Chapter 273: Defy fate and change destiny?
When Yu Huasheng heard Feng Quan's question, obvious confusion flashed across his face. Which one?
This... is there any other choice?
Shouldn't that be all?
Anyway, Yu Huasheng remembered that after he passed the trial, he didn't have any room for choice, and those treasures came to him on their own initiative.
"How many? Probably... all of them?"
Yu Huasheng said in an uncertain tone.
The main thing is that he didn't know whether the treasures of the underworld that he contracted after passing the trial were all he wanted. What if... there were more?
Fengquan was stunned for a moment, then reacted with a look of surprise in his eyes.
What the Palace Master meant was...he had contracted all the treasures of the underworld?!
"Um... Master Yu, can you tell me how many treasures of the underworld you have contracted?"
Feng Quan tried hard to calm his inner restlessness, and then asked Yu Huasheng with anticipation.
"Probably... six items? One of them seems difficult to use..." Yu Huasheng glanced at Feng Quan who was looking expectant, and did not think of hiding it. He told Feng Quan the truth about how many treasures of the underworld he had contracted.
"Is that difficult-to-use treasure called the Naihe Bridge?"
Fengquan asked.
"Yes, that's the name." Yu Huasheng nodded.
"Congratulations, Lord Yu. I never thought Lord Yu had such incredible talent that he actually contracted so many treasures from the underworld. If those guys knew about this, they would probably shut up."
A look of joy appeared on Fengquan's face. He would never have dared to imagine that Yu Huasheng could contract six treasures from the underworld before.
But now this dreamlike situation has been achieved by Yu Huasheng. The current master of the mansion is really a monster!
Fortunately, he became the lord of the underworld!
At the same time, Fengquan couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart that now those old stubborn people would have nothing to say.
"How's Yu Huasheng feeling? Is everything going well?"
Chen Xun asked with a subtle smile.
"Thanks to you, Pavilion Master, everything is going well for me! By the way, Pavilion Master, this is what you need, right?"
Yu Huasheng nodded to indicate that he was fine.
Then he stretched out his hand as if remembering something, and balls of golden light mixed with dark purple light suddenly emerged above his palm. When the light dissipated, a book emitting an eternal aura appeared above his palm.
The surface of the book is engraved with strange runes of unknown shapes and meanings. The whole book exudes a metallic luster but it is not metal. I don’t know what material it is made of.
Chen Xun remained silent. After taking the book from Yu Huasheng, he secretly exerted force on the edge of the book with his fingertips, trying to pry a piece of the book to test its strength.
As a result, Chen Xun was shocked to find that he couldn't pull it down. The book was unexpectedly hard.
The paper was clearly soft and resilient when flipped, but when Chen Xun wanted to tear it apart, he couldn't pull it off at all, just like steel bars.
"This isn't made of any material. The entire book is constructed from the power of rules. If you want to destroy it, ordinary means will be useless! You must use the power of the laws... and the power of the laws cannot be weaker than the laws that this book is constructed from."
Chen Xun thought silently in his heart.
So the treasures of the underworld are all constructed by the power of laws, and the power of laws constructed by each treasure of the underworld is not complete?
No…these should only be in the minority!
Chen Xun's fingers gently rubbed a corner of the Book of Life and Death. He felt that the power of the laws of this thing was not complete.
It’s strange to say... In this world, he has witnessed the power of many laws, but they are all incomplete.
Just like the unique laws that the Demon Kings use the power of heaven and earth to give birth to, they are all incomplete.
This world seems incomplete, and there is something missing in it.
But...it doesn't seem to have much to do with him. Oh, it seems to be related!
If there is any flaw in the heaven and earth, he will not be able to break through to the God Transformation Realm...so he needs a way to make the heaven and earth complete.
"Pavilion Master, you are so eager to check this Book of Life and Death. Is it because of... Deacon Xuan?"
A flash of light flashed through Yu Huasheng's mind, and everything seemed to be connected instantly. He thought of countless reasons why the Pavilion Master came to the underworld, but in the end the Pavilion Master told him that he needed the treasure of the underworld, an item called the Book of Life and Death.
At that time, Yu Huasheng, who did not have the contract for the treasure of the underworld, did not know what the Pavilion Master wanted this thing to be used for. Maybe it was to enhance his strength?
But when he learned about the purpose of the Book of Life and Death, combined with the Pavilion Master's current situation, Yu Huasheng guessed a possibility.
Sylphy!
One of the deacons of Changsheng Pavilion, and one of the first people to follow the Pavilion Master when Changsheng Pavilion was first established.
He is now over 400 years old, has great strength and a bright future!
At least it seems that way on the surface, but you have to know that every executive of the Changsheng Pavilion is as powerful as the Nascent Soul, and their lifespan is thousands of years.
However, Deacon Xuan's strength has been stagnant at the peak of the Jindan stage and has never advanced. Due to Xuan Yi's special identity and kind personality, none of the Yuanying disciples have the idea of challenging Xuan Yi to replace him as deacon.
So for a hundred years... the position of Deacon Xuanyi can be said to be the most special among all the deacons.
The lifespan of a Jindan Yuan is only 500 years. Even with the help of secret techniques, the lifespan of a false infant is only a thousand years. (The protagonist's skills and physique are different.)
So... the worst thing is... if Xuan Yi doesn't give birth to a baby in more than ten years, he will end up dead.
Chen Xun had considered forcibly giving Xuan Yi the Nascent Soul Formation, but the effect of this would be that apart from allowing him to live longer, his strength might not even be as good as those of ordinary Nascent Souls.
If he did this, Chen Xun didn't dare to think about how Xuan Yi would view him for the rest of his life... and what would he do when his lifespan came to an end next time?
Enlightenment?
Power that is not your own will never belong to you. Maybe Xuanyi will become a 'walking corpse' that gradually loses its self over the long years?
"Is it possible?"
Chen Xun nodded without avoiding the question. His eyes were fixed on Yu Huasheng, and his expression seemed... a little nervous?
Yu Huasheng was stunned. It was the first time he saw the Pavilion Master like this.
"I'm sorry, Pavilion Master, I don't know. After all, I haven't tried it. I just accepted the purpose of the Book of Life and Death."
Yu Huasheng shook his head regretfully, saying that he didn't know either, after all, no one had ever tried it.
After signing the contract with the Book of Life and Death, he also learned that the Lords of the Underworld in all generations had never used the Book of Life and Death to change the lifespan of others.
Whether it is because the Lords of the Underworld throughout the ages have been abiding by the established rules and are unwilling to do so, or because there is something missing in the Book of Life and Death and they are unable to fully display their power, it is unknown.
That’s right, the Book of Life and Death is incomplete. Yu Huasheng knew this after he signed the contract with the Book of Life and Death.
Without asking any more questions, Chen Xun mobilized his forces and with the assistance of Yu Huasheng, the original owner of the contract, he effortlessly looked through the Book of Life and Death.
The method of checking is quite simple. You just need to silently recite the name and birth date of the person you want to find.
As long as they are living beings in this world, they have all gone through reincarnation, and their records are in the Book of Life and Death.
"Xuan Yi, male, born in... Powerful demon king, died peacefully at the age of 83... Wait! Is there something wrong with this lifespan record? If that's the case, wouldn't Xuan Yi have died hundreds of years ago?!"
Chen Xun frowned, as if he had thought of some bad outcome.
Xuan Yi clearly lived for more than four hundred years, so why does the Book of Life and Death show that he died hundreds of years ago?
Is there something wrong with the Book of Life and Death?
It should not be.
Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. Perhaps without my help, Xuan Yi would only live to this age.
So...how do I change this?
Chen Xun was in a dilemma for a moment. Should he just change it to several thousand years?
Thinking of this, Chen Xun tried to pick up the judge's pen handed to him by Yu Huasheng and modify the lifespan behind Xuanyi.
But as soon as he touched the Book of Life and Death, the idea of adding thousands of years to Xuanyi's lifespan emerged in his mind, and the pen stopped in place like a magic needle. No matter how hard Chen Xun tried, it could only move a little bit, and nothing was written.
Is it unreasonable?
Or is it that my current power is not enough to modify so much lifespan?
Thinking of this, Chen Xun tried to add a few years to Sylphy first, so eighty-three years became one hundred years. When he started writing, it was very smooth and he didn't feel any resistance at all.
"strangeness?"
Chen Xun raised his brows and tried to add more numbers bit by bit again, until he added the lifespan of Sylphy to 456 years. Suddenly, the silky smooth feeling on the pen was replaced by a layer of resistance.
Four hundred and fifty-six is Xuanyi’s age this year.
In other words, the reason why Chen Xun didn't feel any resistance when he added age to Xuan Yi before was just because he was filling the loopholes in the Book of Life and Death?
Chen Xun held the judge's pen in his hand, pausing on the Book of Life and Death.
The next second after he stopped what he was doing, the record of Xuan Yi's life span suddenly burst into golden light.
Chen Xun couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly. When he looked clearly again, he saw that there was a change in the column that recorded Xuan Yi's life span in the Book of Life and Death.
(Name: Xuanyi
……
Yuanshou: 456/500
…. )
Has the Book of Life and Death been automatically corrected?
Interesting, this kind of treasure is really terrifying!
But can it be added now?
Is there a price to pay?
As if to confirm his guess, Chen Xun gripped the pen again and began to add to the place where it said five hundred yuan of longevity.
The next second after the tip of the pen touched the Book of Life and Death, Chen Xun felt the familiar pressure in his hand again. His arm became extremely heavy, and in the surrounding void, light golden light spots continued to form vortices and converge towards the position where the pen tip was placed.
Chen Xun's expression was shocked, and the spiritual power in his body was consumed at a terrifying rate. With such terrifying consumption, an ordinary Yuan Jue Ying would not be able to last more than five minutes.
However, with his abnormal spiritual power reserves, he can last ten times longer!
But it doesn't seem to be enough.
This magical scene was naturally seen by Zhou Wu and Feng Quan in the room. They stared with wide eyes at Chen Xun who was forcefully rewriting the Book of Life and Death.
If Yu Huasheng hadn't been there to provide cover, the spiritual energy fluctuations surrounding them alone would have been enough to destroy the entire mansion.
What a terrifying amount of spiritual energy!
Although Fengquan didn't know the source of this power, he couldn't help but sigh.
What a pure power, as clean as the power of heaven and earth that already exists in heaven and earth.
Chen Xun looked at the progress that had only been made for ten years, and he couldn't help but frown at the slow pace.
In order to reduce unnecessary consumption, Chen Xun tried to use the power of rules he mastered to fill it.
Sure enough, with the intervention of his several major rules of aura, the consumption of spiritual energy slowed down a lot, and at the same time, the speed of writing with the pen in his hand also increased a bit.
Finally... half an hour later.
