The interface of the Wendao forum is very neat and there are no messy advertisements.
The sections on the interface are the same as those in regular forums, divided into several major categories: discussion area, help area, and essence area.
He casually clicked on the help section, and the first thing that caught Shen Yuan's eye was a question that had been pinned for three months.
“Help: How to repair a paradise on earth that is on the verge of collapse?”
Shen Yuan took a look and saw that the person asking the question was Zhong Buwen, the current director of the Imperial Observatory.
Answering this question with relevant information can provide points ranging from one thousand to one million depending on the level of resolution of the answer.
Shen Yuan specifically looked through the exchange list of the Imperial Observatory and found that a mysterious magical power could be exchanged for only 100,000 points.
If this problem can be really solved, it will be enough to buy ten mysterious magical powers.
Of course, since the Imperial Observatory can offer such a price, once the correct answer is obtained, there is no doubt that the Imperial Observatory will gain benefits far exceeding the points.
Shen Yuan clicked on this question with some curiosity and took a quick look. There were very few people who answered this question in the forum. Most of them were accounts with the names of sects mocking the Imperial Observatory.
Junjian Mountain Guanchao Sword Master: It seems that the Imperial Observatory is not having a good time! Even the blessed land of Dongtian is about to collapse. Are the geniuses of the Imperial Observatory interested in coming to my Junjian Mountain?
Master Tianshu of the Astronomical Observatory said: They can’t even manage a paradise. Is this the level of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?
A lot of similar trash talk almost occupied the entire comment section, constantly belittling the Imperial Observatory.
The practitioners of the Imperial Observatory were not to be outdone, and they piled up the request for help tens of thousands of times.
Even now, Shen Yuan can still see the comments section constantly being refreshed with replies.
"Sure enough, wherever there are people, there will be disputes."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but complain quietly, and then continued to browse other content on the forum.
Apart from similar comment sections full of insults to each other, the style of most other comment sections was relatively normal, and Shen Yuan could see quite a few questions related to cultivation.
No matter whether it is a sect or the Imperial Observatory, they will give an answer as soon as possible, and not forget to mock their old opponents. Everyone seems to be accustomed to this.
In addition to the level of cultivation, Shen Yuan could also see some requests for help regarding historical legends and certain treasures and magical powers.
When Shen Yuan saw the question about historical legends, he was suddenly alert. He did not forget that his current strength was mostly due to the completion of three hidden achievements.
If we can get some information from thousands of years ago by asking questions in the forum, it will be of great value to the Abyss.
His eyes kept searching, and Shen Yuan was quite interested at first.
But after reading through most of the help-seeking areas, Shen Yuan realized that the historical legends involved in the help-seeking areas only covered the last spiritual tidal era more than three thousand years ago, and he immediately lost most of his interest.
Even the ghost market from more than 3,000 years ago cannot provide hidden achievements, let alone other things.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is true. After all, ten thousand years ago is too far away from the present. The older generation of practitioners who survived in the cultivation world now basically came from the last spiritual tide era.
In more distant times, there is not only the impact of a long period of spiritual energy depletion, but also the threat of the end of one's lifespan.
Any old monster that could live from ten thousand years ago to the present day must be a giant in a region. Even the spiritual energy of ordinary paradises is difficult to supply them. They can only lie in coffins in suspended animation and hibernate. It is impossible for them to have time to participate in the little games of these younger generations.
Shen Yuan, feeling slightly disappointed, looked at the requests for help from Baowu Shentong, most of which were from people using the name of a sect.
"Help: The Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, the most precious treasure of Laojun Mountain, has been lost for thousands of years. If anyone has the relevant information, please go to Laojun Mountain in Yunzhou and report it. If the information is true, the Supreme Master can personally accept him as a disciple and grant him a cave heaven quota."
"Help: The Yin-Yang Hehuan Dao's Cha Nu Dafa has been lost. If anyone with a predestined relationship finds out, they can go to the Qun Yu Mountain in Yangzhou. The Hehuan Dao will definitely reward them generously!"
There are many similar requests for help, some are seeking help for lost treasures of a religion, some are seeking help for lost sect methods, and some are simply seeking a suitable method for themselves.
In these information, Shen Yuan often saw the word "Dongtian quota".
After reading the comments carefully, Shen Yuan realized that the meaning of this cave heaven quota is that once the spiritual energy tide ends and the spiritual energy depletion period comes, one can use the quota to enter the sect's cave heaven to avoid disaster.
For the entire cultivation world, the preciousness of the cave heaven quota is unquestionable.
Many times when the spiritual energy is depleted, due to the lack of spiritual energy inside the blessed land, even the core disciples of the sect may not be able to enter the blessed land.
Especially after experiencing several periods of spiritual energy depletion when a large number of blessed lands collapsed and no new caves were born, the cave places became even more precious.
After browsing the Dao forum, Shen Yuan's horizons were completely broadened and he had a general understanding of the various aspects of the cultivation world.
For Shen Yuan, entering the Wendao Forum is definitely a great opportunity.
"The next step should be to answer some questions and then accumulate points to exchange for the classics of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation?"
While Shen Yuan was checking the categories of the Wen Dao forum, he was thinking about how to accumulate points as quickly as possible in exchange for cultivation books.
Shen Yuan is definitely not good at simply answering questions about spiritual practice. He has even encountered many of the questions in the help section before, and still needs the help of replies in the comment section to answer his doubts.
Shen Yuan kept flipping through the forum sections, thinking about how to solve the problem.
However, as Shen Yuan clicked on the highlight area, his gaze suddenly froze.
He saw that in the essence category he clicked on, there was a large area filled with download links for various cultivation classics.
The "Taiqing Daodejing" and "Liangyi Weichen Jue" of Laojun Mountain.
"All Rivers Return to the Sea" and "Bolong's Whale Hunting Method" from Tingchao Pavilion.
The Yin-Yang Hehuan Dao's "Great Compassion of the Interaction of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth" and "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: The Chapter of Controlling Women" are not only the secret books of the major sects, but also a large number of classics on the cultivation of immortal arts such as "Basic Refining", "Chen's Alchemy", "Ouye Sword Casting", and "Mo Sect Puppet General Outline".
At first glance, it seems as if all the knowledge of the entire cultivation world is contained in this forum.
"Is this all true?"
Shen Yuan's eyes were full of disbelief.
He looked at the "Taiqing Tao Te Ching" on Laojun Mountain and clicked on it. It clearly showed that the person who uploaded it was Xuanxu Zhenren from Laojun Mountain.
A download interface immediately popped up on the computer. Without even having to pay any points, the entire volume of "Taiqing Tao Te Ching" was downloaded at the speed of light.
After clicking on the completed download task, Shen Yuan then saw the contents of the Taiqing Daodejing.
"The Valley Spirit is immortal, this is called the Mysterious Female"
After a quick glance, Shen Yuan finally understood what was going on.
These classics that were proactively released by the sect were undoubtedly the sect's true secret books, without any deletions or modifications to the original text.
Even if it were placed in the heyday of cultivation ten thousand years ago, it would definitely be the top cultivation book, enough to make countless practitioners fight for it.
However, as the secret texts of the religion, these scriptures cannot be practiced simply by reading the original text.
Some secret books need to be combined with visualization methods in order to glimpse the deity in the spiritual world, thus entering the door to practicing the methods of the Zhenjiao.
Some secret books have corresponding body-building exercises. If you force yourself to practice without having practiced these exercises, at best your meridians will be damaged, and at worst your foundation will be destroyed and your cultivation will be lost.
There are also secret books that require a specially cultivated furnace to get started, otherwise you will never make any progress in your life.
The secret scriptures thrown out by these major sects are actually a big carrot dangling in front of the eyes of many geniuses in the Q&A Forum.
Those who can enter the Daode Forum are basically the most outstanding geniuses in Daxia, and are the figures that various forces are vying for.
After these geniuses came into contact with the secret books of their religion, if they wanted to practice a certain book, they had to join the corresponding sect.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the sect, and all they have to pay is these sect scriptures that cannot be used for real practice.
Even if there really is a genius who can complete the practice of the secret book of the sect without any assistance, the magical powers and spells combined with the subsequent books will bind that genius firmly to the sect.
If it were in the thriving and flourishing world of cultivation ten thousand years ago, it would undoubtedly be foolish to proactively expose one's own secret book, as it would cause one to lose its most core competitiveness.
But after ten thousand years, if you still maintain an attitude of cherishing what you have, you will definitely be eliminated by the entire era.
In fact, the Imperial Observatory was well aware that this was a conspiracy by the major sects, but since the other party was willing to take out even the secret book of the sect, they could only accept it with a pinch of their nose.
In order to check and balance the major sects, the Imperial Observatory had to respond.
The Imperial Observatory has a shallow foundation and cannot be compared with the major sects in terms of cultivation, but it has the most vast territory.
During the three thousand years, the Imperial Observatory collected countless classics from the people, especially those on the art of cultivating immortals that were passed down by small families or practitioners.
These books on the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals are not particularly precious, but they are fundamental and large in quantity, and can meet the needs of any type of practitioner.
Of course, the Imperial Observatory also had its secrets. The core part of any classic book could only be obtained after joining the Imperial Observatory.
So the tens of thousands of classic books in this boutique area may seem shocking, but in fact their real value is not that great, and even Xue Mingzhi did not mention it deliberately.
“These may not be worth much to others, but to me they are absolutely priceless treasures!”
Shen Yuan was overjoyed.
He completed the task of cultivating the hundred arts of immortality, and learning a method of refining medicine or weapons was actually the simplest part.
For Shen Yuan, the real difficulty lies in the fact that he must practice in the Sutra Library.
To meet the standards of a Sutra Repository, it would need to store at least tens of thousands of cultivation books. Under normal circumstances, Shen Yuan would have no way of obtaining so many cultivation books.
However, on this forum, there are cultivation books that are missing core key parts everywhere, and Shen Yuan can download them with just a few clicks.
"The secret book of the town sect cannot be practiced?"
Shen Yuan had no intention of practicing those secret scriptures of the sect, he just threw them in to make up the numbers.
"The content of the cultivation manual is missing?"
It is normal for the magnificent Luoyun Sect's Sutra Library to have "billions of fragments" of classics.
"The classics of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation lack core content, and the upper limit is not high?"
All Shen Yuan wanted was to complete the main task and get started in his practice of the Hundred Arts. He never thought about truly delving into the so-called methods of refining equipment and alchemy.
Therefore, in Shen Yuan's view, the shortcomings of these cultivation books are not shortcomings at all!
With almost no hesitation, Shen Yuan directly downloaded all the cultivation books on the entire Wendao forum with one click.
As the download completion prompt sounds rang out from the computer, a message suddenly popped up in front of Shen Yuan.
System: The host has obtained a thousand volumes of cultivation scriptures, and the sect’s scripture library is missing. Should we build a sect’s scripture library?
