Zhan Shen: I am the spokesperson for the Great Love Immortal

Inside the Pill Hall before him, despite its name, he did not see any pill furnaces or pills. Instead, he saw piles of books and manuals.

Seeing Fang Si begin to search through these manuals, Zhan Yuwu and Yan Zhong, having recovered from the terrifying aftershocks of the battle, also joined in.

"Hey, isn't this the Pill Hall? Why don't I see many pills? Instead, there are quite a few books." Zhan Yuwu said somewhat speechlessly as he flipped through the books.

Because the door was closed, there was no light source inside the hall, resulting in extremely low visibility.

In addition, it was already difficult for military officers to read books, and now it was pitch black, so their mood was naturally not very good.

At this moment, Jialan closed the door of the Pill Hall and used the formation inside the hall to isolate the aftershocks from the outside. Then he walked towards the crowd and explained things to them as he walked.

"This is not the Pill Hall. The main hall next door is the Pill Hall. We are currently in the Dharma Hall, which is the main hall where the Queen Mother of the West collects secret techniques and weapon-making skills."

As she spoke, a strange light appeared on Garan's hand, and as she pressed something, the entire hall gradually lit up.

First, a blue light, like the starry sky, appeared above the vast gate and roof. Then, the books on the bookshelves in front of Fang Si and the others turned into streaks of starlight and flew into the sky.

In just a short while, they went from a pitch-black hall to a starry sky full of stars.

Upon seeing this, Fang Si and Yan Zhong were stunned for a moment, while Zhan Yuwu looked up blankly and slowly uttered two words.

"Holy crap!"

There was nothing he could do; the military officer was uncultured and truly didn't know how to express his awe.

As soon as Zhan Yuwu spoke, Fang Si realized what was happening and asked Jialan.

"Can we read these books?"

Jialan was somewhat troubled. According to common sense, these books were the Queen Mother's collection, and outsiders were not allowed to look at them without her permission.

However, she found it difficult to say that she wouldn't let Fang Si and the others watch.

There's no other reason than that she's inexperienced and doesn't know how to refuse others. After all, Lin Qiye and his group not only saved her but also helped them solve the troubles at Yaochi.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Garan finally nodded.

"Sure, Brother Fang, just lock onto whichever book you want to read with your mental power, and the array will automatically place the book in front of you."

"However, Brother Fang, most of these books contain secret techniques collected by the Queen Mother of the West and methods for forging weapons. Even if there are other spells, they are few in number, and basically, mortals cannot use them."

Upon hearing Jialan's words, Fang Si nodded and thanked him.

As he conjured the thought, a star-like object was drawn down and landed in his hand, transforming into a book.

Upon seeing Fang Si begin reading, Zhan Yuwu and the other man immediately followed suit and began to peruse these secret techniques.

However, Fang Si's reading was not like Zhan Yuwu and the others', which involved swallowing books whole just to broaden his knowledge. He genuinely sought out useful information from these secret techniques.

As he climbed over, he gradually discovered something.

The books here, although each has a very impressive name, such as "Nine Refinements to Pure Yang Body Transformation Technique" and "Seven Emotions and Six Desires Brahma Technique".

However, in reality, these techniques all share a common characteristic: to practice them, one must possess the corresponding laws or similar characteristics.

As for ordinary people, they naturally cannot use it.

As he read more and more, his face grew increasingly dark.

Although Jialan said that most of the books in the Queen Mother of the West's collection were useless to mortals, Fang Si was not a fool; he was not as naive as Jialan.

How could a top-tier powerhouse like the Queen Mother of the West, a supreme deity, possibly have a meager collection?

Putting aside everything else, among the thousands of books, there must be secret techniques that ordinary people can use; it's just that he hasn't found them yet.

As he flipped through the pages, Fang Si sighed.

His luck is as bad as ever.

Chapter 556 Truth and Falsehood

As the group continued to flip through the books, they soon discovered secret techniques that could be used by ordinary people.

However, the person who found it was Hu Jia, whom they hadn't been looking for.

Speaking of Hu Jia, this newcomer who had just joined the Zhenxie Division, his presence along the way was even lower than Fang Si's because his cultivation level was not as high. He was almost invisible.

However, it seems that heaven favors people like him, so he was the first to discover the secret manuals that mortals can use.

Upon flipping to this manual, Hu Jia immediately shouted.

"Everyone, look at this book, 'The Art of Concealing Souls,' it can even be used by mortals!"

His shout immediately attracted the attention of Fang Si and the others, who then surrounded him.

However, once Fang Si understood the function and cost of this secret technique, he lost interest in it.

The main purpose of this book is to allow people to forge their souls into weapons when they are on the verge of death, nourish them with immense fortune, and ultimately achieve eternal life by preserving their souls.

Although it sounds very tempting, the price is also extremely high. In the process of using the secret technique, it is necessary to peel off skin and bones, and cut open the heart and take blood. It is completely a demonic technique.

Fang Si looked at it for a while, memorized it, and kept it in his heart.

Now, this secret technique is dispensable to him; he can simply store it away as a trump card. Therefore, he continued to flip through the books, searching for a secret technique that suited him.

Hu Jia and the others, however, were not as greedy as him and were currently studying and discussing the "Soul Concealment Technique".

As he flipped through the pages, Fang Si finally found a different kind of book. In fact, calling it a book was less accurate than describing it as a sheet of paper made of gold.

Apart from the three prominent large characters at the beginning, the contents of this paper consisted of rows of densely packed small characters and the signature at the end.

As Fang Si focused his gaze, the contents immediately appeared before his eyes.

This book, or rather, this secret method, is called "Truth and Falsehood".

Although the name doesn't sound like a secret technique, but rather like a literary work, it is actually an extremely sophisticated secret technique.

Moreover, what this secret technique describes happens to be exactly what Fang Si needed.

Of course, this book is also unusable for ordinary people, because to use this secret technique, one needs the laws of truth and falsehood.

The book mainly discusses how to use concepts to form entities, and it covers a wide range of topics, starting with abilities, also known as forbidden realms, and going all the way to the transformation and utilization between laws.

At the same time, the cost is also very obvious. To achieve the secret technique "Truth and Falsehood", one needs to sacrifice the two laws of truth and falsehood to form the core of eternal proof.

This so-called eternal proof core is actually a product between truth and falsehood, and theoretically, it can serve as the core that forms the foundation of all things.

With the page on the core of eternal proof, the true secret technique has been read. The last page only has the signature of Yeland's authorship.

After reading this book of secret techniques, Fang Si found what he was looking for and stopped searching for secret techniques that ordinary people could use.

Because he felt that he most likely wouldn't be able to turn the corner.

Although it's certain that it exists here, finding that particular book among tens of thousands of volumes is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Fang Si even felt that it was fate's arrangement that he was able to get his hands on this book.

As Fang Si stopped turning the pages of the book, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were responding to fate. As the book "Truth and Falsehood" in his hand turned into starlight and flew back to the sky, the doors of the Dharma Hall were gently pushed open.

……

Not long ago, just as Lin Qiye and the others were fighting fiercely with Jumang and Zhurong, a huge mirror suddenly appeared in the sky.

As several beams of light shone out, they easily froze Lin Qiye, Huo Qubing, Chloe, Jumang, and Zhurong in place.

Immediately afterwards, two Queen Mothers of the West appeared at the same time and killed the two gods Zhu Rong, who had been immobilized by the Kunlun Realm, with a wave of their hands.

Immediately afterward, just as the two Queen Mothers of the West were about to attack Lin Qiye, Huo Qubing, and the others, Lin Qiye suddenly unleashed his social skills, forcefully persuading the two Queen Mothers of the West with his flawed explanations and irrefutable facts.

After all, other things can be deceiving, but the Primordial Spirit Embryo is constant and unique.

Since Lin Qiye is now using the Primordial Spirit Embryo, his words are undoubtedly the truth.

Having persuaded both Queen Mothers of the West, Lin Qiye, claiming he could distinguish the real from the fake, stabbed the imposter Queen Mother of the West in the kidneys.

As the Kusanagi Sword pierced through the counterfeit Queen Mother of the West's waist, Lin Qiye let out a soft sigh.

"Queen Mother, please don't blame me. Even if I had told you everything beforehand, I couldn't guarantee that the body of Kusuon wouldn't temporarily change your perception."

Moreover, I believe you wouldn't want the already dilapidated Yaochi to truly be destroyed, would you?

To be honest, if he had a choice, Lin Qiye would be willing to give the fake Queen Mother of the West a dignified death.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

If you tell the fake Queen Mother of the West that she is a fake, then Khusun will definitely change her perception immediately, thus achieving her goal of bullying her.

Once the counterfeit Queen Mother of the West's perception is altered, and she gains control over the supreme artifact Kunlun Mirror and the entire West Kunlun Secret Realm, it will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge to Lin Qiye and his group.

Therefore, Master Lin chose to strike first.

As the fake Queen Mother of the West's kidney was pierced by the Kusanagi Sword, the real Queen Mother of the West, Huo Qubing, and others immediately reacted and attacked the fake one. In the blink of an eye, they had turned her into a willow branch.

With the fake Queen Mother of the West killed, the immediate crisis in Yaochi was naturally alleviated, and the only remaining threat was the real Kusuon outside Kunlun Mountain.

Seeing that Yaochi was safe, Lin Qiye pushed open the door of the Dharma Hall and went in to find Fang Si and the others.

At this moment, when they saw Lin Qiye push open the door of the main hall, Fang Si and the others were stunned. They then realized that the fake deity outside should have been dealt with.

Lin Qiye smiled at the stunned Fang Si, "Let's go, Lao Fang, this time it's really solved."

"So fast?" Fang Si was somewhat surprised. Although he no longer had any intention of finding secret techniques that mortals could use, he still wanted to look at these treasures a little longer.

After all, these are all treasures collected by the Queen Mother of the West, and would be considered precious items even in the outside world.

Lin Qiye nodded without saying much, but secretly gave Fang Si a look.

His relationship with Fang Sheng was not only one of life-or-death bond, but also one of brotherhood that lasted for ten years. Therefore, he understood Fang Sheng's character very well.

Therefore, even if Fang Si didn't say it, he knew what Fang Si wanted to do.

Therefore, the purpose of his wink at Fang Si was to tell him to stop for now, because the real culprit was coming.

Seeing Lin Qiye's signal, Fang Si, though unsure why Lin Qiye knew his habits so well, tacitly refrained from looking at the manuals and instead led Hu Jia and the others out of the main hall.

Chapter 557 Clear Rewards and Punishments

As Fang Si followed the others out of the main hall, he immediately saw the Queen Mother of the West waiting outside with Huo Qubing and the others.

At this moment, although the Jade Pool was filled with blood and the aura of ruin, the Queen Mother of the West, as the actual controller of the Jade Pool Secret Realm, did not look the slightest bit disheveled.

She was still radiant with divine light, her black robes fluttering in the wind, and from time to time, an aura of holiness and purity emanated from her, making her unforgettable.

It was precisely because of the unique aura of the Queen Mother of the West that Fang Si was able to immediately determine that the newly appeared deity was the Queen Mother of the West, and not some minor deity such as a maid or guest.

As everyone left the main hall, they quickly bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother of the West."

Despite the greetings from the crowd, the Queen Mother of the West didn't even glance at them. Instead, she focused her gaze on Jialan among them and frowned.

"Jialan? Didn't I tell you to come back in three days? Why have you returned to Yaochi ahead of schedule?"

Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West's greeting, Garan was momentarily speechless, but at this moment, Lin Qiye stepped forward to offer an explanation.

“I brought her back. This time we came to Yaochi not only to help Yaochi overcome its difficulties, but also to ask Your Majesty to help us contact the Heavenly Court.”

Then, Lin Qiye briefly explained the current situation.

After Lin Qiye finished speaking, the Queen Mother of the West nodded gently.

"Your deduction is correct. The Heavenly Court is not located within the world, but in the endless starry sky beyond the realm. It is indeed impossible for you to find the location of the Heavenly Court on your own."

However, a few days ago, the Celestial Venerables joined forces to stop a strange thing… well, based on your analysis, it should be a so-called "counter-elemental" creature, so even if I notify the Heavenly Court of the Outer Realms for you now, they won't be able to spare any resources.”

Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West's words, everyone fell silent for a moment.

However, not long after, Huo Qubing said it with absolute certainty.

"Seven Nights, let's go. Even without the help of the gods, we cannot abandon the millions of people of the Han Dynasty."

As he spoke, Huo Qubing patted the shoulder of Lin Qiye, who was in silence, with a firm look in his eyes.

"Even if it's just us, we might not be able to defeat that Kusuon."

Hearing Huo Qubing's words, which were passionate yet clearly meant to comfort him, Lin Qiye nodded and offered Huo Qubing a word of comfort in return.

“I understand, Lord Marquis. However, the situation is not that bad yet. Kusuen’s main body has not yet escaped from Kunlun Mountain. Within Kunlun Mountain, Her Majesty’s Kunlun Realm can temporarily hold him back. Therefore, there is no need to worry for the time being.”

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Huo Qubing remained silent, but the Queen Mother of the West glanced at Lin Qiye with surprise.

She looked Lin Qiye up and down, and then said.

"You seem to know a lot about the Kunlun Mirror. It seems you've even glimpsed its splendor in the future."
