After awakening the magical power, all demons are firewood

Chapter 165: Rune Power
Chapter 163: The Power of Runes

Li Changle continued to introduce the information he had learned:
"Like in the Peaceful Territory, all the clinics, pharmacies, nurseries, and funerals are jointly controlled by the Changsheng Valley and the Fahua Dan Sect."

"And all livestock-related industries are controlled by the Beast Taming Sect."

"All industries related to basic construction, forging, smelting, and land transportation are controlled by the Chongxuan faction."

"The fishing and water transportation industries that rely on the three major rivers and countless tributaries are all controlled by the Penglai faction."

"Of course, the most powerful one is the Dao Palace system jointly organized by Yuqing Sect and Taixuan Sect, which controls all administrative governance and cultural education in [Ping'an Domain]."

"These organizations control the lives of billions of people, their aging, illness and death, and have monopolized the wealth and human resources of the entire Peaceful Domain."

"And they are all here to serve the [Hundred Nations War] of the sect behind them."

"This also means that other sects can easily organize and train new monks with their own systems and enrich their own monk kingdoms."

"So, this seemingly century-long battle for luck actually started a long time ago."

When Han Yue heard this, she couldn't help but ask:

"Master, then why didn't our Shenxiao Palace place people in the [Ping'an Domain] to spread the sect's system?"

Li Changle replied:
"Of course there was in the beginning. My Shenxiao Palace once controlled the military power of the entire [Ping'an Domain], controlled five million Shenxiao soldiers, had countless warriors under its command, and was one of the most efficient organizations in training monks."

"It's just that in the Peaceful Territory, there are very few conflicts between civilians. There is no war at all."

"Under such circumstances, the necessity of maintaining the army is greatly weakened, the army's own combat effectiveness cannot be maintained, and internal unrest and corruption are very serious."

"In addition, the financial power of the army is under the control of Yuqing Sect. Under their malicious guidance, the entire Shenxiao Army system has been gradually weakened."

"In the end, it was replaced by the public security system created by Yuqing Sect and Qinglian Sword Sect."

"Of course, our sect itself has a lot to do with this."

"Because of the small number of disciples, our Shenxiao Palace simply cannot ensure that there are disciples participating in every round of the [Hundred Nations War]."

"This also means that the cultivation forces behind the Divine Sky Army not only provide them with very little support, but also disappear for hundreds of years at any time."

"In this case, it is only natural that it cannot be maintained."

"The manpower and material resources we actually put in were indeed less than those of other sects, so we deserved the lack of gains."

In this regard, Li Changle had no intention of excusing his own sect.

After hearing this, Han Yue had another question:
"Master, I just thought that the sect didn't care much about this battle of luck, but why is that? If luck rises and falls, won't it weaken the future path of our sect's disciples?"

Li Changle smiled and said:

"Yuanchu, you still have to understand that the so-called luck or opportunity, in the final analysis, still has to land on the path of each disciple."

"The foundation of a sect's luck is determined only by the number of immortals and above in the sect, and the number of spiritual treasures that suppress the luck."

"In this regard, my Shenxiao Palace is the best in the entire [Yuxiao Realm]. Even the Yuqing Sect, which occupies Zhongzhou and regards itself as the spokesperson of [Yuxiao Realm], cannot compare with my sect."

"Only the Chongxuan Sect can compete with us with the large number of immortal spirit officials accumulated by its sect."

"However, the Chongxuan Sect claims to have one billion disciples."

"Under this distribution of luck, the luck blessing that each disciple can obtain is very limited."

"And in my Shenxiao Palace, on average, every luck suppressed by Changsheng Zhenren can support one disciple."

"The gap between them cannot be made up by snatching luck from the [Hundred Nations War]."

"That's why, for our sect, this battle of destiny will not affect the path of our disciples, so it is not that important."

"Up to now, the main purpose of the fellow disciples who have truly participated in the [Hundred Nations War] is to compete with the true disciples of the major sects to train themselves, gain experience, and make friends. The competition for luck is secondary."

"This also led to the fact that the development strategy chosen by the disciples of our Shenxiao Palace who participated in this was very different from that of other sects."

This is actually a passive choice made by the disciples of Shenxiao Palace.

After all, the sect's system arrangements within the [Safe Domain] have completely collapsed.

When fighting alone, the choices you make will inevitably be different from those of disciples from other sects.

"I participated in a battle of destiny six hundred years ago. I have some experience and can tell you about my strategy at that time."

"At that time, I entered the Peaceful Territory alone. After wandering around for a few times, I found that it was impossible for me to catch up with other sects by building up my power step by step on my own."

"Besides, I simply don't want to waste my time in cultivation, teaching disciples, and training monks."

"What I chose to do was to overturn the table. Even though the country I built is very weak, as long as others are weaker than me, I will naturally win."

"So before the final distribution of my luck, I spent ten years destroying the countries established by other monks one by one."

"During this period, I have experienced countless battles. There are more than a dozen disciples of major sects who died in my hands, and there are even more ordinary cultivators."

“Until the end of the [Hundred Nations War], more than eighty [Imperial Seals] fell into my hands. Naturally, I would be the first in the end.” Li Changle’s interest grew higher when he talked about his past outstanding deeds.

During his cultivation career, his highlight moment was when he used force to subdue nearly a hundred disciples of major sects during the [War of a Hundred Nations].

But he didn't mention that after he had gone through a lot of trouble and almost destroyed the [War of a Hundred Nations].

When the [Hundred Nations War] started again, the other major sects no longer put the management of their power first when selecting disciples to participate in the war, but instead began to focus on their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, his actions almost caused public outrage, so much so that the disciples of Shenxiao Palace were boycotted by various major forces in [Ping'an Domain].

With the promotion of all parties, the image of the Demon King Shenxiao has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and can stop children from crying at night.

"Yuanchu, your senior brother Yuan Fang also participated in a [Hundred Nations War], but unfortunately the result was mediocre, and his Tao heart was even damaged in the process, which affected his Tao path."

"If you really want to compete, you still have to adjust your mentality."

“Don’t worry too much about the end result, just gain something in the process.”

"The sect offers generous rewards to the disciples who participate in the [Hundred Nations War]. No matter what the final result is, it will not be a wasted trip."

"But it's too early to say anything now."

"Right now, what you need to do is to advance to the third level as quickly as possible."

"Everything I said, you can study it after you reach the third level."

Han Yue nodded after listening. He had already grasped the key information. There were still more than 40 years before the next [War of a Hundred Nations] started, so he still had plenty of time to take care of his own practice.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said goodbye to his master.

After returning to the cave, he went into [Jin'ao Island] and began another retreat.

Now, without the interference of other things, he finally had enough time to digest the various gains he had obtained in the devil's calamity.

Han Yue immersed his mind in another secret technique he had acquired, the [Secret Record of the Divine Powers of Performing Talismans], and began to comprehend it.

This secret technique can help him quickly comprehend magical powers below the purple level.

Han Yue chose one of his own magical powers, [Talisman], and began his first deduction.

This magical power was the reward he obtained from using the secret treasure [True Thunder Yuan Magnetic Mysterious Light Talisman Book].

It contains a unique way of explaining magical powers using runes.

It is very consistent with Han Yue's secret technique.

With the blessing of [Innate Heart-Searching Divine Light], Han Yue felt that a vast amount of rune knowledge was rushing out and lingering in his mind.

His understanding and comprehension of this magical power also improved rapidly in this process.

Time passed quietly, and his practice of talismans was improving all the time.

He suddenly felt that he was able to use runes to express his feelings.

This was a strange feeling, he seemed to have learned a rune language, and this language could express extremely rich meanings, more efficient and accurate than his own mother tongue.

Han Yue subconsciously took a second-level metal ingot from the side, held it in his hand and began to rub it using the [Heart Refining] method.

After a while, he had refined a palm-sized piece of metal.

The surface of this metal sheet is delicate and smooth, with a very textured feel.

But only Han Yue himself knew that he had melted tens of thousands of runes into this piece of metal.

These runes have no offensive power, but they can channel the magic power Han Yue directs into them according to the structure constructed by the runes, expressing the function he wants.

Han Yue introduced a very small amount of magic power into it, and the metal piece in his hand was immediately activated and started working.

Suddenly, a clear, delicate and colorful image appeared on the metal sheet.

Written on this image are four large characters: [Fruit Sword Immortal].

Below the big words, there are several common fruit animations in this world rotating.

Han Yue stretched out her finger and swiped it across one of the fruits. A corresponding sword light appeared in the image and cut the fruit in half.

Then, the image changed, and the interface of a "Fruit Ninja" game that was very famous in Han Yue's previous life appeared.

Han Yue's right hand kept moving across the screen, with sword lights flashing across the screen, constantly chopping up the fruits that appeared to get points. The sound and light effects were also very catchy and brainwashing.

He basically perfectly replicated the game from his previous life on the metal plate in front of his eyes.

Moreover, he engraved more than 100 runes. If the corresponding data capacity is calculated based on his previous life, it would exceed TB. The various application functions that were replicated are far more than this one.
