Chapter 714 - 288: Remnant Bone of a Tier 5 Great Witch (Part 3)
But this Cultivation Method is too inefficient and doesn’t have the same feel as the Martial Arts Technique.
Although the Martial Arts Technique has its flaws, it does indeed enhance the speed of cultivation.
In the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom, I witnessed a Tier Six Great Witch in Tushang Ancient City, a realm Shen Can can’t yet touch, but the skull of a Tier Five Great Witch is in my grasp.
If I can decipher the Cultivation Method from this skullcap, it would be a huge gain.
Clang clang clang!
A gentle tap and a crisp metallic sound rang from the skull.
In fact, this skull can already be considered a ’Witch Artifact.’
Placing the skullcap down, the animal skin paper on the desk is filled with the same Witch Runes as on the skull.
The Witch Runes on the skull are dense, as small as mosquito fliers, and not carved stroke by stroke. Rather, they resemble wild cursive script, making one dizzy.
Some Witch Runes give a sense of having multiple meanings, and when placed in a whole text, the slightest error can result in significant deviation.
Obviously, this might be the Wizard’s unique technique, designed to prevent others from copying.
Shen Can quietly looked at the cursive-like Witch Runes, closed his eyes, and began deducing.
[You have fully memorized the Witch Runes you imprinted and begin identifying the small mosquito-like Witch Runes’ meanings.
You find that these cursive Witch Runes have many meanings, requiring cross-referencing with the text to grasp their full intent, which would take a long time.
Conveniently, while deriving, time is the least of your worries.
You begin to analyze the mosquito-size cursive Witch Runes like an archeologist, repeatedly corresponding the entire Witch Rune’s true meaning.
In the tenth year, you vaguely understand the whole Witch Rune’s true intent, deducing it to be a Bone-Birth Alchemy.
This technique can refine one’s bones, turning them into a Witch Artifact.]
[In the hundredth year, you further studied the deeper meanings of the Witch Runes, and your comprehension of the whole Witch Rune’s true intent improved significantly.
You discovered that the Bone-Birth Alchemy technique isn’t for personal cultivation but is an insidious method for refining Witch Artifacts.
To cultivate this technique, one must choose a suitable ’living being’ as a ’Witchcraft Embryo’, and when the living being is a Witch, impart the relevant method so the living being gradually forms Alchemy Witch Runes within.
If one wishes to refine a Tier Four Witch Artifact, when the living being advances to Tier Four, use the Bone-Birth Alchemy’s reserving method to take its bone, obtaining a Tier Four Witch Artifact.
If aiming for a Tier Five Witch Artifact, take the living being’s bone when it reaches Tier Five with the Bone-Birth Alchemy’s reserving method.]
Shen Can slowly opened his eyes; for him now, deducing for a century is simply too easy.
It had been so long since he could complete a derivation with such little lifespan wasted.
In a trance, it felt somewhat unreal.
"Could it be that I’ve become an old genius in derivation?"
Shen Can scrutinized the skull, watching the gleaming Witch Runes on it.
"It truly is a Witch Artifact."
Tapping the skull again, a crisp colliding sound arose.
Obtaining a Tier Five Witch Artifact did not make Shen Can happy.
He wasn’t after just a Tier Five Witch Artifact.
Through a brief deduction, he could speculate a bit about the origin of the skull being.
Most likely, it was a ’Witchcraft Embryo’ being that escaped to the Earth Cave when about to have its bones taken.
Yet it still couldn’t hide, ending up as a Witch Artifact.
Having a wizard serve as a Witchcraft Embryo is truly extravagant.
After examining the skull for a long time, Shen Can focused on a location on the skull.
This is the only flaw in the witch rune ban on the entire skull.
With full deduction of Bone-Birth Alchemy, it’s here where the method’s backdoor lies, allowing the caster to enter the formed ’Witch Artifact’ and seize control over it.
Placing the skull back on the desk, Shen Can did not rush to refine it.
[Deduction]
[You once again invest your lifespan, continuing to deduce the Witch Runes on the skull, further combining those mosquito-like cursive Witch Runes without analyzed meaning.
Restructuring the entire Witch Rune’s content meaning repeatedly by different word meanings, you find that most of the time, it turns the whole Witch Rune into something unrecognizable.
Your many years of derivation give you enough patience to repeatedly restructure these Witch Runes.]
[Three hundred years later, the Witch Rune before you remains the most coherent as Bone-Birth Alchemy, with other combinations being ill-formed.
[A thousand years later, other combinations are still incoherent, only Bone-Birth Alchemy fits.]
[Three thousand years...]
...
[Ten thousand years later, after eliminating countless incoherent structure combinations by exclusion, a Witchcraft Spirit Ban, named Sealing Spirit Possession Ban, appeared through the most cursive Witch Runes.]
