Mo Wen summarized his restlessness as a result of not having fought recently; in other words, he was simply bored. The lack of battles had indeed made him feel somewhat dull. Back in the Cloud Mist Forest, he had hardly experienced a single peaceful day. Whether he was on the run or being chased, he faced battles almost every day, and in such an environment, it was natural for him not to feel restless.
However, since entering this mountain range, he could count the number of Demon Beasts and Chimeras he had encountered on one hand. Especially in recent days, there had been no battles at all; there weren't even any living creatures around, as if he were the only one alive in this area. This abnormality caught Mo Wen's attention, but so far, aside from feeling slightly restless, he hadn't experienced any other adverse reactions. Therefore, he remained vigilant without considering taking a detour.
Sitting cross-legged on a tree branch and gazing into the distance, he couldn't help but frown. The closer he got to Bei Yin Mountain, the denser the clouds in the sky and the fog on the ground became. From afar, it appeared that the clouds surrounding Bei Yin Mountain had completely blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow over the area as if it were night. Occasionally, Electric Snakes slithered through the clouds, seemingly brewing a storm. This scene resembled descriptions of storms from storybooks. At that moment, he could also see the situation of Bei Yin Mountain more clearly; the clouds obscured the upper part of the Mountain Body and flowed down like a waterfall, creating a sea of fog on the ground. The entire Bei Yin Mountain looked like a fountain emitting mist, with lighter clouds floating halfway up and heavier ones sinking to form a foggy sea in the forest.
Retracting his gaze, Mo Wen opened his storage bag and the Storage Device he had obtained from Wang Tian. Although his recent harvests had been minimal, being alone did not hinder him from organizing his belongings. More importantly, he needed to force himself to develop a habit of tidying up; the chaotic feeling from organizing in the cave had made him quite uncomfortable.
After tidying up and preparing to rest, his attention was drawn to a wooden box that seemed to be glowing faintly. This box was given to him by the Village Chief of Kao Shu Village, and he had never opened it since then. Curious about its contents, he opened it to reveal an object inside: a stone tablet about half a foot wide and a foot tall. The tablet was originally covered with dense inscriptions, but they had become blurred over time. At the top of the tablet was once a circular pattern that had also faded. At that moment, arcs of electricity flickered across its surface, causing the previously unclear inscriptions to begin to clarify. After straining his eyes for half an hour, Mo Wen finally discerned one character: "Tai."
"It's Yin Wen!" After identifying the character "Tai," Mo Wen felt an overwhelming excitement. Yin Wen was an ancient script; its presence indicated that this stone tablet was an artifact from ancient times. Moreover, Yin Wen was one of the subjects he studied with Old Lu back in Cloud Mist Forest. Before starting his cultivation practice, Old Lu began teaching him how to recognize characters and understand texts. Initially, they covered ordinary writing before delving into some strange scripts from this world and languages of other races—Yin Wen being one of them.
