Chapter 228
“Li Su, please~” In the Western Realm, the voice of the Sect Master Lu echoed through the Xuantian Academy.
After several years of taking on disciples in the expansive Mangkang Mountains, Li Su finally made the journey to the Western Realm and arrived at the Xuantian Academy. He aimed to access the academy’s extensive collection of books, encompassing various subjects.
The Xuantian Academy’s library included texts on formations, alchemy, artifact crafting, and many other topics, such as unconventional and esoteric practices, puppetry, arcane arts, rune crafting, physical cultivation, and combat techniques. Li Su was naturally interested in these materials, as he had made considerable progress in these areas but still lacked in-depth knowledge.
After waiting several years in the Mangkang Mountains without indicating that the sect master’s family would send assistance, Li Su visited the Xuantian Academy to borrow some of the confidential manuals. The long waiting period suggested that the Nascent Soul Peak expert hadn’t relayed the message or that the woman hadn’t been able to find suitable individuals to assist her, making her hesitant to take action.
It appeared that the woman was biding her time, waiting until she could amass a powerful force before launching a decisive attack against the sect master. The likelihood was high that she had already dispatched agents to infiltrate the Northern Realm, but given the vastness of that territory, locating these agents presented a formidable challenge. However, Li Su wasn’t overly concerned. On Mangkang Mountain, both the Flying Immortal Sect and the Li Clan’s grand formation had seamlessly merged with the natural geomantic formation, deterring any potential attackers even in his absence.
Thanks to the influence of the Xuantian Academy, the Western Territory has a much higher literacy rate in its secular nations than in the other realms. Even small traders and vendors here are articulate and well-read.
Under the guidance of the Sect Master Lu, the two of them arrived at a towering tower with a thousand floors. Inside this tower were collections of books related to cultivation.
“This is what I’ve spent a thousand years collecting and organizing. Feel free to read them. There are some restrictions on each floor as you go higher, but it shouldn’t be a problem for you,” Sect Master Lu explained.
“Thank you, senior.”
“These books have significant gaps, and some techniques may not be complete. Please be cautious as you read,” Sect Master Lu advised.
“Understood.”
After a brief explanation, Sect Master Lu left, and Li Su began reading the books in the tower. This tower was unique because as you ascended each level, there was a small test related to the core books on the next floor. Li Su spent a whole year in this tower.
