The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 20: The Visionary Eyes of the Source God

There was a huge stone book standing on the ground in front of them. Liu Shan and Jiang Taixu walked over. As they approached, the Emperor Jade on Liu Shan's chest began to heat up and tremble slightly. Liu Shan took out the Emperor Jade, and the Emperor Jade approached the stone book and emitted a dazzling light.

Liu Shan, holding the Emperor Jade, began to approach the stone book. A terrifying pressure emanated from the vicinity of the stone book. The closer he got, the stronger the pressure became. This pressure prevented others from getting closer.

Liu Shan resisted the pressure and walked slowly towards the stone book. Jiang Taixu had already come to the stone book. On the stone wall next to the stone book, the names of Jiang Taixu and Gu Tianshu were engraved.

Why do these two like to leave messages everywhere, Liu Shan thought to himself.

There are three big characters engraved on the stone book: Wu Shi Jing. Wu Shi Jing was created by Wu Shi Emperor. Unfortunately, this emperor's scripture can only be practiced by the innate holy body Dao fetus.

Liu Shan was about to step forward and try to open it when he suddenly felt like he was being spied on, as if something was watching him.

"What is that?" the God King shouted angrily. A divine light flew up from Jiang Taixu's body and hit a black shadow.

The black shadow screamed and turned into a flash of lightning and rushed deeper into the cave. Neither of them planned to chase after it. Liu Shan knew that the black shadow must be the evil black dog raised by the Wu Shi Emperor.

Jiang Taixu had sensed this black shadow many times in recent years. He had observed this black shadow long ago and knew that it was not an ancient creature, and it was very familiar with the array pattern in the Purple Mountain, so Jiang Taixu didn't want to care about it anymore.

"God King, should we go deeper and take a look?" Liu Shan suggested to Jiang Taixu. Liu Shan felt that there must be many good things in there that the Wu Shi Emperor prepared for his successors.

"Then I'll take you in to have a look. Be careful. There are many ancient creatures here."

Jiang Taixu took Liu Shan and walked past a field of crystal coffins. These crystal coffins were actually divine sources. Liu Shan drooled when he saw them.

You have to know that the Divine Source is priceless. If you sell a piece of Divine Source the size of a human head, someone will definitely pay hundreds of thousands of kilograms of ordinary Source Stones to buy it.

A crystal coffin here is about five or six square meters. Excluding the one in the middle, there are at least one or two square meters of divine source stone. This crystal coffin is worth millions of kilograms of source stone. The ancient creatures are really rich.

Liu Shan didn't dare to look at it anymore as he would feel heartbroken. Anyone would be tempted to see a pile of glowing gems in front of him, but unfortunately these crystal coffins were filled with ancient creatures. If the crystal coffins were moved, the sleeping ancient creatures would surely be awakened. These ancient creatures sealed by the divine source were at least at the level of Great Sage or Saint King.

Over the past few thousand years, Jiang Taixu had suffered a lot from these ancient creatures. However, he had not fully recovered yet, and he did not provoke these ancient creatures. He would wait until he recovered his cultivation.

At the end of the road, there is a huge Taoist platform. The bottom of the platform is covered with magical herbs, and above the platform there is chaotic air lingering. Every wisp of chaotic air seems to be able to crush the world.

This should be the Daotai of Emperor Wu Shi. Liu Shan guessed that this Daotai must be a treasure. The bed that Emperor Wu Shi slept on outside was made of Chaos Stone.

This platform decorated with chaotic energy is definitely not an ordinary object. However, there is no way to get close to it, and I don't know what material it is made of.

Each wisp of Chaos Energy alone is a priceless treasure. One should know that the value of a wisp of Chaos Energy is no less than that of Xuan Huang Energy. Each wisp can be forged into a magical weapon, but there are hundreds of them here. The Wu Shi Emperor is so rich that he is comparable to the Hen Ren Emperor.

These chaotic energies were probably prepared by Emperor Wu Shi for his descendants, just like the Xuan Huang Qi prepared by Emperor Hen Ren for Ye Fan.

Liu Shan was envious when he saw the chaotic energy, but he was not a congenital holy body and could not become the successor of the Great Emperor Wu Shi. He could only watch the chaotic energy from the side.

Through the chaotic air, you can see old medicinal plants growing one after another in the back. Even through the chaotic air, you can smell the refreshing medicinal fragrance. Every time you take a breath, you feel that your lifespan can be increased a little.

Jiang Taixu also looked at these old medicines with envy. If he could get these old medicines, he would be able to recover more vitality, and it would not be impossible for him to live a second life.

Unfortunately, the air above was filled with chaos and there was no way to get through.

The two of them walked around the platform again and found that there was no way to get the Medicine King, so they stopped worrying and returned the same way.

After returning to the stone hall, Liu Shan also planned to leave. Even if he had the treasure, he couldn't get it, and it was quite dangerous to stay here.

Jiang Taixu also felt that it was time to leave, and he prepared to return with Liu Shan the same way.

"God King, we don't have to go back the same way. I have a way to take us directly out of Purple Mountain."

Jiang Taixu looked at Liu Shan in confusion. He had been in Zishan for four thousand years and had never seen anyone leave Zishan directly.

Liu Shan brought Jiang Taixu to the stone book and took out the Emperor Jade. He placed the Emperor Jade in the groove on the stone book. The groove was so large that the Emperor Jade could not fill it at all.

But the moment the Emperor Jade was put in, the platform began to shake violently, and then a dazzling light emanated from the entire groove. The light grew larger and enveloped the two people, and the space around them was torn apart. The Emperor Jade flew out, and Liu Shan quickly collected it. The light took the two people away and disappeared directly.

At the moment of teleportation, Liu Shan vaguely felt that a black shadow was also teleported with the two of them. After experiencing darkness, the two of them appeared directly in the mine cave outside the Purple Mountain. Liu Shan looked around and saw no other creatures except the two of them.

Liu Shan looked at Jiang Taixu in confusion. Jiang Taixu smiled and nodded, "It also came out with us, but during the transmission process, it used the Xuanyu Platform to break through the void. I don't know where it went."

With Jiang Taixu, the two flew directly out, until they saw the desolate red land, Liu Shan actually felt that this dead land was very safe.

He turned to Jiang Taixu and congratulated him, "Congratulations, God King, you have finally escaped and returned to the sea."

Jiang Taixu looked at the dead red land, and felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. He had been trapped for four thousand years, and when he was in despair, he finally escaped.

"Thank you, little friend Liu Shan. Without you, I would really be trapped and died in the Purple Mountain like the others."

Liu Shan just smiled and didn't respond. Even if I don't save you, Ye Fan will save you in two years.

"We have already left Purple Mountain. What are your plans, God King? Are you going back to the Jiang Family?"

Jiang Taixu stared into space with a gloomy expression. "It's been four thousand years. I wonder if you are okay?"

Jiang Taixu turned to Liu Shan and said, "I have something very important to do right away. My dear Liu Shan, we will part ways now. I will thank you after I have dealt with this matter."

Liu Shan understood that Jiang Taixu wanted to find his confidante, Fairy Caiyun. After Liu Shan told Jiang Taixu that he was a disciple of Xingfeng of Taixuan Sect, the two parted ways.

Liu Shan returned to Zhangjiazhai and handed over the remains of Zhang Jiye, the ancestor of the Zhang family, which he had brought out from Zishan Mountain, to Zhang Wuye.

Master Zhang thanked him repeatedly. He had never thought that Liu Shan could come out alive and bring back the remains of his ancestors. After receiving the remains, he buried him in the oasis.

Dust returns to dust, and all living things are rushing towards death, only immortality can be achieved.

Liu Shan did not leave Zhangjiazhai. He planned to practice the source technique recorded in the source book in Zhangjiazhai. Before, when he got the source book in Zishan, he just glanced at it.

Now that it’s out, I can finally study with peace of mind.

"Look up and observe the phenomena in the sky, look down and observe the laws on the earth, observe the characters of birds and beasts, and observe the harmony with the earth..."

"Inner Qi emerges, external Qi takes shape, and internal and external Qi multiply..."

"Qi will disperse when it rides on the wind, and it will stop when it is bounded by water. The ancients gathered it so that it does not disperse, and when it moves, it stops..."

The contents of the Origin Heavenly Book focus on the observation of the terrain, the structure of the landforms, the changes in the sky, and involve the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, as well as the method of human-heaven interaction. It is mysterious and difficult to understand. Liu Shan could only barely understand it.

After studying for half a month, Liu Shan only roughly recorded the internal records of the Source Book of Heaven. If he wanted to truly understand it, he could only rely on time and concrete practice.

Taking out the stone gall he had opened earlier, Liu Shan prepared to practice the Yuantian Divine Eye first. After practicing the Yuantian Divine Eye, he would go to the stone workshop to practice the Yuantian technique.

Looking at the purple-gold stone gall in his hand, although it has not yet fully matured and has not transformed into gold, it is enough for Liu Shan and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

He carefully cut open the stone gall, and without hesitation, dripped the juice in the stone gall into his eyes.

A cool feeling entered his eyes, which was very comfortable. Liu Shan felt refreshed and clear-headed. He quickly practiced the method recorded in the Yuantian Book and practiced the Yuantian Divine Eye.

As soon as the spell was put into action, a sharp pain came from his eyes. Liu Shan felt as if his eyes were burned by fire and pierced by needles, and tears kept coming out of his eyes due to the pain.

Liu Shan could only endure the severe pain and continue to practice the Origin God's Eye.

An hour later, the pain in his eyes disappeared, and the training was completed. Liu Shan opened his eyes, and as his eyes opened, a purple-gold light shone.

The world before my eyes has changed. Everything is so clear. Looking into the distance, I can seem to see the veins of heaven and earth. Looking toward the mountains, I can actually see the direction of the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers.

Liu Shan was very satisfied with this pair of magical eyes. Not only could they see through things, but they could also see through the essence of things. They were almost as good as Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.
