From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 358 No Hee Hee

You Ming began selecting items from the treasure vault with great interest.

However, he was also careful not to empty the treasure trove. He only selected some useful materials that could promote the development of Yuanling Mountain.

For example, there's the "Clear Spring" that can enhance an animal's intelligence, as well as some crops that can be grown on a large scale, such as "Green Corn" and "Heavenly Fragrant Melon," and some ordinary cultural artifacts and calligraphy.

The Clear Spring, needless to say, combined with the Spirit Awakening effect of the Embryo Light Seal on animals, can greatly increase the number of demons in the mountains, which is also a significant source of incense offerings.

【Green Corn】 and 【Heavenly Fragrant Melon】 can be grown locally or hybridized with common grain crops and then promoted to improve the health of local people.

As for those antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, although they are mundane objects, they are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless literary masters among ordinary people. They contain a rich literary spirit, and for deities, absorbing this literary spirit can ensure a clear mind, a stable divine position, and reduce the risk of being affected by impurities from incense offerings.

Of course, what You Ming really valued was the vast array of cultivation techniques and methods contained within.

He had previously been confined to Yuanling Mountain, and the highest level of the various techniques he had ever encountered was the [Classic] level.

He has his own path of cultivation, so naturally he wouldn't practice these techniques. However, different techniques can determine his perspective and experience.

In particular, the cheat code [Divine Magic Workshop] can design supernatural powers and spells according to his needs, but all of this is based on his own knowledge reserves.

It took him more than three years and tens of thousands of incense offerings to develop the supernatural power [Dream Breath Lock], because his knowledge reserves were not enough.

If he has read a large number of classic texts and witnessed a vast array of supernatural powers, this speed will be greatly enhanced, and it will also save a lot of incense offerings.

You Ming is currently using the [Divine Art Workshop] to nurture a ranged attack divine ability. He has already invested 30,000 incense offerings, and it is estimated that it will take about two years to hatch. He is taking this opportunity to read more classic texts to shorten the nurturing time of this divine ability.

……

Most high-ranking deities have a habit of hoarding various treasures because they have long lifespans, do not have the same sense of urgency as cultivators, do not need to cultivate, and do not need to learn supernatural powers and spells. Even their official duties are handled by their subordinates and staff, so they can only find some fun in other places.

You Ming's divine sense swept over the Jiang Shen Niangniang's treasury, which contained a vast collection of books, numbering in the tens of thousands. These books covered various methods such as "scriptures," "canons," "books," "methods," and "techniques," as well as many mysterious supernatural powers, magical spells, notes, and insights.

However, to You Ming's surprise, there was not a single Dao-level technique in the entire treasury, and there were only three Scripture-level techniques.

He originally thought that even if Dao-level techniques were rare, they shouldn't be anything special for a powerful immortal like him.

But now it seems that even the highest level of Buddhist teachings is extremely precious.

Since there was the best available, You Ming naturally started by reading the three [Scripture] level Dharma teachings.

【Tianyuan Lingjing】, 【Taiyi Zaohua Jing】, 【Longmen Du'e Jing】

Throughout his cultivation journey, You Ming has never truly witnessed a complete [Scripture]-level Dharma. Even the passage he heard when Qinglian Jun disintegrated was merely a fragment of the [Tide Source Limitless Scripture].

Unfortunately, even though You Ming was extremely tempted, he had already stepped into the [Dharma Aspect] stage and his foundation was already established. Unless he completely dissipated his cultivation or reincarnated to start over, it would be extremely difficult for him to switch to other cultivation methods.

He could only continue moving forward step by step, and perhaps one day he would be able to obtain the complete text of the "Tide Source Limitless Scripture".

Because You Ming is a water elementalist, the first book he opened was the [Heavenly Abyss Spiritual Scripture]. This scripture, like the [Tide Source Limitless Scripture], is a branch of the water path, but it describes the way of the abyss and sea.

You Ming reached out and stroked the yellowed scripture. The cover seemed to be formed from endless flowing water. The moment his fingertips touched it, the sound of cold water and the vast ocean waves rushed into his ears at the same time.

You Ming took a deep breath, turned to the first page, and was still quite excited.

However, the moment the book was opened, it was as if the world had fallen silent. He felt a momentary daze, and an endless abyss appeared before him.

The seawater wasn't blue; it was so deep and unfathomable that it seemed to lead to an eternal void.

Amidst the undulating waves, one can see the rising and falling of stars, the overflowing of rivers, and the ebb and flow of all things.

You Ming suddenly felt his mind reeling, his thoughts surging, and indescribable images flashing before his eyes. A massive amount of information that he couldn't comprehend rushed in.

"Fool, don't you know your own cultivation level? How dare you look directly at a [Scripture] level technique?"

The baby beside him sneered, feeling utterly humiliated to be imprisoned by such a fool.

However, he immediately became worried again.

He had restricted me so much; what if I died along with him?
His previous claim of being forced into reincarnation was merely a last resort, a form of coercion. In reality, the Heavenly Realm is very strict in this regard, and his reincarnation this time was achieved through the use of numerous connections and resources.

Damn, this is so annoying!
Upon realizing this, the baby immediately stopped giggling.

However, when he turned around to think about whether to pull You Ming away from the scriptures, he suddenly realized that the boy's eyes had regained their clarity.

Its eyes were calm, its body exuded Daoist charm, and behind it appeared a phantom image, with countless streams of water rushing back and forth, constantly falling into a deep abyss.

"Is this... enlightenment?"

The infant was completely stunned. Even cultivators in the upper three realms wouldn't dare to say they could directly face a [Scripture] level technique; only true immortals could bear it.

Although many young cultivators nowadays believe that the more powerful the cultivation technique, the better, and even force themselves to cultivate profound [scripture] level chapters when their cultivation level is low.

But in the eyes of those powerful figures, this kind of thing is just considered extremely stupid.

Any Dharma teaching at the level of "Canon", "Book", or "Dharma" is derived from the "Scripture" level Dharma teaching. It contains the wisdom and improvements of generations of cultivators and is absolutely the most suitable for cultivators at the current level.

If you attempt to cultivate at a higher level, unless you are truly exceptionally talented or perfectly suited for it, it will only have the opposite effect.

"This kid is so weird."

But now, the baby only felt that his past experiences were collapsing. Damn it, this kid was actually comprehending the Dao, and he was comprehending a path that was not his original one.

How is this done?
Could he also be the reincarnation of some powerful being? Just a few years earlier than me?
The baby looked at You Ming suspiciously, and the more he looked, the more he felt there was something wrong with this. Otherwise, how could this kid have mastered such an unsolvable spell that even made him suffer a setback?
