Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen Hao, on subduing the demonic dragon." ×N

Han Fei, Zhu Yuyan, Danmei, and Wen Caiting also congratulated Chen Hao.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Chen Hao replied with a smile, "After I subdue the demonic dragon, I can freely pick those rare and exotic herbs by the lake and on the rock walls."

"After everyone has finished studying the 'War God's Record,' you can pick whatever you need."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen Hao!"

Zhu Yuyan immediately thanked her happily.

Zhu Yuyan had already noticed the various rare and exotic plants on the lakeside and rock walls. Among them were not only various medicinal herbs that had been lost to the outside world, but also many ancient herbs that had been around for thousands of years.

When used properly, these medicinal herbs can not only enhance one's cultivation level, but also bring the dead back to life and prolong life.

If she hadn't known about the threat of the demonic dragon nearby, and if she hadn't had to protect the people around her, Zhu Yuyan would have been tempted to pick some.

"Thank you, Brother Chenhao!" Han Fei, standing beside him, also thanked Chenhao, saying, "I was just about to begin my cultivation. With these aged medicinal herbs, I will have a lot of time and energy saved."

"Oh?!" Chen Hao looked at Han Fei in surprise: "I didn't expect that you, Han Fei, are also preparing to start cultivating."

"Heh!" Han Fei chuckled self-deprecatingly. "My thoughts and writings have already been completed by the me of this world, so why should I go through that process again?"

"I'd rather use this time and energy to improve my own abilities so that I'll have the strength to protect myself and those around me during future changes in the world."

Since arriving in this world, Han Fei has seen and thought a lot these past two days.

Although he still harbors some attachment to the continuation of the Korean state, Han Fei is now able to view the matter rationally.

“It’s good to start cultivating!” Chen Hao nodded and said with a smile, “The world after the fusion will inevitably be an era of cultivators. If you don’t have cultivation, it will be very difficult for you to go out and explore.”

Then Chen Hao looked at Ying Zheng and continued:

"If possible, Young Master Shang, you shouldn't miss this opportunity to improve your strength."

"Yes, I will!" Ying Zheng nodded with an air of elegance.

...

After discussing for a while, everyone eagerly entered the main hall.

Upon entering the hall, everyone was instantly overwhelmed by the vast and high space.

The walls of the palace were more than forty feet apart, and I felt as insignificant as an ant.

On the giant wall opposite the entrance, a line of large seal script is carved straight down from the top of the hall. Each character is about ten feet square, and the beginning and end are at least thirty feet apart. It reads: Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs.

At the center of the more than forty-foot-long roof, there is a circular object with a diameter of one or two feet, which emits a bluish-yellow light, like a sun, bathing the entire giant hall in thousands of bluish rays.

Centered on this light source, a large circle with a diameter of twenty feet was drawn on the roof of the palace, just like the star map at the entrance of the secret passage, only several times larger, covering the giant palace under countless stars.

The grand hall had no pillars or objects in sight. In the center of the hall, there was a relief about two zhang square, and on each of the left and right walls, there were twenty-four reliefs about one zhang square.

Including the reliefs in the center of the hall, there are exactly forty-nine images.

The bas-relief on the floor in the center of the hall is exquisitely carved. It depicts a god wearing strange armor and a mask covering his face, with a monster that is neither a dragon nor a monster sitting on his hind legs. The god flies down from the upper left corner through nine thick, split clouds and rushes straight towards a large, blood-red fireball in the lower right corner. Next to each thick cloud, the words "Nine Heavens," "Eight Heavens," and so on down to the lowest level, "First Heaven," are written from top to bottom.

Above the relief are five large characters that read "War God Catalogue I".

"This...this is the War God's Manual?!"

After witnessing all this, Zhu Yuyan was deeply shaken, her eyes filled with tears, and her heart was filled with unparalleled shock and emotion.

As locals who grew up listening to the legend of the "War God's Record," the "War God's Record" holds an unparalleled place and holds special place in the hearts of Zhu Yuyan and others.

This kind of feeling is something that Chen Hao and the others simply cannot understand.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!?" Han Fei frowned and asked doubtfully as he looked at the sentence inside the Temple of the God of War, "Mr. Chen Hao, according to you, this Temple of the God of War should have been built in ancient times, right?"

"If that's the case, how did this quote from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching end up here?"

"And this sentence was actually written in the Great Seal script?"

"Isn't this a bit too absurd?"

Upon hearing Han Fei's words, the others, who were immersed in the grandeur and mystery of the Temple of War, also noticed this anomaly. They immediately exchanged glances, revealing strange expressions.

"Haha!" Chen Hao immediately burst into laughter: "It seems everyone has noticed the contradictions within the Temple of War."

However, just when everyone thought Chen Hao would give an explanation, he shrugged and shook his head, saying, "I'm not very clear about this either."

"Perhaps there are other worlds in the upper realm that are similar to this world but have different timelines, which is why there are so many contradictions when this place was built."

"but..."

Chen Hao looked at everyone, then smiled and said, "These are all unimportant things, as long as this [War God's Record] is real."

Chapter 233 Guang Chengzi Shatters the Vajra Here

After looking around the Temple of the God of War, Wanwan asked with some doubt, "Is the [War God's Catalogue] just these forty-nine reliefs? Something seems a little strange about it!"

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!" Sensing Wanwan's doubt, Chen Hao replied with a faint smile, "Although the 'War God's Record' does not contain text or specific cultivation methods, these forty-nine relief illustrations tell us the ultimate principles of martial arts."

"The martial arts principles gleaned from this can be applied to any martial arts technique, whether it be a knife, sword, fist, or even internal energy cultivation method."

"However, if you want to comprehend the profound martial arts principles contained in these reliefs, then you will have to rely on your own comprehension."

After hearing Chen Hao's explanation, Wanwan looked at the reliefs again and immediately perceived the profound truths within them, gaining insight: "So that's how it is!"

"No wonder none of those who have entered the Temple of War God have been able to pass down the complete 'War God's Record'!"

"I never expected it to be for this reason."

"Now I'm starting to believe that this Temple of War was built by people from the Upper Realm!"

Yan Fei stared at the relief sculpture floating in mid-air, her expression incredulous: "A martial arts manual that elucidates the ultimate principles of heaven and earth? That's truly unbelievable!"

Although various schools of thought, such as Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and Confucianism, have their own classics that expound the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, even Yan Fei had never seen a martial arts manual that so directly recorded the ultimate principles of heaven and earth as the "War God's Record".

"To comprehend the profound principles of heaven and earth expounded within, and then integrate them into one's own cultivation method?"

Zi Nu stared blankly at the relief in front of her, muttering to herself, "It really is... a secret technique that is quite unexpected."

"Interesting!" Wei Zhuang, who was usually cold, showed an excited expression after receiving this unexpected answer.

Then he turned to look at Gai Nie not far away and suggested, "Senior brother, why don't we take this rare opportunity to have a competition and see who has a stronger comprehension?"

After hesitating for a moment, Gai Nie chuckled and nodded, "Alright, Xiao Zhuang!"

"Let's see who can glean more martial arts principles from the 'War God's Record'."

Han Fei, standing next to Wei Zhuang, smiled bitterly: "It seems that this time, rescuing me here may not yield any results."

While the War God Manual can help people comprehend the ultimate principles of martial arts, those who comprehend it must also have a certain foundation.

For someone like Han Fei, who has absolutely no martial arts background, to read "The Record of the God of War" is like a primary school student holding a university textbook.

Although I wouldn't say I don't understand anything, compared to others with a foundation in martial arts, Han Fei is at a significant disadvantage.

Wei Zhuang said calmly from the side, "Just do your best!"

"As long as you, Han Fei, comprehend even a little bit here, it will be of unimaginable help to your future cultivation."

While everyone was talking, Chen Hao walked to the left wall and came to the last picture. Apart from "War God's Record Forty-Nine: Shattering the Void", there was nothing else on it.

Turn to the next picture, which reads "The War God's Record Forty-Eight: Return to the Nine Heavens". The War God, who looks like a god, is riding a monster that is neither a dragon nor a monster. He flies upward from the lower right corner, through nine layers of clouds, and flies to the upper left corner, in the opposite direction to the first picture.

Beside the forty-ninth relief, in a dark corner, a figure sat motionless, its back against the wall, cross-legged. Even though Chen Hao was standing next to it, it did not react at all.

Jingni, who had been watching Chen Hao's movements closely, naturally noticed him as well. She immediately walked cautiously to Chen Hao's side and asked softly, "What is this...?"

Sensing Jingni's wariness, Chen Hao shook his head slightly and said softly, "Don't worry! This is merely the golden body left behind in this world by Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor."

"Guang Chengzi?!" Jing Ni looked surprised.

At this moment, Jingni also saw the figure clearly through the blue light in the War God Temple. The figure was dressed as a Taoist priest, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to meditate.

Looking closer, the body was full and plump, with smooth and firm skin, and even exuded a faint fragrance.

If you listen carefully, you can even faintly hear the sound of blood flowing through the body, and the heart seems to be slowly contracting.

Noticing Jing Ni's shock, Chen Hao reminded her, "Focus on his right index finger!"

Following Chen Hao's reminder, Jing Ni looked at the right index finger of this body. She saw that the words "Guang Chengzi proved the Broken Vajra here" were written on the solid ground of the War God Temple, and the right index finger of this body was embedded at the end of the last stroke of the character "here".

Clearly, these characters were left here by Guang Chengzi using his powerful finger strength.

Noticing the commotion, everyone approached and looked at Guang Chengzi's golden statue with astonishment.

"This is actually the golden body of Guang Chengzi?!" Ying Zheng could no longer maintain his composure and revealed a look of shock.

"Shattered Vajra?!" Yan Fei looked puzzled. "What's the difference between Shattered Vajra and Shattered Void?"

Chen Hao responded, "The Shattered Void's soul and body broke through the Heavenly Gate together and ascended, while the Shattered Vajra chose to leave its body behind and only chose to shatter its soul and ascend."

"Why?" Yan Fei frowned, puzzled. "Why would Immortal Master Guang Chengzi choose to leave this world with his soul, while leaving his body in this War God Temple?"

"Shouldn't he have ascended to heaven with both his body and soul?"

"Everyone else can shatter and depart with their body and soul, so why can't the immortal master Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, do the same?"

Taoist practice emphasizes the cultivation of both mind and body, placing great importance on the physical body.

Even if such a method of breaking through the Vajra barrier, similar to ascending to immortality, were presented before them, most cultivators would not choose the lowest method of attaining enlightenment, which is corpse liberation.
