After clearing up the misunderstanding, Luo Qianqiu asked earnestly, "May I ask if my current cultivation level is sufficient to help the God-King escape his predicament?"

"No hope—your cultivation level is still too low—" Jiang Taixu's words came out in fits and starts.

Luo Qianqiu's strength in sweeping across the four extreme secret realms might be considered outstanding among the younger generation, but in this Purple Mountain, even a random ancient creature might be beyond Luo Qianqiu's ability to handle.

"Look closely—I'll teach you a move—" At this moment, Jiang Taixu's divine sense transmitted out again.

Luo Qianqiu knew that the other party was preparing to pass on the Battle Saint Technique to him, so he concentrated his attention and stared intently at the stone wall.

After a long while, a figure was suddenly reflected on the bright and clean purple jade wall. The figure was thin as a rake, with long hair that was longer than the body.

"Watch carefully." Jiang Taixu rarely spoke in a complete voice, and it sounded somewhat solemn.

Then, he struck a strange pose and fell backward.

At the same time, a profound and concise incantation appeared in Luo Qianqiu's mind, each word seemingly containing endless mysteries.

"This is the Battle Saint Technique. It is simplified from complex and then simplified again. Every word seems to contain millions of variations!" Luo Qianqiu only thought about it once, but he saw why the Battle Saint Technique was so powerful.

This is an extremely terrifying combat technique that encompasses all offensive methods and is not limited to any particular move or style.

If one cultivates it to perfection, one's fists, palms, fingers, legs, elbows, and even every inch of skin can unleash terrifying destructive power; it is a true holy art of combat!

However, the secret technique is incomplete; what Jiang Taixu just taught was merely the starting stance of the Battle Saint Technique.

Even so, the secret method is extremely complicated, and even those with decent talent need to spend a considerable amount of time to master the basic techniques.

But who is Luo Qianqiu? Leaving aside the Crocodile Ancestor's cultivation experience, his five transformations of the primordial spirit alone greatly increased his comprehension.

Although the primordial spirit and comprehension are not directly related, those with a strong primordial spirit often have good comprehension, indicating a certain correlation between the two.

Therefore, he mastered the starting stance of the Battle Saint Technique almost by simply reciting the incantation once.

"Senior, what happened next?" Luo Qianqiu asked curiously.

There was silence on the other side of the stone wall. After a long while, a weak voice said, "You've figured it out?"

"I have good talent and was lucky enough to understand it," Luo Qianqiu said modestly.

"Make your move!" Jiang Taixu wanted to see the results and confirm whether the other party had truly met the standard.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqiu held nothing back, unleashing his starting stance with a terrifying surge of fighting spirit. He seemed to have transformed into a war god, clearly having grasped the essence of the technique.

Such skill is a level that many people may never reach in their entire lives.

"I never imagined that such a prodigy would be born into the Jiang family bloodline in this lifetime!" Jiang Taixu's divine thought rang out, somewhat gratified.

"God King, you may have misunderstood. I am not a member of the Jiang family," Luo Qianqiu said truthfully.

"No wonder—" Jiang Taixu recalled that the young man was not practicing the Hengyu Scripture, but rather a scripture from the Western Desert.

But he wasn't surprised. The Jiang family had stood in the world for hundreds of thousands of years, so it was perfectly normal for their bloodline to continue to exist.

Therefore, Jiang Taixu affirmed, "Your bloodline is pure—you are undoubtedly a member of the Jiang family—your ancestors came from the Jiang family."

His condition was really bad; even using his divine sense to transmit his voice was difficult, and his vital energy had long since dried up.

But when Luo Qianqiu appeared, his bloodline resonated with him, proving that the other party was definitely a member of the Jiang family, and very powerful.

But he could no longer perceive anything more specific.

Jiang Taixu didn't say anything more, but continued to teach the remaining moves and incantations.

After imparting the secrets of the Dou character, he weakly said, "Leave Zishan—you can go to the Jiang family—to learn the Hengyu Scripture!"

He was exhausted and could no longer teach Luo Qianqiu the Hengyu Scripture, but he couldn't bear to see such a powerful Jiang family bloodline not practicing the Hengyu Scripture, but instead cultivating the scriptures of the Western Desert.

It wasn't that Jiang Taixu looked down on the scriptures of the Western Desert, but rather that, compared to the two, the Hengyu Scripture was definitely more suitable for Luo Qianqiu.

The reason is that learning the Hengyu Sutra through the bloodline of the other party is like receiving divine assistance, which is something that other scriptures cannot match.

"Uh!" Luo Qianqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but by chance, I have now switched to cultivating the Hengyu Scripture. Not only that, I have also obtained a divine artifact, which may be related to the Jiang family."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and summoned the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire. After a pause, he continued, "I was just thinking that if this furnace could help, it might be possible to rescue the God King."

"Li Huo—Divine Furnace!" Jiang Taixu's voice was somewhat emotional. Years ago, he was searching for this furnace when he discovered Purple Mountain and was attracted by its powerful structure, which is why he was trapped here for four thousand years.

After many twists and turns, the weapon eventually ended up in the hands of the Jiang family bloodline.

It has to be said that this seems like a destiny predetermined.

Jiang Taixu thought this way, but soon he realized something was wrong.

Because he was searching for the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire, he had consulted many ancient books within the Jiang family beforehand to learn about the secrets of this furnace.

For example, when Emperor Hengyu was forging the Sun God Furnace, he separated the weapon gods from the Fire God Furnace.

Therefore, the Fire-Separating Divine Furnace has no deity, which is why, when the furnace was later lost, the Jiang family was unable to recall it through the Divine Art of Controlling Soldiers.

However, because the Divine Furnace of Li Huo contains the laws of the Emperor's Way, its secrets cannot be calculated and can only be found by human effort.

However, even powerful ancient families could not completely excavate the vast Northern Region, which led to the loss of the Divine Furnace.

These events are all recorded in the ancient books of the Jiang family.

But now a problem arises: a weapon without any divine power can be used by anyone who finds it, without needing any weapon control techniques, but how much power it can unleash depends entirely on the user's cultivation level.

The level of cultivation of the War Lord determines the power that the Divine Furnace can unleash.

But now, this pattern has been broken!

At this moment, the Divine Furnace of Li Huo was clearly in a state of gradual recovery. Even Jiang Taixu, who was trapped, could feel the fluctuations, which were significantly stronger than Luo Qianqiu's cultivation.

This is clearly abnormal!

At this moment, Jiang Taixu became somewhat unsettled. He mustered his spirits and focused his divine sense to communicate with Luo Qianqiu.

"After you obtained the divine furnace, did anything unexpected happen?"

He had a guess in his mind, but he felt it was too crazy and wanted to get a definite answer from Luo Qianqiu.

"There was something unusual. After I obtained the divine furnace, it resonated with me constantly, and then the bloodline within me awakened," Luo Qianqiu said truthfully.

Just as I thought! Just as I thought!

On the other side of the stone wall, Jiang Taixu was deeply shocked. His guess was correct: the reason why the Divine Furnace of Li Huo was revived was because of Luo Qianqiu's bloodline.

According to ancient records of the Jiang family, in the days before an emperor, a Great Perfection Holy Spirit wreaked havoc on the world, causing darkness and turmoil.

Later, a prince of the Jiang family was born, wielding the Divine Furnace of Li Fire to quell the rebellion. Although this artifact had no deity, in the prince's hands, its power was no less than that of a weapon of a Great Perfection Holy Spirit.

This demonstrates that the powerful Hengyu bloodline can enable this furnace to unleash its full divine might.

It was in that battle that a prince of the Jiang family perished, and the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire was lost and disappeared.

At this moment, Jiang Taixu was absolutely certain that Luo Qianqiu's bloodline was incredibly powerful, capable of reviving the Divine Furnace of Li Huo, and perhaps even comparable to that of an imperial prince.

Then, he could no longer remain calm. Even though he was almost out of breath, he still forced himself to concentrate his divine sense and said, "Leave Purple Mountain quickly and do not linger here."

A descendant of the Jiang family, comparable to an emperor, has been left behind and has even come to a dangerous place like Zishan!

If the other party were to die here by accident, it would be an unimaginable loss for the Jiang family.

Jiang Taixu was in a great hurry at this moment, as if he had experienced a sudden burst of energy before death, and his divine sense had become stronger.

But the price was that after saying those words, he fell silent and never uttered another sound.

Outside the stone wall, Luo Qianqiu tried to call out, but received no response. Jiang Taixu seemed to have passed away peacefully, and there was no sound from him anymore.

After waiting for two more days and finding that there was still no response, Luo Qianqiu had no choice but to leave the ancient mine and come to a vast cave.

One of our goals has been achieved, but we still haven't obtained the Source Book.

As for leaving, since we've already come all this way, we definitely need to obtain the Source Book before we can leave.

Luo Qianqiu was very careful. After each step, he would wait a moment to make sure there were no abnormalities before continuing to go deeper.

This time he walked for a long time, about two or three hundred miles, before finally reaching the end of the ancient mine.

Upon arriving at this place, Luo Qianqiu immediately sensed a sacred aura.

That was Origin Qi, but it was far stronger than Origin Qi!

Here, Luo Qianqiu saw an absolutely beautiful woman, sealed within a divine source, her beautiful eyes tightly closed, like a sleeping beauty.

"Yang Yi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi!" Luo Qianqiu's heart stirred, and he guessed the other party's identity.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Now that he had met the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, it proved that he was not far from the Origin Book.

Sure enough, after traveling several more miles, he entered a spacious hall.

"Zhang Jiye's remains!" Luo Qianqiu saw his target as soon as he entered the area.

It was a solitary skeleton, lying quietly in the main hall, with horrifying finger holes still visible on its stark white bones.

Not far from the skeletons, there lay scattered fragments of stone armor, made of the same material as the one worn by Luo Qianqiu.

The Source Book was right next to the white bone's palm, and it was made entirely of metal.

Luo Qianqiu strode over, reached out and picked up the silver book. On the cover were several powerful characters: Origin Book!

Luo Qianqiu's lips curled up. After taking such a great risk, he finally got what he wanted and obtained the Douzi Secret and the Yuantian Book.

He eagerly turned the pages, and a silvery radiance emanated from them, shimmering and dazzling.

Without a doubt, this is a treasure. Not to mention its contents, the material of this book itself is a rare and divine material for refining weapons.

It was because of this book that Zhang Jiye was able to break through Zishan, but he also lost his life because of it.

"Looking up, one observes the celestial phenomena; looking down, one observes the patterns of the earth; one observes the markings of birds and beasts, and the suitability of the land—"

Luo Qianqiu gazed intently at the contents of the Source Book, noting that the very first chapter elucidated the Dao of the Source Book. It expounded on the mysteries of Heaven, Earth, and Man, emphasizing that one can approach the Dao through the Source, with the ultimate goal of achieving unity between Heaven and Man, rather than merely being a sacred book for finding sources and gambling on stones.

After glancing through it briefly, he put away the Source Book, thought for a moment, and then put away Zhang Jiye's remains as well. Only then did he leave the main hall and return to the ancient mine where Jiang Taixu was.

Two days ago, the other party suddenly went silent. Luo Qianqiu was a little worried and wanted to find out the other party's condition before leaving Zishan.

But who would have thought that this wait would last for half a month.

Then, a voice, tinged with surprise and tension, rang out, "Why haven't you left yet?"

It was Jiang Taixu. After sleeping for half a month, he woke up.

Luo Qianqiu stood up abruptly and replied, "The God King suddenly went silent half a month ago, and I'm a little worried about your condition."

"Don't worry about me. Quickly, before those ancient creatures wake up, try to see if we can leave Purple Mountain," Jiang Taixu said anxiously, even at the cost of squeezing out his last remaining source of energy.

"God King, don't worry, I have a way to leave Purple Mountain." With that, Luo Qianqiu took out the Emperor Jade and continued, "This is the Emperor Jade left behind by the Great Emperor Wushi. As long as you place it on the Wushi Scripture behind the central temple, you can leave."

Hearing this, Jiang Taixu was relieved, but still advised, "Go quickly, don't worry about me. In my current state, even if you can break through the stone wall, I won't be able to get out."

Seeing that Jiang Taixu insisted, Luo Qianqiu knew that further persuasion would be useless, so he could only leave the mine and go to that ancient mine again.

Because he was very careful, his journey was very smooth as he did not disturb any ancient creatures.

After arriving at the main hall, Luo Qianqiu continued walking for two miles and finally saw the huge stone book, on which were written the words "The Beginningless Scripture".

In addition, there is the famous saying left by the First Breeze of Wushi: "At the end of the immortal path, who is the peak? Upon seeing Wushi, the Dao becomes empty."

Luo Qianqiu did not linger. He merely glanced at it casually, took out the Emperor Jade, and placed it into the groove of the Beginningless Scripture.

The process was very smooth, and there was no attempt to open the Beginningless Sutra.

"Buzz!"

Just as Emperor Yu sank in, the place became dazzling, with light shooting into the sky, and a huge light curtain instantly enveloped him.

As the void was torn apart, Luo Qianqiu's vision blurred, and when he reappeared, he was already in the Dragon Vein, having left the depths of Purple Mountain.

Reaching this point means the danger is completely over.

Luo Qianqiu's heart was finally at ease. Without delay, he strode out and soon returned to the ground.
