Shoulders of Giants

Chapter 694: Shoulders of Giants

Lady Tianyin looked around and praised, "You are all extremely smart and talented. I didn't expect six of you to appear all at once. What kind of world is this? How come there are so many talented people all of a sudden?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "My queen, these six people in front of you can be said to be the wisest people in the past 20,000 years. They are more than one in a billion. Now, the wisdom of the past 20,000 years is gathered in front of you."

The woodcutter urged, "Hurry up and show your magical power to revive the goddess, and don't brag. There are only five wise people in the past 20,000 years. You are a tyrant, but you are not smart."

Qin Mu was annoyed. He activated his skills, took out the Book of Netherworld, and once again activated the soul-pulling power that he had improved. The structure of the Chengtian Gate was changed by him, and the Netherworld language sounded, making everyone frown.

Qin Mu repeatedly turned the gate of Youdu, stole the power of Tiangong, then stole the power of Tubo, and finally stole the power of the two ancient gods at the same time.

Everyone was dazzled by what they saw and confused by what they heard.

"It's Youdu language. I can understand about 80% of it."

The King of Hell activated his skills, and a portal appeared behind him, which was somewhat similar to the Gate of Chengtian. He said, "But I have never seen this book before, and stealing the power of Tiangong and Tubo may have some hidden dangers. No matter which of these two beings, we can't handle it."

"I can understand 60% of Youdu language."

Master Yankang said: "I have studied with you for a while, but there are still many obscure parts that are difficult to understand. I am afraid I will not be able to learn it."

The Woodcutter Sage frowned and said, "I can't understand everything. Stealing the power of Tubo and Tiangong, if it's a little, it's fine. If you steal too much, I'm afraid these two beings will be restless. Stealing their power to revive the souls of Tianyin Realm will definitely anger them."

Xu Shenghua and the First Emperor had never learned the Youdu language, so they were even more confused.

Xu Shenghua tried to probe: "Since we can't steal the power of Tu Bo and Tian Gong, why don't we transform Master Qin's magical powers and take a detour?"

Imperial Master Yankang said, "It's not a detour, but the leader has laid a very good foundation for us. Madam, the Tianyin Realm should not have its own unique magical power system, right?"

Lady Tianyin nodded and said, "Originally, there were many people with supernatural powers living here, but they were all people from the outside world. They said they came here to avoid war and brought their supernatural powers here. In the past, there was only me here, and no one with supernatural powers."

Imperial Master Yankang smiled and said, "Then from now on, the Tianyin Realm can also have its own magical power system."

Xu Shenghua's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Master Yankang, thinking: "A saint who appears once every five hundred years is indeed extremely smart! But the reason why the woodcutter saint didn't say anything is probably because he still wants to see the intelligence of his disciple."

Chuzu and Yan Wang also suddenly understood. Chuzu smiled and said, "After the guidance of the National Master, I finally found the way."

King Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, “The magical power of Emperor Qin Ren is the key to unlocking the magical power system of the Tianyin Realm.”

The Woodcutter Saint looked at Qin Mu and said, "Disciple, explain your magical powers to me."

Qin Mu explained this magical power in detail. Everyone was very intelligent. After listening to it once, they remembered it in their hearts and paced back and forth.

National Master Yankang chanted the Netherworld language in a low voice, and the black soul sand around him fluctuated with his voice.

Xu Shenghua stopped and recited the Youdu language to the corpse captured by Qin Mu. The corpse ghost opened its mouth and let out a shrill roar. Black sand continued to pour out of its body, while black sand was pouring in from the outside.

The First Human Emperor borrowed the Book of Youdu from Qin Mu and used his own vitality to simulate the Youdu characters in an attempt to improve Qin Mu's magical power.

The King of Hell had studied the magical powers of Youdu and directly modified Qin Mu's magical powers.

The woodcutter sage walked around the Kaihuang immortal Ning Jin, looking at him non-stop.

They all have their own thoughts and opinions, and they are all tampering with Qin Mu's magical powers.

Only Yan Jingjing had no knowledge in this area and could only watch these weirdos obediently.

Qin Mu looked at them with a dark face. In the past, he was the one who tampered with other people's magical powers. Now he finally experienced the feeling of having his magical powers tampered with by others.

After a long time, they walked, lay down, sat or ran, thinking hard.

National Master Yankang drew strange runes on the sand by the sea, while the First Ancestor used his vital energy to write and draw in the air. Xushenghua took out a ruler and a magic weapon, calculated rapidly, and wrote down strange equations on the ground, trying to find the solutions.

A huge metal ring was suspended behind the King of Hell, with various runes on the ring flickering.

The Woodcutter Saint took off the necklace pendant that Qin Mu had made for him from Ning Jin's neck, and turned to look at the Tiandou made by Emperor Yin.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone gathered beside Tiandou, each of them imprinted the void with their vital energy, and magnificent symbols appeared in the air.

These are golden runes, which continuously emit golden light like sand, like the black sand of the soul, but not black.

"What are they doing?" Empress Tianyin didn't understand either, and asked Qin Mu and Yan Jingjing quietly.

Qin Mu's face was solemn, and he whispered: "They tried to sort out some basic runes of Tianyin Realm's magical powers from my magical powers and Yin Tianzi's Tiandou, and then deduce all the basic runes."

Tianyin Niangniang was slightly startled: "Basic runes of Tianyin Realm? There is such a thing?"

"Your Highness, you have never been to the outside world, right? You don't know that most of the magical powers in the world are constructed from basic runes."

Qin Mu explained: "Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, clouds, mist, stars, and creation, each type of magical power has its most basic structure, which is the basic runes. For example, swordsmanship has eighteen basic sword moves. And the Empress's Tianyin Realm is another world different from the outside world, with different rules. It can be said that the magical power and the Taoist method are self-contained."

Yan Jingjing relied on the Sun Boat to forcibly ascend to the divine realm. She did not have much understanding of the basics of Taoism and magical powers. At this moment, she could not help but listen carefully to comprehend and make up for her shortcomings.

"The magical power I used to revive the Empress was derived from the magical powers of several large systems, including the Nether City, the Dark City, the Mysterious City, the Creation, the Shinto, the Demonic Way, the Buddhist Way, and the Taoist Way. This is a large system, and the small systems within it are too numerous to mention. Only by integrating so many magical power systems can I revive the Empress."

Qin Mu continued: "However, I did not use the basic runes of the Tianyin Realm. Instead, I used the knowledge of these magical systems to imitate the basic runes of the Tianyin Realm."

Tian Yin Niangniang understood a little and said, "So they are using your magical power and Yin Tianzi's treasure to remove the magical power system of the outside world and try to create a basic rune for the Tian Yin Realm. The more they calculate, the closer they are to the real basic rune."

Qin Mu nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty, look at the runes in front of them. They are becoming less and less like runes from the outside world. In addition to my magical powers and Yin Tianzi's treasures, they also need to understand your divine power and the rune marks on your body."

The Woodcutter Saint and others came over, their figures floated up, and they carefully examined the divine light on the body of Goddess Tianyin, recording each natural rune, and then examined the rune marks on the body of the Goddess. These runes were the peculiar marks that Goddess Tianyin had since she was born.

Niangniang Tianyin has little contact with the outside world and knows little about the marks on her body.

After an unknown amount of time, the five people landed on the ground and gathered together to talk in a low voice.

"There are 108 rune marks on the queen's body, and we have deduced 216 from the master's magical powers and Yin Tianzi's treasures."

Xu Shenghua arranged the runes, stretched out his hand and drew it across the air. Runes made up of golden sand appeared wherever his palm passed.

"There are a total of 324 runes. These runes are the basis of the magical power system of the Tianyin Realm."

Xu Shenghua continued, "Your Majesty, please see that different rune sequences can have different magical effects."

His vital energy transformed, and he combined dozens of runes into a magical power, which he bombarded on the ghost captured by Qin Mu. The black sand in the ghost's body instantly disappeared and turned into strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that dissipated.

Imperial Master Yankang performed another magical power, which was also composed of these 324 basic runes, and said: "It can also reunite souls and gather the souls that originally belonged to this body together."

After the ghost died, only a piece of human skin was left. Master Yankang activated his magical powers, and black sand from the Tianyin Realm flew like smoke and penetrated into the human skin.

The King of Hell activated another magical power and said, "You can also reshape the soul black sand and turn it into a spirit."

His magical power worked on the black sand in the human skin, and the black sand was gradually condensing, with a tendency to return to a complete soul state.

The First Ancestor Human Emperor also performed a seal composed of these runes and said, "It can also suppress the ghosts and subdue them!"

When he used the seal, he was like a ghost king, making many ghosts in the Tianyin world tremble in fear.

The Woodcutter Saint smiled and said, "My Queen, the basic runes of the Tianyin Realm were incomplete before, but now they are complete. My Queen can control the ghosts to fight for you, punish them, and protect the people living in the Tianyin Realm. From now on, you can rest assured."

Qin Mu said with emotion: "In the future, the countless skills and magical powers in the Tianyin Realm will probably be born from these 324 runes."

The woodcutter saint took out his axe and chopped at a cliff by the sea, carving the runes on the cliff. He said, "My lady, this matter is over. We are leaving now."

Tian Yin Niang stood up to see them off and said, "I am a dull person, so I can only trouble you wise men. If you need me in the future, you can bring this token to me and I will definitely help you!"

She drew out a beam of divine light from her body, divided it into seven, and refined it into seven shining beads, which she gave to the woodcutter, the national teacher, the first ancestor, the King of Hell, Xu Shenghua, Qin Mu, and Yan Jingjing.

Yan Jingjing hurriedly declined, saying, "I haven't done anything, I don't dare to accept it."

Lady Tianyin smiled and said, "It's for your lover. Please keep it for him."

Yan Jingjing's face turned slightly red and she put the magic bead away.

When everyone walked out of the dark world and saw the sunshine outside, they all felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Disciple, now you know what a truly smart person looks like, right?" The Woodcutter Sage said with a smile.

Qin Mu also smiled: "Because you are standing on the shoulders of a giant like me. Without me creating the magical power to revive Tianyin Niangniang, you would have no way of deducing the basic runes of the Tianyin Realm."

“Giant’s shoulders?”

The Woodcutter Saint laughed heartily, and the teleportation array patterns around his body spun as he whizzed away and disappeared without a trace.

"Emperor Qin, farewell." The King of Hell retreated, darkness surged behind him, and then disappeared.

National Master Yankang said, "Master, we will meet again in Yankang." After saying that, he also teleported away.

Qin Mu looked at the First Ancestor Human Emperor, who shook his head and said, "I can't stay with you, I have something important to do." After that, he soared into the air and turned into a ray of divine light and disappeared.

"Some really smart guys."

Qin Mu sighed, without turning back, and said: "Brother Xu, I didn't say anything about you."

Xu Shenghua laughed loudly and walked away into the air. His figure appeared and disappeared, and lotus flowers bloomed one after another in the air.
