At the same time, Qihai Province, Luoyang City, Ji Residence.
Whoosh!
An earthy yellow ray of light soared into the sky, causing the sky to rumble with thunder. At this moment, the power of heaven and earth was actually activated. Countless rays of light slowly descended into the garden in the backyard of the Ji Residence. All of the light gathered at a place where a light blue shield was. On the shield, there were a few lines of obscure characters that were suffused with a faint light.
"Success, it's … it's a high-grade Earth Tome!" A middle-aged man cheered excitedly, "Father, after the Heavenly Imperial Gate opened, you should be the first person to write a high-grade Earth Tome, the first person in the empire!"
The old man holding the shield was about 70 years old, with a face full of white beard. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "With the reopening of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, the spiritual power between heaven and earth has also gathered again. Our Ji Residence has waited for thousands of years and finally obtained this opportunity. Today is the day to rebuild our family business. Immediately write a letter and send it to Lanyan City. Report to Her Highness the Empress that I have written a high-grade Earth Tome."
"Yes!"
… …
The next day, Lanyan City, Ze Tian Palace Hall.
Qin Yin was dressed in a dark blue dress decorated with fish scale-shaped gems. The stars were very gorgeous, causing this heavenly beauty to shine even more brilliantly. Even though she was not wearing the empress's robes, she was still extremely dignified, making the ministers wholeheartedly submit to her. But today, the mood of the ministers seemed to be very agitated.
Feng Jixing held a scroll in his hand and said, "Your Highness, in less than seven days since the reopening of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, reports of success have been coming in one after another. Prince Qin Yong of Prince Zhong's Residence in Yunzhong Province has written a low-grade Earth Tome. Someone from the Liu Residence in Cangnan Province has written a high-grade Earth Tome. A few days ago, we received the latest report from Xiao Xi. Ji Lin of Ji Residence in Qihai Province has written a high-grade Earth Tome."
Qin Yin nodded with a smile, "Mhm."
The Marquis of the Tranquil Sea, Yao Yuan, dressed in a white robe, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the reopening of the Heavenly Imperial Gate and the re-gathering of the power of heaven and earth will inevitably cause great changes. This old official believes that whether it is the Human Book, the Spiritual Book, the Earth Book, or the Heavenly Book, or the Divine Book, they are all powerful enough to change the pattern of the future war. Your Highness should strike first, recruit talents, reopen the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and gather talents who can write spiritual books and above in Lanyan City to serve the empire."
"Very well, Marquis's words make sense." Qin Yin still had a refreshing and charming smile.
Su Muyun cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I feel that … if the Heavenly Book Pavilion is to be reopened, we must find a capable and virtuous person to be its manager."
Tang Lan nodded as well. "This old official thinks so too. Let's appoint the person in charge first before rebuilding the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Once the Heavenly Tome Pavilion is reconstructed, its status will be above that of the Spiritual Medicine Department and be on equal footing with the Divine Temple. "
Suddenly, Chu Yao, who was dressed in a female official's robe, was a little displeased. She frowned slightly and did not speak. In fact, the empire was in a period of war, and the need for force was far greater than the need for medicine. Moreover, the Heavenly Tome could attract the power of heaven and earth. Its power was extraordinary, so it was understandable that the Heavenly Tome Pavilion's status was above that of the Spiritual Medicine Department.
Qin Yin's pair of intelligent eyes swept over the officials and said, "Minister of Revenue, rebuild Prince Yunning's mansion and turn it into a mansion for the Heavenly Tome Pavilion. All needs will be provided by the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, send letters to Prince Zhong's Mansion, Liu's Mansion, Ouyang's Mansion, and Ji's Mansion, inviting their Patriarchs and their children to settle down in Lanyan City. The imperial capital will treat them well. As for the position of the Heavenly Tome Pavilion's manager, wait for the people from the four families to come."
"Yes!" Everyone saluted in unison.
Su Muyun said again, "Your Highness, since we have decided to rebuild the Heavenly Tome Pavilion, I think we should strike while the iron is hot. After the Heavenly Tome Pavilion is rebuilt, we should immediately start to select talents and hold the Heavenly Tome Selection Examination to recruit talents for the empire."
"Yes." Qin Yin nodded lightly, "Then, the preparation for the Heavenly Tome Selection Examination will be fully handled by Grandfather."
Su Muyun cupped his hands, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Tang Lan was a little displeased, but she did not say much.
…
Three days later, the imperial capital, Lanyan City, seemed to have become more lively. Countless families and aristocratic families gathered from all over the mainland. All the major inns were full. Even many declining families who planned to rely on the Heavenly Tome Pavilion to revive their family's prestige from thousands of years ago had already settled in Lanyan City. They bought cars, houses, and horses. The population, business, and economy of Lanyan City had rapidly recovered.
On the main road about a hundred miles away from Lanyan City, three people and three horses were traveling slowly. The return journey was not too urgent because Lin Muyu had already received Xiao Bai's letter. Chu Yao told him everything about Lanyan City.
"Phew …"
Lin Muyu rode on the back of the Treading Snow Warhorse and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath. The dou qi in his body was running more forcefully and steadily. This was the credit of practicing the Vajra Protection Body. For three days, the Vajra Protection Body had nine heavens, but Lin Muyu still practiced to the third heavens. The first realm, 'Withered Tree Roots', was the foundation of the Vajra Protection Body. With Lin Muyu's martial arts comprehension and current martial arts cultivation, he had already mastered it in just a few hours. The second realm, 'Connecting the Sea of Qi', was not difficult for him at all. The Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll had already connected the dou qi to the Sea of Qi, so Lin Muyu only had to silently recite the mantra of the Vajra Protection Body a few times to complete it.
It was the third realm, 'Embracing the Moon', that stumped Lin Muyu. It required the dou qi to connect all the tendons and veins in the body, like washing the marrow and tendons. After two days of practice, there were still no results.
But at this time, Lin Muyu's arms were slightly folded in front of his chest. His whole body was enshrouded in the King's Dou Qi. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in his arms, like a bright moon!
Tang Xiaoxi could not help but be happy, "Mu, you have successfully practiced the 'Embracing the Moon'?"
"En."
Lin Muyu felt the thick airflow on the surface of his body and the steady feeling coming from all over his body. He could not help but be happy, "It seems that I have indeed practiced the third heaven of the Vajra Protection Body!"
Bai Yin frowned, "I have not even broken through to the second heaven. Commander, did you teach me the wrong mantra?"
"Pei, it is you who is a waste. How can you blame me?"
Tang Xiaoxi asked with a smile, "How do you feel and change after practicing the third heaven of the Vajra Protection Body?"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "My breath is longer, and I feel that my body's strength has increased by a lot. The Vajra Protection Body is indeed the ultimate divine art of defense."
"It is good that it is effective!"
"Oh right, Xiao Xi." Lin Muyu said, "Sister Chu Yao said that Ze Tian Palace is already planning to rebuild the Heavenly Book Pavilion. That … is the legendary Heavenly Book really that powerful?"
"En, it is like this." Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Four thousand years ago, the status of the Heavenly Book on the continent was no different from martial arts. The Heavenly Book is divided into five levels, which are the Human Book, Spirit Book, Earth Book, Heaven Book, and God Book. The power of the Heavenly Book is also increased. In addition, the Heavenly Book is actually a type of inscription carved on the embryo of a weapon. Once written, there is a certain chance of activating the power of Heaven and Earth. Only a Heavenly Book that activates the power of Heaven and Earth can be called a Heavenly Book. Otherwise, it is just a useless book. Once it activates the power of Heaven and Earth, it can bring about a very strong power."
As she said this, Tang Xiaoxi was a little excited and continued with a smile, "Legend has it that in a war six thousand years ago, the empire's ancestor, Qin Zhang, activated the inscription of three God Books and activated the power of Heaven and Earth, instantly annihilating more than fifty thousand enemies. The power of the Heavenly Book is evident."
"More than fifty thousand?" Lin Muyu was dumbfounded, "Then … I am afraid that the future war will not be the same as before …"
"Yes …"
Tang Xiaoxi said faintly, "The future war will be a battle between power and the Heavenly Book. Whoever has more Heavenly Books in their hands will be able to dominate the war."
As she said this, Tang Xiaoxi suddenly smiled again, "But there is no need to think so much. After all, there is no peerless genius who can write a God Book. It is rare to see one in ten thousand years, not to mention this is an era where talents are dying."
Lin Muyu still felt a lingering fear when she heard the story just now, but she did not say much. Instead, she took out the Treasure Book of Fuxi's Heavenly Book and studied it repeatedly. Fuxi's Heavenly Book was also a Heavenly Book, but it seemed to be different from the Heavenly Book that Tang Xiaoxi mentioned. Fuxi's Heavenly Book recorded the engraving, the engraving of armors and shields, and they were all passive abilities. It was completely different from the Heavenly Book that Tang Xiaoxi described that could activate the power of Heaven and Earth.
Forget it, I'll first learn the Fuxi Heavenly Book's engravings. I'll do what I do and love what I do. I can't just learn whatever is stronger. The most important thing is to do one thing well.
Moreover, if I can really learn the engraving to the extreme, I should not be inferior to the person who inscribed the Heavenly Book, right?
…
In the evening, they arrived at Lanyan City. There was an endless stream of merchants on the road. Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi were shocked. Although Lanyan City was the trade center of the continent, it was still a little unbearable to be so prosperous. When they entered the city, there was even a long queue outside the city. Merchants from all over the empire were queuing to enter the city. Once the sky turned dark, the city gates would be closed, and they could only spend the night outside the imperial city.
Lin Muyu had no intention of queuing. She led Tang Xiaoxi and Bai Yin to the city gates and said loudly, "Zhang Wei, open the side gate and let us in."
Zhang Wei was holding a roasted chicken and eating it fiercely. When he heard Lin Muyu's voice, he laughed. "Commander Yu is back? Someone, open the side gate and let Commander Yu and Princess Xi enter the city. "
"Yes!"
When Lin Muyu entered the city, she saw that the streets were bustling with people from other places. She couldn't help but laugh. "What's going on in Lanyan City? Why are there so many people …"
Zhang Wei rubbed his nose and laughed. "That's natural. Duke Yun is about to hold the Heavenly Book selection examination, and the Empress has already issued an imperial edict. The person who writes the Human Book will be rewarded with 100 Jin Yin coins, the person who writes the Spiritual Book will be rewarded with 1,000 Jin Yin coins, the person who writes the Earthly Book will be rewarded with 10,000 Jin Yin coins, the person who writes the Heavenly Book will be rewarded with 100,000 Jin Yin coins, and the person who writes the Heavenly Book … will be immediately conferred the title of nobility."
Lin Muyu said resentfully, "When I first entered the Saint Region, I didn't even get conferred the title of nobility. It seems that writing books these days is much more promising than practicing martial arts."
Zhang Wei laughed. "Commander, don't be sad. Most of these people who inscribe the Heavenly Books are weak scholars. Even if they inscribe things like Human Book, Spiritual Book, and Earthly Book on their weapons, shields, and armors, won't we, the soldiers, have to wear the equipment that has become the Heavenly Book and fight with our lives against the Demon Race and the Yihe Nation?"
"That's true, haha …"
