The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 1406: Heavenly Book of Ming Characters

There are four unknown places in the Haotian world, namely Zhishou Temple, the Demon Sect’s mountain gate, the Hanging Temple and the second floor of the academy.

Among them, the Demon Sect's mountain gate was established a thousand years ago by the most powerful high priest of light in the Xiling Temple in the past hundred years.

The Xiling Temple is a fanatical believer of Haotian, and the High Priest of Light is the person closest to Haotian. Back then, the High Priest went to the wilderness to preach, and as a result, another sect of cultivation was added to the world. However, that sect was identified as demonic by the temple, and from then on, the wilderness people and the demon sect became inseparable.

In fact, the great priest of light had come to the wasteland for a purpose. He had already discovered Haotian's secret, so he came to the wasteland to change everything to fight against Haotian.

He founded the Ming Sect in the wilderness, which was called the Demon Sect by the Xiling Temple.

Because the Demon Sect's way of practice is completely opposite to that of the Haotian World.

The world of Haotian focuses on cultivating the power of thoughts, and pays more attention to the manipulation of the vital energy of heaven and earth, and has a strong spirit.

The Demon Sect is different. They absorb the essence of heaven and earth into their bodies, strengthen their bodies, and obtain the most powerful bodies in the world.

The abandoned disciple of the academy who had assassinated Li Yu was a cultivator who had been possessed by a demon. He forcefully absorbed the essence of heaven and earth into his body, but was eventually blown up by Wang Gang.

Therefore, practicing the Demon Sect's skills is somewhat dangerous.

Wang Gang originally thought that coming to the academy, he would be able to witness the magic sect's skills, which would corroborate his martial arts practice in his previous life.

As a result, he searched the entire second floor but did not find any book on the magic sect's skills.

As far as Wang Gang knew, the academy did not hate the Demon Sect. Although the Demon Sect was destroyed by Ke Haoran, who was a well-known figure in the academy, it was because of personal grudges, not a dispute over the orthodoxy.

Wang Gang thought for a long time before deciding to ask Yu Lian, because Yu Lian was Lin Wu, the last leader of the Demon Sect.

Back then, Lian Sheng Sanshier of the Demon Sect killed the fiancée of Ke Haoran, a well-known scholar in the academy. As a result, Ke Haoran broke through the gate of the Demon Sect with his sword and almost destroyed this unknown place.

The leader of the Demon Sect, Lin Wu, practiced "Twenty-Three Years Cicada" and became rejuvenated. Her yin and yang were exchanged and she became an ordinary little girl.

The Master found Lin Wu, accepted her as his third disciple, changed her name to Yu Lian, and left a legacy to the Demon Sect.

In this world, no one knows the magic sect's skills better than Yu Lian, so who else can Wang Gang turn to if not her?

However, he would not practice the "Twenty-Three Years Cicada" which could transform a man into a woman, as it was too evil.

"You want to practice the magic sect's skills, aren't you afraid of becoming the world's public enemy?" Yu Lian put down the brush in his hand and said to Wang Gang:
"If a wild person practices the magic sect's skills, almost everyone will want to kill him. You have already realized the realm of knowing your destiny. Although you haven't broken through, there is no need for you to practice the magic sect's skills anymore."

Wang Gang clasped his fists and said, "Mr. San, you misunderstood. I don't want to learn the magic technique. I just want to see it. On my way to Chang'an, I met an abandoned disciple from the academy who was possessed by a demon. He was very difficult to deal with. I want to learn more about the magic technique so that I can deal with it better if I meet him again in the future."

Yu Lian looked at Wang Gang deeply, and it was obvious that she didn't believe a single word he said.

Wang Gang had no choice but to speak the truth, "Well, I want to practice the magic technique, but I have no way to do it."

"Why do you think I have it here?" Yu Lian asked again.

"Master, you are well-versed in ancient and modern times, so it is impossible that you do not have a collection of magic techniques." Wang Gang spread out his hands and said, "Among Master's disciples, I only know you."

Yu Lian said: "The academy does have a collection of magic sect techniques, but it is not available for the disciples to see. Even if you are a teacher in the academy, you cannot see it."

Wang Gang frowned and asked, "Is there no exception?"

Yu Lian shook his head and said, "There are no exceptions. Even among us, the Master's disciples, no one practices."

Wang Gang sneered in his heart, thinking that he didn't know that among the Master's twelve disciples, more than one practiced the magic sect's skills. Even Ke Haoran, who was well-known in the academy at that time, actually practiced the magic sect's skills.

Yu Lian put away his pen and ink and was ready to leave, but Wang Gang refused to give up.

"Mr. San, do you know where I can find the magic sect's skills?"

Yu Lian paused and said, "I don't know." After that, Yu Lian went straight down the second floor and returned to the back mountain of the academy.

Wang Gang sighed, knowing that Yu Lian was unwilling to pass on his skills, he couldn't force her.

After reading for a while, Wang Gang also left the academy. Just as he reached the gate of the academy, he met a scholar wearing cloth clothes, a water scoop on his waist and holding a book in his hand.

"Brother, please stay."

Wang Gang stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the book in the scholar's hand.

"Sir, why did you call me?" Wang Gang bowed.

The scholar smiled and said, "I have a few books that I want to sell to you, sir."

"Selling books." Wang Gang looked at the book in the scholar's hand again and really wanted to take a look at it.

He had already guessed the identity of the scribe.

The Master’s eldest disciple, Li Manman.

"Sir, I have just arrived in Chang'an and I am short of money. I want to exchange books for some travel expenses." The scholar Li said slowly.

"What book? The one in your hand?" Wang Gang swallowed.

Li said slowly: "This book is not for sale, but if you can afford it, I can lend it to you to take a look."

"How much?" Wang Gang asked anxiously.

"One hundred gold." Li said slowly.

"Deal." Wang Gang immediately took out the hundred gold given by Li Yu and handed it to Li Manman, fearing that he would go back on his word.

Li Manman took the money and handed the book to Wang Gang with both hands.

Wang Gang took the book solemnly but did not rush to open it and read it.

"I'll give you an hour to read, sir. That's enough."

"Enough." Wang Gang nodded, then walked to a cool place, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then opened the most magical book in the Haotian world.

There are seven volumes of mysterious heavenly books in the Haotian world. Each volume has different functions, and it is said that they all have the power to kill gods.

The seven volumes of the heavenly book are respectively titled “Sun, Set, Sand, Fall, Sky, Open, and Bright”. Six of them are in the Xiling Temple and the Zhishou Temple, while the volume with the character “Ming” has been lost outside.

The Great Priest of Light who founded the Demon Sect back then left the Xiling Temple with the Heavenly Book of Mingzi, and comprehended the Demon Sect's skills, which also caused this Heavenly Book to be lost outside.

The Ming Scroll is the most secret and important heavenly book. It reveals the most essential truth and secrets of the Haotian world, which is equivalent to a decoder. The name of the Ming Scroll comes from the word "Ming" which is similar to "Ming", and it records the relationship and mystery between the Haotian world and the underworld.

The Ming Scroll is of great inspiration to practitioners. It allows practitioners to recognize and understand the origin and foundation of the Haotian world.

It can also allow practitioners to glimpse and come into contact with the existence and power of the underworld.

At the same time, the Ming Scroll is also a challenge and test, which allows practitioners to face and question the rationality and justice of the Haotian world, and even generate thoughts of resistance and change.

The Ming scroll had originally been at the gate of the Demon Sect. Later, as Ke Haoran destroyed the Demon Sect, the book fell into the hands of Li Manman from the academy.

Now that this mysterious book is in Wang Gang's hands, he must of course read it carefully.

However, not long after Wang Gang opened the Ming scroll and started reading, his mental power began to increase rapidly, and his original state of no confusion could no longer suppress it.

"Oh no, Li Manman has tricked me!"
