I'm a magnetic field madman

But it wasn't an island; it was a colossal palace, so enormous that even Bai Wujie was somewhat astonished.

Its sheer size and scale are like a palace crammed onto the site of a large city.

Based on the size and proportions of this "palace," it's estimated that only a giant nearly 100 meters tall could "live" in such a place.

Bai Wujie descended from the giant hall, but the thousands of steps leading to the front were of a scale that ordinary people could climb.

The enormous, towering palace, so wide it seemed to stretch endlessly, and with its long, winding staircase resembling a thousand steps leading up a mountain, only served to make it appear even more magnificent.

Bai Wujie began to slowly climb the steps. It wasn't that he didn't want to use the Boundless Passage technique, but as he approached the palace, the "magnetic field" was gradually disturbed.

Or rather, the operating rules of the magnetic field began to change in this region, though Bai Wujie couldn't quite put his finger on what kind of change it was...

However, it is certain that the operation of techniques involving magnetic field rotation will also be disrupted here.

After climbing these steps, a giant gate about ninety meters high comes into view, and at the entrance there is a huge stone about thirty meters high, with the three characters "Temple of the God of War" carved on it.

The enormous door, the abnormal proportions, and the strange magnetic field... Bai Wujie became more and more certain that this thing was definitely not a native product of this world.

With a sense of adventure, he stepped into the main hall.

The space inside the hall was several times larger than it appeared from the outside, making Bai Wujie feel like a tiny person who had mistakenly entered a land of giants.

The walls at the front and to the left and right of the grand hall were at least 150 meters away from him, making him feel as insignificant as an ant.

On the massive wall facing the main entrance, a line of large seal script was carved from top to bottom, running straight down from the roof of the hall, with a distance of at least thirty feet between the beginning and end. Each character was about ten feet square, forming a line of large characters...

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."

The buildings did not belong to this world, yet they contained the language and speech of this world, even in line with this era. All of this made Bai Wujie increasingly cautious... and also more excited.

The colossal hall was bathed in a soft, bluish light, which contrasted beautifully with the red light filtering through the exit. Bai Wujie looked up at the ceiling, more than two hundred meters above the ground, where a circular object, two zhang in diameter, was embedded in its center. It emitted a bluish-yellow light, like an indoor sun, bathing the entire hall in a myriad 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 massive hall was devoid of any pillars or objects. In the center of the hall, there was a relief sculpture about two zhang square... On each of the left and right walls, there were also twenty-four relief sculptures, each about one zhang square, plus the one in the center of the hall. That made a total of forty-nine.

The bas-relief on the floor in the center of the hall is exquisitely carved, depicting a god wearing strange armor and a mask covering his face, with a monster that is neither a dragon nor a monster sitting between him. The god flies down from the upper left corner through nine split thick clouds and rushes straight towards a large blood-red fireball in the lower right corner.

Beside each thick cloud, the inscription reads from top to bottom: Nine Heavens, Eight Heavens, down to the lowest Heaven. Above the relief are five large characters: "War God's Catalogue, Volume One"...

Yes, this is the so-called War God Catalogue! Forty-nine reliefs, forty-nine illustrations, recording forty-nine chapters of the War God Catalogue!

Looking at this bizarre scene, he remained silent for a long time, pondering deeply before finally letting out a deep breath and cursing...

"Damn it, I don't understand this either!!"

49. War God Catalogue

Although Bai Wujie had prepared himself mentally before coming here, he still couldn't help but curse after actually seeing the War God's Manual.

Damn it! This is utter nonsense! Absolutely nonsensical!!

Bai Wujie really hates this kind of behavior that doesn't speak human language. A manual can explain something in one sentence, but instead they make it sound like something in a dozen roundabout ways, and the worst part is that they use some kind of language that you can't understand at all to record it!

That's how the Longevity Technique works. Its original name is "Innate Qiankun Technique," but because it uses oracle bone script and a bunch of other scripts for annotation, the name has been mispronounced.

That's fine, at least it's still written text, so there's still a possibility of deciphering it, isn't there?

But look at this God of War catalog, damn it, they're not even going to use any words, they're just letting you tell the story from the pictures!

Hey! You inhuman creatures, I'll scatter you all!!

But Bai Wujie wasn't that impatient. After staring blankly for a while, he changed his approach.

Instead of utilizing the power of the magnetic field, he turned to fully activate the Cihang Sword Manual and the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique.

The internal energy gathers around oneself, while at the same time the spirit begins to slowly and firmly spread. The reaction begins the moment it comes into contact with the outside world, or rather, the moment it comes into contact with the relief!

The moment Bai Wujie's spirit came into contact with the carved words "Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs," an immense will instantly crashed into Bai Wujie's spirit, causing him to instinctively feel an urge to kneel down!

But he suppressed the urge and instead aggressively expanded his mind to perceive the character. At the same time, a large amount of "information" flooded into Bai Wujie's mind.

"So that's how it is..." Bai Wujie murmured.

"I gradually came to understand everything!"

The words, the reliefs—their outward meaning is unimportant. How the words are interpreted, how they are explained, and who said them are all irrelevant.

Even if you carve a rhyme on it, it won't affect its inherent meaning. Approach the content with your spirit... and the spiritual imprint it contains will reward you with the knowledge you need!

The principle is similar to Bai Wujie's "spiritual infusion fist" when he fought Kou Zhong, only it is more profound and more stable.

It doesn't contain any martial arts manual; rather, the information obtained by spiritually engaging with its contents is closer to—

"Physics formulas?" Bai Wujie asked in a somewhat strange tone.

Yes, first there was a dragon, then a palace, then some kind of war god relief, and the contents of this war god illustration were actually formulas?

At the very least, the first wave of information transmitted from the character that Bai Wujie came into contact with was a special formula, a profound formula explaining a physical constant. But it only had the appearance of a formula, without any profound content.

It seems that if this thing really is a book, then this floating text is the "general outline".

Bai Wujie felt there was still more to explore... but he didn't just focus on the general outline and started moving towards the first picture.

Sure enough, as his spirit immersed itself in that first relief, a profound truth and a profound principle began to resonate in his mind...

However, this complex knowledge was analyzed into vocabulary and knowledge that Bai Wujie could understand in a very easy-to-understand way.

"The Tai Chi of Heaven and Earth..."

He murmured the name, using the so-called name of a martial art as a basis, but what was transmitted was a profound knowledge...

It revealed to Bai Wujie the energy essence of the so-called "Lightning Universe," namely, the non-physical energy generated between the movement of all things in heaven and earth... how it is utilized, how it is absorbed, and how it is released.

However, based on the knowledge of people in this era, it can be simply analyzed as the essence of all things in heaven and earth, the energy of the combination of matter and matter, spirit and spirit, reaching a state of mutual exchange of yin and yang, endless circulation, and inexhaustible potential.

This knowledge is undoubtedly very similar to the Innate Qiankun Technique in Bai Wujie's hands; in fact, it can be said that the two are no different in principle.

Bai Wujie absorbed, learned, and perceived this truth, analyzing the knowledge of the origin of the universe. What is the difference between formulas and secret manuals?

He absorbed, perceived, and learned. But after finishing one relief, he set off for another.

Wandering in the ocean of knowledge, dissecting the truth of the universe... Bai Wujie's spirit seemed to be completely immersed in this illusory dream.

But... almost the next moment, alarm bells rang in Bai Wujie's mind, and without hesitation, he slapped his own chest with his backhand!

puff! !

He spat out a mouthful of sweet blood, and the blood flowed not only from his mouth, but also from his nose and ears.

Bai Wujie's breathing became heavy. He stopped looking at the relief above his head... because he realized that it was a treasure, but also a trap!

For ordinary people in this world, understanding the meaning of a relief sculpture might be enough for them to develop martial arts that can shatter the void.

Bai Wujie is different. His perspective is far superior to that of people in this backward era, and the viewpoint of those with strong magnetic fields is far more expansive than theirs.

This resulted in Bai Wujie having an extremely high efficiency in receiving the contents of this War God's Manual!

However, his physical body is still limited to the level of 50,000 horsepower.

The knowledge and content mentioned above, those "truths" of the universe, have exceeded his capacity to absorb them!

Bai Wujie rushed out of the main hall and came to an open space on the outer island. He took a deep breath and began to circulate the Innate Qiankun Technique from his memory without hesitation.

Just as he expected, even without studying it in depth, he still managed to operate it smoothly!

All matter within a kilometer radius began to surge towards Bai Wujie... Whether it was flowers, trees, or rocks, their "essence" began to flow in... At the same time, the spirit released by Bai Wujie gradually merged with it.

A black and white yin-yang symbol appeared in front of him, and then gradually formed a similar symbol above his head.

But that wasn't a battle mark; it was simply a state where the spirit and body began to gradually separate and merge.

Black represents spirit, white represents essence; spirit is released outward while essence is absorbed from matter. The body is recovering at an extremely fast speed, and what's even more terrifying is that Bai Wujie can feel his cells gradually being "replenished."

This is an indescribable feeling, like a part of the body that has been under a long-term burden is slowly "recovering"...

"You are the first person I know who can meet this requirement with 50,000 horsepower."

Suddenly, the powerful voice rang in his ears. Bai Wujie took a deep breath, put away the Yin-Yang fish, and frowned...

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know how those with strong magnetic fields can achieve immortality?" the powerful being asked quietly.

"The first condition is to learn how to absorb the 'life' of other people's cells to replenish the losses caused by the rotation of one's own cells due to the magnetic field."

The second condition is to satisfy the perception and confirmation of the existence of one's primordial spirit, making the heart and brain no longer necessary organs, with it at the core. Only by fulfilling these conditions can one maintain their true self within the cycle of reincarnation.

"And if you achieve all of these, congratulations, you have grasped the path to the 'ultimate'."

"I don't understand what you're saying!" Bai Wujie frowned.

"But what is the origin of this War God's Manual? Such a thing shouldn't exist in such a weak world!"

"When did I say this world was weak?" the powerful being chuckled.

"No, this world is never weak. There are more troubles outside the universe than you can imagine, and most obviously, I have no idea what's behind that door to the shattered void."

"But without exception, most of them point to some extremely terrifying worlds. Don't assume that the world with the magnetic field madman is the worst world... and the so-called War God's Manual is actually some knowledge left behind by a broken one who came from behind the door."

Bai Wujie was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed...

"So, does that mean I'm very lucky?"

"You're overthinking it. Most of the things on there are limited to this world," the powerful figure said mercilessly.

"Only some of these principles can be applied freely in other worlds, like the one you're using now. And if you learn too much, don't forget to repeat your past mistakes."

Bai Wujie's face darkened. What the powerful figure said was certainly not pleasing, but perhaps he was right.

Well, he can stay in the Temple of War for at least two more months... During this time, he can slowly sift through the valuable knowledge in the War God's Catalogue.

"But then again, you really gave me a huge surprise," the powerful figure laughed.

"Fifty thousand power points to get an admission ticket? I've never seen anything like it before. Sending you to another world really makes me happy!"

"As a reward, I will give you a set of martial arts created by my friend. However, it is probably too early for you to use them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of knowledge and information suddenly appeared in Bai Wujie's mind.

His mind went blank for a moment, and before he could even open his mouth to curse, he was involuntarily drawn to this knowledge.

This is because it might be the kind of exquisite and bold theory that Bai Wujie has ever seen, comparable to the Bodhidharma Sutra and the Imperial Scripture.

"This 'Dark Sky' technique was created by my friend... It's just a pity that if you want to use it, you'll need at least 500,000 units of power," the powerful figure laughed.

"Actually, this isn't really a reward for you. You also know the Asura Path... and you've learned the technique of absorbing life force from the martial arts of this world. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before you deduce similar moves."

Bai Wujie did not answer, but was simply immersed in the wonder of this technique.

Of course, he ignored what the powerful figure said, but he still kept some interesting information in mind.

Although the Dark Sky technique's rationale and key objective are completely opposite, for some reason, Bai Wujie felt...

This is extremely similar to the Asura Technique!

50. Little Goldfish

Luoyang, where a former manor of the Dugu family once stood, has become the temporary center for the Heavenly Kingdom to handle government affairs. And it is here that Xu Ziling is dealing with one troublesome matter after another.

"Commander, another three thousand refugees poured in from Luokou yesterday. If this continues, our food reserves will soon be insufficient."

Inside the temporary government affairs hall, Wang Shichong brought Xu Ziling another piece of bad news.

"So what do you mean?" Xu Ziling asked, rubbing his temples, with a mixture of helplessness and resignation...

"Expel these refugees!" Wang Shichong replied decisively.

This is the dilemma they face. Today, the Kingdom of Heaven is the only orderly place in the entire Central Plains. The region with Luoyang and the Jianghuai area as its structure is the only place where the people of the Central Plains can live normally.

As for other places, they had almost all become Yang Guang's hunting grounds.

After he captured Chang'an that day, he gave everyone in Chang'an and Guanzhong three days. Once those three days were up, Yang Guang immediately fulfilled his promise.

Leading those terrifying Heavenly Crystal Sword Slaves, Yang Guang began a ruthless and unrestrained slaughter game.

Those who thought they could hide in the deep mountains or in remote places to escape the pursuit were simply no match for the mad Yang Guang...

Yang Guang, who disregarded all costs in order to fulfill his initial promise, was undoubtedly extremely mad.

To drive out a group of civilians hiding in the mountains, he would not hesitate to start an uncontrollable fire in the forest.

He took pleasure in killing and found relaxation in destruction, just as he said. Now that he had lost the empire, and you all wanted to seize it, then Yang Guang would naturally have no more scruples.
