The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 114 The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs!
According to legend, the first ray of light between heaven and earth was born in the darkest place.

The shallow icy water was bone-chilling, the damp and cold air made people feel chilly, and the floating ghosts made passers-by think that they had also turned into dead souls.

This place really looks like the legendary underworld.

Chu Hong formed a spell with his hands, and with the help of Mo Xue's sword, a faint blue electric light formed into a shield, with flames wrapped around the shield, which prevented the "yin spirits" that are a specialty of the Undead Abyss from approaching and spying.

Using lightning as a shield is a lower-level usage of the divine sword's art of controlling lightning. Compared to the real lightning control, it is less difficult and does not consume much true Qi. Even if combined with fire spells, it does not consume too much true Qi.

The Bleeding Cave was on land, so he walked quickly towards the shallower water.

Shrinking the earth into an inch is naturally a very good method, but it consumes a lot of true energy. In this boundless place with evil spirits, no one knows how long it will take, and Chu Hong does not dare to consume too much true energy.

I didn't know how long I walked, but the boundless water seemed to be of similar depth, as if it had no boundaries.

After a long time, they still didn't reach the land. In this Undead Abyss, every place was surprisingly similar, and there was not even a sign of any life.

Some are merely flying and wandering ghosts that are reluctant to leave.

Even Chu Hong felt a chill in his heart as he walked away, and his steps became slightly heavy.

Frequent footsteps, gloomy environment, and freezing cold water.

After a long period of time, Chu Hong's true energy was less than half.

He made up his mind that when he had about a quarter of his true energy left, if he still couldn't find land, he would retreat.

Maybe it was good luck, or maybe it was enough effort and enough time that brought about a good harvest.

Chu Hong, however, found land.

The land is hard to find, and the Bleeding Cave is even harder to find.

Even if Chu Hong found land, he could only look for the Bleeding Cave slowly.

The ruthless sea and the old tree on the cliff.

The rest... well, the original book doesn't say.

This is the information Chu Hong knows, which is quite little.

But these two alone are enough.

The Merciless Sea is the deepest of the five seas in the Undead Abyss. It is quite obvious that there are no evil spirits in that place.

The old trees on the cliffs are a glimmer of hope.

The plants in the Dead Abyss are so rare that even if Chu Hong checked them one by one, he would be able to find the Bleeding Cave.

Chu Hong walked around the Dead Abyss like this. When he came across an old tree on a cliff, a stream of sword energy came out, and then another stream of sword energy came towards the ground.

In this way, Chu Hong didn’t know how long he had been searching.

Even with Chu Hong's patience, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient and annoyed.

Finally, "BOOM!"

A sword energy swept past, and the ground collapsed. The exhausted Chu Hong was overjoyed and immediately jumped into the cave.

The most difficult part in obtaining the first volume of the Heavenly Book is finding the Bleeding Cave, but the rest is not that difficult.

Chu Hong was greatly encouraged, and walked to the only pool of water in the cave. Taking a closer look, he saw that the ripples of the dripping water were slightly red, and there were seven red stones, vaguely forming the shape of a palm.

He found the right position and pressed it down. The water rippled and there were five pointed tips on the tentacles, which vaguely resembled five fingers.

"Kaka!"

The entrance to the cave burst open.

After the door opened, Chu Hong walked calmly towards the collapsed area and cast an earth-based spell, and the entrance of the hole was visibly repaired.

After all this was done, Chu Hong walked into the cave entrance, closed the door, and walked along the deep tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel, there was a bright light and two stone statues. One had kind eyes and looked like the Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the other was ferocious and had a black face and ghost horns. These were naturally the evil gods worshipped by the demons, the Holy Mother of the Underworld and the Heavenly Evil King.

Chu Hong didn't pay attention to this place. He strode forward and came to a cave with upside-down stalactites and strange rocks. The stalactites in the cave were all kinds of strange and colorful. At the entrance of the cave stood a huge monument with ten big characters engraved on it: "Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs!"

Each of these ten large characters is almost half the size of a person. The brushwork is ancient and crude, the strokes are vigorous, and they are as straight as dragons and snakes, as if they are rushing forward and roaring towards the sky.

Chu Hong took a look and nodded slightly. It was indeed a bold move.

Chu Hong walked forward again and saw a stone wall with an article engraved on it.

This article, which was written in stone and full of vigor and momentum, had two large characters clearly engraved on it:

Book from heaven!

Chu Hong looked at the characters throughout the text, gradually getting into the mood and becoming intoxicated.

The first volume of the Heavenly Book:

Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
The creation of heaven and earth is called the time of chaos, when it is ignorant and undifferentiated. The sun and the moon contain their brilliance, and the heaven and earth are confused. The outline changes, and the clear and turbid become old.

The reason why the heaven and earth can last long is that they do not produce themselves, so they can last long. However, all things in the heaven and earth have their own appearances. Living beings are obsessed with the appearance of self, others, living beings, and life. Because of the appearance of many things, the three poisons, three fears, and three terrors arise in the heart, and they cannot last long.
The first volume of "The Heavenly Book" actually does not contain any practical methods of cultivation. The difficult and profound texts throughout the volume are the general outline of the Heavenly Book.

Even though Chu Hong had read a lot of books in the Dazhu Peak collection, he still had to translate some words one by one, or even word by word, and understand them slowly.

This special heavenly book and the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao that Chu Hong practiced had the same goal and vaguely merged into one. The Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao true Qi in Chu Hong's body actually ran autonomously in some mysterious way, with a layer of faint golden and black light intertwined with each other.

Slowly, Chu Hong tried to follow the operation of this special and profound technique, but found that its cultivation speed was much faster than that of practicing Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao with great effort. What's more, the true Qi he cultivated was the true Qi of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, and the aura was exactly the same, except that there was a hint of light black light.

Once you start practicing, you will be oblivious to the day.

Chu Hong didn’t know how long he had been practicing, he only knew that he had made rapid progress in the eighth level of Yuqing, and that practicing was easy and enjoyable.

Chu Hong took a deep breath, stretched, then walked to the side and borrowed the Hehuan Sect's treasure, the Hehuan Bell.

Whether you give this thing as a gift, or melt it into immortal materials or refine other magic weapons, it is a very good choice.

Chu Hong searched the things in the cave carefully again, and even stripped off the clothes of the black-hearted old man. Unfortunately, apart from some spiritual materials that could barely be considered high-level, he did not find any amazing materials or magic weapons.

At least, there is not a single material suitable for refining a magic weapon of the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon level.

Chu Hong didn't need to guess too much. Eight hundred years ago, the black-hearted old man was a top-notch demon. It was very likely that he could not touch the Taiqing Realm, but he definitely had the cultivation level of the late Shangqing Realm or even the peak Shangqing Realm.

This kind of person probably doesn't live in Kongsang Mountain, a small place, and naturally he doesn't have anything amazing.

What can I do? I just go home!
Chu Hong took out an axe from the treasure room that seemed insignificant but was actually quite heavy. He walked in the opposite direction for a while and came to the place where the statue of Tiansha Mingwang was enshrined by the Demon Cult.

In the legend of the Demon Sect, Tiansha Mingwang is a fierce god who created the world and is in charge of punishment. He holds a divine axe that creates the world. However, the one in the Bleeding Cave has an empty right hand.

Chu Hong stepped forward and placed the giant axe into Tiansha Mingwang's right hand, then moved the axe, and Tiansha Mingwang's right hand also moved.

Suddenly, a "squeaking" sound of a machine was heard in the stone chamber, and the stone wall behind the statue opened up, revealing a dark passage that led up step by step.

Chu Hong did not pause for a moment, the dark snow shone brightly, and he used his life to shrink the distance into an inch, and his figure flashed from time to time.

As soon as Chu Hong left, the stone chamber where the statue was located suddenly shook violently. Stones fell from the top of the head, completely destroying the bleeding cave.

As early as eight hundred years ago, when the Demon Cult's Blood Refining Hall was building the Bleeding Cave, it had already taken into account the possibility of its decline and being invaded by the enemy in the future.

Therefore, this passage was secretly built inside the mountain in this stone chamber.

Once the enemy attacks, they will escape through this route, and after a moment, the Bleeding Cave will collapse, secretly burying the enemy and the Blood Refining Hall.

After shrinking the distance for about ten times, a faint light appeared in front of Chu Hong.

Chu Hong was overjoyed, and immediately shrunk the distance into inches, and successfully walked out.

Not long after he took his first step, a loud "boom" sound came as expected.

From then on, no one would know the secret of this bloody cave.
