Bai Wenzhang wasn't someone who treasured his knowledge.
Or rather, he was someone who was obsessed with the study of spirit runes. Other than this subject, he wasn't interested in anything else.
Becoming a saint?
Becoming a spirit rune ancestor?
Bai Wenzhang didn't care about such glory.
This sphere was dug out from a darkness ruin by a dean of the Dragonspirit Manor. Usually speaking, any organization that obtained it would definitely not allow anyone to view it.
Because if they analyzed it, they might be able to obtain priceless battle spoils.
However, Bai Wenzhang didn't do so. As long as one was a spirit rune master, anyone could come and view it.
For the spirit rune grandmasters here, some of them had reached a bottleneck and were unable to break through. They wanted to make use of observing the sphere to break through. Some of them planned to comprehend the profoundness of the sphere and exchange it for some rare books from Bai Wenzhang...
However, how could it be so easy?
Many of them had been here for a few years. Hence, everyone was already familiar with each other.
Sun Mo, who was an unfamiliar face, had just arrived and had already seen through the first level of the sphere. This naturally caused a huge commotion.
"Shh!"
A great teacher indicated for everyone not to be noisy in case they disturbed Sun Mo.
...
"What place is this?"
Sun Mo had a dumbfounded look on his face.
He felt as though he was floating in outer space with no gravity.
There was no boundary between the sky and the earth. His surroundings were filled with strange and dazzling seven-colored auroras that were like great rivers that flowed endlessly.
Luckily, he didn't feel a sense of suffocation.
However, being in such an environment would cause immense pressure to one's mental state.
It was simply too vast. Humans were as insignificant as specks of dust.
Sun Mo flopped around a little and discovered that it was as though he was in water. He could actually move in a swimming posture. Hence, the dog paddle he learned when he was young was put to use.
Hu ~
An aurora-colored belt gushed out as motes of light fell from it.
"Eh?"
Sun Mo discovered that these motes of light actually had shapes.
They couldn't be some kind of words, right?
Sun Mo was too far away from these motes of light and had no way to grasp them. He could only rely on his memory.
The aurora-colored belt drifted about, and motes of light of various shapes kept flying out.
After Sun Mo memorized 120 of them, he discovered that some of them were repeating.
"Are these some kind of words? No, if they are words, the number is too little. Could it be something like Morse Code? "
"If that's the case, then wouldn't I be at a loss?"
Because Sun Mo was interested, he had researched this type of code before and knew how it was formed. If these light spots were also that type of thing, then he had to understand their characters first before he could decipher them.
That was the end.
Wait a minute!
If this sphere was a celestial globe, then the source of the password was the race that created this celestial globe. They were probably worried that if they used words to record it, it would be cracked by others, so they used some kind of logic to create these light spots.
So the question now was, what was the language of this race?
"System, do you know these spots of light?"
Sun Mo asked.
The system was silent. Clearly, it wouldn't give Sun Mo any technical support.
"Alright!"
In the first place, Sun Mo didn't have much hope for the system.
It shouldn't be the language of the Nine Regions, so it might be some kind of ancient prophecy …
No matter what, Sun Mo was a linguist. But when he thought of how there were so many types of ancient languages, he felt a sense of irritation as though he didn't know where to start.
No, based on the technological sense displayed by this celestial globe, could the ancient humans of the Nine Prefectures have made it?
Sun Mo thought of the Sith Clan in the Greenmist Forest.
That was a super civilization!
(Mn, let's try using their language!)
Sun Mo spent 200,000 favorable impression points to learn the entire set of Sith Language.
This wasn't as simple as knowing how to speak and write. He had to learn from the origin of Sith Language and understand the entire process of the birth of this language.
Hence, when Sun Mo used the Sith Language's train of thought to observe these spots of light, he discovered that they were actually pieces of ancient Sith characters.
To put it bluntly, this was the earliest Sith Language, something similar to China's Oracle Bone Script.
To decipher this, one had to study the Sith Language.
After Sun Mo found a train of thought, he didn't wish to continue because it was too troublesome.
"In the end, it wasn't the study of spirit runes but language."
Sun Mo roughly guessed that this celestial globe should be a map drawn by the Sith. They must have discovered other intelligent races, such as the ancient humans of the Nine Prefectures.
In order to prevent his research results from landing in the hands of the Sith, he used these pieces of paper to record everything.
It was like how foreigners could understand Chinese characters after learning Chinese, but if you asked them to read Oracle Bone Script, they would definitely be at a loss.
"But how do I go out?"
Just when Sun Mo stopped thinking and wanted to go out, his consciousness suddenly went blank. When he regained his senses, he discovered that he had already woken up.
The surroundings were filled with eyes looking at him.
"We've invited this great teacher over. Did you discover anything?"
A great teacher clasped his fists and asked with a friendly attitude.
Sun Mo fell silent. He wasn't good at lying, and it was too difficult for him to say that he didn't know anything. However, he wasn't willing to admit it either.
He was worried that he would be pestered.
After all, the origin of the Sith Language was more troublesome.
However, everyone here was a spirit rune grandmaster and had a lot of knowledge. Sun Mo's silence caused them to sense something different.
"It can't be, right? You really discovered something? "
"Little friend, why don't you share it with us?"
"I'm Murong Yao from Jixia Learning Palace. I wonder if you can share your experience?"
The great teachers all spoke up.
There was no solution to it. They had waited here for too long without any results. Now that they suddenly saw an opportunity, they were naturally very anxious.
"I'm sorry!"
Sun Mo stood up.
"Hey, don't leave first. We can talk things through!"
When the great teachers saw that Sun Mo wanted to leave, they hurriedly stopped him.
"Sir, I have an ancient spirit rune here. I want to exchange information with you!"
Murong Yao spoke up.
Benefits would always be the sharpest weapon.
Sun Mo turned his head. The great teachers of Jixia Learning Palace were truly wealthy.
Murong Yao was very magnanimous and wasn't afraid that Sun Mo would go back on his words. He directly took out a book from his cloth bag. After flipping it open, he tore out a page and folded it with one hand, passing it to Sun Mo.
Swoosh!
Everyone's gazes immediately turned over.
Sigh!
They really wanted to see it!
Whatever Murong Yao took out would definitely be good stuff.
Sun Mo didn't take it. Instead, he looked at this tall and muscular man.
"A few words won't be able to explain it clearly. Listen to my advice and give up. Even if you guys ponder here for 100 years, you won't be able to comprehend it."
Hua!
Sun Mo's words directly caused a commotion.
"Hmph, what do you mean by this? Are we too stupid? "
Some great teachers were unhappy and directly scolded.
After all, they were all genuine grandmasters, experts in the field of learning. Sun Mo's words were simply looking down on them.
Sun Mo cupped his fists.
If it wasn't on account of Mei Yazhi, he wouldn't care about this Murong Yao.
"I'll add another spirit rune!"
Murong Yao insisted, "You're willing to exchange information. As for whether I can understand it or not, you don't have to worry about it."
"Haha, Teacher Murong, I'm good friends with a great teacher from your Jixia Academy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried to persuade you."
Sun Mo mentally mused. (This is a f * cking profound language. There probably aren't any related books in the entire Nine Provinces. Where are you guys going to learn it?)
Murong Yao pondered.
"Give up."
After Sun Mo spoke, he turned and went downstairs.
"This guy is only in his twenties, right? How high could he be if he had only learned one thing? There's an eighty percent chance that he's just pretending to be a big-tailed wolf to toy with us! "
Someone doubted Sun Mo's words.
"Yeah, the spirit runes that Teacher Murong took out are all top-grade. As long as it's a spirit rune master, I don't believe that they wouldn't be interested."
"But to be able to enter the Dragon Soul Manor, their standards must not be bad, right? Moreover, he did see through the first layer of the sphere the moment he came up. "
The great teachers discussed. They still felt that this was a rare opportunity and went downstairs again.
"Teacher, how is it?"
Lu Zhiruo wasn't qualified to go upstairs. Hence, she looked at Sun Mo anxiously, waiting for him to explain.
"It's very interesting, but it'll take too much time to solve it. If your eldest martial sister has the time, let her do it!"
Sun Mo didn't like paperwork.
"Come, let's go and take a look at the second difficult question!"
"Oh!"
Lu Zhiruo followed, but she stopped after a few steps because the group of great teachers surrounded them.
"We won't ask you to speak for free. We'll pay you! "
"Yeah, what do you want? Name your price. "
"Judging from your accent, you should be from Jinling, right? We're from the same hometown! "
Everyone shouted at the same time, causing Sun Mo's head to hurt.
The passersby were also alarmed. When they heard that someone had seen through the secret of the sphere, they immediately crowded over. Hence, more and more people came.
"What's going on?"
An oppressive and rough voice interrupted the ruckus.
Even those great teachers immediately shut up and turned to greet him.
"Greetings, Teacher Cui!"
The one who spoke was an old man with white hair. However, there were no wrinkles on his face and he sounded very energetic.
His name was Cui Shunen, the number two character in the Dragonspirit Manor. He was also Bai Wenzhang's first assistant.
Someone hurriedly explained.
After Cui Shunen heard that, he frowned and looked at Sun Mo. "Have you figured out the secret of that sphere?"
"I haven't, but I've roughly guessed some things."
Sun Mo's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
He was here as a guest. In order to not be looked down on, he naturally had to display some of his strength. Only then would he have the qualifications to talk to Bai Wenzhang.
Honestly speaking, as teachers, they all liked genius students.
Bai Wenzhang was no exception. The more outstanding Sun Mo's performance was, the more harmonious the relationship between the two of them would be.
"I'll think of a way to get his permission to copy some books and bring them back."
Sun Mo had long since thought it through. He didn't need too much. Bai Wenzhang would allow him to copy half of the books. To the Central Province Academy's standard of spirit runes, it would be a great improvement.
Cui Shunen's brows twitched. "What's your name?"
"Sun Mo!"
After Sun Mo spoke, Lu Zhiruo's ears pricked up, preparing to listen to the exclamations. However, she discovered that these people didn't know her teacher at all.
"Which school are you from?"
Cui Shunen asked again.
"Great Tang's Jinling, Central Province Academy!"
Hua ~
A commotion rang out in the surroundings again. There were even mocking laughter.
In the past, the Central Province Academy was very impressive. But ever since 300 years ago, after they encountered the crisis of school annihilation, their status plummeted.
"Has the old headmaster woken up?"
Cui Shunen was concerned.
In the Nine Provinces, the breakthrough of any secondary saint would be a major matter that would shake the entire Nine Provinces. Hence, everyone naturally knew about the old headmaster's failure.
Sun Mo shook his head.
"When I came to the manor, the Central Province Academy was struggling with great difficulty in the'D 'grade!"
A great teacher's lips twitched. He felt that Sun Mo wasn't good at lying. How could such a trashy school produce such impressive people?
(Most probably, their teachers aren't as impressive as my students.)
