Xia Ruofei had already heard about the changes in the token from Layman Yuntai, so he wasn't as surprised as Chen Xuan and the others.
Of course, it was also the first time he had seen the tokens together, but his attention was more focused on the floating point of Yuntai.
Xia Ruofei did not see Yuntai's floating point on this side of the token, so he thought it should be on the back.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the changes of the token, and great surprise filled their hearts. For so many years, the three sects had invested a lot of manpower and resources in studying the Five Saints Token, but there was no progress at all. Today, they finally saw the dawn of hope.
The most desperate thing was to stay the same. Change meant new opportunities.
Mu Sheng had been staring at the token, as if he was trying to recall something.
Suddenly, he pointed at the token and cried, "Rising Dragon … Rising Dragon … Is this the Rising Dragon Token?"
As soon as he said that, Chen Xuan and Liu Mansha both showed a hint of joy. Liu Mansha quickly asked, "Sect Leader Mu, do you know the origin of this token?"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be surprised. This was the first time he heard someone other than Yuntai talk about the Five Saints Medallion. He couldn't help but look forward to it. After all, Yuntai didn't have a deep understanding of the Rising Dragon Medallion. Plus, due to his low cultivation, he wasn't qualified to participate in the Rising Dragon Medallion's research. If Mu Sheng could learn more about the Rising Dragon Medallion through other channels, that would be great.
Mu Sheng said, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I don't know much about the Rising Dragon Token, and I can't even be sure if this is the Rising Dragon Token …"
At this point, Mu Sheng paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I saw it in a remnant of an ancient book. However, this book only described the Rising Dragon Token in a few words. 'The masters of the five sects will gather at the Flying Dragon Peak to study the Rising Dragon Token'. Other than that, there was no other content. I just saw the two words' Rising Dragon 'on the token, and I tried hard to recall that there was such a description in the ancient book … "
Hearing this, Liu Mansha couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She couldn't help but ask, "Sect Leader Mu, think about it carefully. Is that really all?"
Actually, Liu Mansha was too concerned. Mu Sheng was a veteran Golden Core cultivator and basically had a photographic memory. Furthermore, he wasn't like ordinary people in the mortal world, whose memories would become blurry after a long time. Perhaps his impression would become a little faint, but as long as he seriously tried to recall, he definitely wouldn't remember wrongly. Since he only had this one sentence, it was basically certain that there wasn't any more content.
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Valley Master Liu, I am not muddle-headed yet, and my memories are not muddled. I am very sure that the record of the Rising Dragon Badge only has this one sentence. If Valley Lord Liu doesn't believe me, I can immediately contact the sect and send someone to deliver the ancient book to the three mountains. "
Liu Mansha couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She hurriedly said, "Sect Leader Mu, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant …"
Speaking of which, Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan were naturally juniors. At this time, they naturally wouldn't get involved.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "I don't think we should care whether this thing is called the Five Sages Badge or the Rising Dragon Badge. Let's see what's special about this combined badge first!"
Xia Ruofei's proposal was naturally unanimously agreed by everyone.
Liu Mansha even cast a grateful look at Xia Ruofei — he changed the topic like this, which could be considered as helping her out of the predicament.
The badge was a little bigger than an adult's palm. On this side, there was only the embossed word "Rising Dragon". Other than that, there were no patterns or patterns on it.
These two words were in seal script. Just as Liu Mansha said, the strokes were vigorous and powerful. If one paid close attention, they could even feel the momentum coming from them.
Yes, just these two words were enough to show that this combined badge was extraordinary.
However, the two words "Rising Dragon" were just full of momentum. Other than that, no one could see anything special about it, let alone discover the secret of the complete ancient cultivator's relics.
Xia Ruofei naturally picked up the Rising Dragon Badge on the conference table. He first pretended to look at the front side, and then turned it over.
When the dense floating points on the back side appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but focus his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
According to Yuntai, the floating points that would change every 50 years or so were all distributed on the back side.
Chen Xuan and the others were also looking at the Rising Dragon Badge, so after Xia Ruofei turned it over, they were naturally attracted by these floating points.
"Senior Yuntai …" Xia Ruofei tried to use his spiritual force to directly communicate with Yuntai, who was in the mysterious ore space in the cave of the Mountain Sea Territory in the Ring-Tu space.
However, it was silent. Obviously, this seclusion maniac was still in deep seclusion, completely isolated from the outside world.
Xia Ruofei really didn't understand. In fact, Yuntai was already a remnant soul. He didn't even have a body, so what was the use of seclusion?
Originally, he wanted to let Yuntai take a look at the floating point pattern, but since he couldn't contact him, he had to give up.
Xia Ruofei looked at the floating point pattern on the back side of the Rising Dragon Badge with rapt attention. These floating points almost covered the entire back side of the badge. Moreover, they were so densely packed that he couldn't see any pattern. If someone with trypophobia saw this pattern, they would probably have goosebumps all over their body.
Xia Ruofei simply sat down at the conference table, and placed the Rising Dragon Badge on the table with its back facing up.
Chen Xuan, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha all came over to take a closer look. So far, the floating points on this badge were the most likely place to contain the secret of the Rising Dragon Badge. Other than the two words on the badge, there wasn't even any decorative engravings. Therefore, everyone's focus was naturally on these floating points.
Xia Ruofei reached out his hand and prepared to touch these floating points …
"Brother Xia, be careful …" Chen Xuan reminded him.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly, but his fingers still firmly landed on the floating points. He knew that touching these floating points shouldn't be dangerous. This was because the ancient cultivation sects had studied the combination of the Rising Dragon Badge for a long time. If just touching it was dangerous, it was impossible that Yuntai didn't know, and it was unlikely that he didn't tell Xia Ruofei.
After all, tricking Xia Ruofei wouldn't do Yuntai any good. If something happened to Xia Ruofei, who knew what changes would happen to the Ring-Tu space because of the death of the Lord Rao! The mysterious ore that Yuntai relied on to survive was stored in the Ring-Tu space!
Chen Xuan and the other two stared at Xia Ruofei without blinking.
Xia Ruofei's hand landed on those floating points, and nothing unexpected happened.
He gently touched these floating points, and felt that these floating points were very smooth and didn't feel sharp at all.
Xia Ruofei suddenly had a thought. Could this be a language similar to Braille?
He carefully touched them from top to bottom, hoping to feel the difference between the floating points.
However, these floating points seemed to have been carved out with a very precise instrument. Most of them were exactly the same, and Xia Ruofei couldn't find any differences.
Xia Ruofei wasn't discouraged. After all, the ancient cultivators had studied them countless times, but they didn't find anything. It would be strange if he could find any clues just by touching them.
"Seniors, Brother Chen, what do you think?" Xia Ruofei said.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "If this token has some kind of secret, the most likely breakthrough lies in these floating points. However … these floating points don't seem to have any pattern. I can't find any clues at the moment …"
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I just tried to check with my mental power. These floating points seem to be a whole with the token, and the material is very special. My mental power can't even break through the surface of the material."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruofei also tried using his mental power. His mental power was higher than Mu Sheng's, but the result was the same. His mental power couldn't even break through the surface of the floating points. Naturally, he couldn't find any clues.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. If it was so easy to find clues with mental power, then those Nascent Soul stage and even Nascent Soul stage experts in the ancient cultivation world would have solved the secret of the Rising Dragon Token long ago. How could their descendants have a chance to do so?
Chen Xuan and Liu Mansha also released their mental power to try, but it was useless.
Liu Mansha frowned and said, "I think we should start from the arrangement of these floating points and see if we can find a pattern."
Chen Xuan sighed and said, "That's easier said than done. There are a total of 3865 floating points on this token, and their arrangement doesn't have any pattern at all. If we want to deduce it bit by bit, there are too many possibilities. It's impossible to do it even if you spend your entire life. "
For an Aurous Core stage cultivator, the situation on the surface of the token was clear as day with a sweep of their mental power. Therefore, Chen Xuan could clearly calculate the number of floating points, and it was directly accurate to the single digits.
Xia Ruofei agreed with Chen Xuan's words.
The ancient cultivation sects had studied the Rising Dragon Token for many years, and most of their energy was spent on studying the arrangement of floating points.
It was just that there were so many floating points. If one were to start from the minute differences in parameters such as the spacing between each row and column and the number of floating points, there would be too many possibilities. What was even more despairing was that the pattern of the floating points on the Rising Dragon Token would change every fifty years. However, fifty years wasn't enough time to deduce the arrangement of the floating points at all.
Xia Ruofei stared blankly at the Rising Dragon Token on the table and frowned slightly.
He was quite mentally prepared for the difficulties he would face after the combination of the tokens, so he wasn't impetuous or impatient. However, in the face of these densely packed floating points, calmness was of no use, and he was still helpless.
Xia Ruofei stared at the first floating point in the upper left corner and observed it with rapt attention, and found a trace of abnormality.
The floating point was actually a standard hemispherical shape that was integrated with the token.
Xia Ruofei found that on the spherical surface of the first floating point, there were many black dots neatly arranged, as if they were printed on it.
These black dots also formed a pattern similar to the floating point, but the number was slightly less, about sixty to seventy of them.
However, the floating point itself was already very small, almost the size of a grain of rice. In such a place, and on a spherical surface, there were actually so many black dots printed on it, this was already more detailed than the so-called micro-carvings.
If it wasn't for the outstanding eyesight of a cultivator, Xia Ruofei wouldn't even have noticed the black dots on the surface of the floating point.
He quickly looked at the other floating points.
Sure enough, on the surface of each floating point, there were dozens of black dots printed on it.
However, these black dots weren't exactly the same, and there were also many variations in the rows and combinations of the black dots.
Of course, after Xia Ruofei looked at the dozens of floating points, he quickly found that some of the black dot patterns were repeated.
Xia Ruofei didn't hide his discovery — after all, these black dots might be inconspicuous to ordinary people, but they couldn't hide from the eyes of Golden Core Stage cultivators. Even if he didn't say anything, Chen Xuan and the other two should be able to find out very soon.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei directly said, "Seniors, Brother Chen, look carefully at the surface of the floating points, there seems to be some black patterns!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan, Liu Mansha, and Mu Sheng also looked at it attentively.
"It really is!" Chen Xuan shouted with some excitement, "Brother Xia, where do you think the secret is hidden?"
"It's most likely these floating points." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "But you've analyzed it just now, to find the pattern of the floating points' arrangement, I'm afraid it'll be a very big project … I think these floating points are very similar to words!"
"Words?" Mu Sheng asked with some confusion, "But I didn't find any pattern at all, Brother Xia, how did you know?"
Xia Ruofei said, "These black dots on the surface of the floating points, according to the arrangement, may represent completely different meanings. I found that among these three thousand floating points, some of the floating points' surface patterns are completely the same, such as here … here … "
Xia Ruofei pointed at the corresponding floating points on the command token, and then continued, "Among the floating points on the back of this command token, the one with the most repetitions seems to be 15 times, and there are some floating points with slightly less repetitions. Look, don't these floating points look like words? Each floating point represents a word. And if the black dot pattern appears repeatedly, it might be a more common word. The more it appears, the more frequently the word 'Ming' is used … "
"It really does look a little similar!" Mu Sheng said after looking carefully.
Liu Mansha said, "I also think that Brother Xia's deduction is relatively close to the truth! But … the pattern on each floating point is different. With so many floating points, it shouldn't be an easy task to decipher them! "
"Brother Xia's deduction is very likely correct!" Chen Xuan said, "No matter what, today's command token didn't let us return empty-handed. In the research of the Five Saints Token, at least we've made a big step forward!"
