This was a line of extremely delicate and beautiful small script.
It was clear that the writer must have practiced excellent calligraphy.
Upon first glance, Su Ping felt envious. Such font and brushwork were indeed exceptional.
Unfortunately, modern society had grown accustomed to typing on computers, and few still had the patience to practice calligraphy.
He glanced at the handwriting in his notebook and nodded.
Indeed, the main reason my own handwriting resembles the scrawlings of a roach is entirely because contemporary society neither needs nor values calligraphy.
Subsequently, Su Ping's gaze fixed firmly on the characters that had appeared.
Clearly, this must be a little Easter egg left by that noble lady from the Xue Family for future Beast Tamers who would uncover her hidden secrets.
Su Ping loved such little Easter eggs.
"'Future beholders, upon seeing this, shall appreciate the mysteries of the Five Elements and be acknowledged as my kin. The attributes of the Five Elements are the foundations of the laws between Heaven and Earth. Energies with form evolve from the Five Elements. The grand path of the Five Elements signifies the grand path of elemental transformation. The laws of the world are largely based on this and merge into this.
Xue Hongluan has acquired the methods of ancient Beast Tamers, comprehending the way of the Five Elements transformations, intending to use this as the basis to create a unique and unparalleled Supreme Mystical Method, already achieving some success. Her descendants, inheriting my teachings, should know of the Xue Family's heroine, Hongluan, whose great name echoes through the ages.'"
Su Ping blinked.
The Super-Rank Skills of ancient times evidently referred to the so-called Supreme Mystical Method.
Although the expression and terminology differed from modern language, the principles remained the same!
Does this mean that Xue Hongluan actually succeeded? That the new energy operation pieced together atop the Five Elements Formation Map is indeed the true cultivation method of the Five Elements?
However, before he could savor the carefree confidence of the Consort of the Zhennan King, about ten breaths after reading that passage, another line of text suddenly appeared:
"'Future beholder, upon encountering my words and my way, do you find yourself elated beyond restraint? Hongluan can empathize with that feeling. Yet, alas, this world lacks any being or object that could serve as proof for the Supreme Mystical Method of the Five Elements, truly a pity~
People of the future, take this as a call to strive. Hongluan believes that there are knowledgeable individuals yet to come, who can find a being or object to serve as proof for this Supreme Mystical Method of the Five Elements. If not, one should remain content and not force it upon oneself~'"
Su Ping blinked. This... He recalled that when the two Five Elements Formation Maps combined, he felt as if he had sensed the presence of Xue Hongluan from 613 years ago, a female Beast Tamer who had deeply studied the path of Pet Beasts.
Even with noble ladies like her, I could envision some classic images from TV dramas for comparison.
Thus, when the thoughts of two people separated by more than six hundred years coincided across history, the feeling was truly extraordinary.
This resonance of souls from centuries past was incredibly mystical.
But upon reading these lines, I knew that this Xue Hongluan was not some gentle and delicate lady of high birth, but rather a mischievously spirited and playful young lady.
In the things she left behind in the Secret Realm, it seemed she even managed to bury such a playful prank before her death.
The message from Xue Hongluan was simple:
'Regarding the Skill Cultivation of Super-Rank Skills through the operations of the Five Elements, well, I've already researched it. If you've discovered it, oh, then you are certainly impressive.
But too bad, I already figured it out hundreds of years ago and have already reaped the benefits. The path of the Five Elements is amazing, you're amazing, but I'm even more amazing.
Regrettably, such an incredible Super-Rank Skill of the Five Elements should also be amazing, but alas, there wasn't a Pet Beast available to utilize it for cultivation. Truly such a pity.
Of course, I also believe that you might be able to find other Pet Beasts to serve as vessels for the Five Elements Super-Rank Skills. But if you can't, don't get anxious—live your life and don't cause yourself unnecessary distress.'
This message revealed the unmasked playful spirit of that noble lady.
Across history, on this overlapped draft, Su Ping felt he could almost see the Xue Family's noble lady, coyly smiling, a blend of grace and grandeur, yet with a sneaky smirk as if she had successfully tricked future generations.
Su Ping initially felt a sense of helplessness, but then a smile touched his lips.
History... such an interesting thing, filled with so many intriguing people and amusing events along its extensive timeline.
Yet, despite this brief encounter showcasing her talent and temperament, this young lady of the Xue Family was, in the historical records left behind, merely referred to as 'the beloved daughter of Xue Siming, the Saint of Wrathful Skies,' and 'Consort of the Zhennan King of the Liang Dynasty'—that was all.
Just that, and nothing more.
Clearly, Xue Hongluan, who had delved so deeply into the way of the Five Elements, was the one who truly felt an immense regret. She had meticulously studied the Supreme Mystical Method of Five Elements cultivation for an unknown length of time, yet had found no Pet Beast suitable for it.
However, Su Ping soon smiled again.
In fact, upon seeing the Five Elements Formation Map, I understood why the cultivation method of the Five Elements simply could not be actualized in any Pet Beast.
The energy operation was overly complex.
This complexity wasn't about controlling the transport of energy, but about the integration of the Five Elements energies within the body.
