Jiao Jiao took out the book in her hand. She hadn't read it since she got it. Looking at the book in her hand, her eyebrows seemed to be full of worry.
She thought to herself, Li Zhengdao is definitely up to no good by giving us this thing. He might even want to drive a wedge between the Three Pure Daoist Sect and Zhou Bai. But if I don't read it …
Jiao Jiao wouldn't be satisfied if she didn't read it. Because the Tendo was twisted, her inheritance of the Three Pure Daoist Sect was incomplete, and she didn't know many secrets of the sect. This made her very curious about the content of the book in her hand, especially thinking about whether it could help with the current situation.
Sensing that Jiao Jiao seemed to be hesitant about reading the book given by Li Zhengdao, Zhou Bai thought for a while and first looked at the Mystic Fairy.
After all, the Mystic Fairy was tricked by him all the way here. Any information that Zhou Bai couldn't confirm in advance could lead to conflict between him and the Mystic Fairy.
Worried that there would be unnecessary trouble after reading the book, Zhou Bai decided to send the Mystic Fairy away.
"You go out and guard for us. Donghua City may send people to search here. Don't let anyone in."
The Mystic Fairy, who was reading the book expectantly, was slightly stunned and pouted. Obviously, she was not satisfied with this arrangement. She couldn't help but say, "This is the bottom of the forbidden land, and there is no way to get here. Will someone search here?"
She protested, "I don't want to go. I want to stay here and read this book with you."
Zhou Bai said with a straight face, "We are fighting against the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court is full of masters and has an unfathomable foundation. We must be 100% cautious at all times. We can't make any mistakes. "
The Empyrean Maiden felt rather aggrieved. She really wanted to stay here and read the tome which contained the great secrets of the Daoist Sect of the Three Purities. Now that she had been chased away, she felt as though she were far away from the core of Zhou Bai's group.
Seeing the change in Mystic Fairy's expression, Zhou Bai transmitted his voice again and said in a gentle voice, "Mystic Fairy, the Celestial Court is very strong and has always been sinister and ruthless.
Maybe while we are talking, they have already sent more immortals to Dong Hua City to find us and take revenge on us. So, we have to be careful at all times and can't let our guard down. "
"After all, in this world, only the two of us are truly intelligent aberrations. Jiao Jiao can only be considered half of one at most."
Hearing Zhou Bai's words, the Empyrean Maiden's shoulders trembled. She seemed to think that Zhou Bai was right, and the dissatisfaction and grievance on her face disappeared.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, The Empyrean Maiden likes this kind of trick. I have basically figured out all of her personalities and characteristics. It's easy to coax her.
Cristina sneered in the Ocean of Consciousness. "Ai Sha, look, this is what men are like. Remember, don't trust men casually in the future because men are the best at lying. The uglier they are, the better they are at lying."
Ai Sha asked curiously, "Sister Tina, do you know men very well?"
Cristina, who had no memory of love and was still just a cat, said, "According to my experience of controlling Zhou Bai's body and communicating with others for a long time, men are creatures that are influenced by their own bodies most of the day. Sometimes they can't even control themselves and lie to women."
Zhou Bai said in the Ocean of Consciousness, "Stop talking. It's affecting my performance."
In the physical world, Zhou Bai rubbed the Empyrean Maiden's head and said, "Empyrean Maiden, you are the person I trust the most. That's why I asked you to protect me. My life is in your hands. "
The Empyrean Maiden's face showed a trace of self-blame. She felt that she had been too willful.
She lowered her head and looked at her toes. "Zhou Bai, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper." She couldn't help but grab the corner of Zhou Bai's clothes. "Don't be angry with me, okay?"
Zhou Bai smiled. "Why would I be angry with you? You are the only one of my kind in this world. If you want to know what's in the book, I'll tell you after I read it."
After saying that, he patted the Empyrean Maiden's shoulder. "Go and guard this side for me."
The Empyrean Maiden nodded seriously. She turned around and entered the state of nothingness. Her whole body passed through the distorted flesh and went to the outside world.
Jiao Jiao, who was at the side, watched this scene from the beginning to the end. Her expression was extremely complicated. Her feelings towards this great-great-granddaughter of hers who had been distorted were really a little complicated.
Just then, Zhou Bai said, "Let's take a look at what Li Zhengdao has given us."
Jiao Jiao was ultimately a female cultivator who prioritized humans and the sect's career. Hearing that, she also focused her attention on the book.
She formed seals with her hands, and layers of primordial spirit power turned into different runes, wrapping around the book.
After taking a series of protective measures, she and Zhou Bai flipped open the book together.
At the instant they opened it, an elderly voice rang out from within.
"I'm Qing Yunzi. All disciples of my Daoist Sect of Three Purities are not allowed to open this book. Retreat quickly … Retreat quickly … Retreat quickly …"
Hearing this language, Zhou Bai and Jiao Jiao looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Jiao Jiao frowned, feeling a little hesitant for a moment. She did not know if she should continue reading.
After all, Zhou Bai was not a traditional cultivator, and he did not have the knowledge and burden of being a disciple of the Daoist Sect of Three Purities like Jiao Jiao. He said directly, "This is all given to us by Li Zhengdao. I don't know how many people have seen this thing. Moreover, it's been so long. There's no point in me reading this message anymore. Let's continue reading."
Jiao Jiao thought about it and agreed with him. Moreover, now that things had come to this, the Tendo had become distorted, and the Celestial Court had undergone a huge change. These circumstances were probably completely out of Qing Yunzi's expectations. Therefore, his warning was probably not timely anymore.
The two of them continued reading, and saw lines of themselves floating out from the book, floating into the air.
"Ever since I was born, there's been a voice whispering words in my ears that I don't understand …"
"I've always been thinking … What does that voice mean … What does it mean …"
…
Qing Yunzi was first discovered in the White Bone Cult. This demonic sect specialized in refining all sorts of puppets, zombies, and baleful soldiers. They loved to search for all sorts of abandoned cave abodes in the past and dig up the corpses of their predecessors to refine puppets and zombies.
Qing Yunzi did not know where his hometown was. He only knew that he had been captured by the people of the White Bone Cult and was raised as a spiritual child since he was young.
Spiritual children sounded like a pretty good name, but in reality, it was an extremely cruel method of human refinement.
From the moment spiritual children could understand anything, they would be trained with extremely cruel punishments. If they disobeyed in the slightest, they would be beaten to death.
Absolute pain was used to grind away the spiritual child's will as a human. Then, they would be given all sorts of poisonous drugs to eliminate the spiritual child's emotions and desires. The final goal was to refine the spiritual child into a living zombie.
With such a cruel method of human refinement, there might not even be one out of a hundred spiritual children who could complete all the nurturing.
Qing Yunzi was unwilling to resign himself to his fate, but he was weak. Therefore, he tried his best to perform himself in the beginning, hoping to attract the attention of the White Bone Cult's disciples and escape the fate of being a spiritual child.
Unfortunately, although Qing Yunzi's performance had indeed attracted the attention of the White Bone Cult's disciples, what awaited him was even harsher punishments.
…
"Elder, this kid's willpower is really strong. It's already three times the dosage, but he's still able to endure it."
"This kid's intelligence and willpower clearly surpass that of ordinary kids. If we nurture him well, there's a very high chance that he'll be refined into a living zombie."
"It's just that his mind is too flexible. We have to properly grind away his emotions."
A child of about five years old was soaking in a transparent medicinal pot. The child's eyes were wide open, and he looked at the crowd outside the pot with a numb expression.
"White Bone Sect … All of you, just you wait … One day, I will kill all of you … Kill all of you … Kill all of you …"
"Oh?" A white-bearded old man looked at the situation in the pot with a benevolent expression. "He still has emotional reactions. Very good. Continue to increase the dosage. He's really a great talent. I'll personally administer the acupuncture later."
Not long later, miserable cries rang out from the medicinal pot.
…
Boom!
Bolts of lightning and blazing flames descended from the sky, burning the White Bone Cult's disciples in the valley into charcoal.
Daoists dressed in purple Daoist robes were casting lightning arts to destroy the White Bone Cult's stronghold before them.
An old man with a simple and unadorned face released streams of Essence Soul power to sweep through the valley, as though he was searching for any survivors.
Moments later, his gaze narrowed as he opened a cellar. When he saw the rows of medicinal pots and the young children within, he revealed a furious expression.
However, when the White Bone Cult's disciples learned that their stronghold had fallen, they activated the mechanism in advance to prevent their sect's dao arts from being leaked. They planned to destroy all the corpses and all the spirit children.
The old man looked at the young children in the medicinal pots who had already lost their breath and sighed deeply.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
The old man turned his head and saw a small palm pressing on the transparent inner wall of the medicinal pot. A pair of black eyes were staring at him.
The old man hurriedly opened the medicinal pot and carried the child in front of him. He consoled, "I'm Tian Xinzi from the Righteous Dao Palace. We're here to save you. Everything's fine now."
…
20 years later, in the Pure Yang Hall of the Righteous Dao Palace.
A young man knelt on the ground with a cold expression. There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
An old voice came from the depths of the hall, "Qingyun Zi, the Righteous Dao Palace has been passed down for 3,000 years. What are the generations of cultivators cultivating for?"
The young man said loudly, "To slay demons and restore order to the country."
"When you go down the mountain, remember what you've said now."
Looking at the young man's back as he left, Tian Xinzi, who had brought Qingyun Zi up the mountain 20 years ago, smiled and said, "Time really flies. In 20 years, Qingyun Zi has already mastered the Five Thunders Execution. Now, the Five Qis Collecting in Mind, the Three Flowers at One's Prominence, and the Yang Spirit has reached the Advanced Level. He is only one step away from ascending to the Heavenly Court.
Tian Xinzi continued, "Qingyun Zi is precocious and has been mature and steady since he was young. Moreover, because he was harmed by the Bone Cult when he was young, he hates evil and cares about the world. I think he's the best candidate for the next sect leader. He can be taught the Ninth Heaven Devil Thunder Technique. Does anyone have any objections?"
Beside Tian Xinzi, the dignified old man said, "After all, Qingyun Zi is from the Devil Cult and has been practicing evil since he was young. We have to be careful when dealing with him. The Ninth Heaven Devil Thunder Technique is the supreme technique of the Righteous Dao Palace. It can't be taught easily."
…
After Qingyun Zi went down the mountain, he killed demons and wiped out evil. With his peerless cultivation, he quickly became famous.
The Bone Cult, which he hated the most, was defeated by him. They tried their best to hide and almost disappeared.
After killing the eight elders of the Bone Cult, Qingyun Zi's name spread all over the world. He was regarded as the person most likely to ascend to immortality.
However, Qingyun Zi didn't seem to care about this fame. He didn't return to the Righteous Dao Palace, nor did he cultivate the Dao of Ascension. Instead, he traveled the world for decades, killing demons and devils day after day, year after year.
Even when the Righteous Dao Palace specially asked him to return to the mountain, he ignored it and continued to travel the world on his own.
Someone asked Qingyun Zi why he didn't return to the Righteous Dao Palace.
Qingyun Zi said that he had lost something and he had to find it.
Someone asked him what he had lost.
Qingyun Zi said that he had forgotten.
After a long time, everyone thought that Qingyun Zi had gone crazy.
Some said that he was eager to ascend but couldn't find the right method. Then, he cultivated Qi Deviation and became crazy.
Some said that the Righteous Dao Palace didn't agree to Qingyun Zi becoming the next sect leader. Qingyun Zi left the Righteous Dao Palace in anger, becoming more and more resentful and unreasonable.
Some said that Qingyun Zi was looking for a Dao scripture left behind by an ancient immortal and wanted to comprehend the immortal's Dao in order to ascend.
…
"Haha, Qingyun Zi! The Righteous Dao Palace has removed you! Today, a total of six Yang Spirit masters from the White Bone Sect, the Blood River Sect, the Hehuan Sect, and the Mental Demon Sect will surround you. No one will come to save you. "
Looking at the sky full of demons and the sea of blood, Qingyun Zi murmured, "Can you hear that voice in your ears?"
The few experts in the sky looked at each other in dismay. They only felt that the Qingyun Zi in front of them was crazy.
"Qingyun Zi killed many disciples of our Demon Sect. Today, we must capture him."
The wind howled and thunder split the sky. Qingyun Zi fought the six Yang Spirit masters of the Demon Sect alone for seven days and nights. Finally, he killed Tian Lianzi of the White Bone Sect and Zizai Taoist of the Mental Demon Sect.
However, Qingyun Zi himself didn't know where he was. Some said that he died at the hands of the Demon Sect, while others said that he was captured by the Demon Sect and interrogated about the Dao techniques of the Righteous Dao Palace.
…
Meow, meow!
Meow, meow!
Qingyun Zi felt a heart-wrenching pain all over his body. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a group of cat heads looking at him.
Seeing that Qingyun Zi had woken up, all the cat heads immediately fled in all directions. Then, they carefully stretched out their heads and looked at Qingyun Zi curiously.
A girl with cat ears looked at Qingyun Zi, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Are you Qingyun Zi?"
Qingyun Zi's expression changed when he saw this. His vigilance against demons made him immediately activate the Thunder Technique.
Lightning surged on his body, and then he felt a sharp pain in his mind. His entire body was already twitching.
The cat girl curled her lips and said, "Do you think I want to save you? Humans and demons are irreconcilable. If you hadn't let Xiu Niang's family go, I wouldn't have bothered to save you. "
After listening to the cat girl's explanation, Qingyun Zi understood that when he had gone to kill demons, he had let go of a nest of cat demons who had not harmed anyone and had yet to transform. They seemed to be from the same clan, which was why he had been seriously injured.
At this moment, the voices of the elders seemed to ring in his mind again.
"Qingyun Zi, our Righteous Dao Palace has been passed down for 3,000 years. Why have generations of cultivators cultivated?"
In today's world, humans and demons had been irreconcilable since ancient times.
The human race's Dao techniques were flourishing. Although the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court had not set foot in the mortal world for a long time, they had suppressed the demons to the point where they could only retreat into the mountains. Most of them lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
The strength of the demons was also declining with each generation. After years of demon-slaying by the various sects, they were almost at death's door.
Qingyun Zi knew that if there was an internal conflict between the human race's righteous sects and the demonic sects, then dealing with demons would be an endless racial rivalry. In the past Great War between humans and demons, countless humans had died at the hands of demons. There was a deep feud between the two sides.
Furthermore, the cultivators of the various sects looked down on demons who only cultivated based on their instincts.
Seeing that demons had saved him, Qingyun Zi tried his best to stand up. He tore off the ointment on his body and walked out of the cave. "Demons! You've saved me this time. I'll pretend that I never saw you. The next time I see you, I'll definitely kill you … "
With a plop, the cat girl looked at Qingyun Zi, who had fainted on the ground. She curled her lips and said, "You'll definitely kill him? He can't even stand properly. Why did you kill him?"
As she spoke, the cat girl looked at the kittens around her and waved her hand. "Drag him back to the bed to pee."
…
When he woke up again and carefully examined himself, Qingyun Zi realized how serious his injuries were. The Yang Spirit that he had painstakingly cultivated was almost scattered. His sea of consciousness was in chaos, and he could not use his Taoist techniques.
What was worse was that his consciousness had been severely damaged, as well as the secondary damage caused by the forceful activation of Dao techniques the last time he woke up.
These directly affected the connection between his brain and body, making it difficult for him to move as if he was disabled.
"My cultivation has basically been crippled."
Qing Yun Zi sighed and laid on the bed just like that. His eyes seemed to be filled with a dazed look.
Suddenly, a kitten climbed onto his chest, stepped on his chest, and looked at him with a curious expression.
Qingyun Zi frowned slightly, and the kitten immediately jumped out in fear, but soon forgot about this and played with the other kittens.
In the following days, Qingyun Zi, who was almost unable to move, stayed here and watched the cat demons take care of him and treat him.
These cat demons also seemed to have their own trading channels. Qingyun Zi watched them go out early and return late all day long. It seemed that they were using the resources collected in the wild to exchange for various medicinal pills to treat his injuries.
However, his injury came from his consciousness sea, and the injury to his consciousness sea was not something that the cat demons could cure at all.
After discovering that Qingyun Zi's physical injuries had healed, but he still couldn't move freely, the cat demons all had a headache.
The cat girl held her head, and her pair of cat ears drooped down. She said with a distressed expression, "Why can't you pee? I've used a lot of good medicine to treat you. "
Qingyun Zi said indifferently, "My primordial spirit has dissipated, and I've lost all my cultivation. My brain and body are also disconnected because of this. You can't cure me."
The cat girl's ears pricked up, and her tail wagged impatiently. "Just you watch! I'll definitely cure you. "After saying that, she trotted away.
Qingyun Zi sighed and looked at the kittens playing at the side. These days, he had been lying down and doing nothing. Every day, he watched these cats fight, sleep, and play.
But as he watched, he gradually realized that he seemed to be able to understand the movements of these cats.
Or rather, he could see traces of airflow in the cats' bodies moving along with the cats' movements.
"This is the way the demons train themselves, right?"
"They can't cultivate Taoist techniques, nor do they have a systematic cultivation method. They just train instinctively."
"But why can I see that airflow?"
Qingyun Zi watched the cats play and watched the airflow in their bodies continue to circulate, becoming stronger and stronger.
Two days later, Qingyun Zi suddenly felt a slight warmth in his chest. It was as if a gush of airflow was born from his heart.
"What's going on?!" Qingyun Zi said in shock, "I … I can use the cultivation method of the demon race to cultivate?"
He realized that now that he was watching the cats play, the airflow in his body was subconsciously moving along with them, becoming stronger bit by bit.
Qingyun Zi's expression darkened. He was a little shocked, a little hesitant, and also a little incredulous.
"There's only one possibility for me to be able to cultivate the demon race's cultivation method … I have the bloodline of the demon race. I'm a mixed-blood between humans and demons."
Qingyun Zi suddenly thought of the scenes in the depths of his memories. Rows and rows of medicinal jars, countless runes and medicines, and the golden needles that covered his body.
"The White Bone Sect … Could it be that they're using humans and demons to refine zombies?"
In the following days, Qingyun Zi felt that the Qi flow in his body was getting hotter and stronger. Gradually … his body was able to move, and even his turbulent and chaotic sea of consciousness showed signs of calming down.
And as his body recovered, as that demonic power became stronger, he gradually realized … he could hear that voice again.
Hoarse, dry whispers rang out beside his ears from time to time. This was the voice he could hear since birth, and it was also the voice that Qingyun Zi had always instinctively wanted to find.
Hearing the voice that rang out beside his ears, two streams of clear tears flowed out for no reason. A feeling of being touched surged in Qingyun Zi's heart for no reason.
He did not know why he was crying either. He just suddenly cried out.
After that, as the demonic power in his body became stronger and stronger, Qingyun Zi's physical body gradually recovered. It even became stronger and stronger, approaching the standard of a demon.
And the whispers beside his ears also became more and more frequent, clearer and clearer. Qingyun Zi could already vaguely understand the meaning of some of the words.
"I … Zhong … Yang …"
Qingyun Zi also had some speculations in his heart, 'I could hear this voice when I was young, but as I grew older, I couldn't hear it anymore. Is it because of the dao technique? After cultivating the dao technique, I gradually couldn't hear it anymore.
'But this time, after the dao technique was crippled and I started to cultivate the demonic power, I can hear it more and more clearly.
'This voice has something to do with the demons?'
An instinctive sense of anticipation welled up in Qingyun Zi's heart. He trained his body with the cat demons every day and constantly strengthened his demonic power. He only hoped that one day he could hear the specific content of the voice. He wanted to know what the voice was saying.
…
Sword beams whistled, and the cat girl's hair stood on end. She moved about in the forest, dodging the flying sword attacks.
In the sky, a cultivator smiled as he looked at the cat girl who was trapped like a beast. He fiddled with the sword art in his hand, and a flying sword toyed with the cat girl in the palm of his hand.
At this moment, a roar sounded from afar, "Senior Brother! I found a nest of demon cubs. This cat demon really has a nest here. "
Roar! When the cat girl heard that, she roared angrily. A hint of anxiety flashed across her face, and she pounced towards the cultivator in the sky. However, she was easily dodged. The sword beams circled around her limbs, and the tendons in her hands and feet were already cut.
The power of the primordial spirit transformed into a large hand, grabbing the defenseless cat girl and flying towards the place where the voice came from. Soon, large patches of blood could be seen on the ground. One by one, the kittens were beheaded by the flying sword and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the cat girl struggled violently, but she was seriously injured and could not break the restraints of the primordial spirit.
The cultivator who grabbed the cat girl sneered, "No wonder you dare to come to the city to steal medicine. So you have a nest of demon cubs to raise."
The cat girl shouted miserably, "I didn't steal it. I exchanged it with herbs! Let me go! "
The cultivator directly sealed the cat girl's mouth with the power of the primordial spirit and looked in the direction of the cave. "Junior Brother, are you inside?"
Amidst a cry, a figure flew out along with a sword beam. Another cultivator shouted, "Be careful, Senior Brother! There's a demon that has taken human form inside! "
Qing Yun Zi slowly walked out of the cave. Looking at the two cultivators in front of him and the cat corpses all over the ground, he sighed softly. "This nest of cat demons didn't eat humans. Why do the two of you have to be so persistent?"
The cultivator sneered and said, "Humans and demons cannot coexist. If they don't eat humans now, they will eat humans in the future. It's the same for you."
"Die!"
The sword beam swept towards Qing Yun Zi. His dao technique had been crippled, and he only had the newly cultivated demonic power. Although he still had his experience and vision, his strength was greatly lacking. He could only struggle left and right under the sword beam, barely dodging.
It did not take long before the other cultivator's sword light swept forward as well. Due to the pincer attack from the two cultivators, wounds quickly appeared on Qing Yun Zi's body. Even his right hand was cut off by a sword attack and it fell to the ground.
At this critical moment, Qing Yun Zi frantically squeezed out the demonic power in his body. As the airflow gradually grew stronger, his movements seemed to become faster and faster.
At the same time, the whisper in his ear also became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "I heard it!"
"I remember now!"
A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. "I'm Lin Chenyang. I'm Lin Chenyang, a Chinese born in 1985!"
Looking at the flying swords rushing towards him, a hint of emotion flashed across Qing Yun Zi's face. "Void."
A black light flashed in his eyes. In the next moment, the two flying swords were already swallowed up by a pitch-black hole, completely losing contact with them.
The two cultivators were shocked. They had never seen this kind of power before.
Qing Yun Zi's pitch-black eyes looked at the two cultivators. "Disappear."
In the next moment, the door of the void opened behind the two of them. Like two large mouths, it completely swallowed the two of them.
…
"It's gone …" Jiao Jiao mumbled. "There's actually only half a book."
Zhou Bai looked at the book that had obvious traces of being torn. His heart was in turmoil, and countless thoughts were running through his mind.
"Qing Yun Zi … Lin Chenyang … He also came from the modern era? From the same era as me?
"He traveled through time like me? Did he travel through the void? Or something else?
"According to my previous speculation, Qing Yun Zi might be someone from the first Great War of Humans and Demons … That means he went to the modern era more than 10,000 years ago?
"He went to the past, and I went to the future. Is it the same person … or should I say the same force that did it? What's their purpose? "
For a moment, a myriad of thoughts ran through Zhou Bai's mind. There seemed to be countless thoughts forming and then dissipating into nothingness.
He asked the cat in his mind, "Cristina, do you remember anything?"
Cristina shook her head. "I can't."
Just as Zhou Bai's mind was filled with thoughts, Jiao Jiao's mind was also in a mess. Unlike Zhou Bai, she was more concerned about the half-demon and the void.
"Qing Yun Zi is a half-demon? Is he really the first to awaken the power of the void?
"Is it because of this demon that he rose to power?"
Jiao Jiao did not know about the first Great War of Humans and Demons, as well as the fading of spiritual opportunity and the era of homo sapiens.
She had read the book and thought that during the second Great War of Humans and Demons, demons were weaker than humans at first, and only became stronger after mastering the power of the void.
Jiao Jiao flipped through the book, seemingly inspecting something.
Next to her, Zhou Bai looked and asked, "What is it?"
Jiao Jiao replied, "I'm inspecting its authenticity, to see if this book has the imprint of the Daoist Sect of Three Clear Ones."
As a sect with a long history, the Daoist Sect of Three Purities had more or less lost some notes, scriptures, secret manuals, and other things of their seniors. It was even to the extent that the secret orders and messages of a certain sect master of a certain generation would be lost. So, they naturally needed some unique markings and passwords.
Soon, Jiao Jiao sighed. "There are runic imprints of seven sect masters. It seems that this book has been passed down through seven generations of sect masters, with each generation leaving their own imprint. But how could it be lost in the end? Half of it was even torn off. "
At this moment, Jiao Jiao was unprecedentedly anxious. She really wanted to see what was written at the back of the book.
Unfortunately, she couldn't see it at the moment.
Zhou Bai and Jiao Jiao focused on different things, but the two of them were equally concerned about the contents of the book in front of them. After flipping through it several times, they gradually calmed down and began to think about the contents.
Zhou Bai asked in his heart, "Cristina, do you know what realm this Yang Spirit is?"
Cristina lay on the scratching board and said lazily, "Before the Celestial Court unified all the sects in the world, they hadn't created the cultivation methods and systems of the Ten Realms of Divine Map. Yang Spirit was the name of a realm in that era, which was similar to the level of 100% Taoization. "
Zhou Bai nodded, solving one of his doubts.
Three hours later, Jiao Jiao let out a long sigh and said with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect our Daoist Sect of Three Clear Ones to have such a secret. Where on earth did Li Zhengdao get this book from? He didn't have the second half either, or he hid it. "
However, Jiao Jiao only sighed. Whether it was her or Zhou Bai, it was impossible for them to know about this at the moment.
She only looked at Zhou Bai and asked, "Zhou Bai, what do you think about this?"
Zhou Bai thought, 'If Qingyun Zi really came to the past and came into contact with the void, then he started the era of the decline of spiritual vigor and created an opportunity for the birth of homo sapiens. This guy is a blessing for homo sapiens. Could it be that his purpose of going back to the past was to create an opportunity for homo sapiens? '
Naturally, Zhou Bai would not say his true thoughts out loud. He only replied, "I feel that there are many inside stories. Why did the Bone Sect create mixed-bloods? Why could Qingyun Zi hear voices? What does that voice have to do with the void? There are too many uncertainties."
"That's right, there are too many secrets in history." Jiao Jiao looked at Zhou Bai. Based on her observation, Zhou Bai did not seem to have a rift with the Daoist Sect of Three Clear Ones because of this matter. After knowing this, Jiao Jiao was relieved.
…
After reading the book and thinking about it repeatedly, Zhou Bai finally put this matter aside for the time being. He operated the Void Crown.
Jiao Jiao glanced at it and knew that it was Sky Demon's technology. Although she had doubts in her heart, she temporarily suppressed them. She planned to find time to talk to Zhou Bai about Sky Demon.
After all, most of her attention was drawn by the contents of the book.
She thought, 'The Next Sun Plan … Was it Qingyun Zi who came up with it? Cristina came to the Daoist Sect of Three Clear Ones to participate in the Next Sun Plan. I've always wondered why Cristina knows about this.
Could it be that Qingyun Zi also left an inheritance with the demon race? If he was really a half-demon during the war between humans and demons, then it's very likely that he also left an inheritance with the demon race.
But what is his goal? Has our insistence all this while been correct? "
Jiao Jiao was seriously thinking about the Daoist Sect of Three Clear Ones.
Zhou Bai, on the other hand, looked at the light and shadow released by the Void Crown and remotely controlled the situation at the Sky Demon base.
After all, the secrets of the book could not be seen for the time being. It was urgent for him to improve his strength. Whether it was to explore the secrets, fight against the Celestial Court, or protect his companions, he needed great power.
In the battle with Li Zhengdao this time, he lost more than half of his mechanical dependents. The Starry Throne was especially severely damaged. They all needed to be repaired, and a new batch of dependents had to be created to replenish them.
At this moment, the mechanical dependents had all been transported back to the base by the Sky Demon. Zhou Bai began to remotely order the repair of the mechanical dependents. At the same time, he also ordered the Sky Demon to collect the Sky Demon tissues for him.
When he returned to the Sky Demon base, he could start selling the Sky Demon tissues in exchange for laziness. Then, he could use this laziness to learn the five divine abilities.
He also needed to use Luntu's ability to turn all the newly built mechanical Sky Demon into real dependents.
Controlling the Void Crown in front of him, watching the light and shadow constantly changing, Zhou Bai constantly modified various mechanical designs, manufacturing plans, and repair plans.
This time, Zhou Bai also gained a lot from the battle with Li Zhengdao. After high-intensity actual combat, he had many ideas about the modification of the mechanical dependents.
So, after Zhou Bai remotely operated the repair plan, modification design, and manufacturing plan of the mechanical dependents, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Zhou Bai stretched, and a muffled sound came from his bones.
"It's finally arranged. It'll be finished in about a week or two."
Mystic Fairy had also returned to Zhou Bai's side. She looked at Zhou Bai with a happy face. Seeing him work hard always made her feel happy.
The efficiency of the Sky Demon was still very amazing. Moreover, Zhou Bai did not create anything original. They were all mechanical dependents designed with the existing technology of the Sky Demon. With the productivity of the Sky Demon, it was enough to produce thousands of them in a short period of time.
Zhou Bai stood up and walked a few steps. He stretched his body, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Speaking of which, the guys from the Heaven Division have captured so many people. Anyway, I've already caused a lot of trouble. I might as well drive away all the people from the Central City stationed in Donghua City and release them.
"No, what if after I do this, the Celestial Court thinks that they have found my weakness and sends people over to forcibly take them to the Central City? I can't just stay in Donghua City. I have to go to the Sky Demon to earn laziness points. "
Zhou Bai still did not know that the people from the Heaven Division had already left. Even the news that he had defeated Li Zhengdao and True Lord Wanxing had gradually spread.
He thought about it and felt that it was not good to take people away. He could not stay in Donghua City all the time. Jiaojiao said that she would secretly protect him, so naturally, she would not appear unless it was a life and death situation.
"I don't know what the attitude of the Celestial Court will be. Since I can't take people away, I might as well establish my authority."
Zhou Bai's eyes lit up. Few cultivators who could become cultivators of the Heaven Division were idiots.
He wanted to establish his might and act cool. At the same time, he wanted to show off his achievements of defeating two Righteous Gods and show off his muscles. He didn't need to say much. As long as those Heaven Division cultivators weren't stupid, before he was beaten to death, they probably wouldn't dare to bully his classmates and teachers.
If they were really out of their minds, then he could take advantage of the time he was here to beat all of them away.
"After this, I will go straight back to the Sky Demon base. When I have earned enough laziness points, I will come back to learn skills."
Thinking of leaving, Zhou Bai said goodbye to Jiaojiao and was about to leave.
Jiaojiao asked in confusion, "Where are you going? Donghua City is in a mess now. Don't make any more trouble. "
Mystic Fairy was even more straightforward. She directly followed behind Zhou Bai, thinking that wherever Zhou Bai went, she would go.
She was also very satisfied with the result of the battle of Donghua City. "I did not expect that Zhou Bai could really subdue Jiaojiao. This old woman is so strong, and her power of distortion is also so strong. However, she still has some old feelings for humans. I hope that Zhou Bai can teach her well so that she can turn over a new leaf and understand her position as a distortion. "
As for pretending to be Xiao Pei and using the identity of Xiao Pei to build a relationship with Jiaojiao, Mystic Fairy did not care at all. For her, it was just to deceive this stupid woman. She had no sense of identity with Xiao Pei.
However, when she glanced at Jiaojiao and saw that the other party had a face that was somewhat similar to hers, she suddenly frowned slightly.
Jiaojiao's appearance was comparable to hers. Her white hair, coupled with her temperament and well-tempered willpower, seemed to suppress her even more when they stood side by side.
Moreover, the other party's strength and power of distortion were all above hers.
Originally, under Zhou Bai, only Mystic Fairy could absorb and release the power of distortion from Zhou Bai. Now, there was another Jiaojiao.
She could also absorb and release more power of distortion than she could.
She thought about how Zhou Bai and Jiaojiao had read that scroll together, and how she had listened to Zhou Bai's retelling of it afterward.
Thinking about this, Mystic Fairy caressed the Doomsday Heaven Sword in her hand. Unknowingly, her brows suddenly furrowed even more.
Zhou Bai said casually, "I have some matters to attend to and have to leave for a few days. When I'm back, I'm prepared to cultivate the five major techniques with you."
Zhou Bai wanted to first go to the Heaven division in Dong Hua City to establish his dominance, then return to the Sky Demon base to sell materials. After selling enough laziness, he would return to Dong Hua City and find Jiaojiao to cultivate the five major techniques.
Jiaojiao's attention was immediately attracted by the five major techniques. She nodded and said, "The five major techniques are profound and unpredictable. You can't be too hasty. Cultivate as much as you can." She thought that Zhou Bai was impatient after seeing her display the might of her five great sacred arts as one, so he wanted to cultivate his sacred art.
However, based on Jiaojiao's experience, even before the distortion of Tendo, it was impossible to master the five major techniques in one go, let alone after the distortion of Tendo.
Zhou Bai's cultivation speed was already extremely fast, but if he wanted to master the remaining three divine powers in one go, or even fuse the five divine powers into one, she felt that it was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
In particular, it took her ten years to merge the five major techniques as one. Later on, she even used the power of the matrix to be able to use them in battle.
"Oh right." Zhou Bai suddenly remembered something. "Why didn't I see Teacher Ying Dui and the others when I returned to the city this time?"
Feeling Jiaojiao's silence, Zhou Bai's heart sank. "They are still in Central City?"
Jiaojiao said, "Zhou Bai, don't be impulsive. They are not in danger in Central City for now. "
Zhou Bai narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry. I'm never impulsive."
Mystic Fairy also wanted to leave with Zhou Bai, but Zhou Bai stopped her. He said casually, "It's just a small matter. You don't have to follow me. Stay here as my family. Pray and tell me if anything happens. "
"Okay, be careful." Mystic Fairy nodded helplessly and watched Zhou Bai leave in a daze.
Jiaojiao, who was watching from the side, felt a little complicated. With her experience of more than a hundred years, she could easily see that the relationship between Xiao Pei and Zhou Bai was a little special.
During the battle of Donghua City, she could feel that Xiao Pei listened to Zhou Bai's arrangements wholeheartedly. She was completely controlled by Zhou Bai.
However, she just couldn't say anything. After all, with Xiao Pei's current situation, she didn't know if she could be considered her great-great-granddaughter or not. Seeing Xiao Pei use that familiar face and voice to call her grandmother, she didn't know how to face Xiao Pei. Her heart was a mess of complicated emotions.
With Zhou Bai's current situation, his strength had completely grown, and he had even helped her solve the problem of the abnormality. It was difficult for her to treat him like a student anymore.
However, seeing Xiao Pei's familiar face, seeing Xiao Pei watch Zhou Bai leave, and seeing Zhou Bai's casual and impatient look, Jiaojiao couldn't help but think, Zhou Bai, this brat, actually thinks that Xiao Pei is too clingy to him.
…
Cristina watched Zhou Bai's floating body fly to the top of Donghua City and asked curiously, "What are you doing, Zhou Bai?"
With a whoosh, Zhou Bai flew into the sky and arrived above the special control area.
As a special area designated by the Celestial Court in Donghua City, everything here was not under the jurisdiction of Donghua City, but it still needed the full support of Donghua City in terms of resources.
The people stationed here were all cultivators from the four divisions of the Celestial Court, as well as some cultivators from the Island of Immortals.
Zhou Bai looked at the people coming and going. He told Christina what he was thinking, and Christina's heart was burning with passion.
Cristina couldn't help but say, "Zhou Bai, let me control your body and show off."
Zhou Bai was silent for a while, then said slowly, "This time, I can't be too high-profile, but I have to be powerful enough. Can you do it?"
Cristina said anxiously, "I've made great progress recently. Also, how many masters can there be among the cultivators of the Heaven division in Donghua City? They're just a bunch of stinky brothers who haven't even reached 100% Enlightenment. I promise I'll help you show off to the sky. "
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ai Sha."
Aisha nodded and said with a serious expression, "Big Sister Tina has improved a lot recently."
Zhou Bai thought it was nonsense. Originally, he thought that Ai Sha was a promising talent, and she seemed to be getting smarter recently. However, after she became his dependent, she directly shared 120% of his poverty, which proved that Ai Sha was still an idiot.
Even so, seeing how anxious Cristina was, Zhou Bai decided to give Cristina a chance. Anyway, he was here, so he could take back the body at any time and control the situation.
So, Zhou Bai said, "Okay, you do it this time, but I'll watch from the side. If you can't do it, I'll switch back."
Cristina nodded quickly and took over Zhou Bai's body. Feeling the surging power in her body, she smiled excitedly.
"Haha! I'm here! "
"Where are they? How come they're all gone? "
Cristina looked at the empty office area and asked the cleaning lady, "Where did they go?"
The cleaning lady looked at Zhou Bai in confusion and felt that he looked familiar. Hearing this, she replied, "They went back to the central city."
Cristina quickly asked again, "They took them to the central city?"
The cleaning lady shook her head. "They've all been released."
Zhou Bai laughed in his mind. "These guys from the Heaven division probably got the news and left directly. That saved me a lot of effort. Let's go back and read."
"Damn it!" Cristina said, "How can they leave? How can they just leave like that? "
Zhou Bai speculated, "Without the order of the Heaven division, they wouldn't dare to leave. It seems that Li Zhengdao doesn't plan on attacking Dong Hua City for now. "
Zhou Bai said, "They're all gone, so we don't have to trouble ourselves anymore. Give me back control of the body."
"I don't want to!" Cristina said. "I won't accept this!"
As she said this, Cristina opened her mouth and spat out a shiny, pink scratchboard.
When Zhou Bai finished forging the Doomsday Heaven Sword in the central city, he used some of the leftovers from Greedy Steel to forge this primordial spirit equipment for Christina. It was called the Holy Cat's Claw.
Zhou Bai didn't know why this thing, which looked like a cat scratching board, had such a coquettish name, but it was one of Christina's favorite treasures.
"Look at my Holy Cat's Paw!"
The pink scratchboard expanded in the wind and became dozens of meters long and wide in the blink of an eye. Then, as Cristina's primordial spirit power was injected into it, a wave of air gushed out and hit the office building of the Celestial Court in Dong Hua City with a boom.
The blueprint of this scratchboard was drawn by Zhou Bai and Cristina from the void with the power of Greed, so he knew the power of this scratchboard very well.
In short, it only had one function, which was to transform the primordial spirit power that was injected into it into an invisible cat's paw.
Even this function was introduced in the blueprint, which was very simple. This was why Zhou Bai didn't want to make this before.
Anyway, its power was no different from attacking with primordial spirit power. It was just primordial spirit power in the shape of a cat's paw. Zhou Bai couldn't think of any use for it. However, Cristina seemed to like it very much.
Boom!
This office building was just an ordinary small building. The invisible cat's paw slammed into the office building, causing the whole building to deform and collapse. In the end, it turned into ruins, leaving a huge cat's paw print on the ground.
"Are you done?" Zhou Bai watched Cristina finish the fight and asked, "Can we go back now?"
Cristina sighed and said, "Alas, there's no one here. It's not worth it."
"My Holy Cat's Paw doesn't even have a chance to be used."
Zhou Bai curled his lips and said, "You treat a broken scratchboard as a treasure."
Cristina said angrily, "This is not an ordinary scratchboard! This is the Holy Cat's Paw! My intuition tells me that this scratchboard must be very important! "
Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "There is a blueprint for the primordial spirit equipment, and all the functions of the primordial spirit equipment are written on it. This scratchboard is used to act cute. "
Cristina was not convinced and said, "Maybe the blueprint is wrong! Or it's wrong! "
The man and the cat quarreled as they left. The scratchboard in the air shrank rapidly and quickly entered the space between Zhou Bai's eyebrows.
The cleaning auntie stared blankly at Zhou Bai's back as he left and finally said, "Zhou Bai! That's Zhou Bai! " She had seen him on the live broadcast of the Daluo Heaven Dao Discussion. However, this was the first time she had seen him in real life, so she did not recognize him.
After another round of chaos, Zhou Bai could not be seen.
However, after Zhou Bai left the office building, he did not immediately return to the Sky Demon base. Instead, he circled around and came to Donghua Dao School.
He casually put on his handsome mask and walked in the Dao School. A wave of emotions surged in his heart.
"I wonder how everyone is doing."
Thinking about this, Zhou Bai could not help but want to see how everyone was doing. However, he was worried that his arrival would disturb them and even bring trouble to them. After all, in the eyes of most humans, he was a traitor who had sided with the Sky Demon.
While thinking about this, Zhou Bai unknowingly walked to Jing Xiu and Xia Li's dormitory. He looked around and saw that there was not a single person on the streets due to the high-pressure management of the Heavenly Division. He looked up at the wall of the dormitory.
When he came to his senses, he had already climbed up along the wall.
"I'm just concerned about my classmates. They helped me a lot back then. I won't be at ease if I don't take a look."
Zhou Bai stretched his head toward the window. "This seems to be Xia Li's room. Is there no one? Is she still at the array formation level? "
After thinking about it, he moved his body and came to another window. This was Jing Xiu's room. He could faintly hear the voices of a few people coming from inside.
"Jing Xiu, Ms. Lin, are you okay? Did those b * stards do anything to you? "
"We're fine. They just locked us up and asked us sometimes. It's a pity that we can't cultivate these days. How are you guys doing outside? Is the Daoist school still closed? "
"I just don't know why they suddenly left and let us out. They seem to be in a hurry. Something big happened. Do you have any news? "
Zhou Bai listened for a while. The one who spoke in a hurry was probably Lu Wanzhen, the one who spoke softly was Jing Xiu, and the one who was analyzing the situation and asking for information was Lin Muqing. There was one person who had not spoken. He guessed that it was Xia Li.
"It's good that everyone is okay." Zhou Bai took a glance and planned to leave. After all, his identity was awkward now. Any help he gave to his classmates might harm them instead.
At the same time, he had unknowingly opened up a huge gap between him and his classmates. They were not on the same level anymore. His classmates could not help him anymore.
Thinking about this, he sighed. Unknowingly, the people who could stand by his side were getting fewer and fewer.
"It's lonely at the top." Zhou Bai sighed and left resolutely.
In the room, the few people were discussing the current situation. They all looked worried. Xia Li suddenly said, "I … I think I saw Zhou Bai in the matrix layer."
Looking at the surprised looks of the three, Xia Li said with uncertainty, "I also heard some gossip. It said that Zhou Bai defeated Lord of Heaven Hao Ran and True Lord Wan Xing of the Heaven Division. That was why he drove away the cultivators of the Heaven Division."
Everyone listened to the news in shock. Lin Muqing, on the other hand, felt that there was something unusual about it. Logically speaking, such important information shouldn't be known by an ordinary student like Xia Li in a short period of time. She had some speculations in her mind and planned to contact the members of the Sky-flipping Sect in Dong Hua City to see what they knew.
Meanwhile, in Dong Hua City, the members of the Sky Flipping Sect had already begun to publicize Zhou Bai's achievements under the arrangement of Li Xiuzhu. This was all arranged by Li Xiuzhu before he left.
Next, not only in Dong Hua City, but also in the four major cities and the members of the Sky Flipping Sect in the Central City would secretly publicize Zhou Bai's achievements. This would refresh people's understanding of the Celestial Court.
Immortals were not invincible.
On the other side, Zhou Bai returned to the Sky Demon base. First, he released Cristina and the Primordial Taoist Scripture. He asked her to continue to cultivate the Primordial Taoist Scripture and increase her Daoization to 60%.
Maybe Cristina could awaken new memories, which would be very helpful to Zhou Bai.
Ai Sha did not cultivate the Primordial Taoist Scripture for the time being because her demonic nature had risen a little. Zhou Bai planned to play it safe.
Then, Zhou Bai returned to his studio in the Sky Demon base. Looking at the rows of Sky Demon organizations, Zhou Bai began the task of earning laziness points.
