He had to get the Power Grimoire before Black Fox King arrived!
Zhou Yuan clearly remembered the plot. On the second floor of the Sutra Depository, there was a hidden mechanism that hid the Power Codex.
The way to trigger the mechanism was to turn a golden Buddha statue.
It was currently lunchtime, and the monks in the Sutra Library had already gone to eat. Only Zhou Yuan was left, so it was a good time to act.
He calmly walked to the second floor and observed for a while. In a small library, he saw an ancient golden Buddha statue.
This should be the place!
Zhou Yuan confirmed that there was no one around and turned the Golden Buddha. Immediately, the sound of a mechanism operating could be heard from under the floor.
A piece of floor slid open, and a stone platform rose from below. On the stone platform was an ancient scripture with four big words written on the cover:
The Book of Power
When Zhou Yuan saw this book, he was rather excited. He did not know what was recorded inside.
He reached out and opened the grimoire.
Although this wasn't the behavior of a gentleman, Zhou Yuan couldn't care less. Otherwise, when Black Fox King arrived, he would miss this opportunity.
Moreover, the abbot Sanzang had promised that he could read it at will in the Sutra Depository.
Although this Power Codex was hidden rather well, it was still considered a collection of books in the Sutra Depository. Hence, Zhou Yuan did not violate the rules.
He opened the first page of the grimoire.
It was a neat line of traditional Chinese characters:
Karma Sutra of Past, Present, Future
"Through the past, one can control the present and know the future. This is true power, not something that the secular emperors and generals can compare to!”
"I see that people pursue fame and fortune, sink into illusions, and do not know how to transcend. Therefore, copying the method of liberation is called the power treasure book!”
"Those who can comprehend it will transcend all things, have no life or death, and will not enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
"The grimoire is divided into two volumes, a total of five chapters: Past, present, future, cause and effect.”
"Cultivators must be extremely calm and pure before they can comprehend. If they have selfish thoughts, they must not forcefully comprehend. Otherwise, they will fall into the devil path and never be able to transcend.”
Zhou Yuan was shocked after reading the first page.
This Power Grimoire was indeed extraordinary. It actually involved the mysteries of time and space.
No wonder Black Fox King coveted it so much!
If he fully comprehended it, he would not only dominate the martial arts world in the Central Plains and the world, but he would also become a giant in the Heavenly Immortal World.
However, when Zhou Yuan flipped to the second page,
He realized that this Power Grimoire was not so easy to comprehend.
Most of them were rare and complicated ancient characters and symbols. Moreover, there was no connection between the characters, and the sentences were not fluent.
These scriptures were like a plate of loose sand, chaotic and disorderly.
Even with Zhou Yuan's comprehension ability, he had no clue in a short period of time.
Moreover, this was only the first volume of the Power Treasure Scripture. Without the second volume, it would be ten thousand times more difficult to comprehend.
This was probably the intention of the author of the power treasure book.
The two volumes were inseparable and referred to each other.
It was as if Yin and Yang were divided, and neither was dispensable.
The first volume was kept in the Shaolin Temple's collection, and the second volume was long gone.
Even though Zhou Yuan had seen the anime and knew the plot, he didn't know where the second volume was.
"The most important thing now is not to comprehend the Power Grimoire, but to deal with Black Fox King.”
Zhou Yuan pondered. There was still one more afternoon. The Black Fox King would sneak into the Shaolin Temple at dusk and steal the Power Grimoire.
With Black Fox King's thousand-year-old demonic strength, Shaolin Temple could not do anything to him.
If it couldn't get the Power Codex, it would probably tear down the entire Shaolin Temple.
This would mean losing a good place to cultivate.
Even if Zhou Yuan could take the Power Grimoire and sneak away,
However, this would ruin the later part of the plot and cause a chain reaction, causing him to miss many opportunities.
" No, I must let Black Fox King get the Power Grimoire…"
Zhou Yuan smiled and suddenly had an idea.
Forging a fake power book!
It was impossible for him to hand over the true power treasure to Black Fox King.
After all, Master Black Fox would be his greatest enemy in the future. He naturally could not do such a thing.
Therefore, the best way was to imitate the real power book and make a fake one to fool him.
However, King Black Fox was a thousand-year-old demon. He was cunning and would not be easily deceived.
In the Sutra Depository, there were many old pulp papers and tools for making books.
Without further ado, Zhou Yuan began to imitate the Power Codex and forge it.
The ancient book creation technique was not very advanced. With Zhou Yuan's comprehension and learning ability, it was naturally very simple.
In less than an hour, Zhou Yuan had finished producing a wordless grimoire with a total of 100 pages.
The most important thing was, what was written in this fake grimoire?
The words in the Power Treasure Book were too complicated and it was very troublesome to copy them. If he used them as a basis to forge, it would be a waste of time. An afternoon would not be enough.
Furthermore, Zhou Yuan did not want to copy a single word into the fake grimoire.
If he benefited from it and Master Black Fox figured out some secrets, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
"We can't copy the ancient characters in the True Grimoire, but he can see through the ordinary Chinese characters at a glance. We definitely can't fool him.”
Zhou Yuan grabbed the pen and hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he decided to write in the Latin-script, which was also the Western script.
Zhou Yuan, a transmigrator, was very familiar with the foreign language. However, to Black Fox King, it was completely out of his reach.
Zhou Yuan's writing was as if he had a spirit. He circulated his True Qi and within two hours, he had filled the hundred plus blank pages of the fake grimoire with foreign words.
As for the content, it was all improvised by him.
When Black Fox King flipped through it, he would definitely be amazed.
On the cover of the fake grimoire, he wrote the words 'Power Grimoire.'
Finally, Zhou Yuan used his True Qi and dust to wash the fake grimoire, making it look old and simple.
Success.
He placed the fake grimoire back into the mechanical box under the floor.
As for the True Treasured Bible, it was kept by Zhou Yuan.
Although this kind of behavior was like exchanging a leopard for a crown prince,
But it was better than letting Black Fox King have it.
At this moment,
The sun was setting in the west, and it was already sunset.
A black shadow silently floated up from the quiet Mount Song forest.
