Zhang Yao had an idea and took out a book from his storage bag.

The material of this book, at first glance, seems to be the same as the paper of a mortal book, but it can actually blur the perception of spiritual thoughts and allow the feedback of spiritual thoughts to ignore it.

If Zhang Yao's spiritual sense had not become what it used to be and was extremely sharp, and there were a large number of items in the storage bag for comparison, which made him realize that something was wrong, he might not have been able to find it.

He had seen this trait that could make a monk's mind automatically ignore it many years ago.

He glanced at it, and sure enough, there were five familiar large characters on the cover of the book.

""The Theory of Spiritual Origin"..."

Zhang Yao's brows furrowed deeply, thoughts flashed in his mind, and a trace of doubt arose:

"How come Murong Xiao still has this book in his storage bag?"

He also has two books of "The Theory of Spiritual Origins" on hand.

The first book was found in Taoist Wanhe's cave when he returned to the country of Li to cultivate immortality. Its origin is very mysterious and it is difficult to trace the source.

The second book was collected by the Five Elements Sanshi at that time. It was accidentally acquired during his travels in Tianzhou. It was later treasured in the treasure house of the Five Elements Secret Realm and has been covered in dust for two thousand years.

after that:

Yuwentai secretly opened the Five Elements Secret Realm, stirred up the situation in Dali, and released many secret treasures, including this book.

It was this book that directly triggered the War of Five Sects, led to the destruction of the Xuanhe Pingdu Sect, and indirectly led to a series of subsequent chaos, all of which affected Zhang Yao and almost killed him.

After the Pingdu Clan was destroyed, the contents of the "Spiritual Roots" were shared by the four families, and the original copy fell into the hands of Ancestor Zhenyang.

It wasn't until Zhang Yao became the uncrowned king of Dali that Ancestor Zhenyang dedicated the original to him during a certain visit.

"I didn't expect that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye..."

Zhang Yao was caught up in his memories and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But he quickly regained his composure, re-examined the book in his hand, and pondered in silence.

"This "Spiritual Source Theory" can be called the source of trouble!"

"However, the secret methods recorded in it are of great reference value, and can at least be used to broaden one's horizons..."

The two "Spiritual Origins" in his hands each record a horrifying secret method:

The first book records a ‘Five Phase Dissociation Method’, which can dissociate and differentiate the five natural spiritual roots and artificially create heavenly spiritual roots;

The second book records a ‘Five Phase Rebirth Method’, which can regulate the direction of mutation of the five spiritual roots, thereby artificially creating strange spiritual roots;

However, the 'Five Phase Rebirth Method' has long been proven to be an unworkable fake by the Five Elements San people more than two thousand years ago, and later by Zhenyang Patriarch, Lonely Tianyi and others.

As for the 'Five Phase Dissociation Method', Zhang Yao doesn't dare to say for sure, but there is a high probability that it is also false.

Due to the disaster he suffered that year, he was quite disgusted with the "Ling Yuan Liu Lun" and regarded it as an evil book. However, because it had some value and there might be some secret hidden behind it, he kept it.

Unexpectedly, Murong Xiao, the ‘Shenxing Heavenly King’, actually collected a copy of ‘Lingyuan Liulun’, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

"Well, let me take a look first..."

Zhang Yao looked through the classics in his hand and glanced at the contents.

Most of the content in the front of this book is exactly the same as the two books in his hand. It is based on the theory of "Qi-Mechanism Sympathy" and explains the origin and birth mechanism of spiritual roots.

He has read this part of the content more than once, but with his current state of mind and knowledge, he has a new understanding after reading it again. It can be said that he is reviewing the past and learning the new.

"If it weren't for the secret method at the end, this book would be a top-notch Taoist treasure book."

Zhang Yao sighed, and after adjusting his mood, he finally opened the last part.

Just as he expected:

At the end of this "Spiritual Source Theory", there is also a terrifying secret method called the 'Inverse Five Elements Death Technique'.

This secret method is also aimed at those with five spiritual roots. It can break the five elements spiritual roots and reverse them into a "treasure energy" that is closest to the innate state. It can be called the 'great medicine for the human body'!

This treasure energy can be used to strengthen spiritual roots that are not all five elements. Although it is ineffective against heavenly spiritual roots and foreign spiritual roots, it has an immediate effect on other spiritual root attributes!

The most suitable way to use it is for monks with earth spirit roots to swallow this 'human body medicine', which will greatly strengthen their own spirit roots and achieve effects that are almost comparable to those of heavenly spirit roots and alien spirit roots!

"This is absolutely evil!"

Zhang Yao's brows furrowed as he watched, feeling disgusted but also slightly wary.

The content of these three "Spiritual Roots" highly praises the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, but the secret methods recorded are all used against those who have the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and each one is more sinister than the other, and the subject is more likely to be affected by the spell. Either dead or disabled.

What was the purpose of those who compiled these evil books and the people or forces behind them?

The only thing Zhang Yao can be sure of right now is:

The formation time of these "Spiritual Roots Theory" should be after ancient times.

After all, in ancient times, the Five Elements Spiritual Roots still enjoyed the reputation of 'perfect spiritual roots' and 'king of spiritual roots'. The secret techniques recorded in these evil books were worse than garbage in ancient times.

"correct!"

Zhang Yao suddenly remembered.

The three "Ling Yuan Liu Lun" in his hand, including the one he obtained from Taoist Wanhe, were probably circulated from the Jiufu of Tianzhou.

Ancestor Mingyuan has been in Tianzhou for nearly three hundred years, so he might also have some knowledge of these evil books.

Zhang Yao thought of this, and immediately went to find Ancestor Ming Yuan.

"Qingxu!"

After Ancestor Ming Yuan got the message from him, he first handled the screening work in his hands and hurriedly drove the escape light.

"It turns out it's about the "Spiritual Source Theory"..."

After asking some questions, he pondered for a moment and said:

"This matter is actually not a secret in Tianzhou, but one of the well-known strange stories."

"Well known?"

Zhang Yao was startled for a moment, then looked thoughtful.

He has the memory of Liu Cang, the Five Elements Sanshi, but in this memory, he has not heard any strange stories about "Ling Yuan Liu Lun" in the Nine Palaces of Tianzhou.

It is very possible that in the two thousand years since Liu Cang's death, something major happened related to these evil books.

as expected:

Ancestor Ming Yuan's next words cleared up his doubts.

"According to the announcement from the Nine Heavens Alliance, the origin of these "Spiritual Roots Theory" is unknown and is suspected to be from a certain senior sage in the Middle Ages."

"The announcement states that there are a total of twelve different versions of these "Spiritual Origins", and one hundred copies of each version have been printed, so the total number is one thousand two hundred."

"The only difference between each version is the secret method recorded in the end."

Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said again:

"But these twelve secret techniques should all be fake, right?"

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Ancestor Mingyuan shook his head and said:

"To be precise, among the twelve different versions of "The Theory of Spiritual Origins", the ninety-nine copies in each edition are deceptions, but one of them is true!"

"The announcement from the Nine Heavens Alliance stated that there are a total of twelve true scriptures, recording twelve real secret techniques, and the rest are all false secret techniques."

"These "Theories on the Origin of Spirits" have actually been circulating in Tianzhou for at least thousands of years, but not many people have taken them seriously."

"After all, all the sects, aristocratic families, and organizations that have tried to borrow the secret techniques for their plots have all failed. It has long been proven that these secret techniques are all fake."

"At that time, these 1,200 copies of "The Theory of Spiritual Origins" were abandoned like worn-out shoes. However, the material was a bit special, so it was speculated that it might be a joke by a certain sage."

When he said this, he paused and then said slowly:

"About 1,600 years ago, a major event happened that shook Tianzhou!"

"At that time, there was a big force in Xichuan Mansion. It was originally regarded as ordinary among the many Nascent Soul-level powers, but suddenly thirty-five Jindan Daoists were born one after another in just a hundred years, which shocked the entire Tianzhou. !”

"This big force immediately became the focus of the Nine Heavenly Continent's Houses. I don't know how many forces are eyeing them. Even the Nine Heavens Alliance was alerted and secretly sent people to investigate."

"In just a few years, everything inside their door was searched, and the deepest secrets were naturally exposed."

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly and he said:

"It seems that not only did they obtain one of the twelve true scriptures by chance, but for some unknown reason, they actually tried the 'false secret method' recorded in it that has been proven countless times."

"As a result, they got lucky!"

"yes!"

Ancestor Mingyuan sighed with emotion:

"After the news leaked out, the entire Tianzhou went crazy!"

"Although there are many golden elixir monks in the world, more than half of them have heavenly spiritual roots and foreign spiritual roots, but 99% of the monks in the world still have earthly spiritual roots and miscellaneous spiritual roots."

"The secret methods recorded in the twelve editions of "Spiritual Root Theory" are all different. Some are helpful for developing sects and families, some can make up for the spiritual root defects of those strong, and some can use it to cultivate magical powers. The magic method, the combat power has skyrocketed..."

"It is conceivable how much of a stir this news has caused in the Nine Prefectures of Tianzhou and even in the Central Plains countries!"

"The "Spiritual Roots", which was once regarded as useless, suddenly became a hot topic that everyone wanted to fight over. Just to fight for the circulated classics that were unknown whether they were true or false, a commotion started. A catastrophe in the world of immortality..."

Zhang Yao's eyes flickered and he asked:

"What happened next?"

"later……"

Ancestor Mingyuan smiled and spread his hands:

"It's not the same as before. This kind of nonsense will eventually have to be resolved by the Nine Heavens Alliance."

"The Nine Heavens Alliance issued an announcement, explained the whole story in detail, and implemented a series of powerful measures to finally stop the fighting."

"After that catastrophe, the Nine Heavens Alliance issued a decree. Once someone obtains one of the twelve true scriptures, they must turn it in. Of course, the Nine Heavens Alliance will also give a huge reward."

"If the Nine Heavens Alliance detects someone secretly using the secret method in the Twelve Scriptures, then there will be no need to say more about the consequences."

"After more than a thousand years, this incident has just passed away and has become one of the strange stories. Now, there are already seven of the twelve canons officially included in the Nine Heavens Alliance, and there are still five books missing."

"I see……"

Zhang Yao nodded slightly and said:

“It turns out that there is such a story behind the Theory of Spiritual Roots.”

"Thank you also, fellow Taoist, for clearing up the confusion."

"Why are you so polite to me?"

Ancestor Ming Yuan laughed and said:

"Actually, the twelve versions of the fake secret method have long been common knowledge in Tianzhou."

"I don't know how many monks there are in the Jiufu. They are thinking that one day they will get a true book by chance and dedicate it to the Nine Heavens Alliance so that they can soar into the sky."

"Unfortunately, if you don't open this thing yourself, you have no way of knowing what's inside, so you can only try your luck."

As he spoke, he casually took out a blank jade slip, inserted a spiritual thought to complete the burning, and threw it to Zhang Yao:

"No, here you go."

"Inside this jade slip are the contents of twelve false secrets."

"You are so connected to the "Spiritual Source Theory", maybe one day you will get a copy of the true scripture by chance? That would be really prosperous!"

"The Nine Heavens Alliance's generosity of rewards is unparalleled in the world. It is said that the treasures in their treasury are more numerous than those in the Dragon King's Palace outside the sea..."

Zhang Yao also smiled, took the jade slip and put it away, ready to take a closer look at it sometime.

And at this moment:

"Um?"

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, revealing a faint smile:

"Sure enough, it was the Jindan monk from Dali who came first."

Among the remaining three powerful countries in the southwest, Dali is the closest to Damo, followed by Dacang, and Dayu, east of the Fubo Sea, is the farthest.

"Let me tell you, these Jindan monks are all smart people. They must come to pay homage to the Stove Lord before they dare to start a gang."

Ancestor Ming Yuan laughed, but then he was startled, showing a look of surprise.

His spiritual sense was not as good as Zhang Yao's, but he was able to capture three very familiar auras among the seven rays of light that flew far away!

"My disciples are indeed still alive. I didn't expect them to be in the southwest!"

"This is really great news!"

Ancestor Ming Yuan smiled with a smile on his face and said continuously:

"I'll go out and take a look first."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly took control of the escape light and went to greet his disciple.

"Master!!"

Outside the headquarters of the Seven Sects Alliance, Master Black Abyss recognized his master's escape light at a glance, and he suddenly became excited:

"Master, I finally see you again!"

"Good disciple..."

The two sides were approaching each other quickly. After a long separation, the master and apprentice naturally had a conversation and were filled with emotion.

While the master and apprentice were communicating, the others were waiting aside in tacit understanding. Only the ancestor of Jiuhua and Chen Xianhe of the Heigu Chen family could interject a few words or respond to questions from time to time.

It wasn't until Ancestor Ming Yuan realized that something was wrong that he showed a hint of apology and said:

"Are you all the Jindan monks from Dali?"

"My master and apprentice are reunited. I really can't help myself. I have troubled you all to wait for a long time."

"Don't dare..."

Ancestor Zhenyang, Dugu Yan and others naturally did not dare to say anything and kept their posture very low.

Even though the Ancestor Ming Yuan in front of him is not as powerful and invincible as Ancestor Qingxu in the southwest, he is still a solid golden elixir, and his strength is far beyond what they can match.

"Let's go."

Ancestor Ming Yuan chuckled, stretched out his hand and gestured:

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu, we are waiting for you in the hall."
