Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 197 The Celestial Lord's Task
The later parts no longer existed.
Originally, Lingbao Tianzun only wrote up to Lesson Eleven, but for some reason, he became active again and helped Ji Xiang write up to Lesson Seventeen. He no longer taught the subsequent lessons.
Lesson Seventeen: The Song of the Three Realms Demon Kings.
The first paragraph was actually the *Duren Jing*!
"Once upon a time, in the azure heavens of Shibi Luotian, the Great Fuli Earth!"
This had a huge connection with Yuanshi Tianzun, causing Ji Xiang to be full of reverie, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only temporarily suppress his thoughts.
After Lesson Seventeen was written by Lingbao Tianzun, it was engraved in Ji Xiang's spirit and would not disappear. Lingbao Tianzun stopped his actions, and Ji Xiang also completed the cultivation of Lesson Twelve.
Starting from Lesson Thirteen, he couldn't just cultivate in isolation anymore.
The cultivation requirement for Lesson Thirteen, the Chapter of Mighty Spirits, was that after finishing Lesson Twelve, one must personally subdue enough evil demons and heretics to unlock the secret texts of Lesson Thirteen and continue cultivation!
"I finally have my own great collection of scriptures."
The appearance of the Yuqing Hidden Scripture was indeed an unexpected surprise for Ji Xiang. It was much more precious than all the treasures he had obtained before, and all this gift came from Lingbao Tianzun. He also had to thank the Donghua Fairy. These two snipe and clam fought, and he got a bargain for nothing.
"Thank you, Fairy, thank you, Tianzun!"
After finishing his cultivation, he thanked the Fairy first.
After all, if Donghua Fairy hadn't fought with Lingbao Tianzun, this good thing wouldn't have fallen on his head.
Yan Jingzhu's mouth twitched, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, but even so, she was still beautiful.
After all, she was an ancient fairy, and her beauty was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Lingbao Tianzun didn't seem interested in who was thanked first. He saw that Ji Xiang had finished his cultivation, and at this moment, he flicked his palm, and a phantom sword body appeared. Then, the heavens and the earth rumbled, and a voice seemed to be arranging a task for Ji Xiang.
That sword was the Qingping Sword.
Lingbao Tianzun was telling Ji Xiang that the sword form of the Qingping Sword was not on the sword, and he wanted Ji Xiang to bring this sword to him.
Being able to enter the True Spirit Rank Chart was the primary condition for seeing him. Although he didn't intend to teach Ji Xiang anything at first, now that Ji Xiang had obtained the True Scripture and became a Yuqing Heaven cultivator, he was equivalent to the Shangqing Patriarch.
After all, the patriarchs of Shangqing were all Yuqing cultivators.
"There's no problem with that. Tianzun helped me get the great collection. I reciprocate. This sword is originally Tianzun's property, so it should be returned to Tianzun."
It seemed that the thing that the Shangqing Sect asked him to do had now turned into repaying a favor. This was natural and should be repaid.
Speaking of which, Ji Xiang thought that he had a treasure related to Lingbao Tianzun.
So, the Golden Strike Awl appeared.
Sure enough, Lingbao Tianzun reacted.
There was another burst of rumbling between heaven and earth. A treasure map appeared in the void, but the vast mountains and rivers were not the appearance of the surface world, but were infinitely empty and vast, and had endless divine mountains and great rivers!
Written on it were the Ten Continents and Three Islands!
"The Ten Continents and Three Islands, this is the Hidden World!"
Sure enough, what the blank divine tablet said was true, and the Jade Divine磬paired with the Golden Strike Awl was in the Ten Continents and Three Islands.
He didn't know where Emperor Jiajing got the Golden Strike Awl.
Lingbao Tianzun pointed out a place for Ji Xiang, in Liuzhou among the Ten Continents. This continent had many sword immortals.
Sword immortals valued killing and lacked reason. The Jade Divine磬 that could comprehend the Dao was in this gathering place of sword immortals. Looking at some of the ancient texts that appeared on the illusory divine map, Ji Xiang was a little speechless.
In fact, it was fine not to take this thing. Ji Xiang was just casually inquiring, after all, he was still very tempted when he saw the attached description of the Golden Strike Awl.
It seemed that he had to remember to hide the Golden Strike Awl if he entered the Hidden World and arrived at the Ten Continents and Three Islands.
Lingbao Tianzun only needed the Qingping Sword to return to its place, but Donghua Fairy hesitated to speak.
"Does the Fairy have any unspeakable secrets?"
Ji Xiang already felt that there was something wrong with Donghua Fairy, but after all, the other party had saved him once or twice, and judging from her relationship with Lingbao Tianzun, it was not difficult to infer one or two things.
Ji Xiang: "Perhaps you need me to do something, such as leaving this world?"
"I had a guess before."
Ji Xiang said playfully, "Could it be that this Lingbao Tianzun is the real protector of this world, and you are an outsider?"
"However, you seem to have the power to protect this world as well."
Donghua Fairy Yan Jingzhu did not speak for a long time, and in the end, everything turned into a light sigh.
"Lingbao Tianzun is the protector, and I am also the protector. The only difference is who came first. When I entered the True Spirit Rank Chart, Lingbao Tianzun was already here. I don't know where he came from, but I know that he must have something he wants to get."
"Coincidentally, I have it too."
Lingbao Tianzun looked at her. Both sides knew what the other was thinking. What they were fighting for was naturally the core content of the Donghua Immortal Scripture.
However, the Immortal Scripture that Yan Jingzhu comprehended was too low to touch the core of the Donghua Immortal Scripture. However, she had heard Qing Tongjun talk about part of the original text, so she knew the original text but could not produce any insights. Lingbao Tianzun could easily produce insights but did not know the original text.
"I promised one condition to the Nine Ancestors of Shangqing in order to prevent Lingbao Tianzun from comprehending the Immortal Scripture, so that my soul could return here. Thus, my remnant soul was able to linger here, and what I have to do is to interfere with Lingbao Tianzun."
"I am to prevent my master's Immortal Scripture from falling into the hands of others. Lingbao Tianzun is the other half of the master of this world, and I am borrowing the power of the Nine Ancestors of Shangqing. After all, the True Spirit Rank Chart was originally made to seal a page of the Immortal Scripture."
Ji Xiang could not determine whether what the other party said was true or false, but it was true that this fairy had no malice.
Moreover, according to this...
"The True Spirit Rank Chart, the immortal ranks inside, are to cover up or suppress some non-existent or unreasonable powerhouses?"
"Then Lingbao Tianzun may not be Lingbao Tianzun."
Under the premise that Yuanshi Tianzun's form and spirit cannot be occupied, Lingbao Tianzun's form and spirit is a good carrier, but is Lingbao Tianzun's rank really that low?
Instead of entrusting it to Lingbao Tianzun, wouldn't the third-ranked Taiji Emperor and the fourth-ranked Taishang Dao Lord be better? If it was just to listen to the lecture, the fourth heaven's Taishang Dao Lord, that is, Laozi's form and spirit, would be enough.
"I don't know who he is, that's true. I don't know what his prototype looks like, and I don't care."
Yan Jingzhu looked at Lingbao Tianzun at this time. Just now, the other party also helped her without a doubt. She had been fighting wits with him for so many years, but it was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot. This Tianzun had never really taken her seriously, but had given her a certain respect in the Rank Chart.
"He should be a person of morality."
Lingbao Tianzun was noncommittal and did not respond.
He just sat down and continued to listen to Yuanshi Tianzun's lecture.
Ji Xiang asked Yan Jingzhu, "Then, are you planning to go out? You seem to have gotten benefits from me."
Although Yan Jingzhu really wanted to leave, her mission had not ended, so she could only say with disappointment:
"I can't go out until I have comprehended the complete Immortal Scripture. The outside world is actually not as good as here. Birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hate, and desire, not getting what you want, and being separated from your loved ones. Mortals have these emotions, but after becoming immortals and ancestors, even these emotions disappear... Supreme Oblivion..."
"Comprehension? You're just leeching off the scripture."
Ji Xiang said inappropriately, which naturally aroused her anger:
"You?! How can you talk like that! Alright, is there anything else you need? If you don't want to stay, I can send you out."
Ji Xiang shook his head: "No, there's one more thing."
Indeed, it was not over yet.
The *Five Teeth Heavenly Book*, *Daoji Scripture*, *Underworld Cave Divine Scripture*, *Central Jade Book*, and a sentence obtained from the *Middle Scripture of Immortals*, including the *Yuqing Hidden Text*, and even Ji Xiang becoming a Yuqing Heaven cultivator... These legendary scriptures, classics, spells, and cultivation methods brought Ji Xiang extremely powerful power and good fortune, but...
Their appearance did not restore the blank divine tablet to normal.
This divine tablet was still in Ji Xiang's body, emitting a strong white light. It was still resonating with this highest Enlightenment Heaven.
It seemed that what it was waiting for had not appeared until now, even after Lingbao Tianzun appeared to pass on the scripture.
