The Nine Books of Heaven

[No harem, no formulaic plot, no invincibility, no System, no mindless writing, and no power fantasy. Read at your own discretion!] Ten thousand years ago, the age of prosperity saw peerless prodigies rise, with nine emperors appearing together to illuminate the ages. Seeking immortality, the nine emperors joined forces to shape the primordial past and steal from Heaven in search of their origins. They obtained nine volumes of Heavenly Scripture, an event known to history as the Day Heaven Was Robbed! Heaven's punishment descended, the nine emperors fell, and the Age of Myth came to an end. The nine volumes of Heavenly Scripture scattered across the world, their whereabouts unknown. Legend says they record the ultimate secrets of the nine emperors and conceal the path to immortality. But legends are only legends. As the years passed, people gradually forgot them. Ten thousand years later... At the Treasures Pavilion of Qingyun Sect... Amid the glares of countless sect disciples, the money-loving Xia Changkong raised his prices yet again. Sect disciples: Profiteer! Shameless scoundrel! A disgrace to us all! Sect Master: Changkong, cultivators should devote themselves to the Dao. Money is worthless, so don't be greedy. Elder: Changkong, I'm your senior brother, after all. Can't you give me a discount? Xia Changkong: ...No! The world laughs at me for being mad; I laugh at them for failing to see the truth~ Ah~ This damn Chaos Sacred Body is a bottomless money pit! Good thing there's a mine in my secret realm!
