Chapter 990 The Secret on the Dark Golden Paper

Seen from the surface, the bronze gourd looked similar to an ordinary gourd. It seemed to have been played with by someone for a long time. There was even a layer of faint paste on the outside. It was warm and shining. It seemed to be made of wood, but it was extremely heavy.

There were no symbols or engravings on it.

Li Mu played with the gourd for a while. Several times, he wanted to open the cork, but he hesitated.

He didn’t know what was in the gourd. What if it was a demon or something? If he opened the gourd, it would be released.

He had to be on his guard.

After thinking for a while, he put the gourd aside and observed the dark golden paper.

This piece of paper was about the size of two palms of an adult, and it was heavier than the bronze gourd. To be exact, it was much heavier. He held it, and it was as heavy as a mountain. The two sides of it were covered with dense text lines and symbols, ancient and mysterious. Li Mu looked at it a few more times, but he couldn’t know more about it. He felt dizzy as if he had gotten drunk, about to vomit.

“Does it exhaust the spiritual force so fast?”

Li Mu was secretly shocked.

He knew it was due to the excessive consumption of his Divine Consciousness.

The content recorded on the dark golden paper must be extremely terrifying. Even with a glance, it absorbed his Divine Consciousness like a sponge sucking water. It must be a divine object. If an ordinary person held it, not to mention studying it, the Divine Consciousness would be drained and the person would become an idiot after seeing it for a while.

Li Mu scanned it with his Third Eye.

A ball of dark golden light flashed.

Li Mu felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and his Third Eye almost went blind.

“What the fuck! What should I do? I can’t even look at it. How can I solve the mystery of it?”

Li Mu was at his wit’s end.

He diverted his attention from the patterns on the dark golden paper and turned to study its material. It looked as light and soft as paper, but it was extremely tough. Li Mu grabbed it with both hands and pulled it, but it didn’t change at all.

Li Mu tried to increase his strength.

Suddenly, a slight light flashed on the dark golden paper.

Li Mu felt something slipping, and the dark golden paper instantly became slippery.

Hiss!

With a light sound, the dark golden paper slipped out of his hand.

The edge of the piece of paper was as sharp as a knife. In an instant, it cut Li Mu’s index finger.

A drop of blood seeped out of the wound.

“It’s so sharp.” Li Mu was shocked.

He knew what realm his physical cultivation was in. He didn’t expect that this piece of paper, which was as thin and soft as cloth, could cut his skin. Could it be that this dark golden paper was a strange weapon?

Just when Li Mu found it both funny and annoying, something strange happened.

That piece of paper flew out from Li Mu’s other hand and floated in the air. A corner of it was stained with Li Mu’s blood and began to burn. The dark golden flame looked strange. In the blink of an eye, the strange piece of paper was burned up, leaving no trace of ashes.

“What’s going on? Has it gone like this?”

Li Mu stared blankly.

He didn’t expect it.

How could a single drop of blood burn up this dark golden paper?

It was so absurd.

He couldn’t understand it. Suddenly, there was a bright light flowing in his Dantian. It emitted a dark golden mist as if there was a shining ball in his belly. The dark golden light penetrated his belly and went straight out of his body.

“What happened?”

Li Mu looked inside and found that the dark golden paper had appeared in his Dantian. It was floating in the air above the Sea of Qi, swirling and floating, which was extremely strange.

“It didn’t disappear. Instead, it entered my body.”

Li Mu didn’t expect this piece of paper to follow the ancient route of taking a drop of blood to recognize its lord.

This was too old-fashioned.

Was it good or bad to enter his body?

He still hadn’t figured out the origin of this dark golden sheet.

However, Li Mu was surprised that when he looked at the lines and words on the paper again at this time, he didn’t feel dizzy or weak anymore. He could clearly see the characters on it.

“Fuck! The problem now is I can’t recognize these characters.”

Li Mu was embarrassed.

He could be regarded as a master of language and writing. He had studied all the characters on Earth, the Ziwei Star Zone, and the Battlefield of Chaos. However, the characters on the dark golden paper did not belong to any of them.

Li Mu read it several times in a row and memorized the content on the dark golden paper. Then, he used his True Energy to slightly suppress it. His Dantian finally did not shine like the night-luminescent pearl.

After many twists and turns, Li Mu’s attention returned to the bronze gourd.

He set up a tactical deployment in the cave. Then he reached out to open the cork of the yellow gourd.

In an instant, a wave of scorching fire virus surged out.

“The Darkest Soul-devouring Fires?”

At first glance, Li Mu immediately recognized them.

Inside the yellow gourd were unexpectedly two Darkest Soul-devouring Fires.

Liuyun Wuxin once said that there were only four Darkest Soul-devouring Fires in the bronze furnace at that time. He got one, and Liuyun Wufeng got three. Now it seemed that Liuyun Wufeng had not merged with all the three Darkest Soul-devouring Fires. He had merged with one at most, so there were still two left.

The Darkest Soul-devouring Fires were the Divine Fire, full of wonders.

...

The Darkest Soul-devouring Fires were used in fining by Cosmic Emperor Deathless. They were also the Emperors’ Fire. Liuyun Wuxin was confident that he could become an emperor in hundreds of years because he had successfully merged with a Darkest Soul-devouring Fire.

It could be said that once merging with this type of Divine Fire successfully, it was possible for the person to become an emperor.

At the sight of this, Li Mu was a little tempted.

But he didn’t know the way to merge with the Divine Fire.

“It seems I have to ask after Liuyun Wuxin comes to the Sanctuary of the Way.”

Li Mu stuffed the cork of the bronze gourd back into the gourd.

He did not hand over the two treasures to the Sanctuary of the Way because there had long been a rule that the treasures obtained by the disciples when they went out for training belonged to themselves.

In the next few days, Li Mu tried to decipher the characters on the dark golden paper.

One day, he found the Green Ox Taoist, randomly showed some characters on the dark golden paper, and said, “Senior fellow apprentice, do you know these characters?”

Green Ox replied indifferently, “Yes.”

Li Mu was in high spirits and said, “Ah? Do you really know them? Senior fellow apprentice, please enlighten me.”

...

Green Ox said, “These are the Characters of Protoss. Back then, the Cosmic Emperor Deathless established the Protoss and rebuilt its language. It is a new kind of language created by gathering dozens of languages, including those of the ancient gods, ancient divine patterns, devil races, the Human Clan, and so on. The characters are called the Characters of Protoss.”

“That’s right.”

The dark golden paper was originally from the Cosmic Emperor Deathless’s Darkest Temple.

Li Mu hurriedly asked, “How can I learn these characters?”

Green Ox said, “Don’t you know? This is very simple. There are instructions and reference methods of the Characters of Protoss in the Sanctuary of the Way. If you want to learn them, you can borrow the books from the scriptures pavilion. I thought you already knew it.”

Li Mu rubbed his forehead.

He made a lot of effort in searching but finally got it aimlessly.

He turned around and ran away. “Thank you, Senior fellow apprentice, Green Ox. You’ve helped me a lot.”

Green Ox looked at Li Mu’s back blankly and said, “Is it a big deal? The Characters of Protoss are well-established and studied in all the major Holy Lands. You can learn it at any time.”

“It turns out that this dark golden paper was a letter left behind by the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.”

Li Mu compared the notes and translated the first one-third of the Characters of Protoss on dark golden paper. After that, he looked shocked.

The letter told him how to merge with the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire and revealed an important piece of information about the real hiding place of the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.

“No wonder Liuyun Wufeng didn’t hesitate to betray and destroy the entire Liuyun family to protect the secret that he obtained. It turns out that he obtained the clue to the true inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. If news of this were to spread, it would definitely cause the entire Battlefield of Chaos to go crazy. The various Holy Lands couldn’t sit still, and they would seize the clue by force. The Liuyun family would be destroyed because of this.”

After reading it, Li Mu was also extremely shocked.

The Cosmic Emperor Deathless was the most legendary emperor in this world. He created a new race on his own and had the potential to become the ruler of the world. Some emperors lamented that he was a hero who had connected the chasms of life and death. However, the legendary person suddenly disappeared at his peak. It was that he died in battle and some other emperors witnessed his death.

He claimed to be Athanasia, but he was the only Imperial Lord among all the Great Emperors that had been confirmed to have died in battle. It was rather ironic.

But the whole world wanted to get the inheritance of the emperor.

The emperor succeeded in fining. The Legend of Deification was an ancient artifact that created a race, causing all the great forces to fight over it. To put it bluntly, the Legend of Deification was only an inanimate item created by the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. His inheritance of casting was a priceless treasure. It could create countless Legend of Deifications and even more terrifying divine items.

To fight over the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, the darkest Requiem of Emperors came. It proved how hot the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was. From ancient times, there had never been an inheritance of a Great Emperor like the Cosmic Emperor Deathless that could cause such a crazy massacre and war.

Li Mu’s scalp tingled.

If the news that he had obtained the clue of the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless got out, even the Sanctuary of the Way and Brotherhood of Swords together might not be able to protect him.

Therefore, he had to keep it a secret.

Li Mu forced himself to calm down and continued to translate the Characters of Protoss written on the dark golden paper.

As time went by, Li Mu became more and more shocked, his eyes full of disbelief.

In the following Characters of Protoss, the Cosmic Emperor Deathless explained the whereabouts of the inheritance in detail.

That was why Li Mu was shocked.

The inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was not in the Battlefield of Chaos. Instead, he had sent it to another space with his great magical power. According to the description of that space in the Characters of Protoss, Li Mu found the place was the Ziwei Star Zone, but he was a little uncertain.
