"The Heavenly Book is in hand!"

The three fox spirits excitedly surrounded the celestial book inscribed with the four characters "Ruyi Baoce" (meaning "Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Book").

The old fox woman quickly browsed through the spells recorded on it.

"Scattering beans to create soldiers, indestructible, summoning wind and rain, capturing dragons and tigers, flying and escaping, five ghosts carrying wealth..."

The more she read, the brighter her fox-like eyes became.

Although she was a little demon who had transformed into human form, she did not know any magic. Now that she had obtained this treasure, she felt as if she had been given wings. From now on, she could truly be regarded as a fairy and enjoy all the riches and honors of the human world.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand and muttered something to herself.

"Huh~"

A gust of wind swept by.

"Gah gah gah, this is what it means to summon wind and rain."

The old fox laughed triumphantly, as if all the riches and glory she desired had been delivered right before her eyes.

The fox girl also joined in reading the celestial book, but compared to the old woman who was more human-like, she was ultimately a bit inferior. She had to read the contents of the celestial book carefully several times before she could barely learn it. She couldn't do what the old woman could do, quickly grasping the basics after just a glance or two. But in the end, she was still able to learn it.

She parted her red lips slightly and blew out a faint breeze. The branches swayed from side to side, and her skirt fluttered, but nothing else changed.

But a smile appeared on her face, knowing that she would eventually have the chance to learn magic.

The fox spirit hopped from left to right and then from right to left, scratching the back of her head.

It was indeed a book written in the dark; he couldn't understand a single thing about it.

And my head is so itchy, I feel like my brain is growing out.

"Am I going to learn how to have three heads and six arms?"

"Snapped!"

The old fox slapped him on the back of the head and said disdainfully, "If you can't learn it, get lost. Don't scratch yourself like it's snowing."

The kidnapper fox spirit was slapped away, cursing but not daring to make any real move.

Now that he's missing a leg, he needs the two of them to take care of him. And unlike the other two fox spirits, he's not interested in becoming an immortal; he's only interested in eating chicken butts every day.

After rolling twice on the ground, the cripple used his hands to support himself as he got up.

"This isn't over until I get a few more chickens!"

He had just looked up when he saw a pair of legs standing in front of him. His gaze slowly moved upwards, and he realized that it was a face that he knew all too well.

Tan Wenjie of the mortuary!

This person is quite wealthy. With just a little scheming, I can easily control him, and a sumptuous meal will certainly be a must.

After all, she was a fox spirit. His eyes darted around, and a plan immediately came to mind.

"Brother-in-law, you've finally arrived!"

Tan Wenjie raised his hand and grabbed his neck, lifting him up slightly. The crutch immediately transformed back into a three-legged fox.

With a slight exertion of his right hand, the cripple's head snapped to the side and he died instantly, without the slightest delay.

Soul power and ordinary essence entered the lotus tree behind Tan Wenjie, like ripples reflected in a lake, and vanished in an instant.

The corpse was burned completely by the Samadhi Fire.

After everything was over, Tan Wenjie transformed into a crutch. He opened his arms and looked at his clothes, then grabbed his head haphazardly before hopping back to the other two fox spirits.

At this time, the two fox spirits made rapid progress and had already learned several spells. However, the power of these spells was mediocre, and with their magical abilities and understanding of spells, they only remained at the most superficial level.

"I want to learn the Heavenly Book too!" Tan Wenjie exclaimed.

He had been observing the fox spirits for a while, and now he got straight to the point. The two fox spirits not only did not suspect him, but impatiently threw the celestial book into his arms.

"Look carefully, don't tear it!"

The two fox spirits were completely focused on practicing their magic and had no time for anything else.

Tan Wenjie, disguised as a cripple, took the "Ruyi Treasure Book" and quickly flipped through it.

[Have you studied the "Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Book" and its first method, "Calling Wind and Rain"?]

Learning the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Book requires a Water/Wind aptitude of 10.

Learning requires 1 experience points.

【The Ruyi Treasure Book, a legendary celestial book containing 108 magical arts, was specially carved into the stone wall by Master Yuan to leave a glimmer of hope for the world. Once mastered, one can summon wind and rain, with endless wondrous uses】

"study."

Tan Wenjie was too lazy to even try to understand the characteristics of this spell. It was just 10,000 experience points, which he could recover quickly with his passive ability.

Immediately after he learned it, a second spell appeared.

[Did you study the "Wish-Fulfilling Jewel Book" and its second method, "Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers"?]

"study."

With 10,000 experience points, one can quickly learn a spell. Even if the experience points required to deduce it to its ultimate potential are used up, it's just a matter of killing a few more demons and monsters for Tan Wenjie.

Under these circumstances, he mastered all 108 spells at an almost lightning speed.

"Hehehe, what are you doing?" The fox girl next to her laughed when she saw Tan Wenjie, who had transformed into a crutch, making a hand seal towards the sky.

She didn't believe the other person could really learn magic, especially powerful abilities like summoning wind and rain.

However, the next moment the sky turned pitch black, and the dark clouds seemed to cover our eyes like a large black cloth.

"Crack!"

Thunder and lightning!

"Whoosh!"

But in an instant, a torrential downpour began.

From the dry air to being instantly drenched in sweat, it only took two or three breaths for the fox spirit girl's mocking smile to remain frozen on her face.

Despite her ankles being soaked by the floodwaters, she still felt a dryness in her throat.

Is this still her lazy, good-for-nothing kidnapper brother?

Tan Wenjie withdrew the spell, and... the clouds stopped and the rain ceased!
"It's still far from the Seventy-Two Transformations that Master Yuding taught me, but it can still be considered a top-tier magic."

If an ordinary person could learn the 108 spells mentioned above, they could earn the title of Earth Immortal even in the primordial continent, subduing demons and monsters everywhere, or become the national advisor of a small country and live a carefree life.

What truly enabled Tan Wenjie to make great progress was his ability to apply the 108 spells of the Heavenly Book to other situations, which allowed him to advance his 72 transformations, which had not improved for a long time.

72 Transformations Lv6 (1/47239200): Can freely transform into other objects; Talents "Conceal Aura" (unlocked), "Copper Head and Iron Arms" (unlocked), "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" (unlocked), "Three Heads and Eight Arms" (unlocked), Thousand Transformations (unlocked); HP +4723920, MP +4723920, Stamina +4723920
Tan Wenjie's attributes have once again achieved a major breakthrough.

Life: 5358119/5358119
Mana: 5355595/5355595
Physical strength: 5346658/5346658
He re-unlocked his three heads and eight arms, replacing the two arms temporarily added by the silly girl, thus enhancing his true combat power once again.

In addition, all three attributes have exceeded five million points, which is comparable to that of a true Bodhisattva-level deity.

Meanwhile, the two fox spirits standing to the side felt that the kidnapper's aura had changed drastically, as if he had become a completely different person inside and out.

When they turned their heads and their gaze swept over them, they felt as if they were standing in front of a vast, boundless ocean, with the water parting to both sides, but only a pair of eyes silently watching them from the seabed.

Those eyes were indeed the kidnapper's eyes. But in an instant, all sensations vanished, and the kidnapper reverted to his former self, as if it had all been an illusion.

"You, you just now..." the fox girl stammered, pointing to the sky.

Just now, only the kidnapper used magic. Could it be that he really can summon wind and rain?

But its power was comparable to a natural disaster.

Tan Wenjie ignored the other party and instead looked at his extra spell skills.

"It consumes a lot of energy and is just an ordinary spell, but as long as you keep accumulating mana, its power will undergo a huge change."

With over five million units of magical power, if he were to further enhance his abilities with techniques like Demon Disintegration and Five Elements Golden Body, the resulting effect would likely be truly devastating. Even with the simplest spell of summoning wind and rain, this method would have the same enhancement effect when applied to other spells.

"treasure bowl?"

Tan Wenjie's gaze fell on one of the spells.

This is just a very ordinary transport spell, similar to the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth, a skill he has long since phased out. But the Treasure Basin has one very interesting feature.

First, it's an illusion, making it seem as if they can endlessly replicate things.

The second method is the "transfer method," which involves secretly moving everything that has been thrown into the basin to achieve the effect of "treasure gathering" through "plunder."

This is the effect of ordinary use, but if you are really willing to use good materials to refine it, you can also create a real treasure basin.

Once the skill is mastered to its peak, a "radar" function is added, enabling it to search for similar materials.

Tan Wenjie had also considered forging a real treasure bowl, so that he could simply steal whatever he wanted. He would have all the materials, and the only thing missing would be the unlucky ones he would rob.

“He’s not…!” The old fox, being even more cunning, had already sensed something was wrong from Tan Wenjie’s reaction.

She bowed deeply.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Take your people in."

"You! What an arrogant tone! Do you really think... uh."

Before the two fox spirits could finish speaking, they had already died and collapsed to the ground.

Tan Wenjie removed the kidnapper's disguise, and the gold brick flew out of his hand, automatically circling the corpse once. The flames burned the corpse into ashes, and it disappeared without a trace after a gust of wind.

Now that the Heavenly Book had been obtained through the fox spirit's hands, and he had even mastered it completely, it was no longer important whether the remaining creatures were alive or dead. To be on the safe side, Tan Wenjie chose to destroy the evidence.

"Oh dear, I accidentally got a celestial book from a monster."

He sighed and walked back.

Just then, Dan Sheng lost the Heavenly Book and was in a hurry when he saw Tan Wenjie walking towards him, holding the very Heavenly Book that he had just lost.

He ran forward in surprise.

Egg-born looked up and asked, "Where did you get this heavenly book from?"

Tan Wenjie replied, "I stole this from the vixen."

"I lost this by accident, can you give it back to me?" Dansheng asked.

He actually wanted to take it back directly, but the man in front of him had treated him well, so he shouldn't just take action; he should at least ask if the other party was willing.

Tan Wenjie nodded, tossed the Heavenly Book to Dan Sheng, and said, "Don't throw it away again next time."

Without the slightest hesitation, the person handed over the heavenly book to him. This trust gave Dan Sheng a strong feeling, as if the person in front of him was a true confidant who absolutely believed in him.

"Wait!" Dan Sheng hurriedly said, "You helped me, and I want to help you too."

Tan Wenjie stopped and said, "I want to see your master."

"My master, you mean Master Yuan?" Dansheng asked curiously.

“That’s right, Lord Yuan.”

“Of course, no problem. You can go as long as my master is home, and Danzi is waiting for you there.” Dansheng then asked, “What do you want with my master?”

"Exploring cultivation and alchemy."

“My master happens to like these things, I’ll take you there.”

"it is good."

The two, one big and one small, flew into the sky and headed straight for Yunmeng Mountain.

On the way, Dansheng spoke highly of his master, and after landing, he enthusiastically introduced the scenery around Yunmeng Mountain to Tan Wenjie.

“That incense burner is what my master used when he went to heaven,” Dansheng explained. “When there is smoke, my master has to go back to heaven to report on the situation. He only stays in heaven for a short while each time.”

It's impossible to tell from the conversation that Dan Sheng has any great fantasies about the Heavenly Court; it's as if he's just stating a fact that doesn't interest him at all.

Tan Wenjie nodded, agreeing that being a god in heaven was indeed not as enjoyable as being a living god on earth.

The rules in the heavens are strict, class stratification is severe, and there are different political parties, so working overtime every day has become the norm.

In contrast, in the human world, as long as one knows some minor magic, one can live a life free from worries about food and drink. If one possesses any real skills, wealth and honor in this life are within easy reach.

They are pampered and cared for every day, and are not allowed to suffer the slightest grievance.

Just then, the incense burner stirred, and an old immortal in white robes with red eyebrows and red hair slowly descended on auspicious clouds in front of Tan Wenjie.

Eggman hurriedly greeted, "Master!"

The other person raised their hand, signaling that Shengchen should not speak.

Tan Wenjie: "Lord Yuan?"

Yuan Gong nodded: "Exactly."

Their first meeting was somewhat rushed, but they could sense what the other was thinking from their eyes.

“I’ve heard Dansheng mention you,” Yuan Gong said. “He said you are a kind and loyal person.”

“I’ve also heard Dansheng mention you,” Tan Wenjie said, mimicking the same sentence structure. “He said that in order to pass on the Heavenly Book to future generations, you secretly carved it on the stone wall, and were later punished by the Jade Emperor. From then on, you could only guard the stone wall.”

Egg-born: "..."

How come he doesn't remember saying that?
"I wonder if you've sensed it," Yuan Gong suddenly said, "something's not right in this world."

Tan Wenjie raised his right eyebrow: "That's right, that's what I feel too."

As the abyss's main base, this world is completely devoid of any trace of the abyss, and exudes an eerie atmosphere of harmony. Something must be wrong. However, the fact that Yuan Gong, as a local native, also noticed this surprised Tan Wenjie.

This time, it was Yuan Gong's turn to be surprised.

He said, "That's why I deliberately stole the Heavenly Book, leaving a glimmer of hope for the world."

You've discovered the hidden clue "The Beginning of the Abyss." Cooperating with Yuan Gong might reveal more about the Abyss.

Tan Wenjie cut to the chase and asked, "The Heavenly Court?"

Yuan Gong nodded slightly.

Tan Wenjie: "Then let's storm the Heavenly Court."

Lord Yuan: "?" (End of Chapter)
