My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

115 The Nation’s Treasure, the Book of All Beings!

After subduing Murong Shan, Lin Wudao returned to the Li Dynasty’s imperial capital.

The first thing he did after returning was to collect the corpses of Lei Zongheng and the others. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. If he accumulated the little bits, it could also increase his strength.

Heaven’s Hall.

Lin Wudao sat at the head of the hall, while Li Zangtian stood beside him expressionlessly.

In front of him were Yin Siming and Wei Chengyin.

“This time, you killed Lei Zongheng as a sacrifice to the heavens. It can be considered that you have completely broken off your relationship with the Xuantian Sect. To prevent the Xuantian Sect from acting out of desperation, I will stay here for a few days. I will only leave after the crisis is resolved! During this period, Wei Chengyin, your main task is to take control of the Li Dynasty as quickly as possible and learn how to become a qualified ruler. Yin Siming, assist him from the side and let him stabilize the situation.”

His calm voice slowly sounded.

“Yes!”

“We will obey the orders of the City Lord!”

The two bowed in agreement.

“If there is nothing else, all of you can leave.”

Lin Wudao waved his hand.

After saying that, he was prepared to find a quiet place to cultivate.

“City Lord, I …”

Seeing that Lin Wudao was about to leave, Wei Chengyin suddenly took a step forward, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Do you still need something?”

“I… When I was checking and organizing Wei Changtian’s belongings, I found something special. It’s said to be the national treasure of the Li Dynasty. However, my eyes are not sharp enough to see the origin and use of this item. Therefore, I would like to offer it to the City Lord as a token of my appreciation.”

As he spoke, Wei Chengyin took out an ancient and exquisite red sandalwood box from his wide sleeve.

Nation treasure?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao’s interest was piqued.

Something that could be regarded as the national treasure of the Li Dynasty might not be an ordinary item.

Immediately, he took it and opened the red sandalwood box.

Then, a palm-sized, ancient, yellowed piece of paper entered his sight.

Uh… A piece of paper?

Both Lin Wudao and Yin Siming were astonished when they saw what was in the box.

Wei Chengyin definitely wouldn’t dare to fool Lin Wudao.

Since he said that this ancient yellow paper was the national treasure of the Li Dynasty, then it must be.

Perhaps, it was not simple?

With a curious heart, Yin Siming observed the paper secretly.

However, with his knowledge and vision, no matter how he looked at it, he could not see any clues.

It was as if the piece of yellow paper was just an ordinary piece of paper.

Seeing this, Yin Siming also frowned.

Compared to him, Lin Wudao, who had God’s Spiritual Eye, could barely see some clues about what the yellow paper was, though very limited.

[Name: Book of All Beings]

[Level: Unknown]

[Origin: Unknown]

[Description: 1. With it, you have the whole world!]

[2. Listen to the wishes of all living beings and provide all living beings in the world with the help you can!]

[3. All living beings are me, and I am all living beings!]

…

Book of All Beings?

Lin Wudao was surprised to see the feedback from God’s Spiritual Eye.

This seemingly ordinary yellow paper was such an incredible supreme treasure? It could actually listen to the needs and wishes of all living beings in the world?

“It is truly mysterious…”

Lin Wudao held the Book of All Beings in his hand and examined it carefully.

On the surface, there was nothing special about it!

“This thing might have other uses. Let me study it first…”

After saying that, Lin Wudao left the two and went straight to a side hall.

“System, how do I use the Book of All Beings?”

[Consume one million Fate Energy value to unlock the first restriction of the Book of All Beings. At that time, the item will be bound to the host.]

One million Fate Energy value?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao looked at the system panel.

[Fate Energy value: 984,000]

“Not enough? Looks like I have to make a trip to the treasury of the Li Dynasty…” He thought to himself.

...

Then, he immediately asked Li Zangtian to find Wei Chengyin. About two hours later, the huge resources accumulated by the Li Dynasty over the past thousand years were placed in front of Lin Wudao.

“Master, all the resources have been placed in this spirit ring.”

Li Zangtian handed over an ancient storage ring.

“Mm!” Lin Wudao nodded.

His divine sense entered the spirit ring and found many cultivation resources, including various rare spiritual medicines, divine weapons, and precious materials.

After pondering for a while, Lin Wudao took out two-thirds of it and sacrificed them.

The rest was left for the Li Dynasty’s expenses.

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained 1,800,000 Fate Energy value!]

Only 1.8 million?

Although Lin Wudao was a little surprised, he did not feel too conflicted.

After all, although the Li Dynasty had a history of a thousand years, most of the resources were given to the Xuantian Sect every year. In addition to the dynasty’s expenses, it was good enough that they had saved so much.

...

“System, unlock the first restriction of the Book of All Beings!”

[Unlock successfully!]

[Congratulations, host. You have been initially bound to the Book of All Beings. Currently, you can view the needs or wishes of all living beings within Jiuzhou.]

The cold notification echoed in his mind.

Whoosh!

As the first restriction was removed, the originally insignificant yellow paper suddenly blossomed with dazzling divine light. Waves of vast and boundless aura surged out.

Immediately after, under Lin Wudao’s surprised gaze, words began to appear on the yellow paper.

[Name: ]

[Reward Method: ]

[Range: Jiuzhou]

[Remark 1. Once you receive a living being’s request, you must complete it!]

[Remark 2: Both parties cannot go back on their words. The reward cannot be changed midway!]

[Remark 3: During the mission, life and death are up to fate!]

…

“This Book of All Beings is really humane. It looks like a platform for bounty hunters. If living beings encounter difficulties or trouble, they can pay someone to solve it. Interesting! If I change the method of payment to the corpses of powerhouses, then at that time, I will be given corpses as compensation for my service to living beings in need and my help in solving their problems. With this, I will have another new way to collect corpses…”

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao’s eyes lit up.

The Book of All Beings was much easier than the corpse map.

“System, does the name on the Book of All Beings have to be a real name?”

[No need! Host, you can just pick a random name.]

He understood.

Lin Wudao immediately fell into deep thought.

Very quickly, a good name appeared in his mind…

“I used Ren Woxing before. This time, I’ll use Dongfang Bubai.”

As he spoke, he began to fill in the Book of All Beings.

[Name: Jue Dong]

[Reward method: The corpses of powerhouses above the Grotto-Heaven realm!]

[Range: Jiuzhou]

…

A large amount of information was presented.

Whoosh!

As Lin Wudao finished filling in his basic information, the previous words disappeared, and the Book of All Beings returned to its previous appearance.

“System, why isn’t there any reaction?”

[The Book of All Beings will randomly select living beings who meet the conditions. At that time, if someone needs the host’s help, it will automatically appear in the form of words.]

[The host can choose whether to accept the mission according to the other party’s needs and the reward provided. Once the mission is accepted, it must be completed, and you cannot go back on your word during the process.]

…

So that was how it was!

After listening to the system’s explanation, Lin Wudao cultivated quietly while waiting patiently.

What he did not know was that under the effect of a mysterious force, the Book of All Beings was screening people who met the requirements in the entire Jiuzhou.
