Fang Yun gave a carefree smile and said, "So it's the Shepherd Star, a pinnacle foreign race."
Regarding the Shepherd Star, it appeared in the Ancient Fey Legacy, but it was not detailed.
It was just that in one of the legacy diagrams, there was a human-shaped sage holding a huge six-sided black iron whip. The whip was like an inverted tower, and with a casual wave, the long whip split the void, creating a path in the void. The stars were like sheep, entering the path created by the divine whip.
The stars were endless, pouring down like a torrent, turning into a river of stars that surged forward.
As for what the Shepherd Star looked like, there were no records in the Mountain Carrying Legacy.
The Mountain Carrying Legacy only recorded that the Shepherd Star was a race with very few members. They were often passed down from generation to generation, and it was unknown how they gave birth to their descendants. It was not even clear what their specific strength was.
There was only a rumor that a Dragon Emperor wanted the six-sided black iron whip and wanted to snatch it. He fought with the Shepherd Star until the heavens collapsed and the earth split. The hundred worlds were in chaos, and the stars were destroyed.
The Dragon Emperor's scales scattered, turning into countless stars, forming an ancient star region.
As for the outcome of the battle, there were no detailed records. Anyway, the Dragon Emperor did not die, and the six-sided black iron whip was still in the hands of the Shepherd Star.
Fang Yun did not fully comprehend the two words "Shepherd Star", and only guessed it through various means.
However, this was the correct translation. Fang Yun only felt that a door had opened in front of him. With the correct direction, he continued to study the star text.
Day after day, Fang Yun was completely immersed in the mysterious and vast text.
Finally, Fang Yun succeeded in deciphering it!
Every star text was the process of a star's destruction.
There were ordinary small stars made of stone, bigger stars that formed their own world, stars that had a core of ice that constantly scattered large amounts of ice shards as it revolved, stars that contained endless flames, and stars that were extremely small and heavy …
Every star rune was a special process of the birth and death of a star.
Every star text could only be translated on the surface, but the true meaning and spirit of the words could not be explained in human language.
It could only be understood, but not explained.
Fang Yun first began to comprehend the word "star". After completely comprehending it, he felt that not only had he learned a new system of knowledge, but he also seemed to have experienced a new life.
Not his life, but the life of a star.
From birth to death, from beginning to end.
However, this was only Fang Yun's own understanding. As for the specific spirit contained in this word and the true meaning it represented, Fang Yun always felt that there was a thin layer of gauze in front of him.
Fang Yun was not discouraged. Now that he had a preliminary understanding, it was already a huge gain.
The more Star Runes he learned, the more shocked Fang Yun became.
This language was completely different from any other language. It was not a tool language at all.
In the understanding of literature and most races, words must have a few characteristics. They were easy to learn, easy to spread, and easy to record. Only in this way could almost everyone, even the most stupid person, be able to learn words, obtain the information within, and inherit everything from the sages.
If a language was too complicated, it would definitely cause many people to have difficulties in reading, writing, and understanding it.
In history, there were some monarchs who purposely made the language complicated to make it difficult to learn. This increased the cost of learning the language and made it harder for people to obtain knowledge. It even made it so that most ordinary people could only recognize a small number of simple words.
This was because if one wanted to know enough words to truly understand and use them, it would require many years of cultivation. It was not something that could be done in a few years. For many families in some places and eras, they did not have enough wealth to provide for their descendants. Even if they provided for them, they might not be able to become useful. This greatly reduced the possibility of the people at the bottom breaking through the social class barrier and obtaining a channel to rise.
Therefore, universal education and simplification of the language were the work of saints.
Tool language and artistic language could come from the same source, but they could not be confused.
However, Star Runes were different. Rather than calling them words, they were a complete and indivisible system of knowledge. This was because the Shepherds were born with a unique spiritual sense. They did not use the human language of listening, speaking, reading, and writing to communicate. Instead, they directly used spiritual sense.
Therefore, Star Runes were tool, artistic, mysterious … and had almost all kinds of characteristics.
The nature of Star Runes was very different from the human language, but they had certain similarities with the ancient demon heritage. The Ancient Fey heritage was not written in words. It was filled with pictures, but each picture was a complete story or experience.
With the complete experience of the word "Xing", Fang Yun began to delve into every Star Rune, as if he had taken an unhealthy spiritual addiction. He experienced the birth and death of every star.
After a long period of study, Fang Yun deciphered part of the Star Runes in the bone fragment and the giant stone house.
There were still some Star Runes that could not be deciphered. There were two main reasons.
First, some of the Star Runes contained special power. One had to experience that power before being able to recognize the words. For example, some stars were very rare. Fang Yun had never seen them before, so he would never be able to understand them.
There were also some Star Runes that could only be understood after one reached the Saint Position. They required Divine Path Spiritual Sense.
Fang Yun vaguely felt that at his level, he could not see the two words "Shepherd Star" in the giant stone house. Perhaps it was the power of the Divine Moon Phase Stone or something else that allowed him to see it.
This was because the two words "Shepherd Star" were the core of the Star Runes. If he could not understand these two words, he would not be able to learn a single Star Rune.
After deciphering part of the Star Runes, Fang Yun began to read the two bone fragments and the contents on the wall.
The two bone fragments were one, like the upper and lower volumes of a book.
The two bone fragments were similar to a travelogue. They recorded the experiences of a foreign disciple of the Shepherd Star after he left the Shepherd Star.
These events were very mystical. Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, all the places, people, and things had nothing to do with the present. Occasionally, some Dragons would appear. There were also some Emperor Clan ruins. These were the things that had the deepest connection to Fang Yun.
However, the two bone fragments miraculously recorded the way to enter part of the herb garden. This was because the disciple had been the caretaker and nurturer of the herb garden.
After reading the bone fragments, Fang Yun began to decipher the black Star Runes on the wall.
Fang Yun could recognize many of the words, but he could not understand what they meant when they were put together.
Fang Yun forced himself to decipher them. In the end, it did not take long for him to bleed from his seven orifices. He immediately stopped.
"It should be because my level is too low …"
Fang Yun sighed softly, but he was not too dispirited.
Although Fang Yun could not obtain complete information from the wall, he could still obtain some information about the Spirit Powder.
For example, this herb garden was created by the last generation of the Shepherd Star. Anyone who was related to the Shepherd Star and could read the Star Runes could obtain divine items from it. However, they could not take them indiscriminately, nor could they destroy them.
As for the Wall of Nine Dragons, the Star Runes in the stone house warned not to touch it carelessly. Otherwise, disaster would befall.
The Star Runes in the stone house also specifically mentioned the Star Fruit. It was planted by the last generation of the Shepherd Star using the strongest method of the clan. It was originally for his own consumption, but in the end, he said that he might not be able to return. If his descendants could use it, they could eat it.
