Chapter 368: Life Rune

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Ping Canghai spoke, Ye Chen’s body was wrapped in countless ancient runes. These runes emanated power, and all had different attributes.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning.

“Disciple, the Dao of Spiritual Talismans can be said to be very different from martial arts. However, it also has similarities. In a sense, spiritual talismans are just another way to display martial arts.”

“A single talisman can save or kill, even from thousands of miles away! Even the land of Huaxia under your feet could be destroyed!”

“What you need to do now is to condense your life rune. Once you do that, it means that you are qualified to step into the Dao of Spiritual Talismans!”

As Ping Canghai’s voice rang out continuously, the countless ancient runes surrounding Ye Chen all surged into Ye Chen’s mind.

One after another, the runes appeared in Ye Chen’s consciousness.

Ye Chen gradually sat down cross-legged, allowing the ancient runes to enter his mind as he comprehended them.

“The runes that have entered your mind are those that have appeared throughout ancient history. Your life rune should be among them. Let’s see which one you can condense.”

Ping Canghai clasped his hands behind his back, waiting for Ye Chen’s choice. Honestly, he did not have high expectations for Ye Chen.

After all, his cultivation level was too low. How difficult was it to condense one of these tens of thousands of runes?

Ten minutes passed, and Ye Chen did not move at all.

An hour passed, and it was still the same.

Ping Canghai frowned and muttered, “He couldn’t even condense a life rune in an hour. Could it be that the owner of the Samsara Graveyard isn’t suited for the Dao of Spiritual Talismans?”

He knew very well that the best hour had passed. Even if he continued, and Ye Chen eventually managed to condense a life rune, it would be an extremely ordinary one.

It seemed that Ye Chen was not destined for this path.

“Forget it. This kid might be suited to that fellow’s Dao of Slaughter, and has no fate with the Dao of Spiritual Talismans.”

Ping Canghai shook his head. He was extremely disappointed in Ye Chen.

He had taken the initiative to come out of the tombstone to help Ye Chen. Now, it seemed that his assistance was wasted.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the countless runes that had entered Ye Chen’s body suddenly rushed out!

The moment they rushed out, they shattered!

“This…”

At this moment, Ping Canghai was stunned. A trace of shock appeared on his calm expression.

With this brat’s cultivation level, he was simply not qualified to reject these runes! However, what was going on with what he saw and heard in front of him?

Suddenly, Ping Canghai thought of a possibility. Could it be that this kid’s life rune did not exist among these ancient runes? Was his life rune so special that it was above everything else?

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled outside the window, and the blood dragon in Ye Chen’s body rushed out, overlooking everything.

Then, a golden-red rune emerged from between Ye Chen’s eyebrows.

As soon as the rune appeared, the entire room shook!

From this, it could be seen how terrifying this life rune was!

Ping Canghai’s face was pale as he took a deep breath. Even he could not comprehend the mysteries of this life rune!

Where did this kid come from?

The moment this life rune surged out, even his own life rune in his body trembled, as if it was extremely afraid.

He could scarcely believe it, and tried his best to examine Ye Chen’s life rune, but soon discovered a mysterious force obstructing him.

It was as if the heavens were shielding it.

Mediocre? Or a genius?

Ping Canghai was certain that Ye Chen was the latter!

He finally understood why the Samsara Graveyard had chosen Ye Chen!

If this person wasn’t the person who would turn the tide for them, then who would have the qualifications to do so?

The life rune between Ye Chen’s eyebrows only surged out for a few seconds before it dissipated.

Puchi!

Ye Chen felt his blood rush up, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

When he opened his eyes, everything had disappeared.

“Master, did I fail?”

Ping Canghai shook his head and looked at Ye Chen with a complicated expression.

“What a f*cking monster! Your life rune has been formed, but it’s a bit strange. In a moment, I’ll transfer some things into your mind for you to comprehend. Because your cultivation level is limited, you can only comprehend a portion of it.”

After saying that, Ping Canghai pointed at Ye Chen’s forehead and a stream of information flowed into it.

Ye Chen stayed in the apartment for almost an entire day.

His understanding of the Dao of Spiritual Talismans also deepened.

Unknowingly, it was already eight o’clock in the evening, and there were only four hours left before the Ghost Prison opened.

Xiang Chengdong also called.

“Mr. Ye, I’ve already arrived at Yunhe Lake, north of the university.”

Ye Chen was slightly surprised.

“Although that person said that it would open at 12 o’clock at night, 1 was afraid that they would change their minds at the last minute, so I came earlier. Currently, 1 can sense strong fluctuations from the formation at the bottom of the lake, so it’s likely that the entrance to the Ghost Prison will be opening soon.”

Xiang Chengdong said all this as he looked at what was happening at Yunhe Lake.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll make my way over. You do what you need to do. I’ll conceal myself and wait for the right opportunity to act,” Ye Chen said.

“Yes, Mr-”

The voice stopped abruptly.

Ye Chen seemed to have heard the sound of electricity crackling, and immediately knew that something had happened to Xiang Chengdong!

Ye Chen no longer hesitated. He took a step and jumped off the balcony, channeling his true qi into his feet. Once he landed on the ground, he rushed toward Yunhe Lake.

At the same time, Ye Chen did not notice that the moment he landed, the eyes of a young lady behind him were filled with shock.

This lady was obviously Wei Ying!

She was holding some snacks and bread in her hands, and had wanted to give it to Ye Chen in case he skipped breakfast again. However, she did not expect to see Ye Chen jump off the building!

Most importantly, he was completely fine.

She knew that Ye Chen and her mother were the same kind of people who knew martial arts. However, could Ye Chen’s martial arts still be considered martial arts? Was he even human?

Curious, Wei Ying quickly followed him.

At the same time, at Yunhe Lake.

Xiang Chengdong’s phone had been completely destroyed.

A beautiful woman walked out of the darkness, dressed like a teacher.

However, Xiang Chengdong knew very well that this person was someone from Ghost Prison!

“Xiang Chengdong, who were you talking to on the phone just now?”

“Who is Mr. Ye?”

The woman walked towards Xiang Chengdong slowly. Although her aura was very strong, Xiang Chengdong was not afraid at all. He sneered and said, “What’s it to you? Who I call is my business! Remember that it was your Ghost Prison who begged me to come!”

The woman came to Xiang Chengdong’s side, took off her black-rimmed glasses, and said lightly, “Everyone likes to act tough, but this makes me think that the matter of the Ghost Prison’s formation being broken a few days ago has something to do with you.”

“Should I assume that I’m right? Is this Mr.. Ye you were talking to the person behind it all?”
