Chapitre 10: Reincarnation Seal
Éditeur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the first time that Ye Sheng had passed on his techniques to them, a large majority of Earthlings had begun to believe in Ye Sheng. They now believed that there was truly a god in the world and that the techniques that their god passed on to them could be cultivated into something more.
So, this time when Ye Sheng passed something on to them, 1.4 billion people all went crazy at the same time.
Was oracle bone script very difficult to decipher?
The great literary masters were able to translate it immediately.
Didn't you know how to cultivate?
A great master in cultivation could explain everything, and you would be able to learn it quickly.
Ye Sheng quietly observed everything that was happening on Earth. Soon, someone managed to fully translate all of the oracle bone script. Ye Sheng was surprised to find that the contents of his mother's book contained an extremely formidable technique.
Reincarnation Seal.
Reincarnation Seal was a technique that the Reincarnation Sect passed down to all their disciples. One could carve a seal of reincarnation in one's dantian, and each additional reincarnation seal that one possessed was equivalent to an additional life. The power of a reincarnation seal was tremendous and incredible. If you could merge nine reincarnation seals together, you could build a reincarnation bridge to cross between the borders of the living and the dead.
"This...this seems to be a secret technique of the Reincarnation Sect. Did First Madam and the rest realize this?" Ye Sheng asked himself in surprise.
This technique wasn't easy. Comparing it to the Rolling Rocks Boxing Technique that Ye Sheng had found was impossible. The differences between them were as far apart as poop was from gold...maybe even greater.
But then again, nobody knew how to read oracle bone script anymore. First Madam couldn't find anyone who could read it, so there was no way of knowing what the contents of the book were, which was why she had passed it to Water Chestnut Flower. That made sense too.
"I remember that when I was a child, Mother often placed a few of these books in a place that was very conspicuous, so anybody who came into the room would definitely notice them. She also let others read them at any time, as if they were just very ordinary books. Perhaps Mother was trying to mislead others even then, so that when she passed away, First Madam wouldn't care about me reading them even if she confiscated other books." Ye Sheng was filled with admiration for his mother.
Lord Ye might have read these books before too, but nobody knew how to read oracle bone script anymore. Only those who were ranked high within the Reincarnation Sect would know how to read them, but they were almost all dead by now. Thus, these books were slowly becoming hidden treasures.
"First Madam took away at least five of Mother's books, and I'm sure they're all definitely extremely rare manuals describing formidable techniques. If I get the chance, I must get them back." Ye Sheng was determined about this.
The Earthlings were all working hard at cultivating Rolling Rocks Boxing Technique, Fallen Leaves Sword Technique, Typhoon Steps, and now an additional technique, Reincarnation Seal.
Compared to the first three techniques, Reincarnation Seal's difficulty level was 100 times higher.
During the past few days, the number of Earthlings who had managed to pick up the first three techniques now numbered a few thousand, and, as a result, Ye Sheng had automatically reached the Beginner stage of all three techniques.
On top of that, as the number of cultivators increased, once they all reached Beginner stage, Ye Sheng would automatically reach Accomplished stage. Once 100 of them reached Accomplished stage, he would automatically reach Mastery stage, and so on and on.
There were 1.4 billion people on his dantian, Earth, so Ye Sheng was confident that there had to be at least 100 geniuses in cultivation among them.
He just needed to wait for a week, and there would definitely be Earthlings who could fully master all these techniques.
After one night, 1.4 billion people had started cultivating the Reincarnation Seal, but the number who had managed to learn it were less than ten, so Ye Sheng wasn't able to automatically learn it yet.
The Reincarnation Seal was much more difficult than the first three techniques that he had given to the Earthlings. Only nine people had reached the Learnt stage. He just needed one more to automatically also reach the Learnt stage.
"It probably shouldn't take too long for just one more among 1.4 billion people to reach the Learnt stage, so I just need to calm down and wait." Ye Sheng woke up in the morning, applied the ointment on himself, continued to eat heartily at mealtimes, and dragged his injured body hobbling toward the General Collections Library.
On this day, there was almost nobody inside the General Collections Library. Water Chestnut Flower wasn't around either. Ye Sheng sat down inside to read by himself and everything was quiet around him.
"Everyone says that Miss Water Chestnut Flower is as pretty as a fairy, has a gentle personality, is mature at handling difficult matters, is kind and friendly, an altogether excellent young lady. But after interacting with her yesterday, it's clear that she's hidden her true side very well," thought Ye Sheng to himself while reading.
Water Chestnut Flower felt like a cloud of fog to him. Her fairy-like beauty was only a facade. It was impossible to see through her.
"This huge manor hides many secrets," sighed Ye Sheng to himself.
Nobody came to disturb Ye Sheng today while he was reading in the library. Lord Ye had organized a family banquet, but because Ye Sheng and Ye Qing had been injured and had difficulty walking and couldn't sit either, the two of them weren't invited to attend the banquet.
They weren't invited to the banquet, but the food served at the banquet was served to them. Amazing delicacies covered the entire table.
Ye Sheng immediately stuffed himself with all the food he was given, chased away the nanny, and started practicing martial arts in a room by himself.
He started practicing his Rolling Rocks Boxing Technique, Fallen Leaves Sword Technique, and Typhoon Steps.
He had reached Beginner stage in all three of these techniques, so he had mastered some of the techniques.
For example, one punch with the Rolling Rocks Boxing Technique could create three blasts in the air, making the strength of the punch triple. One punch carried 100 units of strength, so three blasts meant that it carried 300 units of strength.
That was the power of martial arts.
The highest level that the Rolling Rocks Boxing Technique could reach was level nine. That meant that one punch would blast nine times in the air, and the 100 units of strength would become 900 units. That meant that an Acquired Level First Stage martial artist's punch could defeat someone at Acquired Level Third Stage.
That was how much difference each stage of learning a martial arts technique made. If you could reach the Perfection stage of a technique, you could even defeat someone who was at a higher level of cultivation than yourself.
And this was only a technique that was fairly simple and widely used. If he could reach Perfection stage of the Reincarnation Seal and carve nine reincarnation seals inside his dantian to build a reincarnation bridge, Ye Sheng could look for First Madam directly, take everything that belonged to his mother back, then leave Ye Manor without worries. There was nowhere in this vast universe that he couldn't go to once that happened.
It was all right to dream for a short while, but Ye Sheng had to remain with his feet on the ground for the time being.
So just like that, the 15th of the seventh month arrived. Ye Sheng's wounds were already completely healed, but he still limped along when he walked to pretend that his wounds were not entirely healed yet.
Ye Sheng wanted to leave Ye Manor in the morning to pay respects at his mother's grave.
Ye Manor's house rules were very strict, and Ye Sheng couldn't leave just because he wanted to. He had to report to the Old Lady first, since she was the one who had allowed Ye Sheng to pay respects to his mother in the first place.
So first thing in the morning, Ye Sheng walked over to the Old Lady's living quarters to wait for her quietly.
He couldn't get in.
The Old Lady hated him, so she wouldn't even allow Ye Sheng to step into her courtyard. He could only wait outside.
The same maid that Ye Sheng had slapped the last time he'd seen her walked out with a cold expression on her face, as she said, "The Old Lady says that she's taken note of this matter, and she's allowing you to go. But she also says that while you can go ahead and pay your respects, you are not to make any trouble. If you create any trouble, then she'll definitely give you another 50 strokes of the army paddle when you come back."
"I understand." Ye Sheng nodded quietly without any expression on his face. He had already guessed the sort of attitude the Old Lady was going to give him.
"Also, after you're done paying your respects, when you come back, throw away all the clothes you wore there because they carry filth on them. You mother was a lowly woman, so anything that is tainted with her presence must not be left behind here," said the maid.
Ye Sheng looked up violently and glared at the maid, frightening her terribly. She quickly added, "That's what the Old Lady said! If you dare to hit me, I will report it to her. I've already told her about what happened the last time, but the Old Lady said that as a son, it's fine to slap me in order to stand up for your mother, but you must not do this again."
"Tsk. Fine," said Ye Sheng through gritted teeth as he scoffed coldly.
Once he had gotten permission to leave, Ye Sheng wouldn't spend a moment longer in this house than he'd had to. This place disgusted him.
