is not a pushover!"
