Mingxi gazed into those eyes, which had seen so much, were steeped in the vicissitudes of life, yet remained as clear as ever, and quickly came to this conclusion.
Tu Yano smiled and nodded, “Yes, God’s Favor, these murals record the life of Lord Wei Yililu, the former Main God.”
Wei Yililu was the former owner of the Nine Gods Temple; in reality, she was a powerful Beast Tamers.
The so-called ‘Nine Gods’ were all her former companion beasts.
She single-handedly established this secluded Nine Gods Temple, becoming the owner of an independent space.
Although in her era and world, she had reached an unparalleled peak in the field of Beast Tamers, she never stopped pursuing a higher realm.
She spent her entire life trying to break the limits of life and become a true ‘God’.
In modern terms, it meant breaking through the physical shackles of both physical ability and brain capacity, achieving 100% development.
Unfortunately, she failed.
And the Nine Gods Temple lost its owner from then on.
Now, the humans in the Nine Gods Temple, apart from a few who entered by accident like Ming Zhiyun, are all descendants of Wei Yililu’s clan and her assisting servants from back then.
The Transcendent creatures include those specifically captured and released, and also the offspring of the human companion beasts from that time.
And those like Chiyu are bloodline descendants of Wei Yililu’s nine contracted companion beasts, among which the Sacred Foundation is the one with the best talent every thousand years.
“Then what exactly do God’s Favor and Tianyou mean? Are they related to this... Lord Wei Yililu?”
This question had greatly piqued Mingxi’s curiosity since she first heard it yesterday.
However, Tu Yano had merely smiled mysteriously, only saying, ‘You will know when the time comes,’ using the mystic’s trickery perfectly.
Tu Yano pointed to the blank jade wall directly opposite.
“The answer you seek is there.”
Mingxi had naturally noticed that wall long ago; unlike the other walls covered in murals, this front wall was notably large and white. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
It was a flawless white, looking like a single piece of white marble.
It was about eight or nine meters high and around twenty meters wide.
On the entire wall, not a single scratch could be seen, let alone a speck of dust.
Even with the surrounding thousand magnificent and exquisite murals, it still could not obscure its radiance.
It was like a white jade water lily blooming amidst a riot of colors, no matter how splendid the other flowers were, they couldn’t rival its transcendent independence.
“If I’m not mistaken, this white wall is the energy core of the entire Nine Gods Temple, isn’t it?”
Mingxi looked at the white jade wall, her eyes sparkling with intelligence.
She was currently in a state of spiritual power release, so everything in this palace appeared more ‘transparent’ to her.
The murals were ordinary murals, at most a little more exquisite, a lot more narrative, and the pigments used were a bit rarer.
Cough.
But they were indeed ordinary murals.
The truly extraordinary thing in this palace was actually only that white jade wall.
In Mingxi’s ‘sight’, it was almost surrounded by rule characters.
Their quantity was only second to the reverse god pillar.
But the reverse god pillar was more like a dictionary; all the rule characters did not possess real functions.
However, the rule characters that were currently manifested on this white jade wall were, like shen guan and Qianshan Path, all inherent.
In other words, these rule characters were all abilities possessed by the white jade wall.
It was an item.
Or rather, the entire Nine Gods Temple was an item, a super-scale large divine artifact, and the white jade wall was the core energy of this divine artifact.
“No wonder you could ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) help the True Evolution Vine complete its second evolution; you have probably already glimpsed the threshold of rule characters!”
Tu Yano had never underestimated Mingxi from the moment he saw her, but upon actual contact, he found that this young girl could still surprise him again and again.
“True Evolution Vine?” Mingxi repeated the term, and quickly thought of the vine tree that had greeted them all the way. “So it’s called True Evolution Vine? That’s a good name!”
“True Evolution was once an ordinary thousand-silk vine cultivated by my grandmaster.
My grandmaster was relatively... unstable when he was young, often causing his elders distress.”
When Tu Yano mentioned his grandmaster, his expression actually contorted uncontrollably, indicating that this grandmaster not only distressed his elders but also gave his juniors a headache.
“Shortly after he took over as Grand Priest, cough, he had a minor, harmless spat with a chief priest from a sub-temple, and the recently retired Grand Elder Priest felt that his temperament still needed to be tempered well.
So, the grandmaster was required to undergo closed-door cultivation in the Shen Yuan Palace for five full years.”
Mingxi raised an eyebrow; this use of ‘closed-door cultivation’ was quite clever.
To put it plainly, this grandmaster was grounded.
“The grandmaster was relatively... cough... lively. To pass the long hours of closed-door cultivation, he secretly brought in many miscellaneous things into the Shen Yuan Palace before his confinement, including True Evolution, which was then just a thousand-silk vine seedling.”
Unstable, lively.
Words are indeed profound.
His grandmaster, it was no exaggeration to call him a mischievous devil; if he hadn’t been the only one in their generation who could communicate with the Nine Gods Temple’s Shen Yuan, he would never have become the Grand Priest.
He was truly an unreliable person; the people and Transcendent creatures he had tormented could form several soccer teams.
As his grand-disciple, he suffered even more. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“Then, for some unknown reason, True Evolution evolved from an ordinary plant into a special plant imprinted with rule characters.” Tu Yano said with a soft sigh, “Since the emergence of this eccentric True Evolution Vine, the Main God Temple has added a rule: all Grand Priests, after their succession, must bring all their belongings and undergo five years of closed-door cultivation in the Shen Yuan Palace.”
Mingxi: “...”
No wonder Tu Yano had such deep resentment.
It could be said that his grandmaster, by his own efforts, ensured that all subsequent Grand Priests would have a period of highly anticipated confinement.
Five years of confinement, just thinking about it was sad.
“Then has a second True Evolution appeared?”
Mingxi asked curiously.
Tu Yano was expressionless.
Apparently not.
What could be more heartbreaking than being confined for five years for nothing?
Anyway, his ability to remain calm, self-disciplined, and courteous in all matters over the years was definitely greatly influenced by those five years.
“...Cough, the True Evolution Vine’s evolution into an exotic plant should be because this Shen Yuan possesses the ability of 【Nurture】.”
The rule character 【Nurture】, besides meaning gestation, cultivation, nourishment, and training, also represents inheritance.
【Nurture】 holds significant weight among rule characters.
It’s quite reasonable that the True Evolution Vine, having spent five years in the Shen Yuan Palace, coincidentally obtained part of the Shen Yuan’s inheritance, isn’t it?
Mingxi gently touched the white jade wall with her fingertip.
Something unexpected happened—a painting slowly emerged on the flawless white wall.
It was a portrait of Mingxi and the Golden Yuanbao Seven!
