My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 756: Complete Sky-Watcher's Eye

"You look at the withered grave covered by snow in front of you and try your best to get closer to your goal, but you find that no matter how you move, the distance to the lonely grave remains the same."

"It may seem like there's only a short distance between you and that withered grave, but in reality, it's as if a world away. No matter how hard you try, you can't get even a little closer to it."

"Do you want to keep going?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment, opened the skill panel, found the option of Dragon Vein Chapter of Dragon Raising Technique, and then clicked to select it.

"You used the Dragon Raising Technique's method of shrinking the earth into an inch, trying to quickly shorten the distance between yourself and the withered grave."

"But the space around you is also becoming more volatile. You feel countless ripples in the space before your eyes, as if countless space barriers are stacked on top of each other, trying to separate you from the withered grave."

"However, you discovered the power of the Dragon Raising Technique in this strange fluctuation of spatial power."

"This seems to be the 'Close Yet Far Away' method recorded in the Territory Chapter of the Dragon Raising Technique. It can stretch and extend space infinitely. Only the power of the Dragon Raising Technique can pass this limitation. Otherwise, it will continue to wander in layers of space until all its strength is exhausted."

"You used the method of shrinking the earth into an inch recorded in the Dragon Vein Chapter to quickly pass through the gap in the overlapping space and finally arrived in front of the withered tomb. It looked like an inconspicuous tomb, covered with snow. There was no trace on the lonely stone tablet, as if it was just an ordinary broken stone."

"You have triggered the talent of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils."

"You discovered that beneath the plain surface of this stone tablet, there are countless talismans and spells engraved that are invisible to the naked eye. Although they are derived from the unique talismans of Taoism, they are runes that you have never come into contact with before. Do you want to pull this stone tablet out of the ground and study it carefully to see what secrets it contains?"

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the description in the text, he chose yes without thinking too much.

According to the Great Wind God, this dry grave was left by his future self, so if he dug up his own grave, it was a matter of personal freedom and there was no need to hesitate.

If the Great Wind God lied to me, it didn't matter. It wasn't my grave anyway, so I could dig it up. If he had the ability, he could let the victim come and talk to him himself.

Anyway, he has decided to dig this grave today!
"You overturned the stone tablet that looked like a tombstone in front of the grave and injected the mana in your body into it. The originally plain stone tablet suddenly glowed with golden light, revealing its true face hidden beneath the surface."

"You have obtained the Immortal Brick."

"The Immortal Brick (rare item), a magical tool refined by the secret method of the Taoist sect, abandons all fancy abilities, and emphasizes the power of one to defeat ten skills. Innate ability: a throw of the dice."

"A Gamble: It can automatically lock onto and track the target's aura. It has strong damage to monsters with physical bodies, but the damage to monsters without physical bodies is limited."

Jiang Xinghuo understood it at a glance. To put it simply, this is a physical-focused item that abandons the power brought by spell damage.

"Now that you have obtained this immortal brick hidden in front of the tomb, do you want to continue digging up the withered tomb?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

Such a rare item is not worthy of being guarded by magic like "A World Away". The real treasure must still be in that dry grave.

"You chose to dig up that withered grave covered in snow."

"Although the grave soil was frozen as hard as ice, under the power of the Mountain Digging Technique, its strength was not much better than a piece of tofu. However, in the blink of an eye, the solid frozen soil was completely dug up, revealing a crystal coffin underneath."

"You found this crystal coffin very familiar. It is the resting place of the corpse-reincarnated immortal you met on the Yellow River Ancient Road. That coffin is still in your magic bag. I didn't expect that you would find a second coffin under this withered grave."

"No, maybe this shouldn't be called the second coffin. If this withered grave is really left here by your future self, then this is the crystal coffin in your magic bag, but it was placed here by your future self."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo believed about 70% of what the Great Wind God said. Even if the other party was deceiving him, it was impossible for him to know everything about him so thoroughly.

"Do you want to open this crystal coffin and see what's inside?"

"You dragged the crystal coffin out from under the grave and opened the lid that had been sealed for who knows how many years."

"You found that there were only three things in this coffin: a yellowed old scroll, a rusty mechanical sphere, and a wooden object similar to a drawer."

"There were only these three items in the coffin. There were no other items or text messages."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw it, he thought that he was really stingy. He gave the things away, but why didn’t he leave a few words to at least let himself know the reason. Or was it because of some special reason that his future self could not leave a written message?

He pondered for a while, but felt that he had no clue, so he simply stopped worrying about it and started checking the three things.

"You picked up the old scroll. It looked like an ordinary yellowed scroll with insect bites on the edges. But when you unfolded it, you found that the scroll was shrouded in clouds and mist. There were countless heavenly palaces hidden behind the clouds, and countless mighty heavenly soldiers guarding the eight directions."

"You have discovered the broken map of 360,000 Heavenly Soldiers to Suppress Demons."

"I have detected that you already have some fragments of the Heavenly Soldiers Demon Suppression Diagram. Do you want to merge the two fragments into one immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes suddenly lit up. This was such a pleasant surprise. He didn't expect that the coffin contained incomplete fragments of the Heavenly Soldier Map!

He is now basically certain that these things are left by his future self, because only his future self knows what he needs most at the moment.

"You chose to fuse the fragments of the Heavenly Soldiers Diagram."

"In the process of merging, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for almost half an hour before the subsequent text content came from the game.

"The fusion is complete."

"You have successfully obtained the 67.2972 Heavenly Soldiers Demon Suppression Map (%)"

When Jiang Xinghuo noticed the number of the completeness of the Heavenly Soldiers Map, he couldn't help but gasp.

The fragments of the Map of Heavenly Soldiers that he obtained from the Taoist temple in his hometown were pitifully incomplete. Even with the fragments of the Map of Heavenly Soldiers obtained in the underworld, it only barely reached about 30%. But now, after integrating the fragments left by his future self, it has reached nearly 70%.

And this is not the end yet, subsequent game texts keep popping up on the screen.

"The completeness of your Heavenly Soldiers Map fragments exceeds 50%, activating the hidden function of the Heavenly Soldiers Map."

"You can integrate the fragments of the cave into the Heavenly Soldiers Map, and transform them into real worlds in the painting. Not only can you use it as your own Taoist temple, but you can also use it as a prison to suppress evil spirits. The heavenly soldiers drawn on it will also become real in the world of the painting, and help you deal with the evil spirits imprisoned in it."

"However, you cannot let those heavenly soldiers leave the world in the painting for the time being, and you cannot refine them into your own inheritance relic for the time being. Unless you can piece together the completeness to more than 80%, you can use the Heavenly Soldiers Picture as your own inheritance relic."

More than eighty percent of them can be regarded as their own relics?

Jiang Xinghuo had a rough idea in his mind, and the remaining fragments would probably fall on the hands of the ten emperors under the Taoist throne.

According to the fortune teller who was suspected to be Qing Nang Gong, as long as he could take the Heavenly Soldiers Map as his inheritance, he would have a chance to break the inevitable death in the future. At this time, another new text content popped up.

"You have triggered the message left by Emperor Tiangang in the Heavenly Soldiers Map. Do you want to check it immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo was shocked and quickly chose yes. He wanted to see whether this so-called Tiangang Emperor was his future self!

"You chose to view the message."

"This message was indeed left by your future self, but it seems that due to some unknown reasons, a lot of information in the message is not clear. I only left you a few important messages."

"First, in the future you will indeed be the so-called Great Emperor Tiangang, but you have given up your status as an exile and lifted the curse on yourself. You must never behave like this."

"Second, be careful of the ten emperors under Daozu. These ten emperors have been influenced by the ancient gods and have become fanatical believers of the ancient gods. They can no longer maintain their own will. Only Emperor Yuanguang can be trusted, but you must enter his deep consciousness."

"Third, you must gather all the fragments of the Heavenly Soldiers Map and refine them into your own inheritance relic. Flawed fragments of the Heavenly Soldiers Map are not perfect and will leave you in a fatal danger."

"Fourth, don't... use the Sunburst... to project... to..."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the game information on the screen and found that the text content popped up in less than five seconds and then disappeared from the screen without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The same thing happened when I checked the game text records. There was not a single trace left, everything disappeared completely.

This situation has occurred before when dealing with some worldly secrets, but I didn't expect that this would happen to my messages in the future.

Fortunately, he had read the first three messages and memorized them, except for the last one, which was discontinuous and not a complete text.

"Don't use the Sunflint to project to... where?"

Jiang Xinghuo fell into deep thought. Was he reminding himself not to project into the secular world, or not to project into a specific location?

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to not use the Sunflint again in the future just to be on the safe side. Since he didn't know the specific contents, he might as well nip all dangers in the bud and put an end to it once and for all, cleanly and neatly.

There is also information about the Ten Great Emperors. When he obtained the Yuanguang Mirror left by Yuanguang Emperor, he learned some information from the consciousness of the clone left by Yuanguang Emperor.

It was said that the ten emperors might have been influenced by the ancient gods from outer space, and Emperor Yuanguang himself might have been among them. However, he thought that since Emperor Yuanguang knew about this, he would be on guard in secret. Unexpectedly, he still could not escape this disaster in the end.

Jiang Xinghuo secretly kept this in mind, and if he triggered related plot tasks or clues in the future, he would have to be more careful.

Then he looked at the remaining two things.

"You picked up the rusty mechanical sphere and found that although it was covered with rust, there was a crystal-embedded eyeball in the middle. Its appearance was very similar to the thing you have in your hand now."

The Eye of the Sky-Gazer!
The first time Jiang Xinghuo saw the game text, he thought of the Sky-Peeking Eye found in the Ghost Gate Laboratory.

It is said to be the culmination of the previous civilization and possesses the same abilities as Tathagatagarbha.

However, what he found at that time was an incomplete Sky-Watcher's Eye, whose functions had great limitations and flaws, so it remained in his magic bag and unused.

Could it be that the fragments of the Sky-Watcher's Eye have also been gathered together by my future self?

as predicted.

The game text that pops up next verifies this.

"You have obtained the fragment of the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"It is detected that you have the same fragment of creation. Do you want to merge the two into one?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without thinking too much.

"You chose to fuse the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"The fragments are being fused, please wait..."

"The fusion is complete."

"You have obtained the complete Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"The Eye of the Sky-Watcher (legendary prop), the fruit of many years of research by ancient secular civilization, can peek into all the hidden mysteries of the world."

“Companion Talent: Can perfectly replicate other people’s spells and skills, and instantly understand the principles and mechanisms of their operation. At the same time, can also disassemble the operating principles of props and instruments, and evolve them into spells to bless one’s own world. Can also fuse different spells together to evolve into a brand new spell.”

"Please note that a large amount of incense is needed as nutrients for the evolution."

Ok?
The ability of the Sky-Peeping Eye to spy on the secrets and mysteries of the secular world is okay, and there is almost no big difference between it and the ability of Tathagatagarbha.

But what is this about disassembling the operating principles of props and evolving them into magic?

Doesn't this mean that he will be a human-shaped prop in the future?
The ability to accommodate most props within oneself?

"Do you want to integrate the Sky-Watcher's Eye into your body immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose fusion.

The broken Sky-Peek Eye is in the form of a pair of glasses, but the complete Sky-Peek Eye can be integrated into the body.

"In the process of merging, please wait..."

"You have successfully merged the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

Then, Jiang Xinghuo heard a "beep" sound in his ear, as if some special machine was turned on.

Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed before my eyes, and a transparent virtual panel appeared in my field of vision.

He tried to look at the cabinet next to him, and relevant information immediately appeared on the panel, including not only detailed data but also methods of repair and maintenance.

"Why does this feel like... a system?"

Jiang Xinghuo's expression was a little strange.
