Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Um....."

The old man nodded gently and said, "It has its own name, and it's what you want."

"Could it be..." Jiang Mo's pupils contracted slightly.

"The Book of Time is an innate magical artifact born before the Primordial Era. It was created carrying the will of Heaven and Earth. During the ancient war, it was fought over by powerful beings from both the human and demon races, resulting in its shattering and scattering across the human world."

Unlike ordinary humans who divide history, cultivators in the secret realm divide history into five eras: the Primordial Era, the Ancient Era, the Prehistoric Era, the Medieval Era, and the Early Ancient Era.

The Archean period is 10,000 years ago, while the remaining four historical periods vary in length: the ancient and prehistoric periods are both 3,000 years old, while the medieval and early modern periods are 2,000 years old.

"A primordial magical artifact born from the will of heaven and earth?"

Jiang Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this concept.

Having the memories of the Supreme Being, he naturally knew what this meant. It was probably the most powerful magical artifact in history. At least man-made magical artifacts could not compare to it. Even the supreme treasure of the sect, Wuliangjun, would pale in comparison to it.

The Venerable One's greatest wish before his death was to one day ascend to the 7th level of the Profound Fate Realm, travel among the mortals, and find a Primordial Magic Artifact for the sect.

In ancient legends, the number of innate magical artifacts nurtured by the entire world is unknown, but three are known: the Book of Time, the Heavenly Heart Jade which controls the tribulation of lightning, and the Chaos Cauldron which tempers all things and enables the ultimate leap.

"Yes... that is a supreme magical artifact capable of modifying everything, even the Master and Dao Lord are no exception, they are all subject to its control and manipulation."

Xianhua sighed softly, her eyes showing a dazed look, and then said:

"As people get older, they may not remember many things clearly, but there are two theories about the destruction of the Book of Time."

"Firstly, it was the powerful beings of the human race who did it intentionally. In that era, their strength was slightly inferior to that of the demon race. If they had tried to seize it head-on, they would definitely not have succeeded. So they laid an ambush at the coordinates where the Book of Time appeared. In the end, they paid a heavy price to kill the Book of Time and some of the powerful beings of the demon race. The powerful being who led the human race back then was the Longevity Dao Lord. There were dozens of others who accompanied him, but in the end, very few of them survived."

"Secondly, the Book of Time has never been destroyed. From its birth, it has had a vague independent instinct. This instinct cannot evolve into consciousness, but it has given it the authority to activate itself to a certain extent. The great race between humans and demons was also created by it as a smokescreen to cover itself."

Jiang Mo was increasingly alarmed as he listened; a magical artifact could actually achieve such a level of power.

Do you know about the Battle of Linghai, which took place 3,200 years ago?

Linghai, in ancient times, generally referred to the sea area east of the Nine Provinces.

"I don't know." Jiang Mo shook his head.

"After the demon race disappeared, many years passed and the situation remained turbulent. Three thousand two hundred years ago, several secret realms in the west obtained secrets revealed by traitorous evil cultivators. It is said that fragments of the Book of Time appeared in Xuanhuang Ridge, and they came together to try to seize it. Later, the two sides fought a battle, resulting in heavy casualties."

Throughout history, the more powerful a person is, the less they want their fate to be threatened at will, because the Book of Time has already caused enough chaos.

Xuan Hua's eyes were as calm as a deep lake as he looked at Jiang Mo and asked:

"If you were to live another life and had no other choice, what would you do?"

"We are determined to get our hands on it."

Jiang Mo replied without hesitation that such a magical artifact was too dangerous, and he did not want himself and his disciples to be constantly threatened with becoming puppets.

"They're all the same now."

Xianhua smiled helplessly; he had made the same decision.

At this moment, the Flying Immortal Master walked out of the thatched hut and came to the old man, handing him a larger fragment with both hands. It was of the same material as the one Jiang Mo had given him earlier.

"Uncle-Master, here are the things you requested."

"Hmm... let me take a look."

The old man held the two fragments in his hands, examined them carefully, and after a long while, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He then made his final statement:

"That's it..."

"They are exactly the same, but they must be two different pages. Without a doubt, this is a fragment of the Book of Time."

"?!"

The Flying Immortal Master's pupils suddenly dilated. He naturally knew this secret as well, and immediately connected it with everything that had happened on the battlefield, instantly understanding what the time reversal was all about.

"How did it work?" Jiang Mo pressed on, as if it were nothing short of a miraculous resurrection.

"Then I don't know."

"At least, so far, I can't afford the cost of acquiring it."

"I obtained that fragment a long time ago, before you came. I did a divination back then, and I was afraid I wouldn't be alive now if I wanted to know the secret method to activate it."

Xianhua couldn't help but sigh, "Young friend, you killed that person too early."

The master of Chengtian Dao Sect possessed the means to activate it during his lifetime. Whenever Jiang Mo thought of this, he felt quite helpless. At that time, the battle was urgent, and he could not afford to be distracted. If he relaxed, the opponent might escape. In order to eliminate the powerful enemy as much as possible, he had no choice but to execute him on the spot.

"Senior, is there a solution?"

Jiang Mo didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he asked again.

Whether used as a means of self-preservation or for the future resurrection of the deceased, this Book of Time is far more convenient than the ancient physique.

"Yes, but you will have to bear the cost yourself, and the secret technique you obtain can only be applied to you."

Xuan Hua's gaze shifted from the two fragments. He slowly raised his head, looked at Jiang Mo, and said with a smile:

"Do you have any ideas on how to collect these scattered fragments next?"

"What you want to do is very simple; it's nothing more than rewriting established historical facts, and it can definitely help you."

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Mo saw a terrifying sharpness in the eyes of this old man who had one foot in the grave. He cautiously retorted:

"Senior, what is your intention in helping me like this?"

"Are you really not afraid that once I have all the fragments of time, I will completely erase your existence?"

The safest way for someone who possesses the Book of Time to remain undetected is to eliminate all those who know the truth, hide behind the scenes, and rule over all beings.

Jiang Mo hasn't reached that point yet, and he doesn't dare say whether he would do it.

Even though he has the ability to destroy many Masters and is not afraid of being surrounded and annihilated, it is definitely worth doing something similar to deleting all those in the know with one click.

"Erase my existence? Then erase me. I'm just a person with only a tiny bit of life left, so it doesn't matter to me."

Xianhua remained completely calm and composed, without the slightest fluctuation, and said:

"With all the fragments gathered, the fate of all living beings can rise and fall in your hands if you so desire. And you are still young. No one in this world can stop you. Without any hesitation, you can do whatever you want. Whether you become a saint or a tyrant, even a demon cannot stop you, let alone an old man like me."

"I have no hope for this extraordinary undertaking, but I happen to have a request, so I might as well help you achieve it."

"Once it's done, we can erase the Chengtian Dao Sect and the Yellow Springs Underworld from the annals of history."

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "You trust me that much?"

"Because I know that you have never liked to manipulate the fate of all living beings, and you also cherish your own fate exceptionally, not allowing anyone to control it. Therefore, I will not be afraid that you will obtain the Book of Time, but it is hard to say what will happen if others obtain it."

Xuan Hua spoke a lot in one breath, and was a little tired. He gently pushed the five fingers of his right hand, and the two floating fragments floated to Jiang Mo's front under the silent gaze of the Flying Immortal Master.

"In order to prevent this world from falling into the hands of people we despise, neither of us has a choice."

"Go ahead and do it. Even if you don't collect all the fragments in the end, it's still a good ending. At least you'll have some fragments in your hands, and the Book of Time will never be complete, nor will a monster that controls the fate of all living beings be born."

After a moment's consideration, Jiang Mo uttered a "good" and raised his right hand to grasp the two fragments tightly, indicating that he had accepted the deal.

"By the way, the other incomplete fragments are not necessarily all within Kyushu. You'll need to spend a lot more time and effort on those."

"It's alright, I can wait."

Jiang Mo was certain that as long as he proceeded steadily and surely, his lifespan would be at least five hundred years, during which time he would have enough time to explore every corner of this world on foot.

"Then I wish you all the best," Xianhua said, her voice filled with anticipation.

He, along with the previous Flying Immortal Master, his master, and the two previous Flying Immortal Masters, together continued their feud with the Chengtian Dao Sect and the Yellow Springs Underworld for over a thousand years. In the end, they still couldn't destroy them and were already exhausted with little hope left.

As for Ji Lingchuan's generation, Xuan Hua had no hope. With his time drawing near, all he could think of was using Jiang Mo to wipe out the two major sects.

"When does the price you mentioned, senior, begin?"

Jiang Mo wanted to master the secret method of activating the Book of Time as soon as possible.

"About half a month later, I will make some preparations. My friend, you can wait for my visit in your own secret realm."

"Okay, I hope you arrive as scheduled. See you there!"

Jiang Mo offered the old man tea to express his gratitude. The two talked for a long time until sunset before he got up and left.

Chapter 475 Gathering All the World's Geniuses

night.

At the Trinity Gate, in the Sutra Repository, Jiang Mo sat quietly on a futon, holding an ancient book in her hand. The cover was inscribed with ancient characters, meaning "One Hundred Physiques of Humanity." The contents concerned all the innate physiques that had appeared or been rumored throughout history, along with various methods of identification.

This ancient book is a treasure of the Flying Immortal Sect. Usually, only elders and core members at the sect leader level can read it. It was given to Jiang Mo when he was discussing innate physique with Elder Xuan Hua.

The exact date of its writing is unknown, but it is conservatively estimated to be over 7,000 years ago. It is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. The author of the upper volume is unknown, while the middle and lower volumes were written by the Flying Immortal Sect starting from its founder and were continuously improved by successive sect leaders and masters before they were completed.

The paper of ancient books is particularly thin, like a cicada's wing. When you turn the pages gently, you don't even make a sound. The text on them is less like text and more like inscriptions containing some unknown energy.

When Jiang Mo's gaze swept over the yellowed characters, even though he was unfamiliar with the script, a related information naturally arose in his mind, as if it were an innate breathing instinct.

The content is transmitted the moment they come into contact, without being limited to written text as the medium of transmission.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Jiang Mo followed the catalog and found the location of the 'Reverse Life Physique', which was ranked sixteenth. It was considered a mid-to-upper-level physique. There were three people who possessed it. The first one was a cultivator from ancient times. His cultivation level and age were unknown. He had the appearance of a Dao Lord, but not the substance of one. He perished in the war against the demon race.

The second person in the middle stage is the sect's ancestor, whom Jiang Mo is familiar with. He is a master of the first generation, a Xuanming 4th level, and left behind a thousand-year lineage.

The third one is a mortal cultivator from nine hundred years ago. He was very talented, but because he had no background, he was targeted by some secret realm forces before he could rise to power. They attempted to assassinate him and seize his body, and he seemed to have succeeded in the end.

Because of the preciousness of innate physiques, there has never been a shortage of powerful human cultivators who would secretly launch attacks against those with innate physiques whose wings have not yet fully grown.

They often succeed by overwhelming the sect with their cultivation and numbers, and then transplant the body to the sect's aging elders or the master.

After researching, Jiang Mo gained some understanding of the differences between the two types of physiques: "Reverse Life" and "Longevity".

The former's strength lies in its abundant blood and qi, making it three to five times stronger than cultivators of the same level. It has a near-significant weakening effect on damage caused by all spells, weapons, magic tools, and physical techniques. It has extremely strong regenerative ability and is difficult to kill. Especially after reaching the Great Perfection stage, its weakening effect on external and internal injuries may even achieve complete immunity.

This is why the Three Ancestors, despite only having the cultivation level of the fourth stage of the Profound Fate Realm, were able to compete with other Dao Lords and Masters in his era. Without such abnormal strength, he simply could not have protected his secret realm.

The contents of the ancient book are undoubtedly true and completely match the sect secrets that Jiang Mo knew in his memory.

The Longevity Physique, on the other hand, focuses more on the aspect of 'longevity'. Their physical body and soul are much weaker than other innate physiques when breaking through, so they can cultivate more naturally. When they achieve minor success, they have a lifespan of 300 years. When they reach the highest level, their lifespan exceeds 500 years, which is similar to that of ordinary masters. When they achieve major success, their lifespan is at least 700 years.

Unlike other innate physiques or ordinary constitutions, which require the physical decay and spiritual decline that cannot be avoided during cultivation, the longevity physique is unrestrained in both form and spirit, and will not suffer from these calamities of premature aging.

Due to its unique characteristics, it is also listed as one of the best physiques to cultivate, ranking 12th.

However, Gu Zhou's physique ranking was not as high as Jiang Mo had imagined, only 28.

Basically, most of these physical constitutions are possessed by only one or two people, and even the most common Vajra Immaculate Body is only possessed by five people.

Next, Jiang Mo scanned through all the physiques in the ancient book. Each physique had its own unique characteristics and there was no obvious restraint relationship.

Even the oldest author noted that it was merely his own opinion, not an absolute statement of fairness or accuracy, and could only provide a general reference.

After all, what makes someone strong is their personality, not their physical strength. Especially after reaching the level of Master or Dao Lord, the gap between them won't be so wide.

In addition, the book also records some quasi-innate physiques. Most of them possess abilities similar to some innate physiques, but not in a comprehensive way. However, they still have high talent and potential, and there are quite a few cultivators of this type who have achieved the position of Master.

The candlelight on the table flickered gently, and time passed silently.

Several hours later, when Jiang Mo put down the ancient book, he had a complete understanding of the innate and secondary innate physiques described in the book. He couldn't help but sigh that there really were such people as the favored children of heaven in this world.

Some people have walked on thin ice for three hundred years, yet still cannot ascend to the position of Master;

However, some people, namely those with the Chaotic Physique ranked first, can achieve it directly in one step, regardless of their cultivation level. They reach the end as soon as they start cultivating, and they regard the hard work and effort of many people who suffer under the scorching sun and moon as nothing.

What a mixed bag!

“…”

Putting away the ancient book, Jiang Mo made a decision immediately. With a population of over a billion in China, the various sects had only selected a group of relatively powerful awakened individuals and martial artists, but that did not mean that other lower-ranking individuals had no hope at all.

That said, that disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect was from Jade Craft University...

Jiang Mo was indeed interested in innate physical attributes, but he was too lazy to search through the vast sea of ​​people. Rather than doing so, he preferred to use the Nine Ministries and the Security Council to conduct a large-scale search.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo took out the mobile phone that Yu Huai had previously provided for him and logged into the unique quantum encrypted communication channel step by step. There were dozens of avatars on it, corresponding to the heads of the nine departments, the top two leaders, and the three chairmen of the Security Council.

He then chose to create a temporary group chat, clicked on the profile pictures of Ning He, Xu Qiuyu, Zhang Zhiwei, and Wei Yuanming, and dialed their numbers...

"Beep beep!!!"

The phone rang softly for several seconds, but the two Security Council chairpersons, whose profile pictures were grayed out, showed no sign of coming online. Meanwhile, Ning He and Xu Qiuyu, who were online, quickly responded.

"Xuan Zun?!"
