Wu Ye Journal

"If you are reading this, it means that you are my descendant and my plan has succeeded. From now on, our lineage finally has an heir."

"Before I begin to explain my story, I would like to curse All 18 generations of Shi Hai’s family. I hope all of your relatives and descendants--both direct and distant--to die a painful death and never reincarnated. As for you, Shi Hai, I hope you are castrated, then rape by more than 10,000 men for 10,000 years."

"That damn Shi Hai had a truly Heaven defying talent. Our master always complimented him and compared him to me. At that time, although I always envied him a little, I was happy for him as he was my sworn brother. After all, we came from the same village and grew up as neighbors."

"Despite my lack of soul power for carving runes, my perception and understanding of runes was not worse than his. So, I did not give up on my path studying formation. I always believe that I might be able to find a way to fix or make up for my talent in the soul department."

"And I succeeded. One day, suddenly I thought, why should I only use the soul to carve out runes? Why couldn’t I use my body as a source instead?"

"With the secret help of the master and a few junior brothers, I have successfully developed a method that allows me to engrave runes on my body, then blend in with Heaven and Earth to use stamina to replace soul power when arranging formations."

"This method not only made up for my lack of talent in soul power, but it also dramatically increased my affinity for runes. When I blended into Heaven and Earth, I entered an entire world made only of runes. From the soil in the ground, to the trees in the forest, to the blowing wind in the air, everything was made of runes. It was truly magical."

"However, my happiness did not last long. Shi Hai invited me to a secret realm and told me he may have found something that is helpful to my research, then, he betrayed me. He tricked me into a formation he set up to completely annihilate both my body and soul."

"I should have noticed something wrong before. When I was creating my new method with the master, Shi Hai instantly became more cold and distant. I thought that he was under pressure as the successor of the sect, but now it seemed that I was wrong."

"Before he activated that formation, I asked him the reason he betrayed me. He told me that he cannot get used to his master constantly praising me as a great genius that will bring a glorious era for the Dao of Formation. He went on a five minutes rant about how he will acquire the title of [Formation Ancestor] and his Dao will become the Orthodox way, while mine will be forever labeled as heretics."

"Luckily for me, my newly created Formation Rune Body not only provided me with matchless talent for formation, but also provided me with a great life saving method by blending into the surroundings and pretending that I’m dead.

"Although I survived Shi Hai’s formation, I can feel that I do not have long to live. I do not fear death. I fear that my legacy will be lost or destroyed. It is very likely that Shi Hai will become a Great Emperor. So, I must find a way for my future descendants to inherit my Dao, then eventually complete it and surpass me."

The rest of the book contained the way to cultivate the Formation Rune Body.
