Although the library is open to all residents of the fairy tale kingdom, only a few can enjoy the pleasure of swimming in the ocean of knowledge, so the library is usually deserted.

But that was in the past. Now there is a regular in the library who wishes he could live there 24 hours a day. He is none other than the Holy Spirit Dog, who was enlightened by Mellen's "chanting" method.

After this period of self-recognition, the Holy Spirit Dog has condensed most of its body, with only its feet still a little erratic. Its appearance is similar to that of a Border Collie, the only difference being that its body is dark blue, its eyes are calm and wise, and it often holds a book in its little paws, adding a bookish air to its appearance.

At this time, the Holy Spirit Dog was floating in the library. Under the control of its spiritual power, books were separated from the bookshelf and floated behind him. It picked out twenty books before stopping with satisfaction.

These books are enough to keep Holy Spirit Dog entertained for an entire afternoon.

Just as the Holy Spirit Dog was about to leave with the books, a sudden movement in the library caught its attention.

The Holy Spirit Dog showed curiosity. It naturally knew the mechanism of the library, but if other fairy tale characters brought books, they would generally be placed directly in the library. Only the knowledge in the books that Mellen read outside would have copies generated out of thin air.

As far as Holy Spirit Dog knows, Mellen should be adventuring in a brand new world at this time, so the books generated at this time are...

With a desire for new knowledge, the Holy Spirit Dog came to the newly generated bookshelf without hesitation, picked up the only book on it, and started flipping through it casually.

Originally, Holy Spirit Dog just wanted to take a casual look at it, then leave with the new book and return to his warm home to read it carefully.

But as he was looking at it, the Holy Spirit Dog was suddenly shocked. He didn't even care about the other books floating behind him. He fell to the ground and put all his body and mind on the newly created books.

The title of the book is [Inviting the Gods]. Its content is not difficult to understand, but it opened up a whole new way of thinking for Holy Spirit Dog.

When it finished reading and came back to its senses from the aftertaste, its expression suddenly changed and it immediately turned around to look behind it. The twenty books had fallen to the ground and some of the covers were torn.

The Holy Spirit Dog showed a look of heartache, and hurriedly made the books float again. After looking at them carefully for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and barked softly at the library.

An invisible force swept over and repaired the damaged parts of the books. Only then did the Holy Spirit Dog show a look of satisfaction.

The Holy Spirit Dog first put the books he had taken back to their original places one by one, and then he hugged the book [Inviting the Gods] tightly, with a determined look in his eyes.

Although Melen had instructed that people should not contact him unless necessary so as not to expose his abnormality, Holy Spirit Dog felt that now was the necessary moment!

This may be related to one thing that the Holy Spirit Dog has been confused about since birth, that is, its future path!

PS: I got infected and had a high fever of 38.5°. I slept all day and managed to finish coding this chapter while I was still awake. I was also planning to study the new illustration function of Qidian, but I'll wait until I feel better tomorrow.

Chapter 353 Keeping an Appointment

Mellen, who was reading a book, suddenly paused slightly, but his movements did not change, and he still maintained the posture of reading, but his mind had already sunk into the fairy tale kingdom.

In the library, Mellen's spirit body asked curiously: "Holy Spirit Dog, what's the matter with you looking for me at this time?"

The Holy Spirit Dog earnestly corrected him, "Merlen, you should call me by my name... Nasus."

A black line suddenly appeared on Mellen's spiritual body's forehead. Speaking of this, it was also his own fault. He didn't plan to give the Holy Spirit Dog a name so early, but when he used the "Mind the Tao" method before, it was not just a matter of talking about it. He also instilled many of his cognitions and concepts about the dog into it.

In this process, there will inevitably be some strange knowledge, which naturally includes a character from a very popular fighting game in the previous life, Nasus.

Nasus, known as the Desert Death God, is a demigod-level hero, guardian of knowledge, and unparalleled tactician.

After confirming that this character was fictional, Holy Spirit Dog insisted on changing his name to Nasus.

Melen said perfunctorily, "Alright, alright, Nasus, what do you want from me?"

Nasus raised the books in his arms and said, "Can you find more books on this subject? They are very important to me. I vaguely see my future path in them."

Speaking of business, Mellen suddenly became serious. If we talk about the dog with the strongest innate talent among his dogs, it is not Spike who has endured hardships all the way and climbed up with his own efforts, nor is it Xiao Liuli who was born with the essence of immortal spirit, nor is it Golden Retriever who has fused the blood of a high-level dragon, nor is it Void Dog who has unlimited evolutionary potential. The poor little mechanical dog Garuru is not even qualified to compete.

It was the Holy Spirit Dog Nasus, and only Xiao Honglian, who had now evolved into the [Blood Demon Dog], was slightly qualified to compete with the former.

As an innate holy spirit, Nasus has no bottleneck at all before becoming a saint or even reaching the peak of sainthood. As long as he chooses the path he wants to take, he can achieve it in one go.

Therefore, the difficulty of Nasus has always been how to choose a suitable path for it.

Melen looked at the [Summoning God] in Nasus' arms and asked, "Are you going to take the divine path?"

“No!” Nasus shook his head. After a moment’s hesitation, he said firmly, “The path I will take is… the soul!”

Mellen closed the book he had finished reading and let out a breath. This time he did not move forward. Instead, he put the book back in its place and went directly to the stairs on the fourth floor and started reading from the first book on the first bookshelf.

However, this time Mellen was not as leisurely as before. Instead, he quickly flipped through the books as if turning the pages. On average, he spent no more than thirty seconds reading a book.

In this way, I can read 120 books in an hour and nearly 3000 books in a day.

Although the books on the fourth floor are all fine works, they were also collected bit by bit by the Shenglong Sect since ancient times. There are nearly ten thousand of them. Even if Melen works without sleep and remains highly focused at all times, it will take him three days to read them all.

Just when Melen was reading books crazily.

At the top of Shenglong Mountain, there is a small platform three meters square. An old man in gray clothes sits cross-legged on it, looking up at the sky, as if in a daze.

Suddenly, the old man in gray seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in the direction of Bailong Peak, with some confusion in his eyes.

But soon, the doubt dissipated, and the gray-robed old man muttered to himself, "Those below Grandmaster level cultivate 'spirit, energy, and spirit,' while those above Grandmaster level cultivate 'body and soul.' Has he noticed the subtle connection between the divine way and 'soul'?"

"However, being exposed to too much of this knowledge right now is not necessarily a good thing."

At this point, the gray-robed old man chuckled, "Never mind. Geniuses should have their own ideas and experiences. My experience may not apply to you. At worst, I can wait for you to make a mistake and then spend some time to correct it."

After saying this, the gray-robed old man withdrew his gaze and looked up at the clear and boundless sky again, lost in thought.

Mellen's strange behavior soon reached the ears of Elder Liu and Elder Nalan. The two did not dare to delay and immediately hurried to the library of Bailong Peak.

When the two met on the road, Elder Liu angrily asked, "What did you say to Mellen? Why is he flipping through books on the fourth floor of the Bailong Peak library?"

Elder Nalan recalled his conversation with Mellen and felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, he couldn't lose the upper hand in words at this time. He said, "Whatever choice Mellen makes is his own business. Maybe he saw the exquisite inheritance of my White Dragon Peak and wanted to learn more about it!"

"Nonsense!" If Elder Liu had a beard, he would have been furious. He shouted, "Meren is a genius of my Black Dragon lineage. As long as he follows the rules, he will become a Grandmaster. How could he care less about those superstitious people from White Dragon Peak?"

This immediately caused Elder Nalan's eyebrows to raise. He retorted, "The Shinto martial arts of our White Dragon Peak also lead to Grandmaster status. With Mellen's talent, if he receives the Killing God Seed, he will definitely become a Grandmaster within three years. Isn't that much faster than the Killing Martial Arts of your Black Dragon Peak?"

The two argued all the way and soon arrived at the fourth floor of the library. Mellen looked very focused, as if he had devoted his whole body and mind to the ocean of knowledge, but the way he casually flipped through the books made it seem like he was not reading, but rather looking for something.

The two elders hesitated for a moment, and it was Elder Liu who spoke first: "Meren, what are you looking for?"

Elder Liu had originally thought that with Mellen's current concentration, he would need to call out several times to get the latter's attention. However, Mellen continued to flip through the book without turning his head. "Elder Liu? Elder Nalan? It's obvious that I'm reading. What's going on?"

Elder Liu and Elder Nalan looked at each other. Elder Nalan frowned and said, "Meren, you don't look like you're reading."

In just a short while, Mellen finished reading two more books.

Melen said casually: "I have a photographic memory, and I feel that the Shinto books here will be useful to me, so I wrote them down in advance."

"Photographic memory?!"

Elder Nalan blinked. She was of course aware of this kind of talent and had encountered many of them before. However, the 'photographic memory' that Mellen had in front of her, who could remember all the contents of a book just by flipping through it, still gave her a little shock from the genius.

When Elder Liu heard Mellen say, "I feel the Shinto books here are useful to me," his eyes moved. He vaguely recalled that his own peak master had once casually mentioned some experiences above the Grandmaster level. It seemed...

In the end, Elder Liu and Elder Nalan left with doubts, and the only sound left on the fourth floor of the library was the rustling sound of Mellen flipping through the books.

Time passes quietly bit by bit.

Sha Lian arrived at the outskirts of the Holy City and soon met Luo Yalan who was preparing to go out purchasing. She was then successfully guided to the villa of the Yuehai team.

In fact, it stands to reason that the Yuehai team got a place in the Holy Guard headquarters because of Mellen's relationship. They should give up their villa in the suburbs and move directly to the Holy Guard headquarters.

However, this world has always had policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. After a period of tug-of-war, the Yuehai team formed a tacit understanding with the original team in the Holy Guard headquarters. After returning from each mission, they can use the equipment in the headquarters to practice, so as to maximize the effect of the practice resources they exchanged. At other times, they still return to the suburban villa.

Although Chen Guang and Lu Shu were very angry about the result, Gao Haidong, the team leader, was already very satisfied.

Everything in this world is false; only the power in your hands is real. Especially in an official violent organization like the Holy Guard, being able to gain a place and speed up one's own cultivation has become the dream of many people.

Moreover, even now, the Yuehai team has offended some powerful teams, but they have not yet erupted.

Sha Lian glanced at the villa and asked doubtfully, "Is Mellen not here?"

Luo Yalan invited Sha Lian to sit down and poured tea for him while saying, "You may not know this yet, but Melen has passed the entrance examination of Shenglong Sect and is now a formal disciple of Shenglong Sect."

"He contacted us before and said he would be back in the next two days. Maybe something delayed him."

"Shenglong Sect?" Sha Lian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "The leader of the righteous sect?"

Sha Lian appeared here naturally to find Melen and the Yuehai team and take them to the Worship Sect to receive God's blessing. This had been agreed upon before, and they agreed to meet here at that time.

Sha Lian said with some concern: "There are only a few days left until the March deadline. The seal I set up before should be almost exhausted. I wonder if Melen is okay."

Luo Yalan comforted him, "Don't worry. You also said that the Shenglong Sect is the leader of the righteous sect. They should have a way to deal with it. Maybe the evil spirit's erosion in Mellen has been lifted."

Sha Lian nodded and said nothing more.

Luo Yalan thought for a moment and said, "Sha Lian, I heard that your God Worshiping Sect is isolated from the outside world. It's rare for you to come out. Would you like to come with me to the Holy City? You know, the Holy City is the most prosperous place in the Integrated Federation."

Sha Lian was moved after hearing this. Seeing this, Luo Yalan immediately tried to persuade her a few more words.

In the end, the purchasing team set off again, but this time, in addition to Luo Yalan and Sha Lian, they also brought Gao Haidong and Rong Dingjun as laborers and bodyguards.

After all, with Sha Lian's looks and temperament, Luo Yalan was really afraid that it would cause some kind of disturbance if she didn't bring a few people who could calm the situation.

…………

Bailongfeng Library.

Mellen put the last book back on the bookshelf and then rubbed his swollen and painful forehead.

With Mellen's martial arts skills, not eating, drinking or sleeping for more than three days would not have much impact on him, but concentrating his mind all the time and recording the contents of the book would be quite exhausting.

At this time, Melen felt that his head was full of things, and he had the illusion of being top-heavy when walking.

By the time he walked out of the library, Melen had adjusted his condition thanks to his strong adaptability.

The knowledge gained this time is enough for Holy Spirit Dog to study for a period of time. There are also some core inheritances on Bailong Peak, but if Melen wants to get them, he must at least become a master.

After checking the current time, Melen shook his head helplessly. It was slightly past the time he and Sha Lian had agreed upon, but there was nothing he could do about it. The needs of the Holy Spirit Dog were more important.

Melen glanced at his shoulder. The seal left by Sha Lian had been completely broken and disappeared. However, under the suppression of his endless energy and blood, the evil god could only retreat.

Through this journey through the sea of books, Melen also found some ways to take advantage of the evil god's erosion, but these methods require certain preparations and cannot be carried out for the time being.

Melen did not forget that Elder Liu asked him to go down the mountain to worship the Heavenly Killing Sword, so he went straight to the Patriarch Peak.

The journey was smooth and even from the moment he entered the Patriarch Peak, he didn't see a single person. Melen arrived smoothly at the place where the five sect's magical weapons were enshrined.

When you enter the small temple where the Tiansha Sword is located, you will see the Tiansha Sword placed steadily on the stone platform.

The length of the Tiansha Sword is one and a half meters. The entire blade is bright silver, and its appearance is somewhat strange and twisted. There are blood-colored spikes on the back of the blade. Waves of deep and cold murderous aura continue to flow out from the Tiansha Sword.

Melen looked at it for a moment, not knowing what to do next. After thinking about it, he took two steps forward and wanted to take the Tiansha Sword in his hand.

But before he could make contact, a murderous aura so strong that it became tangible suddenly burst out from the Tiansha Sword.

This murderous aura danced in the air, forming the shape of a small black dragon, and then turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Mellen's heart.

Although Melen understood that this might be of some benefit, he did not want the little black dragon to enter his heart, so he raised his right hand like lightning to block the latter's path.

The little black dragon had no time to avoid it and went straight into the back of Melen's right hand. It wanted to struggle, but was quickly suppressed by the powerful blood and murderous aura in Melen's body, and could only hide unwillingly.

At this time, Melen also knew how to use this little black dragon. This was a blade energy from the Heavenly Killing Sword. Attaching it to a weapon could double the power of the weapon. As long as the power was not exhausted at once, this blade energy could also absorb the murderous energy between heaven and earth and slowly recover. When necessary, it could be fully released, and its power was far greater than the full-strength attack of an ordinary master.

It can be said that this Heavenly Killing Sword's energy is a life-saving trump card given by Shenglong to Mellen when he goes down the mountain for training.

After accepting the benefits, Melen bowed to the Tiansha Knife and then walked out of the small temple.

After walking out of Zushi Peak, Melen stopped.

If it were in the past, if Melen wanted to return to the Holy City, he could only rely on his own feet to leave Shenglong Mountain, then find a populated area and then find a way to take transportation.

Now, of course, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Melen stretched out a finger, and rich blood and energy oozed out from his fingertips. He quickly sketched in the air, and soon a complex ritual array took shape.

As Melen activated the ritual array, strange fluctuations spread and wisps of clouds gathered in front of him.

Melen casually shot out a large amount of blood and energy into the cloud, saying, "Send me a way. When we reach our destination, I will give you another equal amount of blood and energy."

This cloud is naturally the little god that Melen "invited" to help him fly in the clouds, which is also a feature of Shinto.

In martial arts, even if one has cultivated to the level of a Grandmaster, there are still many things that are difficult to accomplish.

The clouds took the benefit without delay, gathered at Mellen's feet, lifted him up, and flew away quickly.

Chapter 354 Going to the God Worship Sect

"When there is dust in your heart, clouds will naturally roll in; when your mind is at peace, clouds will naturally dissipate."

Melen stood above the white clouds, experiencing this artistic conception that was completely different from his own flying.

The flying speed of the cloud was quite good, so even though Melen had already arrived at a populated area, he had no intention of changing to other means of transportation. Instead, he planned to ride the cloud all the way to the Holy City.

Because Mellen was high above the ground, he wasn't worried about being seen, or even if he was seen, it didn't matter.

Just as Mellen was racking his brains to find some poems to express his feelings at the moment, a roar was heard. He turned around and saw a passenger plane breaking through the clouds and heading in the direction he was flying.
