As soon as he finished speaking, the blackness in Left Wise King's eyes suddenly surged out, and strange characters flew up from his body, converging into a thin stream of black water. The characters on the surface changed, and it pounced towards Qiu Yan, releasing a powerful and domineering aura.

This is an attempt to seize possession, a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest!

But Qiu Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly opened the book in his hand. There were several strange characters flowing on it, but their aura was obviously different, revealing a bit of divine power!

"This is..." A slightly surprised thought emanated from the dark stream, which was then drawn by a similar aura and crashed directly into the book!

Bang!

Amidst the sound of collision, an invisible wave of energy erupted from the open pages of the book, which suddenly released a powerful aura, imbued with a rich sense of Human Path!

This aura even contained a trace of Divine Ability power, with a faint glimmer of Divine Radiance!

"Human Path, the Way of Nature and Life, the Divine Path! Good heavens, how did you manage to condense all these things into one book? So this book isn't just a simple Human Dao Canon, but rather..."

Ripples of intent emanated from the dark stream, but before the words could be finished, they were interrupted. Two Dragon Qi sensed the danger of the books and classics, and each released a portion of their energy to strike the dark stream, suppressing and obliterating the will within.

Call!

The thin stream burst open, transforming into eerie characters, with black mist drifting between them.

"Why can the Way of the Divine Path and the Way of Nature and Life coexist with the Human Path? How can these two paths completely separate from the Human Path? They were originally born based on the Human Path, yet they consider themselves superior to Human Path..."

Qiu Yan shook his head, and with a thought, he rapidly flipped through the book in his hand, absorbing the characters that emitted black mist and placing them onto a page.

On this page, several characters were already engraved. These characters were peeled off from the Half-Body the Left Wise King's body when Qiu Yan cut him in half at the waist. He used his divine power to permeate and recombine them, imprinting them on a page of the book. When he unleashed them at the crucial moment, they immediately attracted the strange characters of the same origin and shattered the inexplicable will's attempt to possess him behind the dark stream.

In fact, Qiu Yan had already noticed the strangeness about the Left Wise King. Although he was preoccupied with other matters and unable to investigate further, he had vaguely discerned some clues from the strange characters and the drawing of circles in mid-air earlier. He knew that there was a master behind the man, and it was likely just a setup.

Now that Qiu Yan has crushed the other party's heart, how could they not be on guard?

Having done all this, Qiu Yan suddenly swung his arm, pulling his right hand out of the Left Wise King's chest, dripping with blood. Within that blood lay numerous entanglements of Karma.

Qiu Yan murmured, and the Karma and effect unfolded, transforming into strands of resentment. Rising and evaporating, they formed blurry outlines, the lingering resentment of the frontier people after their deaths, entangled in the Karma. Only now were they being released.

Qiu Yan's predecessor lived with his father in Zuoqu Village in Southern Border, but the entire village was massacred by the men of Mountain-Passing Great King. Several surrounding villages were also wiped out.

The resentment of the villagers from several villages has been clinging to the Tongshan Demon King ever since, and it is quite intense. However, compared with the resentment clinging to the Left Wise King, it is like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon, and cannot be compared.

Blood gushed from the wound of the Left Wise King, not touching the ground, but evaporating in mid-air, turning into streams of resentment. Each drop of blood contained the resentment of dozens or even hundreds of innocent people, intertwined into cause and Karma. With Qiu Yan's whisper, the blood unfurled and unraveled, transforming into silhouettes and figures, lining up and arranging themselves. From the initial few people, to a dozen or so, then dozens, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands!

Those figures, like sesame seeds blooming, rose higher and higher as their outlines became more visible, climbing continuously above the eye of the storm until they finally reached the sky.

The Left Wise King's hands and every command he issued were already stained with blood.

In a battle between two countries, it is normal to kill enemy generals and even to slaughter innocent civilians and exterminate entire families. However, in Qiu Yan's eyes, this indiscriminate killing of innocent people was incompatible with his past experiences and his own beliefs.

As he watched, a hint of murderous intent, coldness, and fire appeared in Qiu Yan's eyes.

"Left Wise King, you only know that others killing you creates enmity and Karma with Rouluo, but when you killed so many hardworking people of the Central Plains, did you not consider that this act would create Karma with the Central Plains? Today's result is yesterday's cause. Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Clashes between armies are common in Military School, but indiscriminately killing innocent people is an atrocity..."

After speaking, Qiu Yan straightened his clothes, tossed the book he was holding in his left hand forward, raised his arms, and solemnly bowed to the figures.

As he bent down, the resentment of countless people returned the gesture, then vanished with a "boom," transforming into a sky full of light and shadow that depicted the changes in the borderlands. Karma and effect shifted rapidly, flashing and showing the battles between Military School. Finally, it transformed into Blood Qi that flew towards Qiu Yan, gathered in his palm, and he slapped it onto the jade pendant at his waist.

The jade pendant trembled, and a streak of emerald blood appeared amidst its vibrant colors.

"The Essentials of the Military Classics is divided into four parts. The first part, 'System,' has already taken shape. There will be a part on the frontier later, which involves geography and is an indispensable part of military strategy. However, it cannot be completed overnight. The scenario depicted by these myriad resentments is consistent with this second part, but it cannot be rushed. I do not yet have a deep understanding of it, so I will have to put it aside for now and complete the first part first to experience the Human Path Feedback."

As soon as he finished speaking, his Divine Soul shifted, and a clear thought flowed through his mind. His Heart Fire leaped, and the figures of Wan Min flickered, drawing out the remaining Four Souls. He shifted four times in a row, merging into them. Yang Qi was generated, condensed, and transformed into a wisp of flame.

Yang Fire!

The Third Realm of Nature Cultivation, the peak of the Unity Realm!

After writing ancient texts, sensing the Dragon Qi, and sending away the resentment of the border people, Qiu Yan's State of Mind finally transformed, and his soul attained enlightenment, stepping onto a new level.

However, this was not the end. The crimson color in the Divine Soul slowly filled up, then showed signs of fading, and a glimmer of light shone from the center of the soul.

That was a glimmer of hope in the Fourth Realm of Spiritual Light.

However, this glimmer of hope did not last long and soon showed signs of fading, but Qiu Yan was not surprised.

"What I've accumulated in my heart has condensed into the first part of the Essentials of the Military Classics. The newly emerging insight is not yet enough to break through the limits, but fortunately, this is not the end."

Thinking this, Qiu Yan turned his gaze and looked at the books he had thrown away.

Once the book was released from Qiu Yan's control, its power surged and erupted, enveloping the corpse of the Left Wise King. Then, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, formed from the Defensive Order, striking the book squarely.

This caused the corpse of the Left Wise King to tremble, and Offensive Order surged forth from it!

"Oh?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes. "When I activated the Order earlier, I noticed something. Now it seems that a large part of this Order Fruit has been directly implanted into the body of this Left Wise King! It seems that his ability to Thought-Convergent Order is also related to the person behind it."

To Thought-Convergent Order is to be called Grand Confucian in Great Rui. To achieve this, one often has to go through many twists and turns. Apart from opportunities and fortuitous opportunity, very few people can attain the Order at the age of Qiu Yan and Left Wise King.

This also gave Qiu Yan some idea, and as he changed his mind, the two Order had already come into contact through the book.

The book vibrated, and every word on the page seemed to shine, as if it had been given life.

"With both offense and defense in place, this is the perfect framework for the 'system'. In this way, the book can finally be considered complete!"

The moment the word "success" was uttered, the heavens and earth trembled, the sky changed, and radiance poured down, passing through the Dragon Qi hurricane and landing directly on Qiu Yan.

His Divine Soul shifted, his consciousness extended, part of it connecting to the book, while the other part floated upwards, reaching straight to the Nine Heavens.

Deep in the sky, terrifying bolts of lightning crackled incessantly, exuding an aura of destruction.

Qiu Yan was familiar with this sight; he knew it was lightning at the very top of this continent, capable of preventing people from leaving. He had once ascended in his Divine Spirit Body and clearly sensed that if he continued to rise, he would be struck and engulfed by that destructive lightning, ultimately losing his life.

But now, as his consciousness extended, Qiu Yan's thoughts continued to rise, and he quickly rushed into the rolling thunder. However, he was not burned by the thunder. Instead, he felt wisps of artistic conception from it!

That's the essence of Order!

"These lightning bolts are actually Human Path Lightning! No, they're not just simple Human Path Lightning; they seem to also contain Divine Path power, and besides..."

Various insights spread through his heart, bringing a unique feeling. The lightning contained not only Military School Order, but also all-encompassing principles, revealing all kinds of different truths, as if hundreds of sages were teaching him by word and deed.

In a short time, Qiu Yan benefited greatly. Then, his consciousness continued to drift, and with a little surprise, he actually Transcendence the layers of Order Lightning and arrived in the starry sky!

The starry sky was boundless and silent, seemingly unchanging since time immemorial.

At that moment, an indescribable feeling spread through his heart, causing his consciousness to gradually expand, like ink spreading slowly in water.

In this process, countless pieces of complex and difficult-to-discern information gather and enter into one's heart, bringing indescribable insights.

"Soaring upwards, ascending to immortality. Having grasped this principle, the insights in my heart are indeed like eating a divine fruit." With a thought of this, Qiu Yan looked down and saw the entire Eastern Radiance Continent, a vast continent with a round sky and a square earth.

In the far east, the People's Wishes is boiling, connected to their bloodline, exceptionally clear, with strands of Order dancing within, like a ball of thread weaving through it. In other places, however, clouds and mist obscure the view.

In a daze, a panorama of continents was projected onto his mind.

Suddenly!

Another image flashed through my mind!

It was a dark, Water Prison, with chains hanging on the walls, binding figures, and those figures constantly emanated an aura of Order, Thought-Convergent Order!

"Huh? People Thought-Convergent Order have been directly imprisoned in Water Prison? And there are so many of them? What kind of place is this?" (To be continued...)
