Chapter 255: The Divine Scroll Has Spirit

Chapter 255 The Divine Scroll Has Spirit The status of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is so high that he ranks among the top in the entire Three Realms. And Jiang Lin noticed a key point in what the emperor just said. What does it mean that everyone with eyes is staring at the mysterious girl? Being called "having eyes" by the Great Emperor Zhenwu can at least prove one thing, that these people or forces are qualified to be noticed and even taken seriously by the Great Emperor Zhenwu. In other words, they are all qualified to sit at the table and place bets as gamblers at the card table called "Three Realms", rather than being treated as chips and exploited at will. The Three Realms is huge, there are many card tables, there are countless chips, and there are also many gamblers. And these forces that are qualified to sit at the table are actually eyeing a mysterious girl from West Kunlun... The Tianren faction took advantage of its interest relationship with the four holy clans of West Kunlun to take the lead while also releasing a lot of smoke bombs, thus temporarily gaining the spotlight. But in the words of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, that's the limit of the courage of those termites. They only dare to use the mysterious girl to contribute to their own community of interests. The Tianren system does not dare to take more serious advantage or gamble. The current Tianren system is an old man with a far greater amount of chips. He has few rivals at the poker table and can be said to be the leader among his peers.

But if the person who overturns the table comes, the Tianren system will be nothing more than a decrepit old man. The most obvious manifestation of this was when Jiang Lin followed the Ziwei Emperor’s decree that “there are no taboos” and massacred the Tianshu Court. And in the eyes of everyone at the poker table, the mysterious girl was no longer a knife like Jiang Lin that cut a crack in the gambling table. It was a thousand-ton gunpowder bomb. If you are not careful, the whole table will be overturned. Even if it can be stood up again, the guests around the table will definitely not survive. Therefore, even though the old fellow Tianrenxi got the gunpowder bomb, he only dared to hold it carefully in his hand, coaxing from time to time, and giving out some gunpowder to other people close to him. And now, this gunpowder bomb is out of the control of the Tianren system. A man named Jiang Lin, who had no right to sit at the table and could only serve as a special chip as a knife, suddenly jumped out of the gambling table and slapped the old man from Tianrenxi. Then, he snatched the gunpowder bomb from his hand and threw it recklessly, without caring whether it would explode or not. So, those who didn’t get the food earlier are now staring at the little kid who suddenly climbed onto the table and showed off. Moreover, he saw the big guys behind the little boy who were sharpening their knives, eager to use their heads as bargaining chips for the new round. Now, the child is holding the thunder and asking the big man behind him where the thunder came from. Emperor Zhenwu did not answer immediately, but asked: "Xuanying, in your opinion, what is spirituality?" Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and replied subconsciously: "All things have spirits, and all living beings can achieve enlightenment." After saying this, Jiang Lin shook his head. What he said was recognized by the cultivation community. On this point, the three orthodox schools of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism all believed this. But it is obvious that the questions asked by Emperor Zhenwu are not so simple. What's more, spirituality is not all good. It is not just the righteous path. Those evil things are also running wildly and freely on the spiritual path. The correct view on spirituality, or the idea that all things have spirits, is to let nature take its course, without interfering or influencing anything, just like a person walking slowly. As for those evil ghosts...

Spirituality? If this thing is twisted "slightly", it will be perfect for evil! The suggestion is a freak running wild. After hearing Jiang Lin's answer, Emperor Zhenwu first nodded, then shook his head. "It's true that all things have spirits, and it's also true that all living things can achieve enlightenment, but..." As the Great Emperor Zhenwu spoke, he raised his hand. In front of Jiang Lin's astonished gaze, a talisman appeared in the Great Emperor Zhenwu's hand. It is exactly the same as the Heavenly Talisman held by Jiang Lin, but there are great differences between them. If we really have to say, the heavenly talisman held by Jiang Lin is a beggar who is ragged, hungry and skinny. The talisman of Emperor Zhenwu depicts a king wearing a helmet and armor, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, riding a black horse and holding a magic spear. Although both are human beings, the gap between them is obviously huge. "This is……" Jiang Lin looked at the talisman of the Great Emperor Zhenwu and couldn't help but ask, "The Jade Emperor's talisman?" The Third Prince had told his family at the beginning that above the ordinary celestial talisman, there was another kind of talisman called the Jade Emperor's talisman. Even if all the gods in the entire heaven were added together, there were not many who were qualified. And Emperor Zhenwu is obviously one of them. "Come and see." The Great Emperor Zhenwu nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Do you think this old man's magic scroll is effective?" Of course there is spirituality! Jiang Lin was about to answer subconsciously. How could it be that the talisman bestowed by the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Three Realms, was one level higher than ordinary celestial talismans and had been held and nurtured by the Great Emperor Zhenwu for who knows how many years, was not spiritual? But when the words came to his lips, Jiang Lin suddenly stopped. What the Great Emperor Zhenwu asked was whether there was a spirit, not whether there was spirituality! There is a huge gap between them. This Jade Emperor's magic talisman is certainly not lacking in spirituality. Even if Jiang Lin just takes a quick look at it, he can see its extremely vigorous spirituality. But what if it is a spirit? There are so many concepts that can be derived from the word "ling". The most direct one is... Wisdom! No matter how spiritual a talisman is, how can it possibly develop intelligence and become an independent individual? Jiang Lin thought subconsciously in his heart. "Yes, this is just a scroll. Even if it was bestowed by the Great Celestial Venerable, it is just a scroll. It has spirituality, but no spirit." As if he had heard Jiang Lin's inner thoughts, the Great Emperor Zhenwu answered himself and said, "I cannot make this talisman spiritual. There are not many people in or outside the Three Realms who can do it." “What’s more, even if I can do it, this magic scroll is ultimately an acquired thing and does not have the foundation to reverse the world.” Jiang Lin listened to the words of Zhenwu Emperor and seemed to have thought of something. He slowly widened his eyes and subconsciously looked at Zhenwu Emperor. There was a look of intense surprise and a hint of absurdity. Can this really be done?

The Great Emperor Zhenwu put away the Jade Emperor's talisman in his hand, and when he saw Jiang Lin was about to speak, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt him. "Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud. Of course, it's best not to think about it." The sound was not loud, but to Jiang Lin's ears, it sounded like a huge bell. He came back to his senses, took a deep breath, suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, bowed slowly, and said: "Disciple, remember this." "Ah." The Great Emperor Zhenwu nodded, then took two steps forward, patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are bound to offend many people this time." "Although those termites are also useless fools in the eyes of their respective ancestors, they are still our disciples after all." "Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Lin nodded, he naturally understood. There is no Taoist lineage that does not protect its disciples. Even their own Black Law lineage, which is extremely cruel to its own people, has never let its disciples suffer any injustice. As for the Ascension system that Jiang Lin is going to fight this time, most of them have inheritance and legal system. There are also big guys who protect their children behind them. What the Great Emperor Zhenwu said is absolutely right. Even if there is an idiot in my family, it should be my family's responsibility to take care of it. What does it have to do with you, an outsider? This kind of thinking is by no means limited to a certain lineage of Dharma. When it comes to protecting their own people, the entire Taoist sect is serious. “But even so, I think there is nothing for me to be afraid of. Even if it is…” Jiang Lin said, pointing upwards. The intention of several big guys in the Arctic department is very simple, from the bottom up, starting from Jiang Lin, bring out some things so that those bastards in the Ascension Department will suffer a big loss. However, moving from the bottom up will inevitably lead to pressure from the top down. Such pressure often comes from the ancestors of various families, all of whom hold high positions in heaven. Anyway, Jiang Lin felt that he couldn't bear the heavy burden on his shoulders. Fortunately, Jiang Lin has a few ancestors who are somewhat famous and powerful. "Of course." The Great Emperor Zhenwu nodded with a smile, and then said solemnly: "Some people really went too far. I can't pull myself away, so I have to hand it over to you younger generations. I am really ashamed." Can't pull your hands away? Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, but he was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. What a big shot of this level is busy with is obviously not something Jiang Lin should know. But Jiang Lin still couldn't help thinking about it. Is the chaos in the three realms really just as simple as the Great Celestial Lord's transformation into a calamity? Yes, the Great Celestial Venerable is the most important stabilizer of the Three Realms, but the Four Great Emperors are not pushovers either, and the gods in heaven are not there to eat for free. If the Heavenly Court was almost at a standstill just because of the Great Celestial Lord's calamity, it would not only be an insult to many great gods, but also an insult to the Great Celestial Lord himself.

What? I haven’t shown up for a while and you guys are paralyzed? What are you being fed for? As his cultivation level improved and he reached the fairyland, Jiang Lin's horizons broadened a lot. The previous understanding of the chaos in the three realms now seems to have some shortcomings and flaws. And now, the seemingly unintentional words of the Great Emperor Zhenwu made Jiang Lin think of a lot of things. But Jiang Lin just thought about it and didn't even dare to think deeply about it, because that was not something Jiang Lin should worry about. With this thought in mind, Jiang Lin bowed and said, "Master, rest assured. Just leave it to me." As he spoke, Jiang Lin chuckled and said, "If you ask me about my other abilities, I might disappoint you, Master." "But when it comes to wielding a knife to kill someone, I can still say I'm quite skilled at it." "It's not about cutting people." Emperor Zhenwu shook his head slightly and corrected him, "At least not all of them." Jiang Lin couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this. Some people are too restless. This sentence was uttered by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and with this correction, the direction was too obvious. Isn't it? Jiang Lin was a little puzzled. No, is there really someone in my Taoist sect who is this stupid? Jiang Lin was thinking silently, but saw Emperor Zhenwu raise his hand. Suddenly, the Zhenwu magic sword, which had been in tune with Jiang Lin's mind and could have been stored in his Lingtai Zifu, was summoned out. "Yes, that's right. The children in Taisu Palace are very skilled at casting spells." The Great Emperor Zhenwu flicked the sword in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. "I will definitely tell my colleagues in Taisu Palace about your words when I have the chance." Jiang Lin said with a smile. The Great Emperor Zhenwu said nothing, just thought about it, and then drew the magic sword across the tip of his finger. Under Jiang Lin's surprised eyes, Emperor Zhenwu bled. An imperceptible, almost non-existent blood line appeared on the Zhenwu Sword. These traces of blood come from the Great Emperor Zhenwu! From a great emperor who fought his way out from the bottom of the Three Realms and silenced all the demons in the Three Realms! ‘Buzz! ! ! ’ The Zhenwu Sword was vibrating and humming like never before.

The trace of blood quickly disappeared into the Zhenwu sword, and the sword sound also disappeared. The Great Emperor Zhenwu casually threw the magic sword back to Jiang Lin and said with a smile: "Slaying demons and eliminating evil should be the job of the Zhenwu lineage, but now it has been entrusted to you, a kid from the Heilu lineage. If you don't give me some benefits, you may be bullied by your master when you return." Jiang Lin chuckled and said, "Thank you for your gift, Master. I am really flattered." He said he was flattered, but he was not polite at all. He kept stroking the sword in his hand lovingly. This Zhenwu magic sword is the magic weapon that has been with Jiang Lin for the longest time. Although its material and spirituality are top-notch in the world, it is somewhat unable to keep up with the pace after Jiang Lin ascended to immortality. But now it's different. Although in Jiang Lin's perception, this Zhenwu magic sword seemed to have not changed, Jiang Lin was sure that this magic sword had changed a lot. Now, the changes are happening in a way that you cannot perceive. This is a trace of blood from the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Even though it is only a tiny trace, it is more important than Mount Tai. "Go." Emperor Zhenwu smiled and patted Jiang Lin on the forehead. Before Jiang Lin could open his mouth, he felt himself moving backwards at a very fast speed. The speed was so fast that it even exceeded Jiang Lin's spiritual perception. He had no idea how long he had been flying. He could only barely sense that he was very far away from Wudang Mountain. The ancient battlefield where the meeting with Emperor Zhenwu took place doesn’t seem to be in Southern Continent? Jiang Lin was thinking in a daze, when suddenly, his body sank. 'thump……' Accompanied by a muffled sound, Jiang Lin lay down in a horse-like posture in a place filled with the smoke of incense and the bright lights of candles. He slowly raised his head, only to find that this seemingly silent hall was actually full of people. The Taoists maintained their postures of chanting and worshipping, looking at the Taoist friend who suddenly appeared under the statue of their own ancestor Zhenwu with an extremely indecent posture. "here it is……" Jiang Lin shook his dizzy head, raised his head and asked subconsciously. "This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Wudang Mountain..." A Taoist priest also answered subconsciously. "Oh……" Jiang Lin barely stood up and muttered, "Why is the master so powerful?" As soon as these words were spoken, all the Taoists in the hall were looking at Jiang Lin. (End of this chapter)
