Push Open the Door to Reach the Depths; Two Books Are Still Needed to Restore the Body

"Um?"

A flash of light landed on Qiu Yan, impossible to block, and Qiu Yan had no intention of resisting anyway. The Unseen sense told him that what was contained in the light was harmless to him.

Sure enough, as soon as the light entered his body and penetrated his mind, it transformed into a series of information that rapidly changed within Qiu Yan's mind, making his consciousness increasingly clear.

Gradually, he noticed that the barrier between himself and the Military Ranks World was dissipating, and his perception of the outside world was becoming clearer. Order containing amazing power were pulsating and moving around him, as if mountains and rivers were beside him, roaring and real, and he could touch them at any time!

"This is..." Qiu Yan's heart stirred, his senses sweeping over the area, "It's all the Military School Order! Clearly traversing this place, it seems I can touch it simply by reaching out my hand, then comprehend and analyze it, and gain something, but..."

Faced with this situation, even Qiu Yan couldn't help but be slightly moved. However, he was not overwhelmed by the passing waves of Order. He knew that the scene he was experiencing was actually just a manifestation of Order, but reaching out was not enough to capture the changes in Order and comprehend its mysteries.

"Although the Order is clearly presented, there are still barriers between what I can see and what is not. Each Order is like a deep, dark sea, containing unfathomable power. What is shown is only a small part of the surface. To understand it, I need to delve deeper into the sea and keep diving. In doing so, not to mention whether I can succeed, I will be drawn into that consciousness, and I may lose my sense of time. A thousand years in a single dive, and my physical body will decay..."

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered what the Guardian Spirit had said and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Could it be that the depths of the Military Ranks World are closer to the Origin Source of Military School Order? If so, then it makes sense why those descendants of military Military School are so keen on delving into the depths of their knowledge. On the Sand Battlefield, using sand as weapons and fighting against others, one can accumulate Sand Battlefield experience and hone command skills. Such circumstances are certainly valuable, but how can they compare to the value of Military School Order?"

Just as Qiu Yan was pondering, the radiance that had been spreading information in his mind suddenly condensed, surged upwards, and imprinted itself on Qiu Yan's forehead, then opened like a door.

Outside, a character appeared on Qiu Yan's forehead. It was the seal script for "soldier," shining brightly and flowing with light, entering his eyes and gradually changing Qiu Yan vision. An invisible gate, standing in mid-air, appeared.

The Unseen connection told Qiu Yan that once he pushed open this door and stepped inside, he could leave the outermost Sand Battlefield of the Military Ranks World and travel to a deeper level, where he could gain far more than he had here.

Deep within him, an instinctive yearning for the Force of Order surged, urging him to push open this door and witness a brand new world.

But Qiu Yan's thoughts did not waver at all. He raised his hand and wiped it on his forehead. The brilliance on the seal body of "bing" dimmed, and the changes in his field of vision also disappeared. Everything returned to the same as before, but the characters did not disappear, and it was obvious that they could be activated again at any time.

"The Military Ranks World beyond the gate is indeed alluring, but I'm not here to explore Military World. Rather, I'm laying the groundwork for training soldiers and building their courage. Let Ran Lian and the others experience it firsthand. Since we can achieve the same goal on the Sand Battlefield, why venture into the more unpredictable Depths of the Army? Besides, supplies must precede troops. If we want to go deeper, we should prepare more thoroughly. While we don't need to be as domineering as Lu Hu, we can't avoid the necessary tasks. Otherwise, wouldn't our Sand Battlefield experience be wasted?"

Thinking this, Qiu Yan turned his gaze and looked at the more than seventy Original Spirit in his hand, then glanced at the more than eighty Original Spirit lingering around him.

The Original Spirit in his hands and beside him both originated from Lu Hu. When Qiu Yan, his consciousness dissipated, and the Original Spirit that had been forcibly taken over his body scattered. Qiu Yan restrained them with his mind, but the results were clear: one part fell into Qiu Yan's palm, seemingly wanting to attach itself to him, while the other part remained isolated. If it weren't for being ownerless and restrained, it would probably have left immediately.

The reason for this is quite simple. The two things that Qiu Yan has acquired are the spirits of the "Tiger Commander's Manual" and the "Discourse on Military Affairs," which are already integrated. They originate from the same source and can naturally influence each other.

The remaining two, however, had not been subdued or subdued by Qiu Yan, so how could they be directly controlled? They still needed to fight a battle.

"These two Original Spirit, totaling eighty, each containing forty, contain vastly different spiritual elements. One is profound and weighty, while the other is unpredictable and ever-changing. Both are unique in their own way. Including the previous <Tiger Commander's Manual> and <Discourse on Military Affairs>, they each lead to their own domain, and each is extraordinary. Even if I were to conquer them all, it would take a lot of effort, and I might not even succeed. That Lu Hu was able to do it. This person is indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for that day's surprise attack, there might have been a tough battle."

Thinking this way, he did not feel any intention to back down, nor was there any need to. The purpose of his Fleshly Body was to experience the changes in Human Path. Even if there were setbacks and failures, they were still experiences, so how could he easily let them go?

With his thoughts cleared, Qiu Yan took a step forward, merging his body into the lingering Original Spirit. In an instant, the light and shadow changed, and the surrounding scenery became different. Then, a portion of the Original Spirit rushed over.

Suddenly, Historical Scroll appeared in my mind: the end of a dynasty, a time of corruption and neglect of state affairs, an unjust emperor, brutal officials, and rampant local tyrants, with chaos and disorder constantly erupting at the border.

The whole world is in turmoil, and the great edifice is about to collapse!

From that mysterious place, a voice flew in—

"What can be done! What can be done! What can be done!"

The voice was filled with anxiety, a desperate desire to quell the chaos and turn the tide, yet it also carried an ancient, dusty aura, clearly remnants of the past. The crumbling dynasty in the scene may have long since vanished into the corners of history, but its Original Spirit has survived.

However, even though it was just a remnant of his consciousness, Qiu Yan understood that if he wanted to take over this Original Spirit without bloodshed, he would have to deal with it properly; otherwise, he would have to go through twists and turns and waste time before he could succeed.

He immediately drew upon the contents of the "Essentials of the Military Classics" in his mind, extracted the relevant information, and incorporated his recent understanding of military Military School into it, responding to the cry of "What can I do?" He focused on Military School matters, supplemented by political and economic advice.

This time, the text first discusses the qualities of generals and the discipline of soldiers, then the protection of the borders and the maintenance of military equipment, and finally the strengthening of the frontier and the consolidation of border defenses. The text builds upon the preceding and following points, and is like an essay written in an examination hall. As the words fall, the surrounding area is suddenly illuminated by the brilliance of Literary Thought!

As soon as the words were spoken, the half of the Original Spirit that had been hovering to the side suddenly surged with energy, spinning rapidly and coalescing into a single sentence—

He used this to satirize the gains and losses of the time, without wishing to make his name known.

Then, the sentences connected end to end, coalescing into a phantom book, on which were written three large characters—

<The Hidden Man's Discourse>!

The book's title immediately seeped into Qiu Yan's heart, scattering into a series of sentences, continuous and intertwined with a sense of patriotism, transforming into a painting that unfolded in his mind, flowing with his thoughts.

After his thoughts had settled, Qiu Yan suddenly shook his head and sighed, "I wonder how many Military School treatises were written not to achieve lasting fame, but simply to contribute their modest efforts. It's a pity..."

With this feeling, Qiu Yan's thoughts shifted, and he drew closer to the remaining Original Spirit.

With the departure of the spirit of <Hidden Man's Discourse>, half of the Original Spirit that had been lingering was gone, leaving only forty-odd paths. At this moment, as Qiu Yan's thoughts turned, the surrounding scenery changed again. The scene of the dynasty's collapse disappeared, replaced by a magnificent palace. The palace was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, exquisite and beautiful. The details of the furnishings were also ingenious, truly exuding the utmost nobility.

Inside the main hall, two people sat facing each other. One was dressed in bright yellow, with golden dragons embroidered on his clothes, exuding an aura of indescribable nobility. The other was dressed in Military School attire, giving off a sharp and ruthless vibe, yet his face was gentle, handsome, and quite refined. These two seemingly contradictory qualities were harmoniously combined and unified in this one person.

Even though they were just phantoms, Qiu Yan could still sense the extraordinary aura and presence of the two. They sat there, seemingly exchanging words, yet not a single sound could be heard. Their mouths moved, but no sound came out. Yet, their words seemed to solidify, gathering and dispersing in the air, exuding an unpredictable feeling, sometimes mysterious, sometimes righteous.

"Dragon robe? Armor?"

Qiu Yan observed the two people's attire and slowly approached, intending to release a bit of his senses to investigate further before acting accordingly and gathering his Original Spirit.

The three paths were Original Edition different, and Qiu Yan's methods for gathering them were also different, but he had roughly summarized a set of methods, and now he was preparing to do the same.

But as he approached, the two people who were talking stopped and turned their heads at the same time, casting their gazes at him!

This scene made Qiu Yan's heart skip a beat!

But given the precedent set by the "Discourse on Military Affairs," he wasn't too surprised and quickly calmed down. This scene, Original Spirit evolution, was based on intention and was naturally different from ordinary illusions.

However, when the man in military uniform spoke, Qiu Yan was startled.

"So it's a descendant of Donghua who has arrived! This is truly a joyous occasion. This Original Spirit should naturally be passed on to you."

"Descendants of Donghua?" Qiu Yan's heart stirred. Then, the situation changed dramatically. The last forty Original Spirit rushed in, merging into the depths of his consciousness, directly manifesting as a book with two words written on it—

<Questions and Answers!>

As the book turned, it transformed into four characters --

The Transformation of the Unorthodox and Orthodox!

The four characters disperse again, evolving and changing, giving rise to a turbulent scroll of history, flowing like water, and eventually transforming into a Historical River!
