Yinshan Record

Chapter 803 Golden Crow Fire Pill and the Heavenly Treasure Record (Part 2)

"Whether or not you have divine blessings is another matter, but your rules here are certainly quite strict."

Su Che glanced at the kneeling Changsheng Sect disciples below: "I just wanted to borrow two books, and you're making excuses and even giving me a list. Was this something Hua Gu instructed you to do?"

Jiang Liuyun, kneeling below, dared not utter such words. Everyone knew that the current Palace Master Yang was at the height of his power and was the most untouchable figure in the sect. He hurriedly tried to defend himself.

“Even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn’t have such rebellious thoughts. When Senior Brother Sun came before, he said he wanted to borrow the Record of All Heavens. This book is a bit strange, and I didn’t dare to send it directly to the Elder Hall.”

Jiang Liuyun knew that today's disaster was undeserved, so he explained the situation in detail.

"So that the elders may know, it is not that we disciples are being presumptuous, but that the Record of All Heavens compiles the origins of the holy names and magical powers of various demon lords, and therefore has a unique and mysterious nature. It cannot be preserved on jade slips with magical power, nor can it be written on paper. It must be made of sandalwood that is more than two hundred years old, refined with secret methods to make it into a book, and then carved with a copper knife. Otherwise, the names of various demon lords will resonate with each other and secretly conform to the holy way, which will cause evil demons to grow, and the book will inevitably be destroyed."

In the cultivation world, using jade slips as a medium for recording is a high-end technology. A jade slip the size of a palm can hold millions of words, and everything can be vividly presented simply by channeling one's divine sense into it.

The next level is to record with paper, which is similar to how ordinary people write. However, cultivators have eyesight and writing skills that surpass those of ordinary people. They can write thousands of tiny characters on a single page. After writing, they can refine the characters slightly using the methods of weapon refining, and the characters can be preserved for a long time.

The lowest level of work is this kind of arduous work as the Records of the Gods, which is no different from ordinary books, and even more troublesome.

"Such miraculous power exists; it seems it was my fault."

Upon hearing this, Su Che roughly understood the situation.

It turns out I've been too arrogant and domineering, which has made things difficult for my disciples.

"In that case, get up. Liuyun, take me to the place of the Records of All Heavens. I have some things to look up."

"Disciple, obey."

Jiang Liuyun felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly led the disciples of the library to their feet.

He led the way, respectfully guiding Su Che to a huge underground cave.

"Reporting to the Elder, this Record of All Heavens is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. It is located in the fifth, seventh, and ninth secret caves of the character '甲'. I will now open the secret caves and invite the Elder to view them at will."

Jiang Liuyun took out a large string of keys from his sleeve. They shimmered with a precious light and were actually magical artifacts that had been refined.

The key was inserted into a hole in the cave wall, and as it slowly rotated, the cave door opened.

As soon as it opened, a howling, eerie wind burst forth from it.

However, it vanished without a trace in an instant, leaving one wondering whether what had just happened was real or an illusion.

This Record of All Heavens is indeed quite mysterious.

Su Che stepped into the cave and saw tall bookshelves filled with books, each containing a scroll as thick as a child's arm, neatly arranged in categories.

The first thing you see when you look up is a collection of books by the "Supreme and Unparalleled Heavenly Demon King," also known as the Primordial Demon Lord.

Su Che glanced through it briefly. It was full of parallel prose praising the Primordial Demon Lord. The language was quite ornate, and there were also some rituals on how to worship him. After a quick scan, Su Che put it aside.

Below that are names such as "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord" and "Five-fold Heavenly Lord," all listed in the "Respect Section" of the upper part.

These are the names and rituals of the demon lords, which seem to exist only vaguely. These demon lords have vanished without a trace over the long course of time, leaving only their names and corresponding rituals. Therefore, only the relevant records have been preserved and are collectively listed in one volume.

Su Che had little interest in the skeletons in the tombs; his target was only one person.

That is "the Lord of the Destroyed Demons".

After searching through the Records of All Heavens for a long time, Su Che found no record of this person.

Could it be divided into the middle and lower parts?

Upon considering this, Su Che felt it was unlikely.

After all, this Demon Lord is the big boss behind the Longevity Cult, and should be placed first after the Primordial Demon Lord to show respect.

"Where did the records of the Demon Lord of Annihilation of Law go?"

Su Che turned to ask Jiang Liuyun, who was standing outside the cave.

"Reporting to the elder, the records concerning my Holy Lord were borrowed by Chief Beggar Liu Hua a few days ago." Su Che frowned upon hearing this.

What does Hanako Ryu need this for?
Judging from how the Record of All Heavens is managed, this book is probably rarely borrowed. In fact, because it is so precious, a secret cave has been specially set up for its management.

For no apparent reason, Hanako-ryu suddenly decided to use the method from the Record of All Heavens to destroy the Demon Lord; there must be something sinister about that.

"Go and fetch me the borrowing records of the Records of All Heavens from within the sect over the past two years."

Su Che gave the order.

"You take Sun Cheng and handle this personally, without alerting anyone else. I'll wait here."

Jiang Liuyun looked troubled: "These past two years... these past two years may have been too many records. Because our sect only has one general ledger for borrowed books, there are no separate ledgers."

“That would be even better. You two go and copy it now, without alerting anyone else. I will stay here and observe the Records of the Heavens.” Su Che looked at Jiang Liuyun and said, “I will wait for you here. Only the two of you should know about this. Not even Hua Gu can know. You should know the importance of this.”

Although both of them appeared to be at the Rejuvenation stage, Jiang Liuyun's forehead was already covered in beads of sweat.

For those who practice the Elixir of Immortality, this is already a sign of losing control due to fear.

"Disciple accepts the order."

Sun Cheng finally realized what was happening, and Jiang Liuyun nodded hurriedly as well.

While Su Che was looking at the records in the Records of All Heavens, three hours passed before Jiang Liuyun came running over with a thin booklet in his hands.

"Reporting to the elder, everything has been taken care of."

Su Che nodded and opened the record.

In two years, the Record of All Heavens was lent out seventy-six times. Su Che looked at the names on it and asked Sun Cheng and Jiang Liuyun next to him whose disciples these people were.

“Ma Lixing, this is Huan Dan, a disciple of Yu Wangji.”

"Yelü Cheng is a disciple of Chief Jin and also a cultivator of the Rejuvenation Elixir."

"Both of them are learned and well-versed in books."

Jiang Liuyun added, "He has a deep understanding of rituals and ceremonies."

…………

Su Che read it through roughly, seventy-six times. Among them, the Hanako school only borrowed it twice, and both times were recent.

It was interesting to borrow three books in total: one was about the mighty and fearless demon king Narayana, another was about the records of the Demon Lord of Extinction of Law, and the third was about the Demon Lord of Juntian Guangle.

What's even more interesting about the Demon King Juntian Guangle is that he borrowed the relevant records more than a year ago, and recently he even took away the ritual of worship, along with all the records of the Demon Lord of Extinction.

This is where things get interesting.

Su Che smiled slightly.

"Thank you both for your hard work. Sun Cheng, go back and fetch a Five Dragons Locking Pill from the alchemy room for Jiang Liuyun."

"Yes, Hall Master."

"Elder, this...this is far too valuable..."

"I'll go and demand an explanation from Hua Gu another day, and I'll take control of you and this library."

Su Che looked at Jiang Liuyun and said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Elder...this..."

"Since what I want to see is with Hanako-ryu, I'll go and visit Hanako-sama."
