Chapter 393 Secret Characters of the Great Dao

When Qin Jun and Nezha arrived at the bottom of the cave, they were greeted by a damp underground space, spacious and wide. The Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng was standing by the underground lake, waiting quietly for the arrival of Qin Jun and Nezha.

Qin Jun scanned the area but didn't see another figure.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask, "Where is the other person?"

Could it be that the other person escaped?

Qin Jun felt frustrated. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to find out the origin of the Qinhuang Realm for the time being.

Just then, the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng suddenly opened his mouth and emitted a flash of yellow light. Immediately after, a hunched figure appeared at his feet. The figure lay on the ground trembling, whimpering and muttering incomprehensibly.

Qin Jun and Nezha were wide-eyed at the sight.

To see the enemy being expelled from someone's mouth had a great visual impact, almost leaving the two of them dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, you can question him now, but don't get too close. This guy's cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm," the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng said with a smile, causing Qin Jun and Nezha to widen their eyes.

The sixth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

One level higher than Nezha.

Nezha was deeply affected. He felt dejected that someone one level higher than him was instantly subdued by the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng. How could he not feel frustrated?

However, with treasures like the Mixed Yuan Bell and the Universe Ring, Nezha's strength was not just at the level of the fifth layer of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

The higher the grade of the treasure, the greater the enhancement to one's strength.

In the later part of Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, it was all about the dominance of treasures. Almost all other mythological stories also featured dazzling divine or demonic artifacts.

"Who are you, and what is the origin of this small world?" Qin Jun asked in a deep voice. Upon closer inspection, the tattered purple robe on the man's body was in tatters, even blackened, resembling the appearance of the Old Master Yi, but this man did not look old. His long beard was knotted, a sign of the hardships he had endured.

Faced with Qin Jun's questioning, the man in tatters continued to cower on the ground, trembling.

This scene made Qin Jun frown. After all, he was a strong man at the sixth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Why was he so timid?

Was he scared by the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng?

Qin Jun looked at the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng with a strange expression. In response, the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and sternly said, "My lord is asking you a question. If you don't want to die, you better be honest!"

Upon hearing the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng speak, the tattered man trembled all over and stammered, "I only remember... my name is Tian Jue..."

"And what is the origin of this small world?" Qin Jun continued to ask. Could it be that this guy had been driven mad by his imprisonment?

Tian Jue's voice trembled as he said, "I can't remember..."

Qin Jun's expression turned grim. No matter how he asked, Tian Jue remained uncooperative. It seemed that he had lost his mind due to his imprisonment, and the sudden intervention of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng had frightened him to the point of near mental collapse.

In the end, Qin Jun had to give up and let Nezha search the cave to see if he could find anything valuable.

"Your Majesty, come and take a look!" Soon, Nezha's voice came from the corner, instantly piquing Qin Jun's curiosity.

Qin Jun went to Nezha's side and saw dozens of strange characters carved on the cave wall, resembling tadpoles or twisted snakes, completely incomprehensible.

"What is this?" Qin Jun asked in confusion.

Nezha said solemnly, "I don't recognize it either, but I can feel a sense of oppression emanating from the characters. It makes my head spin when I scan them with my divine sense."

The Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, carrying Tian Jue, also walked over. As soon as he saw the characters on the cave wall, his brow furrowed.

Tian Jue covered his face and dared not look at the wall.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Qin Jun extended his divine sense to scan the wall. In an instant, he felt his mind explode!

"Traveling thousands of miles in an instant, shrinking the earth to an inch, traversing ten thousand miles in a single step, unparalleled in mystery..."

A voice that seemed to come from the ancient times echoed in Qin Jun's mind. In that instant, a vast amount of memories flooded into his mind.

At the same time, Qin Jun closed his eyes, and the strange characters on the cave wall burst into golden light, flying out from the surface and then hovering around Qin Jun. This scene left Nezha and the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng wide-eyed.

What was happening?

Tian Jue exclaimed, "How is this possible! How does he have the qualifications to receive the inheritance of the Great Dao's secret characters?"

The inheritance of the Great Dao's secret characters?

The Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng and Nezha exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"What are the Great Dao's secret characters?" the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng asked, lifting Tian Jue high with one hand.

Nezha stared at the golden characters swirling around Qin Jun, his brow furrowed. He could sense that these characters contained immense power. Approaching them lightly would definitely not end well.

"The Great Dao's secret characters are just that, the Great Dao's secret characters!" Tian Jue cried out in frustration. This angered the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, who threw him against the cave wall, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently.

...

Qin Jun's consciousness slowly cleared, and he opened his eyes to find himself in a blank world. Apart from white, there were no other colors or objects in sight. The atmosphere was incredibly eerie and quiet.

"Where is this place..." Qin Jun looked around in confusion, quickly recalling the events before he lost consciousness.

Could it be that the cave wall concealed a formation or restriction?

Qin Jun shuddered at the thought. Otherwise, how could he have ended up here?

He instinctively pinched his own face but felt nothing. It seemed that this place did not exist in reality.

"The Great Dao encompasses three thousand, and all laws return to the nine..."

The mysterious voice from before resounded once again, with a solemn and ancient tone that seemed to have endured countless epochs, easily causing one to lose their composure.

"Who are you?"

Qin Jun spoke in a deep voice, feeling uneasy. He wanted to leave this blank world, but he had no way to do so. He couldn't even release his divine sense, as if he had turned back into an ordinary mortal.

"The soldiers are ready to fight, all in formation!"

"The secret words of the formation, understand with your heart!"

The voice ignored Qin Jun and continued speaking to itself, leaving Qin Jun bewildered.

"The soldiers are ready to fight, all in formation!"

He had heard this phrase before. It was often recited by Taoist priests in TV dramas, and it was even circulated in Japan as a high-level spell.

Just then, at the end of his line of sight, a huge golden character appeared, extremely peculiar, vaguely resembling a formation character.

Soon, these peculiar formation characters appeared from all directions, densely packed, making Qin Jun's scalp tingle.

"What does this mean..."

Qin Jun nervously thought, and then countless peculiar formation characters suddenly rushed towards him from all directions, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

Damn!

It felt like he was about to be minced into meat!

Boom!

Countless peculiar formation characters engulfed Qin Jun. In an instant, the entire blank world exploded, as if glass shattered into pieces, and a colorful light illuminated the entire conscious world.

"The secret words of the formation, understand with your heart, all things are hidden..." [End of this chapter]
