Chapter 445: Chapter 24: Looking for Kun [Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch "Xixuan" for the reward]_1

The sky was filled with flashing lightning and howling gusts of wind, as if the heavens were about to collapse. The black torrents submerged the earth, making the resounding noises of rushing water and roaring thunder inseparable. The entire world seemed to be on the precipice of doomsday.

Only one towering peak stood in this place. At its top, there was a tumult of noise.

"Is this decent, is it decent, is it decent?" Monk Pu Shan whispered his complaints to Chu Liang, "The way he looks at me is as if he seeing a ghost... I am after all a dignitary of the temple, there’s no need..."

Chu Liang hastily stopped him, "Perhaps, he really is seeing a ghost?"

He also glanced at Ye Yongxing, "Brother Ye, is this matter something that can be spoken about?"

"It’s not exactly a secret." Ye Yongxing nodded to Chu Liang, his expression usual.

"What is the matter?" Monk Pu Shan asked.

"It’s the reason for Brother Ye’s avoidance of people." said Chu Liang.

"Why don’t you explain it yourself then." Monk Pu Shan looked at Ye Yongxing.

Ye Yongxing took a glance at him, immediately resumed his ghost-seeing expression and looked away.

"..." Monk Pu Shan was hit again.

Chu Liang laughed and gave a little explanation about Ye Yongxing’s eyes of the underworld. The point was that he wasn’t targeting him, but seeing ghosts in everyone.

"So that’s how it is!" Monk Pu Shan realized, then curiously asked, "So Young Hero Ye, what do I look like when I die in your eyes?"

"It’s hard to say." Ye Yongxing lowered his head, spoke softly, "Since I was young, my parents have always told me not to share these things with people. Besides, even if I told you, there’s no way to change anything. If one’s cultivation does not reach Heaven’s Gate, it’s impossible to defy destiny."

"That’s true." Monk Pu Shan was quite open-minded, leisurely adding, "Life and death have their own ways. We should only focus on living well. There’s no point in worrying about how one might die."

He looked compassionately and contentedly as he spoke, making arrangements for people to feel that he really does have some Buddhist practices in him.

However, as soon as he turned his head back around, he asked eagerly, "Young Hero Ye, I have another curiosity..."

"Hmm?"

Monk Pu Shan deliberately asked, "Have you ever looked at yourself in a mirror?"

Hearing him ask this, Chu Liang internally exclaimed how audacious he was! However, he had to admit that he too was a bit curious.

Ye Yongxing appeared somewhat embarrassed, lowering his head, whispering, "While one can see the sky and the earth, seeing oneself is difficult; seeing the underworld means not being able to see one’s own way home."

"I see..."

The three of them chatted for a while longer, of course, it was mainly Monk Pu Shan talking. Chu Liang habitually added a few words to make sure the conversation didn’t fall flat, while Ye Yongxing just listened silently.

After some conversation, Chu Liang felt that Ye Yongxing was a good person. Probably due to lack of interaction with others, he seemed quite naive and kind-hearted. Apart from being a bit introverted, he had no major flaws and was someone worth getting to know.

After a while, a fourth person came over.

"I see you all came out so quickly." Feng Chaoyang came forward.

With the difficulty of the formation inside the main hall, it was quite hard to hold in there for this long... The three of them laughed but didn’t expose the truth.

Monk Pu San looked behind, wondered: "Haven’t Penglai Upper Sect and Misty Mountain Immortal come out?"

This was not supposed to be the case.

He didn’t know about Xi Miaoxian’s strength, but if Situ Guanhai was the main Dao of Talisman as the rumors suggest, he shouldn’t have been unable to free himself for this long.

"They might have been the first ones to come out..." Ye Yongxing quietly said to Chu Liang.

"Huh?" Feng Chaoyang was surprised, "Brother Ye, are you taking the initiative to talk to others?"

Ye Yongxing looked at him, then immediately lowered his head, revealing the ghost-seeing expression again.

"..." Feng Chaoyang also fell silent for a while.

Why is the one looking at him like that, also looking at me like this too? Is this some Jiang Yuebai’s behavior?

...

Monk Pu Shan continued, "If they were the first ones to step out, where would they go? Could they have already gone to find the legendary golden runes?"

"They probably went to comprehend the seventh rune." Said Chu Liang.

"Right." Ye Yongxing also pondered, "They should be looking for a place to study the Kun Glyph and the Li Glyph."

"The two missing runes in this world can only be found in another place, departing this location through the ’Xun Glyph’", asserted Chu Liang.

"Correct." replied Ye Yongxing, "They should have already gone ahead."

"Wait..." Feng Chaoyang was confused, turning to Monk Pu Shan, "I arrived late, what are they talking about?"

Monk Pu Shan’s nostrils flared and his pupils widened, repeatedly shaking his head: "I’ve been here all along and I don’t know!"

His surprise was stronger than Feng Chaoyang’s. He initially felt like they were just having a conversation, but suddenly, he felt utterly alone.

"They are comprehending the runes in the universe." Chu Liang explained, "Haven’t you noticed? Everything here is composed of runes. Each natural phenomenon is suffused with the origin of the runes, from which the powerful methods of the Talisman Heavenly Master can be discerned."

"The ’Qian Glyph’ symbolizes the sky, the ’Kan Glyph’ represents rain, the ’Zhen Glyph’ stands for thunder, the ’Xun Glyph’ pertains to wind, the ’Gen Glyph’ signifies mountains, the ’Dui Glyph’ denominates marsh... The golden rune we are looking for may be hidden among them."

Hearing his explanation, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Feng Chaoyang was utterly baffled. Monk Pu Shan was a bit better off, but he was also greatly astounded.

The distance between them and Chu Liang seemed so near, yet so far.

I am on your left side, but feel like we’re separated by a galaxy?

"So, both of you have already started the comprehension?" Monk Pu Shan asked in disbelief.

"I have perceived the sixth ’Dui Glyph’. It should not take much longer." Chu Liang nodded, "What about you, Brother Ye?"

"I started with the ’Dui Glyph’, there’s only the ’Qian Glyph’ left to comprehend." Ye Yongxing replied.

"Didn’t we..." Monk Pu Shan scratched his bald head, "We were just chatting right?"

"Perhaps we used the time you spent talking to continue with our comprehension." Chu Liang laughed.

At this moment, Monk Pu Shan felt like a desperate student, realizing that his companions, who he hung out and chatted with, suddenly excelled, making him aware that he was the only one playing.

You people are all secretly studying hard!

Feng Chaoyang and Monk Pu Shan were no ordinary individuals. However, compared to astonishing talents such as Chu Liang and Ye Yongxing, they seemed less outstanding. Now that they knew the secrets of this place, they immediately began comprehending the runes from the celestial phenomena as well.

But not long after, Chu Liang announced: "Then I shall go ahead."

With that, he lifted his hand and drew a "Xun Glyph". A wind sprang up beneath his feet, and he disappeared into the sky in an instant.

It seemed like he already completely understood the laws of this place.

Despite the thunder and rainstorm, Chu Liang continued to fly far away, but he could not see the earth anywhere. The roaring flood waters, vast as an ocean, engulfed everything. Without the ’Kun Glyph’-derived earth, comprehension was impossible.

But where on earth have the people from Penglai Upper Sect and Misty Mountain Immortal gone?

Wait a minute...

Gazing at the flood beneath him, Chu Liang’s eyes brightened.

He could use more than just the "Xun Glyph". If he used the "Dui Glyph" to control the flood and reveal the earth, wouldn’t that work?

As soon as he grasped this thought, he acted immediately.

He drew a "Dui Glyph" in each hand and began to force the flood to part.

Incredibly, the flood waters began to part, rising like two towering walls on both sides! The ground below gradually emerged, wet and gleaming.

This move was akin to moving mountains and overturning seas!

He would need to be in the Seventh Realm to achieve such a feat in the outside world, it was way beyond his abilities.

Chu Liang would never have thought to do this.

But here in the Rune Secret Realm, everything achievable by the power of the runes was extraordinarily powerful, even an entrenched way of thinking could become a hindrance.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom—

The hundred-foot-high walls of black water churned on either side. Chu Liang landed on top, setting his foot on the solid ground, sensing the origin of the runes inherent in the land.

It felt heavy, solid, supporting everything. It was the grandeur that underpinned everything. Various profound feelings converged into one place, eventually forming that line of text that connected it all.

Chu Liang smiled faintly, ’Finally found you.’

"Kun..."
