Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Five Hundred Years of Huaxia History?!
Chen Lan flipped to the last page of the book, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
It was blank!
Usually, the author and the publishing house would be written at the back.
But this book had nothing at all!
Feeling heavy-hearted, he placed the book back on the shelf and went to the computer at the front desk to find out where the book came from.
Using his ability to alter, he easily cracked the password and searched for "Five Thousand Years of Huaxia."
As expected, no such book was found!
This book seemed to have appeared out of thin air in this library.
Chen Lan instinctively used his Divine Sense to look at the bookshelf and was momentarily stunned before flashing to the front of it.
Seeing the vacant spot, he was taken aback.
The book was gone!
He distinctly remembered placing it here just now, yet it was nowhere to be seen!
He immediately expanded his Divine Sense to scan the whole of Huaxia but found nothing unusual.
He could confirm that no one had been here just now.
But how could the book have disappeared?
This matter was becoming more and more bizarre!
With this thought, he directly transmitted to Chen Mingyuan.
"Chen Mingyuan, help me check who the author of ’Five Thousand Years of History of Huaxia’ is."
When he saw Chen Mingyuan hearing his transmission, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly realized it was Chen Lan speaking to him. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke:
"Great Emperor, isn’t Huaxia only five hundred years old?"
In an instant, Chen Lan’s mind was struck like lightning, leaving him stunned.
Huaxia is only five hundred years old?
That’s right, the knowledge he learned from a young age was only five hundred years, from the birth of Qin Country to now, it’s exactly five hundred years.
But then why, when he just saw that book, did he feel no sense of discrepancy, and those histories seemed so familiar?
"Then help me check if anyone has written this kind of history book."
"Alright."
After finishing, Chen Lan no longer paid attention to it.
It was evident his memory had also been altered, and the memory of all humanity could potentially be altered.
This so-called game manifestation is definitely not simple, it must be hiding a huge conspiracy behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, Chen Lan smiled. This kind of exploration game, exploring the world, the feeling of step by step uncovering the truth, is truly exhilarating!
Since it’s a game, let’s play it well.
...
Field.
Chen Lan returned to the field.
At this time, everyone had stopped cultivating and were watching the Golden Elixir Rankings in the sky.
It turned out that the announcement had reached the top three, and the first place would soon be revealed.
"I can bet that the first place is still the Great Emperor, definitely can’t be wrong."
"I admire the Great Emperor so much, always the first on every ranking, who wouldn’t envy that."
"If I could be number one on any ranking and have my cultivation soar, I’d be willing."
"Why do you want it both ways, your dream is pretty sweet."
"I wonder what the next Gold Ranking will be."
Listening to everyone’s words, Chen Lan looked up at the Golden Ranking in the sky, just coming to the first place.
Rumble!
Thunder boomed in the sky, dark clouds receded, and golden light shone brightly!
A phenomenon appeared again!
And this time, it seemed even more extraordinary, the entire sky turned golden!
[First place, Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable, Grade Eight Elixir]
[Reward: Array Dao Divine Techniques, Auspicious Qilin]
With the announcement of the first place on the Golden Ranking, it actually started to rain!
And this time, unlike before, it rained tiny golden droplets all over Huaxia!
When people touched this golden rain, they surprisingly found their cultivation increasing!
"Whoa, it’s a divine rain that can increase cultivation!"
"It actually is, open your mouth and drink it!"
"Thank the Great Emperor for getting first place and letting us benefit!"
"This first place is amazing, actually benefiting all of humanity, the Great Emperor is awesome!"
"The Great Emperor is truly awesome!!!"
Although this golden rain was granted to humanity by the Golden Elixir Ranking, people instinctively first thanked Xiao Yao Celestial Venerable.
Not only were the cultivators happy, ordinary people also found this golden rain was nourishing their bodies, with some patients feeling their conditions had improved greatly!
Instantly, all the people of Huaxia ran out to catch the rain, with some even stripping down to their underwear dancing in the streets, while others collected the golden rain in containers.
Only to find out that once the golden rain reached the container, it instantly turned into ordinary clear water, with no more effects.
And this golden rain came suddenly and also left suddenly.
It lasted only ten seconds before dispersing.
But in those ten seconds, millions of people broke through their realms, increased their cultivation significantly, and many ordinary people felt their bodies restored to health, no longer feeling pain in their backs or legs.
...
Chen Lan rubbed the raindrops with his index finger and thumb, he could tell that this rainwater contained enormous amounts of Spiritual Qi.
For ordinary people, drinking a few drops was enough to cure all ailments, restore health, and even prolong life.
Cultivators could break through one or two small realms, while major realm improvements depended on their talent.
"Haha, breakthrough!"
"Me too, I broke through."
"Thank the Great Emperor, this rain came just in time."
The people in front of him became happy one by one, every one of them broke through one or two small realms, their strength increased a lot.
"Not bad, I also improved, Golden Core Perfection!" Luo Tao excitedly looked at the Golden Core in his Dantian, which had grown much larger.
One rain brought him to Golden Core Perfection, it was fantastic.
At that moment, the Voice of Hongmeng resounded again in the sky.
[The rewards of Golden Ranking are released, the mount will be granted later]
[Five days later, the mount will manifest, and the Mount Golden Ranking will open]
[Five days later, Spirit Vein will manifest]
[Five days later, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will manifest]
Hearing this voice, Chen Lan’s lips curved slightly, just as he thought.
Whatever the Golden Ranking’s reward, that’s what the next Golden Ranking would be.
The Qilin is a mount, and indeed the next is the Mount Golden Ranking.
After the Voice of Hongmeng passed, beams of golden light descended all over the nation, falling on Chen Lan.
Only then did Luo Tao notice Chen Lan was there, and seeing the golden light on him, immediately congratulated him: "Congratulations, I knew you’d definitely be on the ranking."
This time, many Nascent Soul Stages were on the Golden Elixir Ranking, with almost all the last twenty being at the Nascent Soul Stage; he had a hunch Chen Lan would be among them.
Sure enough, he was right.
"Let’s not talk about it for now, how was your practice?" Chen Lan knowingly asked.
He knew what everyone’s realm was.
Everyone perked up when Chen Lan asked and immediately answered excitedly.
"Hmm, not bad, the Demon Beasts will soon manifest, I’ll lead the team to set off, you all continue to stabilize your cultivation."
"Yes, Teacher Chen!" They all answered in unison, then immediately sat cross-legged and continued their cultivation.
As for Chen Lan, he was comprehending the reward the Golden Ranking had just given him, the Array Dao Divine Techniques.
This was a very powerful Divine Technique, he could form an array with a single thought, no matter how difficult the array was, he could quickly learn and master it, and even improve upon it.
However, there was a challenge in front of him now.
He didn’t understand arrays.
This will have to wait until the sect manifests, then he could find someone to learn arrays from.
