Ji Xiang didn't mince words, and the Donghua Fairy was taken aback, then chuckled, "You want me to live and die with the current dynasty? I remember you said that the world is no longer the Han Dynasty."

Becoming a Guoxian (State Immortal), a celestial master worshiped by a great power, would indeed provide a huge boost to her power, greatly aiding her recovery after leaving this place. However, it wouldn't come without a price. As the word "guo" (state) implies, becoming a Guoxian would mean sharing the nation's fortune and bearing corresponding responsibilities. Once the nation collapses, the Guoxian's strength would plummet, and a large portion of their fortune would be lost.

It can be said that risks and benefits coexist. In times of a thriving dynasty, it's normal to have hundreds of Guoxian, but in the late stages of a dying nation, any remaining Guoxian must truly love that dynasty deeply.

Adding flowers to brocade is always easier than delivering charcoal in the snow.

"I have no understanding of the new dynasty. Although you have shown me great kindness, it's too risky to tie my new life to this unknown dynasty."

"However, it's not impossible to ask for my help. I just have one condition."

Although the Donghua Fairy initially refused, her eyes soon sparkled again. She changed her tone and began to haggle with Ji Xiang.

"You also know that helping a dying dynasty carries a lot of risk..."

Ji Xiang glanced around. The clouds and mist were hazy, and there was no sound of scriptures being recited. He said casually, "The Donghua Immortal Sutra?"

"Ah, exactly!"

The Donghua Fairy's delicate face lit up, her willow eyebrows raised, and her eyes radiated divine light. She smiled happily.

"I'm here with the Lingbao Heavenly Lord, competing for the Donghua Immortal Sutra. If you help me get the page of golden text that belongs to my master, not only will I become a Guoxian, but I can also transfer the control of this True Spirit Primacy Chart to you entirely."

"The only condition is to fight against the Lingbao Heavenly Lord."

Ji Xiang chuckled, "How can I? The Lingbao Heavenly Lord helped me deduce scriptures and even pointed out the location of the Jade God Disc. It puts me in a difficult position."

"Why don't you both come with me? Why fight? Immortal scriptures are powerful, but as long as the scriptures on them can be copied, there's no need to fight."

The Donghua Fairy was very surprised. "Copy? How is that possible! The so-called immortal scripture is so named because it cannot be copied by any means!"

"Oh? Is that a thing? I just created an immortal scripture that can be viewed and copied by mortals."

Ji Xiang was also surprised. Was that really a setting?

"What did you say?" The Donghua Fairy was shocked. But soon, she adjusted her mindset. The girl circled Ji Xiang, shaking her head repeatedly. "Only a half-step to immortality, and you can compile immortal scriptures, let alone for mortals to copy? I've never heard of such a thing!"

Ji Xiang laughed. "So, the ancients are not as good as the present people!"

The Donghua Fairy choked on this sentence and was speechless for a moment, her mind buzzing. She took a few steps back, put her hands behind her back, acting like an old woman. She tilted her head, frowned, and stared at Ji Xiang for a long time. Seeing that Ji Xiang didn't seem to be lying, she couldn't help but suppress her curiosity.

"Really? What grade of immortal scripture is it? What's it called?"

"Ah, it's not exactly one fixed book. Jue Pin Da Ling Shi Jing, Yingshi Jijiufang Fifteen Books, Zhen Wu Er Shang Shu... well, it's just a part of it. As for the grade, I guess it's seventh, sixth, fifth, etc."

The Donghua Fairy was stunned in place, her mind blank.

She didn't believe that so many years of fighting could be solved by Ji Xiang with a simple copy.

Mortals being able to copy immortal scriptures? What a joke, how could such a thing exist?

As if feeling the need to salvage some face for the immortal scriptures, the Donghua Fairy immediately raised her finger after regaining her senses, pointing at Ji Xiang and emphasizing her words with a heavier tone.

"Okay! Whether what you say is true or false, I've never heard of these scriptures. But even if what you say is so miraculous, what you want to copy now is a page of golden text, one page of the Donghua Jade Scripture!"

"The Donghua Jade Scripture is not something that can be copied so easily, and you also know that the content of this scripture only appears once or twice when the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord preaches! It's a formless thing, the words are engraved in the void, like a wish, like a dream, how are you going to copy it?"

Ji Xiang stroked his chin, his eyes looking towards the high clouds in the distance, the old site where the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord lectured.

"I have a guess. Perhaps the immortal scriptures spoken by this Yuanshi Heavenly Lord are copied things?"

"Ah?" The Donghua Fairy was stunned again.

But soon, she seemed to realize something. She touched her forehead and also looked towards the high clouds in the distance.

In the True Spirit Primacy Chart, time has lost its meaning. After an unknown amount of time, colorful rainbows appeared in the sky, meaning that the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord was about to begin preaching, and the phantom images of the gods and immortals went one after another.

At that familiar Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, Ji Xiang saw the empty second seat, which was so familiar.

"Here it comes."

Ji Xiang looked at the second seat and said to the Donghua Fairy, "Whether it's you or the Lingbao Heavenly Lord, you are both plundering the scriptures in the Primacy Chart, and the original copy of these scriptures cannot be here. So, as you said, if immortal scriptures cannot be copied, do you really think that these classics are copied, or even stripped, from the original scriptures?"

The Donghua Fairy was also uneasy. She looked at Ji Xiang beside her and said uncertainly, "You said that the Dao characteristics mastered by the Shangqing Nine Ancestors are on you, which means that these immortal scriptures were really copied by him and then stored here?"

"It's really amazing. It turns out that the Jade Purity Hidden Book is not the most important thing you got from here. I guessed that your sudden disappearance was related to the Shangqing Nine Ancestors. I never thought..."

While the two were talking, the clouds rose and swirled, and the image of the Lingbao Heavenly Lord rose from the second heaven to the first heaven. Ji Xiang looked forward, and the Lingbao Heavenly Lord also turned his head immediately, his empty eyes meeting Ji Xiang's gaze.

After a long time, he shook his head and conjured a sword shape with his hand.

Ji Xiang cupped his hands. "The Qingping Sword has not yet been brought back. However, this return to the Primacy Chart is to resolve some matters. Next, I will go to retrieve the Qingping Sword."

"It's just that this trip is dangerous. I wonder if the Heavenly Lord can come out of the chart to help?"

Ji Xiang asked directly. The Lingbao Heavenly Lord stared at Ji Xiang for a while, but showed no expression, and turned around and sat down.

The preaching began.

Five-colored clouds and rosy light appeared in the sky, and lotus flowers emerged on the ground. The world-renowned scriptures once again resounded throughout this world, and that familiar enlightenment surged into his heart again. The Lingbao Heavenly Lord still plundered the enlightenment of others as in the past to enrich his image.

And here, Ji Xiang had already begun to operate the Three Teachings True Meaning.

Those enlightenments turned into illusory scriptures, and Ji Xiang sacrificed all these enlightened wishes to the Three Teachings True Meaning and burned them to ashes!

And the content of the sacrifice was very direct, it was to copy another page of golden text!
