Chapter 2148: Chapter 713: Treasure Gathering (2)

In just a brief moment, she was certain this was the genuine article: "What exactly does the Yang God want Xisheng to do?"

Chu Lingxi thought to himself that this former old friend sounded awfully familiar and intimate when calling him ’Xisheng’.

He shook his head inwardly, then handed over another token to Ween Suyi: "These matters are not convenient to speak of. Suyi, please read the Yang God’s own handwritten letter and you will understand everything."

Ween Suyi still did not dare be careless, even though the other party was Chu Xisheng’s ancestor of nine generations.

She did not touch it with her hand, but simply lifted a finger; Divine Power swept forth, making that token unfurl ten zhang away.

When Ween Suyi saw the words on the token, her expression involuntarily shifted slightly as she fell into deep thought.

Chu Lingxi continued persuading: "In truth, if the Yang God can cause the Yin God’s Yin Yang Inversion to fail at the final step, that is also a good thing for our Human Clan. I also ask Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, for the sake of how the Yang God took care of your father and your forebears in former days, to lend him a hand—"

When Chu Lingxi spoke up to this point, his voice suddenly halted.

He saw a beam of golden light flying in from outside the palace gate, landing in Ween Suyi’s hand.

Chu Lingxi focused his gaze, and discovered that it was remarkably a golden book.

On the book’s cover were two primeval seal characters, precisely the words "Book of Precepts".

"Is this the Book of Precepts from the Two Books of Precepts?"

Chu Lingxi had long known that in former times, the book covers and some remaining pages of the Two Books of Precepts forged by Shen Hao, the Fifth Generation Heavenly Emperor, had fallen into the hands of Chu Xisheng’s two women.

Long Xi’s second son, Shen Hao, originally presided over laws in the Heavenly Court of the previous generations.

Later, he succeeded the Fourth Generation Heavenly Emperor, the East Emperor, and became the new generation Heavenly Emperor.

Thus Shen Hao’s might of law grew ever stronger, his commands ringing throughout the world.

The Two Books of Precepts he established also became one of the highest-level Divine Artifacts between Heaven and Earth.

It was said that the Book of Precepts within had a total of thirty-two pages.

And at this moment, Ween Suyi had at least twenty-three pages in her hand.

This powerful Divine Artifact, born twenty-three million years ago, had clearly already recovered nearly half of its Divine Might!

Chu Lingxi felt quite astonished. How on earth had Chu Xisheng managed this?

The remaining pages of these Two Books of Precepts were now divided among All Gods; could Chu Xisheng possibly kill them one by one to take them back?

"It is indeed the Book of Precepts!"

Ween Suyi looked at the golden book in her hand, pleasantly surprised beyond measure.

Although she did not know how Chu Xisheng had managed it.

However, regarding the upcoming sealing and freezing of Central Earth, and using the Sealing secret ceremony to refine the Yin God and Ice God Essence, Ween Suyi now felt much more confident.

As of now, the significance of this Book of Precepts to Ween Suyi had become entirely different.

The Dalv Dynasty’s flourishing Dragon Energy was precisely the fundamental root required by the Two Books of Precepts!

And the Book of Precepts, which had already recovered nearly two-thirds of its remaining pages, could allow her to condense an even more powerful Punishment Power.

※※※※

At this moment in the Mortal World, within the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, Chu Xisheng was looking at the five-foot-wide Purple Gold Treasure Basin in front of him, inlaid with gem-studded brilliance all over, feeling a wave of regret.

The time he had chosen to use the Treasure Bowl was still a bit early; the might of his Dragon Energy was still not enough.

If only he had waited a little longer, until the quality of his Dragon Energy rose another tier, then the remaining pages of the Book of Precepts he forcibly gathered back this time would not have been only twenty-three, and the remaining pages of the Law Book would not have been only fifty-seven.

Chu Xisheng’s Heaven’s Will Mirror, theoretically, could fulfill any wish.

As long as he could provide sufficient Desire Power, the Heaven’s Will Mirror could make his heart’s desires come true.

It was just that the form in which the wish was realized might differ from what he imagined.

In the past, Chu Xisheng had already seen in his Martial Arts Treasure Vault not only all kinds of weapons and Magic Artifacts, but even lower Divine Artifacts from Li Tan’s Armory, as well as a remaining page of the Law Book.

As long as Chu Xisheng exchanged with Martial Arts Points, Heavenly Origin Points, and the like, he could have traded them into his hands.

Previously, Chu Xisheng had only focused on enhancing his Bloodline Power, and paid little attention to Magic Artifacts and elixirs—things he could buy with money.

Later, when his Heavenly Origin Points and Divine Element Points became plentiful, he still never again managed to refresh and obtain any remaining pages of the Law Book, which was rather a pity.

Yet after fully taking control of the Heaven’s Will Mirror, Chu Xisheng thereafter conceived a thought.

He could completely use his own Ruyi Power to forcibly summon back the remaining pages of the Two Books of Precepts.

Chu Xisheng was very self-aware.

With his current level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to snatch the remaining pages of the Two Books of Precepts from the hands of those powerful Gods.

Thus he had to rely on the Treasure Gold Basin. Its Gathering Heaven method could exceedingly reduce the cost.

He also had to rely on his own formidable Dragon Energy to Suppress the resistance of those Eternal Gods.

The owners of these remaining pages of the Two Books of Precepts would not obediently allow these pages to be forcibly taken by him.

The process of using the Treasure Gold Basin proceeded largely as Chu Xisheng had anticipated.

Regrettably, though his Dragon Energy was flourishing at present, he was still powerless against those Ancestor Gods, and likewise could do nothing against those particularly powerful Emperors.

Therefore, what had been gathered back this time was only close to two-thirds of the total Two Books of Precepts.

Chu Xisheng thought that if he could delay using this item by half a year, he might just be able to restore the Two Books of Precepts to completeness.

But now that those Ancestor Gods were on guard, in the future they would certainly not let him have his way.

Even if Chu Xisheng later possessed power on par with Ancestor Gods, it would never again be as easy as today.

"I did not expect that His Majesty borrowed this artifact in order to reunite the Two Books of Precepts."

Shen Puzhao’s voice sounded beside Chu Xisheng, somewhat parched: "His Majesty’s forcible taking this time will likely enrage All Gods."

He thought that if Shen Jingli and Shen Chixiao knew that Chu Xisheng had borrowed the Treasure Gold Basin to do this sort of thing, then no matter what, they would never have lent it.

He reckoned those two women were now regretting until even their intestines turned green.

Shen Puzhao was also having a headache, wondering how he was supposed to face Shen Chixiao’s gaze when he returned this thing.

"How can you call it forcible taking? This is merely a return of things to their rightful owner."

Chu Xisheng could not help but laugh, then shook his head again: "This first time ought to have gathered as many as possible. A pity, a pity!"

"It is not a pity."

The elderly sorcerer speaking not far in front of Chu Xisheng was remarkably the living Divine Turtle Wanderer.

After the battle at Ji Yang’s Tomb, Chu Xisheng’s Dalv Dynasty unified North and South, its national strength incomparably flourishing, far surpassing all previous Dynasties.

Lu Luanti’s own attainments in Magic had also grown ever higher.

In accordance with her former promise, she expended immense power to revive the Divine Turtle Wanderer, and, by Chu Xisheng’s decree, conferred upon him the title of one of the National Guardians, positioned just under the State Preceptor.

This time, the deployment of the Formation for Chu Xisheng’s use of the Treasure Gold Basin in the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace was personally overseen by Lu Luanti, with the Divine Turtle Wanderer assisting her.

This person was shaking his head, utterly unconcerned: "His Majesty has already taken back two-thirds of the Two Books of Precepts; the Divine Artifact’s framework is now complete. The remaining pages can very well be self-refined; there is no need to insist on the original pages."

Chu Xisheng nodded at these words: "That makes sense."

The problem was, from where could their Human Clan possibly obtain the materials needed to refine these Two Books of Precepts?

He looked at the Divine Turtle Wanderer, and an odd thought rose in his heart.

Was this Divine Turtle actually still the true Divine Turtle Wanderer?

To his knowledge, Lu Luanti had used the Mediation Creation Skill to revive the Divine Turtle this time, taking that mechanical head of the Divine Turtle and the memories contained within that head as the core.

Just then, Lu Luanti flew in from outside the palace: "All the damaged Formations have been repaired. We can begin the next step."

Her expression was hurried, yet her mood was extremely good.

This time, she could finally repay the favor she owed those two women, and no longer feel she was in their debt.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately shrinking his Divine Contract Stele to three inches in size and placing it into the Treasure Gold Basin.

The step after gathering back the Two Books of Precepts was the Divine Contract Stele.

This time, as long as he could collect back half of the fragments, he would be able, from tens of billions of miles away, to directly borrow those Ancestor Gods’ Heavenly Rules Power.

If he could gather two-thirds, then at close range he could simultaneously borrow two types of Ancestor God Level Heavenly Rules.

—This was also the key to Chu Xisheng’s future confrontation with those Ancestor Gods.

And just as Chu Xisheng made another wish upon himself and once again activated the Treasure Gold Basin—

He heard two voices, as clear as mountain springs and as heavenly-sounding as celestial music, ring out one after another.

"Decree! From this day forth, within one million li around Wang’an City, all spread of any plague or poison is forbidden. Violators will be punished by Hai Water Divine Thunder—"

"Decree! From this day forth, within one million li around Buzhou Mountain, Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and Changliu Mountain, these Four Great Divine Mountains, the use of any Fire Element dharma gate is forbidden! Violators will be punished by Hai Water Divine Thunder—"

The two voices came from different directions, yet in that instant spread across Heaven and Earth, nearly to every corner.

At the same time, the ocean beneath the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace suddenly surged violently.

A colossal giant formed entirely of condensed water rose abruptly from the sea’s surface.

It thrust out its titanic hand, fiercely grabbing toward the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace.

Chu Xisheng’s pupils tightened.

—The Water Giant outside was precisely the Water God Tiangong!
