For a cultivator who had already stepped into the Dongxu Stage, blindly cultivating in seclusion would not improve their strength and realm. Dongxu Stage cultivators needed to rely on their comprehension and the power of laws to improve their strength and realm. Therefore, during this one month, Qin Chuan did not spend all his time cultivating in seclusion. Instead, he was studying where he could come into contact with Dao runes.
For Qinchuan, the best and fastest way to improve his strength was to come into contact with Dao runes and let the rune sword absorb the power of the Dao runes. This would help him master Dao runes and obtain new rune arrays. He was already a Level-6 Rune Array Master. If he could obtain a Level-7 Rune Array with thunder, wood, or wind attributes, he might be able to become a Level-7 Rune Array Master. However, Level-7 Rune Arrays were rarer than Upper Grade Holy Weapons. It was too difficult to find a Level-7 Rune Array Master that was just right for him.
"Big Brother, if I master a Dao rune with thunder attributes, will it greatly improve my strength?"
Qinchuan was very curious about this. After all, his talent rune was thunder attribute, and the power of law he mastered was also the thunder law. If he could master a Dao rune with thunder attributes, his strength should be able to improve qualitatively.
The rune sword responded to Qinchuan's question. If Dao runes with other attributes could increase Qinchuan's strength by one, then the Dao rune with thunder attributes could increase Qinchuan's strength by ten!
Even if it was only a Level-6 Battle Array, it could unleash a power that was infinitely close to a Level-7 Battle Array. It was enough for Qinchuan to face a Universe Overlord!
Of course, this was only theoretically possible. After all, Qinchuan hadn't mastered a Dao rune with thunder attributes, and Universe Overlords might not give Qinchuan a chance to engrave a battle array.
When Qinchuan asked Night Serenity about Dao runes, Night Serenity told Qinchuan straightforwardly that all the Dao runes in the Celestial Cluster were controlled by one power, the Tian people. Anyone who wanted to comprehend Dao runes had to go through the Tian people.
"Apart from the Tian people, no one else knows where the Dao runes are?"
Qinchuan was a little confused. "No matter how powerful the Tian people are, they can't take all the Dao runes for themselves, right?
Don't the other powers have any ideas? "
Night Serenity gave Qinchuan a strange look and said, "The location of the Dao runes isn't a secret, and comprehending Dao runes requires a lot of time. Apart from Talisman Matrix Masters, no one else has much interest in Dao runes. No Talisman Matrix Master would attack the guards of the Tian people just to comprehend Dao runes for a few days. It's no different from courting death."
After hearing Night Serenity's explanation, Qinchuan was slightly stunned, and then a look of realization appeared on his face. There was only one Rune Sword in the world, and only he could use the power of the Rune Sword to absorb the power of the Dao runes in a short time and comprehend Dao runes. Other people would need at least a few years to comprehend Dao runes, and a few years was enough for the Tian people to find them and kill them tens of thousands of times.
Moreover, only Talisman Matrix Masters were truly interested in Dao runes, and they had to be Talisman Matrix Masters above Level 5. With the huge population of the Celestial Cluster, there weren't many Talisman Matrix Masters above Level 5. Moreover, not all of these Talisman Matrix Masters had the talent to comprehend Dao runes. Coupled with the difficulty of obtaining matching battle formations, it was normal that Dao runes weren't valued.
"If Talisman Matrix Masters want to comprehend Dao runes, do they have to join the Tian people?"
Qinchuan looked at Night Serenity curiously. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to provoke the Tian people.
"That's not the case. As long as you pay the price according to the requirements of the Tian people, you can obtain the opportunity to comprehend Dao runes."
Night Serenity said to Qinchuan, "The price is battle formations. As long as Talisman Matrix Masters can provide the Tian people with a battle formation above Level 5, they can obtain the opportunity to comprehend Dao runes. They can only choose one of the many Dao runes, and the time limit is only 10 years."
Hearing Night Serenity's words, Qinchuan's heart slightly moved, and he said, "So the Tian people should have a lot of battle formations, and there should be a lot of Talisman Matrix Masters among the Tian people."
Night Serenity nodded and replied, "The strongest Level 7 Talisman Matrix Master in the Celestial Cluster is from the Tian people. There are thousands of Level 6 Talisman Matrix Masters among the Tian people, and Level 5 Talisman Matrix Masters are innumerable.
However, the Tian people have very strict requirements for battle formations. They only want battle formations that haven't been collected. "
Qinchuan was slightly surprised, and said, "This requirement is a bit too much. I'm afraid they have already collected all the battle formations above Level 5 in the Celestial Cluster."
"That's more or less the case. Therefore, except for the Tian people's Talisman Matrix Masters who often go everywhere to comprehend Dao runes, the Talisman Matrix Masters outside rarely have the opportunity to comprehend Dao runes.
Over time, the Talisman Matrix Masters outside have gradually given up on comprehending Dao runes. The Talisman Matrix Masters who want to continue to comprehend Dao runes can only join the Tian people and work for the Tian people in exchange for the opportunity to comprehend Dao runes. "
Night Serenity looked at Qinchuan with a subtle gaze, and said, "If you want to comprehend Dao runes, you can only do it through the Tian people."
Qinchuan frowned and said, "The Tian people are using their power in the Celestial Cluster to monopolize the battle formations. In the long run, the powerful Talisman Matrix Masters in the Celestial Cluster will all become members of the Tian people."
"Not only that, the Tian people's monopoly is also targeting Fortress-class spaceships."
Night Serenity said again, "Fortress-class spaceships need to be equipped with defensive Talisman Matrices above Level 6. In the Celestial Cluster, only the Tian people can meet this requirement."
Qinchuan thought for a moment and asked, "If we attack a place where Dao runes are located, how long will it take for the Tian people to respond and send reinforcements? What are the chances of us being exposed?"
Upon hearing Qinchuan's question, Night Serenity felt that Qinchuan didn't take her previous words to heart, so she advised, "The gains don't make up for the losses. From now on, we have to be careful. If the Tian people get hold of our weakness, it will be a disaster!"
Even though Night Serenity had become an overlord in the universe and was on an equal footing with many forces, the Tian people were not among them!
The Tian people were unique in the Celestial Cluster. Night Serenity would never provoke the Tian people unless she had no other choice.
"I'm just assuming," Qinchuan smiled and said to Night Serenity, "I won't joke about my life."
Night Serenity took a deep look at Qinchuan and replied, "As long as we handle it well, the Tian people won't know our identity at that time. According to the distance, the Tian people's reinforcements should arrive in one to three days. After that, the probability of our identity being exposed should be more than 70%!
It's almost impossible to provoke the Tian people in the Celestial Cluster without being discovered!
Even the Dao runes, which are targeted at the Tian people, are no exception. "
