Chapter 401: Advancing to Eight-Tier Book Gu, Divine Ability Six Lines Divination
Boom~~~
In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed that the Book Gu on his body was radiating ten thousand rays of light, and dense Runes appeared on its body, unfathomable, as if merging into the Void.
Vaguely, it seemed as if dense books had appeared deep within its body.
Endless knowledge was gestating within its body.
Thump!
Suddenly, Zhou Sui sensed that the space within the Book Gu had expanded further; compared to before, it had expanded by who knows how many times, truly boundless.
If the internal space of the Seven-Tier Book Gu was a Virtual Book World, that was merely a Small Thousand World.
But now, after advancing to the Eight-Tier realm, it was already a Great Thousand World.
The books and knowledge it could contain inside were, compared to before, increased by who knows how many times.
"This!"
Zhou Sui discovered that his Soul seemed to have merged into one with the Book Gu; his Soul had fused into the Book Gu, seemingly becoming a part of the Book Gu, and his Soul seemed to have become the Heavenly Dao of the Book Gu, monitoring everything.
Suddenly, within the Book Gu's internal world, continents, oceans, and countless islands appeared.
Numerous mountain ranges, rivers, valleys, deserts, and other such places also emerged as the situation required.
This was simply a complete Great Thousand World.
It was just that this world was still empty, and in many, many places, it remained just a vast, boundless flat land.
This was because even though the Book Gu's cultivation had obtained a huge improvement, it was still extremely lacking in knowledge.
It needed to use infinite knowledge to fill the Book Gu's internal space.
Only in this way could it promote the further growth of the Book Gu.
The nutrients obtained from the many pieces of knowledge acquired previously were basically completely exhausted at this moment.
Unless more knowledge could be obtained, the Book Gu would not continue to grow in the short term.
"Wanting to obtain more knowledge and books is likely not such a simple matter."
"Now I cannot return to the Human Race, so naturally I cannot obtain knowledge from the Human Imperial City."
"However, secret manuals obtained by other races naturally cannot be obtained by Cultivators of foreign races."
"Even getting close is an impossible thing."
"Right, the Flying Crane Secret Realm; that place was once the ancestral land of the Flying Crane Clan."
"Perhaps in the core area, various secret manuals of the former Flying Crane Clan still remain."
"It seems I still need to control the Flying Crane Secret Realm as soon as possible."
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
He felt that the Flying Crane Secret Realm was simply a huge treasure.
If it could be completely excavated, the benefits to himself could be imagined; they were simply immeasurable.
Of course, wanting to completely excavate this treasure in the short term was also basically an impossible thing.
However, he had plenty of time, so naturally he was not in a rush for the moment.
Boom~~
The next second, another stream of information submerged into the depths of his sea of consciousness like a tide.
Divine Ability—Six Lines Divination!
This was a powerful causal divine ability gestated by the Book Gu after advancing to the Eight-Tier realm.
Once this divine ability was unleashed, one could track different people and things through various causes and effects.
It could even, to a certain extent, predict the future.
Unlike the Precognition of the Luck Gu, the Luck Gu is triggered passively; only when encountering danger, when the Luck Gu senses the arrival of Tribulation Qi, will it trigger Precognition.
But Six Lines Divination is different; it is triggered actively, and according to the power of causality, it predicts all kinds of matters.
It can be said that this divine ability is incomparably powerful and simply has infinite wonderful uses.
"Six Lines Divination!"
In an instant, Zhou Sui moved his mind and immediately unleashed this divine ability.
Boom~~
At this moment, he sensed that the entire heaven and earth had undergone an earth-shaking change; this world seemed to have appeared with dense black and white lines, which were Causal Lines.
The entire world was interwoven from infinite Causal Lines.
This was the Causality Web.
All living beings are unable to escape this great net and are always situated within causality.
The so-called Six Lines Divination is to track the result one wants and obtain the information one needs by going from cause to effect through the infinite Causal Lines.
When a wild goose passes, it must leave a trace.
Living beings are the same.
As long as they appear in this world, they will definitely leave traces and leave behind their own information.
These past pieces of information are recorded by the Heavenly Dao and merged into the depths of time and space in this world.
Some powerful Cultivators can communicate with the Heavenly Dao and understand causality through divination techniques, thereby being able to deduce the past, present, and future; this is the principle of divination techniques.
But wanting to achieve this is extremely difficult.
First, one needs a powerful soul talent; otherwise, there is simply no way to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and understand causality.
Secondly, one needs formidable computational ability.
Because the information obtained from the Heavenly Dao is infinite and vast like clouds and smoke, if an ordinary Cultivator obtains so much information without sufficient computational ability, their head would be instantly blown up, causing their soul to die from overload.
Finally, there is powerful comprehension.
Even if you possess sufficient computational ability, when you obtain an infinite quantity of chaotic and disorganized information, you also need sufficient comprehension and wisdom to be able to peel the cocoon and extract the silk from this information and deduce the information you need.
However, such comprehension is not something everyone can possess.
The more complex the matter being deduced, the more astonishing the required comprehension.
Of course, if it were merely simple affairs, the required comprehension would not need to be so great.
Therefore, even within the Spirit World, truly profound and unfathomable diviners are simply extremely rare.
With various talents layered together, the number of Cultivators who can truly perform divination and comprehend the Causal Line supernatural power is simply few and far between, or one could say, can be counted on one's fingers.
However, Zhou Sui is different.
With the help of the power of the Book Gu, he can possess sufficiently powerful computational ability and super-strong comprehension, and when combined with Six Lines Divination, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger.
"This Causal Line supernatural power is not just as simple as being able to divine the future."
"At the same time, it can also divine the past and gain insight into past information."
"As long as it is a place covered by the Book Gu, one can know the things that have happened in this place over countless years in the past."
"The Book Gu has now advanced to the Eight-Tier realm and is bound together with the Luck of the Human Race."
"In other words, in places covered by the Luck of the Human Race, all information has nowhere to hide."
"Even without stepping out of the house, one can know anything that happens in the places ruled by the Human Race."
A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.
He sensed the power of this ability of the Book Gu; if used on the Human Race and used within the Xuanhuang World, it could probably make the Human Race develop rapidly, which is simply like adding wings to a tiger.
No matter what happens anywhere in the Xuanhuang World, it will be known by the Book Gu in an instant.
This is simply equivalent to an existence of omniscience.
If the Luck of the Human Race could cover the entire Spirit World, then the many pieces of information in the Spirit World would also have nowhere to hide from him.
The power of the Eight-Tier Book Gu can be seen from this.
Boom—
At this very moment, Zhou Sui moved his mind and immediately activated the power of the Eight-Tier Book Gu.
Immediately, the Sub-Gu of the Book Gu remaining in the Xuanhuang World instantly released an invisible force, communicating with the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang World and covering every corner of the entire Xuanhuang World.
This was as if it had connected to the Heavenly Dao database of the Xuanhuang World, obtaining the infinite information within the Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, more than a dozen virtual books immediately condensed deep inside the Book Gu: the Yanzhou Book, Qingzhou Book, Yuzhou Book, Xuzhou Book, Jizhou Book, Youzhou Book, Bingzhou Book, Yangzhou Book, Jingzhou Book, Yizhou Book, Liangzhou Book, Jiaozhou Book, Xuan Huang Book, Sea Book, and so on.
Each book contained many events that had once occurred on this continent.
This was just like a series of continental diaries.
"Qingzhou Continent, XX month XX day, a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator slaughtered a hundred cities in order to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, causing countless mortal deaths and injuries, inciting heaven's wrath and people's resentment; later, Wuji Daoren of the Xuanhuang Sect took action and killed this demon at Huangtian Mountain."
"Youzhou Continent, XX month XX day, the Tiger Clan roared in the mountains and forests, dissatisfied with the Human Race's hegemony, wanting to build a Demon Race empire and restore the former glory of the Demon Race; they led ten million Monster Beasts to kill their way out of the mountain range, forming a Beast Tide, sweeping away everything in their path, destroying forty-nine human cities, causing children to stop crying, with countless deaths and injuries."
"Later, Peak Master Leng Yuexi of Xianxia Peak of the Xuanhuang Sect took action, led a large number of Xuanhuang Sect Disciples to arrive here, killed the Spirit Severing Thunder Tiger Clan members as well as dozens of Nascent Soul Thunder Tiger Clan Cultivators, quelled the demon disaster, and the Thunder Tiger Clan was exterminated."
"Jiaozhou Dalu, XX month XX day, the Demon Wood World of the Middle Thousand World merged into Jiaozhou Dalu; this world is a demonic world, the Demon Wood Clan held hegemony, they attempted to spread Demon Wood seeds, occupy Jiaozhou Dalu, and devour countless flesh and blood creatures. Later, the Xuanhuang Sect Master personally took action, killed hundreds of Spirit Severing Demon Wood Clan Cultivators, and quelled the disaster of the Alien invasion. The Demon Wood Clan, exterminated."
Suddenly, pieces of information immediately appeared on these continental diaries.
Basically, all kinds of major events that occurred in the Xuanhuang World would be recorded within them.
No, it was not just all kinds of major events; even all kinds of minor matters would be recorded within them.
Even the life of a mortal and the various things they had experienced would form a biography.
"Too powerful."
Seeing this information, Zhou Sui exclaimed in admiration.
Although he knew that after the Book Gu advanced to the Eight-Tier realm, its ability would have a geometric increase and could not be compared to before, he did not expect it to be so powerful that it could actually monitor the world.
Even without stepping out of the house, the Book Gu could gain insight into everything happening in all parts of the Xuanhuang World.
It could even gain insight into the past and present of every mortal and know their origins.
Of course, the reason why it could know this information was not because the Book Gu was powerful.
It was purely because the Heavenly Dao was powerful.
The Heavenly Dao of the world recorded all the information of every creature's life and integrated it into the Heavenly Dao.
On ordinary days, this information was integrated into the Heavenly Dao, and no one could know it.
But now that the Book Gu had advanced to the Eight-Tier, it could mobilize the database of the Heavenly Dao and retrieve data from it.
That is why the Book Gu could display such incredible ability, surpassing imagination.
"With this ability, it is basically impossible for any external enemy to attempt to invade the Xuanhuang World."
"Any creature not registered by the Book Gu is basically an external creature."
"This is also equivalent to household registration."
Zhou Sui was very moved.
Such an ability was indeed extraordinary; it was as if he had mastered the power of omniscience.
For him, no one in the Xuanhuang World had any secrets to speak of.
"However, this Causal Line supernatural power is not invincible either."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
He also instantly perceived a drawback of this supernatural art; this supernatural power, Six Lines Divination, was not one hundred percent successful and had flaws.
Do not look at the power of the Book Gu to gain insight into causality as being very powerful; there would also be various interfering factors.
For example, when a great tribulation arrives, the Tribulation Qi surges to the sky, which will disrupt causality.
Even if one performs the Divination Art, one will not be able to see any information.
Various Causal Lines are chaotic and disorderly, tangled into a ball like a mess of hemp.
In this way, all Cultivators are blind and unable to gain insight into many pieces of information.
Or, for example, those with great Luck; because they are covered by Luck, causality is not apparent, and if others perform the Divination Art, they will also be unable to perceive the existence of the Son of Luck.
It is even impossible to perceive the Causal Line of a Son of Luck.
After all, deep within the Heavenly Dao, there are trillions of Causal Lines; trying to find the Causal Line of a specific person is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is fundamentally impossible to find.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao might also deliberately conceal this Causal Line, making it impossible for ordinary power to detect.
There are also Cultivators with Great Ability who themselves master causal divine abilities, can interfere with the power of causality, and know how to shield causality; when the two collide, it will naturally also interfere with the results of divination.
Even certain Dharma Treasures, or Immortal Artifacts, can also shield causality and interfere with causality.
Preventing the prying of the Heavenly Dao.
In short, the Six Lines Divination is not one hundred percent successful either.
But even so, this technique will still bring great convenience.
It can allow the Book Gu to gain insight into a great deal of intelligence and obtain infinite information between heaven and earth.
"The Book Gu is simply an invincible existence in the Xuanhuang World."
"Like an omniscient immortal, knowing everything and calculating without error."
"If this power could be used in the Spirit World, wouldn't it be invincible?"
Zhou Sui stroked his chin, unable to help but feel tempted.
The pity is that such a thing is basically impossible to do in the Spirit World.
Because wanting to communicate with the Spirit World Heavenly Dao is not such an easy matter; it simply does not have such high authorization.
Being able to achieve this in the Xuanhuang World is naturally because the Human Race is the absolute hegemon of the Xuanhuang World, the hegemonic race, occupying all the Luck, and having obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, so the authorization is naturally extremely high.
But in the Spirit World, the Human Race is merely an insignificant small race, with weak Luck.
Naturally, it is also unable to obtain the recognition of the Spirit World Heavenly Dao.
The other party will also not open the authorization for the Book Gu to browse the information of the Heavenly Dao.
At most, it can only check the causal information possessed by the Human Race.
It is difficult to query other races.
Of course, if the Luck of the Human Race continues to grow, its territory continues to expand, and it finally becomes the hegemon of the Spirit World, with its Luck covering the Xuanhuang World, then the Book Gu can also do the same things as in the Xuanhuang World.
It is a pity that if one wants to achieve this, one does not even know how much time it would take.
"Forget it, forget it, this is not the most important thing at the moment."
"The most important thing now is to improve my own cultivation and improve the various skills I possess."
"After the Book Gu advanced to the Eighth-Tier realm, the comprehension it can provide is obviously even more astonishing."
"With the assistance of the Eighth-Tier Book Gu, I am afraid I can also comprehend more of the hundred arts of immortal cultivation, as well as divine abilities and techniques."
"Perhaps the progress of my Pill Dao cultivation will be faster than I imagined."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
The cultivation he most wants to improve now is naturally Pill Dao.
After all, only by advancing to a Seventh-Tier Alchemist, or a Sixth-Grade High-Grade Alchemist, does one have the ability to refine the Taixuan Wanmiao Pill.
In this way, his Dao Companion Tao Qili will have the opportunity to advance to the Integration Realm, causing a second Integration Great Power to appear in Fengxi City.
Thinking of this, he also immediately began his practice of Pill Dao.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed.
Xuanhuang World, Xuanhuang Sect.
Although it was only a short hundred years, the development of the Xuanhuang World was also changing with each passing day.
Because the Xuanhuang World was constantly evolving and merging into one Middle Thousand World after another.
This also allowed countless Cultivators to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources.
Therefore, this period of time was simply the happiest days for Cultivators; basically, they did not need to worry about resources.
Previously, it was an extremely difficult thing for ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
But now, as long as one has enough money, one can basically buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.
This also allowed a large number of Cultivators to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm and obtain more than two hundred years of Longevity.
Without a doubt, for the Xuanhuang World, this was simply a golden age of cultivation.
All kinds of geniuses appeared one after another.
It was as if a brand-new era had been opened.
Xu Wenze was a lucky one of this new era.
Originally, he was just a rural lad born in an ordinary village on the Jiaozhou Dalu, but because he triggered the stone tablet phenomenon while practicing the Xuanhuang Scripture, he obtained the qualification to join the Xuanhuang Sect and became a Disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect.
Moreover, his aptitude was considered quite good, belonging to the Third-Grade Spirit Root, which could be counted in the ranks of Superior Spiritual Root.
But that was only relative to ordinary Cultivators.
For a supreme sect like the Xuanhuang Sect, a super sect that ruled the entire Xuanhuang World, the geniuses and monsters inside were countless.
A mere Superior Spiritual Root was simply inconspicuous.
Disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect who were Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators were also everywhere; if you threw a stone, you could hit a whole bunch of them.
What was even more terrifying was that those Heavenly Spirit Root Disciples actually possessed all kinds of Dao bodies and all kinds of special constitutions.
Compared to these super geniuses, he was simply scum.
"These disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect are simply monsters."
Xu Wenze was very depressed; he was twenty-three years old now, but he was only at the Qi Refining Third Layer realm.
For ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators, the cultivation speed was naturally extremely fast, and there was hope for Foundation Establishment in the future.
The problem was that he had already become a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect; who the hell would take Foundation Establishment as their goal?
Not daring to say that he would attain the Dao and longevity in the future, but at the very least, he should become a Nascent Soul or Spirit Severing.
After all, many of the senior brothers and sisters in the sect established their foundation at eighteen, and at the very worst, they could establish their foundation at twenty-five or twenty-six.
But as for himself, at twenty-three years old he was only at the Qi Refining Third Layer; he truly felt sorry for the cultivation resources the sect had bestowed upon him.
He felt like a little white rabbit who had mistakenly wandered into a pack of fierce tigers.
A small academic underachiever among many academic elites, he appeared exceptionally eye-catching.
Every assessment resulted in him being dead last; wouldn't that make him stand out all the more?!
To tell the truth, because his cultivation was so pathetic, many fellow disciples had started to doubt his identity, wondering if he was the Sect Master's illegitimate child, which was the only reason he could have joined the Xuanhuang Sect.
He actually wished the rumors were true, but the problem was that he really wasn't, and he had no background whatsoever.
"If things continue like this, won't I become the first disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect to be expelled?"
"The reason for expulsion: poor aptitude, rotten wood that cannot be carved."
Xu Wenze felt a bit panicked.
Although he felt this was impossible, after all, the Xuanhuang Sect had been established for such a long time, and unless a disciple committed a grave error, they would never be expelled from the sect.
But if things continued like this, it might not be impossible.
He even felt that the Elders within the sect looked at him with a strange expression, as if they thought the stone tablet might have malfunctioned, which was why he, this fish that slipped through the net, had appeared.
To tell the truth, his skin was very thick.
If the sect didn't speak up, he would shamelessly remain in the Xuanhuang Sect.
Who doesn't know that it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree?
The status of a Xuanhuang Sect Disciple, if taken outside, would make one a powerful regional official.
Being flattered and fawned over by countless Cultivators.
Even many Cultivators with cultivation levels far stronger than his dared not say anything to him, all of them lowering their heads and acting submissive.
A single identity was like that of a dynasty's Crown Prince.
The various invisible benefits were simply too numerous to count.
"But what exactly is going on with my cultivation?"
"Although my Spirit Root aptitude is only third grade, it is at least a Superior Spiritual Root."
"Added to that are the many Spirit Medicine and Pill supplements, and years of bitter cultivation; no matter how you look at it, it's impossible to only be at the Qi Refining Third Layer."
"Why do I feel like every time I cultivate, there seems to be something slowing down my progress?"
Xu Wenze felt that something must be wrong with his body; otherwise, such a situation would not occur.
In fact, he had asked many Elders to look at it, but the Elders couldn't see any problems.
As for the Sect Master, he had never met them.
After all, he was just a tiny Qi Refining Stage Disciple, so how could he have the qualifications to meet the Sect Master?!
For an ordinary Elder to see the Sect Master once was an incredibly difficult matter, let alone himself.
So all of this could only be solved by relying on himself.
"Shut up, brat."
"It's just asking for a tiny bit of Spirit Qi from your body, and you're already whining here."
"Do you know that meeting me is the greatest blessing of your entire life?"
Just at this moment, an ancient voice immediately rang out from the depths of Xu Wenze's sea of consciousness; although it sounded very weak, it was arrogant and bossy, extremely haughty.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a huge furnace appear in the depths of his Dantian Qi Sea, with dense, ancient, and mysterious Runes appearing on it, containing an unfathomable aura.
It seemed that with a slight movement, it could release infinite flames and burn everything.
It seemed this was a huge god furnace.
Only, this god furnace seemed to be in a damaged state, with dense cracks appearing everywhere, as if it could shatter at any moment and fall completely to pieces.
"What are you? Why are you in my body?"
"Could it be that you are the one causing the problems with my cultivation?"
Xu Wenze was stunned; he had no idea how such a Treasure had appeared in his body.
He wasn't a fool, and he immediately associated it with his slow cultivation progress from before.
Without a doubt, it must be this strange god furnace deep inside his body that was causing the trouble.
That was why his cultivation speed was so slow.
"That's right, it is indeed this lord who is causing the trouble."
"This lord is the Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace; meeting this lord is simply the honor of your life."
"Why haven't you knelt down to worship yet?"
"If you can please this lord, you might even have hope for eternal life."
This voice claimed to be the Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace.
"So it was you causing all the trouble."
"I will report this to the sect right now and have you dragged out."
Xu Wenze gritted his teeth, furious to the point of death.
Before, he had almost mistakenly believed he was a complete good-for-nothing, as his aptitude was already poor and couldn't compare to those monstrous geniuses; now, to have a strange Treasure slowing down his cultivation progress was simply outrageous.
He immediately wanted to take action and find a sect Elder to resolve the hidden danger in his body.
"Stop, you idiot."
"If you expose me, you won't fare well either."
"I am bound to your Soul."
"If you act rashly, this lord will perish together with you."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace was also stunned; it never expected this kid to be so reckless and not play by the rules at all.
Normally, after obtaining an Immortal Artifact like itself, wouldn't one be wild with joy and never leak it to anyone else?
This kid is something else.
To actually want to expose himself without any concern, it is simply preposterous, he is completely insane.
What Cultivator would expose the fortuitous encounter they obtained? Isn't that stupid?!
Therefore, it could not afford to keep up the act of being an expert and immediately spoke out to threaten him.
Otherwise, if it were truly exposed, it might be completely finished.
After all, the number of Cultivators who want to completely refine an Immortal Artifact like itself is simply countless.
It does not want to become a slave to other Cultivators.
"Ahem, this big brother, you should have said earlier that you have a way to perish together."
"If you talk like that, I can understand."
Xu Wenze coughed once and immediately backed down; he is someone who knows how to bend and stretch.
After all, he still wants to attain the Dao and become an immortal in the future; he does not want to fall here now.
"This."
Hearing this, the Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace was speechless; it had not expected this Human Cultivator to be so spineless—as soon as it threatened him a little, he immediately admitted defeat.
But this is also a good thing; at least there is no danger of it being exposed.
"Rest assured, I am not a threat to you either."
"Your Soul and mine have long been bound together."
"If I die, you will die; if you die, I will also die."
"We are one and the same, which is why I spoke up to communicate with you."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace did not want to continue threatening this Human Cultivator; they would need to look after each other in the future, and if there were any resentment now, it would not be a good thing.
"You say you are an Immortal Artifact?"
"But how could you give birth to an Artifact spirit?"
"As far as I know, many Dharma Treasures seem unable to give birth to complete intelligence."
"At most, they just have some spirituality."
Xu Wenze could sense the goodwill of this strange Dharma Treasure inside his body, so he also calmed down, wanting to know what the background of this Immortal Artifact was and what kind of thoughts it had toward him.
"Heh, what kind of Dharma Treasures are those? They are merely objects refined by you Alien Cultivators using various materials; they cannot be considered Treasures at all."
"This master is an supreme Immortal Artifact born from the Magic Treasure Great World. I was born with intelligence and belong to the Magic Treasure race. How can mere objects be mentioned in the same breath as me?"
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said proudly.
It is very particular about its origin and background, claiming to be from the Magic Treasure race.
"The Magic Treasure race? Aren't Dharma Treasures refined?"
"Can Dharma Treasures actually form a race of their own?"
Hearing this, Xu Wenze was shocked; this is a secret that even the Xuanhuang Sect has no record of.
He had never heard of such things before.
"Heh, ignorant Human Cultivator."
"It is normal that you don't know; the world you are in is very low-level."
"Although its level is equivalent to a Great Thousand World, it is merely a Great Thousand World at the bottom of the rankings, completely unremarkable."
"But as for our Magic Treasure race, we were born in the Magic Treasure Great World."
"And the Magic Treasure Great World can rank in the top ten among the Three Thousand Great Worlds."
"Naturally, it cannot be compared to your so-called Xuanhuang World."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace was very disdainful of this so-called Xuanhuang World; it felt that compared to the Magic Treasure Great World, this world was trash—whether in terms of resources, strength, or status, they were far apart.
Being able to rank in the top ten among many Great Thousand Worlds, one can imagine the foundation and strength of the Magic Treasure Great World.
"Alright, I know your Magic Treasure Great World is very powerful, but you haven't mentioned the origin of the Magic Treasure race. Is this some kind of classified information?"
Xu Wenze asked curiously; he felt himself becoming more and more curious about the Magic Treasure race.
"As for that, ordinary Dharma Treasures are forged by the living beings of various races using materials from various races."
"Different forging techniques will form different Dharma Treasures."
"Unfortunately, these are just objects; only objects that have given birth to intelligence can be considered true Dharma Treasures."
"And our Magic Treasure race is formed naturally."
"It is not forged by human hands; it belongs to the Innate Artifacts."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said proudly.
It did not mind revealing some information about the Magic Treasure Great World.
For low-end worlds, this might be top-secret information.
But for a Great Thousand World ranked in the top ten, this is merely common knowledge.
After hundreds of millions of years of interaction, many secrets of the Magic Treasure Great World had long since leaked out.
"No way, can Dharma Treasures actually form innately?"
Xu Wenze was shocked; he had never imagined that such a thing could exist in the world.
"It is naturally not such a simple matter for Dharma Treasures to form innately."
"The reason our Magic Treasure Great World can achieve this is because of our ancestor, the Innate Treasure, the Treasure Basin."
"A fragment of it fell from the Immortal World and merged into the Magic Treasure Great World."
"Thus, this fragment devoured many rare materials from the Endless Void."
"As time went on, the Magic Treasure Great World became a dumping ground for the Heavens and Myriad Realms."
"Endless metal materials, Dharma Treasure fragments, and all kinds of materials all merged into the Magic Treasure Great World."
"Over the long passage of time, these materials and Dharma Treasure fragments, under the influence of the power of our ancestor, the Treasure Basin, intertwined and collided with one another, producing unparalleled Dao rhymes and forming one powerful Dharma Treasure after another."
"At the same time, these Dharma Treasures also gave birth to spiritual intelligence."
"That is why our Dharma Treasure race was also born in this Void."
"Then, after billions of years of development, our Dharma Treasure race also resounded throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds, famously mastering unparalleled power; even in the Immortal World, we are a massive race, sufficient to awe the Immortal World."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace spoke of the origins of the Dharma Treasure race with complete indifference.
After all, such matters had long since spread throughout many Great Thousand Worlds.
It even revealed this information to intimidate this Human Cultivator, letting this Human Cultivator know that its own origins were extraordinary.
In this way, the other party would not act rashly, knowing its preciousness.
"The Dharma Treasure race is so powerful, have you not been targeted by enemies?"
"After all, your Dharma Treasure race can be refined by others."
Xu Wenze asked with great curiosity.
"It seems you also know that the world is dangerous; my Dharma Treasure race possesses powerful strength, so naturally, we will also be coveted by enemies."
"I do not know how many enemies want to enslave our Dharma Treasure race, hoping we become their slaves, to be driven at will."
"Unfortunately, is our Dharma Treasure race so easily provoked?"
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace sneered.
"Could it be that the Dharma Treasure race possesses the power to resist the major worlds?"
Xu Wenze asked curiously.
"Is this not a matter of course?"
"Our Magic Treasure Great World can give birth to one Immortal Artifact after another, capable of unleashing power comparable to a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator."
"Ordinary races coming to find trouble with our Magic Treasure Great World are purely seeking their own deaths."
"Of course, if it were only this, it would be completely insufficient."
"After all, there are simply too many enemies eyeing our Dharma Treasure race."
"If these enemies were to unite, our Dharma Treasure race naturally could not be their match,"
"So our Dharma Treasure race also changed its strategy, uniting other worlds and other races."
"Our Dharma Treasure race will also sign equal contracts with major Cultivators, letting Alien Cultivators master our power."
"The power unleashed this way is not as simple as one plus one."
"It is precisely because of this that our Dharma Treasure race has formed alliances with various races and major worlds, which has also caused our power to further expand, and other worlds no longer dare to covet the power of our Dharma Treasure race."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said in a deep voice.
Clearly, the Dharma Treasure race also understands the way of vertical and horizontal alliances.
To want to stay out of trouble is basically an impossible thing.
One must form vertical and horizontal alliances, making friends with all races and becoming allies, in order to survive in a dangerous world.
Although being enslaved by other Alien Cultivators is simply a humiliation for the Dharma Treasure race.
But if an equal contract is signed, each taking what they need, then that is not necessarily unacceptable.
This is also a rule recognized by many Dharma Treasures.
"Since the Dharma Treasure race is so powerful, then why have you fallen to this state?"
Xu Wenze blinked his eyes; he was very curious why the dignified Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace had become like this.
"As for that, it is naturally caused by the enemies of our Magic Treasure Great World."
"Although the Magic Treasure Great World is indeed ranked in the top ten, there are worlds even more powerful than us."
"Especially the top three Great Thousand Worlds, which are shockingly tyrannical."
"The number of Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators in other Great Thousand Worlds is still quite rare; a few hundred or a thousand Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators would be considered quite good, but the top three Great Thousand Worlds? They actually have tens of thousands; the two sides are simply not on the same level."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said with great helplessness.
"What world could actually rank in the top three and be even more powerful than the Magic Treasure Great World?"
Xu Wenze became increasingly curious.
"The third-ranked is the True Spirit World; this is a super world where True Spirits are everywhere, filled with True Spirit Race members, giving birth to a large number of top-tier powerhouses."
"The second-ranked is the Prison Demon World; this world is inhabited by a large number of Heavenly Demons, True Demons, and various creatures of Diyu, who are addicted to slaughter and possess extraordinary combat power, often invading other worlds; the major worlds suffer greatly from them."
"The first-ranked is the Earth Immortal World; this is the strongest of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, also hailed as the Great Thousand World closest to the Immortal World, a flawed version of the Immortal World, hence it is called the Earth Immortal World."
This world is permeated with dense Immortal Source Qi and seems to communicate with the Immortal World; Reincarnated Immortals often appear in this world, which also leads to this world producing powerhouses in succession.
Sometimes one even encounters Immortals descending to the mortal realm, and legends often appear of Immortals being surrounded and killed in this world; in short, the foundation of this world is simply unfathomable."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said very solemnly.
It stated that these three worlds have been the top three Great Thousand Worlds since ancient times, and the rankings have never changed.
Compared to other Great Thousand Worlds, these three are simply not on the same grade; the difference is too great.
Even if many Great Thousand Worlds were bundled together, they would not be the match of these three worlds.
After all, these three worlds—one has True Spirits, one has True Demons, and one has Reincarnated Immortals—in short, they have deep connections with the Immortal World and have inherited much of the Immortal World's power.
No matter how hard other worlds try, they cannot compare to them.
In fact, every top-ranked Great Thousand World has deep connections with the Immortal World.
"Could it be that the one who dealt with you was the Prison Demon World?"
Xu Wenze could not help but say.
"That is correct."
"It was indeed a True Demon from the Prison Demon World who made a move against me."
"At that time, I was planning to return to the Magic Treasure Great World."
"Who knew a True Demon would strike from the shadows, wanting to seize me and forcibly refine me."
"Naturally, I would not agree to such a thing, and I engaged in a great battle with it."
"As a result, after a fierce battle, I was completely no match for it."
"In the end, I could only use my trump card, tear through the Void, and escape calmly."
"I also don't know how long I wandered through the Void, before finally falling into this world."
"Then I was picked up by you, and signed a contract with you."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said with great helplessness.
It felt that it had simply suffered an unprovoked disaster, actually being targeted by a True Demon.
Even though it was an Immortal Artifact, it was completely no match for a True Demon.
After the battle between the two sides, it was simply a crushing defeat, and it could only flee in a sorry state.
However, fortunately, it still survived, and it still had a chance to make a comeback.
"So that's how it is; the shooting star I saw above the back mountain when I was a child, was it actually you?"
Xu Wenze suddenly realized.
He instantly understood when he had encountered this Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace; it turned out to be a fortuitous encounter from his childhood.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of this Immortal Artifact that he, a plain and unremarkable village boy, had the opportunity to join the Xuanhuang Sect; otherwise, given his talent, it would have been impossible for him to become a Xuanhuang Sect Disciple no matter what.
"That's right, it was indeed me."
The Great Evolution God Furnace nodded, also admitting this point.
The reason it signed a contract with Xu Wenze was because Xu Wenze's constitution was special; he possessed a Molten Gold Body.
For a Dharma Treasure, this was simply the best constitution.
If one could sign a contract with him, there would also be immense benefits.
Of course, if it were in its prime, it would naturally have looked down upon it with disdain.
But now it was no longer like that; a dragon stranded in the shallows is teased by shrimp, and a phoenix fallen into the water is worse than a chicken.
Being able to find a suitable contractor to maintain its life was already quite good.
"Alright, since that's the case, then what exactly was your purpose in signing a contract with me?"
Xu Wenze said in a deep voice.
He also immediately set his mind at ease, wanting to know the other party's goal.
"It's very simple; naturally, it is to survive, and also to recover from the injuries on my body."
"However, this world is dominated by the Human Race, and it is not the Magic Treasure Great World."
"If my true form were exposed, I would definitely be enslaved by other Cultivators."
"So it is better to find a helper to assist me in surviving in this world."
"I need you to help me buy many, many materials to help me recover from the injuries on my body."
"Of course, I will also help you cultivate and step into higher realms."
"You are only a Cultivator with a Superior Spiritual Root, right?"
"Normally speaking, in this lifetime, Nascent Soul might be your limit."
"But with my help, I dare not say you will become a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator, but at the very least, becoming a Refining Void, or even an Integration, is not a particularly big problem."
The Immortal Artifact Great Evolution God Furnace said proudly.
