anything else, first we should get some spirit spring water and try it!" Zhongyuan quickly walked towards the spirit spring."Brother, hold on!" Zhongli Yu called out to Zhong Yuan."Just now, I heard H...Fang Yu looked at Tianji Daoist, his eyes flickering slightly, as if thinking about something.

"As for the Holy Will and their goals, how much do you know" Fang Yu asked again.

"These... I'm truly not sure. I'm not on the same side as them," Tianjidaoren replied, "The Saintly Institute's goal is to destroy the Source Crystal. That's what I learned from the monk..."

"A monk You still know monks" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, he asked.

“Yes, we’ve met a few times, but we’re not really familiar with each other.” Tianjidaoren replied, “He knows my identity, and I know his.”

"Oh Then you tell me what you know about monks." Fang Yu asked curiously.

Although the monk said a lot of information before he died, Fang Yu felt it was still not enough.

"The monk… according to himself, was exiled to this plane because he was framed by his enemies… His cooperation with the will of the Holy Court is to return to the upper plane." Heavenly Machine Daoist said.

"I know all of this. He told me before he died," Fang Yu said.

Tiānjī Dàorén's face changed, and he said, "Well, well, I'm afraid what I know is not much more than yours..."

"So, what secret does the monk know about you" Fang Yu asked.

"He knows I also come from the Upper Realm, and he knows about the Three Passages of Xuanmen where I am," Tianji Daoist said. "Therefore, he is very wary of me, and he doesn't know my purpose in coming here..."

"So, the San Tong Xuan Men where you are from is quite powerful in the upper realms" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"...The Three Passes Through the Xuanmen is a seventh-level immortal sect. In our realm, it has a very big reputation." Tiānjī Dàorén answered truthfully.

Seven-tier Immortal Sect, Realm Domain...

The terms Tianjidao people mentioned were quite new to Fang Yu. He had never heard of them before.

In fact, this was his first true interaction with a higher-dimensional being.

The Heavenly Master in front of you is the goal that countless cultivators pursue throughout their lives... Immortality!

And all the information that Tianjidao said about the upper realms was naturally beyond Fang Yu's past cognition.

After all, Fang Yu had never ascended before.

Seeing Fang Yu's silence, Tiangji Daoist's unease and fear intensified. He spoke, "Fang Yu, although I did indeed want to take the Yuanjing, in the end, I didn't accomplish anything... Killing me would be easy for you, but it wouldn't mean anything. If you could spare my life, I..."

"What would you trade for your life" Fang Yu interrupted Tianjidaoren's words and asked.

"I, I..." Heavenly Mechanism Daoist's face flickered, clearly hadn't thought it through yet.

At this moment, Fang Yu shifted his gaze to the large book on Tianji Daoist's back.

From the first time he saw Tianjidao, he was curious about the book.

"Old man, what's the story behind this book on your back" Fang Yu asked, "I've lived for so long, and I've never seen a book this big."

“This, this is…” Tianji Dao’s heart skipped a beat. He had already realized what Fang Yu wanted, “This is the book of humanity, the ledger of life and death.”

"A book of people, a ledger of life and death" A look of surprise flashed in Fang Yu's eyes.

He had seen records of this Book of Life and Death in various ancient texts.

Generally speaking, the Book of Life and Death is usually mentioned together with two other items.

Book of Man, Record of Life and Death.Book of Earth, Classic of Mountains and Seas.Book of Heaven, Investiture of the Gods.

These three legendary books have vanished without a trace and have never appeared in the world.

Of course, Fang Yu had previously obtained a replica of the Shan Hai Jing artifact from an elder in the Wang family. It did have a similar effect to the legendary Shan Hai Jing, but its true power was far inferior.

But before my eyes, the Heavenly Machine Daoist actually has a Book of Life and Death on his back!

Is this the real Book of Life and Death!

But, a Book of Life and Death appearing on a fairy's person isn't that strange...

"Of course, this is not the real Book of Life and Death...just a copy." Tiangji Daoist said, "The genuine Book of Life and Death is in the hands of our Santong Xuanmen's Sect Master..."

"Well then, let me take a look." Fang Yu reached out his hand.

Tiānjī Dàorén's whole body trembled, his face changing colors.

Although his life and death book is just a copy, its power is about one-tenth that of the genuine article. It's already a rare and highly sought-after magical artifact.

Even if it's only one-tenth, this is still a magic weapon imbued with the law of life!

This is Tiānjī Dàorén's natal magic weapon, and also his proof of standing within the Three Pass Gate.

After all, only with the gatekeeper's trust can one obtain a copy of the Book of Life and Death.

Now, Fang Yu actually wants to take his Book of Life and Death!

Tianji Dao Ren's heart was filled with reluctance.

But he didn't choose.

To survive, you have to give it up.

Tiān jī dào rén could only grit his teeth, taking the Book of Life and Death from his back and offering it with both hands to Fang Yǔ.

Fang Yu took the Book of Life and Death, holding it in his hand. He could feel the faint power of the law contained within it.

This principle… is the law of life.

Fang Yu took this Book of Life and Death, flipping it open.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of light appeared, but all that could be seen was a blank space.

"Could this Book of Life and Death just have a name written on it to make someone die" Fang Yu asked.

"You don't need to write names... you only need to move your thoughts, and the Book of Life and Death will lock onto a target's life, allowing you to erase or repair it..." Heavenly Machine Daoist said.

"Fixing it… doesn't that mean the Book of Life and Death can revive some of the dead" Fang Yu's eyes lit up, he asked.

"Resurrection...perhaps only the true Book of Life and Death in the Sect Master's hands could achieve that. The one I have is merely a copy, incapable of such a feat." Tianji Daoist replied.

"The Book of Life and Death..." Fang Yu's eyes flickered.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was the promise he had made to Zhao Zinan before.

Resurrect Zhao Xuan.

"Don't even think about it, even if you got hold of the real Book of Life and Death, there's no way to resurrect a being whose body and soul have been completely extinguished." Li Huo Yu suddenly spoke.

Fang Yu frowned.

Indeed, Zhao Xuan had died thoroughly back then... Neither his body nor soul had time to be preserved.

"To resurrect someone like this, you can't do it with just the laws of life," Lihuo Yu said. "I think you would have to completely master the laws of life to even have a slight chance, after all, it's equivalent to creating a new life..."

Fang Yu shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

He had always known that resurrecting Zhao Xuan wouldn't be easy.

At first, this promise was made to give Zhao Zinan a glimmer of hope, so that her will wouldn't completely dissipate.

Of course, this doesn't mean Fang Yu deceived Zhao Zinan.

He believes he still has a chance to master the laws of life.

"Copies, it's meaningless." Fang Yu returned the Book of Life and Death to Tianji Daoist, saying, "I'm only interested in the genuine article."

"Genuine, truly genuine!" Tianjidao's face turned pale with shock.

"I already have something in mind... what you'll give me in exchange for your life." Fang Yu smiled faintly.

“What...do you want” Tianji Daoist asked.er ears were crimson red, and her cheeks were flushed.Fang Yu walked to Ji Ruimei's side, squatted down slightly, and looked straight into Ji Ruimei's eyes.Before using his divine sense, he frowned an...
