Chapter 643: Chapter 613: Such a Selection

Yi Zheng paid no attention to them; instead, he went around the mountain to ensure that those fellows had taken down the banners and ended their celebrations, before humming a tune and returning to the Book Collection Pavilion.

In the Book Collection Pavilion, Lingyu was seated under an old locust tree reading a book. Seeing Yi Zheng return, he nodded slightly, "Little Junior Brother, have you returned?"

Yi Zheng approached respectfully, "Ah, yes, I have returned."

Yi Zheng always had great respect for those who treated him well.

Lingyu asked, "Did the Queen Mother ask for you for something?"

Yi Zheng had been looking for a place to vent his frustrations. He simply sat down on the spot and told Lingyu about the tasks the Queen Mother had entrusted to him.

The task of competing for the position of Jade Rabbit wasn’t a secret. Yi Zheng believed that it would soon be known to everyone under All Heavens.

He talked to Lingyu, partly to complain and partly to hear Lingyu’s opinions.

In Yi Zheng’s eyes, of all the people he had met, only Wenqu Star Lord and Lingyu seemed more like scholars.

Lingyu set down his book, and his handsome face slightly furrowed, "Rabbit, this situation of yours is somewhat dangerous."

Yi Zheng was startled. He knew there were risks, but he didn’t think they were significant.

After all, competing with a group of rabbits for the position of the Jade Rabbit was something he felt quite confident about.

Competing for the position, he didn’t believe that holding the Kunlun Mirror and having his pet, the Peng Demon King, plus the possibility of calling the Four Calamities of Kunlun in a critical moment, would pose much danger...

He thought to himself that this task was not very difficult.

Then he heard Lingyu say, "Little Junior Brother, you must not be careless. This task seems simple, but in fact, it is fraught with hidden dangers.

Even though you have a top-notch treasure and a powerful pet, this task is still very dangerous for you."

Yi Zheng, puzzled, looked at Lingyu, "Elder Brother, what do you mean by that? Do you know something?"

Lingyu shook his head, "There’s no need to know anything, for the matter is quite simple. Think about who gave you this task?"

The image of the Queen Mother flashed through Yi Zheng’s mind, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, somewhat understanding Lingyu’s point.

Lingyu continued, "

It’s rare within the myriad worlds of All Heavens for the Queen Mother herself to step in.

And for such a significant cause and effect to arise, it’s definitely not a trivial matter.

However dangerous, you must accept it, or it will be even more perilous."

Yi Zheng understood Lingyu’s point. Directly refusing the Queen Mother, who might become furious even with the protection of the Queen Mother of the West, would still make Yi Zheng’s life very difficult. After all, it was the Queen Mother!

Lingyu stood up, "Little Junior Brother, wait here for a moment."

Then Lingyu walked into the Scripture House, and Yi Zheng vaguely saw him going upstairs.

"Isn’t he the first floor administrator? How can he go up?" Yi Zheng was full of doubts.

It wasn’t long before Lingyu came down, holding a stack of books in his arms. He sat down calmly in front of Yi Zheng, "These books contain some ancient secrets; some have been sealed for a long time, others are recent works written by some great scholars after their consultations and thoughts.

When you have time, you might read them, as they may help you with your upcoming tasks."

After speaking, Lingyu added, "Of course, it’s better to have no books than to believe in them completely, since books are ultimately written by people. Anyone who writes, no matter how objectively, brings a subjective element, and these elements are often misleading.

Thus, you should only refer to them and not fully believe them."

Yi Zheng quickly stood up to give thanks, while Lingyu shook his head, "You are our Little Junior Brother, and we naturally need to take care of you. However, there are some things we can’t help much with. We will do our best wherever we can."

Yi Zheng thanked again, gazing at Lingyu before him, Yi Zheng thought of the brothers from the Chopping Wood Sect who had truly treated him well.

After seeing off Lingyu, Yi Zheng sent a clone to the backyard to continue his rigorous training in the "Power Technique," or to comprehend the Swallowing Dao...

Meanwhile, he himself began to flip through the books page by page.

Unknown until seen, the more he looked, the more his heart raced with shock!

After ten days, Yi Zheng had finished reading all the books, his eyes somewhat grave.

The books were not complete; many were missing pages, as if someone had torn them out.

But even looking at the remaining information was enough to give Yi Zheng a real shock.

Firstly, about Kunlun Mountain, West Kunlun was originally given to the Queen Mother of the West by Lady Houtu, before that East King and Ice Woman each occupied a part. So, where did the Queen Mother’s Kunlun Mountain come from?

It’s rumored that the Queen Mother had snatched it from the Queen Mother of the West, and so there has always been a conflict between the two.

However, according to Yi Zheng’s understanding of the Queen Mother of the West, if it were really snatched by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother of the West would either tear apart the heavens or never attend any of the Queen Mother’s events, opting instead to never deal with her again, a severance in secret being the most likely.

But that wasn’t the case.

The Queen Mother of the West disliked the Queen Mother, attending the Pan Peach Festival was also to eat a few more Pan Peaches, taking small advantages to annoy the other intentionally. There was no major enmity...

So, that claim doesn’t hold much water.

But the content recorded in the books is such; the book stated, "The Queen Mother bearing heavenly authority, sheared Kunlun into the Heavenly Court."

That is to say, the Queen Mother truly cut through half of Kunlun into the Heavenly Court; then why didn’t the Queen Mother of the West get angry?

Was it the celestial authority carried by the Queen Mother? Was it the Jade Emperor, The Three Pure Ones, or Hongjun?

Or was it someone else?

The book also wrote, in the ancient wars, True Lord Taiyin, Chang Xi died above the Moon, from then on the Moon turned into a land of death, drained of spiritual energy, a place of annihilation, no longer a sacred land of heaven and earth, barring the osmanthus tree, nothing else remains.

Chang’e mistakenly consumed the immortal pill on the Moon, perhaps it was neither a mistake nor theft...

...

The book revealed many ancient secrets, but all were missing the following context at crucial moments. Even the new works by the Great Scholar only penned various bold conjectures, leaving Yi Zheng muddled and somewhat chilled to the spine.

Just as Lingyu had said, this task was not so simple.

A month quickly passed, and the one to pick up Yi Zheng this time was not Gold Star Taibai but the Purple-Clothed Immortal.

Seeing Yi Zheng, the Purple-Clothed Immortal asked with concern, "Rabbit, how have your recent preparations been?"

Yi Zheng grimly said, "Prepare what? I don’t even know what the situation over there is like."

The Purple-Clothed Immortal pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, knowing or not knowing is all the same, because this is the Jade Rabbit Selection, not some grand martial contest. As long as Chang’e likes you, you can be selected."

Yi Zheng was stunned, "Then what does Chang’e like?"

The Purple-Clothed Immortal looked at Yi Zheng, then shook her head, "Well... she likes them cute, pretty, and well-behaved. Honestly, your chances aren’t great...

Others’ rabbits, those are cultivated specifically to cater to Chang’e’s preferences."

Yi Zheng was immediately dumbfounded, "What do you mean?

If I have no chance, why would the Queen Mother choose me?"
