Linlong discovered that there were a few books inside, and they were all about runes.
After taking them out and taking a closer look, he realized that the knowledge inside was something that he had never seen before. What made him overjoyed was that the knowledge clearly had something in common with the Runic Magic Circle in front of him.
Perhaps he would be able to crack the Runic Magic Circle after reading these books. With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately focused all his attention on the basic books.
As he read, he compared the knowledge inside with the Runic Magic Circle in front of him.
Time passed by slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Linlong finally finished reading these books. After he finished reading, he buried his head in contemplation.
After some time, Linlong revealed a hint of joy on his face. He felt that he was about to find the trick, as if he was about to poke a hole in a paper window.
However, what made him feel helpless was that he could not find a way to break through the paper window no matter how hard he tried.
Perhaps he would be able to find a way after experimenting. With that thought in mind, Linlong stopped thinking and walked to the Runic Magic Circle. He then began fiddling with it.
In the end, he still felt helpless because no matter what he did, he could not break through the paper window.
Feeling helpless, Linlong shifted his gaze to the old man. He realized that the old man had opened his eyes at some point in time.
"Old mister, I vaguely feel that I can crack this Runic Magic Circle. However, I can't break through the last layer of paper window no matter what. I wonder if you can give me some hints?" Linlong asked.
To his surprise, the old man shook his head. "Don't ask me because I don't know how to crack this Runic Magic Circle either."
"You don't know either?" Linlong could not help but be a little surprised.
"Yes. Even though I've been here for god knows how many years, I still can't think of a way to crack this Runic Magic Circle." The old man shook his head and sighed.
"You've been here for so many years, and you still can't crack this Runic Magic Circle. Wouldn't it be very difficult to crack this Runic Magic Circle?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"That's different. You're much better than me. I've been here for so many years, and I've never been confident that I can break through the last layer of paper window." The old man looked at Linlong in admiration.
"Is that so?" Hearing the old man's words, Linlong heaved a sigh of relief.
"You don't have to hurry to think about it. Listen to my story first," the old man said.
"Alright." Linlong nodded.
The elder then said, "This Runic Array is actually a simplified version of the Demon Clan's Runic Array outside."
"It's a simplified version of the Demon Clan's runic formation?" Linlong could not help but be surprised.
At this moment, he finally understood why it was so difficult to break this Runic Array.
"That's right, it's the simplified version of the Demon Clan's formation." The old man nodded, and then continued, "Back then, the strength of our Human Clan and the Demon Clan were on par. The reason why there was a divide was because a peerlessly talented expert appeared in the Demon Clan that year. Not only was that expert powerful, his talent in the study of Talismans was also unparalleled. At that time, he gathered some Talisman Masters of the Demon Clan together, and then created the unprecedented Talisman Formation of the Demon Clan. Once the Talisman Formation was created, our Human Clan's cultivation methods other than demonic techniques were immediately restricted …"
"In the following days, the Human Clan was at a disadvantage. In order to crack this Runic Magic Circle, all the experts of the Human Clan gathered together. However, no matter how we thought about it, we could only roughly simplify the other party's Runic Magic Circle to the Runic Magic Circle in front of you. We couldn't crack it at all."
"We hoped that one of our descendants would be able to crack it, but unfortunately, no one had the ability and talent to do so. As the Human Clan withered, in order to preserve hope, all the experts gathered once again and used a certain secret technique to imprison my soul here, waiting for the fated one."
After hearing the old man's words, Linlong could not help but take out the Demon Sword and ask, "What does this Demon Sword represent?"
After taking a look at the Demon Sword in Linlong's hand, the old man said, "The meaning of this Demon Sword is that we hope that people with powerful demonic techniques and spirit will can enter this world. Only then will they be able to reach this place and have a higher chance of cracking this Runic Magic Circle."
After a slight pause, the old man continued, "Of course, the power of this Demon Sword is extraordinary. However, no matter how extraordinary it is, there's no way to crack this Runic Magic Circle using it."
"Then how should I use this Demon Sword?" Linlong asked again.
He had previously thought of many methods, but still could not stimulate the potential of this Demon Sword.
"Using this Demon Sword requires a small trick from our Demon Clan. You're not a member of our Demon Clan, so it's naturally a little difficult for you. However, as long as I teach you this small trick, you'll be able to grasp it very quickly," said the old man. After that, he began to teach Linlong the small trick.
After some guidance, Linlong quickly learned the method to use this Demon Sword.
After understanding this, Linlong asked again, "I've been implanted with the rune of the Demon Clan's fire seed. I also have the pill formula to crack this Runic Magic Circle, but I'm lacking the most important ingredient. I heard that it's here. I wonder if it's true?"
"You're probably talking about the Thousand Fiber Grass, right?" The old man smiled.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"The Thousand Fiber Grass is behind this Runic Magic Circle. If you can crack this Runic Magic Circle, you'll be able to find the Thousand Fiber Grass," said the old man.
"Oh." Linlong nodded.
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. Continue to work hard." With that, the old man closed his eyes again.
Linlong, on the other hand, focused his attention on cracking the Runic Magic Circle again. After his conversation with the old man, he was no longer in such a hurry. Instead, he felt more confident.
One had to know that so many of them had not been able to figure it out in their entire lives, but he, on the other hand, had almost solved the runic formation in such a short period of time. Hence, his confidence was naturally boosted.
Once he was confident, Linlong was no longer anxious, and he quickly found the problem.
Once he found the problem and analyzed it in detail, a smile appeared on Linlong's face.
Then, after a few more attempts, the Runic Magic Circle in front of him actually produced a crackling sound. After that sound, the originally incomparably sturdy Runic Magic Circle actually became invisible.
"Heavens, it's actually cracked!"
At this moment, the old man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, also widened his eyes in shock. He stared at everything in front of him in disbelief.
Then, a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Looks like there's hope for the Human Clan."
After that, he actually choked with sobs. "How many years has it been? I originally thought that there was no hope …"
Linlong did not disturb him. Instead, he stood quietly at the side.
Soon, the old man regained his composure, and a smile once again appeared on his face. He looked at Linlong and said, "Sorry, I lost my composure … Alright, the Runic Magic Circle has been cracked. Pass through here and reach the opposite mountain peak. You will be able to find the Thousand Fiber Grass there. Once you find the Thousand Fiber Grass, you can leave this place."
"Alright." Linlong nodded and walked into the square.
After passing through the square, Linlong reached the mountain peak behind. This mountain peak looked very ordinary, but Linlong quickly found the Thousand Fiber Grass inside.
Once he found the Thousand Fiber Grass, he immediately started to refine a pill that could decipher the runes. With his ability, he was able to refine that pill very quickly.
Once he consumed it, a smile appeared on Linlong's face because he was sure that this pill would really work.
Indeed, after a while, the Runic Magic Circle that had been in his body was directly destroyed by the pill.
After that, Linlong returned to the square.
When he saw Linlong return, the old man immediately asked, "How was it? Did you find the Thousand Fiber Grass?"
"I found it, and it has already dissolved the Runic Magic Circle in my body." Linlong nodded.
"Very good." The old man praised, "I didn't expect you to be an alchemist as well."
After a slight pause, the old man continued, "After leaving this place, you can go to the Ancient Moon Pagoda in the Ancient Moon City. The core of the Runic Magic Circle is there. As long as you go there and use this deciphering method, you will most likely be able to crack the Runic Magic Circle. If you can really do that, our human race will no longer have to fear the Demon Race."
"In the Ancient Moon Pagoda?" Linlong could not help but be somewhat surprised when he heard the old man's words.
He had heard of the Ancient Moon Pagoda in the Ancient Moon City, but he did not expect it to be the core of the Runic Magic Circle.
"Yes," the old man affirmed.
"That's good." Linlong nodded.
"Alright, the future of the human race depends on you!" After saying that, the old man's figure suddenly trembled, and his phantom image actually became increasingly blurry.
"Old mister, what are you doing?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"The reason why my soul has always been here is because of this Runic Magic Circle. Since the Runic Magic Circle has been broken, I naturally cannot stay here for long … However, this is a kind of release for me, because my mission has been completed!" The old man smiled.
"Don't worry, I will do my best from now on." Linlong nodded heavily when he heard the old man's words.
"Very good." The old man smiled in a gratified manner.
Then, his phantom image completely disappeared.
After that, Linlong turned around and strode forward.
Soon, he returned to the stone bridge from before. Beside the stone bridge stood a figure. It was Xiaoyi, who had sent him here previously.
Seeing Linlong, Xiaoyi could not help but widen his eyes. He thought that he was hallucinating, but after confirming that it was Linlong, he cried out in joy, "Young Master Lin, you've returned?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Then have you found a way to crack the Runic Magic Circle?" Xiaoyi asked again.
"I found it." Linlong nodded again.
"That's great!" Xiaoyi could not help but cry out in joy.
"Xiaoyi, how long have I been in there?" Linlong asked.
"Three days." Xiaoyi nodded.
