Ruins of the past

In the library of Lingzhou Town Demon Division.

Chu Qiguang is reading a book related to the Tao of Immortals.

"Legend has it that the Tianshi Mansion discovered the first immortal person in the world."

"Believers who share the mysteries of the immortal."

"They swore an oath with the blood of the immortal and called themselves the Immortal Path."

"Because of the excessive pursuit of eternal life, I finally deviated from the right path."

"The behavior has also degenerated to an unsightly level."

"In the end, Immortality became a disaster."

"It is enough to show that the 'eternal life' of mortals is a cursed path."

While Chu Qiguang was reading the information in the book, he combined in his mind the information he had learned in the past: 'When the Tianshi Sect was first established, it was called the Tianshi Mansion. ’

"While studying the immortality, some believers became obsessed with the mystery of immortality, and gradually split off and became the immortal path today."

"Speaking of which, Lingzhou's ancient books are indeed mainly based on the Emperor's Way and the Immortal Way."

"These two sects have a deep imprint on the history of Lingzhou, and they have existed far longer than other sects."

After reading the book in his hand, Chu Qiguang suddenly felt a sense of joy coming from the Ring of Foolishness, and the memory of the book in his hand had completely disappeared.

"This is the seventh book recently, will there be another bye?"

The next moment, Chu Qiguang felt a force emerging from the Ring of Foolishness, like a flame burning in his chest.

However, this burning sensation disappeared in an instant, and only the faint residual warmth in his chest seemed to indicate that it was not an illusion.

Chu Qiguang took off his shirt and observed the Ring of Foolishness on his chest.

As his thoughts changed, the appearance of the Ring of Foolishness gradually appeared on the chest that originally looked ordinary.

The original Ring of Foolishness looked like a black hole the size of a palm, like a big hole in the chest, but the existence of the hole could not be felt to the touch.

At the edge of the black void, there is a circle of purple light flowing, which looks like a purple flame surrounding the void.

If you look carefully, you can vaguely see weird characters burning in the purple flames, but if you look closer, you can't see them clearly.

At this moment, the Ring of Foolishness on Chu Qiguang's chest had a new change.

In the originally bottomless black hole, a faint purple fire seemed to be flickering.

Seeing this change, Chu Qiguang suddenly reacted: 'Could it be that every time there is a bye, the Circle of Fool is secretly accumulating strength to make changes? ’

‘Could it be that while I was harvesting ancient books, the Ring of Foolishness was also harvesting me? ’

While Chu Qiguang was observing the changes in the Ring of Foolishness, lines of writing emerged from the seeker's eyes.

"The Ring of Foolishness."

"The mark on the cursed seeker."

"A person who has this ring of stupidity on his body can return to normal even if he is possessed by a demon."

"But the pursuit of knowledge will lead them to the path of demons again, and sooner or later they will become ignorant fools."

"The Ring of Foolishness comes from the gatekeeper of Heaven. Legend has it that he is the person closest to Heaven in the world."

"But just because it is too close, it is impossible to see the way of heaven."

"Then he cursed every seeker who came near."

"Those who bear this seal will have a stronger and stronger desire for the curse."

Chu Qiguang slowly recited the handwriting that appeared in his eyes, and found that the first half of the explanation was the same as before, and the second half was newly added.

‘The gatekeeper of heaven? What kind of guy is this? ’

‘The Ring of Foolishness is a curse cast by this person? But when did I meet this person? ’

‘I haven’t seen Heavenly Dao either, right? ’

Until now, Chu Qiguang still doesn't understand what the so-called Heavenly Dao is, and he knows nothing about the gatekeeper of Heavenly Dao.

He could only keep this information in mind for the time being and continue to look down.

"The desire for the curse will become stronger? In other words, the desire for the Ring of Foolishness will become stronger?"

Chu Qiguang couldn't figure out what this meant for a while.

He thought about it and quickly reread the book in his hand, recording the contents of the book in his mind.

Then he chose the next ancient book and started reading it, hoping to see if there would be any changes in the Ring of Foolishness.

As his eyes looked at the new book, lines of writing emerged from his eyes.

"The good news of God in heaven."

"It is said that if you read this scripture carefully, you can see the distant world of Huangtian."

"Pious believers read this sutra in order to go to the world of the emperor."

"Even if he doesn't even know the name of God."

After reading this book of Emperor Tian Dao, Chu Qiguang finally felt the emergence of gifts.

Rows of options emerged in his mind.

Hunyuan Taiyi Demonic Kung Fu (4), Hell's Twelve Shocking Palms (1), Moving Stars and Cloud Steps (4), Blood-activating Technique (4), Bai Lanxuan's Seven-speed Move (1), Steel and Iron Bone Kung Fu ( 4), Diamond Interpretation (4)...

What surprised him this time was that the gift did not dissipate or feel rushed.

It just floated quietly in his mind, waiting for Chu Qiguang's choice.

Chu Qiguang had the courage not to make a choice, waiting for the change in the gift.

After about a minute, the gift returned to the Ring of Foolishness.

Chu Qiguang could feel...the gift was in the purple fire coming out of the black hole.

Then as Chu Qiguang called in his heart, the gift immediately came to his mind again.

After trying this several times, a flash of clarity flashed through Chu Qiguang's heart: "Can the gift released by the Circle of Fool be saved now?"

"Does this count as a skill point that I can keep aside temporarily? Can I use it when I need it again?"

Chu Qiguang's first thought was to keep the gift and use it at critical moments to strengthen a certain martial arts.

But soon he thought of another thing: 'Would it be possible to use the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique, the Immortal Seal Technique... or even the King of Sumeru Sutra... after accumulating enough gifts? Have you chosen? ’

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Chu Qiguang immediately decided to give it a try.

So he kept this gift for the time being and did not use it immediately.

Then Chu Qiguang read another scripture from Huangtian Dao, and this time the gift also emerged, and it could also be stored in the flames of the Ring of Foolishness.

‘Sure enough, the gift of the Ring of Foolishness can now be kept forever. ’

And Chu Qiguang's seeker's eyes looked at the purple fire on his chest, and he could actually see the difference between these two gifts today.

'A profound gift, a power from the depths of heaven, if used to learn knowledge, it will definitely be improved. ’

‘The Gift of Darkness, the gift passed down in the name of Void, has a twisted power that can change the face of knowledge. ’

According to Chu Qiguang's understanding, the so-called profound gift can be used to improve the level of a martial arts, just like raising the Diamond Interpretation from the third level to the fourth level.

The gift of darkness can completely change the martial arts learned by Chu Qiguang, just like the Hunyuan Taiyi Qigong in the past has become the Hunyuan Taiyi Demonic Kung Fu.

This was the first time that Chu Qiguang saw the specific information of the gift with the eyes of a seeker.

‘I’m afraid it’s also because the Ring of Foolishness can now store gifts. ’
