Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 99 The Library

In the spacious and bright room, bookshelves were crisscrossed and filled with all kinds of antique books, giving it a particularly scholarly atmosphere. The whole room was in a quiet atmosphere.

Su Qian smiled and said, "Before going to the inner academy, there are some opportunities left behind by the dean in this library. Usually, the top five students in the inner academy selection competition can come here and take one item away."

"This place contains many high-grade medicinal herbs and pills, as well as Earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills. If Dean Xiao Jue finds anything that suits his taste, he may simply take it. However, these items are opportunities for the students. If they are not what you need, please be lenient, Dean Xiao Jue."

"Don't worry, Elder." Xiao Jue nodded and smiled, "You can just call me Xiao Jue. I just raided Demon Flame Valley and Rakshasa Sect not long ago, so I don't lack ordinary items."

"Alright, I'll just call you Xiao Jue from now on." Su Qian asked in surprise, "Did you destroy Demon Flame Valley and Rakshasa Sect?"

"My teacher was the one who destroyed Demon Flame Valley. He was waiting for me in the Black Corner Region. After destroying Demon Flame Valley, he returned to Central Continent. As for Rakshasa Sect, I personally killed Su Mei."

"Those guys are all bad. You and Guild Master Xuan Kongzi have done a good job of punishing evil and promoting good."

As Su Qian spoke, he casually clapped his hands a few times, and a deep rumbling sound rang out. Immediately, a dark passage appeared in front of him through the wall.

After the two entered the passage, they saw large luminous pearls embedded in the walls, their faint glow making the passage somewhat hazy. Su Qian moved quickly, with Xiao Jue following closely behind.

After about two or three minutes, a glimmer of light finally appeared at the end of the passage. After walking out of the passage, the dazzling sunlight shone down from the sky.

Before them lay a valley, with steep cliffs rising all the way to the horizon. Between the three cliffs was a wide open space, upon which stood a massive, imposing, and ancient-looking pavilion.

His gaze slowly swept over the massive, ancient pavilion, finally settling on an extremely old plaque outside the pavilion, on which three characters, somewhat blurred by the erosion of time, were faintly visible.

Library!

The ancient characters, though weathered by time, still evoke a sense of awe at the rustic charm they convey. It is truly worthy of being the mysterious library in the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy; this plaque alone speaks volumes about its identity.

Su Qian led Xiao Jue slowly toward the library. When they were about twenty meters away, he suddenly stopped, cupped his fists toward the library and said, "Second Elder, this is Xiao Jue, the honorary dean of Canaan Academy, a seventeen-year-old seventh-grade alchemist, and a disciple of the giant Xuan Kongzi of the Central State Pill Tower. I'll take him to the library."

At the main gate, two figures in gray robes appeared, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Yao Lao's voice also rang in Xiao Jue's ears, "Two peak Dou Zong, they should be guardians left by Mang Qianchi for Canaan Academy."

The two men didn't feign profundity. They looked up at Xiao Jue, their gray robes trembling slightly, and a soft, hoarse exclamation escaped their lips: "Strange Fire?"

The faint sound echoed slowly in the silent valley, clearly reaching Xiao Jue's ears.

"May I ask your name, young friend?" A man in a gray robe stared at Xiao Jue, his hoarse voice revealing the vicissitudes accumulated over the years.

"Xiao Jue".

"The flames are black and white, life and death intertwine beneath the void. If I am not mistaken, the strange fire that you control, young friend, should be the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, which ranks twenty-first on the Strange Fire Ranking."

He couldn't help but exclaim, "A seventeen-year-old seventh-grade alchemist, that's truly astonishing! I, Bai Lie, am amazed."

"I am Qianmu," said another old man in gray robes. "Since they were brought by Su Qian, there is naturally no problem. Let the two of us unlock the spatial lock."

At the pavilion, the two elders slowly extended their withered hands from their sleeves, and then slowly formed hand seals one finger at a time. As they formed the hand seals, two extremely powerful and invisible waves emanated from their palms like waves.

The invisible fluctuations gradually spread, finally coming into contact with the spatial folds. Upon contact, the space in front of them instantly became like a mirror made of water, rippling continuously. After a moment, the ripples stopped, and a door-shaped structure was slowly torn open by an invisible hand.

Xiao Jue nodded to them and stepped inside. After Xiao Jue entered, Su Qian looked at the two of them and smiled, "Do you two need any pills? Xiao Jue has already said that as long as we gather three sets of medicinal materials, I can start refining pills."

Qianmu asked, "Can he refine the Yuanzun Pill?"

Yuanzun Pill, a low-grade eighth-rank pill, can help low-level Dou Zun break through to the first star, and can also help peak Dou Zong break through to Dou Zun.

After a moment's thought, Su Qian said, "It should be possible in a few years. With his talent, he should be able to break through to the Dou Zong level in five years at most. At that time, refining eighth-grade pills shouldn't be difficult."

Qianmu nodded. "Then let's wait a few years. When he comes out, we can promise to owe him a favor and help him out. We hope that after he becomes an eighth-grade alchemist, he can refine Yuanzun Pills for us."

Afterwards, Su Qian told Bai Lie about the death of the Earth Demon Old Ghost, which made the other party's eyes light up and his aura of gloom dissipate considerably.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Good riddance!" Bai Lie sneered. "That beast should have died long ago."

……

Xiao Jue entered the attic and found himself in an extremely spacious room. On the walls of the room were nearly a dozen energy shields, which were slowly emitting light, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

Suddenly, a faint sound of wind breaking through the air rang out in the room. Although the sound was extremely faint, it was as loud as muffled thunder to Xiao Jue. He immediately followed the sound and finally stopped at an energy shield on the left.

Suddenly, a burst of purple light shot out from the energy shield, transforming into a streak of light that hurtled towards Xiao Jue.

A series of whooshing sounds rang out again, followed by a deluge of energy orbs of different colors and shapes being spewed out of the energy shield, weaving through the huge room and creating a whooshing sound as they passed through.

Xiao Jue released his soul power and swept it over the orbs of light. Under the restriction of his soul power, one orb of light came to Xiao Jue. This was the only thing here that could be useful to him and help him.
