Early Qin referred to the era before the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. It started from the time when humans were born and ended in 221 BC when Emperor Qin destroyed the six states.
The Bell and Cauldron Script was also called the Golden Script. It was carved on the bronze wares of the Zhou Dynasty. The Golden Script was used from the early Shang Dynasty until the Qin destroyed the six states. The Zhou Dynasty was the most prosperous.
Inside the temple, lines of the Bell and Cauldron Script were carved on the mottled ancient walls. They were strong and majestic. The Qi was dense and the atmosphere was solemn.
Ye Fan looked at them attentively. There were 215 ancient characters. The strokes were strong and slim as if they were alive.
He recognized 69 characters but couldn't understand the other 146 characters. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't understand them.
Among the sixty-nine ancient characters that he recognized, nine of them were inferred based on the meaning of the text. These ancient characters were really too ancient.
Even a real scholar couldn't recognize all the Bell and Cauldron Script. On the other side of the universe, the later generations could only recognize some of these characters.
"Qi Practitioner of the Early Qin Dynasty …" Ye Fan was shocked. These were the characters left by the ancient people from the other side of the universe.
He read the records carefully. Although he couldn't recognize most of the characters, he had a preliminary understanding that this person belonged to the Early Qin Dynasty in ancient China.
However, he couldn't figure out who he was and whether he had a prominent position in the ancient history. After all, there were 150 characters that he couldn't recognize.
"Qi Practitioner …" It was the first time he had heard of such a term.
These three characters made Ye Fan daydream. He seemed to see a mysterious period of time. There were secrets in the ancient times that no one knew about.
He could recognize 69 characters, but they weren't connected. It was hard to connect them. After reading for a long time, he could only vaguely understand some of them.
This Qi Practitioner of the Early Qin Dynasty didn't cross the void and come to the other side of the universe. There was a reason in the Bell and Cauldron Script, but he couldn't recognize it.
"Is this a secret technique?" the big black dog asked impatiently.
"No!"
"Kid, you're hiding something. We found it at the same time. Decipher it," the big black dog urged.
Ye Fan didn't mind it, turning to Tu Fei. "Are there other worlds outside this one? Have you ever heard of them?"
Tu Fei was skeptical, shaking his head. "Never heard of it."
"What do you know …?" Beside him, the large black dog seemed to be astonished, and he said, "These bird characters are records about this?"
Ye Fan suddenly thought that this big dog was very mysterious. Perhaps it knew many secrets that no one knew, so he said, "Have you heard of it before?"
"I … have heard a little about it." The Black Emperor replied, then asked impatiently, "What exactly is recorded in these strange words on the wall?"
Tu Fei also looked at them. He also wanted to know the history of this Daoist temple.
"The things recorded on it are unimaginable. It says that there is another world on the other side of the starry sky …"
"What?!" Tu Fei screamed in fear. "Are there really immortals?"
The big black dog's eyes twinkled, asking further. "More details. Translate all the characters on the wall. Let us know more."
"The people in that place call themselves Qi Practitioners. This is a Qi Practitioner from the Pre-Qin Dynasty. He crossed the endless starry sky and came to this place, leaving these stone carvings."
"How … could it be? Is it true?" Tu Fei was shocked, gawking and tongue-tied. "Are the Pre-Qin Qi Practitioners that strong? Could they be as strong as Emperors?"
Ye Fan said, "He didn't come here by himself. He followed the path left by the ancients and came to this world unknowingly."
"Ancients … What kind of people were they? Did they travel through many star areas?" Tu Fei's heart was stirred as he had many thoughts.
The big black dog's eyes shot out two sharp beams of light. "Where did he go? If we can catch him, we will get priceless treasures."
"Someone has come to this world. Has no one sensed it?" Ye Fan was disappointed. He thought he could get some clues from them.
"If he's not from this world, he will try to conceal himself. So many years have passed. If he's still alive, he should be as strong as the Great Sage." Tu Fei guessed that this temple had at least two thousand years of history.
Ye Fan nodded. A person from the Pre-Qin Dynasty was at least two thousand years ago. If he was still alive, he could have become the Sovereign Sect Master of a big sect.
"Kid, how do you know these bird characters?" The big black dog's eyes sparkled, gazing at Ye Fan meaningfully.
Tu Fei was also suspicious. He looked at Shi Yan with a puzzled face.
"I used to read an ancient book. There are some characters like this with some simple notes. I know some of them," Ye Fan answered calmly.
"Teach me. These characters are very mysterious. I want to learn them," the big black dog said.
Ye Fan answered without hesitation, "Okay, no problem. I'll teach you one character, and you teach me one Dao pattern."
The large black dog instantly rolled his eyes, and a resentful expression appeared on his face. Dao patterns were his ultimate technique, and Ye Fan had been eyeing him for a long time now. However, he had never managed to obtain anything from him.
"Black Emperor, you haven't told me yet. Have you heard about the world on the other side of the galaxy?" Ye Fan asked.
"I know too little. A great emperor only said one or two sentences. I don't know the details."
"Can you be more specific?" Ye Fan wanted to punch him.
"How can I be specific? I only know that the great emperor often gazed at the stars at night. I don't know anything else." The big black dog shook his head.
"Damn dog, are you hiding something?" Ye Fan asked.
"Woof!" The big black dog bared his teeth, pretending to pounce.
"You really don't know?" Ye Fan was suspicious.
"If I knew, would I ask you? I only know that it's the great emperor's secret. Outsiders don't know, "the big black dog answered angrily.
Night fell, and the scorching desert became colder and colder. Late at night, it was bone-piercing cold. An ordinary person would definitely be frozen.
Ye Fan gazed at the stars. He was looking for a way back.
"The ancients could travel through the void. I can too. I'll definitely go back in the future …" He felt that there must be many secrets in his hometown in the ancient times.
"Brat, do you really think you're a great emperor?" the Black Emperor said mockingly as he lay beside the temple.
"Did the great emperor look at the stars every night?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
"Not every night. Occasionally, he would be lost in thought, and he would sit there for an entire night," the Black Emperor answered with a yawn.
"How do you know so clearly?" Ye Fan asked suddenly.
Tu Fei woke up too. He leaned against the wall of the temple, opened his eyes, and said, "This damn dog has many secrets. He just doesn't want to tell us. He only knows how to snatch other people's things greedily, and he never shares anything with others."
"Woof!" The dog's bark pierced through the night sky.
"Alright, don't bite me."
"I heard all this from others. How can the great emperor's secrets be so easy to know? I won't tell others even if they cry and beg me."
"Which galaxy did that great emperor like to see?" Ye Fan asked.
"Many. Purple Micro, Supreme Micro …" The big black dog casually said a few names.
Ye Fan returned to the temple and observed the characters again. He copied them with his hand and studied them carefully. Finally, he guessed another word, and that was … Purple Micro!
The Qi Practitioners of the Pre-Qin Dynasty mentioned this word in the characters, and this moved Ye Fan. Then, he started to copy it on the wall.
Rustle, rustle …
Suddenly, the stone wall fell like dust. All the characters disappeared, and a large part of the mottled ancient wall fell off.
Was it because it was too old, or was there another reason? Ye Fan's heart moved. He used his finger to draw a line. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the stone inscription completely disappeared. A thick layer fell off.
"Ding!"
With a light sound, a dim metal box appeared in the decayed wall. It was dull, old, and ordinary.
"Here comes the treasure!" the big black dog shouted. He pounced forward, baring his teeth as he wanted to fight with Ye Fan.
Tu Fei was behind him. He grabbed his bald tail and stopped him from moving forward.
"Woof!"
Just like how one couldn't touch a tiger's butt, the big black dog's bald tail was also a forbidden area. He turned around and started to bite.
Ye Fan cut open the wall and took out the metal box. It was long and made of bronze. It was about three feet long and a palm wide. It was tightly sealed.
The bronze metal box was heavy and cold. There was a weak divine power on it.
Ye Fan understood immediately. The wall was originally sealed. However, because of the passage of time, the divine power leaked out, and many stone chips fell off.
"Woof!"
The big black dog bit Tu Fei a few times and finally stopped. He quickly moved closer to observe the long bronze box.
"Stay here. Don't steal it!" Ye Fan warned him.
"Don't worry. I just want to see. Why would I steal something from my own people?" the big black dog answered, raising his bald tail.
"Damn it! Damn dog!" Tu Fei cursed. A row of teeth marks appeared on his calf. He walked over, swaying.
Two people and a dog were looking forward to it. After all, it was left by a Qi Practitioner from the other side of the universe. Ye Fan was a little nervous.
He took out the cauldron and put it above his head. Flows of Black and Yellow Qi poured down to protect his body. Then, he slowly opened the long metal box.
The lid of the bronze box was opened. There was no treasure light or auspicious light. There was even no fluctuation of divine power.
Inside the metal box was a wooden whip. It was simple, simple, and carved with many mysterious patterns. The more people looked at it, the more attractive it became.
It was more than three feet long and had more than twenty segments. Every segment had several complex patterns that were clearly engraved on it. It was natural and mysterious.
"A wooden whip from the other side of the universe. What kind of treasure is it?" Ye Fan was surprised.
Among the Pre-Qin Dynasty characters, who had a wooden whip? He thought it over and over again.
The big black dog was an expert. Seeing this wooden whip that looked like an iron sword, he almost drooled because each section of the whip had mysterious patterns of Dao.
"Is it a supreme treasure of a faction? But I don't feel any fluctuation of divine power from it?" Tu Fei asked.
"Buzz!"
The wooden whip shook slightly and flew out of the metal box, flying toward the big black dog.
"Damn dog, you really want it?!" Ye Fan said angrily.
"As soon as I saw this treasure, I knew it was destined to be mine. I don't want the Source I got from the cow nose anymore. I'll give it all to you. I only want this wooden whip!" The big black dog held the wooden whip tightly with his big paws.
"What a greedy dog! You want to take the treasure as soon as you see it!" Tu Fei gritted his teeth.
"Aooo …" Suddenly, the large black dog let out a bloodcurdling howl, and tossed the wooden whip onto the ground. Then, it stood on its hind legs and began to jump around. Its front paws were wrapped around its head, and its mouth was wide open as it howled in pain.
"Damn dog, what's wrong with you?" Ye Fan asked.
"Damn it! My Soul Consciousness is attacked," the big black dog screamed in pain.
"You deserve it. Who told you to be so greedy?" Ye Fan didn't feel sorry for him. Last time, he was convulsing on the ground because he wanted to take the fruit from the stone millstone. Today, he did it again.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Tu Fei was suspicious. He didn't dare to touch the wooden whip. He circled it and observed, but he didn't find anything strange.
"Ah …" All of a sudden, he screamed, covering his forehead.
"Brother Tu, are you okay?" Ye Fan was surprised.
"Don't use your Soul Consciousness to check it. This wooden whip attacks the Soul Consciousness," Tu Fei said.
Ye Fan was moved. He picked up the wooden whip and held it in his hand, mumbling to himself, "Is this a wooden whip that can attack the Soul Consciousness?"
The divine whip left by the Pre-Qin Dynasty Qi Practitioners came from the other side of the universe. This kind of treasure could be left by a famous Qi Practitioner.
