Chapter: 31

"Oh, that? It was Runic Art. I thought you would know it since you have a habit of spying on me all the time."

"This princess doesn't spy on you!"

Ignoring Jasmine's cute angry outburst, Yun Che explained, "Just like Talisman Art, Runic Art has almost the same function. The only difference being that it is more versatile than Talisman Art! Whereas in Talisman Art, you need to draw intricate designs and formulas representing a certain technique, Runic Art works as long as you can write the word representing the action and have a good image of what you want. It is more versatile and user-friendly than Talisman Art."

Jasmine's eyes narrowed dangerously as she looked down at Yun Che in suspicion. She really started to wonder if he was a reincarnation of the Primordial God or not.

"... And where did you learn it?"

Just from this small explanation, Jasmine could tell how wonderful and miraculous this Runic Art was. If such an art came into the hands of a Royal Realm back in the God Realm, she could see them dominating ages in the future! The versatility of Runic Art was just that vast!

No matter how much she searched, she couldn't find anything regarding the Runic Art within her memories. Remember, she has memories of every previous Star God! The fact that she couldn't reconnect anything with his Runic Art just made it even more suspicious to her!

"What do you mean?" On the other hand, Yun Che gave her a weird look and said, "Weren't you spying on me this morning? I created it after Cang Yue gave me that transmission talisman."

"... You what?" An incredulous expression appeared over Jasmine's face. "Did you say... you created it?"

"Yes?" Yun Che raised a brow at her and answered. "I thought that the usage of Talisman was quite redundant. So I decided to redesign it. Instead of using paper and ink, I used the air and profound energy to draw words and give meaning to them. This way, though I'm still using Talisman Art, the usage becomes highly different from it. It was counterproductive of what I had in mind, but it's still welcomed the same way."

In fact, Yun Che had thought that he would have to draw intricate formulas in the air to produce any result whatsoever.

As he had said, the Runic Art was a surprise in itself. The reason why he wasn't as surprised and astonished as Jasmine was because he had seen Runic Art in other media.

It was something which made sense to him, unlike Jasmine, who thought he was breaking the conventional common sense of the world.

After an extended silence, Jasmine finally spoke.

"Do NOT tell anyone about it." Her expression looked cold and serious. She looked down at Yun Che and seriously warned, "If you value your life, do NOT tell anyone that you created it. In fact, this princess would even go as far as to say to not use it in front of others, but you won't really listen to me on this matter."

"... Is it that serious?" Yun Che thought Jasmine was getting paranoid. He knew that the usage of Runic Art might be dangerous, but that was in the God Realm. Here, in this small star, he dared to say he was afraid of anyone.

He might not be strong enough to fight everyone face to face, but no one would be able to catch him either.

With his skills, running away from a God Emperor won't be a problem, let alone the people on this small realm!

"Way more serious than you thought. If others came to know that you are in possession of art that allows you to simply ignore the fundamental rules of the world, this princess doesn't think she needs to explain to you what their thought process would be. It would be a miracle if you didn't become a worldwide fugitive! And not only you, even your loved ones will be impacted by it." She looked down at him and stated, "The best way to lure a mouse out is still its favorite treat. Don't forget that, Yun Che."

Yun Che frowned in silent contemplation.

He thought he might be taking this world way too easy due to the presence of Menu.

As stated above, he was confident in running away from any situation… But could the same be said for his loved ones? He thought before coming to a conclusion that Jasmine was right.

It was better to not let others know about his secrets, especially arts and skills that basically broke the fundamental rules of this world.

"I'll keep that in mind," said Yun Che.

Jasmine nodded. With a small curl of her lips, she stated, "Then start cultivating. Also, even though you cannot tell other people about the art, it won't hurt to use it. Either way, no one really understands what you are doing in the first place."

Since he didn't write words in Chinese, it obscured the real use of art by a lot.

Jasmine thought as long as he was careful and didn't outright decide to do crazy things, he should be alright with the mild usage of it.

Unless he was strong enough, it was better to keep one's card to themselves.

And just like that, almost a month passed with Yun Che staying inside the Profound Gathering Tower, cultivating.

As he had expected, it took him ten days to break into True Profound Realm and eleven days to enter the second-stage of True Profound Realm!

For others, his speed of cultivation was just monstrous.

Ten days to enter a new great realm and then ten days to reach the second-stage of it, it was just unheard of!

It really made one wonder what his speed of cultivation would be if he used [Profound Energy Absorption] skill.

Since he maxed it in the heat of the moment, he couldn't use it since it would literally dry the whole planet in seconds.

Leaving the planet aside, he had no idea what would happen to him if such a huge amount of energy suddenly entered inside him.

His best guess being he would simply explode.

As such, he refrained from using that skill. He couldn't help but feel regretful for maxing it. He should have waited some time and experimented on it first.

...

Spoiler: He will use the skill in the future!
