Zhang Ze was unaware of the system mocking him behind his back; he was currently engrossed in reading the "Mountain and Sea Hundred Gods List." This book was flown back by Old Ascender using a Sword Book. He folded the entire book into the shape of a Paper Sword and tossed it, nailing it in Zhang Ze’s courtyard. Old Ascender’s methods were quite amazing. Under the effects of technique and spells, the book could actually revert to its original form. Zhang Ze had reason to suspect that when Old Ascender had nothing to do, he probably spent a lot of time folding paper for fun. On the bright side, he certainly won’t suffer from dementia in the future... But can dementia happen even after achieving Immortal Cultivation? "I think you’re pondering some very rude thoughts," Li, sitting in Zhang Ze’s lap, said. "You’re overthinking. I’m not thinking about anything." Zhang spoke earnestly, showing no signs of deceit. Li pouted, stopped bantering with Zhang Ze, and urged him to turn the pages quickly. It wanted to know if its name was in there. This thing is titled "Mountain and Sea Hundred Gods List," and since the Village is already recorded in it, as the Ancestral Dragon on par with the Village, its name should definitely be there. However, Zhang Ze reached the end and still couldn’t find Li. "Fake, this book must be fake." Li squirmed in Zhang Ze’s lap. "Not necessarily. I think this book is quite authentic. It’s called ’Mountain and Sea Hundred Gods List,’ not ’Mountain and Sea Food Barrel List.’ These Innate Gods and Demons and Spirit Beasts, regardless of good or evil, have some use after being worshipped. What use are you?" Zhang Ze put down the book and rubbed Li’s dragon head. "I..." Li opened its mouth for a while, seemingly unable to think of any use it had. Zhang Ze sighed and said, "Look at this one, the Evil God Void Wolf. It requires the sacrifice of a hundred people, then grants the sacrificer a Wolf Soul. Such savings, a hundred people per worship, with no specific person required, and you get a super Wolf Soul Warrior. Look, a perpetual war machine, right?" "I don’t eat people!" Li continued to argue. "Yes, you don’t eat people; you gnaw on others’ properties. Who could afford your consumption? Back during the Primordial Catastrophe, likely you were the one being beaten because everyone thought you ate too much and ganged up against you." Zhang Ze continued to poke at Li’s heart. "Hmph, if you have the guts, don’t want me. I’ll leave." With that, Li began pushing outward, planning to run away from home. Once Zhang Ze pulled Li back, he didn’t console it but changed the subject instead. "Do you think the Stone Pill transformed into this thing?" Zhang Ze pointed to a book page in front of him, where a large sphere was depicted, surrounded by countless small people worshiping it. [Wheel Master, worshippers live forever] Just this simple sentence, and nothing more. "Why? Just because this also looks like a sphere?" "Yes, it’s the only spherical thing in the entire book." "Just kidding, let’s go see Xiaoxuan and give her this book. We don’t have much use for it except idle chatter." "Okay." Li smoothly climbed onto Zhang Ze’s shoulder. Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, Black Tower. As the first wonder of Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, this cool Black Tower is developing towards a well; the above-ground part remains unchanged, but the underground part keeps expanding. Digging deeper and deeper. This place has become a comprehensive research facility. Researching Stone Pills and other related things. Recently they’ve added a new project — researching the Innate Tao Embryo. After discussions and deductions by Xiaoxuan, Big Head, and several academia-loving Elders from Dragon Tiger Mountain and Sword Sect, they came up with a hypothesis. That Innate Gods and Demons condense into Innate Tao Embryos after dying, and some of these Embryos may naturally transform into other things over time, like the Carefree Sect’s broken treasure vault. Or like the Stone Pill, artificially refined into a special Magical Artifact. The Hundred Demons Sect most likely mastered one or both of these aspects. Judging from the time of the Hundred Demons Sect’s emergence, they likely obtained part of the Eastern Qi Royal Family’s legacy. Because Xiaoxuan and Big Head are clearly Eastern Qi’s results of researching and deducing after discovering the Stone Pill. As for the Stone Pill itself, it remains undecided. Most Elders believe the Stone Pill appeared in the early Ten Kingdoms Chaos, or even earlier. Updates are released by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 But the exact timing is still debated because the time span of the Divine Souls hidden in the Stone Pill is too vast... Dragon Tiger Mountain has promised that they will soon send out their own tomb-raiding team, led by Heavenly Master Hu, to excavate relics from the Ten Kingdoms Chaos period. Given that they can find it. Meanwhile, they also plan to speed up the process of the Stone Pill summoning... The summonable beings from the Stone Pill are quite diverse. Aside from the Food Barrel Dragon, Phoenix Chicken, Golden Retriever, Demon Race, Double Yolker, Primordial Female Warrior, now even humans are included. "Ah, sorry about that." Zhang Ze, thinking about the Stone Pill, bumped into the girl reincarnated from the Stone Pill at a corner. The girl smiled at him, said nothing, and with a box of Jade Scrolls in her hands, stepped aside. This girl is a mute lady who wrote that she is from the Liao Kingdom of the Ten Kingdoms era, her home being north of Xiao Mountain. As for the rest, she doesn’t remember. This girl isn’t even a cultivator; she’s just an ordinary person. However, due to her somewhat special identity, she also resides within the Black Tower, helping with clerical tasks. She was summoned by Grandma Li of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, who is now treating this girl like her granddaughter, naming her Xiaoxiao.
