Chapter 61: Taoist Heaven and Earths Visit to Wuzhuang Taoist Temple (Part I) (2/2)

Zhenyuanzi sent the Ginsengs to Minghe and said, ”Here is some fruit from the Ginseng Tree. A present to you, for saving Hongyun.” Though Minghe had gotten the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, after all, he had taken it from Kunpeng, not by robbing Hongyun. And, most importantly, he saved Hongyun. Therefore, Zhenyuanzi felt very grateful.

”I accept it. I've heard about the Ginseng fruit. They are really unusual,” said Heaven and Earth Taoist. Again he waved his sleeves and the fruit vanished. He didn't take the time to taste them since he had pressing things to do.

Since Heaven and Earth Taoist did not taste them, Zhenyuanzi knew Minghe must have sent him here for some other reason. Or, he would not be hiding in the Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd, to avoid being recognized by others.

Zhenyuanzi said, ”You are not here just for Hongyun. Since Fellow Taoist Minghe saved Hongyun, be free to tell me what it is you need. I'll do as much as I can.”

Heaven and Earth Taoist smiled and thought Zhenyuanzi was so smart. Of course, Minghe would not waste time just for sending Hongyun's remaining soul back. Then he said, ”You are really intelligent, indeed my veneration has something to consult with you.”

”What is it?” Zhenyuanzi asked. He thought that Minghe must have something important to share, or he would not be so cautious. Heaven and Earth Taoist said, ”The first thing --- Can I borrow your Book of the Nether World? ”

Zhenyuanzi was skeptical. He wasn't afraid of being robbed, but this was his Eternal Spiritual Treasure. Why was Minghe so interested in it? Yet, without giving it another thought, Zhenyuanzi took out his Book of the Nether World and gave it over to Heaven and Earth Taoist.

Taking the Book of the Nether World, Heaven and Earth Taoist started to enlighten it all at once. Meanwhile, Minghe, in the blood sea, received Heaven and Earth Taoist's Spiritual thoughts and was enlightening the book's contents at the same time, by the Law of Spiritual Beings.

Minghe was curious about it. Among the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal, The Heaven Book was Investiture of the Gods, which was to entitle the Gods of the Heavenly Court and it was the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court. The Book of Life and Death was the supreme treasure of The Nether World, which was in charge of the Creatures' lives and deaths----all of those under the Sages-to-be level would be recorded in it.

What about the Book of the Nether World? Together, with the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death, they made up the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal, which had surprising magical power. Therefore, Minghe sent Heaven and Earth Taoist to find out its secret. Perhaps Zhenyuanzi could be his ally, if all was as he presumed.

Zhenyuanzi didn't stop them. After a short while, Heaven and Earth Taoist opened his eyes with a smile on his face. He gave back the book to Zhenyuanzi and said, ”Fellow Taoist Zhenyuanzi, you should enlighten this book carefully. It is really an extraordinary resource. Perhaps you'll find your way of actualizing in it.”

Zhenyuanzi was amazed, he had had this book for a very long time, and it was his Eternal Spiritual Treasure, yet he still hadn't found out his way of actualizing. Even though he knew about its great defense strength, by calling up the power of leyline, he had still not found his way. Heaven and Earth Taoist just read the book once and was able to completely enlighten it, revealing some secrets, based on his look.

Just as Zhenyuanzi was about to ask, the Heaven and Earth Taoist said, ”I know what you want to ask me, but the secrets of heaven cannot be released. You need to figure out your own way. I cannot help.” Hearing that, Zhenyuanzi calmed down. That was right! He needed to figure out the best path for himself. Others' opinions might not be the truth.

Minghe himself, far away from here in the Blood Sea, was smiling. Just as he had presumed, the Book of the Nether World held a shocking secret, the same as the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death. When properly used, a competitive force would rise, which would be able to rival the Heavenly Court and the Nether World. However, you win some, you lose some. So, Zhenyuanzi would not be a Carefree Immortal anymore.
