Bab 179: 179. Unbelievable, it's actually him!

```

Deciphering "Bitter Cultivation and Enlightenment Sutra" hugely drained the mind force; Lu Yao could only manage 50 characters at a time, the sisters combined also contributed 50 characters, making the progress slow.

Three days later, they deciphered a thousand characters, among which were some minor tricks of Spirit Refinement. A particular sentence caught Lu Yao's attention:

"On my third failed imperial examination, overwhelmed with exhaustion, I fell gravely ill on my way home.

During the moments of unconsciousness, I faintly saw a light and followed it. By chance, I entered a cave and was bestowed a book by a divine being."

Lu Yao stroked his chin and said, "A divine being bestowing a book... that must be the 'relic' that Hong Renkun spoke of before his death."

The monster that merged with people was truly horrifying; Liao Ya still shuddered at the thought of the "people" growing out of the monster.
