Chapter 2 Reading can also be read as a great emperor
"It works? Are you sure?"
Xiao Yue'er blinked her big eyes, ran up to Zhang Zifan, pointed at the bamboo shoots and stove beside her and said:
"Then... can reading make the stove burner? Can reading make today's dinner familiar?"
"..."
"Giggle~ slightly~ quack~ hee hee~"
Zhang Zifan spread his hands, unable to do anything to this weird little Yue'er.
Holding the ancient scroll in hand, he walked into the simple bedroom and began to study it again with the help of dim light.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named.
Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, Named, the mother of all things.
Therefore, always have no desire in order to observe its wonderfulness; always have desire in order to observe its wonderfulness..."
For Zhang Zifan, a bookworm, Xiaoyue'er has long been accustomed to his dullness.
Some people may think that being a nerd is boring, but in Xiao Yue'er's opinion, being able to stay by Zhang Zifan's side is a great happiness.
Her identity as a Swordsman has been determined since she was born, and she, Xiao Yue'er, never dared to ask for anything extravagantly.
The Sword Attendant is a slave. As long as the master is willing, let alone freedom, he cannot control even life and death.
The Iron Law of Jiange:
From the moment the Sword Attendant chooses his master, his life is tied to his master.
When one is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and when one is harmed...the sword servant himself will be harmed!
At a critical moment, the sword servant must use his own life to hold off the enemy, explode his Dantian, die generously, and win a chance for his master to escape.
Of course, becoming a swordsman is not without some benefits.
If you are lucky and have a powerful master to protect you, the Sword Attendant can walk sideways in the Sword Pavilion and even the entire Tianlong Continent.
Finding a master with talent and potential is what every swordsman dreams of, except Xiao Yue'er.
Zhang Zifan has no power and is truly a nerd.
For more than ten years, I only knew how to study and not practice, which was the shame of Jiange.
Following such a useless master, if it were any other swordsmen, they would have cried for their fathers and mothers, felt sorry for themselves, and packed up their clothes and ran away in the dead of night.
But Xiao Yue'er never thought about leaving. Even in the past ten years, Zhang Zifan had tried to persuade her countless times.
As for the reason.
Only she, Xiaoyue'er, knows!
Rolling up her sleeves, picking up a kitchen knife, and grabbing a handful of rice grains from the rice vat, Xiao Yue'er walked to the chicken coop.
"Kekeke~"
There was a spiritual chicken in the cage, which Xiaoyueer accidentally caught in the woods and kept as a pet.
She has gained a lot of weight by being fed by her in the past six months, and she loves to play with chickens when she has nothing to do. She is considered Xiaoyue'er's darling.
But the spirit chicken is ferocious by nature. Even after being fed by Xiao Yue'er for half a year, it is still full of ferocity, staring fiercely at Xiao Yue'er who keeps approaching.
Just as he put his hand into the chicken coop and was about to feed rice, the spiritual chicken saw the opportunity and pecked Xiao Yue'er's wrist.
Xiao Yue'er covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in pain, so as not to disturb Zhang Zifan who was studying in the room.
When he took his hand back, his wrist had been pecked open by a spiritual chicken, and bright red blood was oozing out.
"Huh, I've been feeding you for half a year, and you still bully me!"
Xiaoyue'er grabbed the flapping chicken in the cage and found a broken kitchen knife.
Raise the knife with your hand, pluck the hair and let blood flow.
After a while, the fragrance of chicken mixed with the fragrance of bamboo shoots filled the entire bamboo building.
...
【bite!】
[The check-in location has been updated for more than ten years. Is the host checking in? 】
While Zhang Zifan was finishing reading a volume of the Tao Te Ching, the system became impatiently confused again:
[Host, I’m not talking about you, you were designed to be killed by your beloved empress, or you were besieged to death by three great emperors!]
Looking at Zhang Zifan whose face turned dark, the system quickly changed its words:
[With this system, as long as you sign in and upgrade, and complete the tasks issued by this system step by step, it will not take more than a thousand years... No! It will not take a hundred years! Ahem, it will not take a few decades...]
[You will definitely be able to return to the imperial realm and compete with the empress and other three great emperors, fighting till the end of the world.]
【And all this only needs to start with a small sign-in!】
"Don't sign!"
Zhang Zifan didn't even think twice and once again ruthlessly rejected the system's kneeling and licking.
Closing the book in his hand, his thoughts drifted away, and the memories of the previous life jumped into his mind. The name of Empress Ji Jiufeng was like a huge stone smashed into the calm lake, causing waves to bloom.
In the last life, Zhang Zifan entered Taoism through writing and achieved the status of a great emperor. He became the leader of the righteous Tao and dominated the world forever.
But the way of heaven collapsed, order was chaotic, and the supreme being in the restricted area of life started an imperial war.
The restricted area of life uses supreme magic power to transform into a world-destroying torrent, causing the stars hanging in the sky to fall to the ground and the water of the four seas to hang upside down.
The sun and the moon sink, the mountains and rivers are broken, and they want to destroy everything in the world and purify the world!!
When the mainland is sinking, the good and the evil, who have been at odds for thousands of years, join forces. The good is led by the book emperor Zhang Zifan, and the evil is led by the empress Ji Jiufeng. They put aside their grudges and hatred and work together to kill the restricted area of life.
In this battle, the great sage fell and the emperor shed blood.
Even the supreme being as powerful as the one within the restricted area of life was broken into several pieces by Zhang Zifan and Ji Jiufeng with their supreme magic power.
The two held candles together and discussed Taoism together, and experienced together in ancient ruins.
During the trials of life and death, feelings continue to heat up.
But when the final battle broke out against the supreme being in the restricted area of life, Empress Ji Jiufeng joined forces with the other two great emperors in the righteous path to sneak attack Zhang Zifan from behind.
The two forces of good and evil joined forces, and the three great emperors cooperated with the supreme existence in the restricted area of life. Under siege by the three forces, the book emperor Zhang Zifan was outnumbered and died in a bloody death!
Then his soul traveled through the past and present, reincarnated, was noticed by the ancestor of Jiange, and was brought back to Jiange.
The ancestor took a fancy to Zhang Zifan's cultivation aptitude and designated him as the sword master of the Jiange Pavilion. He deliberately cultivated him. All the skills, elixirs and magic weapons in the sword pavilion were available to Zhang Zifan.
But in the past ten years, Zhang Zifan has never used any skills, elixirs or magic weapons in the sword pavilion, except for leaving Xiao Yue'er as his sword servant.
Of course, except for the room full of books.
Zhang Zifan, who had high hopes for him, did not do his job properly and did not practice swordsmanship. He only knew how to read useless books. The elders of Jiange and the master of Jiange were extremely disappointed with him, which was the biggest shame of Jiange.
Jianzi's identity was deprived, and his skills, elixirs, and magic weapons were no longer open to Zhang Zifan. If it weren't for his ancestor's face, Zhang Zifan would have been expelled from the sword pavilion long ago.
His identity and status plummeted, but Zhang Zifan was still immersed in the world described in the books. Before he figured out certain things, Zhang Zifan did not want to embark on the so-called "cultivation path."
Why did the Demon Empress Ji Jiufeng kill him?
Why did the two great emperors of the Righteous Way, once my best friends, choose to join forces with the Demonic Empress?
Also, what is the real purpose of the so-called "purification of the world" of the supreme being in the restricted area of life?!
What's more, if the third imperial war, the Immortal War, were to start again, it would be another catastrophe for the human world.
There was blood floating in the oars, and corpses littered the fields.
Even the nine heavens and ten lands will sink and collapse because of the imperial war!
This was unbearable for Zhang Zifan, who entered Taoism through writing and specialized in Confucianism!
The three top forces of the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path and the Forbidden Zone of Life suddenly joined forces. Even if Zhang Zifan restored his cultivation as an emperor in his previous life, he would not be able to defeat them.
unless......
Go further!!
"Huh? It smells so good!"
After withdrawing his thoughts and putting down the book in his hand, Zhang Zifan pushed open the simple door.
"Master, how about you try this chicken soup?"
As soon as Xiaoyue'er put the food on the table, she looked up and saw Zhang Zifan pushing the door open and quickly handed him a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
The chicken is tender and the bamboo shoots are fragrant.
After one sip, you will feel the fragrance lingering on your lips and teeth, filled with spiritual energy, and feeling warm to the very bones of your body.
"Xiaoyue'er, where did this chicken come from?"
In my impression, ever since I was deprived of my identity as a swordsman and driven to a deserted mountain cliff, let alone meat, I couldn't even guarantee the rice in the rice vat.
"It's the spiritual chicken I raised."
While Xiao Yue'er was enjoying her meal, she pointed nonchalantly at the empty chicken cage behind her.
"Isn't this... this spiritual chicken your pet?"
Zhang Zifan was stunned, and quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, shocked.
Why do you even eat your own pets? This...this is not what a gentleman does!
"Master, you've already eaten, why do you need to pay so much attention?"
Xiao Yue'er, who was familiar with Zhang Zifan's character, chirped and said:
"Master, I'm not telling you, you scholars just love to get into trouble."
"Although it is true that this spiritual chicken is my pet, I have been feeding it for half a year, and it still pecks me when it is fine."
While talking, Xiao Yue'er also showed the wound she got from being pecked by the spiritual chicken early in the morning:
"I'm so kind to it, but it still pecks me. If you don't kill it and eat its meat, why don't you... keep it for the New Year?"
"Master, I don't care about righteousness, morality, or etiquette. Anyway, I will be nice to whoever is nice to me! If anyone bullies me, I... I will kill him with a hoe...
..”
Afraid that Zhang Zifan would say that she was rude, Xiaoyueer quickly lowered her head and drank the chicken soup.
Zhang Zifan on the side was completely stunned. He had read thousands of books and was trapped in the circle he had drawn.
yes!
If you read too many books, you will inevitably become a bit bookish and like to get into trouble.
It is good to repay kindness when there is kindness and revenge when there is hatred.
Since the Demon Empress, the Righteous Emperor and the Life Forbidden Zone have joined forces to besiege themselves, they can just kill them back.
Obsessing over reasons, moral etiquette, and the righteousness of the common people is just an increase in worries!
If you are going to kill yourself, why are you talking so much?
If you kill him, you will die!
Putting down the chicken soup in his hand, Zhang Zifan was suddenly enlightened when he wanted to understand this truth.
He pushed open the door and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Inside the house, the road roared and the rules were on full display.
The rhyme of the Tao flourishes, and the power of the law entwines.
The void continued to tremble, cracks appeared, and there was a loud "bang" sound, and the void shattered.
A world seems to be born inside the small room, where the sun and moon rise and fall, and the stars move.
Invincible Sword Sect, Tianhuo Temple, and Great Thunder Sound Temple!
The major forces in Southern Xinjiang, Beihuang, Xishu, Dongchuan and Zhongzhou!
With just one breath, an invisible storm was formed, sweeping across the Tianlong Continent, absorbing the spiritual energy from all the holy places on the continent, and transporting it crazily to Zhang Zifan in the small room through the endless void.
Monks in Tianlong Continent are divided into eight realms, and each realm is divided into ten heavens, which are:
Qi refining, body training, Yuan Dan, and soul.
Spiritual King, Great Sage, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor!
The master of the Sword Pavilion is a master of the fifth level of divine soul.
Zhang Zifan absorbed the spiritual energy of the entire Tianlong Continent in one breath, and refined it for his own use in a single thought. After suppressing his cultivation for two lifetimes, he finally began to break through.
Refining Qi to the next level!
...
The tenth level of Qi refining!
.....
Strengthen your body to the next level!
...
The tenth level of divine soul!
...
Spirit King Tenth Heaven!
...
The Tenth Heavenly Heaven of the Great Sage!
...
Quasi-Emperor Tenth Heaven!
...
Zhang Zifan, who broke through the tenth level of the Quasi-Emperor, did not stop there, but went all out to hit the pinnacle of humanity!
With a loud bang, Zhang Zifan once again entered Taoism with a book and broke through to the imperial realm.
Achieve the status of a great emperor and stand at the pinnacle of humanity.
