"Come back!" shouted an extremely loud voice. It came from the ground, startling Lin Feng. He immediately descended back to the ground again.
Yan Di was standing there looking at the sky. (Editor's note: I'm going to try and change Qiong Qi to Yan Di from here on out.)
"What's going on?" asked Lin Feng. How come that light had pierced through the sky?
Yan Di narrowed his eyes and said, "Where did that light come from?"
"I'm asking you!" insisted Lin Feng fixedly, staring back at Yan Di.
"I don't need to tell you, you'll find out soon." replied Yan Di before adding, "Did you get the three lives scriptures?"
Lin Feng studied Yan Di's face for any clues, but it was too difficult to get any answers from him. Lin Feng landed on the ground and took out the one-paged golden scripture.
"Bzzz!" Yan Di landed next to Lin Feng and looked at the scripture Lin Feng was holding. The seal was broken and there were three gigantic words written on the book: three lives scriptures!
"Three lives scriptures!" Lin Feng became more excited.
"What was the light a moment ago? You know what it was, right?" asked Lin Feng.
"Did you sense anything?" asked Yan Di.
Lin Feng again stared at him, he opened his mouth and said slowly, "My vitality was stimulated!"
"Your vitality!" Yan Di had millions of thoughts running in his head.
"And…" said Lin Feng. Yan Di seemed captivated, he was fixedly staring at Lin Feng, motionless.
"And it also strongly affected my soul!" said Lin Feng. Yan Di took a deep breathe. His soul was affected… Empress Xi!
Yan Di looked at the sky and whispered, "Empress Xi, you died for cultivation, but did you really die?"
"What do you mean?" asked Lin Feng. What did that have to do with Empress Xi? Yan Di had told him before, that he wanted to go to Empress Xi's grave to find the three lives scriptures.
"Don't ask so many questions. You don't need to know that much. I told you, now that I got the nine netherworlds demon lotus, everything else is yours. You should study the three lives scriptures very, very seriously. It's perfect for you. When you're done reading it, lend it to me and I'll help you practice it!" said Yan Di smiling.
"Lin Feng, we're going to have a rest!" said Xin Ye and Liu Fei smiling at Lin Feng. They realized that he was going to busy now, so they left.
Yan Di rose up in the sky, towards the hole in the deployment spell.
Lin Feng sat down cross-legged and started reading the three lives scriptures. He used his godly awareness to inspect it. A strength attracted his godly awareness like a magnet and then scriptures flew into Lin Feng's brain.
After a long time, Lin Feng recalled his godly awareness from the book and looked pensive.
"Three lives scriptures, three lives, but not three bodies!" whispered Lin Feng. He now understood what three lives scriptures meant. Many people had previously made the same mistake, they all thought of the three lives scriptures as the three bodies scriptures.
"Nobody understands those scriptures properly!" whispered Lin Feng. Did the three lives great emperor actually have three bodies and three lives?
"Initially, I thought that he had three skills: human, demon and Buddha, but I was so far from the truth." thought Lin Feng. He remembered when the three-lives demon emperor had transmitted knowledge to him. He had always called that knowledge the three lives demon scriptures or the strength of the Heruka or whatever else, but he was wrong. Actually, those were only the demonic spells that the three lives great emperor had practiced, only a part of his scriptures.
"Xin Ye, Yue Xin!" suddenly thought Lin Feng as he raised his head. He looked at the sky, wondering where that light went?
"Emperor!" shouted Lin Feng suddenly. A strong wind blew and a silhouette appeared in front of him, he was giggling and looking at Lin Feng in a mischievous way.
"Little boy, do you need me to help you practice those spells?" asked Yan Di smiling.
"Three lives scriptures!" Lin Feng took out the one-paged golden scripture and gave it to Yan Di. Yan Di took it and inspected it with his dazzling, fire godly awareness. He soon came back to his senses, much faster than Lin Feng.
"These three lives scriptures are amazing." said Yan Di.
"The three lives of all sentient beings: past, present and future." whispered Lin Feng. Yan Di glanced at him and they both smiled.
"Emperor, do you want to practice it?" asked Lin Feng.
"Nah, I still want to practice fire cultivation, it's better for me at this point." said Yan Di before giving back the one-paged golden scripture. Then he asked, "What about you?"
"Of course I have to practice them." said Lin Feng smiling. Yan Di looked surprised as he said, "You want to study the three lives scriptures!"
"Even if I don't study the three lives techniques and spells, I can study the imperial scriptures it contains because they can be applied to many other things." explained Lin Feng.
Yan Di frowned as if he had thought about something. He looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "I can't wait for the day when you master the three lives scriptures. The three lives great emperor made many mistakes while using them, but maybe you'll do better than him."
"The three lives great emperor made mistakes?" Lin Feng was confused. How mysterious was that comment? But Lin Feng couldn't ask anything, Yan Di never answered his questions.
"First, you need to make your soul even stronger." said Yan Di. Then his silhouette flickered and he left.
Lin Feng watched as Yan Di disappeared and smiled indifferently, "I forgot to tell you something, I already practice the surplus soul technique. Although it was extremely painful, I'm used to it by now!"
Afer Yan Di left, Lin Feng didn't study the three lives scriptures anymore. He shook his hand and took out another book: a one-paged golden scripture. It looked exactly like the book with the three lives scriptures, it was even made of the same material. Plus, there was a powerful seal on it as well.
"There's a seal here, but it's not as powerful as the other one!" Lin Feng struck it with his hand and the seal broke. It was exactly the same type of book as the three lives scriptures. Those two books had been written by the same person!
"Ten Thousand Things of Creation Scriptures!" read Lin Feng.
Lin Feng then began reading the book with his godly awareness.
