539 Chapter 559, the book of Sages
Upon hearing their words, Meng Jingtian felt even more guilty. He patted his chest on the spot and promised that he would definitely save them. Immediately, the scene was filled with a scene of fatherly love, filial piety… Bah, the gods were kind, and the believers were devout and harmonious.
However, after he was moved, things had to return to normal. Meng Jingtian took out the demon-suppressing pagoda demon script that he had copied and asked the ancient monsters beside him, “Do any of you know these words? Who will translate them for me?”
Once the words were out, the ancient demons widened their eyes and looked at the rubbings in front of them in shock. For a moment, they were speechless.
“This… This is… the demon-subduing pagoda!”After a long while, the dragon tribe leader cautiously said with the approval of the other ancient demons.
“You know it? Then can you translate it for me? What is written on it?”Meng Jingtian’s eyes lit up. He had indeed found the right person!
“These words record the names of the monsters that were suppressed in the demon suppression tower, as well as their respective lives. It’s equivalent to… the tombstones of you humans.”The Dragon tribe leader couldn’t help but sigh.
These were the ancient monsters that were once the most powerful, but now, they were even more miserable than them, trapped in the demon suppression tower forever.
“It doesn’t say how to enter the Demon Suppression Tower?”Meng Jingtian asked with some disappointment after hearing the Dragon tribe leader translate it for him in detail.
“This was originally meant to suppress the demon emperor. Why would it write down the method for others to enter?”
“The reason why there are records of the lives of these ancient great demons is probably because the system God wanted them to leave behind a trace of their existence.”
“Back then, when the ancient demon tribe and the gods were at a crucial moment in the battle, the demon suppression tower descended from the sky and suppressed the demon Emperor and the great demons. It was truly the will of heaven!”The Dragon tribe leader said in a deep voice.
When he spoke of this matter, his eyes were still filled with unwillingness.
If it wasn’t for the demon suppression tower descending from the sky, the current situation in the Huaxia region might not have been so certain!
When he spoke of the will of heaven, the Dragon tribe leader couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
The will of heaven that he spoke of was actually the system’s intention. In this world, who could defy it?
The system had chosen a god, not a god with strength.
“Is there no other way?”Meng Jingtian was also somewhat unwilling. He could predict that this was a major plot.
“Lord God must want to enter the demon suppression tower. Perhaps that fellow will have a way. You can try looking for him. He has been studying the demon suppression tower.”The Dragon tribe leader paused and said to Meng Jingtian.
“Who?”Meng Jingtian immediately asked.
“Bai Ze. He is the most erudite of the ancient demons. He is proficient in all the secrets of the demon race. Because he doesn’t know the origin of the Demon Emperor, he is very interested in the demon emperor. He was once a general under the Demon Emperor.”
“Before the battle at the demon suppression tower, he suddenly found an excuse to leave. He said that he wanted to find a supreme-being weapon for the demon emperor, so he was able to escape.”
“Now that I think about it, that fellow has always been good at avoiding danger. It seems that he had already expected this,”the Dragon Clan Leader thought back as he explained to Meng Jingtian.
“Before we were driven into the land of God Forsaken, I heard that he had been studying the demon-subduing pagoda ever since.”
“Bai Ze really came here during the new Sun?”Meng Jingtian looked at the Dragon Clan leader and asked.
“Of course!”The clan leader of the Dragon Clan nodded without hesitation.
“Then where can I find it?”Meng Jingtian asked the clan leader of the Dragon Clan.
The clan leader of the dragon clan looked embarrassed, “We have been trapped here for too long, so…”
“However, it likes the book of Sage and people of universal love. If it has these two things, it might come to you by itself.”
“Where can I find the book of Sages and people of universal love?”Meng Jingtian continued to ask.
“We don’t know about that.”The Dragon Clan leader shook his head again.
Meng Jingtian sighed and thought for a moment. Then, he said to the group of ancient demi-humans in front of him who were eagerly looking at him, “Thank you for telling me. I will continue to find a way to break the barrier. You guys just wait for My Good News!”
After saying that, he directly sent the message back to autumn water city from the statue.
After coming out of the statue, Meng Jingtian couldn’t help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. Damn, he was being stared at by so many ancient monsters. The pressure was really too great!
This time, he definitely wouldn’t forget to look for a way to break the barrier and go back to save his “Subjects”.
Yes! But… he had to think of a way to find Bai Ze First!
The book of Sages, people of universal love? It should be referring to some kind of item and some NPC, right?
He had never heard of it before.
He thought about it and couldn’t think of anything for a while. Meng Jingtian decided to brainstorm and ask his friends to help him find it.
The world of the game was too big. He had been leveling up and getting equipment, so he might not have heard of the “Gossip”.
“The book of Sages? Isn’t it literally a book of sages? Which sages are there? If you randomly find a book they wrote, isn’t it the book of Sages?”
Cai Minghou replied matter-of-factly.
As for the others, they either answered that they had never heard of this item, or that they were helping him to keep an eye on it.
Meng Jingtian looked at the answers in the private chat, and his gaze fell on the private chat message that Cai Minghou had answered.
This family’s comprehension ability was off the charts! Book of Sages = book written by sages. There was nothing wrong with it.
Which sages were there? Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, Confucius..
Got It! The first person he thought of was his eldest senior brother. The ‘Dao de Jing’that he had written should also be worthy of being called the book of Sages, right?
Meng Jingtian ran to the bookstore opened by the npcs in autumn water city to search for it.
But what the F * ck, what this bookstore sold were skill books. There was simply nothing as serious as the Book of Dao De Jing.
Meng Jingtian held his forehead helplessly. Could it be that he had to ask his senior brother for it?
After thinking for a while, he had no other way for the time being. He would first ask his senior brother for it and try.
Hearing Meng Jingtian’s intentions, the Grand Supreme Lao Jun waved his horsetail whisk and stroked his beard, he said somewhat helplessly, “Junior brother! It’s not that senior brother doesn’t want to help you, but this ‘Dao de Jing’. Even if it’s a cultivation technique that I cultivate, I can’t just give it to you like this.”
The cultivation technique that the Grand Supreme Lao Jun cultivated was also a heaven-defying cultivation technique in the ‘tomorrow’system. Naturally, it wouldn’t be given to a player so casually.
Other than being a god, Meng Jingtian was still a player!
“Then how can senior brother give it to me?”Meng Jingtian heard what he said and knew that the hand system probably had restrictions, so he asked.
Old Lord didn’t directly say that it couldn’t be given, but it couldn’t be given just like that. There must be a related quest that could be obtained after completing the quest.
“Come again when you reach level 120!”Old Lord waved his hand and said.
The corner of Meng Jingtian’s mouth twitched. This quest had a level limit, and he couldn’t accept it now.
He was only level 86. If he waited until level 120 to come back, it was still very early. He was afraid that it would be too late.
“Sorry to Bother You!”Helplessly, Meng Jingtian said goodbye to the Grand Supreme Lao Jun and left the Heavenly Dao Academy.
