Looking at the familiar environment in front of him, Shen Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and the entire secret courtyard was shrouded in his perception in an instant.
The salted fish Longzi in the spirit pond was still blowing bubbles out of boredom. Bai Xue buried her head in the cabinet in the room and carefully ate snacks. In the kitchen, Gong Buyu, wearing an apron, was preparing today's dinner.
Familiar things fell into Shen Yuan's perception again. Every space and every trace in the secret realm of the courtyard could not escape his control. This was the authority possessed by the Lord of the Secret Realm.
Only then did Shen Yuan finally confirm that he had escaped from the changes of ten thousand years.
“Finally I’m back!”
Shen Yuan, who was in the study on the second floor, couldn't help but sigh softly.
Although he had already guessed the rewards for the side quests, Shen Yuan was still a little nervous before actually returning after crossing thousands of years.
Fortunately, I achieved A-level mission completion and there were no accidents during the process, allowing me to return safely.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan took out the Tianyuan secret order from his storage ring that helped him cross ten thousand years of time.
In Shen Yuan's sight, the Tianyuan Secret Order returned to the changes it had before it traveled through time for thousands of years.
The secret order caused the Tianzhu Mountain, which appeared intact on the surface, to collapse again. The mountain collapsed, the sky fell apart, and the earth cracked. Everything seemed like the end of the world was coming. The scene made Shen Yuan feel a suffocating sense of oppression.
However, comparing Shen Yuan's memory of the first time he came into contact with the Tianyuan Secret Order, after returning from ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan vaguely noticed that the drawing on the Tianyuan Secret Order had undergone some changes.
On top of the mountain that was collapsing like a pillar of heaven, there seemed to be a huge and boundless hand, which turned the world upside down wherever it landed.
Looking at the incomplete palm print drawing, Shen Yuan felt a vague sense of familiarity in his heart.
"The trajectory of this palm print seems to be quite similar to the magical power that Yu Changming used in his final desperate struggle. Could there be some connection between the two?"
Shen Yuan looked dazed for a moment.
After thinking about it and still having no clue, Shen Yuan turned his attention to the side quest he had just completed.
Side quest: Climb to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and leave your own legend in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Mission completion progress: A-level
Rewards: Time and Space Return, Tianyuan Secret Order II
Shen Yuan looked at the rewards displayed on the system interface and couldn't help but frowning slightly.
The first reward was easy to explain, as it was the reason why he returned from ten thousand years of time and space. However, the second reward, Tianyuan Secret Order II, was quite intriguing.
Shen Yuan searched the storage ring but did not find any other Tianyuan Secret Orders. This meant that the Tianyuan Secret Order that Shen Yuan had just taken out and had changed was Tianyuan Secret Order 2.
"If the Tianyuan Secret Order in my hand is number two, then where did the Tianyuan Secret Order that took me back ten thousand years ago go? Did it have been consumed when I traveled through ten thousand years of time and came back?
If I don't reach the A-level mission completion rate, does that mean the reward will only be a time-space return, without this Tianyuan Secret Order II?"
All kinds of doubts lingered in Shen Yuan's mind, making him more curious about the origin of the Tianyuan Secret Order.
But no matter what, having a Tianyuan secret order in hand also represents the opportunity to return to the time before ten thousand years. Although there are risks involved, the opportunities it implies are also unimaginable.
“The only pity is that reaching the top of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and killing Lianxu Zhenjun did not trigger the hidden achievements of the artificial intelligence system.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. Climbing to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower but not becoming the host of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower cannot be regarded as a true historical achievement, and having no gains is still within the scope of understanding.
As for taking advantage of the situation to kill Master Lianxu, it was a breakthrough for me, but it was nothing in the heyday of cultivation thousands of years ago.
Whether it is defeating the Lord of the Candle Dragon Sword, or overwhelming the Yunmeng Dragon Palace, or becoming the Lord of the Luoyun Sect, the cards are far beyond a mere Lianxu Zhenjun, and they do not meet the standard for triggering hidden achievements. "
Shen Yuan pondered secretly in his heart and did not worry too much about triggering the hidden achievement.
Because what I gained from this trip cannot be compared with just one or two hidden achievements.
After calming his mind a little, Shen Yuan began to prepare to explore the gains brought by this trip.
The space of the courtyard in front of him suddenly expanded, and the space in the small room began to extend to the outside world. Then Shen Yuan waved his right sleeve lightly, and a huge wild boar appeared in the center of the room from the space in his sleeve.
The wild boar was huge in size, and there was a strong smell of blood on it. If Shen Yuan had not opened up the space in the room in advance, this behemoth would have been enough to blow up the entire building.
This was Shen Yuan’s first gain on this trip, the wild boar that he killed in the Zhenlong small world.
At that time, Shen Yuan casually put it into the space in his sleeve. Now, after his physical body returned after ten thousand years, he also brought this wild beast back.
Ten thousand years ago, although the wild boar was quite rare, it was not considered a treasure.
However, after tens of thousands of years, the spiritual energy of the wild beasts was exhausted and they were almost extinct. The value of such a huge wild boar was incomparable to that of ordinary monsters.
Its flesh and blood can be of great help to practitioners whether it is used to refine pills or made into medicinal food.
Looking at the huge wild boar, Shen Yuan was about to cut it apart, but suddenly, the wild boar, which was still emitting boiling blood, began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The powerful body seemed to have gone through ten thousand years in an instant. The boiling blood cooled down and dried up in an instant. The powerful body experienced the weathering and erosion of time.
In the end, this huge monster was almost completely decayed, leaving only pale bones.
Reaching out to touch the remaining bones of the wild boar, Shen Yuan could feel that the spiritual essence on the bones had long dissipated. They had lost their value for refining weapons and medicine, and were no longer of any use except to make them a little harder.
Holding the white bones in his hand, Shen Yuan's expression changed constantly, but finally turned into a sigh.
"It seems that the opportunistic method will not work after all. Apart from my body, other things carried by space should also experience changes over time.
Even a wild boar that is comparable to the God Transformation Realm cannot resist the erosion of ten thousand years, let alone those precious and fragile spiritual creatures. "
"Although I wasted the flesh and blood of a wild boar, I have figured out some patterns."
With a flick of his sleeves, the secret space in the courtyard swallowed up all the remaining bones of the wild boar and exiled them into the void.
After doing all this, Shen Yuan turned his attention to another thing in the storage ring.
He reached out and took out a wooden box from the storage ring. Under Shen Yuan's gaze, the wooden box quickly decayed after thousands of years of erosion. The precious jade stored in the wooden box also lost its luster like the wooden box.
But in the center of the gem, there is still a clear and spiritual energy remaining.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan showed a smile on his face.
This precious jade was what Yu Ke gave to him as an apology. It was the Qingyuan jade from the Pure and Clear Heaven.
The precious jade itself is not of great value, but inside the precious jade there is a trace of the pure and profound energy of the heaven and earth, which can help people comprehend the true method of supernatural power and practice.
Ten thousand years of time can decay a barren pig or precious jade, but it cannot wear away the pure and mysterious true energy that was born from the will of heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan stretched out his hand and crushed the already broken and decayed gem, allowing the Qingyuan Xuan Zhenqi to appear in the space.
The Qingyuan Xuanzhenqi, which lost the restraint of the Qingyuan Gem, was about to merge into the world the moment it was revealed, but Shen Yuan stretched out his right hand and gently grasped the upper heaven and earth qi. For ordinary practitioners, this wisp of Qingyuan Xuanzhenqi was too rare, and it was a pity to throw it away.
However, Shen Yuan possessed the great supernatural power of Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi. As long as there was a trace of the Qi of heaven and earth, he could use the Yuan Qi to evolve all things. The value of this trace of Qingyuan Xuanzhen Qi to Shen Yuan was unimaginable.
The Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi magical power was quietly activated, and a wisp of Qingyuan Xuanzhen Qi was slowly exhaled by Shen Yuan. After a moment, accompanied by a long breath, two wisps of Qingyuan Xuanzhen Qi were slowly exhaled from Shen Yuan's mouth.
"The upper level of heaven and earth qi is not comparable to the middle level of heaven and earth qi. If you are not familiar with it, it may take several days to evolve a piece of Qingyuan Xuanzhenqi."
Shen Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that the progress was too slow.
But he did not think that if other practitioners in the Xuanhuang Realm knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would die on the spot.
Although Qingyuan Xuan Zhen Qi is a treasure nurtured by the pure and empty sky, its output is too scarce. It takes thousands of years to condense a complete portion of Qingyuan Xuan Zhen Qi.
Throughout the ages, apart from the Taoist master, only the elders who had made great contributions or the supreme elders who had ascended to the fairyland could obtain a portion of the Qingyuan Xuanzhen Qi.
Apart from this, not even the Holy Son or Holy Daughter can get involved.
Shen Yuan was able to cultivate a Qingyuan Xuanzhen Qi in just a few days, which was already a shocking legend in the eyes of outsiders.
Shen Yuan only paid a little attention to it. Although Qingyuan Xuan Zhenqi was the Qi of the higher heaven and earth, its effect overlapped with the Saint Enlightenment Array, so it was not worth paying too much attention to.
Shen Yuan simply allowed the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi supernatural power to continue evolving the Qingyuan Xuan Qi, and shifted his attention away from the Qi of heaven and earth.
With a slight wave of his right hand, the five books in the storage ring floated in front of Shen Yuan.
In Shen Yuan's eyes, the so-called Qingyuan Jade and Huangzhu's body were just some free gifts he got at random. The five books in front of him were one of the greatest gains spanning thousands of years.
Five volumes of methods for cultivating the Earthly Demonic Powers!
In an instant, the world seemed to have changed dramatically, and the five books were all bearing the erosion of a long time.
But unlike Huangzhi and Qingyuan Baoyu, these five books were originally made of special spiritual paper and animal skins, just for the convenience of long-term preservation.
Under the erosion of time, although these five books have become somewhat dilapidated, the truly precious contents in the books have remained intact.
As the scouring of time came to an end, Shen Yuan immediately picked up the "Yi Mu Dan Fa", one of the five methods of practicing the Earthly Evil Magical Powers.
The Yimudan Method is inherited from the 58th Disha Shentong. It collects the essence of Yimu and refines it into elixir. Those who have mastered it can refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and become immortal on the spot.
Among the five methods of cultivating the magical powers of the Earthly Demons, the Yi Mu Dan Fa is not the strongest, but it is definitely the most valuable. The method of alchemy has incomparable advantages in this era of exhausted spiritual energy.
Not to mention that taking it is a magical power of the earth, which directly points to the origin of alchemy and can achieve a powerful inheritance of immortals.
However, when Shen Yuan picked up the "Yi Mu Dan Fa" and started reading it, he was greatly disappointed.
Because he could clearly sense that although the words of "Yi Mu Dan Fa" were recorded in his mind, he could not activate the Earthly Evil magical powers.
This means that the Disha magical power has an owner after ten thousand years. Unless the owner of the magical power dies, Shen Yuan will not be able to learn and consume the magical power.
Although he felt a little regretful, Shen Yuan was not too disappointed.
When purchasing the method to cultivate the Disha magical power, Shen Yuan already knew that after ten thousand years, the inheritance was still passed down in Danxiatian. If nothing unexpected happened, the magical power should have been passed down in Danxiatian.
He reached out and picked up the second volume of the practice method of the Earthly Demon Divine Power, "The Immortal Corpse Reincarnation Method". This practice method corresponds to the corpse reincarnation of the forty-sixth Earthly Demon Divine Power.
After reading it, Shen Yuan discovered that the corpse-reincarnation ability also had an owner.
"Ten thousand years ago, the master of the corpse reincarnation power was the Lord of Beimang Mountain. He had several corpse reincarnation immortals under his command. He ruled over a large area of ghosts and was the number one ghost immortal in the world.
Ten thousand years later, the corpse-reincarnation ability also has an owner, and maybe the master of Beimang Mountain has not fallen yet."
Shen Yuan himself had no hope of becoming a corpse-reincarnating immortal, so he naturally turned to the next book on cultivation methods.
"Taiping Fushu" was inherited from the 67th Earthly Fiend, Fushui. Shen Yuan had heard of Fushui's magical power a long time ago. It was said to be inherited from Maoshan, which ranked first among the 72 blessed places.
With an attitude of giving it a try, Shen Yuan picked up "Taiping Fushu" and flipped through it, but as expected, he found nothing.
Although Shen Yuan did not gain anything from reading three books in a row, he was not panicked at all, because he already knew that these three kinds of Earthly Demonic Powers were passed down in an orderly manner.
His real goal is still in the last two volumes of the practice of the Earthly Demon Magical Powers.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan reached out and picked up the "Taiyin Yuehuashu".
The "Taiyin Yuehuashu" is inherited from the 29th Earthly Fiend who has the supernatural power to take the moon. The supernatural power to take the moon points directly to the Taiyin Avenue, and can use the power of Taiyin to evolve the Taiyin moon phases and the Guanghan secret method, which has infinite uses.
Ten thousand years ago, the inheritance of the moon-taking magic power belonged to Guanghan Palace, but Guanghan Palace had long disappeared along with the Juetianditong.
As Shen Yuan flipped through "The Art of Taiyin Moonlight", a cold moon slowly rose in the secret realm of the courtyard. The cold moonlight illuminated the entire courtyard, nurturing the wonderful true meaning of Taiyin.
Shen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. He could already feel the attraction of the moon-taking power. It seemed that he could easily pick up the cold moon in the sky with just a thought.
However, Shen Yuan did not choose to control the moon-taking power immediately.
Shen Yuan has practiced three of the Earthly Demonic Powers. Comprehending these three Earthly Demonic Powers and the Heavenly Gang Method has consumed a lot of Shen Yuan's energy.
The Moon-Catching Divine Ability is not ranked high, nor does it have any special effects. If Shen Yuan does not actually improve after learning it, it may hinder his comprehension of other magical powers. It is not a good choice for Shen Yuan.
What's more, the magical power he learned did not have the manifestation of the magical power seed. From the perspective of the difficulty of comprehension alone, it would be greatly increased and was not suitable for Shen Yuan.
“If it was one of the top ten Disha magical powers or the Tiangang great magical power, I would definitely not consider these issues, but the Moon-Taking Magic Power is far from enough.”
Shen Yuan turned his eyes and moved his gaze to the last volume of "Purple Star Numbers".
This is the magical power that Shen Yuan is most looking forward to among the five methods of practicing the magical power of the Earthly Demons.
The Ziwei Star Numbers are inherited from the 47th Disha Shentong Star Numbers, and can be used to predict the future and understand destiny through celestial phenomena.
Ever since he realized that he was being plotted against, Shen Yuan had always wanted a magical power to deduce mathematics and block the secrets of heaven. The power of star numbers just met Shen Yuan's requirements.
Reaching out and picking up "Purple Star Numbers", Shen Yuan slowly turned the pages, immersed in the astrological methods described in the book.
Above the great summer sky, the sun's rays slowly faded, and bright stars appeared from the clear sky. The stars in the sky were like a huge chessboard weaving infinite destiny.
Inside the Imperial Observatory, the director looked up at the stars under the clear sky with horror on his face.
"This is the star-numbering magical power that has been lost for thousands of years in the Tianji Pavilion. Who on earth can find the lost inheritance and obtain this earthly magical power?"
