Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian
Chapter 339 Immortal Corpse
Suddenly, green light flashed on the surface of the Xutian Ding, and a ball of green light emerged from it.
Then, the green light continued to condense and churn, and finally turned into the image of a boy about one foot tall. He was white and fat, and looked only three or four years old.
However, at this moment, the boy's face was extremely gloomy. He stared at the jade token in Yan Yun's hand, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, as if he was full of envy and a bit of regret.
When Yan Yun learned that this jade token was actually a thing from the immortals, his expression changed drastically in an instant, but the moment he saw the boy appear, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
This is just the human form that the Tianlan Beast transformed into outside the Xutian Ding with the help of the trace amount of spiritual energy deep in the Ding.
Before he personally lifted the seal, his body could not escape from the shackles of the Xutian Ding. All his attention was now focused on this mysterious object called the "Golden Palace Jade Book".
"This is actually something from the Immortal Family! Did I hear it right?"
Yan Yun carefully observed the jade token in his hand, his heart full of confusion and suspicion.
"Compared to the True Immortal Realm, the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth between our Spirit Realm and the Human Realm are relatively weak. It is not uncommon for immortal things to occasionally drift into the Spirit Realm. However, the reputation of this Golden Palace Jade Book has caused me to lose my composure."
The Tianlan Beast sighed softly.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Tianlan, if it is convenient, could you explain this thing to me in detail?" Yan Yun asked slowly after thinking for a moment.
"Of course! This item is extremely well-known among the human race in the spirit world, and almost everyone knows about it. It is not a secret."
"As for this book, we need to trace it back to the immortals in the True Immortal Realm. Although we can often find items left behind by immortals in the spiritual world, they often flow into the human world for various reasons. However, treasures that are truly of practical value are rare."
"Since the spiritual world began to keep records, it seems that no immortal has ever descended upon this place. The reason why I say 'seems' is because a long time ago, the remains of an immortal appeared in the spiritual world."
"This Golden Palace Jade Book was found on this remains. It is said that the original book has a total of 108 pages, and each page records a secret technique of the immortals. The inner 36 pages mainly talk about the way of breathing cultivation, including the formula of the technique and the magical power of the transformation of the mysterious technique. The outer 72 pages cover many fields such as talismans, array formations, alchemy and weapon making."
The boy narrated this with an envious tone, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"The inner thirty-six pages of this book are the most valuable. As for the contents of the outer seventy-two pages, although they seem complicated, very few of them are actually useful, because most of the materials required for refining pills, making talismans, or refining weapons and setting up formations are unheard of, and can only be used as research references at best."
“Therefore, except for a few pages, most of the remaining 72 pages of the jade book seem gaudy and useless.”
"The battle that affected the entire spirit world was mainly fought over the 36 pages of the Jade Book. However, after tens of thousands of years of circulation, only seven or eight pages are known to be missing now."
“However, almost all the practitioners who obtained the Jade Book and successfully cultivated it became outstanding figures among the human race.”
"Although they are not as famous as the Three Emperors, they are also capable of protecting an area and dominating a region. What is even more striking is that in the past 100,000 years, the practitioners who have achieved success in the spiritual world and eventually ascended to the immortal world are said to have practiced the skills contained in these jade books. Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is enough to drive the practitioners of your human race crazy."
"Human practitioners? Could it be that all these jade books have fallen into the hands of us humans?" Yan Yun was dumbfounded at first, but then he noticed something unusual and couldn't help but have doubts in his mind.
"Haha! At the beginning, we, the demon race, also participated in the fierce competition for the thirty-six pages of the Golden Palace Jade Book."
"But not long after, the senior demon cultivators who had obtained the jade books realized that the techniques contained in these jade books were only suitable for human cultivators to practice and use. For us demon cultivators, once we practice the magical powers described in them, not only will it not produce any effect, but it will also cause a significant loss of cultivation. Some demon cultivators even died on the spot because they could not withstand the power."
"After many trials and errors, we, the demon race, finally chose to completely give up the fight for the jade book. Although the pages of this book are extremely precious, they are of no use to us, the demon race. However, it is worth noting that the corpse of the immortal back then was actually a human body. The skills in the Golden Palace Jade Book were created specifically for the human race, so this is not too strange."
The boy explained with regret.
"So that's the case! However, since no immortals have descended to the spirit world in the past, how did your spiritual world cultivators know that the human skeleton was the body of an immortal? Perhaps it is just the remains of a cultivator with great magical powers?"
Yan Yun stroked his beard and asked thoughtfully.
"I really know very little about this matter. This happened a long time ago. At that time, I had not yet obtained the Tao and had not yet gained spiritual wisdom, so naturally I could not have understood what happened back then."
"However, at that time, many of the elders of both the human and demon races who had great magical powers all believed that the skeleton was the body of an immortal, so they must have been right."
When the boy heard the question, he was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then answered hesitantly.
"Is the secret book I hold in my palm right now the inner thirty-six-page golden jade book, or the outer seventy-two-page silver jade book?"
Yan Yun gently picked up the jade token, carefully observing the flickering silver runes on it, and asked the boy.
"The outer page of the jade tablet is written in silver script, while the inner page is written in more mysterious and difficult to understand gold seal script."
The boy did not directly answer Yan Yun's question, but spoke with a mysterious smile.
"Silver Tadpole Script... Then what I have in my hand is an outer page, and only an incomplete part?"
After hearing the boy's answer, Yan Yun did not feel too disappointed, as if he did not care about it.
Although this Golden Jade Book did possess unimaginable magical power as claimed, it was still too far-fetched for a cultivator from the human world like him who had not yet reached the Divine Transformation Realm.
To him, there was not much difference between the inner and outer pages of the jade book.
He did not intend to think about the issue of spiritual cultivation too early.
The boy looked at Yan Yun and seemed to understand his inner thoughts. The corners of his mouth slightly raised and he smiled softly:
"In fact, with your current realm, it is a good thing to obtain the outer page of the Jade Book. If it is one of the inner pages, you need to have the cultivation of the Void Refining Stage to practice it."
"Since the secret arts of the immortals all know the origin of the heaven and earth's vital energy, only those who have reached the middle level of the three realms can control the heaven and earth's vital energy. Even if you are a spiritual cultivator, you are only limited to the elementary stage in this field. If you practice blindly, you will probably suffer greatly."
"As for the outer pages of the Jade Book, since the content is not about cultivation techniques, if you can comprehend one or two of the essences and apply them to yourself, it will still bring great benefits. The only pity is that I don't know what the fragment in your hand records. With only half a fragment left, it is still unknown whether you can comprehend it successfully."
"Perhaps it should be about the art of making talismans." Yan Yun glanced at the golden talisman in his other hand and speculated. "The answer is not certain. Silver Tadpole Script is a language that cultivators in the human world have never heard of. The Golden Flower Patriarch may have obtained the Jade Book by chance, discovered the mystery of this spiritual script, and used it at will."
"After all, even if you just copy the immortals' things, they will produce some amazing magical powers."
The boy shook his head and denied Yan Yun's guess.
"There is such a wonderful thing. When I have free time, I should study it in depth. Fellow Daoist Tianlan, can you teach me the silver tadpole script now?"
A cunning look flashed in Yan Yun's eyes, and he suddenly suggested.
"Of course. But I have a request. If you succeed in comprehending the Jade Book, I would also like to borrow it to read. After all, the outer pages of the Jade Book are also of great help to our demon race."
The boy expressed his needs to Yan Yun frankly without any hesitation.
"No problem at all! Since you have made this request, please allow me to exercise this right as well after I comprehend the Jade Book. If I fail to understand any details in the process, I would like to make a copy of all the insights you have gained and take them back with me."
Yan Yun responded calmly.
"Of course I can agree to this request. However, you must know that the silver tadpole script and the golden seal script are called the True Spirit Script. It is said that they both originated from the immortal runes of the True Immortal Realm. Each character contains an immeasurable powerful effect."
"Engraving these words on an ordinary jade slip will inevitably cause the jade slip to shatter instantly. At the same time, it is impossible to impart this knowledge through telepathic communication."
"Therefore, I can only take the most primitive way - to explain these contents to you word by word. However, this will take a lot of time and energy."
The boy agreed to Yan Yun's request without hesitation, and then explained it in detail.
"It's not a big deal for me to spend some time. It will take at least two months to go to Kuixing Island. You can rest assured to teach me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yun put the jade token in his hand back into the wooden box with a normal expression, sealed the talisman and put it into the storage bag.
Then he looked at the boy above the magic weapon, with a faint smile on his lips, and said no more.
Seeing this, the boy sighed slightly helplessly.
"In that case, let's get started. The silver tadpole script originated from some immortal items that were lost in the True Immortal Realm and were gradually sorted out and annotated by outstanding people in our Spiritual Realm with great effort."
"Although its original meaning may differ from the true explanation of the immortals, I believe the difference is not too big. Next, I will select a few of the more than 100 most common runes in the art of talisman making and introduce them in detail..."
The boy spoke in a sophisticated tone while escaping into the light, and actually began to teach Yan Yun this mysterious spiritual text.
Yan Yun knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he listened to the boy's explanation attentively, and he would not hesitate to ask questions about anything he did not understand.
The boy transformed from the Tianlan beast showed no sign of being bored and always patiently answered every question of Yan Yun.
In this way, two months passed quietly. By the time Yan Yun had almost understood the silver tadpole document, they had already arrived at the sea area where Kuixing Island was located.
One day, Yan Yun fell into deep thought as the boy explained. However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered a very tiny black object on the sea in the distance.
When Yan Yun took a closer look, he was shocked and immediately urged his escape light to speed up. In just a moment, he arrived in front.
The scene before him turned out to be a small island with an area of only sixty or seventy miles, which was really insignificant compared to the many islands he had seen before.
However, such an insignificant island exudes a faint spiritual energy and has an extremely thin spiritual vein. The quality of this spiritual vein is naturally poor.
Yan Yun hovered hundreds of feet above the island, his eyes cast towards a mountain range on the island. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes revealed deep emotion.
This small island is exactly the "Xiaohuan Island" where he once lived.
Recalling that when he left this place, he had not even formed a golden elixir yet, but now that he passed by here again, he had become a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
The unpredictable changes in life are really hard to predict.
When he left Xiaohuan Island, although he was extremely determined in his pursuit of the Great Dao, how could he have imagined that one day he would be able to be promoted to a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Yan Yun stood quietly in the air for about a meal's time. The strange light in his eyes gradually faded away. A green light flashed around his body, and he turned into a long green rainbow and rushed away.
Since we have reached Xiaohuan Island, we are not far from Kuixing Island.
Sure enough, just half an hour later, Yan Yun saw the huge body of Kuixing Island from afar.
However, this time, Yan Yun did not plan to enter through the port via the regular route, but chose a remote location with few people.
His whole body flashed with spiritual light, and he went straight through the layer of white restriction that surrounded the entire island. As a result, after a loud "bang", the surrounding light curtain shook violently in an instant.
Relying on his own powerful cultivation, Yan Yun forcibly broke through the light curtain with only the protective spiritual light, passed through safely, and then calmly controlled the escape light to leave.
After Yan Yun had flown for the time it took to make a meal, several colorful beams of light hurriedly came from the other side of the island. As a result, the spiritual light dimmed at the place where Yan Yun had just passed, revealing the figures of several cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
These monks looked around the area where the light curtain had returned to normal, then scattered and searched nearby, but unfortunately found nothing.
Finally, these people gathered together in extreme surprise, and after a brief and tense conversation in low voices, they turned into streams of light and quickly returned to their original places.
At this moment, on the top of a mountain thousands of miles away, Yan Yun, wearing a black cloak, has quietly descended with beams of light.
He gently raised his right hand, and in an instant, a mysterious magic disk emitting a soft milky white light appeared in his hand. (End of this chapter)
