Whether it's absurd or not, that's how the author of this novel set up the five volumes of the Heavenly Book.

In addition, Ling Yi has another guess: the world in which the Protagonist Zheng Hai lives is very likely the Primordial World of the Dharma-ending Age.

Following the typical plot of a novel, Zheng Hai will most likely restart the Primordial World in the future.

The Sign-In System on the Protagonist is probably another contingency plan of these Primordial World Sage.

" The Heavenly Book is a wondrous book left behind by an ancient powerful being. It contains five Dao Rhyme. I will place these five Dao Rhyme, along with the Weapon Art, in the Trial Tower for the disciples of the Qingyun Sect to comprehend."

"It's getting too late, let's leave it at that for today."

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he took Lu Xueqi and Biyao and left.

Daoxuan and the others exchanged glances. This half-hearted approach clearly indicated that Ling Yi didn't want to say more about the Heavenly Book.

"I will announce my seclusion tomorrow, and from now on, the Qingyun Sect will be under your management," Daoxuan said.

"Senior brother..." Tian Buyi frowned.

"Today the Zhu Xian Sword is broken. I believe that this news will soon spread throughout the world. I, Daoxuan, was at fault first, and almost fell into demonic possession, causing a great disaster. In the eyes of outsiders, I am intolerant and have no face to continue as the sect leader."

"I'm going to the ancestral hall to keep Senior Brother Wan Jianyi company."

Daoxuan brought up the old matter again, but only a day later, his mindset was completely different.

Half Moon later, a towering glazed pagoda rose into the clouds atop Big Bamboo Peak.

The tower has a hundred stories and is a thousand feet tall, with an incredibly vast interior space.

Each floor is an independent space, and each floor presents a challenge.

Whether it's Combat monsters or honing their mental fortitude, each trial is a valuable experience for the disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

The Seven Peaks Martial Tournament has been cancelled. The strength and level of the disciples from each peak are now determined by their tower-climbing points, making it clear who is superior and who is inferior.

It's not just the disciples who challenge the tower; the elders of the Qingyun Sect and the heads of each peak also participate.

After all, every ten levels, there is a chance to comprehend Weapon Formula or Heavenly Book.

The Qingyun Sect is thriving, especially Big Bamboo Peak, which is now incredibly lively compared to the past.

Biyao and You Ji, along with some of the younger disciples of the Ghost King Sect, also joined Big Bamboo Peak.

As for the Ghost King, he also came to the Qingyun Sect to find Ling Yi, arriving in a rage and leaving dejected.

It's truly pathetic that such a powerful figure doesn't even have a single line of dialogue.

" Ling Yi, Xiaofan, I'm sorry."

Behind Big Bamboo Peak, there is a separate courtyard, which is where Ling Yi, Lu Xueqi, and Biyao usually live.

At this moment, Lin Jingyu was standing in front of Ling Yi with his head down, and next to him were Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er.

Zhang Xiaofan spoke in a muffled voice, his face pale. Tian Ling'er was holding his hand, her face full of worry.

"He is, after all, your the Final Master. It's understandable that you can't bring yourself to do it. How is Cangsong now?" Ling Yi asked.

"Master... Cangsong cut off his own arm. When I left, he said he was going to the Myriad Poison Valley. I'm afraid that once he goes there, his fate is uncertain."

"This is a death wish!" Ling Yi said.

" Xiaofan, you have already grasped the contents of the Weapon Art and the first volume of the Heavenly Book. You should go out and gain some experience, travel around, and see more of the world. Perhaps you should visit Tianyin Temple."

" Ling Yi, I, I..."

Ultimately, all these things need a resolution.

"I'll go with you!" Tian Ling'er said.

"Alright, then let's go tell the Final Master and Mistress and set off."

The tragedy in Grass Temple Village remains a permanent scar on the hearts of both Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu.

Lin Jingyu is somewhat better off, but Zhang Xiaofan has already developed Obsession, and coupled with the influence of the Soul Devourer Staff, he will eventually erupt one day.

The Buddhist teachings of Tianyin Temple were of great benefit to Zhang Xiaofan, who had cultivated the Great Brahman Prajna.

After Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu left, Ling Yi smiled at a corner of the courtyard and said, "Old man, coming to the Qingyun Sect is like coming home for you, so why are you sneaking around like this?"

The figures of Zhou Yixian and Zhou Xiaohuan slowly appeared.

"You're quite something, kid. You managed to spot that? This move of mine can even grant free access to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury."

"Don't forget, I created the Weapon Formula. Although you've incorporated your own Formation Dao, the essence remains the same."

"Hello, Brother Yi!" Zhou Xiaohuan greeted Ling Yi with a smile.

"Looks like your grandpa's been doing well these past six months; he's fattened you up!"

"Oh? Grandpa, it's all your fault."

Zhou Yixian shook his head and laughed, scolding, "You brat, most of the money is with you. You can't blame me for your own greed. Why don't you give the money to your grandfather for safekeeping? I guarantee you'll lose weight in less than Half Moon."

"No!" Zhou Xiaohuan clutched her wallet and refused.

Zhou Yixian's expression turned serious as he asked Ling Yi, "Have you collected all five volumes of the Heavenly Book?"

Where did you hear that from?

"Have you forgotten what I do?" Zhou Yixian said arrogantly.

" Jianghu con artist?"

"Get lost!" Zhou Yixian.

"Hehe, Brother Yi, we overheard Tian Buyi and Su Ru's conversation earlier, it wasn't Grandpa who figured it out."

"Grandpa has spoiled you for nothing." Zhou Yixian showed no embarrassment at being exposed, and just glared at Xiaohuan.

What secrets do the five volumes of the Heavenly Book hold?

"It cannot be spoken of."

"Why?"

"The time isn't right yet," Ling Yi said, making things up.

After a pause, Ling Yi countered, "Are you planning to return to the Qingyun Sect this time to acknowledge your ancestry?"

Would you acknowledge me as your ancestor?

"You're overthinking it!" Ling Yi was speechless.

"If you don't acknowledge it, no one else will either. I only calculated that Xiaohuan Huan had a special opportunity with the Qingyun Sect, so I brought Xiaohuan here."

"Let Xiaohuan go and challenge the Trial Tower; perhaps her destiny lies there."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Yixian didn't waste any time. He turned around, drew a Formation, and disappeared with Zhou Xiaohuan.

"There are quite a lot of people here today." Ling Yi looked at the entrance again with a sigh.

Zheng Hai came this time.

" Big Shot, that's a bit much. You've ruined the Seven Peaks Martial Tournament, what about my daily sign-in tasks?"

As soon as Zheng Hai appeared, he complained to Ling Yi with a long face.

Doesn't the Sign-In System refresh?

"Ahem, the page has been refreshed, but the sign-in quest location is at the top of the Trial Tower. I have no chance if I try to get there by myself. Big Shot, you have to help me."

"You're only at the Jade Purity Realm Ninth Layer?"

"What do you mean by 'talent'? Big Shot, under normal circumstances, it would take a cultivator with decent aptitude several decades to go from an ordinary person to the Jade Purity Realm Ninth Layer. Your use of the word 'talent' is a bit excessive."

"I suggest you explore on your own, especially lingering a bit longer after every ten floors."

"You're not going to make me try to comprehend the Heavenly Book or your Weapon Art on my own, are you? I don't have the aptitude for cultivation, I can't comprehend it, have you forgotten that?"

"Believe me, you may not be able to comprehend the Weapon Formula, but you'll definitely be able to master the Heavenly Book."

"Are you sure?" Zheng Hai asked doubtfully, "Why do you seem to know so much about my cheat ability?"

"Whether it is or not, you'll know once you try it yourself."

Zheng Hai left with a puzzled look on his face, while Ling Yi continued to lie on the deck chair, basking in the sun.

At this moment, in mid-air, Ling Yi's true form stood opposite Yin Wanqing in the Void.

"Is there no difference between your Clone and your original body?" Yin Wanqing asked.

" The Clone doesn't have any cheat abilities, but otherwise it's the same; memories and insights can Sharing at any time."

"Hmm!" Yin Wanqing nodded. "This is a good setup; at least it won't make your women feel like they're living with puppets."

As Yin Wanqing spoke, her eyes never left Zheng Hai; at that moment, her eyes seemed to be Light Emission.

"This Protagonist is great!"

"Hmm?" Ling Yi was taken aback and looked at Yin Wanqing, feeling that Yin Wanqing's gaze at this moment was easy to misunderstand.

"What do you want to do?" Ling Yi asked curiously.

"Of course, we should let this Protagonist continue working for the Ling Realm."

"You've already taken in Ye Tian and Lin Feng, and now you've set your sights on Zheng Hai? Do you have some kind of peculiar collecting fetish for Protagonist?"

"Next time you encounter Protagonist, even if you don't like them, don't just kill them without thinking," Yin Wanqing said, rolling her eyes.

"I don't think I've killed off many Protagonist, have I? Most of them have pretty positive Protagonist."

"And why? Never say 'You'll find out later' again!"

"Derivative storylines, actively seeking inspiration for the Uncle author."

Ling Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the key point.

"For us, the scariest thing isn't that Uncle authors write poorly, but that Uncle might suddenly lose inspiration, hit a creative block, and just give up."

"Uh..." Eunuch, Ling Yi shuddered. This was what he feared most.

"As we analyzed before, the Uncle has his own main job, and although he has plenty of free time, writing novels is purely a hobby."

"Once a novel hits a roadblock and lacks inspiration for a long time... coupled with the fact that the author, Uncle, doesn't have much writing experience, it's very likely that..." Yin Wanqing made a scissor gesture.

"So you're saying you're providing material for the author in advance?"

"Almost!"

Ling Yi was now truly impressed by Yin Wanqing. She really did think ten steps ahead for every step she took; such vision was something not everyone possessed.

"Amazing, amazing!" Ling Yi gave a thumbs up and said "amazing" twice.

"Don't forget, I've published a physical book." Yin Wanqing was unusually proud for once.

"Yes, a truly talented woman," Ling Yi complimented.

"Your pace is pretty good right now, just keep it up. As for the female leads, if you like one, just go for it, don't hesitate. Uncle author is following the typical 'feel-good' novel formula, as long as it's enjoyable, that's all that matters."

"Um, are you sure the readers won't complain?"

"No novel can cater to everyone's taste. Don't try to be both ways; that will only make people more annoyed. Less preaching, less Great Dao, less playing with concepts of artistic realm and data, just go for it."

"Besides, the readers are criticizing the Uncle, what business is it of yours?"

That makes sense, Ling Yi was speechless!
