This person,

seems indifferent to everything.

Even the Wang Family appears unremarkable to him, except for his interest in the Ghost Script.

The key is,

no matter the time or place, he always gives off a feeling of being in complete control, as if he could suppress any unforeseen events.

This is an unimaginable confidence.

"However, truly capable people are few and far between. If you can recruit him, it would be beneficial for future endeavors." Wang Qi pondered:

"For now, personally escort him to the Library Pavilion."

Wang Zixi looked up, her beautiful eyes shimmering, and nodded:

"Yes."

......

In a certain club.

A young man in a white suit lay on a soft sofa, eyes narrowed, as he listened to the report of someone beside him.

"So..."

He pursed his lips and said:

"My ’father’ has found his biological daughter?"

"Yes." The butler nodded:

"Young Master Jun, what should we do?"

"Ah!"

Wang Jun sat up and shook his head:

"Back then, grandfather had me recognize Wang Qi as my father, just thinking that one day when he passes, I could inherit his line’s assets."

"What a pity!"

"For years, I’ve stayed by this ’father,’ but unfortunately, he never acknowledged me as his son, what can be done?"

"Young Master." The butler spoke:

"Your entrance into Wang Qi’s fold was decided by the clan elders. Even if he found his daughter, the estate still has your share."

"Hmph!" Wang Jun squinted:

"You don’t know the style of this ’father’ of mine. Not finding a daughter was one thing, but if he does, how would he allow me to compare to his biological daughter?"

"My days will be hard from now on!"

"Brother Jun."

Not far away, a young man spoke with dissatisfaction:

"I just don’t understand, Wang Qi is just a worthless man and has offended the Li Family. Why does the family still try every way to protect him?"

"Heh..." Wang Jun squinted and said:

"That I know."

"This ’father’ of mine, to avoid being abandoned by the family, has used Talismanic Magic to link his life with several old guys in the family."

"If he dies, those people will die too!"

"So when that Li family member was furious, those old guys still had to protect him, and even now dare not let him die."

"Moreover, someone wants to covet his Talismanic Magic, so they care for him well, but unfortunately cannot extract anything from him."

Talismanic Magic?

The butler and the young man fell silent.

These words are taboo in the Wang Family, back then because of Wang Qi’s recklessness, the whole Wang Family almost fell apart.

Moreover, the power of Talismanic Magic is well-known; if grasped, one could almost do anything as long as they remain low-key.

Who doesn’t want it?

"Then kill her!"

The young man suddenly spoke:

"Kill her, and without his daughter, the estate will still belong to Brother Jun."

"She hasn’t been included in the Wang family genealogy yet, killing her won’t be too troublesome. As for Wang Qi... so many people in the family wish he were dead, even if he disagrees, what can he do? After the family has supported him for years, do they have to support his daughter too?"

Murder!

The words from the young man’s mouth caused no surprise on others’ faces; to them, killing seemed ordinary.

A low-key black sedan drove out from the traffic, entered a secluded path, after several interceptions, finally arrived in front of a museum-like building.

The car door opened.

Wang Zixi stepped out first, then opened the door of Fang Zheng’s car.

"Daoist, this is the Wang Family’s Library Pavilion."

Clearly, she had done some homework before coming, and introduced:

"The Wang Family has existed for over two thousand years, and the abundance of their collection is rarely seen, it’s almost the family’s ingrained instinct to collect worldly books."

"Though some books were inevitably lost through wars, the sheer number remains astonishing, even the national library occasionally borrows from the Wang Family."

"This way!"

The two entered the building, towering columns of over ten meters supported the vast dome, countless books densely crammed onto the shelves.

"The books outside are ordinary."

Wang Zixi took out a tablet, swiped it, and pointed to the left:

"The items the Daoist wants to see are over there."

The Ghost Script in the Wang Family’s Library Pavilion is categorized under Oracle Bone Script, with numerous other unknown characters.

In front of each row of bookshelves is a screen.

The screen connects to the management center of the Wang Family’s Library Pavilion, allowing document viewing, or touching the physical books.

Unnoticed.

Wang Zixi was no longer beside him.

Fang Zheng accessed the management center to find what he wanted.

Ghost Script!

Ghost Script on over a dozen stelae!

These came from various excavated ruins, equally incomplete, mostly prayers, seeking blessings.

With many scattered pieces, they could barely be pieced together to form something.

"Wudang Mountain, Lianyun Mountain Range, Mang Mountain..."

"Everywhere, indeed."

Fang Zheng rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

According to his previous speculation, five deities should have escaped to Earth through some Dharma Gate to avoid the pursuit of the Celestial Masters.

Alas.

In the end, it was hard to escape disaster.

But the problem is.

The records concerning these five deities are found in various places, and even the timelines are different, spanning thousands of years.

The first deity appeared long before the Qin dynasty unified the world, while the last record was from the early Ming dynasty.

How could this be?

Could it be...

They did not arrive on Earth together?

Or,

even if they came together, they arrived at different places and times?

However, it is certain that the deities did not die immediately upon arriving on Earth but left some things behind before falling.

Therefore,

there are records in Ghost Script.

"Hmm?"

Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow:

"Divine Art!"

This relic seemed to be personally written by one of the deities, describing the difference between Divine Art and ordinary magic, with few words yet profound meaning.

The Divine Soul Technique!

It turns out that the ’Divine’ here refers not only to deities but also to the Primordial Spirit, the Divine Soul.

So...

Is Divine Art a technique that directly targets the Primordial Spirit?

Fang Zheng pondered.

Ordinary Dharma Gates mostly use mana to drive, strengthening the Primordial Spirit little by little through various means, such as body tempering and the Observation Method.

They cannot directly target the Primordial Spirit.

Even if they do,

one must wait until becoming a Great Mage or Master to sense the existence of the Primordial Spirit before acting on it.

But Divine Art,

directly starts from the Primordial Spirit and then affects the body and Divine Thought in reverse.

Magic and Martial Arts progress from external to internal, from weak to strong, step by step; Divine Art, however, traces back to the root, from internal to external.

"However..."

"There shouldn’t be any more talk of Divine Art now, right?"

"Strange!"

"Then why is the magic used by deities also called Divine Art? Or is it that deities can only use Divine Art and not use magic or martial arts?"

Unable to comprehend after much thought, Fang Zheng continued to read downward.

Seven Kills Spell!

Divine Art!

Fang Zheng’s heart tightened, examining it closely.

The Seven Kills Spell is a Divine Art that can connect with the Life Soul. Once cast, the caster’s explosive power and lethality increase dramatically.

In other words...

The overall strength improves.

Somewhat similar to the Celestial Demon Dissolution Technique, only the side effects are much weaker, and after complete mastery, one can even be immune to the side effects.

Fang Zheng’s eyes flickered, and various Dharma Gates emerged in his Sea of Consciousness.

One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash!

Celestial Secret Compass!

Energy Union Seal!

Celestial Spirit Technique!

Seven Kills Spell!

...

These all seem to be techniques targeting the Primordial Spirit.

"Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, the Three Souls being the Celestial Soul, Earth Soul, and Life Soul, while the Seven Spirits are Essence, Vitality, Energy, Strength, Central, Spiritual Wisdom, and Celestial Impact."

"Soul and Spirit each point to something specific."

"The One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash is a pure Saber Technique, capable of attacking the human heart, corresponding to the Spiritual Wisdom Spirit, eliminating distractions, and giving rise to wisdom."

The wisdom spoken of in Daoist Skill is not about being clever or extremely nimble-minded, but the ability to see through illusion and directly grasp the essence of everything.

Therefore,

The One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash corresponds to the Spiritual Wisdom Spirit.

"The Celestial Secret Compass can deduce all things, solve doubts, and evolve endlessly. It should correspond to the Celestial Impact Spirit of human thought."

Thought,

is not wisdom.

A person’s mind may wander a thousand times, but that doesn’t mean they possess wisdom.

The Celestial Secret Compass embodies all the learning of Master Jiuyuan, far superior in grade to other Divine Arts, yet it still targets the Celestial Impact Spirit.

"The Energy Union Seal corresponds to Momentum."

"The Celestial Spirit Technique corresponds to Essence."

"The Seven Kills Spell might correspond to the Life Soul or perhaps the Central Spirit."

Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze, looked at an approaching person, and slowly spoke:

"Can you wait until I’ve finished reading before taking action?"

The newcomer paused, then immediately displayed a vicious expression, extending a hand to reveal a dagger from his sleeve, stabbing towards Fang Zheng’s neck.

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced a neck.

But it was not Fang Zheng’s; it was the neck of the one attacking.

Fang Zheng put down his sleeve, glanced at the record before him, and suddenly felt a sense of meaninglessness, shaking his head and sighing involuntarily.
