Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Inner city palace.

Soft light shines through the carved window lattices and into the ancient and solemn royal library.

This is an important royal place, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter without being summoned. If any minister is ordered to come here and receive this book, it would be considered an incredible reward.

Zhao Jiayin, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, stepped in.

There are tall bookshelves filled with all kinds of rare books, scrolls and leather books stacked up, filled with the unique scent of old paper and time.

She walked lightly past rows of bookshelves, her slender fingers gently stroking the spines of books, her eyes focused and sharp.

Occasionally she would stop, pull out a book, unfold it and examine it, but then she would shake her head slightly and put it back in its place. The library was silent except for the rustling sound of her turning pages.

Suddenly, a dusty black leather book in the corner caught her attention.

Zhao Jiayin's heart moved, and he raised his hand and waved it gently, brushing away the dust, revealing the ancient title of the book.

There are many types of royal secret books, which record the customs and habits of various states, or some secret stories.

She couldn't wait to open it, her eyes scanning the pages eagerly. The more she read, the more surprised she was. This book was exactly what she had been looking for.

"Although I can't get the secret book that specifically records the Immortal God Ruins, this booklet records the secrets told by some people who successfully walked out of it..."

Putting the booklet in his arms, Zhao Jiayin remained calm and found a secret corner to read it carefully.

It is difficult for others to enter here, but her brothers and sisters would come here occasionally, and Zhao Jiayin didn't want to have anything to do with them.

There is no such thing as family affection in the royal family. Since her return, she has not even seen the current emperor.

After all, Zhao Jiayin was neither the eldest nor the legitimate son, and his mother's family did not have enough power, so he could only be considered a marginal person. It was hard to say whether his father, the emperor, had cared about him since he disappeared.

Now when he returns, the most he can do is to notify me, and I can only see him when I find a chance to pay my respects in the future.

The reason I came to this library today was naturally because of the matter of Xianshenxu.

They had been together all the way and protected each other for thousands of miles. After all, the two inspectors were indebted to her. Although she couldn't repay them at the moment, it would be good for them to provide some information if they had the chance to meet again in the future.

"The last time the Immortal God Ruins began was thirty years ago. There were a total of three survivors, one of whom has become a sky patrol commander... It seems that he is the master of Patrol Envoy Miao."

"According to records, when the three returned, they were not physically abnormal and were not injured, but they seemed extremely frightened..."

"After further questioning, several people said that there were constant internal conflicts, and the reason they were able to get out safely was not because of their outstanding strength, but because of a bit of luck."

"As for the discovery of the immortal ruins... I was unable to participate."

Zhao Jiayin was not surprised to see this record. Thirty years ago, she had heard Miao Xingyu's general description on the road.

There is no difference between this and the record. After all, the other party heard it from an eyewitness.

"Go back seventy years..."

"Among the five survivors, two were crowned kings. They are truly the geniuses who emerged from the sea of ​​blood and corpses."

"Some people say that the Immortal God Ruins is a precious place for cultivation. The probability of successfully breaking through the realm is higher there, and there are also many spiritual plants and precious medicines."

"But, fighting is inevitable. Even if you try to avoid it, you will be targeted by some existence as time goes by, and the crises you encounter will increase."

"It's like... there is a supreme power that brings everyone together."

After reading some more records, Zhao Jiayin frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The danger level increases over time...

Although she had seen the strength of those two people, according to these records, survival does not depend entirely on strength.

After all, the guidance that exists in the dark has an extraordinary origin.

I turned a few more pages and found that all the explorations over the years of the Great Zhou Dynasty were recorded here.

Reading further, Zhao Jiayin was surprised by the contents recorded therein.

"This is…"

"Rumors left by the previous dynasty!"

"This book actually has some records. The previous dynasty was a long time ago, so the information is hard to find."

After a quick glance, Zhao Jiayin's pupils shrank and he quickly closed the book.

This rumor...

The matters involved seem somewhat extraordinary!

This is not historical data, just hearsay, but...

"According to what is said, our Great Zhou and the previous dynasty... were originally one? This is slightly different from what I know."

"In the past, the Great Zhou Taizu was conferred the title of Martial Saint by the previous dynasty, but he wanted to go further... so he set his sights on the dynasty's fortune and took it for himself."

In this passage, Zhao Jiayin always felt that the word originally written on the book might be "steal".

The ancestor was already in a high position, fought many battles, and then gained some luck, but he never became an immortal. The strange thing is...

As the immortals and gods of the past passed away, the previous dynasty gradually declined, until there were no more immortals and gods in the world. Only then did our ancestor, the Martial Saint, become invincible in the world.

Then they raised the banner of rebellion, fought all the way, with fire and smoke everywhere, and finally broke into the imperial city.

Unfortunately, the royal family of the previous dynasty used the ultimate means to seal the imperial city, and the tombs of the immortals and gods disappeared, as if they had gone to another level.

It is the present-day "Xianshenxu".

After that, although the Great Zhou also had the ability to confer titles on immortals and gods, such a thing has no longer existed in the world since a thousand years ago.

It's like repeating the same mistakes.

"The previous dynasty fell into decline because of this. If this is the case, then wouldn't our Great Zhou be...?"

The shock in Zhao Jiayin's eyes did not dissipate for a long time. Could it be that the road ahead of the Nine Realms in this world is cut off? If there really is a new dynasty to prove the immortality of the world again, how many people would not be tempted...

"I can't think about it. Things on this level are beyond my ability to participate."

“It seems that this Immortal God Ruins may indeed be able to unearth some secrets… or it may be related to the lifeblood of the Great Zhou!”

"If the same mistake is repeated, will this thousand-mile Kyoto... also disappear from the world one day?"

Although I don't want to think about it, these thoughts still linger in my mind for a long time and can't be dispelled.

Zhao Jiayin shook his head, picked up the book, put it back carefully, and tried hard to remember where he put it.

The royal library was filled with a vast collection of books, but this was the first time she had seen a book like this.

I'm afraid its content cannot be disclosed, otherwise...

…………

After the miasma, Jiang Yue and Chu Xiyao never encountered any dangerous places again.

Although they don't have a specific direction as they explore along the way, the guidance from somewhere should not allow them to go astray.

After getting a few more precious herbs, Jiang Yue felt that there were many benefits to staying here, and he even didn't want to leave.

Well... unfortunately, after the duration is over, everyone will return to their original place, and the time is uncertain each time.

It is possible that this Immortal Ruins will disappear again tomorrow, and by then we won’t be able to find such a treasure land anymore.

"Take a rest. I've checked and there's no danger nearby."

There is no distinction between day and night here, and Jiang Yue doesn't need much sleep, but he can see that Chu Xiyao seems to need to rest for a while.

It’s not that I’m sleepy, but I need time to practice.

The huge amount of medicinal power contained in some precious medicines will be lost quickly after being picked, just like the pistil that Chu Xiyao took out earlier.

Unless there is a specific preservation method, or a good thing like the Qiankun Bag.

Chu Xiyao also got some precious medicines, and it was obvious that refining them would be the best choice at this time.

Refine some and then look for some more. After your strength increases, you will be safer.

"Okay, you and I will take turns to rest. I will refine a small part of the medicinal power, and the rest can be absorbed slowly on the way." Chu Xiyao shook the blood spirit grass in her hand and found an open space to sit cross-legged.

"The power of the Blood Spirit Herb is extremely violent. Absorbing it in a short period of time may be harmful to the body. If it can be supplemented with Qingxin Lotus Seeds and Snake Ginseng, it can offset most of the side effects and enhance many effects."

After thinking about it, Jiang Yue began to persuade.

It’s not that he doesn’t know other ways to reduce the side effects, but he just happens to have these two spiritual plants.

Having swallowed so many precious medicines, Jiang Yue naturally understood their properties very well. He also knew by heart how to swallow them in order to maximize the benefits.

"Oh?"

"Inspector Jiang actually knows all this. It's a pity that elixirs are hard to find. It may take a while to find these two..."

Chu Xiyao looked over, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

It’s not that she is biased, it’s just that Yunzhou is located in a remote area and may not produce these spiritual medicines, and the other party actually has a lot of knowledge in this regard.

"I've dabbled in it occasionally. If you want to maximize the benefits of this blood spirit grass..."

Jiang Yue patted his Qiankun bag, took out two spiritual herbs, and said, "You can exchange them for spiritual plants of the same quality."

Although they are in the same industry, he and the other party do not have much of a relationship.

As for the donation... Jiang Yue is not prepared to do this loss-making business.

For so long, he had never neglected his practice because of beauty. Although there was a difference between men and women, he only regarded the other party as a warrior, nothing more.

"Alright."

Looking at the two auxiliary spiritual plants in front of her, Chu Xiyao also took out the storage bag from her waist and poured out all the items in it.

Weapons, elixirs, and spiritual plants obtained along the way...

"This is not an outside market. The value of items cannot be generalized. Only need comes first."

"Inspector Jiang, please take whatever you need."

Chu Xiyao knew very well that there was no shortage of spiritual plants and precious medicines in this fairyland, and she would encounter many more along the way.

However, only the Blood Spirit Grass, which can be quickly converted into Qi and blood, or the spiritual plants used for healing, have the highest value.

Some spiritual plants, although extremely valuable in the outside world, are not that useful at this time, so how could they be priced so high?

Barter, price only based on need.

"it is good."

"One blood spirit grass, three Qingxin lotus, and some ginseng whiskers will do. I can help you make medicine."

"As for value..."

Jiang Yue quickly selected a spiritual plant, which mainly provided mild nourishment and slowly improved the body's recovery ability.

"Not all of my two plants can be used as medicine. You can just take half of your spiritual medicine. They are of similar value."

Chu Xiyao naturally had no objection. She nodded and divided the spiritual plant into two, allowing Jiang Yue to choose one.

The value of this transaction is not expensive, but it can obviously lay the foundation for future cooperation. The trust brought by its symbolism is obviously higher than the value of the spiritual plant itself.

After a while.

After refining a small part of the medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Grass, Chu Xiyao stood up as promised. She had already controlled the direction of the medicinal power, and her limbs and bones would slowly absorb it.

"I am almost at the perfect state now, and I may break through in the next few days. There is no need to waste precious medicine."

"Just keep exploring."

With the basis for cooperation, Jiang Yue felt a little more at ease. Although he was confident that his strength far exceeded that of the other party, this Xianshenxu was different from other places, and sticking together for warmth was the best option.

What he said was all true. His realm had indeed reached perfection now, with only a few points left.

This step does not require a pile of resources, but rather relies on understanding and foundation.

Jiang Yue has sufficient foundation and doesn't need to worry about this at all.

As for comprehension... with the blessing of the fairy charm, it should not be bad.

After all, during this period of time, Jiang Yue even realized a hint of the "truth" without any deduction, which was unthinkable before.

"Oh?"

Chu Xiyao was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Almost complete? Inspector Jiang has already completed the nine-story jade tower?"

“If I ascend to the Heavenly Platform in this Immortal God Ruins… I’m afraid it will be difficult to obtain a title. After all, this world is unusual and different from the outside world.”

As she spoke, her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Compared with this person, her progress on the sixth floor of the Jade Tower was a little behind.

There is even a certain gap in combat power.

Seeing the other party remind him, Jiang Yue shook his head slightly.

"No."

"If I were to ascend to heaven and become a noble, I would definitely not choose this place, but building a jade tower should not be affected by heaven and earth."

The voice just fell.

Chu Xiyao's face was filled with surprise, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

She had seen Jiang Yue take action before and had a rough estimate of his strength.

Much stronger than her, and obviously not using his full strength.

In addition, he was also the inspector. In her estimation, Jiang Yue should be from a high level jade tower, and had inherited the skills of a famous teacher or was from a prominent family.

But what he just said...

Such a person is still in the fifth realm and has not yet broken through?
No wonder he didn’t have the Jade Tower vision!
"That is to say, he, with his body of the fifth realm, found the three Jade Tower Half-Demons in just a few moves?"

Chu Xiyao swallowed her saliva, only to feel the pressure increasing. This was her performance at the fifth level. If she waited until she built the Jade Tower...

That's a transformation.

The white fog is getting thicker.

But this time, there was no miasma produced, but it was obvious that something had happened and we couldn't take it lightly.

"It must be another 'guidance'. There may be other creatures nearby, but I don't know if they are friends or enemies."

Jiang Yue's eyebrows moved slightly, looking for possible enemies nearby.

Obviously, this white fog originated from this world.

Not long after, a white tiger made of mist came over. Jiang Yue observed it carefully and found that there was no evil spirit surrounding it.

With a move of her body, the short blade in Chu Xiyao's hand flashed three times in succession, cutting through the body of the misty white tiger like a torrential rain, defeating it instantly.

But soon, jackals, tigers, leopards, pigs, dogs, cows, sheep and many other creatures made of mist walked out of the white fog.

"These things should be like the miasma, preventing us from moving in this direction."

"Let's go, maybe we can gain something by changing direction."

Jiang Yue did not take action, but turned around, changed direction and continued walking.

As expected, those creatures in the mist did not take action, but just followed slowly behind him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

If you move in the "wrong" direction, you will be obstructed, and the deeper you go, the greater the impact on yourself.

Seeing this, Chu Xiyao was not prepared to waste her energy. She put the short blade back into her sleeve and followed Jiang Yue's footsteps.
