Was the Saint Inscription Dao not something that could be learned just because one wanted to?
Did it have to depend on one's innate talent?
Did it have to be mentally prepared?
Upon hearing Bai Li Hong's words, Duan Lingtian chuckled inwardly.
He had inherited Reincarnation Emperor Wu's lifetime of Inscription Dao. Since Inscription Dao and Saint Inscription Dao were different, he did not need to start from scratch to learn Saint Inscription Dao. All he needed to do was to grasp the similarities between Saint Inscription Dao and Saint Inscription Dao.
As long as he could build a bridge between Saint Inscription Dao and Saint Inscription Dao, he believed he would become an outstanding Saint Inscription Master.
In the following month, Duan Lingtian stayed in Bai Li Hong's mansion and learned the Saint Inscription Dao from him.
In the beginning, Bai Li Hong did not think highly of Duan Lingtian.
After all, Duan Lingtian's innate talent in the Martial Dao was already heaven-defying. In his opinion, God was fair. When he gave Duan Lingtian a heaven-defying innate talent in the Martial Dao, he would not give Duan Lingtian an innate talent in the Saint Inscription Dao.
However, reality gave him a resounding slap. He even thought God was playing a joke on him.
How could there be such a person in this world who was so blessed by God?
In just a month, Duan Lingtian could already inscribe a One Star Saint Inscription. If it was not for Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Energy being too weak, Bai Li Hong did not doubt Duan Lingtian would be able to inscribe a Two Star Saint Inscription.
In this one month, Duan Lingtian had given him too many surprises.
In the beginning, Duan Lingtian was confused. Then, Duan Lingtian was able to draw inferences from one instance. Occasionally, Duan Lingtian would say something that would make him ponder for a long time.
Sometimes, Duan Lingtian gave him a feeling that he was not a beginner in the Saint Inscription Dao. Instead, he felt more like an experienced person.
It was an unbelievable feeling, but it was true.
"Inscriptions, Saint Runes … they are the same in essence."
Duan Lingtian had already seen the 'bridge' that connected Inscriptions and Saint Inscriptions when he had just learned ten Heavenly Saint Inscriptions from Bai Li Hong. After twenty days, he had already walked on the 'bridge' and comprehended it.
After a few more days, he had completely grasped the similarities between inscriptions and saint inscriptions. He could also convert some of the inscriptions in Emperor Wu's memory into saint inscriptions.
The inscriptions in Emperor Wu's memory were all-encompassing. There were so many types that it would take more than a day and a night to list them all.
For example, the Two Star Saint Inscriptions, the Thousand Mass Saint Inscription, the Gale Saint Inscription, and the Three Star Saint Inscription, the Penetration Saint Inscription, that he had come into contact with before could be transformed and inscribed through the inscriptions in the Rebirth Martial Emperor's memory.
Naturally, the material required for the inscription must be similar to the material used by the Dao Martial Saint Land's Saint Inscription Masters. It must be refined into an ink-like liquid.
The liquid was driven by the inscription pen to inscribe Saint Inscriptions.
With his current Spiritual Energy, the limit was to inscribe a One Star Saint Inscription.
If he wanted to inscribe a Two Star Saint Inscription, he would have to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage first. Only by breaking through to the Saint Rudiment Stage would his Spiritual Energy be able to transform further and reach the level where he could inscribe Two Star Saint Inscriptions.
'After this one month of learning, I can now see inscriptions and saint inscriptions as one … With the help of Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memory, as long as my Spiritual Energy reaches a certain level, I'll be able to inscribe the corresponding Saint Inscription.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
This situation was exactly the same as when he was on Cloud Continent.
When he was on Cloud Continent, as long as his Spiritual Energy reached a certain level, he would be able to inscribe the corresponding Inscription.
"Elder Bai Li, I'll have to trouble you for this one month."
A month had passed, and it was time to leave. Duan Lingtian looked at Bai Li Hong and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"Duan Lingtian, your innate talent in the Saint Inscription Dao surpasses mine."
Bai Li Hong looked at Duan Lingtian with a complicated gaze. Then, as though he had made up his mind, he clenched his teeth and said to Duan Lingtian, "Duan Lingtian, I'd like to accept you as my disciple on behalf of my teacher … Are you willing?"
"Elder Bai Li, y-you have a teacher?"
Duan Lingtian was a little surprised.
"Otherwise, where do you think I learned the Saint Inscription Dao from?"
Bai Li Hong shook his head and said solemnly, "Duan Lingtian, my teacher is a Seven Star Saint Inscription Master! Even the Inscription Pen in my hand was given to me by him. "
Seven Star Saint Inscription Master!
Duan Lingtian was shocked by Bai Li Hong's words.
Although he had guessed Bai Li Hong's teacher must be a Four Star Saint Inscription Master or above, he did not expect Bai Li Hong's teacher to be a Seven Star Saint Inscription Master!
"Do you know why I was so confident about our bet a month ago?"
Bai Li Hong asked.
"Weren't you confident that you could inscribe Saint Inscriptions on a Heaven Rank Saint Weapon?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Then do you know why I was so confident that I could inscribe Saint Inscriptions on a Heaven Rank Saint Weapon?"
Bai Li Hong asked again.
"It should be the Inscription Pen."
Duan Lingtian pondered for a moment before he replied.
The material used to forge a Heaven Rank Saint Weapon was extremely hard. If the Inscription Pen was too inferior, it would not be able to leave a mark on it.
"That's right, it's the Inscription Pen!"
Bai Li Hong nodded. At the same time, his eyes lit up as he said, "Generally speaking, it's already considered good for a Three Star Saint Inscription Master to have a Four Star Inscription Pen … However, a Four Star Inscription Pen can only inscribe Saint Inscriptions on an Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapon at most.
A Four Star Inscription Pen can only inscribe Saint Inscriptions on an Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapon at most? There's such a requirement? "
Duan Lingtian was surprised.
"Of course."
Bai Li Hong nodded. "Inscription Pens are divided into different grades. The worst is a One Star Inscription Pen while the best is a Nine Star Inscription Pen … Of course, this is just a common saying in the Dao Martial Saint Land. According to my teacher, there's an Inscription Pen that's of a higher grade than a Nine Star Inscription Pen in the Dao Martial Saint Land. "
Duan Lingtian finally understood.
Although he had already connected Saint Inscriptions and Inscriptions together and mastered the method of transforming Inscriptions into Saint Inscriptions, he did not know much about the Inscription Pens in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Now that he heard Bai Li Hong's words, he finally knew there were so many requirements to an Inscription Pen.
"A One Star Inscription Pen corresponds to Human Rank Inferior Saint Artifacts, and it can inscribe Saint Inscriptions on them at most. A Two Star Inscription Pen corresponds to Human Rank Medial Saint Artifacts, and it can inscribe Saint Inscriptions on them at most."
A Three Star Inscription Pen corresponds to a Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon. A Four Star Inscription Pen corresponds to an Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapon … and so on. A Nine Star Inscription Pen corresponds to a Heaven Rank Primitive Saint Weapon. "
Duan Lingtian gained a new understanding of the Inscription Pen after Bai Li Hong finished speaking in one breath.
"Then … Elder Bai Li, the Inscription Pen in your hand is a Seven Star Inscription Pen or above?"
Duan Lingtian asked in surprise.
A month ago, Bai Li Hong had said he could inscribe Saint Inscriptions on a Heaven Rank Saint Weapon.
Now that he had a deeper understanding of the Inscription Pen, it was not difficult for him to figure this out.
"That's right."
Bai Li Hong nodded. At the same time, he took out his Inscription Pen and muttered, "This is an Inscription Pen that my teacher whom I've never met gave me. It's a Nine Star Inscription Pen! With it, I can even inscribe Saint Inscriptions on a Heaven Rank Primitive Saint Weapon.
Now, you should know why I was so confident a month ago, right? "
When Bai Li Hong reached this part of his sentence, he looked at Duan Lingtian. At the same time, he recalled the bet from a month ago. He could not help but sigh. "However, I didn't expect the Saint Weapon in your hand to be a Super Saint Weapon that's above a Heaven Rank Primitive Saint Weapon!"
Super Saint Weapon was how Bai Li Hong described Duan Lingtian's Sun Shooting Bow.
Only Duan Lingtian knew the Sun Shooting Bow in his hand was not a Super Saint Weapon. It was a damaged Celestial Supreme Treasure.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. After all, it was a Celestial Supreme Treasure. Although it was damaged, its hardness was not something a mere Super Saint Weapon could compare to.
A Nine Star Inscription Pen!
When Bai Li Hong said his Inscription Pen was a Nine Star Inscription Pen, Duan Lingtian was so shocked that he did not hear what Bai Li Hong said after that.
A Nine Star Inscription Pen was the best Inscription Pen in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
Although Duan Lingtian had guessed the Inscription Pen in Bai Li Hong's hand was at least a Seven Star Inscription Pen, he thought it was just a Seven Star Inscription Pen. He did not expect Bai Li Hong's Inscription Pen to be a Nine Star Inscription Pen!
"Elder Bai Li, didn't you say your teacher was only a Seven Star Saint Inscription Master? How did he get a Nine Star Inscription Pen? "
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Bai Li Hong in shock.
"Well, it's not mentioned in the jade token my teacher left behind. That's why I don't know."
Bai Li Hong shook his head.
"You didn't ask him?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Ask him?"
Bai Li Hong was stunned as well. Then, he smiled wryly. "Duan Lingtian, I've already said that I've never met my teacher … The inheritance I obtained is a Spatial Ring my teacher left behind. Apart from some materials for inscribing Saint Inscriptions, there are only two jade tokens and this Nine Star Inscription Pen in my hand in the Spatial Ring.
Even I don't know which era my teacher was from in the Dao Martial Saint Land. "
When Bai Li Hong reached the end of his sentence, he could not help but sigh.
"I see."
Duan Ling Tian finally understood. As it turned out, the Saint Inscription Inheritance that Bai Li Hong obtained came from the Spatial Ring left behind by a Seven Star Saint Inscription Master. It was not passed down by the Seven Star Saint Inscription Master himself.
"Since that senior isn't here, why did you say you want to accept me as your disciple on behalf of your teacher, Elder Bai Li?"
Duan Lingtian asked in confusion.
"In the jade token my teacher left behind, he told me that if my innate talent in Saint Inscriptions is ordinary and I meet someone who's much more talented than me, I must accept him as my disciple and inherit his legacy, the Strange Inscription Art!"
When Bai Li Hong reached the end of his sentence, his face was solemn.
"Strange Inscription Art?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised. "What's that? Does it have anything to do with Saint Inscriptions? "
"According to my teacher, the Strange Inscription Art is an alternative inscription technique of the Saint Inscription Art. It focuses on using the cheapest materials to inscribe Saint Inscriptions that are similar to the ones inscribed by the orthodox inscription technique … The Saint Inscriptions are the same, but the materials used are very different. In some cases, the difference is a few times more exaggerated. "
