Lin Xiao's face looked strange. They had to learn it in the form of array?
"Does it mean you can't understand each individual meaning?"
"It's not impossible but we don't know the meaning of all arrays and only some of them are known. Even this one." Long Hao pointed to the one on the ground. "I only know the word sound and the sentence 'Block the sound from within so that my enemies will not be able to hear what I'm talking about.'
The opening sequence is always the same but the Elder can't determine what its real meaning. They couldn't even write properly at times because the word seemed to be so powerful, which we guess to be Heaven."
And based on what you said before, it's indeed that word. Long Hao added in his heart but he didn't speak it out.
"The third sentence should be an additional explanation but we didn't always manage to crack it. The elders told us to memorize it as it is, so we don't know the exact meaning for most of them. After all, the writing of ancient word can be… different even for the same word."
The reading was the same but Long Hao noticed that similar to their own language, even the same reading can mean differently. Not to mention, when the word was different and yet it has the same meaning.
Lin Xiao nodded. The ancient language was used for many beasts to communicate and it contained so many words… if they were to decipher one by one, it would take ages for them to even understand a sentence.
It might be the reason why Long Family didn't even manage to finish the translation and thus only knowing the middle one.
'Heaven and earth, please listen to my humble request. Block the sound from within so that my enemies will not be able to hear what I'm talking about. Prevent my secrets from leaking out and protect me from harm.'
After all, just like this one, the middle one was the one that revealed the real purpose of the array. It could be guessed based on them trying out.
"That's true."
"Then…"
"I'll teach you after we're out of here." Lin Xiao shrugged. He couldn't possibly teach Long Hao in the face of so many other cultivators.
"Oh." Long Hao then realized that they were still in the Secret Region and purposely pressed down his own curiosity and eagerness. He knew that this would be a secret and talking in front of so many others would be hard.
"Master, if we want to get out of this Secret Region, we need to finish all the test."
"I can guess that much…" Lin Xiao began to think that everyone was treating him as an idiot. Did they think that he didn't know that they had to finish the test if they wanted to get out?
"No, I mean, the next test is not ordinary." Long Hao was naturally knowledgeable when it came to Secret Regions because Long Family had several Secret Regions under them. He had already visited several and even had the detailed method of how to pass each test.
Thanks to that, he could deduce that this Secret Region was not ordinary.
"Is there any ordinary test so far?" Lin Xiao was doubtful.
Long Hao: "…"
Princess Lan Yi Hua shook her head. "It's not that much in your place, I presume, Long Hao?"
"Yes." Long Hao looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua and Lin Xiao. Considering how Lin Xiao was willing to let this woman hear their entire conversation, could this be the woman whom Lin Xiao set his heart to?
Hmm, he had to make sure to get close to Princess Lan Yi Hua then.
"Then, how much is unordinary in your opinion?" Lin Xiao was baffled.
"The next test will be more dangerous because we might be pitted against each other." Long Hao looked at the light pillar. His eyes narrowed. "This pillar will be the time limit. When the test start, we will have to kill each other in this room."
Kill?
Both Princess Lan Yi Hua and Lin Xiao were stunned speechless. They had been thinking that there must be something special but they didn't think that it would be this way… wait, if it was a killing request, wouldn't they all die?
Looking at those who were already at Golden Core Stage 2, the two of them looked at each other.
The chance of survival didn't seem to be so high right now.
"We can work together and there are some arrays that I can make too." Long Hao smiled brightly. He was confident that he could fight against Golden Core Stage 2 and making an array to protect himself didn't sound to be that difficult.
Lin Xiao nodded but his heart was bleeding right now.
He had been hearing from Lin Hu that geniuses who could kill two stages above him or her was a very powerful genius. And Lin Xiao was still a distance away from that stage…
But now…
His own disciple was of that stage.
Boohoo! That's why he wanted to be Fire Dragon Emperor or whatever other dragons' Emperor rather than Lake!
Lin Hu scoffed when he heard Lin Xiao's thoughts. He had been despised by many of those who got Emperor's Inheritance as many of them didn't realize how lucky they were to be Lake Dragon Emperor.
Unfortunately, the explanation didn't seem to be plausible right now.
"Are there other methods?"
"There are some protective arrays in this room." Lin Xiao sighed. He pointed to some engravings on the ground. "Some are meant for killing while some are meant for protection. I think it's given for boost for us."
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at the ground thoughtfully. She then turned to look at Lin Xiao. "I can't recognize them."
"I'll teach you. Let's meet with the others first, they should also learn about your cooperation with us." Lin Xiao glanced at Long Hao then he thought about his own older brother…
How should he explain this matter?
