Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 537 Earth Book
Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, nine thousand years have passed.

In nine thousand years, ten thousand years, how many changes have taken place?
Beauty fades, beauties leave, only the gods remain, only a little bit of precipitation!

In the Tongtian Secret Realm, the battle that has lasted for ten thousand years has reached the final moment and is about to end.

"Book from the ground!"

Xu Yang and three others sat together in an immortal formation. The Wu Ji apricot yellow flags on their heads shone brightly, resisting the surging vitality of the Ten Thousand Mother Earths around them, and barely created a space for the four to study and discuss in the formation.

This formation is called the Ten Thousand Mothers Earth Yuan Formation. It is generated by the "Book of Earth" among the three books of Heaven, Earth and Man. The formation is filled with extremely thick Ten Thousand Mothers Earth Yuan Qi. Just one wisp of it is as heavy as a mountain, not to mention the Ten Thousand Mothers Earth Yuan Sea formed by the entire formation. The four continents of the Earth Immortals and the thousands of mountains and rivers are probably no more than this weight.

Such a heavy pressure is hard to bear for not only mortals but also immortals and gods in the realm of calamity. Even someone as strong as Xu Yang, who has deeply practiced the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, still needs to rely on the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag to survive in this formation and not be crushed into powder by the earth's energy.

If Xu Yang is like this, let alone others. From ancient times to the present, nearly a million years have passed, and the Tongtian Secret Realm has been explored by a group of immortals and gods for hundreds of thousands of years. No matter whether it is the Innate Five-Directional Flags, the Lingxi Divine Sword, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, or the God-Slaying Spear and other treasures, the mysteries have been figured out by later generations, and many imitations have been refined.

Even the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death, which are also one of the “Three Books”, have replicas in heaven and hell.

The only thing is that no one has tried to imitate this Book of the Earth, or no one has imitated it successfully.

There is no way. These three books on heaven, earth and man are not like ordinary secret treasures. Not only are they unfathomable in power, they also contain the mysteries of heaven and earth. Certain requirements must be met before one can comprehend their principles, otherwise there is no way to get in at all.

For example, the Book of Life and Death, has the ability to determine life and death. Even a True Immortal of the Nine Tribulations would be in danger of death if he entered the array. Until now, only the Lord of the Underworld, Fengdu Emperor, and the mysterious King of the Ghosts have relied on their innate advantages to enter the array, comprehend the principles, and imitated the Book of Life and Death.

This is true for human books and heavenly books as well. To this day, only the Dongsheng Heavenly Court has mastered the secret, which is the work of the Taihuang Tianzun. Others simply cannot reach it, and naturally are unable to imitate the heavenly book.

The Emperor of Fengdu is the underworld god of the ghost clan. He has an innate advantage in the ways of life and death, so he is able to understand the mysteries of the book of man.

Although Tai Huang of Heaven had no racial advantage, it was said that in order to comprehend the secrets of the Heavenly Book, he founded Dongsheng Heaven single-handedly, thereby obtaining the title of "Emperor of Heaven", and finally succeeded in replicating the List of Gods.

By the same token, the conditions for comprehending this Book of the Earth are also extremely harsh, so much so that no one has been able to refine this treasure for hundreds of thousands of years.

According to Xu Yang, to understand the Book of Earth, one must not only be proficient in the way of "Earth Movement", but also have a clear understanding of the principles of the earth.

The earth is the mother, giving birth to all things. Mud, sand, soil and rocks are just one of them. There are also plants, mountains, rivers, billions of living things, and even the sun, moon and stars, all within this "geography".

To understand the mysteries of the Book of Geography, one must first understand geography and understand the relationship between heaven and earth, mountains and water, soil and wood, and other things on earth.

As long as you understand this principle, you can enter this formation and not be oppressed by the earth's energy. Instead, you will feel like a fish in water.

By then, you will be able to calmly comprehend the mystery of the Book of Earth, and even take this treasure into your possession.

But it is easier said than done. How can we understand and comprehend geography?
Xu Yang has a great say in this regard. The methods of the Earth Gods obtained from the Black Water World coincide with the methods of this Earth Book, and they have the same effect.

The reason why he was able to enter the Wanmu Earth Formation was, firstly, due to the power of the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag, and secondly, due to the magical effect of the Earth God method.

Xu Yang had a hunch that if he could figure out the secret of the Book of Earth, he would not only be able to gain a valuable treasure, but would also be able to take his own Earth God cultivation a step further and make up for his deficiencies.

After all, this method of cultivating the Earth God was obtained from the mansion of the River God in the Black Water World. The status of the Black Water River God was too low, and the Earth God's method was not complete. Over the years, it has been cultivated through time and the characteristics of skills. Although many breakthroughs have been made, it is not perfect and there is a possibility of developing hidden dangers.

Therefore, Xu Yang attached great importance to this book of the earth. He arrived here three thousand years ago and advanced into the formation step by step.

Now, although it has not reached the point of being "like a fish in water", it has successfully penetrated into the Wanmu Earth Array and vaguely caught a glimpse of the outline of the "Book of the Earth".

In the center of the formation, where the mother energy originates, there is a piece of earth and stone, like a book, slowly rotating in this sea of ​​all-source mother energy, revealing the rhythm of heaven and earth.

It is the Book of Mountains, Seas and Earth, also known as the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth!
Xu Yang sat still, looking at the Book of Earth. The Tao flowed in his eyes, full of geographical mysteries.

What is the rhyme of Tao?

Tao means law. The so-called Tao rhyme is an expression and manifestation of the laws of the Tao.

If we use figurative observation and description, then at this moment, in Xu Yang's eyes, there are countless characters and lines turning over, leaving chaotic traces, as if to condense into an inexplicable system and structure.

This is the rhyme of Tao!
The manifestation of the Tao, the embodiment of the law!
It is disorganized because you have not yet understood it and are unable to organize it.

"Brother!"

"Three thousand years!"

"Is the power of this earth book so mysterious?"

"With your status as eldest brother, you have endured for three thousand years and still have no results?"

"After all, it is one of the three books of heaven, earth and man. I heard that in order to understand the secrets of the Heavenly Book and the Man Book, the Emperor of Tai and the Emperor of Fengdu changed their own Taoism to the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, so as to obtain the status of the Heavenly Lord and the Underworld Emperor, and then they figured out the secrets of the Heavenly Book and the Man Book."

"In that case, wouldn't you also want to reform the Wandao Academy and build a Taoist school that is compatible with the Book of the Earth?"

"This……"

Sanyun was behind, transmitting messages through telepathy, not daring to disturb.

Right here...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the immortal formation shook, the earth's energy surged, the mother energy of the earth moved like a tide, and the weight of ten thousand mountains caused the void to collapse.

"This……"

"not good!"

"Is the immortal formation broken?"

"Brother?"

Sanyun was startled and turned his eyes away quickly, but before he could say anything, he saw that the earth's energy subsided and the mother's energy disappeared like a tide.

The terrifying pressure disappeared in an instant, and the collapsed and shattered void was restored, just like the calm sea and the clear sky after the rain.

"This……"

Sanyun was shocked and confused, and didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only look at Xu Yang.

"what!"

Then, a light laugh was heard. Xu Yang stood up, the rhythm in his eyes disappeared, and he had returned to normal.

"Brother..."

Seeing this, Sanyun was even more surprised and suspicious: "It worked?"

"A little bit of gain, a little bit of gain!"

Xu Yang nodded, with a slight smile on his face that could not be concealed.

"Congratulations, brother, on your success!" Sanyun was also happy to see this and congratulated him together.

"what!"

Xu Yang smiled, looked back, looked at the earth book in the center, and then turned his gaze back: "Don't rush into anything, this trip ends here, there is still a thousand years, let's go to the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."

"Thank you, brother!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sanyun's eyes lit up and he smiled as brightly as a flower.

……

At the same time, in this world.

Inside the Qilin Palace, Xu Yang suddenly laughed, startling the beauty in his arms.

Meng Fanyin raised her head and was somewhat curious when she saw him like this: "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Xu Yang smiled and held her waist: "You have achieved your goal, how can you not be happy?"

"Oh?"

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Meng Fanyin raised her eyebrows and showed interest: "How can I achieve success?"

Xu Yang heard this, but shook his head, and said with a playful look: "It's a long story, let's celebrate first, and then tell my wife in detail!"

"What kind of celebration... Ugh!"

Meng Fanyin was startled, and before she could react, she was pressed down by the person in front of her, causing the cloud bed and jade couch to tremble and turn upside down, and an endless spring scene was staged.

……

After more than three thousand years of hard work in studying the mysteries of geography, one has finally gained some insights.

The way of writing on the ground and the way of the earth gods are indeed similar in nature.

Xu Yang integrated the two, understood the mysteries of geography, and completed the practice of earth gods.

The law of the earth gods is his important foundation. It not only provides endless life, but also can improve the environment and increase production. It is the pillar method of the academy's "farming business".

Although now, several incarnations have entered the realm of calamity, and their present bodies have reached the perfection of Mahayana and are about to achieve immortality and have no limit on lifespan, it does not mean that this method of the Earth God will be retired after its success.

Apart from helping with longevity, the most important aspect of this method of the Earth God is its improvement of the heaven and earth. The Earth God can nourish spiritual land, cultivate spiritual plants, and enlighten spiritual beasts. There are too many benefits in all aspects.

Especially for Wandao Academy, the essence of business development is plunder, taking from others' surplus to make up for one's own deficiencies, but one cannot keep taking from others, otherwise it will cause deficits, and there will be no fish to catch.

Therefore, Wandao Academy has always been adhering to the concept of "the way of immortality values ​​life" and trying every means to improve productivity to meet its own needs.

This also makes the importance of the Earth God's method more prominent. A qualified Earth God can be seen as a combination of hundreds of secondary positions such as spirit plant husband, beast tamer, formation master, etc. Needless to say, his importance to production is self-evident.

Therefore, in recent years, the Wandao Academy has been vigorously cultivating Earth God monks, especially in branch worlds such as the Huiming Realm. Earth God has become an indispensable existence, influencing the development and even the survival of a world like the Taoism in the past.

This time, the enlightenment was successful, and the practice of the earth god was completed, which could at least increase the production capacity of the earth god by 30%.

Don’t underestimate this 30%. Even a small increase, when magnified to a group of hundreds of billions, is an extremely astonishing number, let alone a 30% leap.

There are hundreds of billions of cultivators in Wandao Academy, and although not all of them practice the law of the Earth God, all of them are affected by the law of the Earth God. A 30% increase in production power means a 30% increase in strength, or even more.

Coupled with the gains from the war against demons nine thousand years ago, the strength of the Wandao Academy is expanding rapidly. It dare not say that it can rival the four major Taoist sects of Heaven, Buddhism, Demon Kingdom, and Demon Abyss, but it is definitely not a problem for it to catch up with the Dragon Palace in the Underworld, the Phoenix Nest, and the Ghost Den.

The first "Ten Thousand Year Plan" has not yet been completed, and there have been such harvests. How can Xu Yang not be happy?
This is the completion of the practice of the Earth God, in addition to the comprehension of the mysteries of the Earth Book.

How should we describe this thing called the Book of Earth? Using the concept of the Law of the Earth Gods, it can be completely regarded as an alternative divine seal.

The spiritual land associated with this "divine seal" is the earthly immortal world.

In other words, as long as he can refine the Book of Earth, Xu Yang will be able to become the master of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

By then, the entire earthly immortal world will become the "blessed land" of this earthly god!

Of course, this was wishful thinking. With his status in the world of earthly immortals, the Book of Earth was either a treasure for the Golden Immortals or a treasure for the Heavenly Immortals. How could he, who had just entered the ninth level and had not yet become a human immortal, dare to ask for it?

I don’t want to think about it, the best I can do is to make a replica.

But even if it is a replica, it also has the hope of being an immortal treasure, because the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man, like the Jiuyi Tianzun Sword, are not conventional magic weapons, but objects of luck. They can be nurtured by "luck", and even if they do not understand the art of refining equipment, they can still grow step by step and become immortal treasures or even higher.

The List of Gods and the Book of Life and Death in heaven and underworld are examples.

Dongsheng Heaven was not originally called Dongsheng Heaven.

Fengdu Underworld was not originally called Fengdu Underworld.

The reason why it was changed into a new look and inherited the name of the ancient Taoist tradition was because the Emperor Tai Tianzun and the Emperor Fengdu wanted to offer sacrifices to the Heavenly Book and the Human Book.

The power of destiny of Heaven and Hell has been nurturing the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death. Today, these two imitations of the Heavenly Book and the Book of Man have probably been promoted to the ranks of immortal treasures, with some abilities of "commanding the immortals to invest gods" and "deciding life and death."

This is true for the Book of Man and the Book of Heaven, and the Book of Earth as well. If you want this treasure to come true, you need to follow the method of the God of Earth, condense the power of the immortal world, and the luck of the four states, and advance step by step until it finally becomes a true treasure book of heaven and earth.

Xu Yang estimated that he would have to occupy at least the entire Nanzhan Province and accumulate luck for hundreds of thousands of years before he would have a hope of refining a ninth-level book of the earth.

Hmm... it's a bit useless. Hundreds of thousands of years, and that's hundreds of thousands of years in the world of earthly immortals. With that time, Xu Yang would probably have become a tenth-rank earthly immortal. What does he need a ninth-rank earth book for?
That is to say, it is the Heaven and the Underworld that have found it difficult to break through to the realm of human immortals for hundreds of thousands of years, so they would make great efforts to cultivate this imitation of the Heavenly Book and the Human Book as an opportunity for future earthly immortals to prove their way.

However, there is a shortcut to this method. The Great Emperor of Fengdu, based on the imitation of the human book, refined ten sub-books and handed them over to the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld, asking them to perform the duties of the King of Hell in order to improve the efficiency of practicing the Book of Life and Death.

Xu Yang could also refer to them and refine some "Earth Book Divisions", and hand them over to the Earth God cultivators of the Wandao Academy, and practice them with the Earth God's method in all the heavens and worlds to improve the efficiency of Earth Book cultivation.

No matter what, it is better to have something than nothing. For immortals and gods, time is the most precious and cheapest resource. It is not unacceptable to spend hundreds of thousands of years to refine a fairy treasure with unlimited potential.

Not to mention, the Book of Earth can be used as a magic weapon of the Earth God besides being practiced for sacrifice. It is of great help whether in production or in fighting against others. There is no reason not to practice it.

This is the harvest of "Earth Book"!

In the Tongtian Secret Realm, the ten-thousand-year battle has lasted for more than nine thousand years and is about to come to an end.

During these nine thousand years, in addition to the Book of Earth, Xu Yang also comprehended the innate Five Flags, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, the Lingxi Divine Sword and other secret treasures. He will have to spend another thousand years to comprehend the wonders of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation with Sanyun.

As long as the demons don't come to cause trouble, everything will go smoothly until the Tongtian Secret Realm is reopened.

Therefore, Xu Yang prepared to shift his focus and return to worldly affairs.

Ten thousand years in the dream, a thousand years in the real world, how could the cultivation world in the Northern Territory not be in turmoil?
