Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 201 What is the Heavenly Book?
Among the immortals and gods, Nuwa and the Heavenly Emperor were never on good terms.

Prince Changqin was a celestial being born from Nuwa's technique of guiding souls. Who in the heavenly realm did not know this?

While the collapse of Mount Buzhou was a major event, the responsibility could not possibly fall on the shoulders of a mere immortal who played the zither.

The most direct cause of the collapse of Buzhou Mountain was that the fire god Zhurong and the water god Gonggong dared to directly invade the territory of Zhulong's son, Zhonggu, in the dragon's lair of Buzhou Mountain to capture Qianyu, which led to a great battle between the two sides.

However, all of this ultimately stemmed from the arrogance of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, he was the master of all gods, in charge of the way of the world, and he did not take anyone else seriously.

When sending people to capture Qianyu, they did not investigate Qianyu's origins carefully. Instead, they sent the fire god Zhurong with Prince Changqin straight to Buzhou Mountain to capture people in the territory of Zhonggu.

Zhong Gu was the son of the creator god Zhulong. If it weren't for the old friendship with the god Pangu, Zhong Gu wouldn't even take the gods and immortals seriously.

When Mount Buzhou collapsed, Fuxi immediately blamed it on his son, Prince Changqin, saying that it was because he played the zither poorly that Mount Buzhou collapsed.

After all, Zhurong, the god of fire, and Gonggong, the god of water, were both primordial deities. Even Fuxi, the Heavenly Emperor, dared not remove them from the list of gods. Prince Changqin was the god who helped Nuwa, Nuwa's mortal enemy, to ferry spirits, so he was the perfect scapegoat.

At that time, Nuwa was working with the human emperor Shennong to control the floods and prepare to mend the sky, and had no idea about this matter.

She was a kind and compassionate person by nature, and after witnessing the tragedy of Prince Changqin, Nuwa couldn't help but feel guilty.

In particular, the appearance of Baili Tusu later made Nuwa quite reluctant to let him go, which is why she finally saved him.

"However, even I never expected that the once-murderous sword, Fenji, would undergo another transformation in your hands."

Nuwa couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaofan with a hint of amazement in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan raised the Burning Sword in his hand, his gaze fixed on the still menacing blade, and suddenly asked.

"Goddess Nuwa, I want to know, how does the power of the Burning Sword compare to the ancient Ancestral Sword, Severing Life?"

"The Ancestral Sword Severs Life?"

Nuwa looked dazed upon hearing this. That sword had never been mentioned again since that year. To the gods, that sword was a taboo.

That was something that could truly kill them, and what's even more ridiculous is that the sword was forged by a mortal in the eyes of the gods.

After regaining her senses, Nuwa looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a slight smile and said softly.

"You also want to challenge the gods?"

"No, I just want to challenge the fate I've always been challenging!"

Zhang Xiaofan spoke solemnly, gazing up at the azure sky. It was as if he could see the majestic Heavenly Emperor through the endless firmament. He then spoke softly.

"The fate of humanity should not be in the hands of gods, especially not in the hands of a god who has no compassion and only arrogance!"

Nuwa was slightly taken aback, and a strange light flickered in her eyes. After a pause, she whispered.

"I look forward to that day, and I hope you can do things that I can't."

After saying that, Nuwa looked at the sword in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, then pointed lightly at Zhang Xiaofan's chest and said with a smile.

"As for the power of the Burning Sword, I don't know either. At least, it has surpassed the other six fierce swords, but just how powerful it will be depends on how you forge its edge." "Thank you, Goddess Nuwa!"

Zhang Xiaofan responded in a deep voice, but Nuwa smiled and shook her head. Then, as if she remembered something, she spoke up.

"As for the place of reincarnation you are looking for, it is long gone."

Where is it now?
Zhang Xiaofan's pupils narrowed slightly, and then he asked.

"But is it because of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"That's right. This world was originally a world outside the human world. The place of reincarnation was also the Netherworld that connected the human world. Later, the Heavenly Emperor severed the connection between the human world and other worlds, so that reincarnation no longer existed here, and there were no more souls to guide people."

Nuwa sighed softly. The Heavenly Emperor was domineering, and she and he had a lot of disputes. But the Heavenly Emperor was in charge of the Heavenly Realm, so Nuwa could do nothing about it.

"Alright, if you have any further questions, we can discuss them later. There's something you're looking for in here."

Upon seeing this, a sudden inspiration flashed through Zhang Xiaofan's mind, and he quickly asked.

"What exactly is this celestial scripture?"

"You'll have to find the answer yourself!"

Nuwa smiled and then disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, which had been opened in a cave.

Zhang Xiaofan sighed when he saw that the statue of Nuwa had disappeared.

"Xiao Fan, what's wrong? What happened?"

Just then, Lu Xueqi's voice suddenly came from the side, and then Little Grey also squeaked, as if it was also curious.

Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and saw that Lu Xueqi looked blank. He knew in his heart that it must have been Nuwa who had blocked Lu Xueqi and the three spirit beasts' senses.

After shaking his head at Lu Xueqi, Zhang Xiaofan didn't say anything more and walked into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, which was wide open in the cave.

Although the stone doors of the treasure vault were wide open, for some reason, the light from outside seemed unable to penetrate. The Heavenly Emperor's treasure vault was quite dark inside, with only a faint, dim light illuminating it.

The light kept changing, first a soft pale purple, then turning cyan, and quickly becoming dark green. However, although the color kept changing, it remained a cold and eerie hue.

Upon entering the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, Zhang Xiaofan noticed a wooden platform in the center, about half a person's height, with a round log as thick as an infant's arm connecting to the foot of the platform, which supported a platform about a foot in size.

In the middle of the platform, there was a cup that looked like it was made of wood. The cup was about three inches tall and no more than two inches wide. It seemed to be connected to the wooden platform and even to the Jianmu tree underfoot.

At this moment, the small wooden cup contained a transparent liquid, and a small transparent stone was suspended on the surface of the liquid. The special optical fibers were emanating from that stone.

Upon entering the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, Zhang Xiaofan faintly smelled a delicate fragrance, which he assumed was emanating from the spiritual herb.

Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward, reached out and gently sucked on the small stone, then picked it up and examined it closely.

After taking a closer look, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrowed slightly. The small stone contained an astonishing life force, and even faintly, a vast heavenly might.

This made Zhang Xiaofan curious about the origin and purpose of the stone.
