Chapter 3441: This Trip Was Worth It
Su Pu leaped into the gap, and waves of enormous auras surged out from it, exploding in the air one after another.
The divine runes in the sky flashed and glowed, like countless small suns illuminating the surroundings.
Lin Moyu looked at the divine rune formation in the sky, combining it with the divine rune formation on the ground for comprehensive analysis.
With the ancient divine rune formations as reference, Lin Moyu gained a lot of experience, much better than fumbling on his own.
His understanding of divine runes rapidly improved at this moment. In just a few minutes, he gained more than he would have from a day of comprehension on his own.
This included how divine runes could be used and combined with each other, how to make each divine rune play its role, and how they could enhance each other.
A large amount of comprehension flooded his mind in a short time, drilling into his soul and leaving a deep imprint.
Gradually, Lin Moyu's eyes grew brighter. He discovered that divine runes, in a sense, were similar to Dao patterns.
Dao patterns would resonate with each other and amplify each other. The more Dao patterns, the stronger the amplification.
Using two Dao patterns to enhance a technique, when you have ten Dao patterns, the effect of these two Dao patterns is one. But when you have twenty Dao patterns, the effect of the two Dao patterns might be two or even three.
Divine runes had a similar effect. In a divine rune formation, the more divine runes there were, the more closely they worked together, the stronger they amplified each other, and the better the effect of the divine rune formation.
The same divine rune formation built with 100 divine runes versus 200 divine runes would have vastly different effects.
However, the more divine runes used, the higher the requirements for the formation maker. It wasn't a matter of using as many as you wanted. Sometimes using too many could lead to the collapse of the entire divine rune formation if not handled properly.
Various insights came in rapid succession. Lin Moyu stood there motionless, almost forgetting that Su Pu was fighting in the gap, and forgetting that he was in Nine Heavens Peak, which wasn't safe.
At this moment, in his vision there were only divine runes, nothing else.
He wasn't simply learning about divine runes, but comprehending their essence.
"If I'm not mistaken, divine runes should have evolved from Dao patterns."
"They have too many similarities with Dao patterns. If so, could I also use Dao patterns to set up formations?"
Lin Moyu felt he might be thinking too wildly. Using Dao patterns to set up formations was something no one had ever done before.
But he also gained an insight from this - divine runes may be many, but they still need to maintain balance.
Using Dao patterns to enhance techniques, one very important point is balance. The same is true for divine runes.
"This trip was worth it. What a great place," Lin Moyu murmured, obvious excitement in his eyes.
When he came back to his senses, a long time had passed.
Su Pu had already returned, holding a broken sword in his hand.
This sword was badly broken, with most of the hilt gone, leaving less than a palm's length. The blade had many cracks.
Even in this state, its power was no weaker than a seventh-level Dao Venerable, and it would actively attack.
It had no spirit at all, but would attack anyone who approached.
Taking the broken sword from Su Pu's hand, Lin Moyu murmured, "Broken like this, yet still able to attack. Remarkable. If it were an ordinary treasure, it would have collapsed long ago."
"The Cloud-Piercing Sword seems intact, with its spirit still there, but it fell from ninth-level Dao Venerable to seventh-level. If this sword were intact, it would likely far surpass ninth-level Dao Venerable."
Lin Moyu could roughly determine that this sword's level was at least Great Dao realm. Only a Great Dao realm treasure could possibly be like this.
He put it into his storage space, leaped over the gap, and continued upwards.
Walking less than a hundred meters, Lin Moyu saw many pits on the ground, as if someone had punched it.
There were countless pits.
But the divine rune formation on the ground was still intact. How were these pits created?
Looking carefully, the ground was slowly recovering. In just a minute, the pitted areas returned to normal, showing no trace of damage.
This situation made Lin Moyu alert. For this to happen, it meant this place had just been attacked.
Lin Moyu looked around. "I don't sense any power residue. The ones who attacked here weren't those elders."
"If not those elders, then it must be something that exists within Nine Heavens Peak itself."
Suddenly, numerous divine runes lit up in the sky. Streams of divine runes separated from the formation, turning into colorful clouds swirling in the sky.
The next second, countless fists fell from the colorful clouds, like raindrops towards the ground.
Lin Moyu quickly retreated, not meeting the fists head-on.
The fists landed on the ground, creating large areas of pits. Lin Moyu finally knew where the pits came from.
The colorful clouds existed for just a moment before disappearing without a trace. The pitted areas they created also began to recover.
Lin Moyu looked for a while and roughly understood what was happening. The divine rune formation here had problems. The colorful clouds came from the divine rune formation and had probably once blocked enemies here.
After the great battle ended, the divine rune formation was damaged, and the colorful clouds would occasionally manifest and attack this area.
Lin Moyu watched another wave of colorful clouds, calculated the interval between them, and quickly moved upwards after the clouds disappeared.
But as soon as he stepped into that area, the just-disappeared colorful clouds appeared again. Numerous fists fell from above. Lin Moyu had no choice but to retreat.
Although the formation was damaged, it had still firmly guarded this area for countless years, not letting anyone approach.
For Lin Moyu to pass through, he would either have to force his way through or find a way around.
These fists seemed not strong, but each punch was much stronger than an eighth-level Dao Venerable, almost reaching the level of a ninth-level Dao Venerable.
There were many ways to force through, such as having Su Pu clear the way. However, Lin Moyu didn't want to do this.
"This is a good opportunity."
Lin Moyu looked at the divine rune formation evolving the colorful clouds. He could see that the divine rune formation was damaged.
He planned to repair it.
For him, this was a considerable challenge, and also his first intimate contact with a divine rune formation.
Whether he could do it or not, Lin Moyu wasn't sure. But since he encountered it, it would be a shame to just walk away.
The process of repairing the formation was also a process of familiarizing himself with divine runes, and also a process of familiarizing himself with the entire Nine Heavens Peak formation.
Lin Moyu felt that familiarizing himself with the Nine Heavens Peak formation would be extremely important for him to reach the peak.
Nine Heavens Peak would open for a month each time, so he wasn't in a hurry. He began to study this formation.
When no one entered the attack range, colorful clouds would evolve every few minutes, each time attacking for several minutes.
The interval varied, from two minutes at the longest to one minute at the shortest, always changing within this range.
Once someone stepped into the attack range, the colorful clouds would appear immediately and attack.
Lin Moyu had Su Pu try it out. The attack would continue for a long time and wouldn't retreat on its own.
Only when Su Pu retreated would the colorful clouds disappear.
Lin Moyu had Su Pu act as bait several times, deliberately triggering the formation to allow him to observe.
Verifying with what he had learned, constantly simulating in his mind, he slowly arrived at the correct answer.
He crushed eighth-grade premium Origin crystals into powder, fused it with soul power to make ink, and began to draw divine runes.
This was his first time formally drawing divine runes. Lin Moyu drew carefully, striving for stability.
With extensive experience in drawing runes, he succeeded in drawing the more complex divine runes on his first try.
