Chapter 2019 Innate Human Soul Book [5,000 words]
"exactly."
The old man officiating nodded, and then said with a solemn expression: "We can survive the disaster this time only because of the help of fellow Taoists."
"With this kind of kindness, we don't want to hide anything from you. I think fellow Taoists also have some doubts in their hearts. You can ask us."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and asked with a somewhat solemn expression: "I want to know, how do you resist the erosion of the desert sea?"
"To be honest, it relies on the power of the Holy Book." The old man officiating said with an extremely solemn expression.
"Holy book?" Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly.
"Well, it's the scripture you saw before."
The old man who was the officiating priest nodded, and then said: "After the original realm of the wilderness fell, it gradually became difficult to resist the corrosive power of the wilderness sea."
"Hundreds of thousands of kalpas ago, the sea of chaos continued to erode the ancient world of the wilderness, and everything lost its vitality under the power of desolation."
"Just when we were about to despair, an ancient book came flying from the depths of the chaotic sea."
"His scriptures can expel the power of desolation, protect the ancient world from the erosion of desolation, and can even be rubbed into jade and turned into a sacred stone to resist the desolate sea."
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he roughly understood why the ancient ship of chaos was able to withstand the erosion of the power of desolation.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "I would like to ask if you can let me see some holy books."
All the priests present were silent for a while after hearing this. It was not until a moment later that the old man who was the chief priest finally spoke: "The holy book is related to the survival of my people in the wilderness, and you should not be allowed to come into contact with it."
"But to be honest, the nine of us are about to run out of oil, and we need a new officiant to be able to unleash the power of the holy book."
"I wonder if your distinguished guest would be willing to become the next chief priest of our ancient world."
"The officiant..."
Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise.
The old priest nodded, and then said: "Our Great Wilderness Temple exists to enshrine the Holy Book."
"The chief priest of the Great Wilderness Temple is the most powerful person in the ancient world of Great Wilderness. He can even exert some of the power of the Holy Book..."
Having said this, the face of the officiating old man changed slightly and said: "However, the power of the Holy Book is infinite, and the cost of exerting the power of the Holy Book is extremely high."
"Not only must you cultivate Daluo Yuanshen, but you must also sacrifice your own Yuanshen power."
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this moment, he roughly understood in his heart that the sacrifices in front of him were probably to activate the innate treasure and overdraw his soul and origin.
In this regard, Chen Nianzhi had actually expected that the power of the innate treasure was too great, and generally it would take at least the late cultivation of Emperor Hunyuan to activate it.
These priests have the highest cultivation level and are only in the early stage of Emperor Hunyuan. It stands to reason that they cannot activate the innate treasure at all.
In order to exert the power of that innate treasure, they can only overdraw the power of their own souls.
Over time, the souls of these sacrifices gradually dried up in the process of activating the innate treasure, so they ended up about to perish.
If it were Chen Nianzhi who was in charge, his spiritual cultivation would be comparable to that of the Hunyuan Emperor in the middle stage. If he could only exert part of his power, the price would be a weakening of his spiritual power at best.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi pondered slightly, and then said: "If I guessed correctly, your holy book is an innate treasure."
"If these treasures are activated with my cultivation, if they only use part of their power, the price should be much lower."
"However, I am not from this world. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to stay in this world for a long time. I'd better choose someone wiser for the position of chief priest."
"You don't need to sacrifice your soul to activate it?"
When the nine great priests heard this, they immediately expressed surprise.
They originally thought that Chen Nianzhi's physical strength was very strong and his spiritual cultivation should be relatively low. They did not expect that Chen Nianzhi's spiritual cultivation was actually so powerful.
When his thoughts were wandering, the old priest said: "To be honest, if we continue, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."
"Since fellow Taoist can activate the Holy Book, then please come with me."
After the words fell, the old priest took Chen Nianzhi to the back of the temple.
Chen Nianzhi followed the nine great priests and soon arrived at the center of the temple.
But in the center of the temple, on a simple stone platform, a simple golden scripture slowly rose and fell, exuding golden scriptures one after another.
"This is……"
"Innate Human Soul Book!"
Chen Nianzhi's heart trembled. Without the obstruction of the sea of chaos, he finally saw the name in the ancient book clearly.
But on the cover of the ancient book, there was a line of golden characters written - Human Soul Book.
"Fellow Taoist, do you recognize this object?"
The old man who was officiating noticed something strange about Chen Nianzhi and couldn't help but asked with some doubts.
Chen Nianzhi pondered slightly, but still told the nine great sacrifices about the origin of the Innate Human Soul Book.
"It is said that in ancient times, when the three-pole primitive realm where I was first opened, a supreme chaotic spiritual treasure was born, called the Three Souls Book of Chaos."
"Later, due to a great catastrophe, the Three Souls Book of Chaos was divided into three parts and turned into the Three Souls Book of Heaven, Earth and Man, which are the three innate treasures."
"If my guess is correct, the innate human soul book in front of me is the lost chaotic human soul book among the three soul books."
When the old man who was the officiating priest heard this, his face suddenly trembled.
His heart sank, and he couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist, this book is my only hope in the ancient world of the wilderness. I must not miss it."
Chen Nianzhi nodded when he heard this, but did not say anything immediately.
After pondering for a long time, he asked: "If one day I can save the ancient world from erosion, can I take this treasure away?"
When the nine great priests heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The old man who was officiating took a deep breath, and then said: "If Taoist friend really has a way, it would be okay to take this treasure away."
"How can we resist those desolate tribes if we just lose the Holy Book?"
Chen Nianzhi nodded when he heard this. This is indeed a question.
The reason why the Great Wilderness Ancient World has been able to sustain itself until now is because the power of the Human Soul Book extremely restrains the Chaos Wilderness tribes.
If there was no human soul book, just the hundreds of Da Luo Jinxian in the Great Wilderness Ancient World, plus a half-disabled Hunyuan Emperor, would have died long ago without a burial place.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "This matter is not urgent. After I recover from my injury, I may try to eradicate the Chaos Desolate Clan around me for you."
"Besides, even if I really leave one day, I will leave you with enough means to protect yourself."
After hearing this, the old man who was officiating finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his tense nerves.
Originally, he was prepared. If Chen Nianzhi really wanted to snatch the holy book, he would use a large formation to trap and kill Chen Nianzhi at all costs.
Since Chen Nianzhi had no other plans, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the old priest was still dubious about Chen Nianzhi's words that he could protect the primitive territory of the wilderness from erosion.
Chen Nianzhi smiled when he saw this. In order to prevent the nine great priests from overthinking, he did not mention the request to understand the Human Soul Book.
He thought for a while, then handed the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique that he had perfected to the old man who was officiating, and said with a smile: "This is the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique that I perfected in my spare time."
"I think it might be of some use to you."
After saying that, Chen Nianzhi left the temple and returned to his residence.
After Chen Nianzhi left, the nine priests were still a little uneasy. One priest couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to expose the holy book this time."
The old priest shook his head and said calmly: "This person's injuries have not yet recovered, but his strength is already so extraordinary. If he really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid it will be useless for us to resist."
"And we are also dying. This may be our only chance."
Saying this, the old priest opened the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique that Chen Nianzhi had perfected.
He didn't have high hopes at first, thinking that Chen Nianzhi's perfected Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique was just a random change.
After all, the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique has been perfected by them for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and it has reached the point of no progress.
But after just looking at it for a moment, the old man who was officiating could not move his eyes away.
His face was slightly shaken, and he said in great shock: "How is it possible?"
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, several of the major priests present had a hint of doubt, but the old man who was the chief priest directly threw the scriptures to them.
They took the scriptures and read them one after another, and then they all showed expressions of ecstasy.
"He reduced the mortality rate of practicing the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique by ten times. How is this possible?"
The nine great priests were all shocked, and they all looked at each other.
The old man who was officiating gave a wry smile, and then said: "He is willing to give us this method, so that we can use the hearts of villains to save the hearts of gentlemen."
All the priests smiled bitterly, and there was a hint of shock in their hearts.
One of the priests couldn't help but look at the scriptures, and then said: "He actually has such understanding. Could it be that our cultivation method is really so bad?"
All the priests present remained silent, obviously shocked by Chen Nianzhi's methods.
In fact, from Chen Nianzhi's perspective, the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique is indeed crude, but this method is definitely an impressive inheritance among the Seven Domains of Nanyuan.
The only flaw of this method is that there has never been a Chaos Emperor in the Great Wilderness Primitive Realm, so the vision is quite poor.
Comparatively speaking, Chen Nianzhi's current understanding is stronger than that of many Chaos Heavenly Emperors. What he considers to be a crude method may not really be just a superficial method.
After all, the methods created by Chen Nianzhi, whether it is the Chaos Scripture, the method of cultivating the Tao with oneself, or the method of cultivating the soul, are all ancient scriptures at the level of the sub-sage and even the emperor.
Among the entire seven realms of Nanyuan, the only techniques that caught Chen Nianzhi's attention were the ancient scriptures of the Emperor of Heaven.
Under such circumstances, although the Dahuang Body Refining Technique is crude, it is called by Chen Nianzhi as a fantastic idea, and it does have considerable merits.
"..."
Closer to home, after Chen Nianzhi left the temple, he returned directly to his residence.
After returning to his residence, Chen Nianzhi first checked his harvest. In this battle, Chen Nianzhi killed hundreds of Da Luo Huang tribe and two emperor Huang tribes.
All the relics of the Emperor's Huang clan were put away by Chen Nianzhi, and the treasures from the fall of the Daluo Huang clan have also been sent to Chen Nianzhi's residence by Aman and others.
Chen Nianzhi counted the harvest and found that the total number of captured Desolate Clan physical bodies and innate spiritual treasures totaled more than two hundred.
These treasures were of no use to Chen Nianzhi, so he planned to refine them into treasure pills in the future and leave them to his discretion.
The legacy of the Emperor's Desolate Clan is not much, only two Hunyuan bodies and two innate treasure embryos.
Among the two supreme treasure embryos, the Manniu Emperor's giant ax is a second-line innate treasure embryo, and the Trident Emperor's trident is only a first-line innate treasure embryo, which is actually not of much use to Chen Nianzhi.
He put away these treasures, and then began to retreat to refine the Chaos Divine Liquid for healing and cultivation. In his spare time, he refined the captured items into the Great Luo elixir and the Hunyuan elixir.
Time flies so fast, and a calamity has passed before you know it.
On this day, Chen Nianzhi once again refined a drop of Chaos Divine Liquid. He couldn't help but exhale slowly, and his pale expression finally returned to rosy.
"All the divine forms of the avenue were swallowed up, and my injuries finally recovered."
Chen Nianzhi whispered slowly, sensing the power in his body, and found that his combat power had returned to its peak.
He exhaled slowly, and then probed his mind into the Guixu Furnace, a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
"Absorbing the divine form of the Great Dao, the Dao patterns in the Guixu Furnace have gradually been perfected, and it seems that it is about to transform into the real Guixu Avenue."
Chen Nianzhi whispered in his heart, and then his eyes suddenly moved slightly, and his figure disappeared from the place.
When he reappeared, Chen Nianzhi had arrived in the nameless space where the Guixu Pearl was located.
In the nameless space, there are several peerless treasures floating up and down.
Among them are a white immortal cauldron that surrounds the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth, and a treasure vase that exudes the energy of the chaotic void.
And in the center of the two treasures is an orb entwined by the endless road to the ruins.
Chen Nianzhi glanced at the Fortune Cauldron and the Chaos Refining Void, and couldn't help but nodded slightly. The Fortune Cauldron responded, but the Void Refining Void was still sleeping.
Among the two treasures, the Cauldron of Creation is the innate treasure, and Chen Nianzhi's current cultivation level can barely exert 10% of its power.
The Chaos Refining Void is a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and the spirit of the instrument seems to have fallen into a deep sleep. At least one must be at the level of the Great Emperor to be able to activate it.
Even with Chen Nianzhi's foundation, he would probably have to reach the later stage of Emperor Hunyuan to be able to sacrifice him.
However, the Guixu Bead is a companion treasure, so the difficulty of activating it is much lower.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Nianzhi looked at the Guixu Bead, and couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.
But I saw the Guixu Bead slowly sinking and floating on the nothingness, constantly breathing the emptiness and Guixu Qi from all over the wilderness.
This made Chen Nianzhi's eyes move slightly, and he couldn't help but ask: "You finally woke up, how do you feel?"
"I have been successfully promoted and will not fall into a deep sleep for a long time in the future."
Gui Xuzhu replied calmly, but a rare joy appeared in his mind.
It turned out that after Chen Nianzhi stepped into the chaotic sea of desolation, the Guixu Pearl swallowed up a force of desolation and fell into a deep sleep.
It was precisely because of his own deep sleep that Chen Nianzhi was unable to enter the nameless space to recover from his injuries.
Fortunately, this time of deep sleep has greatly improved the level of the Guixu Pearl. Now the Guixu Pearl has entered the realm of innate treasures.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but said: "How do you feel?"
"With this promotion, my power has greatly increased. With your current cultivation level, you should be able to exert 30% of my power."
Having said this, Guixuzhu said: "If you reach the middle stage of Hunyuan Emperor, you should be able to exert your full power."
Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but nodded. The power of an innate treasure, even if it could only exert 30% of its power, would probably be able to suppress the seventh level of the Hunyuan Emperor.
If he could exert his full power, Chen Nianzhi would probably be able to protect himself even when facing the emperor.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Nianzhi asked: "Can you help me cultivate the Guixu Avenue now?"
Guixu Pearl did not answer, but the light trembled slightly, and then released a Dao Divine Chain, which blended into Chen Nianzhi's eyebrows.
"Understand carefully."
Chen Nianzhi did not dare to neglect, and immediately realized the power of Guixu Dao with all his strength.
As one of the ultimate avenues in chaos, Guixu Avenue can reach half a step to the realm of Hongmeng.
Such a supreme enemy has transcended the Avenue of Chaos. It is even more shocking and terrifying than the Avenue of Infinity, and may be regarded as the real Avenue of Hongmeng.
Even with Chen Nianzhi's understanding, he has tried to understand the Guixu Avenue over the years, but it has always been difficult to fully understand its true meaning.
Time and space, chaos, primitiveness, return to ruins, destruction, fate, calamity, cause and effect, and all the other supreme grand avenues, one can directly reach the third realm of chaos, and it is even possible to have a glimpse of the grand realm.
But this great avenue is too difficult to comprehend. In the entire Seven Domains of Nanyuan, I have never heard of anyone being able to comprehend even the slightest trace of it.
Even the Chaos Emperors have not realized the power of such a great way.
Shihuang and Zhulong claim to have comprehended the avenues of space and time, but they are only branches of the two avenues.
They have not even comprehended the real avenues of time and space, let alone merged the two avenues into the avenue of time and space.
Now that I have obtained the Guixu Bead, which is an innate treasure, and can manifest the complete divine form of Guixu Dao in person, this opportunity can be said to be the only one in history.
Chen Nianzhi did not dare to waste any of it, and immediately realized the power of the great path wholeheartedly.
Time flies so fast, and tens of millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Until this day, Chen Nianzhi slowly woke up after enlightenment, and finally showed a trace of trance.
"It turns out that this is Guixu Avenue."
Chen Nianzhi spoke slowly, and with the flick of his sleeves, a divine pattern of the Guixu Avenue slowly emerged. After continuous interlacing and fusion, it finally turned into a divine chain of the Avenue.
Guixuzhu trembled slightly, and after a long time he said, "I'm afraid your understanding is even more amazing than you expected?"
"Is this really the gain of Hongmeng Purple Qi? Is Hongmeng Purple Qi really so heaven-defying?"
Guixuzhu was a little skeptical, and for a moment she felt a little unbelievable.
Because it only took Chen Nianzhi tens of millions of years to comprehend a divine chain of the Guixu Avenue, which was not far behind the original form of his Guixu Bead.
Chen Nianzhi did not answer, but just smiled and said: "This time I have comprehended the Guixu Avenue. My sixth true spirit pattern and ninth natal magical power may be able to be cultivated."
