Chapter 414 Peak
âyou know about the ancient sovereign sutra?â zhou wen asked.
the flower laughed and said, âitâs not like itâs something impressive. why wouldnât i know? itâs no wonder you climbed up chess mountain so easily. it turns out that youâve cultivated the ancient sovereign sutra. however, after cultivating the ancient sovereign sutra, your future will not be too easy. it will be extremely difficult to pass the mythical stage.â
âwhy would it be difficult to cultivate the ancient sovereign sutra? arenât other primordial energy arts difficult to cultivate?â zhou wenâs heart stirred as he tried to get the way to advance to the mythical stage from the flowerâs mouth.
to date, zhou wen had never heard of humans becoming mythical experts. if he could obtain a method to advance to the mythical stage, he might be the first mythical expert among humans.
âtheyâre difficult too. however, ordinary primordial energy arts follow the order of the world. the ancient sovereign sutra works by destroying the order of the world, so naturally, the difficulty is greater. furthermore, the founder of the ancient sovereign sutra, the strongest human sovereign of your human race, ultimately failed to change fate,â the flower said.
âwhich human sovereign are you referring to?â zhou wen hurriedly asked.
âas a human and one that cultivates the ancient sovereign sutra, you donât even know your raceâs sovereign, suiren-shi?â the flower was puzzled.
only then did zhou wen realize that the ancient sovereign sutra was a primordial energy art left behind by suiren-shi. it was the leader who had brought fire to humanity.
zhou wen originally believed that the ancient sovereign sutra was discovered on e bo platform. it might have something to do with e bo. he never expected it to be suiren-shiâs primordial energy art.
âwhen you talk about changing fate, do you mean that human sovereign ultimately failed to advance to the mythical stage?â zhou wen thought to himself that if that were the case, it would be even more difficult to advance the ancient sovereign sutra to the mythical stage in the future.
âyou can understand it as that too,â the flower said rather ambiguously. it didnât continue the topic. instead, it said, âonce you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a stone staircase. follow it, but do not walk around recklessly. otherwise, donât blame your death on me. the tiny palm symbol will be engraved on the boulder at the end of the stone steps.â
âwhatâs that mythical item you mentioned?â zhou wen asked.
âyouâre almost there. itâs on the boulder.â the flower ultimately didnât answer his question.
even with the augmentation of the ancient sovereign life soul, it still took his all to just climb up. when he finally reached the mountaintop, his fingers trembled as he held them to the ground.
he looked up and sized up the mountaintop. indeed, there was a stone staircase leading to the center of the mountain summit. there was a huge black boulder that looked like a steamed bun.
zhou wen immediately saw the tiny palm symbol on the stone and couldnât help but be overjoyed.
that flower didnât lie to me. there really is a tiny palm symbol. zhou wen stood up and carefully approached the bun-resembling black boulder.
as zhou wen took a few steps, he felt the mysterious phone vibrate in his pocket. zhou wen took it out and automatically opened the camera app.
he aimed the phone at the black boulder and the camera automatically focused. it locked onto the small palm symbol on the boulder before producing a snapping sound. it turned into the downloading interface.
âwhat is that in your hand?â the flowerâs voice came from the mountain wall.
âdonât you know what a cell phone is?â zhou wen realized that the mountain peak wasnât as dangerous as he had imagined it to be. it wasnât as terrifying as the flower had said. it was barren and he felt a little more relaxed.
now that he had downloaded the game dungeon, he could research the flowerâs weakness when he got back. after he had researched it thoroughly, he could deal with it.
as long as he didnât die here, he still had a chance to turn the tables even if he was blinded by the flower.
wait. if iâm blind, will the blood-colored avatar in-game be blind? zhou wen suddenly thought of a serious problem.
he and the blood-colored avatar shared the same vantage view. if the blood-colored avatar also became blind and he couldnât see the screen, wouldnât that mean that he couldnât game?
âwhat is a cell phone? it doesnât look like a treasure as it doesnât have any primordial energy fluctuations,â the flower said.
âitâs not a treasure. itâs just a communication tool that we humans use to communicate across distances. there are also some functions like taking pictures. everyone has one.â zhou wen tried his best to describe the phone as something rather common to prevent the flower from suddenly becoming interested in the phone.
âwhat does taking pictures mean?â the flower asked again.
âitâs to record down a scene into a drawing. i can take pictures of people or scenery,â zhou wen said as he put away the mysterious phone. it looked like the flower was interested in the phone.
âis that so? take a photo and let me see,â the flower said.
zhou wen was already mentally prepared as he took out his ordinary phone and took a few photos with his phone.
âthis thing is rather interesting. the drawings are so realistic.â the flower paused and said, âhow do you speak with this thing across distances?â
âitâs very simple. every phone has a number. as long as you call this number, you can call another phone a distance away. however, thereâs no signal here, so thereâs no way to talk.â zhou wen realized that there was no signal here.
âwhat is a signal?â the flower asked again.
âi donât quite understand that either. it roughly entails humans establishing cell towers. through these cell towers, we can transmit signals across distances. thereâs no cell tower here, so thereâs no way to use the phone to communicate.â zhou wen wasnât very knowledgeable on such matters so he just gave a general explanation.
âi understand. you have two phones. give one to me then. you donât have any objections, right?â although the flower was inquiring, its tone wasnât taking no for an answer.
âsure, but thereâs no signal here. itâs useless even if you have the phone, right? besides, you donât have hands. how are you going to use the phone?â zhou wen asked.
âitâs none of your business. just place your phone on the stone steps,â the flower said.
zhou wen deleted his own information on the phone. thankfully, he didnât use it often. there wasnât much private information inside, so he deleted it in a few seconds.
âwhatâs the number of this phone and the other phone?â the flower asked.
zhou wen told the flower his cell phone number before saying, âi didnât get a number for my other phone. iâll only get it after i return. however, thereâs communication software in there that can be used for communication. it canât be used due to a lack of signal though.â
âitâs alright. tell me how to use it.â the flower was very calm.
zhou wen told the flower how to use the communication software. he still wanted to return alive, so he agreed to any of the flowerâs requests.
after zhou wen gave the tutorial, the flower claimed that it understood. it was unknown if it really understood or was faking it. after all, there wasnât any signal here and there wasnât much use for having a phone. it was the same even if it didnât understand. therefore, he couldnât be bothered to say more.
âby the way, where is the mythical item you mentioned? why donât i see it?â
âdidnât i tell you that itâs on the boulder? you can see from its side,â said the flower.
