Chapter 14895 Six Stars is Not the Goal
The team set off again, and this time, everyone abandoned their previous complacency and became even more vigilant.
Dozens of powerful members of the Sacred Rune Academy tightly protected Ji Mingkong and his companions in the center. Each of them activated the power of the Sacred Runes, spreading their divine sense to the extreme, and were on high alert for any movement around them, fearing that another terrifying expert like the woman in the white dress might appear.
Weiwei walked beside Ji Mingkong, her face still showing lingering fear, and whispered:
"Sister Mingkong, that golden-armored senior was amazing... He chased that bad woman away in one move, he was like a god!"
Ji Mingkong didn't speak, only nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed firmly ahead, but in his mind, the words spoken by the golden-armored man when he appeared kept replaying:
"These people are under my protection."
Who sent him?
Who exactly is the golden-armored man's disciple? And why did he save them?
And that woman in the white dress, why did she kill us young people who had just entered the chaotic martial arts world?
What secret is hidden in her statement, "You shouldn't be causing chaos in the martial arts world at this time"?
A series of questions piled up in Ji Mingkong's mind, tangled together like a mess of yarn, but she knew that now was not the time to investigate these questions.
The most urgent task is to reach the Holy Rune Academy as soon as possible. Only when we get there and see Ling Xiao will we find the answers to everything.
As long as Ling Xiao is there... everything will be alright.
Ji Mingkong raised her head, gazing towards the distant direction of the Holy Rune Academy. The doubt in her eyes gradually gave way to determination. She took a deep breath and addressed the crowd in a solemn voice:
"Let's go, speed up, we must get to the Holy Rune Academy as soon as possible!"
……
Holy Rune Academy, Holy Rune Tower.
This nine-story tower is the core forbidden area of the Holy Emblem Academy.
The tower is made of cold jade imbued with rich spiritual energy, and is surrounded by faint holy runes. It is usually heavily guarded, and only a handful of people can enter. Only the academy's top elders and core disciples are qualified to approach it.
Today, the seventh floor of the Sacred Mark Tower was brightly lit, and dozens of white-haired elders gathered together, their expressions solemn and dignified, their eyes all focused on the figure in the center of the tower, a sense of tension and anticipation filling the air.
Ling Xiao stood before the massive stone platform in the center of the tower. On the platform lay a specially made blank holy rune stone, its surface as lustrous as jade, perfectly capable of bearing the power of high-level holy runes.
Around the stone platform, seven different colors of sacred ink were neatly arranged: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, corresponding to the seven different elemental forces of fire, earth, metal, wood, wind, water, and thunder. The ink was rich in fragrance and exuded spiritual energy.
"Grandmaster, you're not joking, are you? You actually plan to refine a seven-star high-grade holy rune stone? Do you know how difficult that is?"
Jiang Chuan looked at Ling Xiao helplessly, unsure how to persuade him. "You should also know that in the entire Chaotic Martial World, there are no more than three people who can truly refine a seven-star high-grade holy rune stone."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I know."
There was no tension on his face, as if it were just a trivial matter.
"You know you're still planning to try? If you ask me, that's a complete waste of time."
Jiang Chuan was clearly getting anxious. "Do you know how many years those three spent becoming high-level seven-star Saint Rune Masters?"
Ling Xiao shook his head: "I'm not quite sure, can you tell me?"
"Forty-seven years!"
Jiang Chuan said loudly, "And Junior Grandmaster, do you know that this is the person who took the shortest time? Although you are exceptionally talented, don't be too arrogant. We don't have forty-seven years now, not even four years. We only have half a year at most!"
Ling Xiao, still smiling, looked at Jiang Chuan and the people around him, the high-ranking members of the Holy Rune Academy: "They are them, and I am me! Why can't I be the first to carry on the legacy and usher in the future?"
Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment.
Those around them were at a loss for words. Should they say that this young grandmaster was too arrogant?
They dare not!
After all, this junior master did indeed create a legend.
"Alright, Junior Grandmaster, since you're determined to do it, then go ahead. The Dean has already given instructions that you can use the resources of the Holy Rune Academy as you please. If you succeed, you'll definitely be the number one person in the Holy Rune circle of the White Ze Continent."
Jiang Chuan sighed and didn't try to dissuade him any further. Although he didn't think highly of Ling Xiao, it seemed that Ling Xiao's decision was irreversible.
As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," and after experiencing failure, I believe the young master will be able to wake up.
Therefore, for the next period of time, Ling Xiao devoted himself to the study of the Holy Rune Path. He knew very well that cultivation level could not be improved in a short period of time, but the Holy Rune Path could.
As long as he can refine a seven-star high-level holy rune master, he will be qualified to fight against the Black Death King.
It can even be used to protect the Holy Rune Academy.
Everything outside was temporarily irrelevant to him, and he had no interest in caring about it.
Every day, besides conducting experiments, I read books.
Even the higher-ups at the Holy Rune Academy couldn't understand the contents of that book about Holy Runes. Yao Tianji understood a little, but only vaguely. No one could teach him; he had to figure it out on his own.
Those obscure and difficult theoretical knowledge are the most torturous. Every piece of text requires wholehearted understanding. Without guidance from others, sometimes he has to ponder a single symbol for a long time.
However, he did not back down.
Because he understands that hardship is nothing compared to what he truly fears: not having enough time and the feeling of helplessness he feels when facing danger.
Just like last time in the underworld, watching Xiao Lianzhu being attacked by so many people, there was really so little he could do.
He didn't want that!
He must become stronger!
We must break this deadlock!
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Ling Xiao never left the Holy Rune Tower; it had practically become his home.
Even though he knew that Ji Mingkong and the others had arrived at the Holy Rune Academy, he didn't have time to go see them.
Friends can be seen anytime, but research cannot stop for a moment. The enemy will not give him time, and he has no idea when the Black Death King will be able to break the seal.
The six-month timeframe is not actually precise; the Black Death King's escape will likely occur sooner.
In the past month, he finally solved several problems in refining holy runes, deciphered some of the secrets of the symbols, and initially mastered the knack of refining six-star and seven-star advanced holy runes.
Thus began another three months of frantic experimentation and study.
Finally, the last day of the third month has arrived.
Ling Xiao arrived at the laboratory, his holy rune pen glowing as he carefully drew holy runes on the holy rune crystal.
tension!
exhausted!
These are not problems.
Because Ling Xiao had already experienced those things, he was not afraid. After a full hour, he finished his last stroke.
In that instant, the entire Sacred Stone emitted a dazzling six-colored light, making people's eyes light up.
The violent power of the holy runes even caused the entire Holy Rune Tower to shake.
"It's a six-star high-grade holy rune stone! My junior master is truly a genius!"
In the distance, Jiang Chuan, who had been watching the Holy Rune Tower intently, suddenly stood up, filled with excitement.
Originally, he thought it would take Ling Xiao at least three years to successfully refine a six-star high-grade holy rune stone.
As a result, it was completed in just three months!
Looking back now, I realize that my junior master wasn't exaggerating at all.
He rushed to the Holy Rune Tower and met Ling Xiao.
But they found Ling Xiao looking rather sullen.
"Grandmaster, you refined a six-star high-grade holy rune stone in just three months! That's a record-breaking achievement. Even the three top holy rune masters are not as good as you. Why are you so unhappy?"
Ling Xiao sighed: "What I need is not six stars, but seven stars. Six stars is not enough at all. It's okay to fight against ordinary Void Extinction Realm experts, but it won't be enough against stronger opponents."
"I must refine it into a high-grade seven-star holy rune stone! That's my goal!"
