University Palace.
Purple Qi vapouring, the palace was continuous.
A large number of disciples travelled through it, coming and going, extremely lively.
This was probably one of the liveliest Dao peaks, with countless disciples coming and going every day, and the sound of people boiling over.
Qin Li entered the hall and raised his hand to see a round light mirror, as wide as nine zhang, like a flawless crystal polished. This was the University Peak’s supreme magic treasure, the World Viewing Mirror.
In the University Peak, the scriptures were vast, wanting to find the treasure book of choice was like finding a needle in a haystack. The existence of the World Viewing Mirror, however, perfectly solved this problem, as long as one took out the token, one could enquire about the relevant scriptures.
“World Viewing Mirror!”
Qin Li took out his disciple token:
“I wish to look up the book scriptures related to the ‘One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws’.”
The World Viewing Mirror trembled slightly, a surge of divine and strange light, finally resurfacing with four big words, “Insufficient Authority!”
Qin Li bursts his teeth, he is just an ordinary disciple with the lowest authority, unless he sacrifices the Cang Qing Shi Order, otherwise he cannot check the relevant information. But there are too many disciples around, it might be just like the Stinging Peak, attracting the attention of people with an axe to grind.
“Those in front, since you can’t check, let it be fast, there are still people behind you!”
A slip of disciples at the back urged.
Helpless!
Qin Li turned to leave.
At this time, a disciple greeted him.
“This senior disciple, I’m an old disciple of the University Peak, you can talk to me about what books you’re looking for, just a certain amount of contribution points will suffice.”
Although the World Viewing Mirror was powerful, it could only provide the name and location of the book and could not give more detailed information. These university disciples then acted as information peddlers, able to provide a lot of useful news and also compare many similar scriptures.
Qin Li’s eyes flashed as he asked, “I want to study ‘One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws’, may I ask if University Peak has any books of this type?”
“Are you making me laugh?”The University disciple’s face was odd, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws was the highest fantasy of the Sword Dao, for you, an initiated disciple, to say that you want to study it was akin to a child trying to lift a mountain peak.
Qin Li took out the disciple token and seductively said, “One thousand contribution points!”
At once.
That university disciple breathed heavily.
I didn’t expect to meet a big fat sheep, but how do I know about this aspect.
His eyes rolled and he thought of a method, “The University Peak has seven secret realms of the Book Dao, and the further down you go, the more precious the scriptures are. And below the seven levels, there is a vast book storehouse that contains unimaginable collections of books that are rumoured to hold the answers to all questions, perhaps you can reap the rewards in it.”
“Thanks a lot!”
Qin Li came to be interested.
Crossing off a thousand contributions, he turned to leave.
That university disciple was gorgeous, “Heh heh, what a good liar fellow, under the seventh floor, it’s just a miscellaneous book trash heap, a mountain of books piled up and refuted, there’s not much of value to be found at all.”
Qin Li was unaware of all this.
He had sought out a void portal in the University Palace.
This place was only the starting point, and in order to go to the Secret Realm of the Book Dao, one must use a token and pass through the void portal.
When he entered the first secret realm, he saw patches and patches of bookshelves, with all sorts of jade books divided into categories, just like a forest of books, with the scent of books permeating the air, and numerous disciples coming and going.
Qin Li didn’t make much of a stop and found the Void Portal, preparing to head to the Second Mysterious Realm. The disciple token was out of order, as it didn’t have enough authority, but fortunately, once the Cang Qing Shi Order was out, it was easy to enter.
In the second secret realm, both the books and the people were much less, most of the people moving around here were elite disciples with great origins.
Qin Li went straight all the way into the third secret realm, the fourth secret realm ……
The fifth secret realm.
There was only one yellow-robed Daoist here.
It should be a Nirvana Giant who was holding a stone slab and reading.
Qin Li’s heart lingered, not daring to disturb him, he tiptoed through the void portal and headed to the sixth secret realm, the
The yellow-robed Daoist put down the stone tablet and said oddly, “He was even able to enter the Sixth Secret, could it be that he’s the illegitimate son of some Supreme Elder that I’ve actually never seen before.”
At this moment, Qin Li had already arrived at the seventh secret realm, which was a small world of beautiful mountains and water, birdsong and flowers, a dense aura, a cultivation treasure trove, with only a few rows of bookshelves, empty of people.
Qin Li paused briefly.
He glanced at the bookshelves and was surprised:
“Spring Breeze Sword Qi, Qingming Sword Qi, Valley Rain Sword Qi, Summer Solstice Sword Qi …… Looks like this is the Natural Dao Sect’s most legendary divine ability, the Four Seasons Divine Sword Chapter!”
Qin Li didn’t stop to learn, his Five Prisons Divine Avatar was extremely powerful, not weaker than the Four Seasons Divine Avatar at all, and there was no need to forcefully learn another Divine Avatar as greed could not be chewed.
“This should be the place!”
Qin Li leapt into the air and passed through the void portal.
He arrived at the eighth secret realm and looked up, unable to help but freeze in place.
Book!
Book! Book!
Book! Book! Books!
As far as the eye could see, there were all books.
There were just too many. The jade slips were piled up layer by layer, turning them into mountains.
Bamboo, paper, bone, jade, bronze, all kinds of books spread all over the place, many books as well as rotten and broken.
“The mountain of books is a path of diligence, the sea of learning is a boat of bitterness!”Qin Li inexplicably remembers a proverb that is extremely apt to the scene before him, “So many books, how do I look for them!”
Suddenly!
A voice rang out.
“How did you get in?”
Qin Li was startled and subconsciously turned around to see a teenager.
This teenager was Fengdu Shenxiu, his eyes like stars, with a transcendent temperament between his brows, wearing a set of pale-coloured robes, indescribably melting, as if he had become one with nature, standing there, it was a landscape.
“Of course I walked in.”Qin Li hemmed and hawed, he wouldn’t reveal the news of the Pale Green Stone Order, changing the topic, “By the way, I haven’t yet asked you your name?”
“Nameless!”
The pale-robed youth replied.
Qin Li laughed dumbly, another Nameless.
Obviously the other party didn’t want to reveal his identity, so he couldn’t be bothered to ask anything after him.
“Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?”Qin Li picks up a volume on the ground and gives it a cursory read, it’s a cultivator’s travelogue stating his life: “That said, there are quite a lot of books here!”
The pale-robed young man gazed at the vast sea of books, “There is no use for eternity in this world, all lives will die, all legends will decay. No one wants to be forgotten, so every cultivator writes a book in his later years, composing his life in the hope that future generations will remember him. My job is to organise the books.”
Qin Li was shocked in his heart, a cultivator stood behind a book, so this mountain of books, the lives of countless cultivators, lay quietly here. There weren’t many useful things in here, but there would always be some valuable secrets hidden.
“By the way, I’m looking for books about the One Sword Breaking Ten Thousand Laws, since you are an administrator, I wonder what you recommend.”
The pale-robed young man raised his sword brows and said in surprise, “You are too ambitious and your cultivation level is too low, that is the highest fantasy of the sword path, the ultimate dream of all sword cultivators, a little research and you will go off the rails, I advise you to give up.”
“There are too many things in the world that are impossible, but there are still countless cultivators who have gone before and after, I should be one of them.”Qin Li smiled faintly, confident as a tide. The main reason was that he had once had it, so he was convinced that he could succeed.
The pale-robed young man’s heart was touched, his eyes giving birth to a strange colour as he swept over Qin Li, vaguely discerning something extraordinary, and laughed, “Since you have this kind of guts, it’s not too late to go and give it a try.”
Swoosh!
He raised his hand and waved.
The mountain of books crumbled and flew out in aurora borealis.
Falling before his eyes, they transformed into volumes of jade slips, totalling one hundred and thirty-two books.
“These are the notes of the seniors who, historically, challenged the One Sword Breaks All Laws, perhaps you can gain something else.”The pale-robed teenager said.
“So many!”Qin Li was surprised and happy, he picked up a volume to watch, it was the life of a Nirvana Giant thought to be a Nirvana Giant, among them there was one on the Sword Dao Conjecture, the other books were similar but each had their own variations, “Many thanks, Fellow Daoist.”
Talking freely for a while longer!
Qin Li left with over a hundred volumes of books.
The pale-robed youth muttered, “An anomaly, I can’t believe I can’t see through it.”
Leaving the bookstore!
Qin Li returned to the University Palace.
That university disciple was still canvassing.
Qin Li went up to greet him and smiled, “Thank you for your guidance just now, Senior Brother.”
The university disciple scurried up in fear, thinking that Qin Li had returned without success and was looking for him to recover his contribution points, “I can say yes, small business, no refunds.”
“Senior brother is joking, I gained a lot from the Vast Book Depository and even met a very powerful administrator.”Qin Li said a few words of thanks, then took the books with him and headed to Shushan Mountain to retreat.
That university disciple was confused, “Is this guy talking nonsense? The Vast Book Depository is completely sealed, it’s impossible to enter, there can’t possibly be an administrator inside, either this kid is lying or I’m living in hell.”
