Three Thousand Great Marshes

Gu Jinlai looked at the things Xueying had taken out.

"A hundred years in the spirit world."

"The connection between the Demon Realm, the true spirit realm, and the human realm."

"Thirteen Chapters of Soul Secrets"

"Spiritual beings."

"The Holy Scripture of Balance and Insights on Cultivation"

It mainly consists of books, along with some small items.

Although the objects are small, the powerful spirituality contained in each one was clearly felt by the three Heavenly Lords: Gu Jinlai, Zhouyi, and Zhang Lihuo.

However, those small objects with powerful spiritual properties only held their attention for a moment before their minds were completely drawn to the books.

"The Holy Scripture of Balance!? It's actually the Holy Scripture of Balance of the Libra Star Lord!?"

"This book on 'spirit world life' actually describes the characteristics of spirit world life in detail, and even speculates that the Void Beasts are, to some extent, spirit world life, and that the Creator, after losing his way, will also transform into a spirit world life without consciousness in the future?"

"This actually records thirteen soul techniques!? These soul techniques include attack, defense, domain, and support techniques, and they form a complete system from weak to strong, allowing anyone to master them step by step!?"

"This is the understanding and insights of the True Person, who has analyzed the Spirit Realm over the past century, regarding the true Spirit Realm. Another book describes in detail the relationship between the Demon Realm, the Spirit Realm, and the Human Realm..."

The Book of Changes, Zhang Li Huo, and even Gu Jinlai have all treasured these few books.

Even though Zhou Yi came from the Xuanji Sect, which had terrestrial immortals, and had once received the inheritance of the Pisces Star Lord, he still had his eyes opened wide and was deeply moved when faced with these classic texts.

This is the life experience and insights of a Great Heavenly King who stands at the critical point of the Creator.

Its value is even greater than that of an ordinary inheritance from the Creator.

"More than two hundred years ago, the Celestial Emperor, the Beginningless True Person, the Imperial Tutor Tai'a, and others joined forces to open a sacred ruin. It is said that this sacred ruin was a city that fell from space. When it entered the atmosphere, it was destroyed by another creator and scattered a part of it. It was an extremely core part. Because it produced many divine weapons, everyone thought that the master of this space city should be the Aries Star Lord who was skilled in weapon crafting. Unexpectedly... it seems to be the Libra Star Lord?"

Zhang Lihuo looked at the Book of Balance and sighed with emotion.

"Another lineage of the Creator."

Gu Jinlai, people have shown some surprise.

Just a few days ago, he was still racking his brains over the Creator's inheritance, even hoping to make a deal with the Great Qian Dynasty to obtain the supposedly complete Creator's inheritance from the Great Qian royal family. But now...

News from the Great Qian Dynasty hasn't come yet, but he has already obtained the Creator's inheritances of the Book of Nature and the Holy Scripture of Balance.

It's not just about the inheritance; there are also cultivation insights from top-tier Heavenly Monarchs regarding these two inheritances.

With his current foundation, if he continues to cultivate these two Cultivation Method, as long as he has the light, he can become a Great Heavenly Lord in one or two years at most, stand at the threshold of the Creator, and consider whether to transform into a spirit world life.

"The value of these few volumes of classic texts... is truly immeasurable."

Zhou Yi glanced through it for a moment, and was also filled with emotion. "This Wushi True Person's understanding of the spirit world... especially the relationship between the Demon Realm, the spirit world, and the human world can be described as reaching an extreme."

As for the section on spirit world life...

People made similar speculations a thousand years ago.

There are indeed life forms in the spirit world, possibly a lost creator, or even a Great Heavenly Lord who failed to ascend.

However, the spirit realm is vast, and since these beings do not possess consciousness, they would not normally have any interaction with those high-ranking celestial rulers, great celestial rulers, or creators.

"The spirit world, the human world, the Demon Realm..."

Looking at this Gu Jinlai: "The True Person of the Beginningless said that the realm connecting the human world and the Demon Realm is the spirit world?"

"That's true. More than one creator studied this subject thousands of years ago."

Zhou Yi said, "What is the spirit world? It is a world composed of the 'spirituality' of spiritual beings. Wherever there is matter, energy, individuals, and life, there will be a spirit world. In other words, the spirit world is everywhere. The difference is only the amount of spirituality in different areas."

"Is the spirit world everywhere?"

A thought struck Gu Jinlai: "Does a spirit world exist even in the lifeless void of space?"

"Certainly."

Zhou Yi nodded. "I once saw a copied article in a book. The original publisher was the Creator of the Underworld. In his understanding, the spirit world and the human world are like two sides of the world, the positive and negative sides, the light and the dark sides. The two worlds are not subordinate to each other and do not affect each other, but they are interdependent. Therefore, as long as there is space, matter and energy in our world, there will be a spirit world."

Dark energy and vacuum zero-point energy, which have never been proven by the scientific community, have flashed through my mind Gu Jinlai.

Only...

"I originally thought the spirit world was just a basic element of a world...like the low-level code of a computer, building up pictures and software programs, but now it seems...their role is more than that..."

He murmured to himself Gu Jinlai.

He looked at the books for a while, then turned his gaze to Xueying and Xuanyue, who had been waiting quietly to the side.

"You've put your heart into this."

Gu Jinlai said, "For the next period of time, you can focus on your cultivation and growth in my Lingxiao Palace. If there are any problems with the Sanqing Hall, I will take responsibility for resolving them."

Upon hearing this, Xueying immediately perked up.

These words, Gu Jinlai, were undoubtedly a promise; he was willing to bear the pressure from the Sanqing Palace for Xuan Yue.

"Thank you, Palace Master."

Xueying expressed her gratitude respectfully.

Gu Jinlai nodded.

They left the courtyard with the books.

Seeing that Gu Jinlai had really left, Xueying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've finally managed to gain a foothold here."

Xueying turned to Xuanyue and transmitted her thoughts, saying, "However, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Only by becoming strong can we truly ensure our own safety and keep the World Sword in our hands, just like Xuantianzun. Who would dare to snatch the Heavenly Sword from him? And Wuzhong, Wunian, Taiyuan, and the others... Strength is the only guarantee for the safety of divine weapons. Therefore, we should take advantage of this precious time of peace and cultivate as quickly as possible to become Celestial Person, or even saints. Only then will we not have to live under someone else's roof and be terrified like we are now."

Xuan Yue nodded.

After a moment, he said, "This ancient palace master was able to resist the temptation of the World Sword and return it to me... he doesn't seem like a bad person..."

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. We can't place our hopes on others. In short, Brother Xuan Yue, you must grow up as soon as possible. At least you must become Celestial Person first. Only then will you have some power to protect yourself in Qian Tian."

Xueying said solemnly.

Xuan Yue listened and did not refute further, but simply nodded.

Although he possessed the cultivation level of Primordial Spirit True Lord, he lacked combat experience and disliked fighting, even with the World Sword...

They might not even be able to fight against the Celestial Person.

Whatever he wants to do in the future, at least he should cultivate himself into Celestial Person first.

Gu Jinlai, Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, and the others returned to their courtyards.

Over the next few days, the three of them studied the Wushi True Person without any rest, including the classics related to the Heavenly Master Lineage brought by Zhou Yi.

The number of scriptures given by the True Person of Beginning was not large, but without exception, the information recorded on them was something that the Heavenly Lord could hardly obtain.

In particular, books describing the connections between the Demon Realm, the spirit realm, and the human realm also contain approximate maps of a few Demon Realm and the complete human realm.

"Ordinary Demonic Spirit, medium-sized Demonic Spirit, large Demonic Spirit, catastrophic Demonic Spirit, supreme Demonic Spirit, and... ruler-level Demonic Spirit —is this how True Immortal True Person classifies Demonic Spirit in the Demon Realm?"

Zhou Yi stared at this section, his eyes filled with shock. "Supreme-level Demonic Spirit... that is, spirit lords, shouldn't they be the most terrifying beings in the Demon Realm? Why are there also sovereign-level Demonic Spirit? Moreover... this Demon Realm map divides the territory of a sovereign-level Demonic Spirit into one region, and there are actually more than one such region!?"

"A Sovereign-level Demonic Spirit..."

Both Gu Jinlai were somewhat alarmed by this intelligence.

The Spirit Lord is so powerful that only the Creator can suppress and kill him.

Heavenly Emperor...

Even a single Great Heavenly Lord might not be able to defeat a Spirit Venerable whose body length exceeds one hundred meters.

It would take at least three to five people working together to have any hope.

A dominant-level Demonic Spirit...

"Is it a newly evolved existence from the Demon Realm? Just like the Creator was born in our Celestial Master system three thousand years ago? Have Demonic Spirit also given birth to levels above the Supreme?"

Zhang Lihu guessed.

His words caused Gu Jinlai and Zhou Yi to exchange a glance and nod solemnly at the same time.

"Among the twelve domains of the Holy Domain, there are more than a dozen grotto-heavens, and without exception, each one is a lineage of True Immortals! True Immortals live for thousands of years, so the probability of having resident True Immortals among these lineages is not low. In addition, after the fall of the Holy Domain, many of the divine weapons forged by the Creators fell into the hands of resident True Immortals. With the help of their own True Immortal Dao Fruit power, they can already contend with Spirit Venerables, and even kill Spirit Venerables. Yet, under these circumstances, the twelve domains still fell..."

Looking at the records about the sovereign Demonic Spirit in this book, Zhou Yi had already come to believe most of it.

If it weren't for such terrifying existences, it would be impossible to explain why the powerful Twelve Domains would have completely fallen.

"After a Spirit Lord transforms into Demonic Beasts, he can grow into Demonic Beasts Emperor... which is comparable to a True Immortal on Earth. I really don't know how powerful a Dominator-level Demonic Spirit can become after transforming into Demonic Beasts..."

Zhang Lihuo said with a suppressed expression.

Despite having crafted powerful war Spirit Artifact, they still seemed to be several levels below the terrifying Demon Realm Demonic Spirit of the demon realm, and defeating these dreadful monsters seemed a distant prospect.

He plans to continue his research on Gu Jinlai, as well as the Book of Changes and Zhang Lihuo.

At this moment, Xin Tianqi's divine sense suddenly transmitted over. "Palace Master, the Great Qian royal family has issued a warning, telling us to be careful of the Three Thousand Great Swamps south of Muzhou."

"Three thousand great swamps?"

Gu Jinlai was taken aback for a moment, then quickly activated the Qian Tian purple qi Technique and looked south.

Suddenly, an immense black aura, like a mountain pressing down, rolled in and completely enveloped Nanmu Prefecture.
