I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Xie Yuan stood there, but he could not see anything else in front of him.

There was a roar in his mind, and there was endless white light before his eyes.

I do not know how long it has been.

Xie Yuan saw the white light separate, and the heaven and earth appeared, followed by mountains, rocks, rivers, oceans, and nine suns in the sky.

Gradually, strange animals and plants even stranger than the ones in the sky garden appeared in the forest.

There are giant trees taller than the mountains, and there are birds that block out the sun.

This is a barbaric world ruled by innate spirits.

This world lasted for an unknown amount of time, and gradually more ants appeared on the earth.

Some half-naked ants.

The ancestors of mankind were born and struggled to survive in the wild world.

Those creatures born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not care about this new race at first.

Compared to these innately powerful ones, these little monkeys are too weak.

Even just a breeze they create, the gentle breath they make as they fly by, the slightest shake as they pass by, can spell doom for these little creatures.

In the blink of an eye, this ethnic group gradually grew and multiplied, and their figures could be seen everywhere.

Some innate spirits didn't care, but some got annoyed and started to drive them away or kill them.

Those weak guys tried to resist, but how could they be a match for these powerful creatures?
Large tracts of our ancestors were slaughtered, and many innate spirits that were like gods ruled over thousands of miles of the earth, leaving almost no human habitation.

but.

No matter how the innate spirits tried to drive them away or wipe them out, these weak creatures were indomitable and kept resisting. And after killing one batch, there would always be another batch left, and they could not be completely eliminated.

Gradually, even the innate spirits that coexisted with heaven and earth felt exhausted, and humans were still surviving in the wild land with raging floods and rain of fire.

And, getting stronger and stronger.

At some point, the powerful creatures heard that at the end of the earth, the weakest among them, who could only rule the most marginal areas, was killed by ants.

They were surprised, they were disdainful, they were angry.

Then there was another bloody storm.

But slowly.

More and more innate spirits were killed, and this group of ants, which they did not care about, seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

Especially the most powerful ones among them, gradually became great beings that could rival them.

When the innate spirits began to feel something was wrong, it was already too late.

Looking at those still insignificant figures, their aura was higher than the mountains and reached the sky, making them tremble.

They could not understand why such a tiny body could be as powerful as these ancient gods.

When the last giant tree in the center of the earth that blocked out the sky was cut down by the most powerful human being, the vast innate spiritual energy returned to the world.

With abundant inspiration, hundreds of races are competing to develop, and all things are growing.

The era that belongs to all living things on the earth has arrived.

There are not only humans on earth, but also demons, monsters, ghosts, and countless descendants of gods who have the blood of innate creatures.

And when all living beings looked up at the blue sky which was no longer blocked by giant objects, they found faint words emerging in the sky.

Some creatures don't care, some can't understand, and some are extremely curious and study day and night, such as humans.

The powerful ones read the texts in the sky and gradually gained the upper hand in the era of competition among hundreds of races.

Until humans became the most intelligent creatures and ruled the earth.

The ancient sages respectfully wrote down these heavenly texts that encompassed all the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, engraved them on a stone tablet with great magical power, and then turned them into a golden book for future generations to study more conveniently.

……

When Xie Yuan saw this, it seemed like billions of years had passed, yet it also seemed like just a moment.

When he saw the mighty man inscribing the words, the scene in his mind suddenly changed and turned into the golden book.

The golden book turned pages quickly as if blown by the wind, and countless knowledge and truths flashed in it.

Agriculture, divination, governance, ghosts and gods, immortal arts, martial arts...

Xie Yuan could see clearly and yet not clearly. As the scene changed, he saw the pages that recorded martial arts.

As he looked at those pages of text, a roar like a tsunami suddenly erupted in his mind.

It was as if heavenly music was playing and the truths of heaven and earth were echoing in my mind.

……

Situ Qin felt like she was petrified. Looking at those huge eyes, she felt fear instinctively.

She dared not move, for fear that the slightest movement would attract the attention of those eyes.

Suddenly, she saw the stone slab in front of her emitting golden light, and Xie Yuan beside her trembled all over, as if he had established a connection with the stone slab.

Before he could think, Situ Qin's pupils suddenly shrank, and the eyes in the sky suddenly moved.

The giant eye, which originally had no focus, slowly turned, as if it was about to look towards them.

Situ Qin felt cold all over, and her instinct told her that as long as those eyes turned around, they would surely die.

Just now.

Situ Qin's eyes suddenly changed, becoming indifferent and calm, as if they had experienced a lot of time.

Her aura suddenly became much more mature and mysterious.

After taking a deep look at the giant eye above Qingming, Situ Qin lowered his head.

With a wave of his hand, a cloud of mist floated in, covering the golden stone slab and cutting off Xie Yuan's connection with it.

The giant eye turned halfway and suddenly paused, as if it was confused about having lost its target.

It was quiet for a while, then slowly turned back, closed, and disappeared into the clouds.

……

Xie Yuan was about to see the martial arts in the book clearly, but suddenly he felt the whole world shaking violently. The book became blurry in an instant and seemed to be flying away.

He was startled, feeling extremely reluctant to leave. He opened his eyes wide and looked through those pages of martial arts.

The golden book flew farther and farther, and higher and higher. Xie Yuan knew that time was running out, so he could only grit his teeth and pick a page at random.

For some unknown reason or out of habit, the page Xie Yuan was reading recorded the profound principles of sword.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it was deeply engraved in my heart.

But before he could comprehend more, the golden book had already risen to the sky, and the words inside could no longer be seen clearly.

The scene is constantly changing.

Xie Yuan seemed to vaguely see the fog around him, and through the fog he saw the tall tower that went straight into the blue sky. He seemed to still be in that virtual scene, looking at the golden book in the sky.

The real world and the virtual scene overlapped, and Xie Yuan vaguely saw an extremely powerful figure, a figure that was even more powerful than the innate gods in the wild world, going up to the sky along the high tower and knocking the golden book down.

boom!
A deafening sound was heard, almost like the creation of the world. The golden book was shattered into pieces, and the debris was scattered all over the world, and the world changed drastically.

The most core part of the golden book, the most original stone slab, fell straight down the tower.

Xie Yuan was suddenly startled, opened his eyes, and looked intently, but all he saw was a blank.

There was only endless clouds and mist, even covering the ground beneath our feet.

He looked to the side and saw Situ Qin standing there quietly, looking at him with her lively eyes.

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt that Situ Qin had become much more mature.

Looking at her didn't feel like looking at a lively princess, but rather like looking at the saint lady who made everyone shudder.

But it only lasted for a moment, and the feeling disappeared.

Situ Qin seemed to be shocked, and her beautiful eyes blinked, revealing a little confusion.

Then she looked at Xie Yuan and asked doubtfully:
"Strange, why is there nothing here?"

"There was a slate just now..."

Xie Yuan pointed to the empty space in front of him, but when he thought that Situ Qin didn't seem to have any insight or vision, he shook his head:
"Maybe it's not your thing."

"Eh? Is this such a coincidence?"

Situ Qin kept muttering to herself, looking dissatisfied.

She wanted to ask Xie Yuan what the stone slab was, but she frowned slightly. For some reason, she didn't want to ask in detail, and she didn't want to stay here for long.

"Since there's nothing, shall we just leave?"

Situ Qin asked Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan felt that Situ Qin's attitude changed a little too quickly. She was so excited about the adventure just now, but now she is not interested anymore?
He looked around and suddenly showed a look of surprise:
"The clouds and mist here are actually the purest spiritual energy!"

For some reason, Xie Yuan hadn't noticed it before, but the clouds and mist here were all pure spiritual energy, which he had never seen anywhere else.

Closing my eyes and using my spiritual sense, I found that the surroundings were no longer spots of light, but white mist, an ocean of spiritual energy. "The spiritual energy here is so abundant that I can see it with my eyes, just like my spiritual sense! Even the fairyland in the sky is no more than this! If we practice here, I'm afraid our progress will be enough to truly make great strides! Well, even after staying here for a while, I feel that the spiritual energy in my body has become more abundant!"

Xie Yuan said excitedly.

However, Situ Qin just frowned slightly, glanced around, and shook his head:
"But this place is too strange. We dare not meditate and practice asceticism here."

Xie Yuan thought so too. The amount of spiritual energy here was beyond his comprehension. In today's world where the world has changed drastically and spiritual energy is depleted, how could a secret place have such abundant spiritual energy? Unless it really leads directly to the immortal world.

He looked up but could not see anything, and wondered if this Tower of Babel could really reach the sky.

After taking a last reluctant look at the clouds, Xie Yuan and Situ Qin walked to the lonely door floating in the clouds, opened it, and walked out.

As the two walked out and closed the door, the clouds and mist here floated, gradually covering the door, and then disappeared into a vast expanse of white.

Xie Yuan and Situ Qin walked to the pavilion in the center of the terrace.

Situ Qin sighed:

"This fairy flower has a lot of benefits. My spiritual energy is growing now. I feel that my cultivation will be able to make a big breakthrough after I return. Hey, it was you who insisted on giving me the flower. It's actually quite nice to give it to you."

Xie Yuan laughed and said:

"I have gained a lot, and even next to the fairy flower, it seems that my spiritual power has increased a little..."

He exclaimed in a low voice, feeling that his skills had improved slightly in just a short while, which was truly incredible.

The two chatted as they walked here. After turning around and looking at the clouds around them, there was no trace of the Tower of Babel, but the two did not notice anything unusual.

"That's enough, let's go out."

"Ah."

The two of them went down the mountain level by level along the passage of the Sky Garden.

During this time, most people naturally did not dare to provoke the two, no matter if they had seen the battle or just sensed their aura.

But there were also some who were not sharp enough or were just too daring and wanted to attack the two men secretly, but they only added fertilizer to the strange plants in the garden.

Not until they walked out of the gate, and then, under the guidance of the Lama of the Vajra Temple, followed the route that best allowed them to admire the grandeur of the Vajra Temple, did they set foot on the land of the Golden City unimpeded.

"This Mahavira Temple is quite rule-abiding."

Situ Qin said with a smile.

They had many treasures from the upper levels of the Sky Garden on them, but they were not in any trouble or ambushed.

Xie Yuan nodded and said:
"They have always been very trustworthy over the years, otherwise so many powerful people would not trust them so much and enter their secret realm."

If the Great Vajra Temple had a bad record, Xie Yuan would not have come.

Although located in the Western Regions, the Great Vajra Temple is not an evil sect. It just has a different stance and culture from those in the Central Plains.

Many people praised what they did in the Western Region, including the opening of the sky garden.

But those big forces and big countries are very wary, obviously knowing that what the Vajra Temple is seeking is not just short-term benefits.

"That's great. Even I'm a little embarrassed by what I've gained this time."

Situ Qin laughed and said she was very satisfied with this adventure.

The two men plowed almost the entire upper level of the Sky Garden, taking away the most valuable items and now carrying them on their bodies.

Xie Yuan also nodded excitedly. Many of the treasures, whether for his own use or to be brought back to the Xie family to fill the clan treasury, were extremely rare supplements. I'm afraid that Xie Wen, who was in charge of the pharmacy, would widen his eyes.

He looked inward again, then glanced in front of him and suddenly focused.

[Glimpse Sword·Mastery: (1/5000)]

When did I master the Swift Sword?

Xie Yuan suddenly felt it was unbelievable and stood there in a daze for a long time.

Situ Qin walked forward excitedly, feeling that the crowded Golden City along the way was so lovely.

She noticed that Xie Yuan hadn't caught up with her, so she stopped and looked back, curiously asking:

"What's the matter?"

Xie Yuan woke up as if from a dream, thinking to himself that it must be the result of his enlightenment at the Sword Peak? Or was it the result of Wanbing Zhuying?

The Black Book actually jumped two levels...

It seems that I have gained a lot from this competition with the masters.

The power of the mastery-level Fleeting Light Sword is so powerful that any master of the same level would be unable to react or resist!
If he had this level before entering Sky Garden, why would he have to fight so hard against Asin and Mu Bo?
Xie Yuan just felt surprised and didn't think much about it. He took a few quick steps to catch up with Situ Qin, and then disappeared into the crowd with her.

Until the last warrior in the Sky Garden was politely escorted away by the King Kong Temple, the huge and magnificent hillside garden was deserted.

There are no living people.

No matter who it is, the Vajra Temple is always polite and courteous.

However, the lamas turned a blind eye to the huge difference in the number of people coming in and out and the large number of deaths. They were not surprised and just smiled warmly, which made many warriors who had escaped death feel uneasy.

The fat lama slowly walked into the garden gate under the respectful gazes of his disciples.

Ming Wang looked at the sky garden layer by layer. He showed no anger at the destroyed parts and the bare garden. He just nodded continuously:
"The flesh and blood of so many powerful warriors is enough to nourish this place. Although the spiritual plants have been taken away, the land will only become more fertile."

It was not until he walked all the way to the top few floors and looked at the devastation after the battle that he paused for a moment and shook his head.
"Axin and the others are all dead. It looks so tragic. Amitabha! I wonder how much energy from the heavens will be consumed to restore these sculpture fountains."

Ming Wang sighed, and when he reached the top floor, he suddenly froze.

"Where's the fairy flower?"

Looking at the empty pavilion, he said in a lost voice:

"How can anyone see, no, even pick the fairy flower?"

This top floor has never been a place that others can set foot on, not even if Asin and his companions work together.

Dajingang Temple was not worried at all, but when it took a closer look, it found something was wrong.

Ming Wang took a deep breath, closed his eyes and muttered silently for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a huge tower in front of me, with half of its body visible in the clouds. I couldn't tell how high it was at the top and how bottomless it was at the bottom.

Ming Wang flashed to the door with an extremely solemn expression.

He opened the door carefully, and then immediately stepped back, fearing that he would get too close.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it a thin cloud of mist, which was blown away before it reached the Ming King.

There was disbelief in Ming Wang's eyes and his face turned pale in an instant.

After the Sky Garden was closed, there was a slight commotion in the Western Region.

The Great Vajra Temple suddenly caught up with those warriors who were lucky enough to escape, and although they did not confiscate their gains, they interrogated them thoroughly, and Ming Wang personally led the team.

This caused dissatisfaction among many people, but what made the Western Region warriors even more excited was that the Great Vajra Temple announced that the Sky Garden would be closed for ten years.

Many major forces were extremely surprised and even began to put pressure on the Vajra Temple.

They didn't want the Vajra Temple to win over people's hearts by this, but they also didn't want them to lock up the garden and enjoy the benefits alone.

Although the Great Vajra Temple is the leader of martial arts in the Western Regions, it cannot convince everyone to unite.

But this time, they were very tough, saying that someone was breaking the rules and destroying the foundation of the Sky Garden.

Ten years is just the beginning, and it is unknown how long it will take to recover.

The Western Region warriors looked at each other in bewilderment. The Sky Garden had no taboos for so many years. Who could destroy its foundation? I'm afraid it wasn't the refusal of the Great Vajra Temple.

The already delicate situation in the Western Regions was undercurrent. Even though the people from the Great Vajra Temple discovered that Lu Lao San, who had performed so well this time, had died suddenly in the Blue Water Oasis in the Western Desert, they were powerless to continue the investigation.

Heaven and earth.

Fire streaked across the sky, the golden light gradually faded away, and the air returned to its cold state.

The believers who were kneeling on the ground in the city streets stood up one after another and continued to do their own things.

“The visions seem to be becoming more frequent.”

An ordinary-looking woman was walking down the street as if nothing had happened.

She passed by a few places inadvertently, just glanced casually, and then looked away, just like most ordinary believers.

She walked through the alley and returned to her own courtyard.

He checked silently and was about to open the door when the woman paused and turned around abruptly.

An old face covered with thick white powder suddenly appeared in her eyes.

When did it appear?

Looking at the old man in a blue robe, with a white face and no beard, the woman was extremely alert.

The old man gave an ugly smile and said sharply:

"I am here on the orders of the Queen Mother to invite you to the palace for a chat.

"Let's go, Miss Mu."
