Page 504Chapter 504: Three Pages of a Book
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek
The Imperishable Temple was a mysterious place. Nobody knew how it formed and nobody knew of its secrets.
To know that the Temple is hidden with many many secrets and unlimited amount of treasures. Legend had it that every time it activates, the Imperishable Temple would materialize a few treasures right before its doors are about to close again. This is an attempt to get every cultivator to start fighting each other.
The treasures have appeared.
The three golden pages were floating in midair. Like the Sun in the sky, they were emitting a dizzying amount of light.
Instantly, the pages stole everyone's attention.
Ling Xian was no exception.
The moment he saw the three pages, his eyes exploded with light. He recognized the three pages.
The legendary Divine Book of the Genesis!
Don't forget, Ling Xian once acquired a page from the book and thus knew this treasure inside and out. Staring at the three pages, he realized that both their appearance and temperament were exactly the same as the one he has!
"The legendary book appeared in the Imperishable Temple! And there are three pages of them!"
Ling Xian stared deadly at the three pages with a heated gaze. Even his breathing hastened.
There are two types of treasures in the cultivation society, one destructs the world, the other creates.
The treasure here and now is an irreplaceable treasure in the cultivation community. It has 3,000 pages in total, representing the 3,000 different paths a cultivator can take. The power of the treasure is beyond the comprehension of the world. Other than the heavenly ax that can destroy the world, no other treasure can compete with this one!
Sadly, after the creation of the Taoism community, the divine book fell apart into 3,000 pages and drifted all over the world.
A long time had passed since then. Countless cultivators devoted their entire lives seeking for these pages, but they never found a single one. The very best found only a few pages.
This is all because legend says whoever controls this book, controls the world. The one in possession is able to look down on all others and can split open the ground with their mind!
Really, truly, split open the ground!
Therefore, it was every cultivator's dream to collect all 3,000 pages of the book and once again reveal the prowess of the Divine Book!
This desire, from certain angles, is stronger than reaching immortality!
"Three pages, I have to get my hands on it!"
Ling Xian's gaze was determined. He planned on making his move right away and take ownership of the treasure.
Collecting even a single page is a task with extreme difficulty. Yet before him, three appeared at the same time. How could Ling Xian not feel excited?
Not just him, even if the strongest cultivator was here, he wouldn't be able to remain calm!
"Three pages, I have to get them!"
Ling Xian's starry eyes were full of resolution. He decided to move right away.
However, just as he reached over, everyone began to shriek and forced him to temporarily give up on this idea.
"Oh my god, am I seeing it right? Three pages of the Divine Book of Genesis?"
"My god, even one page is impossible to get, there are suddenly three of them?"
"Legend has it that if you complete the book, you can end the world with a mere thought!"
"That's right, the book is a real treasure!"
The Divine Book of Genesis is far too famous. Anyone with some knowledge about Taoism knows of it. Thus, when the three pages emerged, every single kind of being recognized it.
Nobody could remain composed. They looked at the three pages with greed.
Even though collecting all 3,000 pages is an unrealistic goal, the value of the individual pages is very high. Every single page records one cultivation path. This means every page can be used for enlightenment!
To any living spiritual being, this is a giant temptation!
Therefore, when the three golden pages entered their sight, all the living beings couldn't keep their cool. They breathed hastily and had very hot gazes. They were so excited they were shaking.
This was why Ling Xian didn't make his move right away.
The Divine Book of Genesis was invaluable and everyone wanted it. If he made his move first, then he will become everyone's target and be attacked first.
Even though he was very strong, if everyone attacked, he would be dead within seconds.
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't make his move right away. Instead, he stepped back and decided to let others battle it out first.
It wasn't just him who realized this. Many spiritual beings realized and they all controlled themselves from stepping out first.
Just like that, the battle ground turned into an eerie and mysterious scene. The three golden pages suspended in midair, emitting bright heavenly light and undeniable temptation.
Yet nobody dared to rush up.
At once, the grand hall turned terrifyingly silent.
Just then, an extremely arrogant statement was made.
"What a bunch of useless trash. The pages are mine!"
The rock man leaped forward. Every single step it took, its Qi dialed up. Like the descend of a real immortal, it walked threatening.
If this was before, many spiritual being would be scared to get in its way and let things happen. However, because the pages were far too tempting, everyone lost their rationality.
"Hmmph, you don't even know how weak you are."
Hissing, the rock man flung out its arm and defended against this attack. Then, its right arm sung and a terrifying wave was generated that knocked out the horn.
However, because someone started the battle, the remaining spiritual beings stepped in as well and edged towards the rock kind!
The powerfulness of this battle was earth shattering!
Of course, the rock man was not just an extraordinary Heaven's Favorite by name. Though the blood running through its vein is not as concentrated as its ancestors, it was still dominating.
Against the aggressive attacks, its body shot out a layer of fog of different colors that transformed into a shield that blocked out all the attacks!
"Haha, the three pages are mine!"
It laughed presumptuously as it hopped into midair and its hands stretched out towards the pages .
Just at the critical moment, Xue Yu Chan made her move. Snowflakes emerged all around her, each with multiple sharp edges. They howled towards the rock man.
At the same time, the nine headed spiritual lion and others attacked one after another.
The terrifying technique swept out one after another, picking up debris from all over the place and tumbled down!
After a moment of silence, all beings stopped pretending to be calm. They too, unleashed their best techniques in attempt to get their hands on the three pages!
HOMMM, HOMMMMM, HOMMMMM!
Sky splitting rumbles filled the entire grand hall!
Every individual was now fighting for himself and every individual was now the enemy of the others. They all gave their all at slaughtering each other.
Without a doubt, a messy war caused by the Divine Book of Genesis has begun!
