Chapter 137

Naturally, Zhao Gongming and the others were very greedy for the treasures on the shelves, but upon seeing the exchange points above, they had no thoughts at all.

Those were hundreds of thousands of exchange points at every turn.

I fear only Saints, or those ancient Quasi-Saint powerhouses, might have such accumulations.

Anyway, they did not.

Otherwise, Zhao Gongming and the Three Fairies would not have snatched the Bodhisattvas' collections.

Likewise, Zhao Gongming and the others did not lose their minds, for example, by snatching the treasures on the shelves.

If they didn't want to die.

"Wudang, the teacher said that if the exchange points are not enough, the books in the grocery store might bring us help," the Holy Mother Jin Ling said to Wudang.

Looking at it this way, there were too many good things in the grocery store.

The Holy Mother Jin Ling wanted every good thing, but unfortunately, the exchange points in her hand were not enough.

As for those with enough exchange points, they didn't attract her.

After all, for the Holy Mother Jin Ling at the Quasi-Saint realm, ordinary things could not attract her.

So the Holy Mother Jin Ling thought of what her teacher, Tongtian Jiaozhu, had said before: the books in the grocery store might have unexpected surprises.

This was also the idea generated by Tongtian Jiaozhu after obtaining the Gate of Eternal Life from the book *Eternal Life*.

That Gate of Eternal Life, even for Tongtian Jiaozhu, was a rare treasure.

It could even be said that in this Primordial World, it was simply impossible to obtain such a treasure.

A treasure containing the three thousand Great Daos.

Although it was different from the three thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World, it could also improve Tongtian's comprehension of Great Dao Laws.

"Books." The Holy Mother Wudang nodded. "I understand; then I will look for books to read."

"Good." The Holy Mother Jin Ling nodded and also walked on the shelf where the books were placed.

*Eternal Life*, *Star River Emperor*, *Yang God*, *Shrouding the Heavens*...

The names of books appeared before her eyes one by one.

For some reason, one book attracted her.

*Shrouding the Heavens*.

"This book it is." The Holy Mother Jin Ling did not hesitate and placed her hand on this book.

In the grocery store.

The Holy Mother Jin Ling held the book *Shrouding the Heavens* in her hand.

"*Shrouding the Heavens*, let me see, what will the content inside be?" The Holy Mother Jin Ling started to flip through this book.

The modern world that appeared at the beginning made Jin Ling feel somewhat strange.

Such a world was very different from the current Journey to the West.

Cars, airplanes, etc. —those were things she had never seen.

It was just that this didn't count for much; with the Holy Mother Jin Ling's great divine powers, she could also create such products out of thin air.

A Quasi-Saint powerhouse could already open up small worlds one by one.

The trajectory of world development and the powerhouses who created the world could all be controlled.

Immediately after, the Holy Mother Jin Ling saw the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin; such a scene indeed caused astonishing shock to the people of that world.

Even the Holy Mother Jin Ling was somewhat surprised.

The Dragon tribe, in the past, was the protagonist of an era; at that time, Jin Ling had not even transformed.

It was just that the current Dragon tribe could not be compared to the Dragon tribe of the past.

The Dragon tribe, sealed by the Heaven Realm as the Four Seas Dragon Kings, I fear their strength was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Otherwise, when Sun Wukong came to the door, how could the Long Wang report to the Heaven Realm? He would have solved it himself long ago.

It could only be said that the times were changing.

Even their Jie Sect, before the Investiture of the Gods, had the title of "Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to Court."

And until now, the sect known as the Jie Sect was known by very few in this world—only those immortals who had experienced the Investiture of the Gods Kalpa.

Like the humans in the mortal world, they had long since not known what the Jie Sect was.

Just like that, the Holy Mother Jin Ling was immersed in the story of *Shrouding the Heavens*.

Gradually, a magnificent world unfolded before the Holy Mother Jin Ling's eyes.

Inside, there were moving stories, and the human race was fighting against countless myriad races to obtain a glimmer of survival in this world.

"The human race? They are truly tenacious." The Holy Mother Jin Ling said softly.

As a personal disciple of the Jie Sect, the Holy Mother Jin Ling could be considered to have seen the rise of the human race.

During the Witch and Demon period, the human race lived completely in the cracks and even became food for the Demon tribe; in the end, the Demon tribe even slaughtered countless humans to refine the so-called Witch-Slaughtering Sword.

If it weren't for the Saint Nuwa, the human race would likely have been exterminated under that slaughter.

Yet even so, the human race, in such a harsh environment, constantly branched out, and powerhouses were constant.

Finally, after the Battle of the Witches and Demons ended.

Among the countless species and living beings in the Primordial World, the human race unexpectedly rose.

The Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, the Earthly Emperor Shennong, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan—one human powerhouse after another rose, leading the human race to where it was today.

However, the human race being able to become the protagonist of the Primordial World also had something to do with Heavenly Dao to a certain extent.

This era was an era belonging to the human race.

Countless Saints placed their hope on the human race, which also led to the human race being able to walk to where it was today.

One must know that even with the current strength of the human race, it could not be compared to the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes of the past, or even the Witch and Demon tribes.

How could it become the protagonist of the Primordial World?

But with a few Saints present, the result was different.

And in the story of the *Shrouding the Heavens* world, that world had no Heavenly Dao existence; it was all fought for by the human race itself.

Many times, the human race was almost exterminated, but at those times, there would always be powerhouses standing up, unfolding a moving story.

It was precisely because of this.

The Holy Mother Jin Ling, looking at the human race in the story of *Shrouding the Heavens*, would sigh with such emotion.

Continuing to immerse herself in this story, the Holy Mother Jin Ling was attracted by a character in the story—the mortal known as the Ruthless Great Emperor.

In that world, the traces of the Ruthless One appeared very little, but legends about her always existed.

Later, some situations regarding the Ruthless Great Emperor were also described.

Originally, she was just an ordinary human; because her brother was taken away, she had been working hard to find her brother.

Even the news of her brother's death did not make the Ruthless Great Emperor give up.

Because she believed that there was reincarnation in that world.

"Reincarnation." The Holy Mother Jin Ling shook her head. "The reincarnation of that *Shrouding the Heavens* world is hard to say, but in the Journey to the West world, there is reincarnation, and there is also the afterlife and the present life."

The existence of the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation was an order of the Journey to the West world.

After people die, there is an afterlife.

Even after we, as immortals and gods, die, it is the same.

This was the Six Paths of Reincarnation opened up by Houtu, one of the Ancestral Witches.

That was a rule of heaven and earth.

The great merit rewarded by heaven and earth at that time also allowed Houtu to attain sainthood, although such a Saint was still slightly incomplete.

Half an hour later.

A ray of light flashed in the Holy Mother Jin Ling's hand, and the book *Shrouding the Heavens* returned to the shelf.

The Holy Mother Jin Ling's few thousand points were spent; although the story of *Shrouding the Heavens* had not been finished, she had seen enough of the story about the Ruthless Great Emperor.

So the Holy Mother Jin Ling did not have much regret; at most, she would spend some exchange points later to finish this story.

"Attaining such strength with a mortal body, I am truly impressed," the Holy Mother Jin Ling said.

However, towards this, the Holy Mother Jin Ling could only sigh; she could not substitute herself into it.

This was also because her talent was very astonishing, not like the Ruthless Great Emperor, who was just an ordinary mortal at the beginning.

Otherwise, how could she have been accepted as a personal disciple by Tongtian Jiaozhu?

"But what about the opportunity the teacher spoke of?" The Holy Mother Jin Ling was somewhat confused.

After finishing the story of *Shrouding the Heavens*, she felt the magic of that world, but after finishing it, Jin Ling now discovered that she had not found the so-called opportunity.

On the other side, Wudang, Zhao Gongming, the Three Fairies, and others had also finished reading.

"Are you all done?" The Holy Mother Jin Ling looked at them and asked. ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
