Chapter 1790: The Spring and Autumn Ceremony?

Creak!

As time passed, the gap in the door grew wider and wider. Zhang Xuan focused his mind and quickly slipped inside.

After the upgrade that had lasted over a month, he really wanted to see what changes had occurred!

What met his eyes were still countless bookshelves and books, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, stretching beyond sight.

When he first obtained the library, the books here were merely illusory, but now they had been filled with real volumes, a dazzling array beyond count.

Over the past year or so, the number of books he had read surely made him the foremost person on the continent, with no one else surpassing him.

Especially within the mountain of books—though the time was not long, the books he had read covered all knowledge and changes from ancient to present, greatly elevating his mind and wisdom.

Hmm? A staircase has appeared here...

Walking deeper into the library, he hadn't gone far before a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

The library before, though towering, had only one floor. But now a staircase had appeared—could there be more floors above?

He set his foot on the staircase, but after just one step, he involuntarily stumbled and nearly fell.

This is fake?

His face turned ugly.

The staircase before him was, like the books earlier, illusory. Not only could he not walk up it, he couldn't even touch it.

It wasn't there before, but now a row of illusory stairs had appeared—what was going on?

Could it be like the books earlier, needing to encounter real stairs to be completed?

He speculated silently.

When he first obtained the library, the books on the shelves were like this—visible but ungraspable. Only later, after reading countless books, were they completed. Could this staircase be the same?

But... he had experience with books; how could he supplement a staircase?

Never mind...

After thinking for a long time without knowing what to do, Zhang Xuan shook his head and continued forward. After a while, he stopped again.

Not only had a staircase appeared, but the internal structure seemed to have changed as well. At some point, a quiet room had appeared deep in the library.

From the outside, it looked like a giant book.

A reading room?

He showed confusion again.

A normal library has places for reading and studying. Before, there was none here, so he hadn't thought much of it. Could it be that after this upgrade, such a place had appeared?

Would reading here be faster than outside?

He pushed the door and entered.

This door, unlike the staircase, could be pushed open easily. As soon as he stepped inside, his expression changed.

The flow of time here is different from the outside?

With his understanding of the laws of time, he could easily sense that the flow of time here was completely different from the outside world.

It's probably... ten to one!

He clenched his fists.

A ten-to-one time flow meant that cultivating here for ten days would equal only one day outside!

However, if only consciousness enters here, at most it can hone martial techniques; it's not much help for cultivation!

After the excitement, he also understood the drawback.

The library could only be entered with the mind, somewhat similar to the Zhang family's blood pool. It could at most temper the spirit and deepen understanding of techniques and cultivation methods, but it didn't actually help much with one's own cultivation base.

The Heaven's Path cultivation method was not complicated to begin with. Even with a tenfold increase in speed, the effect on him was not significant.

Raising one level in an hour versus raising one in twelve minutes... was there a big difference?

It seemed it really didn't amount to much.

After all, an hour wasn't really a waste of time.

Shaking his head, he was just thinking this function was quite useless when his spirit suddenly stirred. He felt the true qi in his body begin to circulate along with his thoughts.

No... here, I can mobilize the power within my body and cultivate according to the time flow here. That means... although my physical body cannot enter, I still have a tenfold increase in cultivation speed...

His eyes lit up, and Zhang Xuan was filled with excitement.

He had thought this thing was just for show, but it turned out to be so powerful!

When he cut himself off from the Master Teacher Academy and restored his strength, it had taken him a full month. With this thing, he could fully recover in three days!

Ordinary severed fingers or arms could probably be restored in one or two breaths!

This way, not only will my cultivation speed increase, but my recovery speed will also greatly improve. I won't have to fear injuries anymore...

With the Heaven's Path cultivation method, progress was certainly not slow, but once the foundation was damaged, recovery was too slow.

For instance, this time it took a full month. If someone had taken the opportunity to attack, he might not have been able to resist.

But now, with this room, the problem was completely solved.

A tenfold time difference was enough for quantitative change to lead to qualitative change, allowing him to advance to a higher level.

Not only that, but cultivating here made his thoughts clearer, giving him a feeling of being in the Confucian Temple...

He smiled slightly.

After only a short while in the room, he felt as if countless literary fortunes were flooding into his mind, making his thoughts clearer, his whole body refreshed, and his thoughts unhindered.

He stayed in place to consolidate his cultivation for a while, feeling that the state of Heart's Blood Surge had been fully stabilized and was ready to break through to the Immortality realm at any moment.

No wonder this upgrade took so long—it was indeed much more powerful than before.

Whether it was the staircase or this room, both added new elements to the library.

Pushing open the door and leaving the room, he was about to return his consciousness to his body when Zhang Xuan suddenly froze in place.

This is a book that can alter time—could it be... the Spring and Autumn Ceremony?

He had seen with his own eyes that Luo Ruoxin had refined the Spring and Autumn Ceremony, but after she left, he had fallen into a coma, and the library began to upgrade.

The Spring and Autumn Ceremony had the ability to alter time—this was known to every peak master teacher on the Master Teacher Continent. The library suddenly gaining this ability made him involuntarily suspicious.

He quickly looked at the room before him.

It was exactly like a book. He hadn't paid attention earlier, but now that he carefully sensed it, it was indeed very similar to the Spring and Autumn Ceremony he had seen before.

Although he had never touched the Ceremony, he had taken a special look at it when it appeared. The feeling it gave him was no different from this room, except that the latter seemed like an impotent version, lacking such a rich aura.

Could it be... she placed the Spring and Autumn Ceremony here, triggering the library's upgrade?

Clenching his fists, Zhang Xuan's face was full of disbelief.

He had only learned of Luo Ruoxin's knowledge of the library's existence at the very end, which had already shocked him beyond words. Could she have also placed the Spring and Autumn Ceremony inside, merging the two completely to form such a room?

Was it real or not?

If so, who exactly was she?

And what relationship did she have with the Library of Heaven's Path?

For a moment, Zhang Xuan's mind was filled with confusion, and he was completely dazed.

The gap is gradually narrowing. If you have votes, please cast them for Old Ya! Thank you!
