Chapter 640: Another Volume of the Heavenly Book, Completing the Only-Me Dao

~9 min read 1,606 words

After a long while, their lips parted.

Yu Liancheng tidied Xiaobai's hair, then took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe the fragrant sweat from her forehead, and only then did he rise and say, "Good night."

After he closed the room door, Xiaobai's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes slowly opened, her pretty face flushed pink, and the charm between her brows became even more alluring; she was truly a bewitching creature who could topple empires.

"Stinky brat, you're really no good."

A near-whispered murmur, her pearly teeth lightly biting her cherry lips, though she bit very gently, her beautiful eyes shifting as if lost in thought. Gradually, drowsiness welled up, and she finally sank into a deep sleep.

Yu Liancheng left the room and looked up at the sky, seeing the crescent moon rising and the starlight dim; night had already fallen.

Too lazy to find Tumagu to look for another room, he flicked his sleeve, swept away the dust at his feet, and sat cross-legged right outside the door.

He closed his eyes, and an invisible wall of Qi expanded, forming a Protective Qi Cover that enveloped his entire body.

Immediately following, a phantom figure flew out from Yu Liancheng's shell, its appearance identical to his own, only more ethereal and agile; it was precisely Yu Liancheng's 'Guicang Primordial Spirit'.

The Primordial Spirit looked back at the physical body; that Protective Qi Cover could withstand almost any attack in heaven or on earth, and once the cover was attacked, his Primordial Spirit would also sense it. The Myriad Ways of Ultimate Nothingness, hanging at Yu Liancheng's waist acting as a jade pendant, would then erupt with ten thousand Sword Qi, tearing the intruder to shreds; it could be said to be foolproof, so there was no need to worry about the safety of his physical body.

Having thought this, Yu Liancheng's Primordial Spirit transformed into a ray of escaping light, mysterious and unfathomable, ethereal and vague, entering the nine heavens and traversing the ten lands.

Wherever his God-like consciousness, vast as a heavenly river, reached, the area within a radius of several dozen miles centered on the escaping light would be seen in its entirety, with no fear of any omissions.

At the same time, the 'Xuanji Dao' began its calculations, and what it was calculating was the last shamaness of the Miao tribe, Linglong.

In the state of a Primordial Spirit, both flight speed and deduction were stronger than when constrained by a physical body.

Very quickly, he captured a trace of a mysterious aura and immediately flew rapidly toward a certain direction within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Passing through a black forest and crossing seven treacherous mountain ranges, he arrived at a high mountain surrounded by black mist all year round, with yin winds howling.

There was not a single tree or blade of grass on this high mountain; it seemed like a gloomy land of death, yet it unexpectedly had a large cave.

The cave entrance was three zhang high and five zhang wide, with yin winds howling out of it all year round, mixed with sharp sounds, as if vengeful spirits and evil ghosts were circling within, wailing and roaring without end.

Right in the center of the cave entrance stood a stone statue, life-sized, of an extremely beautiful Miao woman; it was carved so vividly that even the hair and the folds of her clothing were clearly visible.

The stone statue stood silently in the depths of the Demon Suppressing Cave.

The cold wind, howling all year round, blew incessantly against the stone statue, emitting a low sound, like a piece of wood that appeared fragile but could shield against wind and rain amidst a raging storm.

"Linglong."

Yu Liancheng murmured.

This stone statue was exactly what the last shamaness, Linglong, had left behind.

The ancient "Heavenly Crying Scripture" appeared between Yu Liancheng's brows, blooming with an ancient and profound light that enveloped the Linglong stone statue.

The 'Heavenly Crying' was tracking the aura on this statue and tracing Linglong's past life through that aura.

This was clearly not an easy task; Yu Liancheng injected a continuous stream of God-like consciousness into it to assist the Heavenly Crying Scripture in its deduction.

"Roar!

"

Inside the cave entrance, the howling sound, like that of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts, became even more shrill, exploding, roaring, and shrieking in Yu Liancheng's ears, vaguely filled with anger, as if it wanted to swallow him alive.

Let alone ordinary people, even cultivators with established cultivation would likely feel their whole bodies turn cold and their hearts tremble upon hearing this sound.

Yu Liancheng turned his head and saw the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Array inside the Demon Suppressing Cave, saw a skeleton, and also saw that mass of fierce, malevolent aura possessing intelligence upon the skeleton.

This malevolent aura was so vast, as if it were the convergence of countless resentful and malevolent thoughts in heaven and earth. Just one look could twist a person's mind and spirit, turning them into a being that only knew how to kill.

"Hey, stop howling."

Yu Liancheng said calmly, "You can't even walk out of this Demon Suppressing Cave right now; wait until you become a human before you talk."

The roaring and shrieking sound became even more intense, and the overwhelming malevolent aura surged like a tide, as if it were about to rush out of the cave.

"Boring." Yu Liancheng had already withdrawn his gaze. Back then, the Southern Border shamaness Linglong, in order to seek immortality, created the Beast God with eternal, inextinguishable malevolent aura. But the Beast God was formed from malevolent aura, and its nature was killing; its birth was destined to bring disaster to the world and cause suffering to billions of living beings.

Although Linglong liked the Beast God, she absolutely would not allow this to happen, so she kept hunting the Beast God and finally trapped it in the Demon Suppressing Cave with the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Array.

Only because the Beast God was not a creature of flesh and blood could it only be trapped, not truly extinguished or killed, and it had survived to this day.

And the Beast God's wish was to become human, so Linglong used her own flesh, blood, and bones to build a body for him, but it still lacked the opportunity and time, and it remained a mass of malevolent aura.

This was also the reason why Yu Liancheng did not make a move against the Beast God.

The Beast God had no true body; as long as malevolent aura existed, the Beast God would be immortal and indestructible.

Even if he could really kill it, it would consume an unknown amount of time and energy, so it was better to wait until it recovered its flesh and blood body.

Regardless of how the Beast God roared and shrieked, Yu Liancheng focused on the Heavenly Crying Scripture, pouring his God-like consciousness into it like a heavenly river; countless images flashed through his mind, and he was gradually able to trace the scenes of the shamaness Linglong's life.

As time passed, the traced scenes became more and more numerous, and Yu Liancheng finally found the scenes related to the Heavenly Book.

It was not until the sky brightened that Yu Liancheng gently exhaled a breath.

"Sure enough, Linglong also cultivated a volume of the Heavenly Book. In this world, the Heavenly Book is the true source of all laws." A thoughtful look appeared between Yu Liancheng's brows; this volume of the Heavenly Book was of great benefit to him, completing his "Only-Me Dao". If he added the Heavenly Book from the Qingyun Sect, then his Gui Cang Nine Paths would truly be perfected.

"When you are resurrected, I will come to kill you."

Yu Liancheng turned his head, took one last look at the Demon Suppressing Cave, and sneered. His Primordial Spirit transformed into a ray of escaping light once more and disappeared, leaving only that roaring sound echoing in the Demon Suppressing Cave for a long time.

In Qilidong, Yu Liancheng's Primordial Spirit returned to his physical body, and the Heavenly Book circulated in his mind.

Before long, the room opened, and Xiaobai, just awakened from her lazy sleep, stretched with a languid posture, extremely charming, and the waves rising and falling on her chest were even more breathtaking.

"How did you sleep last night?" Yu Liancheng unreservedly admired Xiaobai's voluptuous figure.

"Not so great." Xiaobai's pretty face flushed, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I had a dream, I dreamt I was bitten by a little white dog."

Yu Liancheng laughed: "Then you have to be careful, maybe it will bite you again tonight."

Xiaobai snorted coldly: "Careful I don't chop it up and eat dog meat."

"We should go." Yu Liancheng stood up.

"Go where?" Xiaobai was slightly startled.

"The wine has been drunk, so of course we are going back." Yu Liancheng smiled slightly: "By the way, do you want to take revenge on Shangguan Ce?"

Xiaobai gritted her teeth and said: "How could I not?!"

Yu Liancheng smiled slightly: "Good, then we will go take revenge first."

However, Yu Liancheng still did not leave immediately; he had the Miao find a blank scroll, wrote the four large characters "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin" upon it, and finally handed it to Patriarch Tumagu, warning him that he could open this scroll only in the event of a crisis of annihilation.
