Chapter 1226: Chapter 6: The Nine Apertures Stone Man Holding the Heavenly Book

This is an ancient mountain village, a temporary resting place for Lin Feng and Gu Yourou. There are three to four hundred villagers in the village.

The village is tranquil and rarely visited by outsiders.

The villagers here are very simple and kind, and they are warm and hospitable.

A Mountain God Temple is built not far away, and the villagers go to the temple every day to worship, praying for health and safety and for the hunters of the village to return safely.

”This might be what faith is...” Lin Feng and Gu Yourou stood at the entrance of the village, watching the villagers devoutly worship at the Mountain God Temple, and couldn’t help but speak.

”Many times, those who have faith also have love. Without faith, there are no constraints, and things could become very frightening, even leading to indiscriminate killing.” There was a hint of hatred in Gu Yourou’s eyes.

Gu Yourou naturally meant something specific.

The cultivators of the Four Great Forces have no faith.

They believe that strength can dominate everything.

Without faith, there is no constraint, so they kill the innocent without remorse, even destroy a country without any psychological burden.

Lin Feng said, ”Faith is something that exists if you believe in it; if you don’t, it doesn’t.”

After a pause, he looked at Gu Yourou’s exquisite and stunning face and asked, ”Now can you tell me where we are going next?”

”I am going to the Ancient Chen Family!” Gu Yourou replied.

”What kind of family is this? I’ve never heard of it,” Lin Feng said.

”It is a hidden world family that rarely goes out. Outsiders generally know little about the Ancient Chen Family, but their power is truly terrifying,” Gu Yourou explained.

Lin Feng thought of some legends.

It is said that on the Heavenly Martial Continent, there are some hidden world families, and among them, some top-level hidden world families have terrifying power, even capable of contending with top-level forces like the Ancient Jiang Family and the Four Great Ancient Imperial Dynasties.

Hearing about this hidden world family ”Ancient Chen Family” from Gu Yourou, it now seems that the rumors about hidden world families are not baseless but indeed exist.

”Does the Ancient Chen Family have any connection to your Immortal Ancient Country?” Lin Feng’s heart stirred as he asked.

”My mother was the daughter of the Second Elder of the Ancient Chen Family,” Gu Yourou said sorrowfully.

Her mother died tragically in that battle, and even now, thinking about everything that happened that day, Gu Yourou still feels immense grief.

Lin Feng said, ”So, the Ancient Chen Family is like your grandparents’ home, right? By blood, you are directly related to the Ancient Chen Family, which indeed seems like a good place to go.”

In the evening, Gu Yourou took out the Nine Orifices Stone Man.

The Nine Orifices Stone Man stood about two meters tall, with nine orifices, and now the nine orifices emitted Sun Moon Essence.

The Nine Orifices Stone Man was also holding a Wordless Heavenly Scripture.

This was a stone wordless heavenly book, with three divine patterns on it, resembling Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns.

If a cultivator were to closely observe those three divine patterns, it would make their head hurt as if splitting.

Lin Feng was amazed at the Nine Orifices Stone Man, really moving because this stone man had strong vitality, indicating it’s still alive and being nurtured. No wonder the Four Great Forces went so far as to destroy the Immortal Ancient Country to capture the Nine Orifices Stone Man; it’s so astonishing that if successfully nurtured, it might become a Great Emperor in the future.

Besides the awe of the stone man itself, the Wordless Heavenly Book in its hand surely hides great secrets because the three divine patterns are extraordinary, and even Lin Feng finds it hard to comprehend their mysteries.

”I’ve heard you are called the Little Stone Saint and have an exceptional understanding of Stone Material. What do you think about this Nine Orifices Stone Man holding the Heavenly Book?” Gu Yourou asked Lin Feng.

”The Stone Clan nurtures, but the Great Tao is deficient, so even if it can nurture a Stone Clan, generally, lower-level Stone Clans get nurtured. The higher the level, the more difficult the nurturing. In the glorious Ancient Era, a high-level Stone Clan nurtured a Fighting Saint Ape,” Lin Feng slowly explained.

”Towards the end, since the Ancient Era, millions of years have passed, and have you ever heard of another Stone Clan being birthed as strong as the Fighting Saint Ape, renowned through all time?”

Gu Yourou shook her head, replying, ”I’ve never heard of it. Why is that?”

Lin Feng stated, ”The reason is what I just mentioned, the Great Tao is deficient!”

Perplexed, Gu Yourou asked, ”What does this mean?”

Lin Feng explained, ”The Stone Clan, especially high-level Stone Clans, are too defying. Therefore, when nurturing, the Great Tao is incomplete, just like the birth of a child who then dies young, called premature death. The Stone Clan is born from heaven and earth, and if the Great Tao is not complete, it’s like a woman giving birth after ten months, but the baby dies prematurely, resulting in difficulties in nurturing, especially for strong Stone Clans.”

After a pause, Lin Feng pointed to the Wordless Heavenly Book in the hands of the Nine Orifices Stone Man, saying, ”Now this stone man is holding the Wordless Heavenly Book, and the book imprints three Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns called the Supplementing Deficiency Great Path, corresponding to the Great Tao’s deficiency.”

Gu Yourou’s eyes slightly brightened, saying, ”The Great Tao’s deficiency, and the Nine Orifices Stone Man holding the Wordless Heavenly Book supplements the Great Path, just like a child learning to read, from nothing to knowledge, and the book imprinted with the Great Path supplements the self, so the Nine Orifices Stone Man could be successfully nurtured?”

Lin Feng said, ”I can’t say for sure if it can be successfully nurtured, but the probability of success will certainly increase significantly.”

Gu Yourou nodded, then said, ”Study the Nine Orifices Stone Man here carefully; I’m going to rest.”

Lin Feng laughed, saying, ”Aren’t you afraid I might take your stone man and leave here?”

Gu Yourou replied, ”I believe you aren’t that kind of person.”

Upon saying this, she entered the house.

”I didn’t expect my charisma to be so great,” Lin Feng mused, touching his chin.

He sat cross-legged, took out the Nine-Colored Illusion Stone, and attempted to comprehend the three divine patterns of the Wordless Heavenly Book, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t uncover its secrets.

This left Lin Feng somewhat discouraged and a bit helpless.

Just before dawn, Lin Feng shook his head, deciding to give up as the secrets of the Wordless Heavenly Book seemed incomprehensible.

At this point, a voice suddenly echoed in Lin Feng’s mind, ”It’s not impossible to understand the secrets of the Wordless Heavenly Book. Want to make a deal with me?”

”It’s you...” Lin Feng was exceptionally shocked upon hearing this voice.

The voice belonged to the Stone Material Holy Spirit Lin Feng had previously sealed in Holy Stone City.
