Chapter 668 Stone Tablet
"Is the fog getting thinner?"

“Yes, I seem to see the light!!!”

Walking in this thick white fog for a long time is like being trapped in amber. No matter how you walk, it seems like you are standing still. The dead silence is simply maddening. But now, you can finally feel the change in the environment.

"It seems we're here!"

Lu Qingxiang's tone was calm, but there was still a slight tremor in his voice. Perhaps it was the fear of facing the unknown, or the excitement of exploration. It was difficult to judge.

As he took a step forward, the unchanging white mist in front of him was no longer there. Fresh air blew towards him, even carrying the scent of soil and the fragrance of flowers and plants. The breath of nature filled the surroundings, and outside was a bright world full of vitality.

"There's nothing wrong, come out!"

His voice came out from outside the fog without any obstruction, and everyone rushed out of the white fog quickly. What they saw before their eyes was a magnificent and beautiful scene.

At this moment, they were standing on a huge platform. The ground was flat as if it had been cut by a knife. Behind them was the thick, impenetrable fog, and in front of them was another completely opposite picture.

In the distance are beautiful rolling mountains and continuous green trees. Countless pines and cypresses are growing green leaves out of season, exuding vitality. There are also old vines as thick as an adult's arm, coiled like a dragon, and there are lush green grass and fragrant wild flowers, full of vitality and vigor.

Whether compared with the Juntian Desert outside or the fog wall filled with dead silence and oppression, this place is completely a paradise!
No, it's not just a paradise, it's a holy land!
No matter who it is, they would feel refreshed and happy to suddenly arrive in this land under the pressure of a long-term death crisis, but there was still no joy on the face of the Fourteenth Prince.

"Everyone, be careful. This place is not like before. You need to be careful at every step."

Everyone also knew that since the Fourteenth Prince had spoken out in warning, it was definitely not a joke. Often, the more beautiful the appearance, the more dangers are hidden beneath it.

"There seems to be a stone tablet there!" At this moment, Li Ming suddenly said.

The direction Li Ming pointed was the edge of the platform, where there was a towering tree, but there was only one tree. Next to the tree was a large stone tablet that was two people tall.

The entire stone tablet is gray-black in color. It is not simply carved from any stone, but the overall look is very textured and filled with a heavy and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

Everyone walked over quickly and saw two large characters engraved on the stone tablet in an ancient and unsophisticated style. The font was powerful and condensed, as vigorous as a dragon, and it was filled with the breath of time. Just by looking at these two large characters, one could imagine that the person who engraved them was definitely extraordinary.

"What does this say?" Dugu Fang asked lightly while smoking a pipe and exhaling white steam from his mouth.

"Let me take a look." The scholar Hongye took a step forward and pondered the two words on the stone tablet for a long time. Finally, he said in a very uncertain tone.

"It seems to be a kind of seal script from ancient times, which has long been lost."

"So you don't know him either?" Qiao Tianbao asked with his eyebrows lowered.

The Red Leaf Scholar sighed and said, "Forgive my incompetence. This text is too old and beyond my ability, but..."

"But what?" Lu Qingxiang also asked.

The scholar Hongye pondered, "As far as I know, ancient sages said that writing carries the truth! When writing was first created, it was to carry truth. First, there were demons and monsters in this world, and then there were patterns of the Great Dao. Later, humans imitated these patterns and created human writing. So, the meaning of this seal script, perhaps there is no need to identify it, its meaning is right here."

As the Red Leaf Scholar spoke, he gently pointed to his heart. "What do you mean?" Iron Bodhisattva Huilin asked in confusion.

The scholar Hongye simply shook his head and said, "If one has exceptional comprehension, they can grasp the true meaning simply by observing its form, and may even gain something else. The inscription on the legendary Wuzu Enlightenment Stele was written in this type of seal script. Although its meaning has been lost, many people in later generations have still been able to comprehend its true meaning from it."

"It's the same as not saying anything. What kind of people are able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts from the Martial Ancestor's Enlightenment Monument? The Taoist Ancestor, the Buddha?" Gu Du Fang snorted coldly.

The Fourteenth Prince smiled and said, "That's not a problem. My Xia family's ancestor also saw this stele and gained some enlightenment."

When saying this, it was obvious that the Fourteenth Prince was also quite proud. After all, it was rare in the world to be able to be compared with the likes of Taoism and Buddha.

The Red Leaf Scholar was even more eager to flatter him, saying, "Yes, Emperor Taizu Xia was extremely powerful and invincible in his time. He could defeat anyone in the world with his Five Virtues Heavenly Fist. If he had been born in ancient times, his achievements might have been no less than those of the Taoist and Buddha ancestors."

The Fourteenth Prince smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's a bit too much, but it's just that Grandpa Taizu is a dragon among men, a one-in-a-million genius. That's beyond doubt!"

"But I wonder if you like this stele?" Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince seemed very happy, the scholar Hongye asked again.

The Fourteenth Prince was about to speak, but he saw Li Ming step forward, reach out his hand and gently stroke the inscription, as if he was stroking the skin of his lover.

Seeing Li Ming's attitude, everyone fell silent and held their breath.

Li Ming even felt a desolate atmosphere from ancient times from the inscription. The huge impact made him involuntarily make such a move.

Inexplicably, Li Ming seemed to "see" something through the inscription.

It is a long barrier with no beginning and no end, as if it has existed since time immemorial and has never changed!

"boundary marker."

Li Ming murmured subconsciously.

When the Fourteenth Prince heard these two words, his eyes darkened and his expression changed, but he returned to normal in an instant and just put on a smiling face.

"Great, great, great! Mr. Li is truly a contemporary figure with extraordinary comprehension. He actually grasped the true meaning of the ancient text from this inscription. Amazing, amazing!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands and seemed very happy.

Li Ming just shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just feel a mysterious power that makes me feel the true meaning of these two words. I don't know if this feeling is correct."

The Fourteenth Prince smiled and said, "Indeed, according to my ancestors' records, the words 'Boundary Monument' are engraved on this stone tablet!"

Qiao Tianbao then stepped forward to look at the inscription, and finally said very seriously, "I am not as good as Mr. Li. He is indeed a great talent. After this trip, I will make a suggestion to His Majesty and recommend you to enter the National Academy!!!"
