A minor change might ultimately lead to a world-shaking transformation.
Yu Ziqing found a record, using the Earth Deity Origin to awaken the residual Dao resonance, silently bringing about change.
In the Langya Institute, the task of organizing the library and searching for the catalog of destroyed manuscripts is nearly complete.
The number of destroyed manuscripts is so large; however, comparing with the old catalog, most are recoverable as they are not unique copies or out-of-print books.
Even so True Intent Classics actually have substitutes.
This is because many cultivators who have studied at the Langya Institute, upon reaching a certain realm, like to inscribe their proficient Dharma thods into True Intent Classics.
Being included in the Langya Institute's library is considered a high honor and a long-standing tradition.
Thus, for the sa Dharma thod, there might be nurous True Intent Classics.
This is the favorable aspect.
The unfavorable aspect is that the Langya Institute demands new insights or distinctiveness for existing True Intent Classics.
Therefore, you would rarely see the sa True Intent in a single Dharma thod.
It's sowhat similar to certain Divine Skills in Body Cultivation, like the "half-step", where there are multiple directional choices even for the sa skill.
Besides the lost True Intent Classics, there are so pure knowledge classics, so of which are unique copies.
So travelogue classics, if written by powerful authors with strong spirit, can fully imrse the reader even if they are rely travel notes.
Insight and heart thod classics are truly the blood loss; such ambiance and insight, even for the original author, once disconnected from the forr state, might never efficiently recreate an identical classic.
The loss is so great that upon obtaining the missing list, Cheng Jing couldn't discern exactly which classics were targeted for destruction.
This extensive investigation, consuming a substantial amount of ti, hasn't been without rewards.
For instance, in the past couple of days, buried in piles of old paper, they found certain records hidden within an ordinary travelogue classic.
This is sothing a Qi Refinent cultivator recorded before ancient tis.
He was naturally frail, with a withered Qi Sea and weak body, barely able to do Qi Refinent, but his Divine Soul was innately strong.
Assuming his life would thus end, he discovered the potential for Refining God.
Within the record, he expressed gratitude towards a powerful cultivator nad Shi, who paved the Refining God Path.
After Shi's fall, he was overwheld with grief, composing a sacrificial text.
Even after a long ti, anyone would be profoundly affected by the sorrow in the sacrificial text, unable to compose themselves for days, overwheld with tears.
The classic, using an unknown beast skin as its dium, fell into Cheng Jing's hands.
On careful study, it appeared to be an ordinary travelogue, rely describing the pre-ancient era's elents.
The text is also pre-ancient, preserved for its linguistic value.
In his youth, he had once cracked the text on this classic.
Now upon revisiting, it is markedly different.
Because the character 'Shi', initially had many interpretations and anings.
Yet here, one glance clarifies that this character represents a person, a na.
This change was absent before.
Cheng Jing imdiately deduced that this was an artificial intervention, soone used Great Divine Power to solidify it.
When this character signifies the one who pioneered the Refining God Dao, no one would misunderstand.
When the aning of a crucial character changes, the entire record's ambiance changes.
The record, initially viewed as a travelogue, suddenly transford into a sacrificial text, overwhelming Cheng Jing with an inexplicable sense of grief.
No, it's not accurate, rather, the grief naturally welled up within him, from inside out.
Just the first third of the sacrificial text moved him to tears, his concentration shattered, his resolve wavered, plunging him into irreversible sorrow.
He forcefully suppressed the urge to continue reading, closed the classic, and shut his eyes.
After a full two-hour period, his eyes swollen and red, his heart slowly cald.
"Such intense intent, why was it imperceptible before?"
He realized the key was the fixed aning of the character, anchored to the correct interpretation, causing this change.
This wasn't a human alteration, but the original state.
They had two hypotheses once.
Using such precious unknown beast skin as a dium, it could endure for years without damage.
Such a species, now extinct, was surely a treasured entity then as well.
To use it for recording an ordinary travelogue, the person must've been a fool with wealth.
Another guess was, in those tis, this beast skin might not have been so precious, or the recorder might not have realized its value.
However, the sa material, rare now, passed through ti undiminished.
In any case, it was conjecture, baseless guesses.
Now it's confird, this material was indeed extraordinarily valuable, intended to endure through ages.
Yet now Cheng Jing observed another issue.
Such powerful intent, despite the passage of years, still rendered him uncontrollable, the entire Langya Institute had no one who could read it unaffected.
Everyone who finished reading it fell into such emotion for days, unable to extricate themselves.
Those lacking firm will could not even stop midway, compelled to read it in one go.
