"What conditions are required if I want to read the Book of the World?"
Lu Henge asked a very bold question.
even.
This question was bolder than asking Nuwa about her birth and origins.
Logically speaking...
Lu Henge's open and unreserved inquiry into Nuwa's origins was already a grave offense.
after all.
In the eyes of the world, Nuwa is the creator goddess, and no one is allowed to desecrate her.
But when it comes to the Book of the World, Nuwa's birth becomes less important.
Upon hearing this...
Surprisingly, the guardian spirit didn't mock Lu Henge. Instead, it carefully looked Lu Henge up and down and said, "If you want to read the Book of the World, the method is very simple."
Lu Henge's eyes lit up.
Unexpected.
That's quite possible.
Even Meng Po and Di Xin got excited.
Although they didn't know much about the Book of the World, they could roughly guess from Lu Henge's conversation with the guardian spirit that the Book of the World was no less important than the Book of Creation Prophecy, and might even be more precious.
If we could obtain the Book of the World, perhaps we wouldn't need to search for the Book of Creation Prophecy.
The guardian spirit asked with interest, "That descendant of Nuwa you know has the World Tree, right?"
Lu Henge nodded.
"Then if you become Daoist partners with her, you'll be able to read the Book of the World, right? If you succeed, you'll not only be able to read the Book of the World, but you'll also obtain Nuwa's bloodline. How wonderful!" The guardian spirit spoke earnestly, but the mockery in its expression was obvious.
Lu Henge's joyful expression vanished instantly.
There is absolutely no possibility of this happening.
It's not that Nuwa's descendants wouldn't seek a Daoist partner; on the contrary, due to their serpentine bloodline, Nuwa's descendants have always maintained a positive attitude towards finding one.
They yearn to find powerful Daoist partners who can not only satisfy their serpentine desires but also bear offspring with strong bloodlines—a win-win situation.
But the problem is...
Nuwa's descendants will not choose Lu Henge.
The criteria for Nuwa's descendants to choose a Daoist partner are actually very simple. She will not deliberately emphasize the nobility of your bloodline, nor care about your birth or background.
They will only ask you one question.
Are you the progenitor?
That's right.
It's just that simple sentence.
They don't value vague concepts like potential, and they don't believe in unbelievable claims like "Give me enough time, and I will definitely become the progenitor in the future."
What they want is the progenitor!
and!
It must be now, at this very moment, you are the progenitor!
If they don't possess the strength of an ancestor, then they are not within the scope of their choice of a Daoist partner.
certainly.
There have been instances in history where an insignificant person fell in love with a descendant of Nuwa and became her Daoist partner.
However, this requires a very important prerequisite: you must have known this descendant of Nuwa since childhood and played a very important role in her childhood.
In this way...
Only then is it possible to become a Daoist couple with a descendant of Nuwa.
This situation simply does not apply to Lu Henge.
first.
Xiaoman may look like a little girl, but she is actually many times older than Lu Henge. She is old enough to be Lu Henge's great-great-grandmother. In other words, Lu Henge did not exist at all when Xiaoman was a child.
so.
The opportunity to take shortcuts is gone.
Secondly.
Lu Henge is no longer the progenitor.
Lu Henge is not only not an ancestor, but he is not even a half-step ancestor now. Although Lu Henge's strength is enough to kill ordinary half-step ancestors, his realm is indeed not high enough and he cannot meet other people's standards.
One more thing.
Lu Henge had no feelings for Xiaoman.
Although Xiaoman is much older than Lu Henge, Lu Henge looks more like Xiaoman's father. Lu Henge is indifferent to women with loli-like appearances and figures, and has no interest in them whatsoever.
"What other method is there?"
"That's all."
The guardian spirit spread its hands.
Lu Henge frowned deeply.
impossible.
There are definitely other ways.
Either the guardian spirit doesn't know, or it doesn't want to tell.
However, Lu Henge was also very clear that he could not force his guardian spirit to answer. His conversation with his guardian spirit was entirely based on the insignificant friendship between Lu Henge and Xiaoman.
What do you need me to do for you?
Lu Henge asked.
The guardian spirit was somewhat surprised: "You don't have any other questions?"
Lu Henge nodded: "No, that's all."
The guardian spirit looked at Lu Henge as if he were looking at some rare and exotic creature; at this moment, it felt much more curious about Lu Henge.
This is the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.
Although it wasn't as famous as the Graveyard of Ferocious Beasts in ancient times, it was still the birthplace of Nuwa. Ordinary people couldn't find it, and if they could, they would definitely want to look for anything left behind by Nuwa.
For example, magical weapons, cultivation techniques, and so on.
At worst.
What if there are a few rare and precious plants among them?
These things are genuinely beneficial to cultivation, and because they are related to Nuwa and involve the secrets of the progenitor, they make people even more envious and fanatical.
But Lu Henge didn't ask any of these questions.
Lu Henge only asked a few questions about Nuwa's birth and then some information about the Book of the World before ending his questioning.
Now.
On the contrary, the guardian spirit couldn't hold back any longer.
"Don't you want to know if there are any magical treasures, cultivation techniques, or rare and precious materials left behind by Nuwa here?"
"There's no need to ask, it's definitely not here."
Lu Henge was very certain.
The guardian spirit retorted, "What makes you so confident?!"
Lu Henge explained, "Nuwa was only born here, not raised here, so the probability of her leaving behind magical treasures, weapons, cultivation techniques, and mental scriptures here is extremely small. As for the idea that she was grateful and wanted to repay her birthplace when she grew up, that assumption is even more unbelievable. Nuwa didn't even want outsiders to touch the Book of Creation Prophecy, which shows her true intentions."
“A special being like Nuwa might indeed have been born with rare and precious materials. But these materials are meant for her own use. Even if Nuwa didn’t take them with her, so many eras have passed, you would probably have eaten them long ago. And even if you didn’t eat them, the environment of the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave is just too terrible. I can’t think of any rare and precious materials that could survive here.”
certainly.
Most importantly, Lu Henge, being an alchemist, did not sense the slightest trace of medicinal herbs.
The guardian spirit was rendered speechless by Lu Henge's long explanation.
In a short time.
The guardian spirit fell into deep thought.
Could it be that...
Have the minds of human cultivators in the outside world become this intelligent?
