"Evolutionary Cloud Map?"
Wang Ran hasn't come across this word for some time.
He had previously obtained an evolutionary cloud map of the Golden Crow on Ronawei Island, but the simulator said that the evolutionary cloud map was of too low a grade and had no reference value, so he later threw the evolutionary cloud map out of his mind.
"Is the evolutionary cloud map of great help in gathering divinity?" Wang Ran paused. "I remember that there are countless rule nodes on an evolutionary cloud map. Do I need to light them all up to gather divinity by referring to the evolutionary cloud map?"
His thoughts were flowing.
A towering tree with blazing golden light flowing in its branches quietly emerged. There were countless spots of light of different sizes in the branches, and one felt dizzy at first glance.
[The evolutionary cloud map is a strong person's self-reflection]
[To condense divinity, you do not need to light up all the nodes on the cloud map, you only need to light up the nine basic nodes]
As the simulator explained, the vast sea of light on the Golden Crow Cloud Map gradually dimmed, and finally only nine spots of light remained in the center of the cloud map.
Wang Ran took a closer look.
These nine spots of light formed an irregular shape. If you think carefully, you can faintly make out the outline of a three-legged golden crow.
"The nine most basic nodes?"
Wang Ran felt it with his heart.
Earth, wind, fire, power, energy, life, soul, destruction, space.
“Each one is very complicated.”
These nine nodes are as bright as the sun, and each one contains countless things, which makes Wang Ran feel astonished.
[You just want to gather divinity]
[You don’t need to understand the basic nodes at the same level as a cloud master]
[It is enough for you to understand a little bit]
Wang Ran reacted immediately.
The reason why he felt that these basic nodes contained so much was because the cloud map reflected the owner's mastery of the rules.
It is not necessary to reach such a high level of attainment to concentrate divinity.
but…
What level of power was the Golden Crow who left this cloud map? How did he comprehend so many rules
Wang Ran looked at the countless spots of light in front of him.
He fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "I remember you said this evolutionary cloud map has no reference value. Should I find a few more to compare and pick the best one for reference?"
[Yes, but don’t be too persistent]
Wang Ran nodded thoughtfully.
Just refer to the nine basic nodes, there is really no need to be too persistent.
But he will have to refer to the evolution cloud map in more depth in the future, so he took this opportunity to sort out the ancient relics in his hands and see how many evolution cloud maps he can draw from the divinity in the ancient relics.
Wang Ran looked up at the boundless sea of clouds, which was beautifully set off by the sunset glow.
Anna had opened the eight-level secondary space in front of him before. The breath leaked from the secondary space contained all kinds of mysterious and strange rhythms, but it was far less inspiring to him than this sea of clouds.
This is a precious land for cultivation.
I don’t know what is on the other side of the bronze door.
The spooky atmosphere,
Mysterious shadow,
The terrifying guillotine...
Combined with the monsters and demons carved on the door, it doesn't seem like a good place no matter how you think about it.
Who built this door
Why would He use this door to connect two completely opposite places
Wang Ran turned and walked to the bronze door.
In the world behind the door, the carvings on the door had changed again. They were no longer auspicious symbols such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, but human faces that were either happy or sad, crying or laughing. They looked a little creepy.
Obviously, the carvings on the door are related to the world inside the door.
Auspiciousness corresponds to this sea of clouds that is like a fairyland on earth, and evil corresponds to the evil land with a guillotine.
So why do we use these faces that don't look normal at all to correspond to the real world
Wang Ran was a little confused.
These human faces have only two expressions: crying and laughing, and they only convey two emotions: sadness and joy.
If it refers to the human world, at least all the seven emotions and six desires should be expressed.
So why is the door cast like this
What did the creator think
Wang Ran stared at the bronze door for a while. He didn't find any clues on the door, so he could only smile bitterly, shook his head, pushed the door open and walked out.
"grown ups!"
The Second Sect Leader was waiting outside the door respectfully.
He bowed his head deeply.
"Gather all the ancient relics together. They will be of great use to me."
Wang Ran said as he walked out.
"Yes! Sir!"
…
At the same time, in the depths of the distant Kunlun Mountains, a thin wisp of green smoke emerged from the soil and suddenly turned into a transparent green dragon like emerald.
Its eyes were unusually empty, as if it had just woken up from a big dream.
"I… "
“I’m so hungry…”
It murmured.
Its demeanor and voice were extremely hazy; although it was speaking, it felt as if it was sleepwalking.
…
"Except for the Immortal Slaying Gourd, all other movable ancient relics are here."
In the hall filled with items, Sect Leader II reported.
"Miss Yiya is using the Immortal Slaying Gourd, so it will take a few days to get it." The Second Sect Leader paused and then said, "But she said that if you need it urgently, you can ask her for it in person."
Wang Ran nodded: "No need."
Although he didn't know what Yiya was doing with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, he was only referring to the nine most basic nodes, and it didn't matter if he had one less evolution cloud map of Lu Ya.
Let’s take a look at these ancient relics first.
Wang Ran took a quick look and keenly discovered a narrow sliver of gold among the pile of ancient relics.
Yo, the rope to tie up immortals!
Wang Ran recalled the week of fierce fighting with Yiya. This rope helped him and Yiya unlock many postures.
Let’s start with this rope.
Wang Ran picked up the rope and an idea came to his mind.

The process went smoothly.
Perhaps it was because the blood of Nuwa flowed in his body. After he used the curse to stimulate the divinity in the Immortal Binding Rope, the divinity did not attack him, but instead merged into his body like the Golden Crow divinity.
He successfully obtained a new evolutionary cloud map.
[Evolution Cloud Atlas - Ji Liusun]
"Is it just Ju Liusun?" Wang Ran muttered softly, "I thought I could get Yuanshi Tianzun's!"
According to mythology, the Immortal Binding Rope was given to Juliusun by Yuanshi Tianzun, which means that the original owner of the Immortal Binding Rope was Yuanshi Tianzun.
However, Juliusun later rebelled against the Chan sect and joined the Western sect, and became one of the seven ancient Buddhas.
Although I don't know how credible the myth is, according to this statement, even if the divinity of Yuanshi Tianzun was contained in the immortal rope at the beginning, it must have disappeared later.
"Juliusun can be considered a well-known immortal."
"good."
"Let's see the next one."
Wang Ran picked up another broken spear.

[Simulation ends]
It didn't go so well this time.
Although he obtained the evolutionary cloud map from the spear, it was an incomplete one, with only four of the nine basic nodes left: earth, power, life, and soul.
"So this is Erlang Shen's three-pointed, double-edged sword..."
Wang Ran stared at the bare spear with only one tip. If he hadn't obtained Yang Jian's evolution cloud map from it, he really wouldn't have recognized that it was a three-pointed, double-edged sword.
He looked carefully and found that there were indeed a few broken edges on the spear head, but they were so smooth that at first glance he thought they were marks left over from casting.
"Master Erlang, are you okay?"
The corner of Wang Ran's mouth twitched.
He couldn't imagine what kind of enemy could have shaved Yang Jian's three-pointed, two-edged sword into a spear...
He placed the three-pointed, double-edged sword next to the rope that bound the immortal.
This three-pointed, double-edged sword is so badly damaged that the divinity within it is half dead.
The evolutionary cloud map passed to him was so incomplete that it had no reference value. He wondered if the other badly damaged ancient relics were the same.
He picked up a small black gourd.
"Purple gold gourd..."
He looked at the note stuck on the gourd and read it.
"Is this the purple gold gourd that swallowed me in the simulation?"
Wang Ran found it very novel.
He had been called by Taoist Ji'an in the simulation before, and after he responded, he was swallowed into the gourd, where he suffered from skin ulcers.
Later...
Taoist Ji'an was chopped into three pieces by the enraged Yiya, and the big and small heads were connected in reverse...
Wang Ran played with the small gourd for a while.
Compared to the Immortal Slaying Gourd, the Purple Gold Gourd was in much better condition, except that it was cracked.

[Simulation ends]
Wang Ran obtained the evolution cloud map of Taishang Laojun.
The nine basic nodes of Taishang Laojun are earth, wind, water, fire, life, soul, energy, order, and fusion.
"Next."
"… "
"Next."
"… "
"Next."
"… "
Taoist Ji'an has been an archaeologist on Earth for thousands of years. He has unearthed a total of eight or nine hundred ancient relics, and it takes Wang Ran an average of one minute to unearth each relic.
Wang Ran worked non-stop for fifteen hours without sleep.
Fortunately, after he extracted several evolutionary cloud maps, he found that this task was time-consuming, so he moved it to other worlds, and in the end it only took a dozen minutes of Earth time.
"it's over."
Wang Ran was slightly disappointed.
There are more than 800 ancient relics, among which are Nuwa's red hydrangea and Yuanshi Tianzun's jade ruyi, but these two ancient relics do not contain their divinity, only a few runes to drive magic weapons.
These runes are quite vivid, but they don't contain any information.
He didn't understand why this was the case, but considering the status of Nuwa and Yuanshi Tianzun in the mythological system, it was understandable that they were different from other gods.
"Earth, wind, water, and fire, these four laws are the most common." Wang Ran pondered, "Every immortal has comprehended at least one of these basic principles, and the more famous immortals have comprehended three or even four of them."
Jinwu comprehended three items - earth, wind and fire.
He did not comprehend "water" in the nine basic rules, probably because "water" conflicted with His evolutionary path.
But Jinwu did not fail to understand "water", but placed "water" on the periphery of the evolutionary cloud map.
"Earth, wind, water, and fire are the basic elements that make up the world." Wang Ran pondered, "I don't have any special skills, and I'm not an innate god. There's no need to deliberately miss any one. I should master all of them."
Excluding earth, wind, water and fire, there are still five vacancies.
Wang Ran thought for a while and decided to comprehend life, soul, energy and time.
As for the last item…
He thought about it again and again, and finally chose his fate.
