Chapter 403 Ye Jie - Bamboo Slips
[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the winter of the 639th year of the Moro calendar, Shura Jie killed the second-level demon fairy.]

【Xura Jie gained 57 million Yin De.】

With the death of Haifangzhu, the seven stitching pages in Ye Jie's arms became violent, sending a strong signal to the outside world.

Taking out the stitched page and looking at the good deeds that had just been recorded on it, Ye Jie was slightly happy.

"This Haifangzhu is indeed a second-level demon fairy. He relied on the water wave formation to accumulate wealth for who knows how many years. Now, with his death, it has completely belonged to me."

Without the protection of the water wave formation, Hai Fangzhu couldn't even withstand a single move before the infinite level of the dragon transformation. He was just a second-level demon fairy, and his realm was nowhere near as high as the powerful enemies Ye Jie had fought hard against before. He dared to block the way and seek death, which was really blind.

"what is that?"

Li Fei'e, with sharp eyes, looked at the place where Kaifangzhu fell. Below the sea surface, a little glow attracted her attention. The glow was fleeting and was soon submerged by the turbulent waves.

"Huh? That's..."

Ye Jie noticed something and jumped down. As he approached, the waves on the sea surface were suddenly repelled by a strong force and pushed out in all directions with him as the center, creating a vacuum zone with him as the center in the ocean.

The journey was smooth and Ye Jie stretched out his hand accurately and caught the glowing object that was about to disappear under the deep sea.

Returning to the flying sword, everyone looked at the glowing object in Ye Jie's hand with curiosity. It was a well-preserved bamboo slip, and no one knew what it was made of. The surface was crystal clear, and the light kept gathering outside the bamboo slip, making it difficult to look away, which was enough to show that this thing was extraordinary.

"This is... a bamboo slip?"

Shen Qingge glanced at it with cold eyes and recognized the origin of the bamboo slips.

Meng Junyao leaned over and asked in confusion: "Sister Qingge, what are the bamboo slips?"

Shen Qingge explained carefully: "Compared to ordinary paper books, bamboo slips take up less space but can carry more information records. At the same time, bamboo slips are sealed with special spiritual power and need to be opened with the right means. If you use brute force to destroy them, not only will you not be able to view the information recorded in the bamboo slips, but the records in them will be completely destroyed."

Meng Junyao nodded, with a hint of enlightenment in her dragon pupils: "So the effect of the bamboo slips is so magical, what grade of magic weapon is it?"

"Although they are called magic weapons, the bamboo slips are more like the derivative of some magic weapon. Just like the torn pages of the Book of Life and Death in Ajie's hand, although they come from the accounts of the various hall masters, you can't say that the stitched page itself is a magic weapon of a certain grade." Shen Qingge replied.

Ye Jie understood the situation and said:

"There are so many magical instruments of writing in this world. The first-grade writing instruments alone include the Book of Life and Death, the List of Gods, and the Book of History. Each of them contains earth-shattering power. Since this bamboo slip of writing is so special, can we only watch and not find out the information inside it?"

Ren Changhong spread his hands, revealing a helpless look:

"If the Lord of the Sea was still alive, we might be able to get a way to unlock the bamboo slips under torture. Unfortunately, he was not able to withstand a single blow from you. I don't know where he got the courage to stop us. Could it be that the realm we revealed gave him the illusion that he could win?"

Shen Qingge took the bamboo slips and checked them, but ultimately came back empty-handed. He shook his head and said, "If the seal is forcibly broken, the information recorded inside the bamboo slips will be completely destroyed when it is opened, and it will all be in vain in the end. Due to the characteristics of the bamboo slips, many immortals use them to record their own unique immortal methods, so that even if they are snatched away by others, no one can see what is written inside."

"It seems there is no other way..."

Ye Jie took the bamboo slips back, and since they could be carried by Hai Fangzhu, the information recorded in them must be extraordinary. After all, Hai Fangzhu was a second-level demon immortal. In terms of realm, his comprehension of the immortal way was far beyond that of everyone else. If everyone could take a look at these bamboo slips, they would definitely benefit from them.

Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, Meng Junyao suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "My dear, the stitching page in your hand is from a first-grade artifact. It is definitely higher in grade than this bamboo slip. Can't you think of a way?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie took out the seven stitched pages. It wouldn't hurt to just give it a try. Since he couldn't open the bamboo slips with ordinary means, he could only pin his hopes on the miraculous effect of the seven stitched pages.

As the document slips came into contact with the seven stitched pages, an unusual text soon emerged:
[Book of Life and Death Archives:]

【Category: Document bamboo slips】

[Title: The Essence of Water Wave Array]

[Owner: Kaizhu Kaizhu]

"Wait a minute...it seems like it really works."

After reading the news on the torn page, Ye Jie's pupils shrank, and then came an unshakable joy.

Previously, the seven stitched pages have demonstrated their miraculous effects many times. Whether it is Ye Jie's own or other people's files, they can all be modified through the Book of Life and Death. Not only that, even the files of the buildings in the lifeless Yama Palace can be modified.

It can be said that as long as there is a record in the Book of Life and Death, it can be modified using the seven-sided stitching pages.

Now, the files of the document bamboo slips have also appeared on the seven stitched pages. Doesn’t that mean that Ye Jie can use the method of modifying the files to break the seal of the document bamboo slips?
Do it when you think of it. As Ye Jie's mind moved, soon, the words on the seven stitched pages changed again.

[To modify the title file of the Essence of Water Waves Array, and delete "Essence of Water Waves Array", one hundred Yin De is required.]

[Modify the owner's file of the Water Wave Array Essence, change "Sea Master Hai Zhuo" to "Golden Wheel Hall Master Ye Jie", requiring 10 million Yin De. ]

"Sure enough... With the current permissions of the Seven-Sided Suture Page, it is easy to modify these contents."

The news revealed by the stitching page conveyed good news to Ye Jie. His prediction was indeed correct. As long as he had the seven stitching pages that inherited the power of the first-grade artifact Book of Life and Death, he could modify all the documents in the bamboo slips. "Erase the title of the bamboo slips? That doesn't sound like a good choice. According to previous experience in modifying files, if the title is erased, the content of the bamboo slips will definitely be erased as well."

"It is the right choice to modify the owner's file, but the price is much more expensive than erasing the title. It requires 10 million Yin De..."

Ye Jie smacked his lips. He had just received 50 million Yin De from Hai Fangzhu, and now he had to use 10 million to modify the file. This price was really expensive. But strictly speaking, these Yin De all belonged to Hai Fangzhu, so Ye Jie had no loss. He made a decision immediately and started to modify the file.

[In the winter of the 639th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie spent 10 million Yin De to modify the file of the holder of the Water Wave Array Essence.]

[“Sea Master Hai Zhuo” has been changed to “Golden Wheel Palace Master Ye Jie”]

As the words on the seven stitched pages emerged, an inexplicable connection also emerged between Ye Jie and the bamboo slips.

Ye Jie held the bamboo slips in his hands. The bamboo slips with documents that had been so unfamiliar to him just now that everyone was at a loss, now seemed like they had been in his possession for thousands of years. Ye Jie knew everything about the internal structure of the bamboo slips, or the flow of spiritual power within them, as if he was the one who had set the seal on the bamboo slips himself.

Li Fei'e sensed the unusual fluctuations of spiritual power on the bamboo slips and exclaimed, "Look!"

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the sealed bamboo slips of documents slowly unfolded with a snapping sound, revealing everything contained within to everyone without any error.

"The document bamboo slips... were actually opened like this?"

Shen Qingge was stunned. As someone who came from an immortal sect, she knew very well how difficult it was to break the seal of the bamboo slips. Not to mention her, even if the ancestors of the Xuannv Sect came, they would not be able to easily break the seal of the bamboo slips.

Even if the sect's founder has reached the pinnacle of cultivation and is able to forcibly open the document slips, forcing it open will inevitably destroy the records inside the slips, causing a large part of the content to be missing, which greatly reduces the value of the records. It is impossible for him to open the document slips perfectly and effortlessly like Ye Jie did.

"I knew that someone with a destiny would be able to open the bamboo slips!"

Meng Junyao's dragon pupils were full of trust in Ye Jie. She flapped her tiny dragon claws in front of her body, applauding and cheering for him. As if one was not enough, she split into three, and three identical Meng Junyaos applauded Ye Jie at the same time.

The ghost butterfly was not to be outdone. It landed on Ye Jie's shoulder and emitted a captivating ghost light.

Ye Jie smiled and said, "Well, let's take a look at what is recorded in this bamboo slip... The file says that it contains the essence of the Water Wave Formation. If you can learn the Water Wave Formation, it will be an extraordinary gain."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed curious looks and gathered around to study the records in the bamboo slips together.

Everyone has witnessed the effect of the Water Wave Array. It can unload all the force it receives into the endless ocean, allowing the ocean to bear the attack instead of the array. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to break through it. Even the skills at the Wanhua level cannot break the Water Wave Array by force alone.

In comparison, the 10 million merits spent on deciphering the document bamboo slips seem insignificant, and being able to learn such a large formation is well worth the money.

However, after reading the contents of the bamboo slips, everyone's expressions changed slightly. From the initial curiosity and joy, they gradually turned into confusion and embarrassment.

Li Fei'e rolled his eyes and lamented, "I don't understand the formation. Even if you bring the book to me, I still don't understand what it says, and why they use this method to set up the formation instead of another one..."

Shen Qingge frowned slightly: "The essence of the formation in the bamboo slips is quite obscure. If you don't have hundreds of years of extraordinary attainments in the art of formation, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand its meaning at all."

Ye Jie nodded, agreeing with this. With the Bodhi Heart Method to enhance his understanding, he was also confused about the essence of the formation, but he still said:

"This water wave formation is a formation at the immortal level, so its complexity is understandable. On the contrary, the more complex it is, the more powerful the formation itself is. If you can learn it, the effect will definitely be extraordinary... However, how to learn it has become a problem."

Ren Changhong had expected this, and he only glanced at the bamboo slips and didn't look at them at all: "The way of swordsmanship is more suitable for me. Whoever wants to practice the way of formations can practice it... I remember that there are quite a few ancestors in the Xuannv Sect who are good at the way of formations."

Li Fei'e seemed to remember something, as if he had found a savior, and looked at Ye Jie with hope: "Brother Jie, can't you modify the file? Why not just modify the essence of this formation into the file!"

Ye Jie was a little embarrassed. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't do it. "The Essence of the Formation is not a cultivation method. The seven stitching pages can only modify the cultivation method files. As for the others, whether it is the Essence of Talismans, the Essence of Pills, or the Essence of the Formation, unless it is attached to the cultivation method, it cannot be modified directly."

Li Fei'e opened her mouth. She didn't expect that the stitching page that she thought was almost omnipotent and could modify anything actually had such limitations.

Seeing that he really couldn't learn it, Li Fei'e shook his head vigorously and quickly put it all behind him. He said casually: "Since we can't learn this water wave formation, let's leave it to someone who can learn it. I remember that Sister Xinyu has some research on the art of formations, so why not give her the classics and let her worry about it aside."

Ye Jie smiled. It seemed that this was the only way. Xie Xinyu was indeed good at formations, but there was still a huge gap between her and the formation masters. If she wanted to learn the water wave formation at the immortal level, she would probably have trouble doing it.

After putting away the document bamboo slips, everyone's eyes soon fell on another object, which was the blue gem that Ye Jie had used to break the formation.

Li Fei'e was immediately attracted by the intoxicating light of the azure pearl and couldn't help asking, "What is that? I have never seen such a beautiful pearl..."

Ye Jie did not hide it and explained: "This is a fifth-grade water-repellent bead, which can repel all surrounding water. The Dragon King told me that as long as I take out the water-repellent bead, I can break the water wave formation. Now I tried it, and it is indeed the case."

Li Fei'e was delighted and couldn't help but hold the water-repellent bead in his hand. He couldn't let it go and asked, "Is this a gift from the Dragon King? Can I have a water-repellent bead, too?"

Ye Jie was somewhat helpless: "A fifth-grade magical weapon cannot be given away casually. It was only lent to me temporarily. Now that the water wave formation has been broken, it is time to return the water-repellent bead to the Dragon King."

Li Fei'e thought it was a pity, but under the stern look of his master beside him, he dared not take the water-repellent bead for himself no matter what. He could only watch Ye Jie throw the water-repellent bead into the East China Sea with reluctance in his eyes.

"According to the Dragon King, this water-repellent bead is spiritual and will return to the Dragon Palace on its own. After I have used it, I can just throw it back into the East China Sea. Now that the problem has been solved, it is time to go to Japan." Ye Jie spoke slowly.
