White Emperor's Discourse Collection

Chen Ganliu had carefully sliced open the Green Jade Stone last time, even meticulously processing the material.

After all, he had been poor for three lifetimes and was unwilling to waste materials for making Jade Talismans.

The material sliced from these Green Jade Stones was equivalent to piles of Talisman Coins.

This time, however, Chen Ganliu lacked patience. Falling into the hands of two Demonesses meant certain death, so he wanted to see the White Emperor's Legacy before he died.

If it wasn't there, at least it would be a clean end.

He didn't bother with the integrity of the jade material. Wielding the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade to hack away, he naturally opened the Green Jade Stones at an extremely fast pace. In just two to three sticks of incense's worth of time, only seven or eight pieces of Green Jade Stone remained before him.

Chen Ganliu sighed, thinking to himself, "So, none of these Storage Magic Treasures contain the Green Jade Stone that holds the White Emperor's Legacy."

"I fear that Green Jade Stone was not brought to the Suiyang Immortal Market by its original owner."

"It seems that opportunities are ethereal. Whoever it belongs to, it belongs to them. Even if I have lived three lives and knew about the White Emperor's Legacy in advance, I cannot seize someone else's fortune."

"It's a pity that the person who had the opportunity couldn't grasp it, spoke recklessly, leading to their death and the waste of such immense benefits."

The Mind-Wandering Zen Blade fell, striking a Green Jade Stone with a rough outer layer, even bearing traces of moss. It made a ding sound, cutting in about a third of the way before being blocked by something, preventing it from being split open.

Chen Ganliu froze completely. After a long while, he activated the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade and slowly ground at it. Before long, he had carved out a piece of "beautiful jade."

This piece of beautiful jade was long and narrow, like a jade pillow, crystal clear and white throughout, without a single flaw.

Even the most common eye could tell that this beautiful jade was not naturally formed but artificially carved, which was why it was so square and smooth.

This object was so hard that even the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade could not cut into it. When the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade struck it, it was repelled by a gentle force. Clearly, a spell protected it. Even a fool wouldn't believe it was ordinary.

Chen Ganliu patiently circled the beautiful jade with the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade, then circled again. Suddenly, the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade let out a soft ying ying sound, finding a crevice invisible to the naked eye and cutting into the beautiful jade.

The blade light shifted slightly. Where it passed, faint smoke and mist emerged, appearing and disappearing, lingering endlessly.

The Mind-Wandering Zen Blade circled this crevice seventy to eighty times before no more smoke and mist appeared, and the beautiful jade was split open completely.

Chen Ganliu reached out and gently lifted the upper half of the beautiful jade. The lower half had a groove inside, and indeed, it was a jade box.

Inside the jade box lay a scroll, bound with gold thread and sewn with fine silk, made of an unknown brocade. It was exquisite and grand.

The cover of the scroll bore the five characters "White Emperor's Discourse Collection," written in a style like dragons and snakes in motion.

Besides this scroll, there was nothing else in the jade box.

There was no legendary Flying Sword that the White Emperor had refined for sixteen hundred years, nor the two Flying Hooks that belonged to the ancient Water God, capable of controlling all rivers and lakes and capturing various Magic Treasures.

Chen Ganliu was stunned. After a long while, he let out a long breath, feeling no joy at all.

At this moment, he only felt a mix of emotions.

It wasn't that he was unhappy about not getting the Flying Sword and Flying Hooks. Even though he had found the White Emperor's Legacy, he had also fallen into the hands of the Demonesses. What was there to be happy about?

Chen Ganliu ignored why there were no other treasures in the jade box and flipped open the first page of the White Emperor's Discourse Collection, reading it carefully.

Even if there were other treasures in the box and he obtained the White Emperor's Flying Sword and Flying Hooks, he might not be able to keep them. It would be better if they weren't there, so no one could get them.

But if he could read through the White Emperor's Discourse Collection, and if there was a fourth life, even if he couldn't obtain the White Emperor's Legacy due to some accident, the greatest benefit could be stored in his memory and carried over.

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou, upon arriving at Blazing Light Cave, paid no further attention to the young man.

Both women preferred tranquility and were diligent in their cultivation. They each chose a spot, cast spells to seal Blazing Light Cave, and began cultivating in peace, leaving Chen Ganliu undisturbed.

Chen Ganliu continued to flip through the book, reciting silently. He knew time was short and he could be killed by the two Demonesses at any moment. He had to seize every second, memorizing more of the White Emperor's Discourse Collection to accumulate more resources for cultivation in the next life.

The White Emperor's Discourse Collection was indeed a cultivation secret technique of the Demon Race, and not entirely suitable for humans.

In ancient times, there were innate Dao Bodies with three hundred and sixty-five Spiritual Veins all connected, each of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) having seventy-two, further divided into Jia and Yi, Bing and Ding, Wu and Ji, Geng and Xin, Ren and Gui. Thirty-six Jia Wood Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Yi Wood Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Bing Fire Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Ding Fire Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Wu Earth Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Ji Earth Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Geng Metal Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Xin Metal Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Ren Water Spiritual Veins, thirty-six Gui Water Spiritual Veins. Each according to the five elements, with an additional five Dharma Veins that did not belong to the five elements, making them particularly special.

Monsters were different.

Monsters also needed innate Spiritual Veins to begin cultivation, but according to ancient sayings: "Human path is complete, demons follow the five elements!"

Since ancient times, monsters were born incomplete. The more mixed their five elements and the less pure their bloodline, the more they needed to be integrated into the five elements. The purer the bloodline, the more they needed to be integrated into the five elements.

Even those with innate spiritual bodies could only have one element complete. For example, a True Dragon body only had seventy-two Ren Gui Spiritual Veins, far inferior to a human body.

The White Emperor Daoist was a White Snake that attained the Dao, with a natural affinity for water. Therefore, all his innate Spiritual Veins were Ren Gui.

The fundamental Dao technique recorded in the White Emperor's Discourse Collection was named the Heavenly River Sword Canon.

This Sword Canon primarily cultivated the seventy-two Ren Gui Spiritual Veins. It was the fundamental secret technique the White Emperor used to roam the world. Not only could it cultivate peerless swordsmanship, but it could also cultivate profound True Qi. It was a Dao technique that entered the Dao through swordsmanship.

There were also over ten powerful spells recorded later, mostly True Water spells.

Although Chen Ganliu knew that he could not cultivate the Heavenly River Sword Canon or these powerful spells, he still recited them repeatedly, committing them all to memory.

While the White Emperor's Discourse Collection was a cultivation method for the Demon Race, its preciousness was no less than the Azure Emperor Jia Yi Art of the Immortal Encounter Sect. After all, both were True Yang level Dao techniques. The only difference was that the Immortal Encounter Sect had cultivators who had reached the True Yang Realm, while the White Emperor had fallen short of stepping into the True Yang Realm.

Back then, the Senior Sister, although she exploited a loophole in the sect rules – the Immortal Encounter Sect only prohibited passing down sect secret techniques to disciples, but not to Dao Companions – only dared to pass down the cultivation Dao techniques, not the powerful spells. While it was partly because Chen Ganliu fundamentally couldn't learn them, it was also because the sect rules were strict, and she dared not pass them down recklessly.

Being able to witness such profound Dao techniques, even if he couldn't cultivate them, Chen Ganliu had to memorize them all. He actually harbored a vague thought: his own aptitude was poor, but perhaps his descendants' aptitude wouldn't be. If he could cultivate a great cultivator among his descendants, perhaps they could help him, their "ancestor," cultivate.
