Zhaodi Quan's body was wrapped in a faint layer of purple gas, and then he gently opened the cover of the heavenly book in his hand.
A pure and extreme book aura burst out, the purple energy on Zhao Di's body was slightly blown away, he ran the Hunyuan Secret Art for a moment before stabilizing the purple energy on his body again.
It's indeed the legendary treasure of Confucianism - the Scripture of Heaven without Words!
It's just that the aura contained in it can achieve such an astonishing effect. Unfortunately, this is only a manual of tactics, not a treasure for attacking enemies, otherwise, if Guan Hai used this treasure to deal with him, he wouldn't have had a good time.
Zhao Di concentrated her mind and looked carefully, through a layer of bookish aura, and indeed saw a sheet of white paper with no writing on it.
It's indeed a wordless heavenly book!
Zhao Di was not in a hurry, he had explored the usage of this wordless heavenly book in Guan Hai Ju Shi's divine consciousness.
At this moment, he slightly stirred up a faint layer of bookish aura on his body, slowly colliding with the aura emanating from the book.
At first, the two auras had nothing to do with each other. After contact, they bounced off each other, but under Zhao Di's patient comprehension, the two began to frequently come into contact with each other.
With a "huff", Zhao Di's book breath and the heavenly book's aura finally merged, transforming into a single entity. Amidst several soft "puffs", his book breath completely fused with the heavenly book's aura.
At this time, Zhao Di concentrated his mind and looked up at the Heavenly Book again. Sure enough, he saw ancient characters the size of grains of rice.
"The Carefree Traveler"! These are the only three ancient characters in the first line of the ancient text, and also the name of the entire Heavenly Book's recorded method.
Zhao suppressed the wild joy in his heart and carefully savored every word.
After finishing the first page, Zhao Di had already spent a whole hour!
This place is not a place to stay for long, and the night is long and dreamy. He had to speed up, but it was just a dead memorization, without seeking understanding, all the way through.
Half a time later, Zhao Di closed the Heavenly Book, his emotions surging!
The book has a total of nine pages, with the content of the first six pages already revealed, but the last three pages are still unknown.
It's not because Zhao Di's cultivation is too low or the book's aura on his body is insufficient, but because this heavenly book has only been opened to its first six pages by Guan Hai.
Opening this wordless heavenly book requires a tremendous amount of Book Spirit, and the amount of Book Spirit each Confucian cultivator possesses is fixed. If the Book Spirit of over 10,000 Confucian cultivators were to be poured into the heavenly book all at once, it would indeed open quickly, but these cultivators would likely need decades or even centuries of arduous cultivation to recover their lost Book Spirit.
So, Guan Hai didn't infuse his own Book of Breath into the Heavenly Book to try and open it, nor did he plan on having a junior disciple do it for him. After all, the amount of Book of Breath required was enormous, and if too many low-ranking disciples were involved, this matter would eventually be exposed to the world, and then the secret that he possessed the blank Heavenly Book might be made public!
He was just a late-stage Jiedan cultivator, and his status was only that of the Grand Elder of a lower-ranking sect in the Hundred Sects Alliance. If it were to be known that he possessed such a precious treasure, he would definitely be suspected of being a traitor and would soon lose his life because of this.
In the end, he adopted the mortal's Book of Breath. Although mortals have a very low probability of being born with the Book of Breath, only about one in a hundred or one in a thousand, and the amount of Book of Breath contained in mortals is often ten times less than that of lower-level Confucian scholars, but the number of mortals is extremely large, so it can be said that the supply is endless. Therefore, over the past hundred years, he has also relied on the power of the sect to quietly collect a total of 100,000 mortals with the Book of Breath and use cruel secret techniques to extract their Book of Breath, opening the first six pages of the Heavenly Book.
These six pages of heavenly book record a set of kung fu rhymes called "Xiao Yao Xing", which is said to be a set of kung fu created by ancient powerful Taoist priests based on the Taoist law, specifically describing a body movement step method called "Xiao Yao Step".
Six-page Heavenly Book, recording the first six layers of Xianyao Step's Gongfa. The first layer requires at least a cultivator in the Condensing Dan period and with a hint of scholarly aura to barely practice.
The second and third layers require practitioners in the middle to late stages of forming the elixir, while the fourth to sixth layers can only be practiced by practitioners who have reached the stage of forming the yuan infant or above.
Looking at the footwork used by Guan Hai and Zhao Di during their great battle, it is exactly the appearance of the second layer of cultivation of Xianyao after completion. The body shape moves and changes unpredictably, rolling and jumping quickly and agilely, even more flexible and harder to capture than the speed of flying with a magic tool or treasure.
Between heaven and earth, you are free to roam! With this step method, ordinary treasure attacks should pose no threat.
However, this carefree step can also be driven at will, except that it must rely on the breath of the book volume, and it also consumes a lot of physical strength, and cannot let a condensate cultivator continuously cast for too long.
Zhao Di carefully put the Heavenly Book back into the jade box, took out a few prohibition talismans and stuck them on, then put it into the storage ring!
"It's getting late, let's go before dawn breaks!" Zhao said to Ernu.
Qianyun Sect's trip, he originally just wanted to explore and rescue these ordinary people, but unexpectedly gained so much. "Is it true that good people get good rewards?" Zhao thought with a smile, but he wouldn't take this idea seriously. To be a good person, one needs corresponding strength; if his strength was slightly weaker or if he wasn't careful, he might not have come to do good deeds, but rather to deliver treasures to evil people!
No matter how you act, whether it's evil or heroic, you must speak with strength!
Zhao Di and the two women cleaned up all the traces in the main hall, then quietly took the unconscious mortal and Guan Hai Ju Shi down the mountain peak, and soon stopped at a secluded corner somewhere.
"Master, why don't you immediately kill this evil thief?" You Ruo pointed at Guan Hai and asked.
"He has a slightly different divine consciousness, mostly because he still has his original life lantern. If I'm not mistaken, once it's extinguished, the Qianyun Sect will know that their elder is in trouble. At that time, the sect's grand formation will seal off the island, and with these few ordinary people, we'll have a hard time escaping Qianyun Island." Zhao Di explained, then smiled at You Ruo and said: "With your array techniques and divine abilities, this ordinary mountain-sealing restriction in front of us shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"Hmm, it's indeed very ordinary, but to sneak out from here without being detected, still requires some effort, probably need to spend half a time unit!" You Ruo said after carefully checking around.
"Half a time? That's fast enough!" Zhao Di nodded in satisfaction.
An hour later, Zhao Di and You Lan appeared on a deserted hillside, surrounded by a hidden array.
"Master, I have done as you instructed and placed those mortals in the mortal town's streets. They will awaken at dawn," said Youlan.
"Alright, got it!" Zhao Di's hands were forming a strange hand seal, and streams of spiritual energy were pouring into the head of Guan Hai Ju Shi, who was still unconscious.
"Is the master going to extract all the Qi from this person's book?" You Ruo asked.
"Not bad, return his own way to him! The breath of the book volume of the immortal cultivator is even more pure and thick, and it's easier to extract. Let this guy add a bit of strength to the last three pages of the wordless heavenly book before he dies!" Zhao Di said coldly: "Hehe, as a Confucian elder in the later stage of forming the elixir, I'm afraid the breath of the book volume on his body is thousands of times that of an ordinary person!"
One by one, obscure and unintelligible incantations were loudly recited from Zhao's mouth, clearly with powerful words and sentences, but listening to them gave people a chilling and eerie feeling!
A series of mysterious techniques shot out from Zhao Di's fingertips, hitting Guan Hai's body and triggering a layer of faint white light. In the white light, various sizes of text floated in and out, flowing and fluttering about, which was exactly what happened when the Book of Breath was triggered.
Zhao Di carefully took out the wordless heavenly book again and placed it about a foot above the head of Guan Hai Ju Shi.
"Go!" Zhao Di shouted, his hands grasping the spell seal with force, and the white light on Guan Hai's body mixed with various texts, all surging into the Heavenly Book, as if a clay ox entering the sea, being absorbed by the Heavenly Book clean and neat.
Soon, the white light on Guan Hai's body grew weaker and weaker, with fewer and fewer words contained within.
A moment later, the white light was completely absorbed by the Heavenly Book, and Guan Hai's residence also immediately died! The breath of the book volume in the Confucian divine power and the vast and upright energy are all closely related to life. Once they are thoroughly taken away by force, they will die on the spot.
"Go!" Zhao Di put away the Heavenly Book and shot out a fireball, turning Guan Hai's corpse into ashes.
Youlan's You Ruo also mastered the art of retracting arrays, and drilled into Zhao Di's large sleeves.
Zhao Di immediately transformed into a blue light and headed straight for the transmission array on Qianyun Island.
At the same time, in a grand hall somewhere within the Qianyun Sect, a young cultivator in the Foundation Building stage suddenly discovered that the Primordial Soul Lamp in front of him was growing dimmer and dimmer, until it finally went out!
"Elder! Elder is in trouble!" The young man shouted loudly, and at the same time took out a bamboo tube and flew to report to a certain elder.
It wasn't long before the entire Qianyun Sect was abuzz with the news. The sect's number one cultivator, a senior elder in the late stages of forming his elixir core, had mysteriously died! After the initial shock, everyone felt a sense of unease and insecurity.
Soon, some elders of the Qianyun Sect made arrangements and activated the sect's grand formation, not allowing anyone to pass through. At the same time, they sent orders to the Xiuxianfang Market on Qianyun Island, where the transmission array was only allowed to enter but not exit.
It was soon discovered that at the top of Liushui Peak, in a certain cave where the Elder often went, there were some signs of a fight between high-ranking cultivators, and faintly, the aura of the Elder's technique. It was inferred that someone had harmed the Elder here.
The truth is getting closer and closer, but the body of the elder can't be found, and the real culprit is still unknown.
Qianyun Zong gradually locked the target of the investigation on the high-ranking cultivators above the Condensation stage who entered and exited Qianyun Island before and after the incident, but still had no results.
At this time, Zhao Di had already arrived at Fangzhang Xian Island and soon passed through the transmission array of Fangzhang Xian Island to arrive on No. 1 Island of the Foreign Star.
