Chapter 1053: Chapter 1052: The Complete Sheepskin Codex

Pope Kidd didn’t speak, instead, he smiled and focused on Lin Fan!

Then, he turned around and started walking in one direction!

Just as Lin Fan curiously wanted to ask what he was doing, Mansite stood up and said to Lin Fan, "Please follow me!"

Lin Fan nodded and then followed Mansite to leave the great hall with Pope Kidd!

After passing through a corridor, Pope Kidd surprisingly led Lin Fan to a Library Pavilion!

Upon entering the Library Pavilion, Lin Fan immediately sensed a feeling of the passage of time. It was conceivable that the Library Pavilion had existed for a very long time!

On these bookshelves were many ancient books with yellowed covers!

Pope Kidd led the way in front and quickly stopped in front of a bookshelf. He reached out and took down a book with a yellowed cover, something that might be considered trash if thrown onto the street!

"Here you go!" Pope Kidd turned and handed the ancient book to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took it and casually flipped through it!

Because of its age, this ancient book had yellowed pages, and some text was missing!

However, as Lin Fan’s gaze inadvertently swept over one page, his brow furrowed!

The passage on that page suddenly captured Lin Fan’s attention, as it was related to "the Sheepskin Scroll"!

The introduction on that page described that Jesus, the founder of the Church, once acquired the Sheepskin Scroll, read it carefully, and even sought out the secrets within the Sheepskin Scroll!

Unfortunately, he found nothing!

The introduction stated that the Sheepskin Scroll contained a great secret, concerning the strongest human, that whoever could obtain it could rise to the peak and become the master of this world!

However, when Lin Fan turned the next page, the content changed!

Lin Fan looked carefully at the page number and discovered it was page 18, but when he turned a page, it became page 20, indicating that a page was missing!

Lin Fan curiously asked, "Why is there a page missing?"

"That’s right! There is indeed a missing page!" Pope Kidd nodded!

"You sought me out because of the Sheepskin Scroll?" Lin Fan asked.

Pope Kidd nodded and said, "That’s right! Jesus once sought the secret recorded on the Sheepskin Scroll, and I believe the secret in the Sheepskin Scroll must be related to our Church, so I hope you can help us!"

"Then I can only say I’m sorry. The Sheepskin Scroll is a secret passed down by our Supreme Ancestor of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!" Lin Fan said solemnly, not showing fear in front of Pope Kidd!

Upon hearing these words, Pope Kidd paused, turned his head, and his murky eyes stared at Lin Fan!

Lin Fan looked back into Pope Kidd’s eyes, suddenly feeling as if he was being pulled into a black hole, almost unable to escape. Fortunately, he was mentally strong and quickly looked away! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Even so, Lin Fan showed no trace of fear on his face!

Lin Fan continued, "Besides, the Sheepskin Scroll is not in my hands; it was taken by the Blood Clan!"

"No problem, I can give you a complete Sheepskin Scroll." Pope Kidd suddenly smiled and said.

"What? A complete Sheepskin Scroll?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be stunned!

He never expected that the Sheepskin Scroll he had been searching for, risking his life multiple times to obtain, would have a complete version, right inside the Church!

Pope Kidd smiled meaningfully, turned to a bookshelf, and took out an ancient book. Upon opening it, a yellowed scroll appeared inside, treated specially to prevent decay, filled with countless small characters!

"Take a look and see if it is exactly like your Sheepskin Scroll!" Pope Kidd handed the Sheepskin Scroll to Lin Fan!

Lin Fan hurriedly took it and examined it closely, his expression turning serious!

Although Lin Fan had never seen the complete Sheepskin Scroll, he had seen parts of it, which matched well with the contents of this complete version!

However, Lin Fan could see that this Sheepskin Scroll differed from the one he had obtained, as the handwriting and notes were not from the same person!

Pope Kidd noticed Lin Fan’s doubt and chuckled softly, "This Sheepskin Scroll is not the original, but rather a hand-copied version. When Jesus first obtained the original, he feared theft and so he copied this version."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s face immediately displayed a hint of joy!

The significance of the Sheepskin Scroll to Lin Fan was beyond words!

With Xiang’Er captured and the original Sheepskin Scroll taken by the Blood Clan, this hand-copied Sheepskin Scroll’s appearance was just in the nick of time, a lifeline for Lin Fan!

"I doubt Pope Kidd would give it to me for free!" Lin Fan said.

Pope Kidd nodded and said, "Indeed! The secret Jesus couldn’t find, I’m really interested to see. But the text has stumped many people we’ve brought in, and none could decipher it. As I understand, you can decrypt these words, so I hope we can cooperate!"

"Cooperate?"

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, hesitating slightly!

Though the Sheepskin Scroll was important to Lin Fan, as it was a secret left by the Supreme Ancestor, it belonged to Lin Fan, and also to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!

Handing it over to others to share was something Lin Fan found difficult to do!

"This matter doesn’t just concern me alone, it concerns our entire sect, so I need to consult with my master!" Lin Fan pondered and said.

"Don’t worry, your master will surely agree!" Pope Kidd said with confidence, leaving Lin Fan bewildered!

Since the moment Lin Fan met Pope Kidd, he felt as if he was standing naked in front of him, with his secrets nearly impossible to hide!

As for Pope Kidd saying it was told by God, Lin Fan didn’t believe that nonsense!

Then, Lin Fan asked, "Pope Kidd, may I ask you something?"

"Please, go ahead." Pope Kidd said.

"The Blood Clan, the Church, and even the Huaxia Martial World all want this Sheepskin Scroll. Do you know what great secret it contains?" Lin Fan asked.

"Specifically, I don’t know. For centuries, it’s been a tremendous mystery, and due to its mystery, it’s attracted more people to search for it!" Pope Kidd replied.

"Then why does the Blood Clan want the Sheepskin Scroll? Could it be... the ancestors of those creatures also possessed the Sheepskin Scroll?" Lin Fan asked.

This doubt had always lingered in Lin Fan’s mind, constantly perplexing him!

Since it was left by the Supreme Ancestor of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Lin Fan thought it would be related to Qi Cultivation. But the Blood Clan couldn’t practice Qi Cultivation, as they weren’t normal humans, but mutated creatures.

If they desired the Sheepskin Scroll, what use could they have?
