After all, the saying "the sun and moon, the strong and the weak, the yin and yang working together, the world will be ruled by the emperor" has resonated since ancient times. It would be impossible for the two religions not to have had some thoughts about this before their decline.
"Moreover, the Taiyin Emperor attained enlightenment earlier than the Holy Emperor Ancestor. It is said that ancient books record that the Holy Emperor Ancestor once borrowed the Taiyin True Scripture to comprehend it, and later the Holy Emperor also left behind the Taiyang Scripture."
From this perspective, it's hard to say whether the two sects ever exchanged the entire scripture, but it's certain that they definitely exchanged some of the scriptures. The only uncertainty is whether the Taiyin Divine Sect, whose foundation was seized by the Duanmu clan, still retains the Taiyang True Scripture.
"Actually, the Taiyin Taiyang True Scripture is probably the most obtainable imperial scripture in the entire 'Covering the Sky' series!"
Li Wangxian's expression was somewhat complicated. Both emperors were ambitious and did not actually place too much importance on scriptures. They had created various extraordinary manuals and treasures to be passed on to all sides of the human race.
Furthermore, the fact that both scriptures are hailed as the mother scriptures of the human race, and that later human emperors consulted them when creating their imperial scriptures, demonstrates just how widely these two scriptures were circulated.
In ancient times, demons and humans obtained them, as did the old madman, the overlord on the ancient star road, the fairy Qing Shi, and others. Ye Fan also obtained the Sun Scripture in the Big Dipper, and in the starry sky, he obtained a female saint pendant from another star field and several volumes of the Taiyin Scripture. There are countless examples of such acquisitions.
Moreover, Li Wangxian was quite certain that as the mother star of the two human emperors, Ziwei Ancient Star must have been the site where some major sects had obtained one or two volumes of Taiyin or Taiyang True Scripture. Perhaps if all these major sects had gathered together, they could have compiled a complete scripture.
It's impossible to be certain, but what's truly ironic is that the very orthodox tradition of the Sun God religion has lost its scriptures.
What's even more ridiculous is that the descendants of the Human Emperor, who once protected the human race, all met tragic ends. The Taiyin lineage has been completely wiped out, and only Jiang Tingting, who remained in the Big Dipper, is unknown whether she is a descendant of the Human Emperor.
The Sun lineage wasn't much better off. If Li Wangxian hadn't arrived and brought the unexpected, they would have been wiped out by the Golden Crow clan in a decade or so, with only Xiao Tongtong escaping thanks to Ye Fan.
"Now that I've come into this world, I will not tolerate this tragedy. Certain clans and powerful sects should be exterminated!"
Thinking of this, Li Wangxian's tone was extremely cold, but he quickly calmed down. Some things can be kept in mind when one's own strength is insufficient, and there is no need to emphasize them too much, lest they disturb one's mind.
"If possible, we should try to find the follow-up text of the Sun True Scripture. If we really can't find it, we can first enter the Dragon Transformation Realm and then look for it when our cultivation level is higher in the future."
Li Wangxian made his decision; it was time for him to go out and gain experience again, not only to find scriptures, but also to hone his combat skills and seek some fortuitous encounters.
"Well, it's time for Li Shenzhou to make a comeback if he wants to cause trouble for certain major sects and seek the True Scripture of the Sun."
Chapter 43: Is this how you test cultivators?
Li Wangxian had made up his mind and did not waste any more time. After leaving his cultivation cave, he went to find his father and told him about his plan to go out and gain experience.
"Should we go find the True Scripture of the Sun?" Father Li was very perceptive. He had sensed something when Li Wangxian came to him last time to inquire about the whereabouts of the True Scripture. And now it was just as he expected. After all, they cultivated the Taiyin and Taiyang scriptures together. Now they had the True Scripture of the Taiyin, but the True Scripture of the Sun was incomplete, so they naturally had to find a way to retrieve it.
Li Wangxian was slightly taken aback, but not too surprised. After all, he had a "criminal record," so his father and the others would naturally have some guesses. Therefore, he replied very calmly, "Indeed, I have such a plan. I also need to hone my fighting techniques."
"Go! If needed, take the Moon Plate and the Treasure Wheel with you!"
Li's father nodded, showing no intention of objecting. He had already agreed to let his son go out to seek the true scriptures when he was so young last time. This time, his cultivation had greatly improved. If it weren't for the fact that some of the prodigies were more than ten years older than his son, he would be invincible among the younger generation. Moreover, with a sacred weapon protecting him, there was no reason to worry.
"Baolun can stay in the sect to guard the mountain gate. I will take Yuepan with me. Uncle Jiang doesn't need to come along."
Li Wangxian shook his head. With a sacred weapon that could be revived at any time and unleash its sacred power, having another powerful protector would make it no longer a training exercise.
In fact, he carried the Moon Disc to prevent powerful figures like sect leaders from overwhelming him with their higher cultivation levels. He wouldn't usually use it against characters from the first game, and dealing with high-level characters was a form of training.
Upon hearing this, Li's father was taken aback at first, but then acquiesced to his plan without trying to dissuade him, since all the great emperors of the past had followed this path!
A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. No great emperor is protected along the way; rather, he is forged through trials and tribulations, and bloodshed.
Although Li Wangxian's cultivation level is still low, and normally he does need protection to prevent his premature death, given the current environment in the Ziwei cultivation world where saints are nowhere to be found and kings have retired, having a sacred weapon on hand is indeed enough for unforeseen circumstances.
Even Li's mother, who had just come over, had no objection to this, after all, her son had been opinionated and capable since he was a child, and she had long since lost control of him.
Thinking of this, Li's mother looked at Li Wangxian with a hint of resentment, as if to say, "You little ungrateful brat, you're leaving your mother's side again."
Li Wangxian remained calm and unmoved by his mother's gaze. He had long been aware of his mother's occasional eccentricities; ignoring her for a while was fine, but if she clicked with him, she'd be in for a lot of trouble.
After informing Li's father, Li Wangxian did not wait long and immediately went out of the temple to embark on his journey to find the Sun Scripture.
"Besides the Taiyin Divine Sect, is it highly likely that the Ziwei Divine Dynasty also possesses one or two scrolls of the Sun True Scripture?"
Inside the mountain gate, Li Wangxian walked and pondered the information he had obtained from his previous discussions with Jiang Bo and others. The Ziwei Divine Dynasty was located in the central part of the Divine Continent, which was relatively close to the Sun God Sect. Whether it was by chance or by force, it was reasonable for them to obtain one or two volumes of scriptures.
"It's not certain yet, we can try to find out more information first."
Now I can set my sights on the Taiyin Divine Sect. Since this generation's Taiyin Divine Child aspires to the path of emperor, he should have some interest in studying the Sun True Scripture!
Li Wangxian sneered. After all, the saying "Yin and Yang in harmony, and one becomes emperor under heaven" was quite resounding. In his opinion, the Taiyin Divine Child might not necessarily cultivate together, but it was inevitable that he would use it as a reference. Of course, all of this was on the premise that the Taiyin Divine Sect really still had one or two volumes of the Sun True Scripture.
After leaving the mountain gate, Li Wangxian mounted his divine light and flew towards Yangcheng. Midway, his bones crackled and popped, and he transformed into the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
This is not Li Shenzhou's appearance. After all, we are still not far from the mountain gate. In fact, we were somewhat negligent last time. From the Sun Sect to Yang City to Lei City, they all looked the same. Now that Li Shenzhou has reappeared, he naturally cannot leave the same traces of his appearance. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives investigates, his identity may be exposed.
After flying for hundreds of miles, Li Wangxian stopped the divine light and his figure disappeared into the wide mountains and rivers below.
On a lush, tree-lined mountain peak, Li Wangxian appeared. After using his incredibly sharp and powerful divine sense to confirm that no one was watching him from the shadows, he stomped his foot and carved a series of Dao patterns on the ground. With a burst of divine light, he disappeared from the spot as the domain gate opened.
Yangcheng is an ancient city that was once owned by the Sun God Cult, but according to Li Wangxian, it now belongs to the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
From a distance, in a different direction than when the Sun God Cult came, Li Wangxian flew in and entered the city.
The city was bustling with people, as prosperous as ever. Li Wangxian even vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the city seemed quite lively. Had something big happened? Or was there some gossip to hear?
Li Wangxian was puzzled. Although he was not in a hurry, he found the largest restaurant in the city with great interest, wanting to find out some information. After all, if he wanted to take action against the Taiyin Divine Sect, he needed to find out the whereabouts of some people in order to make his move more effective.
Zui Xian Que is a renowned restaurant in the cultivation world. As soon as Li Wangxian sat down, without him even having to ask anything, the cultivators drinking and chatting in the restaurant revealed the information he wanted.
"Have you heard? Princess Yue Shi, the second most beautiful woman in Ziwei, is going to hold her coming-of-age ceremony in the capital soon, and has invited a large number of young prodigies and holy sons to attend."
"I already knew that. This is the biggest topic in the Divine Continent right now. I'm not someone who cultivates in seclusion in the mountains, how could I not know? But do you know which geniuses are participating in the gathering?"
"Is there any need to guess? As long as they're not in seclusion, all the major families, sects, and holy sons of the Divine Continent will give face to the Ziwei Divine Dynasty. Don't the geniuses of the other continents want to catch a glimpse of the second most beautiful woman?"
"Speaking of which, I have heard that the most beautiful woman in the world, Yi Qingwu from the Moon Palace, will also be attending the event to offer her congratulations."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the restaurant were in an uproar. If this were the case, would all ten of the world's most beautiful women be present?
Ah, that's very possible!
Upon realizing this possibility, everyone in the restaurant became restless.
The ten most beautiful women in the world, each one of them is a stunning beauty, with a captivating charm and ethereal grace, a rare sight in thousands of years!
Now I have the chance to see them all in one day, and who can resist the temptation of seeing so many beautiful flowers in one day?
"Anyway, this humble Taoist priest can't hold on any longer!"
After this thought flashed through the minds of many cultivators present, some who hadn't originally planned to join in the fun got up without saying a word, paid their bills, and left in unison.
This left Li Wangxian dumbfounded and indignant. "I haven't even finished gathering all the information, why are they leaving? These people really have no composure whatsoever that a cultivator should have."
"Using this to test cultivators? What respectable cultivator couldn't withstand this kind of test?"
Li Wangxian looked disdainfully at the departing cultivators, got up to pay the bill and leave. It wasn't that he couldn't withstand the test, but rather that he felt there was no better place than the Ziwei Imperial Capital to gather information.
It's estimated that targets like the Taiyin Divine Child will arrive.
Chapter 44 Ziwei Imperial Capital
After leaving Zuixianque, Li Wangxian went straight with the crowd to the Domain Gate Rental Office of Ziwei Divine Dynasty and spent 100 jin of Yuan to buy a spot to Ziwei Imperial Capital.
Because many cultivators were traveling together, the cost of this trip was not high. If there were fewer people, the amount per cultivator would be greater. This is why Li Wangxian almost didn't have enough resources when he spent so much time training before.
After receiving a jade token that resembled a train ticket, Li Wangxian did not hesitate. After spending the night at an inn in the city, he followed the others onto the teleportation array the next day, heading towards the capital of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
As Li Wangxian stepped onto the teleportation array, on the other side, the Sun God Cult, which had been in decline, welcomed two distinguished guests today.
These were two young male cultivators, clad in purple divine armor, both possessing extraordinary cultivation. They stood outside the mountain gate of the Sun God Sect, discussing the arrangements made above with puzzlement.
"I really don't know what's so special about a declining Sun God Cult that would warrant an invitation?"
The man on the left, with a sinister look, was somewhat displeased and couldn't understand what the person above meant.
"Furthermore, the Sun God Cult has never been invited to past celebrations, holy site gatherings, or anything like that. Why is it unusual this time?"
The male cultivator on the right didn't seem to harbor much resentment. After carefully considering what he heard, he came up with a guess.
"I vaguely heard that the current son of the Sun God Cult seems to have reverted to his ancestral bloodline, and his talent is quite amazing. Perhaps that's why the princess specially invited him!"
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever, especially since the Sun God Cult's ability to conceal its activities wasn't exactly brilliant.
Although Li Wangxian had intended to hide his identity since birth, he still revealed quite a few clues. For example, when he underwent a bloodline reversion, he showed many traces. Fortunately, the Sun God Cult had indeed declined and had nothing worth coveting.
Therefore, it did not attract much attention, but some major sects and some well-informed cultivators had vaguely heard that the Sun God Sect had a "genius" named Li Wangxian in this generation.
"A genius? Can anyone compare to prodigies like Lu Ya and the Three Missing Daoist? If so, then our trip from the capital was definitely worthwhile!"
The man with the sinister face said disdainfully, not believing that this so-called divine son could compare to the famous geniuses of Ziwei Ancient Star like Lu Ya.
"Perhaps!"
The man on the right had a calm expression and said nothing, quietly waiting for the disciples of the Sun God Cult to report to the higher-ups.
Not long after, Uncle Jiang appeared and welcomed the two into the sect.
"Is this the Sun God Cult?"
The two men exchanged a glance, both astonished. This mountain gate was so dilapidated. If it weren't for the two powerful figures present, they would have thought they had taken the wrong path and entered some small sect.
Several relatively beautiful mountain peaks, but there are no ancient medicinal gardens or flocks of spirit birds on them, only a very few disciples and a dilapidated main palace.
This is the Sun God Cult now. It makes one wonder if it's a dream. Is this still the first holy site in some ancient period?
"Ah, time! It has buried so much."
The man with the peaceful expression sighed inwardly, and in an instant, many things came to mind. So, is there really no immortal legacy in this world?
Perhaps one day the Ziwei Divine Dynasty will also fall into such ruin, or even perish?
The man with the sinister face was even more displeased, but he didn't show it on his face, after all, they were just envoys of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
Inside the main hall, Li's father, unaware of the two men's thoughts, asked with some doubt, "I wonder what brings the envoy from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty to our sect?"
"Princess Yue Shi will be holding her coming-of-age ceremony soon and intends to invite the holy sons and successors of various religions to a small gathering. I have come to invite your esteemed religion's divine son to a meeting."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li was taken aback, and then explained, "This is really unfortunate. My son went out to gain experience some time ago and is not currently in the teaching group."
Upon hearing this, the man with the sinister face darkened, disbelieving Li's father's reasoning.
"Is Master Li going to refuse the kindness of my Divine Dynasty princess?"
His words were very impolite, but Li's father's expression remained unchanged. He simply stared at the man for a moment and then said, "I did not mean that. It's just that my son is not in the tutelage. It is my son's lack of fortune to be able to see the princess's beauty."
The sinister-looking man's face darkened, and he was about to say something more when he was stopped by the other man's gaze.
"It's alright, Master Li, you're too kind. The princess also instructed us before she came that if the Divine Son is free, he can bring the invitation to visit. If he is not free, the princess can only regret that she cannot meet with the talents of your sect."
"Princess Yue Shi is indeed kind and polite!" Li's father said, deeply moved, praising her earnestly.
The two envoys remained silent, and after leaving the invitations, they departed under the guidance of Jiang Bo.
