Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 105: Seventeen-Nation Alliance

Not knowing what the three disciples were planning, Zhang Xuan once again came to the library.

The student competition had no appeal to him, and it didn't matter whether he watched it or not. Now that he had the three life plates given by the head of the Liu family, he had no shortage of destiny and vitality. What he had to do was to figure out Master Kong's situation and improve his strength and cultivation as soon as possible.

The library was filled with books. Zhang Xuan did not go straight to the martial arts section this time, but came to the geography and humanities section.

"Overview of the Hanyuan Dynasty's Topography", "History of the Development of the Ten Great Dynasties", "Overview of Dynasties", "The Grudges and Resentments between the Three Surrounding Kingdoms and the Hanyuan Dynasty"...

I took a quick look and saw quite a few miscellaneous books.

Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry to collect the books, but checked them one by one. He walked through two rows of bookshelves, but still couldn't find what he wanted. He couldn't help but frown.

Most of these books record the Hanyuan Dynasty and more than a dozen surrounding countries, but there is no information about the Zouyi Dynasty, as if this dynasty did not exist at all.

Just as he was wondering, Su Qiao came up to him and said, "Teacher Zhang, what kind of books are you looking for?"

As the manager of the library, I was deeply impressed by the last time this guy crazily absorbed source energy and made such a big noise. I'm really afraid that he will do the same thing again, so I'd better ask him in advance!

"I want to find some books that introduce the entire continent. I wonder if we have any here?"

Zhang Xuan asked.

Su Qiao shook his head: "The continent where the Hanyuan Dynasty is located is vast and boundless. We are just a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning. How could there be such a book! I guess only a huge force like the Tianming Palace that spreads across the entire continent can find it!"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

Also.

When we were in the Tianxuan Kingdom, we would not know about the Zhang family or the alien spirit race even if we searched through all the books. It was not because they were backward, but because they were too remote and could not be contacted at all.

The same is true for the Hanyuan Dynasty. The ten surrounding dynasties are all about the same size and have somewhat similar territories. For those who want to compile books, it is undoubtedly too much to write about the entire continent.

"Elder Su has read a lot of books, have you ever heard of the Zouyi Dynasty?"

Understanding this, Zhang Xuan asked.

"Zouyi Dynasty?"

Su Qiao thought for a moment and shook his head involuntarily: "Never heard of it! It should not belong to the Seventeen Dynasties Alliance."

Zhang Xuan: "Seventeen Dynasties Alliance? What is that?"

Su Qiao smiled: "The dynasties on the continent are divided into first-, second- and third-rate, with first-rate being the highest and third-rate being the lowest. Only after entering the first-rate can one obtain the qualification to practice cultivation. The Hanyuan Dynasty is not even third-rate, so in order to allow the people living in it to find the source pool and become cultivators, it united with a total of 16 dynasties in the surrounding area that were not in the first-rate and gathered together to form an alliance."

"This alliance fought together when in danger, helped each other when in crisis, and advanced and retreated together like brothers. That's how they won a place in a third-rate dynasty and got the chance to live in the Palace of Destiny..."

Zhang Xuan was startled, revealing a trace of confusion: "I don't understand what Elder Su said, the qualification to practice? The opportunity to become the master of the Heavenly Fate Hall...what do they all mean?"

Do you need any qualifications to practice cultivation?

As long as there is a source pool, can't you practice?

How could it be related to whether or not the dynasty participates in exchanges?
"You do not know?"

Su Qiao looked at it in confusion. Although he found it strange, he still explained: "Source warriors, if you want to practice, you must first find the source pool. This thing is not something that everyone has. If you don't have the destiny to practice, you can't activate it even if you search for it for a lifetime, let alone practice! Just like our Hanyuan Dynasty, the cultivators in the past spent their entire lives and couldn't find the source pool because it was not in their destiny. This is also the so-called destiny will eventually come, and don't force it when it is not in your destiny!"

"The Heavenly Fate Hall controls the destiny. Only by opening a branch hall here can the people here have the destiny and qualifications to practice and open up the source pool."

"This..." Zhang Xuan's whole body was shocked.

I had always wondered why he didn't have a source pool. After all this fuss, it turned out that he didn't belong to any dynasty, so naturally he didn't have the destiny to practice!
As a result, he managed to create a source pool through the suspended world... Does this count as changing one's fate?
"Not only that, cultivation must also strictly abide by the destiny!"

Su Qiao continued, "For example, no matter how many elixirs you take or how powerful your skills are, as long as your spirit and soul don't break through, your horsepower will be capped at 99 horsepower and it can never be exceeded. This is the power of destiny! This is also the reason why the differences between each realm of a practitioner are not too great."

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

I am clearly in the late stage of the Internal Organs Realm and I already have a strength of 99 horsepower, and at my peak it is still just 99 horsepower. After all this fuss, it turns out that there is no problem with my cultivation, but this reason.

Fate dictates that without a breakthrough in the spirit and soul, the strength cannot exceed 99 horsepower, so even the Heavenly Dao techniques cannot break this limit.

"What are the destinies?"

After being shocked, Zhang Xuan looked at it curiously.

"That's a lot. Teacher Zhang is good at taming animals, which is actually a kind of destiny. Refining elixirs and weapons is also one of them. Even birth, aging, sickness and death, marriage, funerals, opportunities and crises are all included in destiny."

Su Qiao said.

"Doesn't that mean... that my whole life will be checked and controlled by fate?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

If this is the case, as long as we are alive we will be restricted. What is the meaning of life?
"Even if there is no destiny, you still have to be bound!"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Su Qiao explained: "Use chopsticks to eat, find a bed to sleep, find a cup to drink water... These most common things are also rules. If you quarrel with others, you are magnanimous if you endure it; if you are bullied, you are cultured if you don't fight back; if you fall in love with multiple girls, you are a scumbag; if you don't marry after your spouse dies, you are a virgin... These are the rules that have been subtly ingrained in your mind. As long as you are alive, how can you not abide by them? You can do whatever you want."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xuan was silent.

In this way, there are indeed rules everywhere, and no one can escape, not even a master like him. Su Qiao continued: "Rules are the foundation of society, dynasties, and even the world. Without these things, it would have been a mess long ago!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

There is no order without rules. Without these, everyone will be driven by desire, and the world will be full of killing, rape, and blood. No one will produce or work hard anymore.

After asking some more questions, Zhang Xuan had a certain understanding of the Heavenly Fate Palace and the Heavenly Fate Master. He then clasped his fists with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Elder Su, for clearing up my doubts!"

"Teacher Zhang, you are too polite. I have been in this library for decades. If you need any kind of books, just tell me! I will tell you everything I know."

Su Qiao smiled.

"Thank you, Elder Su. Now that I have mentioned this, I just happen to have something else to ask. I want to see the cultivation method of the Jade Bone Realm, but this library doesn't seem to have it..."

Knowing that the books here did not contain any news about the Zouyi Dynasty, Zhang Xuan stopped looking for them.

Having reached the peak of the sixth level of the Source Pool Internal Organs Realm, it is time to strive for a higher realm. Only with sufficient strength can one get out of the Hanyuan Dynasty, out of the Seventeen-Nation Alliance, find Master Kong, and find a way to save him.

"The Jade Bone Realm skills are only available to the elders of the academy. They are displayed on the third floor upstairs. If you want to learn, you must first become an elder. Ordinary teachers are not qualified."

Su Qiao explained.

Zhang Xuan asked: "How can I become an elder?"

Su Qiao said, "This is easy. As long as you have the strength of the sixth level of the Origin Pool and pass the academy assessment, you will be eligible for the academy's employment. There is an elder hall over there with a teacher who is responsible for review. Go there and consult, and they will tell you in detail what to do. However, Teacher Zhang... you just accumulated strength a few days ago, right? Why are you asking this?"

The other party was in the power accumulation stage, and created the illusion of swallowing the source dragon, which almost destroyed the entire library. It was really too impressive.

"Of course, I want to see if I can assess an elder!"

After explaining, Zhang Xuan strode towards the direction of the Elder Hall.

"Assessing the elder? Could it be that... he has already broken through to the internal organs realm?"

After being stunned for a while, Su Qiao finally reacted, full of disbelief.

The triple power of the source pool three days ago, and the internal organs today... I knew he was a genius, but this is too genius...

"Go and inform Dean Lu..."

Knowing that the assessment of the elders was a matter of great importance, and also knowing the significance of this genius to the academy, Su Qiao did not dare to stop and hurriedly ran to the martial arts field.

Today we have a student competition, and the dean must be presiding over it here.

Lu Mingrong, Wu Yunzhou and others sat on a high platform not far from the martial arts arena, looking at the many students competing in the arena with praise in their eyes.

In preparation for this competition, they built nine arenas overnight, and ten competition venues started simultaneously to speed up the process. Otherwise, with tens of thousands of people competing at the same time, it would have taken at least half a month to finish.

Lord Xu Xin, who was not far away, only gave them three days, which meant that all the competitions had to be completed and have results within three days.

"Dean Lu, Yu Xiaoyu and Liu Mingyue have made great progress..."

Looking at Yu Xiaoyu and others who defeated a group of students with just a few moves, Wu Yunzhou couldn't help but sigh.

Although the opponent did not show his full cultivation level, he defeated dozens of people in a row without even taking a breath. It is obvious that his cultivation level has increased a lot compared to when we saw him the day before yesterday.

"Yes, it seems that Teacher Zhang is also good at teaching..." Lu Mingrong nodded. He suspected that there was something about the teacher's destiny that could not be said, but he could still praise him for his good teaching.

"I heard that he taught the technique he researched himself, not the Academy's 'Returning to the Origin and Accumulating Strength Technique'!"

Wu Yunzhou couldn't help but sigh: "I've just started practicing, and I'm probably only at the Accumulation Stage. I haven't even reached the Physical Stage yet, but I've been able to create such a powerful practice technique. This teacher Zhang is not only a good teacher, but his understanding of the technique is also amazing... With this comprehension ability, coupled with his supreme talent, maybe within a month, I can reach the late stage or peak of the Physical Stage..."

"One month? At the peak of the physical realm?"

Ran Qingxu, who was not far away, shook his head: "It took me five years to break through from the Energy Accumulation Realm to the peak of the Physical Realm. Cultivation requires a step-by-step approach. Even if he is a genius, it would not be so fast..."

"It's also..."

Wu Yunzhou nodded.

Cultivation is like building a building on flat ground. No matter how talented you are, without layers of foundation, you will be like a rootless duckweed and will not go far.

This Zhang Xuan can absorb the source energy and produce the vision of swallowing the source dragon. His talent is beyond doubt. However, no matter how powerful the talent is, it still needs to be cultivated layer by layer and improve one level after another, rather than rising to the top overnight.

"Back then, City Lord Yu was known as the best in the past century, but he also spent two full years to improve his cultivation from the Power Accumulation Stage to the middle stage of the Physical Stage. Teacher Zhang is more talented than him, but it would be difficult for him to achieve this without a year..."

Lu Mingrong nodded. Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Qiao hurriedly approaching him, bowing and clasping his fists: "Dean, Teacher Zhang Xuan...he went to the Elder Hall. He should be qualified and is going to take the assessment of the elders!"

"Assessing the elders?"

Lu Mingrong, Wu Yunzhou and the others looked at each other and stood there in a daze. Then, a shocked and unbelievable voice slowly sounded.

"The sixth level of the source pool... the internal organs realm?"
