Second Book of Heaven?
How so?
Li Wei couldn't understand how there could be two identical cassocks in this mission world, both bearing the same calligraphy that read "Evil-Resisting Sword Manual," a martial arts classic.
This isn't a matter of probability; it's something that should never have happened.
Autumn had arrived at the Mount Hua Sect, and the autumn leaves covering the mountainside appeared very warm under the setting sun. But Li Wei's mood at this moment was almost as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Clearly, after I left the Lin Family Old Residence, someone took the counterfeit Evil-Resisting Sword Manual- Evil-Resisting Sword Manual and replaced it with the genuine one.
Who is doing this, and for what purpose? Also, what's the deal with these two identical Evil-Resisting Sword Manual?
Although there is no modern appraisal technology here, Li Wei believes that if the two robes were taken for appraisal, the results would surely leave those scientists speechless.
They must be exactly the same, from the texture and material to the words written on them, they are like clones.
That's right, it's cloning!
Who could do that? You have to understand, this is the quest world of Shadow Street.
Li Wei's first thought was whether it was the work of other reincarnators, but after entering this mission world, Li Wei did not find any possibility of other reincarnators existing.
This is truly an inexplicable event.
Lin Pingzhi couldn't provide any more clues, so Li Wei simply swung his sword and killed him. He wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to gain cultivation points.
At this point, Li Weihua and his group had accumulated 5200 cultivation points.
Mounting the Condor, Li Wei left Mount Hua to continue his cultivation journey.
However, those two identical robes became an unsolvable mystery in Li Wei's mind.
Three months later.
Above the western desert, a giant eagle flew low, and on its back rode a young man dressed in black.
At this moment, the young man carried a sword and a saber on his back. If any martial arts practitioners were present, they would surely be envious. The saber and sword were none other than the Dragon Saber and the Heavenly Sword.
Without a doubt, this person was Li Wei.
In three months, riding his Condor, he challenged almost every sect, and Li Wei wiped out all the notorious bandits and villains in the martial arts world.
It wasn't that Li Wei was merciful and didn't kill good people; it was just that after he killed Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi last time, he found something called 'good and evil value' on the Black Paper.
This should be the same as the good/evil value in the game, but the explanation on the Black Paper drove Li Wei even more crazy.
"Good/Evil Value: When this attribute falls below a certain value, the ten greatest martial arts masters will join forces to hunt you down..."
This is why Li Wei is so cautious, afraid of accidentally killing the wrong person and attracting the wrath of the top ten masters. Fortunately, it's just a friendly sparring match, so it won't reduce his good/evil points.
After three months of continuous fighting, Li Wei finally mastered the Sunflower Divine Skill to level 10. At this point, he could even put up a fight against a true grandmaster.
With a large amount of cultivation points, Li Wei managed to forcefully upgrade the Nine Yin Manual to level 8. With two peerless divine skills protecting him, Li Wei could basically roam the martial arts world with impunity at this moment.
However, the Nameless Fist levels up slowly, and so far it's only at level 7.
However, no sect was willing to spar with Li Wei anymore, so Li Wei had no choice but to end his cultivation journey prematurely.
Li Wei's purpose in arriving in the western desert this time was very clear: to obtain the second Book of Heaven, "The White Horse Neighs in the West Wind".
In the game, you can find this Book of Heaven in the Gaochang Maze in the desert ruins. The only problem is that there is a huge stone in the tunnel that can only be broken with powerful internal energy or the Dark Iron Sword.
Now, Li Wei possesses two unparalleled martial arts skills, so his internal strength is naturally beyond question. After all, in the entire Jin Yong World, there are only a handful of people who can surpass him in internal strength.
After flying for a while, Li Wei glanced at the map and patted the Condor's head, saying, "Brother Eagle, let's go down, we've arrived!"
The Condor had spent more than three months with Li Wei, and their relationship was now completely different. Most importantly, its intelligence was astonishing. Li Wei was now absolutely certain that it could understand human speech, even if it couldn't speak it.
The Condor slowly descended, Li Wei squinted as he looked down.
Sure enough, amidst several yellow rocks, a patch of broken ruins appeared.
Li Wei leaped into the air, soaring down like a roc. His feet didn't even sink into the sand. Keep in mind, Li Wei was carrying a sword and a saber on his back, weighing well over a hundred pounds, which shows that Li Wei's lightness skill was quite impressive.
A gust of wind blew by, and the sand on the ground rustled and flowed like water. Looking out, the entire desert stretched as far as the eye could see, and the sand, like solidified lake water, formed many ripples, all clearly due to the wind.
"Brother Eagle, come down too, the sun's too strong up there!" Li Wei shouted.
The Condor descended slowly, just like a human, and followed Li Wei to the ruins.
There are many tall rocks around here, their shapes somewhat strange due to years of wind erosion. When the wind blows, it makes a whistling sound.
Unlike the sand and stones baked by the scorching sun, these ruins were surprisingly cool because of the surrounding massive rocks that blocked the sunlight, like a natural air conditioner. Li Wei nodded in satisfaction, thinking that placing Brother Eagle here was the most suitable option.
After settling the Condor, Li Wei walked alone into the ruins.
Unlike in the game, there is more than one house here. In Li Wei's eyes, this place is more like a small town. Judging from the dilapidated pottery jars that are covered by sand but still reveal some outlines, this place was once quite prosperous.
Referring to the map, Li Wei headed directly towards the largest house in the ruins.
It's called a house, but in reality, only half of the roof remains. The wooden door panels are rotten and warped, swaying and creaking in the wind.
Li Wei knew that the entrance to the Gaochang Maze was right here.
Pushing open the long-rotted wooden door, Li Wei stepped inside. His eyes immediately fell upon the enormous wooden cabinet standing in the corner.
The wooden cabinet was as tall as a person and very wide; the entrance to the maze was located beneath it.
Li Wei walked over and tried to push the wooden cabinet away, but found it to be ridiculously heavy. He knew that even a casual push from Li Wei would exert a force of over a hundred pounds, and with a little more force, a thousand pounds would be no problem, yet the cabinet didn't budge an inch.
Li Wei reached out and knocked on it. He frowned. Clearly, the wooden cabinet was hollow, meaning there was something inside.
With a cold laugh, Li Wei took a step back and drew the Dragon Saber from behind his back.
"Dragon Saber, weapon, purple quality. When equipped, the user gains the 'Power Enhancement' effect, increasing strength by 80%... This is an unparalleled divine weapon, and can be taken out of the quest world!"
This is the attribute of the Dragon Saber. Not only is its attribute powerful, but its appearance is also extremely fierce.
The blade was forged from pure purple-gold iron, with a thick and heavy back; it could be described as an elongated version of a large axe. Gripping the hilt, Li Wei felt his power surging forth continuously.
Li Wei raised the Dragon Saber and slashed down at the wooden cabinet.
"I want to see what's inside this wooden cabinet and why it's so heavy!"
Click!
The Dragon Saber pierced through the outer shell of the wooden cabinet, sending wood chips flying everywhere. Li Wei, however, controlled the downward trajectory of the blade perfectly, just enough to break through the outer skin without damaging the contents inside.
Something appeared in front of Li Wei.
This is a sculpture.
It appears to be made of some kind of black rock, the shape of which Li Wei couldn't describe. In fact, Li Wei had never seen anything like the object depicted in the sculpture before.
However, judging from some of the features of this sculpture, it is clearly a 'person', only with a somewhat strange appearance!
I reached out and touched it; it felt icy cold.
"Is it jade?" Li Wei was taken aback. He looked at it again and confirmed his guess. "It really is jade, and it's the rare black jade. But how could there be such a thing?"
Completely baffled, Li Wei summoned the Black Paper and stored the black jade sculpture in his storage space.
Without the black jade, the wooden cabinet was cleaved into pieces by Li Wei's blade, revealing the hidden entrance to the maze on the floor.
Li Wei jumped straight in.
"Ding, entering the Gaochang Maze..."
The clue on the Black Paper told Li Wei that he had not come to the wrong place; this was indeed the location where the second Book of Heaven, "The White Horse Neighs in the West Wind," was hidden.
Soon, Li Wei found the white stone wall.
Only by shattering this wall can we continue forward. This time, Li Wei still used the Dragon Saber. He unleashed the Level 10 Sunflower Divine Skill, and his body emitted a swirling aura due to his powerful true energy.
"Break!" Li Wei unleashed two lightning-fast strikes.
A flash of light appeared, and two cracks appeared on the white stone wall. Then the cracks gradually spread, and in no time, the white stone wall shattered into countless pieces with a 'crack'. Behind the white stone wall, a passage was revealed.
Sheathing the Dragon Saber, Li Wei didn't hesitate and went straight inside.
Unlike games where you can navigate in just a few steps, the Gaochang Maze was a true maze. It took Li Wei a full three hours to find the right path.
At the end of the passage, a box came into view, and Li Wei was secretly delighted; it seemed that what he was looking for was there.
Looking back now, Li Wei had already decided to choose "The White Horse Neighs in the West Wind" in his original plan. The reason for choosing it was simple: this Book of Heaven was very easy to obtain; the only difficulty was the white stone wall.
Now, he is about to obtain the Book of Heaven, which means that Li Wei has already collected the second Book of Heaven. At this time, only seven months have passed since the one-year mission deadline.
Everything was going according to Li Wei's plan. He strolled over leisurely and opened the box. The next second, Li Wei's eyes widened.
The box was completely empty!
