Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

"His Majesty is holding this celebration to commemorate your becoming the Fourth Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace and to introduce you to several Dragon Kings and His Highness!" Caiyi said, bowing.

"I understand!" Zhou Xiaobai nodded.

Since it's for this matter, he has no choice but to participate.

But before that, he still wanted to go to the library to read more books.

With the Crown Prince's Decree, he entered the library of the East Sea Dragon Palace, a building that stood apart from the other palaces.

The library is protected by a barrier, and there is no moisture inside, making the indoor environment particularly suitable for the preservation of paper.

"You may freely view the first and second floors, but you can only borrow two books at a time!" the elderly dragon sitting inside the door said in a deep voice.

His gaze fell on the Crown Prince's token, clearly recognizing Zhou Xiaobai's identity.

Zhou Xiaobai sensed the aura of old age emanating from the old dragon, an aura that instinctively repelled living beings, an aura of impending death.

This was the first time he had ever seen a being nearing the end of its life, and it was an old dragon at that.

He is now a true dragon, and with just the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm, his lifespan exceeds three thousand years. As his cultivation breaks through again, his lifespan will continue to increase.

He couldn't imagine how many years the old dragon in front of him had lived.

"And who are you, sir?" Zhou Xiaobai asked, bowing respectfully.

"The old dragon is an elder of the East Sea clan, and is here by order of the Dragon King to guard the scriptures!" the old dragon replied calmly.

"Greetings, Elder!" Zhou Xiaobai bowed again.

"At thirty-three years old, you've reached the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and your dragon body and blood are strong. Your talent is quite good!" The old dragon was very satisfied with Zhou Xiaobai's politeness and nodded slightly.

Zhou Xiaobai always felt that Lao Long's evaluation was strange, but Lao Long was indeed praising him. This was because of their different perceptions of age.

For an ordinary person, thirty-three years old is already half a lifetime.

But for the long-lived dragon race, it is only their childhood.

In fact, as long as one is of the true dragon lineage, no matter how much one neglects cultivation, a thousand years of natural growth is enough to achieve the Earth Immortal realm.

This is the terrifying aspect of a powerful bloodline; the lower limit of the True Dragon lineage's strength is the upper limit that many ordinary beings cannot reach.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't bother Lao Long anymore and went to the first floor bookshelf on his own.

The first floor of the library was filled with paper books. He released his spiritual energy and scanned the books, discovering that their contents were quite diverse.

From introductions to clothing, food, housing, and transportation, to stories of famous rivers and lakes, to classical texts and various legendary tales, it can be said that this collection contains every ordinary book imaginable.

Even the beings in the Dragon Palace can learn everything about the mortal world outside simply by reading the books on this level.

Zhou Xiaobai did not stay on the first floor; he went to the second floor.

In addition to paper books, this floor also contains jade slips, each with its own unique restriction.

However, he still has the right to freely view the books on this floor, which is a right he holds as the fourth prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

His goal was very clear: he selected a jade slip that introduced rare and precious materials and used the Crown Prince's Decree to unlock the restrictions on it.

Upon mentally probing into the book, one finds it to be the "Record of Natural Treasures," where a wealth of information about rare and precious materials appears before one's eyes.

These descriptions include not only text but also real images, and some even allow you to rotate the images to observe the precious natural treasure from multiple angles.

This was precisely the knowledge he lacked. Holding the "Record of the Abundance of Nature" in his hands, he continued browsing the second floor.

The first floor of the library contains mortal-related content, while the second floor contains divine knowledge. In addition to pure knowledge such as the "Record of the Abundance of Nature and Heaven," there are also some common cultivation techniques and spells.

Zhou Xiaobai cultivates the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" and the "Eight-Nine Profound Technique." Even if they are of a lower level, they are still inheritances of the true dragon bloodline. The cultivation techniques and spells here are completely beneath his notice.

He only stopped in front of books that interested him, took them down and looked at them.

He spent a day on the second floor. Although he didn't take any other books, his understanding of this world deepened considerably.

When he was about to go up to the third floor of the library, he was blocked by a restriction.

"Those who have cultivated for three hundred years can only access the books on the second floor and above of the library!" came the old dragon's voice.

Zhou Xiaobai was taken aback. He remembered that the Dragon King of the East Sea once said that once he had three hundred years of cultivation, he would be able to obtain an official position in the Dragon Palace. It seemed that three hundred years of cultivation was the minimum strength standard for a true dragon.

He took the "Record of Abundant Treasures" to the old dragon on the first floor and handed the jade slip to the old dragon.

Old Dragon took out a jade slip, made a copy of the "Record of the Abundance of Nature and Heaven" and handed it to Zhou Xiaobai.

"Don't you have any methods to protect your path?" the old dragon continued to ask.

He knew about Zhou Xiaobai, and guiding the younger generation of the clan was also his responsibility.

"There are no protective methods I like on the second floor!" Zhou Xiaobai shook his head and replied.

"The Panlong Sword Technique bestowed by the Dragon Palace is not weak. Even without powerful magic weapons, the Panlong Sword Technique is one of the top offensive techniques in the world!" the old dragon said calmly.

Zhou Xiaobai was taken aback; he had indeed not paid attention to the Panlong Sword Technique.

On that day, the Third Prince Ao Bing fought with Nezha and was easily killed by him, which made Zhou Xiaobai underestimate the swordsmanship of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"Elder, do you know if the Dragon Palace has any flying sword techniques?" Zhou Xiaobai asked curiously.

He thought of the sword immortals in the fantasy stories he admired in his previous life, who could kill people with flying swords from thousands of miles away. He felt that those were the methods that only immortals should use.

Instead of wielding a longsword and engaging in close combat with the enemy.

"Flying sword techniques? That's an unorthodox method. Unless you possess a high-grade flying sword magic weapon, the power of flying sword techniques is far inferior to that of a handheld sword." The old dragon frowned slightly before explaining.

He was afraid that Zhou Xiaobai had gone astray, so he lightly swept his finger across the air in front of him.

Two images appeared in the void: a large tree and duckweed floating on the water. A gust of wind blew by, but the tree, rooted to the ground, was unaffected by the wind, while the duckweed was easily blown away.

"This flying sword is like a rootless duckweed, while the big tree is like a sword in hand. When the flying sword and the longsword are of the same quality, the sword in hand naturally has a great advantage!" Old Dragon pointed to the two images and said.

"Thank you for your explanation, Elder!" Zhou Xiaobai did not insist on his own opinion. Although he had spent a day reading books in the library and had also cultivated the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" and the "Eight-Nine Profound Technique," his knowledge was far inferior to that of the old dragon who had read the library.

Of course, he didn't accept Lao Long's advice entirely; he would make his own judgment after he had learned more.

However, the training plan still needs to be adjusted, and the Panlong Sword Technique should be added to the daily training.

We can't just use the 'Xuanyuan Qiankun Bow' every time we encounter a battle; we need to have conventional methods.

Just then, the Demon Child took over the cultivation of the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique," freeing up time to cultivate the Panlong Sword Technique.
