Chapter 2019 Innate Human Soul Book [5,000 words]

"exactly."

The old man officiating nodded, and then said with a solemn expression: "We can survive the disaster this time only because of the help of fellow Taoists."

"With this kind of kindness, we don't want to hide anything from you. I think fellow Taoists also have some doubts in their hearts. You can ask us."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, and asked with a somewhat solemn expression: "I want to know, how do you resist the erosion of the desert sea?"

"To be honest, it relies on the power of the Holy Book." The old man officiating said with an extremely solemn expression.

"Holy book?" Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly.

"Well, it's the scripture you saw before."

The old man who was the officiating priest nodded, and then said: "After the original realm of the wilderness fell, it gradually became difficult to resist the corrosive power of the wilderness sea."

"Hundreds of thousands of kalpas ago, the sea of ​​chaos continued to erode the ancient world of the wilderness, and everything lost its vitality under the power of desolation."

"Just when we were about to despair, an ancient book came flying from the depths of the chaotic sea."

"His scriptures can expel the power of desolation, protect the ancient world from the erosion of desolation, and can even be rubbed into jade and turned into a sacred stone to resist the desolate sea."

When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he roughly understood why the ancient ship of chaos was able to withstand the erosion of the power of desolation.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then said after careful consideration: "I would like to ask if you can let me see some holy books."

All the priests present were silent for a while after hearing this. It was not until a moment later that the old man who was the chief priest finally spoke: "The holy book is related to the survival of my people in the wilderness, and you should not be allowed to come into contact with it."

"But to be honest, the nine of us are about to run out of oil, and we need a new officiant to be able to unleash the power of the holy book."

"I wonder if your distinguished guest would be willing to become the next chief priest of our ancient world."

"The officiant..."

Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise.

The old priest nodded, and then said: "Our Great Wilderness Temple exists to enshrine the Holy Book."

"The chief priest of the Great Wilderness Temple is the most powerful person in the ancient world of Great Wilderness. He can even exert some of the power of the Holy Book..."

Having said this, the face of the officiating old man changed slightly and said: "However, the power of the Holy Book is infinite, and the cost of exerting the power of the Holy Book is extremely high."

"Not only must you cultivate Daluo Yuanshen, but you must also sacrifice your own Yuanshen power."

When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, he roughly understood in his heart that the sacrifices in front of him were probably to activate the innate treasure and overdraw his soul and origin.

In this regard, Chen Nianzhi had actually expected that the power of the innate treasure was too great, and generally it would take at least the late cultivation of Emperor Hunyuan to activate it.

These priests have the highest cultivation level and are only in the early stage of Emperor Hunyuan. It stands to reason that they cannot activate the innate treasure at all.

In order to exert the power of that innate treasure, they can only overdraw the power of their own souls.

Over time, the souls of these sacrifices gradually dried up in the process of activating the innate treasure, so they ended up about to perish.

If it were Chen Nianzhi who was in charge, his spiritual cultivation would be comparable to that of the Hunyuan Emperor in the middle stage. If he could only exert part of his power, the price would be a weakening of his spiritual power at best.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi pondered slightly, and then said: "If I guessed correctly, your holy book is an innate treasure."

"If these treasures are activated with my cultivation, if they only use part of their power, the price should be much lower."

"However, I am not from this world. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to stay in this world for a long time. I'd better choose someone wiser for the position of chief priest."

"You don't need to sacrifice your soul to activate it?"

When the nine great priests heard this, they immediately expressed surprise.

They originally thought that Chen Nianzhi's physical strength was very strong and his spiritual cultivation should be relatively low. They did not expect that Chen Nianzhi's spiritual cultivation was actually so powerful.

When his thoughts were wandering, the old priest said: "To be honest, if we continue, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."

"Since fellow Taoist can activate the Holy Book, then please come with me."

After the words fell, the old priest took Chen Nianzhi to the back of the temple.

Chen Nianzhi followed the nine great priests and soon arrived at the center of the temple.

But in the center of the temple, on a simple stone platform, a simple golden scripture slowly rose and fell, exuding golden scriptures one after another.

"This is……"

"Innate Human Soul Book!"

Chen Nianzhi's heart trembled. Without the obstruction of the sea of ​​chaos, he finally saw the name in the ancient book clearly.

But on the cover of the ancient book, there was a line of golden characters written - Human Soul Book.

"Fellow Taoist, do you recognize this object?"

The old man who was officiating noticed something strange about Chen Nianzhi and couldn't help but asked with some doubts.

Chen Nianzhi pondered slightly, but still told the nine great sacrifices about the origin of the Innate Human Soul Book.

"It is said that in ancient times, when the three-pole primitive realm where I was first opened, a supreme chaotic spiritual treasure was born, called the Three Souls Book of Chaos."

"Later, due to a great catastrophe, the Three Souls Book of Chaos was divided into three parts and turned into the Three Souls Book of Heaven, Earth and Man, which are the three innate treasures."

"If my guess is correct, the innate human soul book in front of me is the lost chaotic human soul book among the three soul books."

When the old man who was the officiating priest heard this, his face suddenly trembled.

His heart sank, and he couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist, this book is my only hope in the ancient world of the wilderness. I must not miss it."

Chen Nianzhi nodded when he heard this, but did not say anything immediately.

After pondering for a long time, he asked: "If one day I can save the ancient world from erosion, can I take this treasure away?"

When the nine great priests heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The old man who was officiating took a deep breath, and then said: "If Taoist friend really has a way, it would be okay to take this treasure away."

"How can we resist those desolate tribes if we just lose the Holy Book?"

Chen Nianzhi nodded when he heard this. This is indeed a question.

The reason why the Great Wilderness Ancient World has been able to sustain itself until now is because the power of the Human Soul Book extremely restrains the Chaos Wilderness tribes.

If there was no human soul book, just the hundreds of Da Luo Jinxian in the Great Wilderness Ancient World, plus a half-disabled Hunyuan Emperor, would have died long ago without a burial place.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "This matter is not urgent. After I recover from my injury, I may try to eradicate the Chaos Desolate Clan around me for you."

"Besides, even if I really leave one day, I will leave you with enough means to protect yourself."

After hearing this, the old man who was officiating finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his tense nerves.

Originally, he was prepared. If Chen Nianzhi really wanted to snatch the holy book, he would use a large formation to trap and kill Chen Nianzhi at all costs.

Since Chen Nianzhi had no other plans, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the old priest was still dubious about Chen Nianzhi's words that he could protect the primitive territory of the wilderness from erosion.

Chen Nianzhi smiled when he saw this. In order to prevent the nine great priests from overthinking, he did not mention the request to understand the Human Soul Book.

He thought for a while, then handed the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique that he had perfected to the old man who was officiating, and said with a smile: "This is the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique that I perfected in my spare time."

"I think it might be of some use to you."

After saying that, Chen Nianzhi left the temple and returned to his residence.

After Chen Nianzhi left, the nine priests were still a little uneasy. One priest couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to expose the holy book this time."

The old priest shook his head and said calmly: "This person's injuries have not yet recovered, but his strength is already so extraordinary. If he really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid it will be useless for us to resist."

"And we are also dying. This may be our only chance."

Saying this, the old priest opened the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique that Chen Nianzhi had perfected.

He didn't have high hopes at first, thinking that Chen Nianzhi's perfected Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique was just a random change.

After all, the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique has been perfected by them for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and it has reached the point of no progress.

But after just looking at it for a moment, the old man who was officiating could not move his eyes away.

His face was slightly shaken, and he said in great shock: "How is it possible?"

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, several of the major priests present had a hint of doubt, but the old man who was the chief priest directly threw the scriptures to them.

They took the scriptures and read them one after another, and then they all showed expressions of ecstasy.

"He reduced the mortality rate of practicing the Great Wilderness Body Refining Technique by ten times. How is this possible?"

The nine great priests were all shocked, and they all looked at each other.

The old man who was officiating gave a wry smile, and then said: "He is willing to give us this method, so that we can use the hearts of villains to save the hearts of gentlemen."

All the priests smiled bitterly, and there was a hint of shock in their hearts.

One of the priests couldn't help but look at the scriptures, and then said: "He actually has such understanding. Could it be that our cultivation method is really so bad?"

All the priests present remained silent, obviously shocked by Chen Nianzhi's methods.
