Chapter Nineteenth: The Book Storage Pavilion

  Tianjian Sect, in one of the courtyards within the inner sect.

  Ling Qing lay on the lawn, listening to Tuoba Xiuyi's message in the Long Sword of Youming.

  "Big brother, I roughly calculated that with your current integration of spiritual consciousness and 'BLOOD PYTHON TOTEM' at a rate of 30%... when you fully cultivate the 'HEAVENLY SWORD NINE FORMS' to its peak, it will also be the time when your spiritual consciousness is completely integrated with the 'BLOOD PYTHON TOTEM'. The most important point, you must remember that when practicing the 'HEAVENLY SWORD NINE FORMS', you must fully concentrate your spiritual consciousness into the 'YIN YANG' in your hand! Otherwise, it will all be useless effort!"

  "The 'Tianjian Jiuzhi' in the 'Tianshu Jing', has already been able to slightly communicate a certain energy between heaven and earth, although it is extremely small. However, for you to introduce the 'Xuexue Mangtuoteng' blood evil energy into the 'Youming' and merge with your spiritual consciousness, the effect is enormous. Although when you normally merge your spiritual consciousness into the 'Youming', you can also bring in a little bit of the 'Xuexue Mangtuoteng' blood evil energy, but that amount is extremely small. Wanting to achieve complete fusion, who knows when it will happen!"

  "From now on, big brother will make it short... You will completely stop cultivating your true strength from today and focus on practicing the 'Tianjian Jiushi' in the 'Tianshen Record' after merging your consciousness into the 'Youming'. Here, big brother makes a promise with you, when you fully merge your spiritual awareness with the 'Shaxuetong Totem', it will be the time for us brothers to meet again! At that time, I will also dispel your doubts about why big brother didn't let you continue cultivating your true strength."

  When Lingzhi and Tiangong Totem are fully merged, it is also the time when the two brothers meet again!

  Ling Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This big brother had indeed given him a great temptation. Indeed, Ling Qingyan was extremely puzzled as to why this big brother of his didn't allow himself to cultivate true strength, and he was completely at a loss.

  On the continent of Chongwu, almost all warriors are mainly focused on cultivating their true strength. Compared to cultivating true strength, techniques and moves are secondary. After all, even if techniques and moves are powerful, they cannot achieve cross-level challenges, at most they can only achieve cross-class. Taotie's cultivation is also a complete denial of the traditional continent of Chongwu.

  "Haha! Big brother has nothing more to say, if you want to meet big brother soon, then quickly merge your spiritual consciousness with the 'BLOOD PYTHON TOTEM'! By the way, there's one more thing, big brother wants to tell you, it's that 'YOUNG MIST' I forged for you. Although big brother can't even recognize what material that 'YOUNG MIST' is made of, but that material is absolutely extremely rare, big brother has been roaming around for many years, and only encountered a small piece of it, just enough to make one long sword."

  "You might have noticed that the 'Yu Ming' sword has never been unsheathed, not because I deliberately didn't, but because even I don't have the ability to unsheathe it. In the future, how you utilize this 'Yu Ming' will be entirely up to you to explore. However, there is one thing I am certain of: the 'Yu Ming' in your hand is absolutely more valuable than any other treasure I possess..."

  Tuoba Xiu's words ended here. Ling Qingyan slightly opened his eyes, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "This big brother, didn't even finish speaking, what he said last was precious or powerful?"

  "Yōu Míng", Ling Qingyan gazed at the long sword in his hand, Yōu Míng. Although it had never been unsheathed, Ling Qingyan could clearly feel its extraordinary nature. In fact, deep down, he felt that even the sharpest of swords would be unable to leave a single mark on this Yōu Míng sword. This feeling was extremely eerie, and it was something that Ling Qingyan sensed through the icy chill emanating from the Yōu Míng sword.

  "Ah!"

  With a movement of his heart, Ling Qingyan had already put the Yōmei Long Sword in his left hand into the Bǎinà Jiè. "Now, it's time to go find the Sect Master... Ah, Sect Master Shīxiōng. It's time to go ask him for that Tianjian Zong's highest secret manual 'Tianjian Lù', the 'Tianjian Nine Styles'..."

  He stood up and brushed off the grass clippings that had stuck to his body, and then strolled leisurely in the direction of Jian Xiao Ge.

  ………

  An old man and a young one, two figures headed towards the Tianjian Sect's library.

  It was Ling Qingyan and Lian Jun, the master of that Tianjian Sect. After finding Lian Jun in the backyard of Jian Xiao Pavilion, Ling Qingyan directly stated his intention. And Lian Jun, because of Master Guan Zhong's entrustment, did not dare to neglect this younger brother either, so he took out the "Tianshen Dian" from the Baina Jie without saying a word and handed it over to Ling Qingyan.

  "The Heavenly Sword Canon" is the highest secret scripture of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Normally, inner sect disciples cultivate through direct oral transmission from their masters, with each segment being passed down one by one. Except for the sect master, few people have ever laid eyes on the original copy of "The Heavenly Sword Canon". And now, Ling Qingyan has also become a pioneer in this regard. But who would have thought that he was the junior apprentice of the previous generation's sect master and the younger brother of the current generation's sect master?

  In the slightly surprised eyes of Lian Jun, he put away the "Tianjian Dian" in the Baina Ring. Next, Ling Qingyan said that he needed some classics about the "Talent Totem". Lian Jun then took Ling Qingyan directly to the Tianjian Sect's library.

  Before long, they arrived in front of a building with the words "Cangshu Pavilion" written on the plaque above it. Ling Qingyan knew that this was their destination. Looking at the several middle-aged inner disciples standing around the Cangshu Pavilion, Ling Qingyan's spiritual sense casually swept over them and he already knew that these disciples were all blue-grade warriors.

  It seems that the Tianjian Sect attaches great importance to this "Cangshu Pavilion".

  Also, for some reason, after knowing that the so-called "consciousness exploration" he had been doing before could only be sensed by top-level warriors or boundary warriors close to the top level, Ling Qingyan often used his spiritual sense without any scruples. As he said in his heart, this kind of behavior was also a good way to practice his spiritual sense.

  Following Lian Jun, Ling Qingyan went up to the second floor. In the midst of the respectful voices of the disciples guarding the building on the second floor, Ling Qingyan followed Lian Jun into the library on the second floor.

  "The secret books on this side are all about the records of 'Tianfu Totem'."

  Arriving in front of a secluded bookshelf, Lian Jun said to Ling Qingyan beside him: "You carefully search for it, take what you need, and remember to return it later."

  After finishing speaking, Lian Jun walked to the side and randomly took out a book from the bookshelf to read. As for the secret classics that recorded the "Talent Totem", he was not interested in the slightest. After all, it was already destined that he would never possess a "Talent Totem" in this life.

  Ling Qingyan nodded at Lian Jun and then casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf in front of him. The book was thick and ancient, obviously having been passed down for many years. Ling Qingyan's gaze had now completely converged on the cover of this book in his hand——

  "The Origin of Totem of Heaven's Gift"

  Upon seeing these seven words, Ling Qingyan suddenly became interested and casually flipped through them. Feeling that they were exactly what he needed, he directly stored them in the Baina Ring. Next, Ling Qingyan selected two more books from the bookshelf in front of him, "Detailed Description of Totem Beasts" and "The Ability of Innate Totems".

  "Alright, Big Brother!"

  Ling Qingyan obtained the three secret classics and, finding no other books that interested him, walked over to Lian Jun who was standing not far away browsing through other books and said in a low voice.

  "So soon," Lian Jun couldn't help but feel surprised, but he didn't say much more and didn't ask what kind of book Ling Qingyan had taken. He directly put the book in his hand back on the shelf, then said to Ling Qingyan, "Then let's leave now."

  They came in a hurry and left in a hurry, an old man and a young boy set foot on their way home again.
