The book’s yellowed pages reflected its age. Be that as it may, it was still a well-preserved book. Gu Xiqiao’s face was solemn when she held it in her hands. She knew that keeping this book must’ve been no easy feat. Though, she quickly detected something off upon flipping through its pages.

She had read through countless books in the virtual space of the system. Many ancient books and scriptures were stored in it and she had read through most of them, regardless of the literature’s category.

There was nothing wrong when she scanned through the first few pages of the book. However, it soon became obvious that someone had tampered with the middle part of the book. It’s fine when you’re just reading it for educational purposes but if someone was actually cultivating themselves according to its contents, a lifetime’s worth of effort would go down the drain, just like that.

Jiang Shuxuan was in a state of disbelief after hearing what Gu Xiqiao said. “How do you know it’s fake?”

This was an ancient piece of literature from thousands of years ago, handed down the Baili family through countless generations; it was their religion. There were no problems with it in the past so why did Gu Xiqiao claim that it was a fake the moment she held it?

Jiang Shuxuan began flipping through the book. Despite being well-read about formations, he scratched his head at what was wrong with the book.

“Brother Jiang, you should stop reading that book. I swear, it’s really a fake.” If it wasn’t for her seeing the real one herself, she would not realize that this was a fake.

Slowly, Jiang Shuxuan lowered the book he was holding. Jiang Shuxuan denied the possibility of this book being tampered with the moment she made that claim. Why? Number one, even if someone was plotting to do such a thing, no way that rascal would dare commit such a sin under his watchful eyes. Number two, this book was incredibly old; it was near impossible to be able to replicate parts to match up with the rest of the book itself.

After eliminating these possibilities, he was left with one single explanation—the book was a fake from the very beginning. If this was true, then the ancestors of the Baili family must’ve been deceived by some great power. The tampering seemed so perfect that even he was unable to distinguish between what was real and what was false. Apart from the almighty ones, no one else could pull this off so flawlessly.

A false ancient scripture. No wonder the Baili family was unable to rise up and become a member of the ‘big three’ families in the ancient martial arts world in the past millennium. Perhaps it was due to its existence that their family was cursed to eternal stagnation.

Jiang Shuxuan’s heart skipped a beat. “You’re not joking are you?”

Gu Xiqiao wanted to say that the real one was kept within the system’s virtual space but because it was currently still in the middle of leveling up. Perhaps the time has finally come for her to do this. “Let me think where the real one’s at.”

Jiang Shuxuan shot her a glance. “I’ll inform Grandpa Baili immediately.”

“Be more gentle when you speak, alright? It’s bad to shock older people.” Gu Xiqiao reminded him. Seeing how well-preserved this book was, no doubt, the Baili family must’ve placed incredible importance on it.

How could descendants of a millennium-old family ever doubt the legitimacy of a book that was passed down through generations by their ancestors? If anything, they would only doubt their own abilities.
