My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 839: Prison of All Things
"You have captured this information hidden in the Nine Heavens Thunder Method cultivation system. It is a message left by the founder of the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder. The general meaning is to let future practitioners recruit disciples, carry forward this thunder method, and make it the world's top holy place for cultivation."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw this text, the first thing that came to his mind was the existence of the signpost.

Establishing a landmark is by no means an easy task. No matter which method is used to establish the landmark, it will take a lot of time and energy. But if you choose a relatively easy way, it is nothing more than passing on knowledge and passing on family heirs.

The former can quickly spread their heritage to benefit the world, while the latter can continue to pass it down as long as they are in good health.

The founder of the Jiuxiao Yuqing Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder hid his belief in recruiting many disciples within the inheritance of his skills, and his intention was probably to establish a landmark.

Jiang Xinghuo recalled what the old man in the ancestral hall in the ancient space town had said, that the strong man who built the landmark could be resurrected from the landmark as long as the landmark did not collapse, even if he died at the hands of other people.

But it didn't say where those strong men who established the landmarks would go after they died. Would their souls just fly away? Or would they go to the underworld? Or would they go to a special place?
In the past, when Jiang Xinghuo had nothing to do, he had really thought about this problem, but he only thought about it superficially and did not really think about it in detail.

Now that he had come to this mysterious place through the space array pattern left by the Skywalker, Jiang Xinghuo once again recalled the question he had once thought about.

Could it be that the mysterious space he was in at the moment was the resting place of those who built the signposts after their death?

Jiang Xinghuo had this guess in his mind, but he didn't find enough evidence to support it, so he could only bury this idea in his heart and see if he could find some evidence to prove it.

If he could meet the Immortal Gushe here, or those beings he had come into contact with in the secular world and who had established landmarks with him but had died, then he would be able to basically confirm his thoughts.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo tapped the screen and continued to scroll down the text content. There was more than one person who threw things to him in the ravine. Now that he had obtained the Jiuxiao Yuqing Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder, he was also interested in several other things.

"You have obtained the Secret Book of the Golden Light of the Earth."

"The Secret Scroll of the Golden Light of the Earth (Epic Item), a secret method of escape from the ancient times. With a breath of the original energy from the Dantian, one can transform into golden light and escape thousands of miles away, and ignore the obstacles of the mountains and rivers in front of him. After the body is transformed into golden light, it can also be immune to the damage caused by some magic. At the same time, the Golden Light of the Earth can also absorb and integrate other escape techniques to make up for its own shortcomings."

"According to ancient legends, there are thirteen kinds of escape techniques in the world. If the Golden Light of the Earth can absorb all thirteen kinds of escape techniques, you can comprehend the most mysterious law of space in the world and be able to break through space and teleport at will."

"Do you want to use the item, the Secret Book of Golden Light?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not think much about it. He had already learned the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder, so this secret method of the Golden Light of the Earth was not a big deal. He was getting closer and closer to the title of Tiangang Dao Lord. After all these miscellaneous skills on his body were transformed or replaced with new magical powers, he would probably be able to establish a preliminary mark on the path.

"You chose to use the Secret Book of Golden Light of the Earth."

"Learning, please wait..."

"Study completed."

"You have successfully mastered the Golden Light Technique."

Just like when he was learning the Jade Clear Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder before, after a text prompt indicating successful learning flashed in the game, Jiang Xinghuo felt the changes in reality. His body became dynamic, emitting golden light, and the outlines of his facial features were almost invisible. Only the two pupils flashing with flame patterns showed some difference.

Jiang Xinghuo could feel that this golden light was integrating other escape techniques in his body, such as the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Divine Movement Technique. It absorbed the essence of these escape techniques and then transformed into a new golden light technique.

"The body turns into golden light, leaping into the invisible!"

Jiang Xinghuo pinched his right hand in front of his chest, and his body suddenly turned into a stream of light, like the tail flame of a comet, flying quickly in the living room, and finally turned into a human form again, sitting steadily on the sofa.

The Nine Heavens Jade Purity Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder is an offensive technique, while the Earth-shaking Golden Light Technique is quite the opposite, a secret method used to save one's life and escape. With his current level of cultivation, if he could use all of it, the speed would be absolutely astonishing. Even if it is not as fast as a high-speed train, it would still be much faster than an ordinary car.

Jiang Xinghuo calmed himself down and continued to look at the game text.

"Golden Coin Holding the Wealth (special item), the natal treasure of the Fortune Holding the Boy. According to legend, the Fortune Holding the Boy was the last three-legged golden toad of a certain secular civilization. He gathered all the luck of the golden toad clan, so that when he transformed into a human form, hundreds of toads came to offer treasures. The Fortune Holding the Boy chose a copper coin from them, turned it into his natal treasure, and refined it using the Law of the Same Boat."

"Legend has it that anyone who obtains this coin will be blessed by the fortune of the Golden Toad Clan. Not only will they be blessed with good fortune and prosperity, which will benefit their descendants for generations to come, but they will also be able to glimpse the secret of immortality."

"But people who have money will also subtly sign a contract with the Wealth Boy. Half of everything they have must be shared with the Wealth Boy as a reward. And this contract cannot be violated. This is the terrifying thing about the Wealth Boy's Law of Sharing the Same Boat."

"But it was because of this gold coin that the boy got himself killed. His strength was not that strong among the strong men who set up the Dao mark, so he wanted to use this method to rob others of their blessings. As a result, he was hunted down by a Dao master, who buried his Dao and laws. After several civilizations, he has not reappeared in the world."

"Now that this gold coin has fallen into your hands, I think it is the fortune-grabbing boy hiding in the ravines who wants to use the same old trick to rob you of your luck and destiny."

"Do you want to integrate this copper coin into your body and sign a contract with the Fortune Boy to stick together through thick and thin?"

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the details of the text, he chose "no" without even thinking about it. This was obviously a big trap. How stupid must he be to take possession of something with such huge hidden dangers.

He remembered watching a movie before, in which Gu Zai played the role of Yin Yang Road, who made a deal with an evil ghost and gave half of everything he had to the other party in exchange for a large amount of wealth, but ended up destroying his family. This money-carrying boy was probably the same way, so it was better to stay away from him. "You chose to discard the copper coin in your hand, but just after you made this decision and threw the copper coin into the gully next to you, you suddenly heard a huge toad humming, and suddenly a golden light suddenly surged in front of you. A huge three-legged golden toad appeared in your field of vision, looking at you with resentful eyes, and holding a golden coin in its mouth, which was the copper coin you discarded before."

"You have discovered the fortune-carrying boy."

"The money-carrying boy emerges from the ravine, opens his jeweled mouth, and releases a huge suction force, as if he wants to suck you into his stomach and forcibly merge the money-carrying boy with you, so that you become the creator of the Law of the Same Boat."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you choose to sit back and wait for death, allowing the other party to swallow you? Or will you choose to fight back and compete with the fortune-grabbing boy?"

Needless to say, the result is that Jiang Xinghuo is not the type of person who would just accept things as they come. If others don't provoke him, he doesn't want to provoke others, but if others provoke him, he won't back down.

"You performed the Golden Light of the Earth spell, and turned into a stream of light that flashed behind the Fortune Boy, then placed both hands on the Fortune Boy's huge body. The Nine Heavens Jade Purity Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder instantly spread out under your palms, like a golden lightning net that firmly trapped the Fortune Boy. However, you found that the Fortune Boy was not injured. Instead, the knot treasure on his body suddenly opened up and swallowed all the lightning into his body. As you watched, you were about to be swallowed by the Fortune Boy, and another thing in your arms suddenly emitted black light and quickly merged into your body."

When Jiang Xinghuo read this text, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought, oh no, I bought a watch last year, but now there is another problem. Could it be that some evil thing is targeting me again?

"You feel a cold force emerging from your body, and then the limb splicing phase automatically activates. Countless limbs and arms tumble in the thick black fog, emitting shrill screams, as if they have encountered something terrible. You can clearly feel that your limb splicing phase is changing in some unknown direction, and you have no way to stop or control this change. You can only let it develop naturally."

The development of the situation has now gone beyond Jiang Xinghuo's control. He has no way to stop it and can only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the changes in the limb splicing method will develop in a good direction.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Jiang Xinghuo felt like more than half an hour had passed, but in reality only about five minutes had passed when the text in the game finally had subsequent developments and changes.

"You have mastered the art of hand-eye coordination."

"Hand-Eye-All-Seeing Method (growth technique), after mastering it, a thousand hands and a thousand eyes can evolve behind you. The thousand hands can support the sky and split the earth, and the thousand eyes can see through the reality. The hand-eye-all-seeing method can achieve a solemn Dharma body, sitting in the three realms and ten directions, and can control the earth, water, fire, and wind. The power and prospects are closely related to the cultivation of the practitioner."

"Your limb splicing form has been altered by the Hand-Eye-All-Knowing Technique and has been forcibly corrected into the Hand-Eye-All-Knowing Technique."

In reality, Jiang Xinghuo's mind moved, and a black mist immediately emerged behind him, and then evolved into dozens of arms of different shapes, slowly blooming to both sides like lotus flowers, with an eye embedded in the palm of each arm.

When it is not opened, it looks like an ordinary palm, with ordinary palm lines at first glance, but if it is opened, you will see those eyes that seem to contain magical power, which can not only see through the truth and falsehood, but also confuse people's minds and make them fall into illusions invisibly.

Jiang Xinghuo noticed the changes in himself in reality, and the character in the game showed his magical powers with this set of hand-eye magic.

"You used the Sky-piercing Hands and Eyes technique. Thirty arms of different shapes quickly stretched out and directly grabbed the huge body of the Fortune Boy. Then you pulled it to both sides with force. The Sky-piercing Hands and Eyes burst out with a powerful force, and actually tore the body of the Fortune Boy in half."

"The Wealth-Carrying Boy roared in pain, and gathered his body again, roaring, hoping to rush over and swallow you into his stomach. But before he could get close to you, a majestic Dharma body that blocked out the sky and the sun suddenly appeared, with thousands of arms embedded with eyes behind it. With a simple wave of its hand, palm prints poured down from the sky like heavy rain, directly blasting the Wealth-Carrying Boy into the abyss, and he could no longer pose a threat to you."

In a trance, Jiang Xinghuo only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he seemed to really see a majestic thousand-handed Dharma body, sitting in the void, blocking out the sky and the sun. However, this illusion-like perception only existed for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

"You saw a certain Taoist master imprisoned at the end of the prison of all things, and obtained his inheritance. This Taoist master invited you, hoping that you could go deeper and go to the end of the prison of all things. He has something to ask of you. Do you want to continue exploring?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a moment and decided to accept the other party's invitation.

No matter who the other party is, at least I owe him a favor and inherit the skill of the All-Seeing Hand. Otherwise, I would probably have to continue to fight with that big toad.

Of course, the most important thing is the opponent's strength. As a Dao Lord-level existence, judging from the content described in the game text just now, even if he has been imprisoned in this place, he still has powerful power.

So after considering various aspects, Jiang Xinghuo decided to agree to it first. At least he had to find out what this "Prison of All Things" was and whether it was the residence of those powerful people whose road signs were destroyed after their death.

"You chose to accept the other party's request and continued to explore further along the cracked land."

"At the same time, the last thing in your arms also emitted light. It turned out to be a miniature Taoist temple. The material was extremely special. It was neither stone nor iron, nor gold nor wood. It was made of one piece without any traces of chiseling or axework."

"You have obtained the Four Saints Tongtian Temple."

"Four Saints Tongtian Temple (epic material), a Taoist magic weapon left over from the secular civilization nine epochs ago. It is engraved with the Dharmakaya images of the Taoist Four Saints of the North Pole. It has the ability to suppress all external demons. It can be integrated with one's own organs to refine it into a temple of the five internal organs, or it can be integrated with the fragments of the cave to become a Taoist temple. However, it must be supported by something to exert its power, otherwise it can only exist in the form of a micro-carving."

"What are you going to do with this Four Saints Tongtian Temple?"
