Tianwu Empire, outside the imperial capital, Tianwu City.

Xuanyuan Zi Long raised his head and looked at the city in front of him that couldn't be described with any words, his expression was filled with disbelief. He never thought that the capital of a common level cultivator empire would have such an imposing aura. Although it was not comparable to the Divine Dragon City, which was located in the Divine Dragon Palace, in terms of extravagance and delicacy, it was not inferior to the Divine Dragon City in size at all. However, Xuanyuan Zilong knew that this was the capital of a common level cultivator.

Actually, Xuanyuan Zilong felt that this city could still be called a city? Every ten feet, there would be a row of openings that could be closed. According to the people who came to the city, those openings were actually rows after rows of magic crystal energy cannon. Even an ordinary Mysterious Master would have to retreat before being able to enter.

The bustling and clamorous sounds assaulted their senses, and they could only see rows upon rows of ancient and elegant buildings. The shade of the trees on both sides was thick, and the pedestrians were bustling with activity as they looked at the human head. Compared to Divine Dragon City, this city was more than ten times more prosperous.

However, Xuanyuan Zilong didn't find it strange. Divine Dragon City was a place that true cultivators yearned for, there were even more people who had some achievements in their cultivation, and there were even more people who pursued the supreme way of cultivation. As the capital of the imperial city, although Tianwu City had many experts, most of them were Mortal Realm cultivators. Other than cultivating, they also needed to ensure their own survival. Naturally, they had to work …

There were horse carriages and carriages in Tianwu City, and they had to be charged for even walking. If one stayed in the city for a long time, he or she could pay the annual monthly fees at a preferential price. In fact, with the addition of the horse and horse carriages, the speed of the people riding the horse and horse carriages would be much faster and the fees would also be reasonable. Otherwise, given the size of Sky Martial City, it would take at least two days to walk from one side of the city gate to the other.

Xuanyuan Zilong and Zhao Jun had arrived at a luxurious restaurant in the business center of Sky Martial City. This kind of luxurious restaurant was very expensive, but to Xuanyuan Zilong, having thousands of low-grade spirit stones a day was like a drizzle to him, and the most important thing was to be comfortable.

I got a luxurious suite and finally settled in." Master, now that we are at Tianwu City, what do you plan to do next? " "Master Zhao asked." Not for now? Let's take a rest first, and then we'll take a walk around. " Xuanyuan Zilong said with a smile.

In truth, Xuanyuan Zilong had come to Tianwu City without a goal. He had only come out to play and as for why he had come to Martial Spirit Continent, that was only a random choice. However, when he came to Martial Spirit Continent, he had heard of the Tianwu Empire and Tianwu Imperial City, so he had come to take a look.

Furthermore, Xuanyuan Zilong had heard that the Tianwu Empire's Royal Library had an extremely rich collection of books. Although he had seen the Divine Dragon Palace's library, that library was definitely different from the libraries in these empires. Then, he would need to understand something different, or perhaps the life of a cultivator at the Mortal Realm.

When the lanterns were lit, Xuanyuan Zilong and Zhao Jun sat at a table in the restaurant near the window. As they ate, they observed the people around them.

Tianwu City was truly worthy of being called one of the largest cities in the Divine Wind Continent. To think that there would be more than a dozen races dining here. Since he came to this universe, he had seen many races that went to the ocean. At the beginning, he thought it was a little strange, a little fresh, but now he no longer felt anything.

After eating their fill, Xuanyuan Zilong and Zhao Jun hired a carriage and went to the Imperial Library, arriving at the place where the Mortal Realm cultivators lived. Xuanyuan Zilong was already prepared to adapt to their lifestyle, instead of relying on strength like the other cultivators, who relied on everything from the start.

After getting off the carriage, Xuanyuan Zi Long admired the majestic Imperial Library and suddenly realized that there were many students wearing academy attire entering and exiting the Royal Library, many of them were young and beautiful little beauties. At this time, he astonishingly discovered that the Tianwu Academy was right next to the Imperial Library.

In the Imperial Library, there were a total of ten million books, and the nine basement levels above the ground were completely filled with books. Other than those high and middle-level techniques, skills, etc., other records of history and the lives of common cultivators could be found here as long as you wanted. There were even some lower level techniques and skills that were more popular here …

Of course, not just anyone could enter this place. Only the nobles and the students and professors from the various high-ranked academies were allowed to enter and browse through these books. Furthermore, each level had to have a corresponding level for entry. If you didn't have the status of a noble, then even if you had ten billion yuan, it would still be of no use. The privileges of a noble can be seen from this detail.

Anyone who reached the Profound Spirit level or above could enter. If you were an Emperor who was willing to come here, then there would probably be people who would beg you to come in and take a look, and the privileges of a powerhouse could be seen.

In a dark alley not far from the Imperial Library, Xuanyuan Zilong and Zhao Jun walked out. They were wearing the uniform of the Tianwu Academy. He looked around and walked towards the entrance of the Imperial Library.

After checking the student card, Xuanyuan Zilong smoothly entered the card. Heh heh, the clothes of Xuanyuan Zilong and the Starlord were naturally not stolen back. He was wearing another set of Heavenly Weapon Emperor Dragon God Armor. He wanted to change it into whatever kind of clothes he wanted to wear.

Zhao Junye was even less worried. He could change his clothes however he wanted, the ability of a Titled Heavenly Emperor was unimaginable, and the so called student card was just an illusion.

According to the rules, students of the Tianwu Academy could only read on the third and first floor of the underground palace.

The books here were all distributed from the lowest level to the highest, and the lowest level were all the most basic of books. Even a few new students of the Heaven Martial High School would not be able to read the books inside, because the content inside was simply too simple.

Thus, when Xuanyuan Zi Long walked in, other than the rows and rows of densely packed bookshelves, there was basically no one else. Moreover, the air was filled with a ghastly and damp smell.

"I was wondering why there isn't anyone here. This place is filled with dense Yin Qi, it's like a ghost house." Xuanyuan Zilong muttered to himself. He felt it carefully, but he did not discover the presence of ghosts here. However, this was to be expected. The majestic Imperial Family's Royal Academy actually had a Yin Spirit. This caused a huge ruckus. Perhaps it was due to the heavy moisture underground, as well as the mental reaction from being too quiet. However, the Starlord frowned, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, however, he didn't.

Xuanyuan Zilong was strolling around the bookshelves one by one. He would randomly take out one or two of each bookshelf he passed by, and Hei Zhuo just silently followed behind him. Although this was only the most basic of knowledge, there were tens of thousands of different categories. At the very least, Xuanyuan Zilong had many things that he did not understand the slightest bit.

After taking a few dozen books, Xuanyuan Zilong randomly picked a spot and focused his entire mind into it. Time passed unknowingly. Suddenly, the magic light went out and the library sank into darkness.

"So fast?" Xuanyuan Zilong stood up and stretched. Darkness did not have much of an impact on him, but he did not like to read in this kind of environment, so he did not plan on reading anymore.

But at this moment, Xuanyuan Zilong's heart skipped a beat. He felt a cold chill coming from the side, and when he turned his head, he saw a translucent figure floating over. This person's long hair covered his face and his pale little hands formed claws.

The person standing behind Xuanyuan Zilong was about to make a move, but Xuanyuan Zilong shook his head and stopped him. At the same time, he said something unknown and suddenly disappeared. As if he had received a huge shock, his body collapsed backwards, and with a bang, he fell onto the ground, no longer reacting at all.

The ghostly figure was shocked when it saw this. It tossed its long hair, revealing a delicate face as beautiful as a porcelain doll. However, its face appeared pale without a trace of blood.

"Brother, please wake up. I was just joking with you. Please don't die." The young girl floated in front of Xuanyuan Zi Long and cried out anxiously, but he still did not move, his heart had stopped beating, and he no longer breathed.

"Wuwu, don't die. I really didn't do it on purpose." The girl seemed to be frightened and began sobbing.

"Wow, I died so miserably." Right at this time, Xuanyuan Zilong suddenly sat up straight like a zombie. His eyes were bulging, and his long tongue was sticking out of his mouth.

Ah …" The girl cried out in fear and floated backwards, hiding behind a bookshelf. After a long while, the girl timidly stretched out half a head, only to find that Xuanyuan Zilong was looking at her with a beaming smile.

"Brother, you're so evil, you scared me to death." The young girl came to a realization and patted her chest before floating out again.

"Haven't you already died? The one who should be scared to death should be me. " Where did this yin spirit come from? He had not noticed it at all just now, but he was confident that in terms of perception, even if he did not use his soul space, he would not be inferior to an ordinary profound Monarch. Moreover, this ghost seemed to be able to maintain all of the spiritual memories of its past life. Normally, only when the deceased had reached a certain level of strength before death and had certain conditions could they do so. However, this little girl clearly did not belong to this category.

The girl's expression was somewhat dejected, but she only softly said, "I'm sorry."

Xuanyuan Zilong couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. Yin spirits were incomparably evil in the eyes of ordinary people, and they instinctively devoured the spiritual forces of living people to strengthen themselves, but the Yin Spirit in front of their eyes was so timid. Not only would it be scared by a living person, it would even apologize to one of them.

"I'm just joking, little girl. Tell me, why are you here?" Xuanyuan Zilong asked in a gentle tone when he saw the girl's somewhat impatient expression.

"Ever since I was young, I've never been in good health. I once ran here to read a book, but then my heart suddenly hurt and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was like this, and I couldn't get out of this room, so I stayed here forever." The young girl said.

"Then where are you usually hiding? Why can't I sense your aura? " Xuanyuan Zilong asked.

The young girl did not hesitate to bring Xuanyuan Zi Long to the innermost shelf. She pointed to a book called "Holy Spirit" and said, "This is my small nest. I can only come out after the lights are turned off."

Xuanyuan Zilong reached out his hand and touched the book with his fingers. It was as if he was lightly electrocuted and felt a little bit numb. He pulled on the book and discovered that he was not moving at all, as if he was growing on it.

"By the way, little girl, what's your name?" Xuanyuan Zilong's thoughts spun a few times as he asked.

"My name is Ling Xue. Pratt, this brother, what about you? " The girl replied, seemingly very excited to be able to recognize Xuanyuan Zilong.

Hearing this name, Xuanyuan Zilong couldn't help but be startled. He had understood before, Plard was the surname of the Imperial Family, and Sky Martial Empire's Grand Princess was called Ling Shuang. Pratt, could it be that the two of them are sisters?

Xuanyuan Zilong asked. If that was the case, Ling Shuang would never be able to win. Prad was the Grand Princess, while Lingxue was the Fifth Princess. However, when her elder sister Lingshuang was mentioned, Lingxue's tone carried a trace of fear. This caused Xuanyuan Zilong to suspect if Ling Xue's sudden death in the library had anything to do with her. After all, he was very clear on the Imperial Family's ugliness, and in order to fight for the favor and power, it was very common for them to fight each other to the bone. Perhaps it was because of the preconceived notion that the Grand Princess was so domineering and shrewd, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

However, Xuanyuan Zilong suddenly felt as if he had missed something and he couldn't help but reach out his hand to Ling Xue's hiding "book" once more. That faint feeling of numbness came over him again and the spirit energy within his body stirred.

"Has a strange aura of holy aura?" Furthermore, it was strange that it was able to channel the spirit energy in my body. " Xuanyuan Zilong could not help but be startled. There was no mistake, but a Yin Spirit hiding in a "book" with a holy aura was just too ridiculous. One had to know that holy aura was the greatest nemesis of undead. And looking at Ling Xue's body which was already in a half-solid state, with her five senses clearly visible, a normal Yin spirit was almost completely transparent. It couldn't be that Ling Xue had absorbed the holy aura to strengthen herself, right!

Xuanyuan Zilong felt as if he had discovered something very interesting …
