What appeared in Bai Xiaowen's hand was a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip was smooth and had no words on it.
Ge Xuan examined it and shook his head. "I don't know what this is."
Bai Xiaowen said, "Can I use Inner Vision on this thing to see if there's any written information in it?"
Ge Xuan frowned. "I've only heard that in ancient times, immortals came out in large numbers and used immortal jades as books to leave behind their classics. Where did you get this Jade Slip, Young Master? "
Bai Xiaowen's expression didn't change and his heart didn't skip a beat. "I found it by chance in an ancient ruin. When I went to look for it later, the ruin had disappeared without a trace."
Ge Xuan said with relief, "No wonder Young Master knows some Taoist techniques but doesn't know why. You learned it by yourself by chance."
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, "That's your own imagination. I'm not lying to you."
Ge Xuan then took the Jade Slip and closed his eyes. Bai Xiaowen knew he was using Inner Vision and tried to read the Jade Slip without disturbing him.
After about a minute, Ge Xuan opened his eyes and shook his head. "I'm ashamed! I can't see the origin of this thing. I can only speculate that it's not ordinary. That's all. "
Bai Xiaowen was a bit disappointed, but it made sense when he thought about it.
The Fang Family's Fourth Uncle who gave the Jade Slip to Bai Xiaowen was also a top-level Awakened. He traveled in various planes and had the opportunity to meet experts, but even he couldn't decipher the secrets in this Jade Slip. It was enough to see how difficult it was.
If he hadn't lost hope, he wouldn't have given the Jade Slip as an exchange item.
Bai Xiaowen's only hope is that the Three Kingdoms plane itself is the top difficulty of the ancient Huaxia plane. Due to the bonus of the plane's legendary points, the native experts of this plane must be more powerful. Basically, it is the highest level of the entire plane of awakeners.
If even the experts of the Three Kingdoms plane couldn't decipher it, then their hope was really slim.
"Daoist, where does your master, Mr. Ravenhorn, or Nanhua Immortal, live now? I wonder if we can invite them to decipher the secrets of the jade slips. They should be interested in the immortal's legacy, "Bai Xiaowen probed.
Ge Xuan shook his head and said, "Master travels the world and is elusive. If you want to find him, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. If you don't look for him, perhaps he will appear in front of you in the next moment. As for Senior Uncle Nanhua Immortal, he's even more transcendent. I've only heard of his name, but I've never seen him before. "
Bai Xiaowen knew that the Nanhua Old Immortal was indeed an existence from the Three Kingdoms.
Therefore, even though Zuo Ci and Yu Ji were called the Three Immortals along with Nanhua Deity, they were much weaker in terms of cultivation level and strength. Otherwise, they would have been in the background and wouldn't have been able to travel around the Three Kingdoms.
For now, he could only place his hopes on Ge Xuan. This was also the only clue that Bai Xiaowen could grasp.
Ge Xuan glanced at Bai Xiaowen and persuaded him, "Young Master, don't bite off more than you can chew. If this jade slip is really an immortal's legacy, with our current foundation, we won't be able to learn anything even if we decipher it. The Three Heavenly Tomes are right in front of us. Learning the Taiping Sutra and building a good foundation is the most important thing. "
Bai Xiaowen suddenly narrowed his eyes.
From Ge Xuan's words, he could hear a hint of unspoken meaning.
Ge Xuan … seems to be holding back? He should know something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like 'even if we decipher it'.
Bai Xiaowen's mind spun rapidly.
A normal persuasion would be something like 'don't waste your energy on something that has no hope of deciphering.'
Bai Xiaowen calmly put away the jade slip and took out another item with a smile. "I'm sure you can recognize this item."
This time, he took out a dragon-patterned golden box.
Ge Xuan stroked the patterns on the dragon-patterned golden box and was somewhat speechless. "Young Master, you really have a lot of Taoist treasures on you. Did you also get this from the same ancient site? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head with a smile and then nodded. He gave a small hint for Ge Xuan to figure it out himself.
Ge Xuan suddenly said, "That's right. According to my calculations, the ancient sites that Young Master encountered should be divided into the inner and outer areas. This golden box and the Taoist spells that Young Master learned should be obtained from the outer area, while the jade slip should be obtained from the inner area."
Bai Xiaowen was secretly amazed. Ge Xuan was really a little prince of imagination. With this ability of imagination, he could write a novel.
"Master, you're wise. How should we open this golden box? Is there a way? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
Ge Xuan said, "This is easy."
"Really?" Bai Xiaowen was somewhat puzzled. The previous owner of this golden box, Emperor Yang of Sui, was also a powerful figure. He could not open the golden box in his entire life. Could it be that the difference between the end of the Sui Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms was really so great?
Ge Xuan's next words dispelled Bai Xiaowen's confusion.
"There's a spiritual item hidden in this golden box. It seems that the predecessors have made sufficient preparations. The spiritual item in the box has absorbed enough spiritual energy. All he needed to do was to push the door open. If it doesn't absorb enough spiritual energy, I'm afraid it won't open even if it uses ten times the effort. Also … "
Ge Xuan wanted to say something, but stopped. Bai Xiaowen hurriedly asked, "Also what?"
Ge Xuan said, "The spiritual item in the box is probably absorbing the fate of the country. If it doesn't absorb enough, it will cause frequent droughts and floods and continuous disasters. Fortunately, it has absorbed enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to open it and risk universal condemnation. "
Bai Xiaowen finally understood.
The Daoist who gave the golden box to Emperor Yang of Sui must be an evil Daoist … or at least, not a righteous person.
Emperor Yang of Sui was the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. If the golden box wanted to absorb the fate of the country, was there a better target than Emperor Yang of Sui?
No wonder before Emperor Yang of Sui died, he said that after obtaining this item, he did not make the country prosper. Instead, he caused continuous disasters.
It was also because Emperor Yang of Sui did not think so much when he was alive that he realized that the golden box was not a treasure to become an immortal, but the source of chaos. Therefore, he warned Bai Xiaowen to be careful.
It was not enough for the golden box to absorb the fate of an Emperor. It also used Emperor Yang of Sui's resentment to forcefully turn Jiangdu into a ghost town. It devoured the fate of Yuwen Huaji, Zhiji, and countless other officials and generals before it was "full". This golden box was really terrifying.
Next, Ge Xuan helped Bai Xiaowen open the golden box with dragon patterns.
Just as Ge Xuan said, it was very easy to open it.
Bai Xiaowen followed the steps and used the Inner Vision Technique to examine the patterns on the golden box. Then, he injected his spiritual energy into it.
The patterns on the golden box glowed inch by inch. It was like a dried-up riverbed that suddenly had flowing water at its source, becoming lively once again. Finally, the dragon pattern on the surface of the golden box glowed brightly. The two dragon eyes were even more dazzling.
The golden box with dragon patterns was opened!
