American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 272: Sandstorm and the Extra Sun

Xu Yi was afraid that he’d encounter issues like "Master Kang" and "Handsome Kang," or "Six Walnuts" and "Six Nuclear Bombs," so he didn’t rush to conclusions and translated it word by word.

There was no mistake, it indeed was the "Sun Golden Scripture" and the "Undead Black Scripture."

Even though the concept of counterfeit products did not exist during that era, these two books were too important; they were the origin texts of magic arrays.

Generally speaking, most knowledge-based matters don’t follow the theory that "the older, the better" because knowledge evolves daily and monthly as long as someone studies it, gradually reaching higher levels.

Unless there was a disruption in the continuity of this knowledge, like what happened with "alchemy" and the "study of magic arrays."

The discontinuity in alchemy was due to the mysterious destruction of the "Eye of Truth."

As for the study of magic arrays, it was due to the loss of the Sun Golden Scripture and the Undead Black Scripture, as well as the downfall of ancient Egypt.

Xu Yi inexplicably thought of the Crow Man from the Ring of Destruction.

That level of alchemical machinery, if placed in the modern alchemy circles, would be like comparing a smartphone to a rifle and an alien laser gun.

"Could the Ring of Destruction have grasped ancient alchemy?" Xu Yi couldn’t help but speculate.

The study of magic arrays, its origin was ancient Egypt; originally, it wasn’t called by this name but was referred to as Inam, meaning "power stolen from the Gods."

The most classical example is the "Spear of Longinus," which was initially just a common spear in the hands of the Centurion Longinus. But after piercing Jesus and being stained with Jesus’ blood, it became a mythic holy artifact.

The reason why the spear could ascend to heaven in one step was because of Jesus’ divine blood, which bestowed upon it a "Sacred Array."

In fact, all mythic level holy artifacts possess Sacred Arrays.

Sacred Arrays originate from the Gods and are a power exclusive to them; the first pioneers who studied this area were the ancient Egyptian priests.

They found that certain objects that were stained with the flesh and blood or the remains of true gods developed peculiar patterns.

The priests copied these patterns, and those were the earliest embryonic forms of magic arrays.

By chance, the priests discovered that drawing these patterns with certain specific materials could produce magical abilities, and from there, research into magic arrays became unstoppable.

"Could the difference between true gods and mortals be because their bodies contain Sacred Arrays?"

Xu Yi suddenly thought of a question. Although his current body was powerful, it definitely couldn’t reach such a degree.

There was a period in ancient Egypt that was extremely prosperous; it was during that time that countless talented individuals devoted themselves to the research of magic arrays, and a plethora of results emerged.

The pharaoh of the dynasty commanded people to synthesize the essence of these magic arrays, and finally, they compiled two remarkable books, the Sun Golden Scripture and the Undead Black Scripture.

After the disappearance of the two remarkable books, the dynasty of ancient Egypt quickly declined. A large number of priests died, leading to the disappearance of the study of magic arrays for a while, until it somewhat recovered now.

It’s not that no one tried to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors to compile the Sun Golden Scripture and the Undead Black Scripture anew, but they soon found out that they were like a blind monk chasing alchemy—it was a pipe dream!

In the era of ancient Egypt, true gods definitely existed, and each one was a warmonger, similar to turf warriors, engaging in grand battles every few days, with the occasional true god falling.

In such cases, wouldn’t there be an abundance of divine remains and the flesh and blood of true gods?

But after the "Twilight of the Gods," the true gods vanished without trace. Without research materials, what could be studied?

"Talk about a blessing in disguise!"

Xu Yi’s interest in these two scriptures had already surpassed saving Robert. If Robert knew this, he’d probably cry himself to faint in the restroom.

Merging Sin Remains with a mythic holy artifact is not about throwing both into a furnace, carelessly burning them together to make a messy stew.

To retain the properties of a holy artifact, he must first transfer the "Sacred Array" on it and then imprint it onto the new alchemical weapon.

This involves research into magic arrays.

How to transfer if one is not familiar?

Xu Yi studied the ancient page back and forth but didn’t glean any valuable information; as for clues regarding Robert’s disappearance, there was not even a smidgen.

He stood up, scanned around, ignoring the flock of "famous detectives" immersed in searching for clues.

These well-known experts on ancient Egypt were getting on in years and were exceptionally brilliant; the condition of their hair was rather pitiable.

Xu Yi subconsciously touched his own hair and sighed with relief.

If he could pull out a few hairs from his balding head, that feeling of shock would be a hundred times more intense than waking up in the middle of the night to see Kayako suddenly appearing at his bedside.

Xu Yi started to "scan" through the books, scanning tirelessly.

The members of the rescue team glanced at Xu Yi and then paid him no further attention, as they didn’t really expect him to find any clues. They saw Xu Yi as a "high-powered deterrent."

After finding Robert, they would be able to get him out of danger immediately.

"So he’s just killing time!"

Seeing Xu Yi flip through one book after another only reassured them further.

No one was allowed to take materials out of this library.

Before anyone realized it, three days had passed. The rescue team members were growing increasingly anxious and the atmosphere in the library was becoming more oppressive.

Yet Xu Yi carried on as if nothing was wrong, doing whatever he needed to do.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care about Robert’s situation, it was just that panicking wouldn’t help—he wasn’t good at finding missing people.

In the span of these three days, he scanned all the books in the Library of Alexandria into his Palace of Memory, staying up two nights in the library to do so.

Many of the mysticism books here were about magic arrays.

Xu Yi wasn’t surprised; after all, the library was located in Egypt, the origin of magic arrays.

Over these days, the "Bald Detective Group" had also changed their research focus to a "Treasure Map."

They believed Robert’s disappearance must be related to the treasure map.

To Xu Yi, what they called a treasure map looked more like ghostly talismans—full of messy lines and incomprehensible symbols.

Just then, hasty footsteps sounded, causing everyone to look up. This was a library, where everyone was deep in research, and the sudden noise was irritating.

The library door was flung open violently, and a member of the rescue team came in, gasping slightly, "The... the sandstorm has appeared again!"

Everyone immediately stood up, and Xu Yi’s attention was caught as well.

The sandstorm mentioned by the member was, of course, the one that had led to Robert’s disappearance.

Over the past few days, they had proposed many theories, one of which was that the appearance of the sandstorm might have opened a breach to a Different Space, into which Robert and others had been sucked in, thus their complete disappearance.

"There’s also the sun, a golden sun has appeared in the sandstorm," the person continued.

Everyone frowned, wondering if the person was drunk and spouting nonsense. How could an extra sun appear in a sandstorm?

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened.

It couldn’t be the real sun—there was one possibility that could explain such a phenomenon.

The Sun Golden Scripture must have been activated!

Similar instances were described in related texts.

The members of the rescue team quickly discussed the situation and decided to take action.

They entered the sandstorm, reasoning that even if it was just a chance, it was better than sitting in the library, waiting for death.

This wasn’t just a figure of speech; if they kept sitting around, Robert was doomed eventually.

The convoy was quickly assembled, and after discussion, they decided to break the library’s rules and take all the materials they had studied over the past few days with them.

The materials were placed in a safe, and naturally, for safety reasons, they were entrusted to Xu Yi.

The convoy raced down the road, and from a distance, Xu Yi could already see the sandstorm. The rescue team members hadn’t exaggerated, the sandstorm was obscuring the sky, looking apocalyptic.

In the center of the sandstorm, one could see a golden sun. Xu Yi sensed an unusual aura from it.

He became more convinced that it was a fluctuation caused by the Sun Golden Scripture.

The sun disappeared quickly, but the sandstorm continued. The driver pressed the gas pedal to the floor in silence. Although the last sandstorm had lasted all night, they couldn’t afford to gamble and had to hurry.
