Chapter 67 - Calm Down! (2)
Liu Wenyan was a little unhappy.
However, the meaning behind his words was very clear. In a few days, he would write a will essay for Su Yu.
With his strength that had just advanced, even if Su Yu didn’t know what price he had to pay to an essay of words of will, but he knew that it wouldn’t be easy.
Back then, Bai Feng was at the sixth level of the Soaring Realm and was almost at the seventh level. Even so, his face turned pale when he wrote the [Origin Opening Art].
Su Yu bitterly smiled. There were a few times in the past when he wanted to ask his teacher… but he was always lectured in this manner.
Sometimes, Liu Wenyan was very stubborn. As a teacher, he would impart his teachings and dispel doubts. Other than these, Liu Wenyan felt that teachers should guide students on the right path.
He felt that if Su Yu was focused on asking about divine runes at this moment, he would be going astray.
The power of will was the foundation, and divine runes were something that would happen in the later stages. At this moment, if one bit off more than one could chew, it would be easy for them to step onto the wrong path.
“Teacher…”
“No more questions!”
“Teacher!”
Su Yu felt a headache. Sometimes, the old man was terrifyingly stubborn. “I’ve already learnt the outlining of divine runes…”
“Shut up!”
......
Liu Wenyan suddenly flew into a rage!
Su Yu froze slightly. He looked at the angry Liu Wenyan and sensed that something was amiss.

Liu Wenyan was also shocked by his own anger. After that, his expression changed for a moment before he regained his composure. He then spoke in a low voice, “I’m a little regretful that I asked Bai Feng to teach you. Divine runes… are a good thing, but I didn’t expect that you would be so persistent in pursuing divine runes!”
“Su Yu, civilization master, and divine runes. These two are inseparable. However, you must remember that willpower is the foundation!
He didn’t listen to Su Yu’s words about learning how to outline divine runes. Naturally, he had misunderstood as well. Having learnt it didn’t mean that one could outline divine runes.
Liu Wenyan took a deep breath and beckoned. “Sit!”
Su Yu sat down obediently.
After he sat down, Liu Wenyan’s gaze was dazed for a moment before he quickly returned to normal. He struggled a little but still spoke, “There are some civilization masters who feel that divine runes are powerful. They wholeheartedly pursued divine runes when they were young when their will isn’t firm!
“In the Great Xia Civilization Academy, the academy heads of several generations have left behind a divine rune. Among there were very useful ones. Every word is a world, making people yearn for it.”
“50 years ago, the fifth-generation academy head of the Great Xia Civilization Academy died, leaving behind a single word… That word changed many things and also changed many people.
A hint of bitterness appeared in Liu Wenyan’s eyes. “Some civilization masters who pursue the strength of divine runes have stepped onto another path of civilization masters—the path of divine runes! They focused mainly on divine runes. Divine runes become their main path, and all things become supplementary!”
“Some of the geniuses from back then, geniuses at the nurturing stage, geniuses who were on the verge of stepping into the manifestation stage, were also greatly affected. They decided to outline powerful divine runes before they manifested, and even wanted to outline divine runes to kill Soaring Realm experts above their levels!
“They are ambitious and think that they are gifted and omnipotent!”
“They aren’t willing to become ordinary civilization masters. They want to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, draw out powerful divine runes, and even manifest the true divine runes of eternal inheritances. They want to become geniuses among the myriad races in the heavens!
“They want to rely on divine runes to kill gods and devils, conquer the heavens, and sweep through those of the same level!
“But…”
Liu Wenyan looked at Su Yu and calmly said, “They failed! Many of them died, and many of them stopped at the nurturing stage for their entire lives! They were all geniuses with better futures and could contribute more to the human race, but they chose the wrong path.”
“Today, if you go to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, they will teach you divine runes. However, before they teach you, they will tell you not to pursue the strengthening of divine runes excessively. That will be a matter for the future.”
“They will use an example to tell you that back then, so-and-so had extraordinary talent. Because he pursued the strength of divine runes before he manifested them, he eventually became a nobody and was completely crippled!
“And that so-and-so… maybe… there’s someone called Liu Wenyan!”
Su Yu’s heart was in turmoil. Actually, when Liu Wenyan said those words earlier, he already had a judgment. In the end, he was certain.
Liu Wenyan’s mood was low as he said in a low voice, “50 years ago, Bai Feng and my teacher were fellow disciples, under the same teacher. At that time, both of us were in the nurturing stage. My willpower was at 80% and wasn’t too far away from the manifestation stage. He had just stepped into the nurturing stage.”
“At that time, the fifth generation academy head died, leaving behind a single word… which changed my life and the lives of many people!
“50 years later, I am a trash civilization master who had just materialized. As for my junior brother, he was already a civilization master at the Mountain Sea Realm. He can stand on his own, fight against all heavens and kill gods and devils!
Liu Wenyan felt a little bitter. “Su Yu, don’t pursue this too much. I’m starting to regret it. I should have told you earlier that I regret it. I was worried that you would walk on the wrong path. Divine runes are supplementary, not fundamental.”

“Even if you want to strengthen your divine runes, we’ll talk about it after you manifest them.”
“One is at the first level of the Soaring Realm, while the other is at the Mountain Sea Realm… This is the difference in the path one chooses. The final outcome is heaven and earth.”
Su Yu’s throat felt a little dry. He then asked softly, “Teacher, divine runes… can interfere with the manifestation of willpower?”
“Yes and no.”
“Under normal circumstances, they won’t, but nurturing divine runes consumes too much willpower. Of course, it’s fine even if they are nurtured normally. However, those people from back then… have gone crazy.”
When Liu Wenyan said “crazy”, he sounded a little pained.
“For people like us, if we want to truly nurture divine runes that can manifest reality before manifesting them, we won’t have to do it in the sea of will. Instead, we have to manifest them into reality and condense them into divine weapons or even eternal inheritances… Don’t you think we’re crazy?”
