Strange world, I can seal the gods

Chapter 1257 The Truth in History Books
Cui Yu walked out of the dormitory and came to the northwest corner of the Taoist temple. He built a pavilion in the northwest corner of the Taoist temple, which was the place for the disciples of Xieyue Temple to buy and distribute talisman paper.

On the third floor of the pavilion, disciples were coming in and out one after another. Cui Yu came into the pavilion, only to see that the entire pavilion was filled with densely packed shelves, on which were placed cut talisman papers.

"Brother, do you want to buy some talisman paper?" When a disciple saw Cui Yu coming in, he immediately took care of him warmly.

"Buy one." Cui Yu took out two cents.

First of all, he really has no money now. Secondly, this is the talisman paper from Shen Yu's family. How could he help the enemy?
All disciples of the Taoist temple are not allowed to buy talisman paper outside. If they want to practice the art of drawing talismans, they must buy the talisman paper inside the Taoist temple. This is also one of the main sources of income for the Taoist temple.

As for those disciples who do not comply?
The punishment could be light, such as hard labor and confiscation of talisman paper; severe, such as expulsion from the mountain gate.

Hearing Cui Yu's words, the disciple who was welcoming guests suddenly became displeased. He took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Cui Yu in a bad mood, then took the two cents.

Cui Yu took the talisman paper in his hand, walked out of the Taoist temple slowly, and then came to an empty pavilion. He looked at the talisman paper from Chengyang Marquis' Mansion, and carefully used his magic power to sense it. After a moment, he saw the talisman paper turned into a ray of fire and exploded in the air.

"The quality of the talisman paper from Marquis Chengyang's Mansion is not as good as that from the young noble lady's family. But if you say that the difference is too big, that's not the case. Marquis Chengyang's Mansion has a shallow foundation. Although he is a marquis, he has no fiefdom. Marquis Chengyang's suppression of the young noble lady's talisman paper business is fake. The real intention is to force the young noble lady into a desperate situation and make her give up her own territory. But now that I'm here, I must make you retreat when you see difficulty." Cui Yu sneered.

"What a pity. The magical powers I cultivated in the Great Thousand World don't seem to be suitable for the Perfect World. There are always differences between the Great Thousand World and the Perfect World. The mantras born under the laws of the Great Thousand World are impossible to use in the Perfect World, so I need to find new ways to protect myself." Cui Yu muttered to himself.

But what surprised him was that the formula he got from the mysterious world actually perfectly matched the primitive world. Cui Yu was a little shocked: "That mysterious world and the primitive world must have an unknown connection in the dark."

Cui Yu was not too anxious about the magical power. Whether it was the power of destruction or the "Balance Transformation" and "Candle Dragon Transformation" he had obtained, they were enough for him to deal with emergencies at critical moments.

"I just now realized that the magical powers that the powerful beings from the prehistoric world brought with them were all improved versions for the great world, and were more suitable for the rules of the great world. But after returning to the prehistoric world, the improved versions can no longer be used." Cui Yu seemed to be thinking about something.

"There are too many things to do right now, so I'll start with the library and find out more truth about this world." Cui Yu said to himself.

Then Cui Yu sat cross-legged in the mountains to meditate and practice Qi, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and transforming it into magic power within his body.

On the second day, a big sun rose in the east. Cui Yu breathed in a breath of purple air from the east, feeling the energy contained in it. He couldn't help but wonder inwardly: "As expected of a perfect world, the big sun contains a strong sacred law, which is simply incomparable to the essence of the sun and the moon in the universe."

"The elder of the Dao Palace is giving a sermon this afternoon. In the morning, I happened to go to the library to look for classics and trace the truth of the ancient times."

Cui Yu came to the library along the way. The library of the Taoist temple was very large, a three-story building.

Cui Yu came to the small building with a nameplate representing his identity. There was a middle-aged Taoist priest with white hair and beard sitting in a rocking chair in front of the gate of the Taoist temple, swaying back and forth.

This person is the elder of the Sutra Repository. His surname is Xu, but his name is Cui Yu, whom I do not know.

He had white hair and a youthful face, and his body was full of vitality. It was obvious that he was a person who had achieved success in cultivation.

"I am Disciple Cui Yu, and I have come here to clean the Sutra Library on orders." Cui Yu bowed respectfully.

"You can't go up to the third floor. You can read the books on the first and second floors freely. The books on the first and second floors must be checked every day to prevent bookworms from invading them. The bookshelves must be wiped every three days to ensure they are clean. If there are any damaged books, they need to be copied out in time. Do you understand?" Elder Xu glanced at Cui Yu, then spoke slowly.

"Disciple, I understand." Cui Yu quickly bowed respectfully.

After taking a look at Cui Yu, Elder Xu continued to lie on the chair, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking about.

Cui Yu walked into the library and looked at the neatly arranged library. There were dozens of four-meter-high bookshelves in the library, which were filled with densely packed books.

Those books are of different ages, some are left over from ancient times, and some are recently collected.

Some of those books were carved from thick stone slabs, some were carved from jade, some were tanned from mysterious animal skins, and some were made from unknown materials.

Of course, ordinary paper books account for the majority.

The library was very quiet. There were disciples reading books inside, but it was not as tiring as Cui Yu had imagined.

"I wonder if there is an overview of the ancient times in these books." Cui Yu picked up a book casually and started flipping through it. After a while, he fell into deep thought. He had the Jade Butterfly of Creation in his soul. Although he could not develop most of the power of the Jade Butterfly of Creation at this moment, as long as he could develop a little bit of it, it would be enough for him to read ten lines at a glance.

"Most of them are incomplete secret techniques. They are placed on the lower two floors because they cannot be used due to their incompleteness. There are also some biographies of celebrities in the Taoist temple, as well as the cultivation insights of the predecessors." Cui Yu flipped through the books casually, and finally stopped when he turned to a tattered paper book.

The book is nameless but has a very old feel, as if it has been weathered by the years and will break into pieces if the palm of your hand moves it even slightly.

"This is a very old book." Cui Yu stroked the book in his hand, which was shaped like a notebook. Cui Yu opened the book, and then he was stunned the next moment.

Because this book actually uses Qin seal script.

Qin seal script is not important. What is important is that when Cui Yu looked at each character, there seemed to be infinite laws flowing.

"This is a handwritten letter from a cultivator above the Golden Immortal level." Cui Yu had a guess in his mind and looked at the text content. The first line was:
Alas, how sad!

The second line of words is: Heaven and earth have changed drastically, the path to immortality has been cut off, immortals have died after five years of decay, saints have gone far away to heaven, where is the future for cultivators like us?
The third line of words is: I only regret that I was born in the wrong era!

Cui Yu read on, and the more he read, the more shocked he became: "So that's it! So that's it!"

Cui Yu read every word carefully, and closed the book in his hand after a long time, his eyes full of shock: "In the past, when the immeasurable calamity came, the three religions suffered the greatest impact, and countless immortals died. The independent cultivators took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, wanting to seize the orthodox inheritance of the three religions. Because they lost the suppression of the top masters, the three religions suffered heavy losses and declined. In order to survive the immeasurable calamity and the five decays of heaven and man, the immortals in the world began to scramble for heavenly materials and treasures to prolong their lives, and thus a shocking war broke out."

That battle was so fierce that the sky collapsed and the earth tore apart, but in the end there was no winner. Even with the elixir of life, those immortals still died one after another from the Five Decays. Then the immortal lineage began to be cut off, and they lost control of the mortal dynasty.

The decline of the immortals gave the mortal dynasty an opportunity. Someone in the mortal dynasty inadvertently comprehended the Great Way of Turbid Evil and developed the Great Way of Bloodline to the limit. His power was even stronger than that of the qigong practitioners and more suitable for this world. Therefore, countless qigong practitioners were swept down to the mortal world and controlled by the mortal dynasty.

The realm of ordinary martial arts is to refine the tendons, strengthen the bones, exhale, refine the internal organs, and then follow the witch clan's path and awaken the bloodline magical powers. At this level, one can already compete with the masters of qigong.

The most important thing is that the bloodline ability comes from the inheritance of the ancient gods and demons, and it has unexpectedly embarked on the path of gods, which greatly increases the resistance to the five decay insects in the world. Afterwards, it draws the turbid evil air of the earth and uses it to temper the body. The turbid evil air of the earth has a restraining effect on the five decay insects. The five decay insects hate the turbid evil air, so the martial arts of the human dynasty began to prevail.

The Jade Butterfly of Fortune in Cui Yu's eyes began to operate, deducing the information in the jade disc, his eyes full of thought: "The turbid evil energy is the great way of gods and demons, the great way of the witch clan, and the so-called ordinary martial arts is actually the great way of the witch clan. The Qigong practitioners are constantly declining, and of course they are retreating step by step when facing the strong men of the witch clan."

Cui Yu's mind flickered with thoughts: "As for the Qigong practitioners, with the decline of Qigong practitioners, the mountains and rivers lost the plunder of Qigong practitioners, and the essence within them nurtured countless innate spirits. These innate spirits lived in the mountains and rivers, enjoying the incense of the world, and unexpectedly avoided the invasion of the Five Decay Insects. So some Qigong practitioners accidentally discovered the secret and walked out of a new road, that is the incense and spirit road!"

"When a Qigong practitioner breaks through the Great Circulation and is about to condense his primordial spirit, he will look for a mountain, a river, or a vast ocean, and build a temple to collect incense. At the moment of breaking through the primordial spirit, he will directly step into the road of becoming a god through incense, and become an acquired god. Acquired gods can avoid the invasion of the five decay insects, and can also control a mountain, a river, and a piece of land, which can be regarded as a great road. As long as the power of the gods continues to grow, one day the acquired power will be condensed to the extreme, and it can seize the innate power and become an innate god. As long as the innate gods do not show their true bodies between heaven and earth, and flow between heaven and earth in the form of laws, they can avoid the invasion of the five decay insects." Cui Yu suddenly realized when he saw this. It was not that the gods were not afraid of the invasion of the five decay insects, but that the innate gods controlled the power of a certain law between heaven and earth, and could turn themselves into "power" and merge with the laws of heaven and earth. In this way, people are laws, and laws are people, and of course they will not be invaded by the five decay insects. The five decay insects will invade all things, but they will not invade heaven and earth itself.

"So this is the truth!" Cui Yu looked at the notebook in his hand, his eyes full of shock: "So, pure Qigong practitioners are gone! When a cultivator reaches the realm of Yuanshen, he can only gather incense and embark on the path of godhood."

“The so-called heaven is nothing more than someone being granted a title with the help of the sun, moon and stars, and becoming the law of the stars. It is said that there is a gate between heaven and earth, which is the passage between heaven and earth. It is said that there is also a mysterious creation in heaven. Therefore, after the qigong practitioners reach the end of the road to becoming gods, they all want to enter heaven, obtain the status of gods and make achievements in the starry sky.” Cui Yu looked at the notes in his hand with a thoughtful look. What was recorded in the notes might not be accurate, but it could be used as a reference.

"When the heaven collapsed in the ancient times, the primeval earth was shattered into countless pieces, and all was shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog, causing the major primeval fragments to lose connection. Only the legendary Tianwei Gate can communicate with the major continents." Cui Yu muttered to himself as he raised his head and looked at the sun outside the window. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the sun in the sky seemed a little abnormal. The entire sun seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and the sky became gray.

He had previously thought that the grayness in the sky was fog, but he never expected it to be a change brought about by mystery.

"This world is very complicated. Those who have achieved great success in the way of gods and are in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth may have already reached the level of Daluo." Cui Yu fiddled with the book in his hand, and saw a line of mysterious words engraved in the bottom corner of the front of the book: "Written by Xu Fu, a Qigong practitioner from the Immortal Qin Dynasty."

"A book written by Xu Fu?" Cui Yu was stunned when he saw the name on the book. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and his eyes were full of strangeness: "I didn't expect it to be his book."

"Where did Xu Fu go? Did he stay in this world and transform into an innate god, or did he go to the big world?" Cui Yu put the books back and stood there thoughtfully.

"No wonder those Golden Immortals would rather take the road to heaven than stay in this world and live. It is not so easy to transform into the laws of heaven and earth. Moreover, the laws of heaven and earth are constantly operating. If the gods keep in harmony with the laws, their humanity will be erased and they will eventually be completely transformed into a part of the emotionless laws. At that time, the innate gods will be absorbed by the laws." Cui Yu shook his head. To become an innate god and to be in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth is a good thing, but in the process of harmony between the two sides, the will of the gods will be constantly assimilated by the laws of heaven and earth, until finally the will of the gods is completely absorbed and becomes a part of the laws of heaven and earth.

"The innate gods are also doomed to die. No wonder those guys who have achieved the great Dao would rather go far away from the chaos and fight a battle than stay in the prehistoric world and wait for death. Unless there is an innate spiritual treasure corresponding to the law to suppress it, it can avoid being assimilated by the laws of heaven and earth. But the innate spiritual treasure will be targeted by the Five Decay Insects, how can it be preserved?" Cui Yu shook his head secretly.

“Be it the path of a Qigong practitioner or the path of an innate god, they are all cut off! Unless one transforms into a Chaos Demon God, the Chaos Demon God can exist independently of the laws of the world and will not be assimilated by the world.” Cui Yu put the book back, thoughts running through his mind.
