Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After One Emperor left, Happy quickly cast out many of the thoughts in his head. Time was pressing, and he really did not have the time to care about any other emotions in him. To fight against Evil Emperor when he came to the Chinese server and Class One Hall, whose strength had increased to an unimaginable degree, he had to seize every moment he had to increase his strength.

He shut himself in a prison cell and sat down cross-legged resolutely. Then, he brought out the stone plate from his Universe Bag. By now, the quest item had already passed the protection time for quest items.

‘The divine monk from Dafo Temple seems to be comparable to Punishment Mount’s Mad Monk when it comes to qi realms. The ultimate martial art contained in this stone plate shouldn’t be something simple, or else, it wouldn’t have attracted Evil King Shi Zhixuan as well as Kind Boathouse.’

Happy flipped over the stone plate repeatedly to size it up and observe whether there was any mechanism hidden inside. He also carefully ran his finger across it to sense the material and uniqueness in the stone plate.

He had been running around with the stone plate for a full day, and now, he finally had time to carefully observe the stone plate in his hand.

When he held it in his hand, it was heavy. The pattern on it did not seem to be carved onto the stone plate with a normal method, because Happy had seen that male player try to destroy this stone plate with everything he had, but the pattern on the stone plate was still complete, and no sign of ruin could be seen on it.

‘What material was used to make it?’ Happy was slightly shocked.

Even though there were plenty of items that were difficult to destroy in the game, such as Wild Silk Handkerchief, this was still the first time he saw a stone plate made with such a unique material.

Why did the divine monk from Dafo Temple carve his legacy on four different stone plates?

The puzzlement in his heart grew.

Dafo Temple had been destroyed for many years, and it was only natural that he could not uncover many of the secrets inside.

‘I’ll understand the ultimate technique inside before anything else.’

Happy soon ignored everything else and focused his full attention on studying the patterns on both sides of the stone plate.

The stone plate was only about the size of two palms, and the patterns were very clear. On the surface was a picture of a scenery, and it depicted a willows tree swaying in the wind. There were no words on it. On the back was a lake.

There were no words as well.

Happy did not receive any system notification.

Happy’s expression turned slightly stiff, and a bad feeling started growing in his heart.

‘Could it be… that if I only have one of these, it’s completely useless?’

Happy flipped the stone plate around repeatedly, and the excitement in his heart also started disappearing slowly.

He had been searching for a long time, but he could not find any clues or mechanisms on the stone plate.

There was not even a single word on it, and neither did he receive any system notification.

The worst was that the system notification he previously received told him that he had to understand what was drawn on the stone plate before he could learn the ultimate technique inside. Happy gritted his teeth and stared at the stone plate for half an hour, but he did not get any information from it.

‘I refuse to believe in this nonsense.

‘Since Shi Feixuan and Evil King left with their stone plates, it’s impossible that there is no secret in my stone plate.’

He continued observing it.

A strong refusal to admit defeat surged up in Happy’s heart. His gaze burned as he continued staring at the picture of the willows swaying in the wind.

Another hour passed.

Happy sighed in resignation and flipped over the stone plate. He had already remembered all the patterns contained in the picture of the willows swaying in the wind, but he still gained nothing.

‘Is it the lake behind this stone plate…’

Happy’s gaze landed on the circles of ripples on the surface of the lake.

For some unknown reason, when he looked at the lively lake carved at the back, Happy suddenly remembered the Moon in Well he learned from Kuo Zhong in the other world.

Inspiration flashed in his mind.

Could it be that there was no meaning behind the picture, and it was really telling him information about how he should have his state of mind to be?

Moon in Well required his heart to be as calm as the water reflecting the moon.

Happy was delighted, he felt that he had seized on a series of thoughts.

He stared at the ripples on the lake, and Happy gradually relaxed, calmed down, and slowly closed his eyes to remember his state of the mind after he understood Moon in Well.

As he breathed, peace descended in his heart without his knowledge.

The Myth Realm criminal nearby who had been staring at Happy held his breath.

He had not understood why Happy had been flipping around the item in his hand all this while, but now, as Happy calmed down and breathed casually, he gradually frowned.

He could sense that Happy’s perception was slowly widening, and a calmness that tolerated everything spread out from him.

No one knew how long had passed, but when Happy opened his eyes, a gasp filled with shock and delight rose in the prison.

“Huh?”

When he opened his eyes and had his eyes land on the stone plate, Happy gained a strange feeling.

At that moment, the surface of the lake on the stone plate seemed to have started creating layers of ripples, and they spread out slowly, as if they had become alive.

Happy sucked in a sharp breath in disbelief, but he did not dare readily destroy his current state of mind. He focused his attention and carefully observed the stone plate.

A strange chance had indeed happened to the stone plate in his hands.

The lake on the stone plate became alive.

Wind, water, and ripples on the lake. Happy could clearly sense all the changes on the lake.

‘This is amazing. As I expected, I will only be able to see and understand the secret in the stone plate when I calm down and enter a state similar to the one the Buddhists speak of, by saying that the mind should be as calm as the water in an ancient well.’

A smile of relief, as if he had been removed from a huge burden, appeared on Happy’s face.

After a few hours, he finally understood the secret in the stone plate!

‘The surface of the lake is just the state of the mind I need to be in, and it’s the statement telling me how to activate the secret of the stone plate. Then, these willows swaying in the wind should be the one really containing the ultimate technique.’

Happy sucked in a deep breath and slowly turned the stone plate around.

Whoosh…
