A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the jade box, so bright it stung the eyes.
At the same time, a golden leaf wrapped in gold light rose from the jade box.
Just as it was about to break through the air and fly away, it was immediately engulfed by a mass of primordial yellow energy as soon as it left the jade box. Its flight suddenly came to a halt, and it was trapped in the ever-flowing primordial yellow energy, unable to move any further.
Only then did everyone see the true appearance of the gold leaf.
This gold leaf is half a foot square, and both sides are covered with tiny characters.
Hu Le took the gold foil in his hand and looked at it intently. He saw that the front of the foil contained the cultivation method of a supernatural power called the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Seven Fiends Sword Qi.
Turn it over and look at the other side; it also records the cultivation method of a Taoist art.
Moreover, this is a thunder technique called Mind Light Divine Thunder.
Although this thunder is not known for its killing or ferocity, its speed of transmission and reception is unparalleled among all thunders. It is said that wherever the mind goes, the thunder can travel throughout the universe.
However, these two supernatural abilities were only so-so for Hu Le, and he was too lazy to practice them.
He casually handed the gold foil to Chu Xuanji, the owner of the place...
Next, Hu Le flipped through some golden books and jade scrolls on the bookshelf, but found no clues about the heavenly book he needed.
However, indirectly, he also witnessed various strange supernatural powers and techniques.
I really don't know where Naruto got all these things from that day...
Little did he know that the reason why Master Tianming painstakingly collected these fragments of heavenly books, and even the golden and jade scrolls recording various supernatural powers and techniques, all stemmed from his past ambitions.
As for his so-called ambition, it was quite simple: he just wanted to establish a sect in the cultivation world and experience what it was like to be a sect leader.
However, relying solely on his mastery of the Book of Separation and Union to establish a sect would be insufficient.
Therefore, he collected these golden books and jade scrolls, regardless of whether they were damaged or not, and regarded them as the foundation of the future sect.
Unfortunately, before his wish could be fulfilled, he perished under the celestial tribulation.
If nothing unexpected happens, because of Chu Xuanji, his entire collection will end up in Taiyi Dao's possession.
Even now that Hu Le has intervened, nothing has actually changed.
It's because Hu Le has no interest in these collections.
Everything here will likely fall into the hands of the Taiyi Dao, needlessly adding to the foundation of the Taiyi Dao.
Of course, if Taiyi Dao had taken the treasures from the Immortal Abode, he would have incurred a karmic debt to Tianming Shangren.
Even though Master Tianming has passed away, according to the rules, Taiyi Dao must support his disciple Chu Xuanji in establishing her own sect after she graduates.
Although the sect that Chu Xuanji later founded could be considered a branch of the Taiyi Dao, when she told others, it was a way of giving an explanation to the deceased Master Tianming and silencing the gossips of her fellow practitioners.
After all, if they did nothing, wouldn't people think that they only took Chu Xuanji under their wing because they coveted the treasures left behind by Master Tianming?
As one of the seven great immortal sects, Taiyi Dao really shouldn't be burdened with the reputation of "profiting from the extinction of one's descendants."
Even if they did do that, they would still eventually have to find a way to make it look better on the surface...
Hu Le flipped through the pages for a while but still couldn't find what he needed. With half an incense stick's time about to pass, the golden pillar was about to fall again.
Hu Le silently began to perform divination in his mind.
Following the guidance of the divination, he arrived at the third row of bookshelves. His gaze traveled from top to bottom, finally settling on the fifth horizontal shelf, where he saw a milky-white jade box.
The divination indicated that the opportunity he was looking for seemed to be hidden inside this jade box.
As for whether it is true or not, he still needs to investigate.
"Senior! This is bad! The golden pillar is about to fall!"
At this moment, Yang Huzhan spoke up to remind him.
Hu Le turned his head and looked towards the door, only to see that the light gate had become extremely faint. With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that the golden pillar above the small room had quickly fallen down.
"Walk!"
Zhuo Yifan shouted and immediately leaped away to escape.
Yang Yulan and the others followed.
As for Hu Le, Yang Huzhan had already done more than enough by reminding him before leaving. If he was still trapped in the small room and couldn't get out in time, then he couldn't blame anyone else...
Seeing the four people pass through the light gate like lightning, Hu Le flicked the Xuanhuang Ruyi.
In an instant, a mysterious yellow aura quickly spread throughout the room, enveloping the entire small room.
He then flicked the Ruyi, and the mysterious yellow energy enveloped all the golden books, jade scrolls, and jade boxes, surging back like a tidal wave.
Just in case, he simply packed up all the golden books and jade scrolls to prevent the divination from being wrong and causing him to leave the opportunity behind in the small room.
As the primordial energy receded back into the Ruyi, Hu Le felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently, and in the darkness, the entire small room seemed to begin to fall downwards...
The once gleaming gate now appeared increasingly dim and lifeless.
He knew the small room was about to close and there was no time to delay.
So, he took a step forward, and his entire body almost transformed into a beam of light, shooting outwards.
In the blink of an eye, the portal shattered in mid-air, and Hu Le's figure disappeared from the small room.
Inside the main hall, the four people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Hu Le leap out from the ground, brushing past the golden pillar.
Just now, they watched as the golden pillar sank all the way down, and the light gate was crushed to pieces, but Hu Le still didn't come out, so they thought he couldn't get out.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Hu Le suddenly appeared in front of them.
Hu Le nodded slightly to them, then gently shook the Xuanhuang Ruyi. A stream of Xuanhuang energy instantly spread across the ground, and as it flowed, jade boxes and golden books appeared one after another.
Chu Xuanji and the others were stunned by what they saw.
They never expected that Hu Le had barely touched a single plant or tree in the previous three small rooms.
But upon arriving at this stone chamber, their attitude suddenly changed, and they actually packed up all the golden books and jade scrolls and took them out.
"Is he trying to keep all of this for himself?"
The four of them couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
In reality, being within the Taiyi Dao, they were not lacking in various supernatural powers and techniques.
After all, the foundation of one of the seven great immortal sects, with nearly a million years of history, is something that the efforts of a mere Venerable Tianming alone could not match.
Master Tianming alone could collect so many gold seals and jade books.
The Taiyi Dao has been passed down for nearly a million years without interruption. When the disciples and followers of each generation went down the mountain to practice the Dao, if they had the intention to collect these things, they might not be inferior to Master Tianming.
Those rogue cultivators or unorthodox practitioners who lack the true lineage of the Dharma might find these golden books and jade scrolls to be invaluable treasures.
However, the Taiyi Dao has several orthodox lineages, all of which can lead to the attainment of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
The Taiyi Xuanjing, as the fundamental law, is even a righteous method that directly leads to becoming a Golden Immortal.
In this way, they might not take these golden books and jade scrolls seriously.
