Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 250 - 250 249 Mysterious Sanskrit Second Update

250: Chapter 249 Mysterious Sanskrit [Second Update] 250: Chapter 249 Mysterious Sanskrit [Second Update] “Ugh, what is this thing?”

Li Chen picked up the Buddha statue, made a chopping gesture with his fingers, and sliced it open in mid-air.

Immediately, he saw a black stone card, about half a finger wide and a finger long, fall out from inside.

The front of the stone card was carved with strange patterns, giving an impression of cryptic symbols.

The back had text shaped like tadpoles, which seemed to be Sanskrit from the Ancient Times.

Li Chen’s Sanskrit level was quite high, understanding six out of seven key points, but he could clearly recognize the two lines of text on it.

Heaven mocketh with indignation, and vengeful spirits rage fiercely, leaving the fields awash with merciless slaughter.

With body dead, yet spirit thrives, and the resolute soul becomes a formidable ghost king.

These lines are from the “National Sacrifice” in the Chuci, and their literal meaning is known to be extremely bloody.

Translated, it means: Heaven harbors resentment, the awe-inspiring deities in fury, and after the brutal battle, white bones are abandoned in the wilderness.

Though my body perishes, my spirit is eternal.

The resolute soul remains a hero amongst the ghosts.

Besides that, there is also a real ancient Sanskrit phrase from Ancient India: Samaye maheśvara.

Samaye is not the innocuous pet dog known as the angel of smiles, but two words in Sanskrit.

‘Sa’ means to create, to give birth.

‘Maye’ refers to the Illusion Realm.

The following four words: maheśvara, refers to the Great Freedom Heaven.

The Great Freedom Heaven, in Ancient Indian mythology, represents Shiva, the god of destruction and creation, residing at the summit of Heaven, ruler of the Three Thousand Worlds.

These seven words together translate to: Shiva’s mighty power creates the Great Freedom Heaven, and ultimate wisdom unfolds the Three Thousand Worlds.

Based on Li Chen’s level of Sanskrit, he could only understand the literal meaning; as for what this thing was really about, he was utterly baffled.

He pondered hard for a full two hours, until dawn broke, and then he cried out in surprise: “Holy cow, what is all this?”

Of course, the two hours of research by our fellow Li Chen were not in vain.

The master of this stele, and Qu Yuan, who wrote “National Sacrifice,” must have been contemporaries.

In pursuit of ultimate wisdom, learning from many schools of thought, he traveled to both Ancient Huaxia and Ancient India.

He faced many dangers and dead ends, as well as many fortunes and chances.

At the moment of death and the loss of his path, he used an unparalleled Secret Technique to seal his soul within this stone card.

Hence, the lines “With body dead, yet spirit thrives, the resolute soul becomes a formidable ghost king.”

This object is so mystical, it doesn’t seem like something from the ordinary mortal world, but rather something from the Cultivation World.

Moreover, Li Chen could assert that this stele might very well be a key.

And the location of the key, should be an ancient battlefield of Divine Demons.

As for the exact location of the ancient battlefield, that left him puzzled.

It seems, when there’s time, he must venture to India, to unravel the mystery of this enigmatic stele.

Perhaps a great fortune awaits him.

Li Chen pocketed the stone card, stood up, stretched lazily, and yawned greatly.

He stood still, gazing into the distance.

Dawn had broken in the East, with the shy sun peeking out, slowly rising.

Suddenly, a familiar figure entered his field of vision.

Lan Huanxi?

What was she doing here so early in the morning?

When Li Chen saw Lan Huanxi, naturally, she saw him too.

However, in contrast to Li Chen’s look of surprise, she seemed somewhat flustered, like a primary school student who had just done something wrong, waiting for the teacher’s punishment.

Li Chen stepped forward and greeted her with a smile, “Huanxi, what brings you here?”

Lan Huanxi raised the English textbook in her hand, smiling sweetly, “I’m here for morning reading!”

Li Chen asked, “Do you come here every day?”

Lan Huanxi nodded and said, “Yes, the air on the mountain is fresh, and climbing more can also help to exercise the body!”

In fact, the reason she came to Cloud Mist Mountain was merely to catch a glimpse of the person she longed for day and night.

However, whenever she saw Ye Chuxue and Li Chen, looking like a pair of celestial beings, talking and laughing together, her heart would feel a complex mix of emotions.

There was happiness for them, as well as a sense of melancholy.

She was originally a kind-hearted rural girl.

Even though she came from an impoverished family, her mother was seriously ill, and she herself almost fell into a dark period of destitution, she always remained grateful, never thinking of blaming anyone.

Li Chen had saved her from dire straits several times, even saving her mother’s life, so of course, she felt only gratitude towards him.

As for the affection that had arisen in secret, it would always remain hidden in her heart.

Being able to meet him during the most beautiful years of life was already a blessing from the heavens, and she dared not ask for more.

Seeing that the scene was a bit awkward, Li Chen casually asked, “Huanxi, how’s your revision going?”

Lan Huanxi grinned and said, “It’s okay, I should be able to get into Jiangnan University!”

Li Chen asked with some surprise, “Jiangnan University?

But wasn’t your dream school Tsinghua?

Why did you change your mind?”

Lan Huanxi pursed her lips, smiled lightly, and said, “I’m afraid I might not get into Tsinghua.

Jiangnan University is a safer choice.

Plus, it’s closer to home.

You know my mom’s not in good health.

If I study at Jiangnan University, I can take care of her more easily.”

Li Chen thoughtfully nodded, “Oh, I see!”

After that, he looked up at the sunrise in the east and said, “You haven’t eaten yet, right?

Come to my place for some breakfast!”

Upon hearing Li Chen’s sudden invitation, Lan Huanxi’s heart began to race like a startled deer.

Her face flushed, and she said in a restrained manner, “Is this really okay?

Won’t she be upset?”

Li Chen was startled, “She?”

Twisting the hem of her clothes, Lan Huanxi explained, “The girl wearing the white dress, looking like a fairy!”

Li Chen suddenly understood, “Oh, you mean Chuxue?

She’s not here right now!”

Relieved to hear that Ye Chuxue was not around, Lan Huanxi blushed deeply and nodded, “Then okay, thank you for your hospitality!”

“What’s there to thank for?

Come on, give me your hand!”

As he spoke, Li Chen reached out his hand, gesturing for Lan Huanxi to give him hers.

Lan Huanxi’s heart gave a start, her cheeks blushing, even to the tips of her ears.

But after hesitating for a while, she still tentatively extended her somewhat rough hand.

Li Chen grasped Lan Huanxi’s hand firmly and smiled elegantly, “Walking is too slow, let me carry you and fly down!”

Without waiting for Lan Huanxi to reply, Li Chen again wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

“Hold on tight to me.

If you feel scared, just close your eyes!”

With virtually no distance between them, the warm breath that Li Chen exhaled while speaking landed on Lan Huanxi’s cheeks, scaldingly hot.

She could vividly feel Li Chen’s breathing, his strong and powerful heartbeat, and an unprecedented sense of security.

At this moment, she was happy.

Happy like a bird soaring the skies without restraint.

Lan Huanxi gently closed her eyes, feeling the breeze against her face.

The fragmented sunlight fell on her face, sparkling with the glow of happiness.

If only time could stand still, how wonderful would that be?

Unfortunately, all of this was too dreamlike, just like God’s Eden Garden.

And she, Lan Huanxi, was just a girl who had stumbled into Eden by mistake.

She couldn’t possibly assume that because she had entered someone else’s garden by mistake, spring had come for her, right?

…

This chapter involves the main plot and sets up a foreshadowing.

Furthermore, I needed to research some Sanskrit materials, which took a good five to six hours.

The update is late, sorry!
