World version update

Chapter 33: Last Week's Ancient Books

"Why does it sound familiar?"

"Hunting more than 100,000 wild beasts? Crossbreeding spirit beasts with missing souls? Refining the Ten Thousand Beasts Banner?"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then an idea emerged in his mind.

"The beast-slaying demon the stall owner is talking about, isn't that me?"

During the three months of the apocalyptic version, Lu Yan hunted more than 100,000 zombies and sacrificed more than 100,000 zombie souls before he obtained the Hundred Souls Banner in his storage bag.

World version updates will bring endless changes to the world, and can create or erase some things out of thin air, but in most cases there are always traces of some things in different versions.

Lu Yan sacrificed more than 0.2 zombie souls, and even caused a % version change value for the doomsday version. The changes brought about were mapped to the fairy-xia version through information, and became the result of his deep into Wushan Mountain to crazily slaughter the beasts with the blood of spiritual beasts.

Of course, this does not mean that zombies are necessarily equal to these wild beasts. After all, in the apocalyptic version, zombies are spread all over the world, and there are even powerful zombie kings comparable to those in the foundation-building period. They are completely different from the beasts in Wushan.

There are connections between different versions, but they are not one-to-one corresponding. This is the norm for world version updates.

Realizing this, Lu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was slaughtering zombies in the apocalyptic version before, Lu Yan had thought about whether the information of these zombies he had harvested would be mapped to other versions and would become the basis for him to kill ordinary people in large numbers.

Although he had some concerns at the time, Lu Yan did not give up because of fear. Instead, he relied on the convenience of the doomsday version to quickly improve his strength and accumulate trump cards for himself.

Now it seems that although the name of the beast-slaughtering madman is not nice, it is much better than being a murderous demon who becomes the public enemy of righteousness, and it is still within the acceptable range.

After listening to the stall owner's story, Lu Yan showed an appropriate look of shock on his face.

"I didn't expect something like this to happen in Wushan!"

The stall owner enjoyed Lu Yan's shock very much. He was in the habit of throwing out some information that ordinary cultivators didn't know, so as to build a closer relationship and make them become repeat customers.

"But speaking of which, how did you know about the Beast-Slaughtering Madman and the Ten Thousand Beasts Banner? Did anyone see that madman in Wushan?"

The stall owner waved his hand and said casually: "It's no use asking me about these things. I just listen to other people talking about them.

After the news spread, it was heard that Wanling Mountain was preparing to send a great foundation-building cultivator to Wushan to investigate, but all the news came to nothing.

After all, they are just 100,000 beasts, not worthy of the attention of those bigwigs."

As they were talking, a cultivator came to buy a book of talismans. The stall owner immediately went up to him and negotiated a deal for two spirit stones in a few words.

After putting the two spirit stones into the storage bag, the stall owner explained to Lu Yan with satisfaction:
“In fact, I think that although this matter has been widely circulated, it itself is not very reliable.

In three months, he slaughtered 100,000 wild beasts, killing more than 3,000 wild beasts a day. Not to mention how difficult it was to find so many wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Even if the wild beasts stood there for him to kill, it would be impossible for an ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivator to kill them all.

Besides, the Ten Thousand Beasts Banner derived from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is even more nonsense. If other creatures could really be used as substitutes for refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Demonic Path would have dominated the world of immortal cultivation long ago."

At this point, the stall owner snorted with disdain:
"In the initial battle between good and evil, the trigger for the defeat of the Demonic Path was the divine punishment, but before that, the Demonic Path had already shown signs of decline.

The reason is very simple. The Demonic Path was already bloodthirsty at the time. They slaughtered too many mortals to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and did not consider sustainable development at all. As a result, in the later stages of the war between good and evil, there were not many mortals left to continue extracting souls and refining spirits as materials for refining the Soul Banner. The Demonic Path also thought of using the souls of other creatures as substitutes, but no matter whether it was wild beasts, wild beasts, or spiritual beasts, they could not replace human souls.

The shapeshifting demons can be refined into soul flags, but the problem is that the shapeshifting demons are comparable to Jindan Zhenren in terms of cultivation and their numbers are rare. It would be better to find a way to ambush and kill the righteous Jindan Zhenren if you have the time."

"Only the human race is the leader of all spirits in the world, blessed by heaven and earth, and the resentful ghosts and ghosts refined by their souls have the potential to grow.

If the soul of a wild beast is used as a substitute, even if the soul flag can be refined, it will only be a superficial appearance.

Not to mention that the wild beasts in Wushan are the result of the hybridization of the bloodlines of spiritual beasts. Many of them were rejected by heaven and earth at the moment of their birth. Their three souls and seven spirits are incomplete and they are completely worthless waste.

If I really want to use the souls of these beasts to refine soul flags, it is impossible unless the heavens bless me!"

The stall owner's confident words shocked Lu Yan.

Although this matter seems to be nonsense to others, as a person who has witnessed several version updates, Lu Yan knows very well that this matter is not false.

The zombies and wandering souls he slaughtered lacked the souls of heaven and earth, and their origin could be traced back to the beasts of Wushan.

The version update transformed the incomplete souls of these beasts into seven human souls, which possessed characteristics similar to those of human souls, allowing Lu Yan to use the wandering souls of zombies to refine the soul flag.

To some extent, aren’t the changes brought about by the world version update a blessing from heaven?

There was a hint of surprise in Lu Yan's eyes when he looked at the stall owner.

This stall owner is only at the sixth level of Qi training, but his knowledge and vision seem to far exceed this level.

Before Lu Yan could speak, the stall owner suddenly pulled out a book from the messy ancient books on the stall.

“Since we have a connection, I will sell this copy of The Theory of Heavenly Dao to you for ten spirit stones.

This is a serious ancient book that explains the great principles of heaven and earth and the foundation of all things. It is said that it also contains secrets that can lead to immortality."

"Pfft!"

As soon as the stall owner said this, the stall owner selling herbs nearby couldn't help but laugh:
"A shabby book full of wild guesses and no substantive information dares to call itself a classic. You, He Dongsheng, are really crazy."

He Dongsheng was not angry when he was exposed on the spot, but just smiled awkwardly and said:

“Although Theory of Heavenly Dao has nothing to do with spiritual practice and only expounds on some principles of heaven and earth, it is indeed a genuine ancient book.

Look at the aging of the pages, the cover, and the incomplete ancient Taoist text. It is definitely a rare treasure.

They don't buy it because they don't know the value of it. Maybe your chance has come and you can comprehend the great way of heaven and earth from it. Then ascending to immortality will definitely not be a dream!"

Lu Yan looked at the book "Theory of Heaven's Way" in He Dongsheng's hand. He could faintly smell a light scent of tea from the book, and his eyes suddenly changed.

Soaking paper in tea to make it look old is the most common method of making book pages look old in urban editions. Even Lu Yan, a layman, has heard of it.

This book "The Theory of Heaven's Way" doesn't look like it's from ancient times, but from last week!
