Beastmaster of the Ages-Chapter 2740 - Grand Xia Lexicon

After bidding Zi Zhen goodbye, Tianming tugged on the interdimensional line three times to have Feiling pull him back to the Sun. Emerging from the vortex, he saw her bored expression.

She smiled and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? Did you find it?"

"Of course." Tianming hugged her and twirled around a few times before pinching her nose. "Those were sad and depressing days. My poor Ling'er, you've been pining after me over here for so long that you're turning into a statue."

"Yeah, right. Xiaoxiao often comes to spend time with me. I'm also busy cultivating, so I'm not bored. If you took a few days longer, I might’ve already become a cosmic cartographer," Feiling said.

"What in the world?!" That was fast! I need to cultivate faster using the order fragments from the Xenoabyss. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep up.

At the Cosmic Cartography stage, Feiling's spacetime orders would be infused into her cosmic chart, thereby strengthening Perpetia City. Back then, her cultivation speed was just barely able to match Tianming's, but it eventually became even faster than his, and he could only trawl along behind her despite the many things he used to boost himself.

"Alright, let's go home!" They had two homes now. The larger one was on the Sun, while the smaller one was the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. They returned to the ship, after which Lan Huang and the rest were let out to wildly rampage around. Tianming, Feiling, Xiaoxiao, and Moran gathered together. The three girls had heard about the so-called ‘strongest divine wonder’ for quite a while now, and their curiosity was at its peak.

"Let's see if Old Man Voidback was messing with me." The time when Tianming had obtained the spirit core all the way back in Red Twill Mountain near Flamehaven was also when he’d first met Feiling. It had been a long time since then. He took out the little wooden box, placed it on the floor, then sat next to it with his legs crossed. They were within the Flameyellow Guard Formation, Sky Palace Formation, and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb; it was probably the safest place they could be.

"It should be a divine wonder embryo." Moran was quite familiar with such things. Given her current constitution, she was incredibly sensitive to divine wonders. Old Man Voidback must have been telling the truth.

"Alright." Tianming grabbed the little wooden box with his black left arm. The box was just a superficial appearance, nothing more than an illusion to make it look old and worthless.

The moment Tianming's hand touched it, the box turned into an incomprehensibly tiny and dense formation. Its divine celestial patterns were like countless tiny snakes that crawled around his arm, gathering near his Sky Plundering Eye. The eye, having been trained with the Godsoul Canon, had illusory traces of spirit veins left within. He could feel that the patterns were trying to verify his identity through them. Well, even if I'm not verified, I can sky plunder my way into getting it.

It didn't take long before the process concluded. Old Man Voidback's voice rang out with intense solemnity and sentimentality. "Successor of mine, it’s your turn. This gift comes with the burden of responsibility. The grudges of the Grand Xia Voidback Nation are now yours to bear."

"Grand Xia Voidback Nation?" Was that a nation that had occupied an astral world in the astralscape? He understood what was meant by him inheriting the responsibility. After the words concluded, the tiny formation began to disintegrate, revealing a divine wonder embryo.

"Is this a book?" The shape of the embryo was truly something he hadn't imagined. It was a thick book, with each page formed from complicated divine celestial patterns. There were around a hundred thousand pages based on its thickness. It rather resembled celestial tomes, but those were usually made by inscribing divine celestial patterns on blank books. This tome, however, was entirely made of divine celestial patterns. Its cover was red and it was called the Grand Xia Lexicon. An ancient aura radiated off each and every page.

"A lexicon? Like a dictionary of sorts? Isn't that something we use to recognize words?" Tianming recalled the characters that were in common use today. Since ancient times, there were around a hundred thousand of them, which seemed to correspond to the pages of the tome.

All of a sudden, a loud, booming voice came from the tome. "There’s a hundred thousand Grand Xia characters, each one with a true meaning! The Grand Xia Voidback Nation has encoded all the deeper meanings of those characters into the grand lexicon wonder to encompass a hundred thousand universal orders. This is the number-one divine wonder in the entire universe!" freewebno(v)el.com

Of all the things Tianming had imagined an imperial-class divine wonder could be, he definitely didn't expect it to take the form of text.

"The Wonderhaze Suzerain's divine wonders were a brush and tome. I wonder if this is similar...." If that was the case, then it couldn't be that powerful. Putting aside Meng Ying's powerful divine wonders, Moran's own whales and sea were like gigantic formations packed with insane power! What could a mere hundred thousand words do? With that notion in mind, he opened the first page.

All of a sudden, a piercing sword ki shot into his soul, causing his every bone to tremble. He couldn't open his eyes from the shock. When he got used to it, he noticed the character 'one' (一). It looked like a word, but also a sword that radiated such powerful sword ki that even the stars above trembled in fear. Underneath the word was a detailed explanation that included other possible combinations, much like a normal dictionary.

"Hmmm, interesting...." Tianming was starting to grasp how the tome was different from other divine wonders. He skipped ahead a hundred pages and was greeted with a lightning storm that traveled up his entire body, making his long hair stand. It was the word for ‘electricity’ (电). Each and every stroke that formed it looked like a lightning bolt. The bolts seemed to spread throughout the stars, forming something like an electric web.
