Chapter 1301: Three Lives Scripture and Ten Thousand Things Scripture
"Come back!" Below, a roaring shout rolled forth, causing Lin Feng's eyes to freeze. He then descended through the air, landing back within the rolling demonic mist.
Yan Di also stood there, his gaze fixed on the sky, a dazzling light releasing from his eyes.
"Why is this happening?" Lin Feng stared at Yan Di. How could even the heavens be pierced open?
Yan Di's eyes narrowed slightly, then he glanced at Lin Feng. "That beam of light just now—where did it come from?"
"I'm the one asking you!" Lin Feng emphasized, staring at Yan Di.
"You don't need me to tell you. You'll find out soon enough." Qiongqi replied, then said to Lin Feng, "Did you get the Three Lives Scripture?"
Lin Feng stared at Yan Di, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of this old bastard. His figure flickered, landing on the ground, and he took out the page of golden scripture.
"Whoosh!" Yan Di, in his Daoist robe, instantly appeared beside Lin Feng, looking at the golden page in Lin Feng's hand. The seal had been broken. On this golden page, three enormous floating characters were clearly visible: Three Lives Scripture!
"Three Lives Scripture!" A sharp light swirled unceasingly in Lin Feng's eyes. It really was the Three Lives Scripture. He had obtained it.
"Haah..." Letting out a breath, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If he could cultivate the Three Lives Scripture, his body would split into three, and all three could cultivate simultaneously. How terrifying would that be?
"That beam of light just now—you must know something about it, right?" Lin Feng raised his head again, looking at Yan Di, and asked.
"What did you sense?" Yan Di countered.
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp, fixed on Yan Di. Then he opened his mouth and slowly said, "Life fluctuations."
"Life fluctuations!" Yan Di's gaze flickered, his mind racing.
"And..." Lin Feng continued, causing Yan Di's gaze to freeze, staring intently at Lin Feng.
"And, powerful soul fluctuations!" Lin Feng said again. Yan Di let out a long breath. Soul fluctuations... Xi Huang!
Raising his head slightly, Yan Di looked into the void above, where the torn sky had already healed with the storm, and murmured softly, "Xi Huang, who died for the Dao—is he truly dead?"
"What does that mean?" Lin Feng's expression grew sharper and sharper. Xi Huang? Why was Xi Huang involved again? That bastard Yan Di had said that one of his purposes in robbing Xi Huang's tomb was to obtain the Three Lives Scripture. And there actually was a Three Lives Scripture in Xi Huang's tomb.
"Don't ask so many questions. What use would knowing be? I, the Emperor, told you—I got the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, and everything else is yours. Cultivate this Three Lives Scripture well; it's very suitable for you. After you've read it, maybe you can lend it to me for a look. I'll help you review it!" Yan Di said with a faint smile, making Lin Feng curse the old fox inwardly. Review it, indeed!
"Lin Feng, we'll go rest first!" Xinye and Liu Fei stepped forward, smiled at Lin Feng, and wisely left.
Yan Di, meanwhile, soared into the air to repair the broken hole in the formation.
As for Lin Feng, he sat cross-legged, his gaze falling on the Three Lives Scripture. With a thought, his divine sense power invaded the golden page. Instantly, it was as if a terrifying vortex was pulling at his divine sense, drawing it into the Three Lives Scripture. Countless runes began to flash, and lines of characters directly imprinted themselves into Lin Feng's mind, leaping and dancing within his thoughts.
It seemed like a long time passed before Lin Feng's divine sense withdrew from the golden page. His gaze, however, fell into deep contemplation.
"Three Lives Scripture: three lives, not three bodies!" Lin Feng murmured to himself, a voice escaping his lips. He now understood that he had been completely mistaken about the true meaning of the Three Lives Scripture. Three lives did not simply mean three bodies or three physical forms. Not only he, but many people had misunderstood what "three lives" truly meant!
People of the Nine Heavens Continent only knew that the Three Lives Great Emperor cultivated the Three Lives Scripture and possessed three physical bodies—the original body, the Buddha body, and the demon body—which were immensely powerful, spanning heaven and earth. One body splitting into three, three bodies—that was what they called three lives!
"Wrong. It turns out everyone was wrong!" Lin Feng murmured to himself. The Three Lives Great Emperor, with his three bodies—had he truly experienced three lives?
If so, that was terrifying. No wonder the Three Lives Great Emperor was so fearsome, unparalleled through the ages.
"I thought it was the three techniques of human, Buddha, and demon. How wrong I was. There are no Buddha or demon techniques. This Three Lives Scripture itself is a terrifying technique. I'm afraid there are few Emperor Scriptures like it in the entire Nine Heavens Continent!" Lin Feng said to himself. He recalled the ancient scripture that the Three Lives Demon Emperor had passed on to him, which he had always called the Three Lives Demon Scripture. That wasn't it at all. There was no such thing as a Three Lives Demon Scripture. That was merely a powerful ancient scripture cultivated by the Three Lives Great Emperor's demonic body!
"Xinye! Yuexin!" Lin Feng suddenly thought of something, and his body trembled slightly. Then he looked up at the void, his gaze seeming to pierce through the already repaired hole, reaching into the distant sky. Where had that light that tore through heaven and earth gone?
"Pseudo-Emperor!" Lin Feng suddenly called out. Immediately, a gust of wind stirred, and a figure appeared before Lin Feng, grinning at him.
"Little one, do you need I, the Emperor, to help you review it?" Yan Di's smile seemed somewhat out of place with his Daoist robe.
"Three Lives Scripture!" Lin Feng tossed the golden page to Yan Di, who immediately caught it. In an instant, blazing divine sense flames from his brow directly invaded the golden page. Like Lin Feng, runes and characters danced in his mind. However, he woke up much faster than Lin Feng. When his eyes met Lin Feng's, they shot out a sharp light.
"Three Lives Scripture. What a Three Lives Scripture!" Yan Di's eyes held a look of shock. What a terrifying Emperor Scripture.
"The Dao gives birth to one; one gives birth to two; two gives birth to three; three gives birth to all things." Lin Feng also murmured, a smile appearing in his eyes. He exchanged a glance with Yan Di, as if in bitter laughter, or perhaps both were stunned by the terror of the Three Lives Scripture.
"Pseudo-Emperor, are you planning to cultivate it?" Lin Feng asked.
"No need. I'd rather spend my time playing with fire. It suits me better!" Yan Di said with a smile, tossing the golden page back to Lin Feng, and asked, "And you?"
"With such a powerful Emperor Scripture, how could I not cultivate it?" Lin Feng said with a smile, causing Yan Di's eyes to suddenly freeze. "You want to cultivate the Three Lives Scripture?"
"Even if I don't cultivate the three lives, the Emperor Scripture has too many valuable aspects. I can cultivate them all," Lin Feng said with a smile. The Three Lives Scripture was a path to enlightenment.
Yan Di's brow furrowed at first, then seemed to realize something, and his brow relaxed. He looked at Lin Feng with interest and smiled, "I am quite looking forward to you cultivating the Three Lives Scripture. The Three Lives Great Emperor had some mishaps while cultivating it. Perhaps you might do better than him!"
"The Three Lives Great Emperor had mishaps while cultivating the Three Lives Scripture?" Lin Feng's eyes froze, looking at the smile in Qiongqi's eyes. He always felt that this old bastard had too many secrets. And this undying old bastard just wouldn't let any secrets slip from his mouth.
"First, you need to cultivate your soul properly!" Yan Di smiled, seeming somewhat gloating, then his figure flickered and he left the area.
Watching Yan Di's retreating figure, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "I forgot to tell you, you bastard—I've just happened to cultivate the Remnant Soul Heaven Art. The pain of soul splitting, I've long been accustomed to it!"
Yan Di's figure disappeared from sight. Lin Feng did not immediately cultivate the Three Lives Scripture. Instead, with a thought, another golden page appeared in his hand, dazzling and brilliant. It was made of the same material as the page recording the Three Lives Scripture. What terrifying treasure it must be to seal an Emperor Scripture. Clearly, it was something extremely fearsome.
"It seems to have a seal as well, but obviously not as strong as the previous one!" Lin Feng's palm trembled violently, and a cracking sound was heard. The seal shattered. On the golden page, several large characters floated, identical to those on the other page.
"Ancient Scripture!" Lin Feng's eyes focused. Two ancient scriptures, carved by the same person!
"Ten Thousand Things Scripture!" Lin Feng looked at the large characters, his heart quite shaken. The Ten Thousand Things Scripture—this scripture was named after all things. Did it mean all things in heaven and earth?
With a thought, Lin Feng's divine sense invaded this ancient scripture. Instantly, as before, runes, characters, and scenes drifted into his mind!
