He became increasingly excited. Sure enough, he had a predestined affinity with the immortals. This book might seem like a heavenly book to others, but he found it so easy to read.

He quickly suppressed his excitement and continued reading.

The more I looked, the more I nodded in agreement; in many places, I even felt a sense of kinship.

With his current level of cultivation, he could already read hundreds of lines at a glance, but this time he was afraid of missing any clues, so he carefully pondered each word.

As time passed, his initially excited face now showed a hint of suspicion.

Why does it feel like this book, "The True Scripture of Embracing Simplicity," is about how to govern a country?

As the emperor, he naturally understood the contents of the book very easily. Moreover, there were many methods he had never thought of before, especially some of the educational policies, which were indeed imaginative yet had a lot of room for implementation.

But I'm not here to find solutions for governing the country, I'm here to find a destiny with immortals!

He finally couldn't contain himself and quickly flipped through the book, only to find that the entire book contained no method for achieving immortality as he had imagined.

"What happened?"

Zhao Hao was shocked, but he immediately muttered to himself, "Don't panic. Maybe there's a hidden secret in this scripture, and these words on the surface are just a facade."

He's experienced and knowledgeable; this kind of operation is perfectly normal for him.

With this thought in mind, he felt much more at ease and began to investigate whether the book had any hidden compartments or anything like that.

After searching for half a day, he couldn't find any hidden compartments. He even tried the method of soaking in water and roasting with fire, not caring that it might destroy the true scripture.

However, after trying various methods, no hidden text appeared in the entire book.

"how so?"

Zhao Hao's mind went completely blank; he had never been so panicked in his life.

He was so angry he wanted to tear the scripture to shreds, but just as he raised his hand, a thought suddenly struck him. This "Baopu True Scripture," in terms of both its material and every single character, exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura. This was absolutely undeniable, proving that it was indeed written by the Immortal Lord Baopu himself. Since that was the case…

"This must be a test for me. Immortality is not an easy thing; it naturally requires some twists and turns and trials."

Thinking this way, he gradually calmed down. Since it wasn't something like hidden writing in a compartment, the secret must be hidden inside the scriptures, and it would probably need to be deciphered using some kind of pattern.

So he reopened the "Baopu Zhenjing" and began to study it, looking at the first characters connected together, the characters connected diagonally, or the characters read in a skipping manner according to a certain pattern...

At first, he felt that the words he received were chaotic and disordered, but he also vaguely felt that they were extremely profound.

He tried all sorts of decryption methods and discovered many possibilities, as if countless secrets were hidden within.

This piqued his interest, and he began to scrutinize and analyze the wording.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind struck. Because he was too focused, he was only startled when it was about to hit him, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Even so, I still couldn't completely avoid it; half of my body was numb.

"Such power..." Zhao Hao suddenly looked up.

The elderly man in the long robe opposite him was somewhat surprised: "Huh, you're surprisingly low on alert. What are you looking at?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the "Baopu Zhenjing" in his hand.

Zhao Hao's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly put the "Baopu Zhenjing" into his pocket: "If it gets out that a dignified chief priest has launched a sneak attack from behind, it will surely be laughed at by the world."
