#954 - The Unfathomable Book of Life and Death

"You… what's your name?"

He Qingyun looked at the young man in the sword robe in shock.

"Answering, Master's wife, this disciple is Jun Wuxie. Master's wife can just call me Wuxie."

"Jun Wuxie, that's quite a special name." He Qingyun was both shocked and excited. "Wuxie, your realm should be very high, right? This speed is too fast, so fast that Master's wife can't even see clearly."

"Master's wife, my realm is alright. There are many high-realm experts in our sect now. Master's wife will definitely like the current sect after returning."

As he said this, they landed in front of the Hall of Life and Death.

Many people were guarding this place. When they saw him coming from afar, those Netherworld experts ran away as if they had seen a flood or a ferocious beast. They vanished in an instant.

"They left because they had something to do. This way, we won't be discovered when we go to the Hall of Life and Death."

He Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, those Netherworld experts left at this time, probably because they received some orders.

Although she now knew that Jun Wuxie's realm was very high, otherwise he wouldn't have such speed, this was the Netherworld Underworld, far from being able to contend with the Netherworld beings.

After all, two fists can't block four hands.

Jun Wuxie was stunned in his heart. Seeing his Master's wife's face full of rejoicing, he wanted to laugh a little.

He didn't intentionally deceive her. The main reason was that he had told the truth, but his Master's wife didn't believe him.

Then let her be worried. When she returns to the Yang Realm, she will naturally believe it.

The Hall of Life and Death was very ancient, and the walls of the hall were imprinted with the vicissitudes of time.

This hall was very deep, with three floors in total. The pillars and walls inside were covered with murals depicting life and death. The two extreme and opposing artistic conceptions made this place seem very strange, with an unspeakable sense of gloom.

He and his Master's wife came directly to the third floor.

At the deepest part of this floor, there was an ancient stone platform with mysterious runes imprinted on it.

A book was suspended above the stone platform, one and a half feet long and one foot wide.

The book was not very thick, about the thickness of two fingers.

The gray cover flowed with white light.

Gray represents death, and white represents life.

The three ancient characters on the cover were extremely dazzling.

Jun Wuxie stared at it for a long time and found that he didn't recognize the three characters. However, he knew that this must be the Book of Life and Death.

This kind of writing is definitely not the writing of these past few epochs. Could it belong to the Underworld script?

"That's not right. The Underworld Emperor said that the Book of Life and Death is related to the Book of Destiny. This kind of thing probably shouldn't be exclusive to a certain world, right?"

He pondered in his heart.

He Qingyun stared at the font on the cover of the Book of Life and Death for a long time, her face full of confusion. "Wuxie, this writing is too ancient. Master's wife can't understand it. Can you understand it? If you can't understand it either, then the content inside, I'm afraid, will also be incomprehensible…"

Jun Wuxie nodded without saying anything.

He secretly inquired Suzaku, and the answer he got was that this kind of writing seemed to be a special writing from before the Immortal Antiquity, and it was not common even in that era.

Suzaku appeared silently beside him, looking at the Book of Life and Death in front of her, her expression a little dignified.

This startled Jun Wuxie.

The Book of Life and Death of a low-level Underworld Underworld actually made Aunt You reveal such an expression. It seems that this Book of Life and Death in front of him is not simple.

"Aunt You, what's wrong?"

Jun Wuxie took two steps forward and reached out to open the cover of the Book of Life and Death. The inside was blank, but there was a special aura flowing.

"Why are there blank pages?"

He was very surprised. He activated his pupil technique, but what he saw was still blank.

Whether it was the Primordial True Pupils, the Fiery Eyes of Truth, the Talisman Dao Pupil Technique, or the composite pupil technique after the fusion of several pupil techniques, the result was the same.

"Continue to turn the pages. Each page corresponds to a world. Those who are not recognized by the Book of Life and Death as controllers, or the people corresponding to that world, cannot see the content inside."

Suzaku explained this way. She was the Heavenly Emperor and saw the tricks of this Book of Life and Death. However, this Book of Life and Death still had some mysteries that even she could not see through temporarily, which shocked her even more.

Jun Wuxie continued to turn the pages, and each page was blank until he turned to the page corresponding to the Lower Realm.

Mysterious light-flowing characters appeared on it, line by line, appearing on the paper.

Clearly, the paper was only a foot or so in size, but as these characters appeared, it became infinitely large in Jun Wuxie's eyes, as if facing the vast and boundless starry sky.

Countless, densely packed names appeared on it.

He saw familiar names on it, such as the people of the Xuanyuan clan, the people of the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters, the people of the Wonders Pavilion, as well as the people of his sect, the women around him, and so on.

Among these familiar names, he did not see his own name.

There was a strange phenomenon. Some names were relatively dim, and the light was not as bright as other names.

He discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the names that were the dimmest were those of his imperial concubine and his daughter, then the people who were closest to him, and then the people who were closer to him but did not have deep interactions…

Talisman Dao power flowed between Jun Wuxie's palms, and he reached out and wiped the page, erasing a large number of names.

However, the next moment, something that shocked him happened. The erased names immediately reappeared.

He looked nearby and saw a gray and white brush on the stone platform in front of him, which looked ordinary but flowed with a mysterious aura.

He picked up the brush and swiped it across the names on the page of the Book of Life and Death, but after the names disappeared, they reappeared.

"Aunt You, is there any way to erase all the names on this page?"

"Wait, continue to turn the pages, and I'll take another look."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuxie immediately began to turn the pages.

As a result, the pages behind could not be turned no matter how he tried.

"I can't turn them over. What is recorded on the pages behind?"

He was very curious. Although the front was blank paper, he could not see the content, but at least he could turn the pages. But when he got here, he could not turn them over?

At this time, Suzaku's slender fingers stretched out, pinched the paper, and were about to turn it over. The Book of Life and Death shone brightly, and countless runes appeared. The entire Book of Life and Death began to burn.

Suzaku immediately retracted her hand, and the light and smoke on the Book of Life and Death extinguished.

"There is a restriction on it. Only Heavenly Emperor-level power can forcibly turn the pages, but once it senses Heavenly Emperor power, it will begin to self-destruct."

She now felt that the problem with this Book of Life and Death was very big. Whose handwriting was this?

You must know that this Book of Life and Death may just be one of the many Books of Life and Death made by a certain existence. Located in the Lower Realm level corresponding to the Underworld Underworld, its restriction may be the weakest.

"There must be a problem with the Book of Life and Death. There are secrets hidden behind it. As long as we open it, we may be able to understand some of the secrets!" After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he immediately said with a helpless expression: "It's just that even Aunt You has no way to open it. It seems that we can't understand its secrets…"

"No, it's not that there is no hope of opening the pages behind. Young Master, try it!"

"Me?" Jun Wuxie was at a loss and asked: "Didn't I try just now? I couldn't shake the pages at all."

"Aunt You knows that under normal circumstances, Young Master, you can't turn them over. You can try using blood, dipping your fingers in your blood to turn the pages!"

"Can this work?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, but he did not hesitate and cut a small opening on his fingertip.

Golden blood overflowed.

He rubbed his thumb and index finger against each other, so that his fingers were evenly stained with blood, and then he pinched the pages again.

A strange feeling surged into his heart. He moved his fingers slightly, and with a rustling sound, the pages were turned over very easily, without encountering any obstacles.

"It actually succeeded…"

He stood there in a daze. What was going on?

Why could his blood do something that even a Heavenly Emperor like Aunt You could not do?

Countless traces appeared on the pages, with no writing, only traces, strands like veins, intertwined with each other, densely packed.

He could not understand the meaning of these veins, but he could feel that the things carried by these veins were extraordinary.

At this time, he found that Suzaku's eyes had become particularly solemn, her beautiful eyes were very bright, and even bloomed with a terrifying light.

"Aunt You."

"Continue to turn the pages."

Suzaku's voice had obvious emotional fluctuations.

Jun Wuxie hurriedly turned the next page. The veins intertwined on it were still like the previous page, but there seemed to be some slight differences.

It was just that he could not understand it at all, and could only vaguely feel that there were some slight differences.

"Turn!"

Suzaku said, terrifying Great Dao runes appeared in her golden-red eyes, staring closely at the veins on the pages.

Jun Wuxie continued to turn the pages according to her instructions, pausing for a moment on each page before continuing to turn to the next page.

When he turned to the last page, Suzaku's eyes were fixed here.

Extremely terrifying scenes appeared in her eyes, a chaotic surge, as if the world was opening and creating endless universes.

For a long time, Jun Wuxie did not hear her voice. When he turned around, he was immediately shocked.

He saw that Aunt You's face was covered in sweat, her golden-red pupils had shrunk to two points, her whole body was tense, her face had become a little pale, and her delicate body was trembling slightly.

"Aunt You!"

Jun Wuxie shouted loudly, but Suzaku seemed not to have heard him.

"Aunt You, wake up!"

He hurriedly let go of the Book of Life and Death, rushed to Suzaku's face, grabbed her arms, and shook her hard.

In an instant, Suzaku's delicate body shook violently, her pupils gradually returned to normal, she gasped heavily, her clothes were soaked, sweat made her hair stick to her cheeks, and she looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

"Young Master…"

Suzaku stared at him, her eyes trembling.

“Aunt You, are you alright? What happened just now?”

Jun Wuxie was very worried and felt a little scared. What exactly was this Book of Life and Death that it could turn Aunt You, who was at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, into such a state!

At the same time, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Aunt You's gaze towards him at this moment was different from before. There seemed to be some strange emotion deep in her eyes, but he couldn't understand what that emotion was.

The Vermilion Bird's expression was slightly dazed for a moment, then she softly said, "I'm fine."

“What exactly happened just now? This Book of Life and Death…”

“It's nothing, it's just that the Dao traces inside are a bit special. I got a little too absorbed in watching it.”

Jun Wuxie opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't speak.

He knew that the truth of the matter was definitely not as simple as what Aunt You said, but Aunt You clearly didn't want to say it.

Since that was the case, he naturally couldn't continue to ask. Firstly, he didn't want to embarrass her, and secondly, if Aunt You didn't say it, there must be a reason why she didn't want to say it.

He turned his head to look at the Book of Life and Death suspended in the air above the stone platform, his heart filled with deep shock and profound doubts.

What exactly was it that could make a Heavenly Emperor like Aunt You covered in sweat!

What did she see on the last page of the Book of Life and Death?

Aunt You was the Vermilion Bird Sovereign, a top-tier existence even among Heavenly Emperors.

Just how strong such a top-level Heavenly Emperor was was unimaginable, yet she had such a reaction just from looking at the last page of the Book of Life and Death!

“Aunt You, I should be able to erase the names on that page with my blood, right?”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he stepped forward and began to turn the pages. He wanted to find the page corresponding to the Lower Realm and try to erase all the names on it with his blood.

“The Great衍 number is fifty, escape one, the remainder is forty-nine…”

The Vermilion Bird murmured softly, somewhat lost in thought.

Jun Wuxie happened to turn to that page at this moment and was about to try when he heard the Vermilion Bird's murmur and turned back to say, “Aunt You, what did you say about the Great衍 number?”

The Vermilion Bird came back to her senses, saw that his finger was stained with blood and was reaching towards the paper, and her expression changed drastically: “Young Master, you mustn't!”

Jun Wuxie's finger stopped in the air, less than half an inch away from the page.

He looked at the Vermilion Bird: “Aunt You, what's wrong? I want to try to erase these names. That way, the fate and karma of the beings in the Lower Realm will not be connected to this Netherworld Underworld, and even if they die in the future, their souls will not be guided here.”

“You can't! You can't touch any of the names on it, just let the names stay on it!”

“Why?”

Jun Wuxie was puzzled.

“Young Master, listen to Aunt You.” The Vermilion Bird shook her head, not explaining the reason, and said, “If Young Master is only worried that the souls of beings below the Half-Sage Realm in the Lower Realm will be guided to the Netherworld Underworld after death, Young Master can take the Book of Life and Death away and place it in the Eternal Life Shrine, and the problem will be perfectly solved. There is no need to erase the names on it.”

“Alright.”

Jun Wuxie didn't insist. Since Aunt You had said so, he would naturally listen.

The Heavenly Emperor's words must be correct. It seemed that there were more and more secrets about this Book of Life and Death.

“Young Master, when you go to the Upper Realm in the future, when your strength is sufficient, you must go to the Netherworld Underworld of that world and retrieve the Book of Life and Death there as well!”

Hearing these words, he couldn't help but ask: “Aunt You, what is the secret of this Book of Life and Death?”

“Aunt You can't be sure now, but this Book of Life and Death is very important. It may be related to the future of all of us. Not to mention retrieving every Book of Life and Death in the Netherworld Underworld, you must at least get the most important Books of Life and Death and place them in the Eternal Life Shrine, so that they will always remain in the Eternal Life Shrine!”

Jun Wuxie was silent, thinking for a long time, and said: “I heard the Netherworld Sovereign say that the legend is that this Book of Life and Death is related to the Book of Destiny?”

“Perhaps…” The Vermilion Bird looked at Jun Wuxie, her expression slightly dazed, and softly said: “The Book of Destiny, perhaps Aunt You has already seen the Book of Destiny…”

“What?” Jun Wuxie looked surprised and said: “Where is the Book of Destiny?”

He was now both curious and wary of the Book of Destiny.

The Book of Life and Death had already made the Vermilion Bird like this, so what about the Book of Destiny?

The Book of Destiny was probably something created by existences at the level of the main players on the chessboard of the Heavens!

The Vermilion Bird shook her head gently and said: “This Book of Life and Death has a restriction, only you, the one with an indefinite innate destiny, can take it away, no one else can do it. Therefore, you must take it in the future.”

“Okay, I remember!”

Jun Wuxie didn't say anything more.

The Vermilion Bird still refused to tell him more about the Book of Life and Death and the Book of Destiny.

She actually said that she had already seen the Book of Destiny!

The eyes of the Heavenly Emperor could see through the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, it seemed that Aunt You had secretly deduced and searched just now.

“Young Master, do not mention the secret of the Book of Life and Death to anyone, it is enough for us to know.”

The Vermilion Bird exhorted.

Jun Wuxie nodded, and then said: “Aunt You, my Ancestral Master is fighting against the Great Emperor lurking in this Netherworld Underworld, what is the situation now?”

“The battle has long ended, and there are no more Emperor-level powerhouses in this Netherworld Underworld.”

“What? Is Aunt You saying that Ancestral Master has already killed that Great Emperor?”

Jun Wuxie was shocked. Ancestral Master killed the Great Emperor so quickly?

Which of these levels of powerhouses was not a stunning and brilliant figure among the Heavens? Each of them was an invincible protagonist of an era. If their realms were the same, who would be much weaker than whom?

In a battle between Great Emperors, wanting to determine life and death was by no means an easy task. Wanting to kill the other party would probably require paying a great price!

“It's not as difficult as you think. Your Ancestral Master is not at the Great Emperor Realm, he is at the Universe Emperor Realm above the Great Emperor Realm. Killing a few Great Emperor Realm beings is just a matter of waving his sword a few times. It is true that Emperor Realm powerhouses are stunning and brilliant, and it is very difficult to kill them in the same realm, but killing those in lower realms is an instant thing. ”

“……” Jun Wuxie was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to recover: “So Ancestral Master is so strong? I thought that the Heavenly Emperor Realm was above the Great Emperor Realm, but I didn't expect that there was also a Universe Emperor Realm…”

“Above the Great Emperor is the Universe Emperor, and above the Universe Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor. The further you go in the realm, the more difficult it is to break through, and the greater the gap between each realm, which is an insurmountable gap. In the Emperor Realm, no one can cross a great realm and go against the current. Even the princess, a myth among myths, could only fight to a draw with a powerhouse who had just entered the Universe Emperor Realm when she surpassed the peak of the Great Emperor Realm and reached the Half-Step Universe Emperor Realm. ”

“The princess is the strongest person in the same realm besides the master. When she was in the early stage of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, she fought with one of the Nine Heavens, the strongest in the Heavenly Emperor Realm. At the cost of everything, she could challenge him! This is already unprecedented and unrepeatable, stronger than the master was at this realm at the time. The master became a myth among myths in the later stage of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, while the princess had already achieved this at the peak of the Great Emperor Realm!”

“Better than the blue, Qingxue's family are all perverts!”

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but exclaim. This was too outrageous. His father was so strong in the Bright Universe that he was invincible. No one should have been able to surpass him from the ancient times to now. Although his daughter's realm was not that high, she could still challenge existences in that realm. Her talent and growth were defying the heavens!

This family is simply amazing!

It has to be said that bloodline and birth are still very important.

The daughter of that existence already had a heaven-defying bloodline, and the key was that she cultivated even harder than others, which was really unsolvable…
