Chapter 2216: Rune Evolution, Ancient City
The first changes appeared on both sides of the road. At some point, green trees appeared along the road.
The trees formed a canopy, blocking the sunlight. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating beautiful beams of light.
Lin Moyu instinctively activated the Eye of the Soul and was surprised to find that there were no runes on these trees.
"How can this be?"
Everything in the ruins was evolved from runes, and the Eye of the Soul could see the truth and the runes.
But now, the runes were gone, and everything seemed incredibly real.
Lin Moyu even began to doubt whether he had entered the real world.
The city hidden in the mountains and clouds in the distance finally revealed its majestic appearance.
It was an unimaginably grand city, with walls towering ten thousand meters high, reaching into the clouds and with no end in sight.
On the city walls, a light projection cast three large characters into the sky: "Ming Fu City!"
Lin Moyu stood still and could see figures moving on the city walls.
There were even people standing in mid-air above the city.
These people wore long robes, looking like immortals.
"Please make way!" A shout suddenly came from behind, and Lin Moyu turned to see a team approaching from behind.
Instinctively, he stepped aside to let the team pass. Leading the team was a large carriage, pulled by eight giant horses, taking up half the road.
These horses were not ordinary; each stood ten meters tall, with flames burning under their feet.
"Starry Beasts!"
Lin Moyu immediately recognized that these eight horses were all Starry Beasts.
The aura they emitted was at least at the Other Shore realm.
Using Other Shore realm Starry Beasts as carriage pullers was quite extravagant.
Behind the carriage was a team of about a hundred people.
They wore uniform clothing, all in long robes, with characters embroidered on them.
"Ming Fu Academy!"
Academy?
This term was rarely seen nowadays, but in ancient times, there were many academies.
Lin Moyu had read some information; in ancient times, academies were like sects, established by the human race for learning and cultivation.
Watching them pass by and gradually disappear from sight, Lin Moyu felt a slight tremor in his heart, "Could this be an ancient city evolved here?"
He couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity about this city.
He also wanted to see what an ancient city was like.
But before that, Lin Moyu activated the Undead Vision.
The Eye of the Soul could see the truth, while the Undead Vision could see souls.
With both in use, there were few things in the world that could escape his notice.
Under the Undead Vision, soul flames were flickering.
"Indeed, they are not ordinary beings!"
Although there were soul flames, making them look like real beings, Lin Moyu immediately recognized that these soul flames were evolved from runes.
Even though the Eye of the Soul couldn't see the runes, the presence of these soul flames confirmed that this was indeed a world evolved from runes.
"The Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign truly deserves to be called a Heavenly Sovereign, capable of creating such realistic illusions."
Lin Moyu sighed. Without the Eye of the Soul, even he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.
Lin Moyu followed the team forward. The team moved quickly, soon leaving him behind and disappearing from sight.
Lin Moyu didn't chase after them; they had their path, and he had his.
As he got closer to the city, the road became busier.
Pedestrians appeared from nowhere, all heading towards the city.
They were discussing various topics loudly, without any intention of hiding.
Lin Moyu listened and was slightly surprised.
They were discussing runes, and all of them were rune masters.
In ancient times, runes were highly popular, and many cultivators studied them.
During that time, the path of runes was very prosperous, and the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign was the undisputed leader in the field.
This was a world evolved from runes, and everything that happened could be the key to breaking the situation.
Lin Moyu listened carefully, not missing any details.
Gradually, he understood some things.
Ming Fu City was a city dedicated to rune cultivation, home to countless rune masters.
Among them, Ming Fu Academy was undoubtedly the best, gathering the strongest rune masters.
The head of Ming Fu Academy was a rune master who had reached the Supreme realm.
This time, Ming Fu Academy was holding a grand rune competition in the city, and the winner could obtain an ancient rune.
This ancient rune was said to have been created by the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign himself, a fifth-level ancient rune that had been eternally solidified.
When Lin Moyu heard this, he immediately realized the significance of this ancient rune and knew what he had to do.
"This ancient rune should be one of the twelve core ancient runes."
He needed to participate in the rune competition, win, and obtain the core ancient rune.
This was the challenge set by the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign, and winning was the way to break the situation.
There was no puzzle, no battle, just a competition of runes.
"Senior Heavenly Sovereign, what are you trying to do, going to such lengths?"
Lin Moyu muttered to himself. He knew that even for a Heavenly Sovereign, evolving such a world was not an easy task. The Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign must have put in a lot of effort to set all this up. What was his ultimate goal?
Compared to the tricks he had played in secret realms, this was far too elaborate, not in line with the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign's usual style.
At this point, Lin Moyu had no other choice but to take it one step at a time.
Following the crowd, Lin Moyu entered the city.
There were many people along the way, but none paid any attention to Lin Moyu, which was quite unusual.
Lin Moyu's clothing was distinctly different from others, clearly from a different era.
If it were normal people, they would surely come over out of curiosity to ask questions.
But now, no one did. Lin Moyu felt that this was another detail the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign had missed.
To evolve a real world, some details were overlooked.
He had always known that the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign wanted to use runes to evolve real life, to glimpse the secrets of the Dao Sovereign.
Unfortunately, the Holy Rune Heavenly Sovereign never succeeded. Now it seemed that he still lacked attention to detail.
Evolving real life is difficult. Even a Heavenly Sovereign creating a race is not creating something from nothing but merging existing life forms.
The difference between the two is significant and cannot be compared.
After walking for several days and nights, the city was finally within reach.
The ten-thousand-meter-high gate was wide open, exuding a terrifying aura from within.
Countless strong individuals were inside, including those at the Other Shore realm, Saint Sovereigns, and possibly even Supremes.
With curiosity, Lin Moyu entered the city, observing the buildings inside.
"So this is what an ancient city looks like?"
The city had tall buildings, many reaching a thousand meters high.
The buildings were tall but had few floors, mostly only nine.
Rune formations were almost everywhere, countless in number.
Occasionally, powerful auras emanated from the buildings, indicating the presence of strong individuals inside.
"Other Shore realm cultivators are everywhere!"
"So this is the ancient era? Truly prosperous!"
Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Here, Other Shore realm cultivators were everywhere, and Saint Sovereigns were also common.
There were too many to count.
If the ancient era was truly like this, then the current era is indeed pitifully weak.
The entire human race combined couldn't compare to a single city from the ancient era; the gap is too vast.
Following the road, Lin Moyu arrived at the gate of Ming Fu Academy.
Countless people were registering to participate in the rune competition. Everyone had to pass the tests according to the rules to officially become participants. Lin Moyu followed the crowd and registered as well!
