Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1905 - 1906: The Great Black Fish

However, the big black fish escaped into the water and disappeared.

The surface of the water became extremely calm, so calm it was frightening.

During the battle earlier, the water surface kept churning like a boiling pot, but now it was as still as a dead pond, leaving Ling Zhenfei very surprised.

From the previous situation, it seemed that the monster in the water was really trained, organized, and premeditated.

Ling Zhenfei had felt that the monster in the river was becoming increasingly strong, but he didn't expect it to reach such a realm.

What happened now seemed to indicate that it possessed higher intelligence and could be trained with wisdom; truly, Ling Zhenfei wondered what had occurred with this water monster.

Now, the serene water surface made Ling Zhenfei's heart feel exceptionally simple.

As the saying goes, unusual occurrences must have a hidden danger; such calmness made Ling Zhenfei very uncomfortable.

Ling Zhenfei paid close attention to changes within the river but continued to move towards the opposite bank.

Previously, Ling Zhenfei had reached the middle of the river, now he was only one step away from the bank, but he felt as if it was very far, like a thousand miles away.

Exercise caution, yet walk safely; finally, he reached the riverbank.

As his feet landed on the riverbank, Ling Zhenfei's heart became more tranquil.

Ling Zhenfei exhaled deeply.

The original monster in the river posed no threat, although Ling Zhenfei grew stronger over time, he felt the monster's growth was faster.

Ling Zhenfei found it odd why the monster in the river could change so rapidly.

What influences the monster's changes? Could it be that as his own strength increased, the monster also grew stronger?

But upon reflection, it seemed illogical, and suddenly Ling Zhenfei thought of something.

When members of the Guimou Sect fought with Ling Zhenfei, they mentioned that hidden treasures belonging to the Star Lord were concealed within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

At the time, Ling Zhenfei paid little mind, as a Star Lord's hiding would be secretive, impossible for ordinary people to find.

Thinking now, could these treasures be hidden in the river, perhaps affecting the monsters with the Star Lord's spiritual energy to make them strong?

Yet, this is merely Ling Zhenfei's conjecture; who knows if the Star Lord actually hid treasures in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm?

Another tells of the Star Lord's belongings residing in Foreign Land Space, now mentioned in Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

Reflecting on this, the Star Lord's treasure being in the Foreign Land appears accurate.

This matter has been confirmed by many, with ample evidence by ancient sages.

Whereas the Peach Blossom Secret is simply Guimou Sect's legend.

Ling Zhenfei gently left the Peach Blossom Secret Realm from the shore, returning to the small room of Wuliang Book Tower.

Having decided to earnestly study the Wuliang Heart Sutra, it was time to dedicate himself.

Ling Zhenfei picked up the Wuliang Heart Sutra and began reading.

Admittedly, perusing the Wuliang Heart Sutra evokes a distinct feeling.

The script on the Wuliang Heart Sutra was originally arcane, but the person from Ancient Times writing it must have been extraordinary.

The preservation of characters for thousands of years is undeniably challenging.

Through prolonged viewing, indeed the Bamboo Slip also underwent significant changes.

At least, the cord connecting the slips was replaced many times.

After multiple replacements of the cord, the bamboo slip endured considerable abrasion.

Some places on the text are unclear due to wear.

Ling Zhenfei read word by word, feeling troubled by severely worn characters; fortunately, ancient predecessors documented these characters, leaving none unknown.

Studying the works of ancient predecessors should provide easier comprehension, yet for some reason, holding the Bamboo Slip itself felt better.

Ling Zhenfei also reviewed the book "Liu Zhi's Thirty Years' Experience on Immeasurable Heart Sutra."

Although Liu Zhi's writing was commendable, offering experiences and deriving cultivation techniques and staff techniques, it didn't aid Ling Zhenfei's research at all.

Ling Zhenfei knew Wuliang Immortal Palace valued "Wuliang Heart Sutra," not without reason, indicating its mystical nature.

Yet, Ling Zhenfei had read numerous formidable cultivation techniques. For instance, those on the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth were so magical that one glance imprints upon the mind.

However, the "Wuliang Heart Sutra" fails to do so, regardless of repeated readings, resembling an ordinary dictionary unchanged by many perusals.

Days of reviewing the Bamboo Slip yielded no gains.

Bored, Ling Zhenfei decided to transcribe like ancient sages, hoping to discover something during transcription.

Although paper and pen were prepared in the cave, they were actually xuan paper and a writing brush.

While familiar with writing, Ling Zhenfei's brush skills were quite average.

Nevertheless, he resolved to use the brush, hoping it would evoke more feel.

Referencing the brush as a knife in ancient sayings meant writing brushes; holding a writing brush felt inherently good.

Ling Zhenfei began transcribing the text from the Bamboo Slip as he read.

Many ancient characters differed from current writing, leaving Ling Zhenfei unfamiliar with their strokes, requiring careful transcription.

Upon transcribing half of the Wuliang Heart Sutra, Ling Zhenfei discovered an unusual sense in the strokes and style on the Bamboo Slip.

Characters on the Bamboo Slip were penned with elegance and fluidity.

A sudden spark of realization emerged in Ling Zhenfei's mind, requiring thoughtful capture.

Seizing this moment, Ling Zhenfei continued transcribing, finally comprehending something.

Holding the Bamboo Slip, he traced the characters with his hand, sensing the deep indentations potentially caused by spiritual energy during writing.

Ling Zhenfei noticed that the script was so fluid, appearing untidy at times, yet not due to sloppy writing by predecessors of the Wuliang Heart Sutra.

It was intentional; each character was crafted in a single stroke, Ling Zhenfei could feel their formation when touched.

From the onset, one could see how the stroke progressed — where it was heavy, light, fast, or slow, all felt upon the slip.

Ling Zhenfei focused his Divine Sense entirely on the Bamboo Slip's text, striving to absorb the essence of each character's creation, memorizing their essence.
