Chapter 101: Chapter 87: Returning to the Origin, the True Phoenix is Born!_1
Meanwhile, at Daozang Mountain, Chen Chang’an had already returned.
Yes, the ’urgent business’ he mentioned to Black Impermanence and the others was just an excuse.
He simply did not want to stay at the Immortal Fire Mountain.
After returning to the mountain, Chen Chang’an went to the Scripture Repository.
"Disperse~!"
First, he waved his hand to dissolve his previous virtual Dharma Body. Then, he entered the interior of the Scripture Repository.
The Scripture Repository on Daozang Mountain used to be the repository for the entire Tianshui Sect, hence its considerable size.
Excluding the few rooms Chen Chang’an used for sleeping and daily life, many other rooms were present.
Chen Chang’an now entered the room at the very back on the right.
"Creak~!"
Upon reaching the door, Chen Chang’an pushed it open and entered the room.
However, once inside, he found nothing.
But Chen Chang’an was not surprised, indicating this was intentionally done.
He then approached one of the walls in the room.
"Let Heaven and Earth reveal the truth, open!"
With a slight shout, immediately after...
Humming~!
An energy burst from him and acted on the wall.
Then, the next moment...
Creak creak creak~!
A ’creaking’ sound was heard, and a secret door suddenly opened on the smooth white wall.
Inside the secret door, as the door opened, the corridor lights automatically turned on.
These weren’t ordinary lights but were illuminations emitted by a creature known as ’Halo’.
These Halos shone throughout their lives.
For them, each lamp was a home.
As long as they reside in these lamps, their lifespan is virtually eternal.
Theoretically, as long as the lamp does not extinguish, they will exist indefinitely, even throughout eternity.
As a result, in the Wuxiang realm, whether it’s the secret terrain of a major sect, the grave of a great figure, or the secret chamber of a high-class figure, all the lamps used were lamps occupied by this Halo species.
Chen Chang’an’s room also used such lamps, not because it was any mysterious terrain or a tomb.
It was simply more convenient this way.
After opening the secret door, Chen Chang’an walked in.
After passing through a not-so-long corridor, he arrived in a spacious area.
It was a place resembling a library.
There were several dozen rows of bookshelves.
Each row of bookshelves had ten shelves.
Adding them up, there were more than a hundred shelves.
Every shelf was neatly filled with books.
From far to near.
Tens of thousands of books were collected here.
The books here were not ordinary books but were books that Chen Chang’an had read over the years and extracted Divine Skills from.
The books were categorised according to the types of Divine Skills obtained.
For example, a book named "Slaughter Path", from which Demon Path Divine Skills could be obtained, was placed on the shelf labeled ’’Demon path Divine Skills’’.
Besides categorizing according to Divine Skills, Chen Chang’an also classified them based on the levels for Divine Skills at high levels, i.e., those above the Sixth Stage.
Such as Six Realms Reincarnation, Three Thousand Buddha Lands and so on.
Once he reached this place, Chen Chang’an took out "The Grand Cosmic Scripture" which he was carrying.
Then, he put it on the bookshelf representing ’Eighth Stage’ Divine Skills.
Now, this means that including "The Grand Cosmic Scripture", five books had been gathered.
This also implied that Chen Chang’an had mastered five types of Eighth Stage Divine Skills.
However, even after mastering five Eight Stage Divine Skills, Chen Chang’an still had no clue about reaching the Ninth Stage.
The Ninth Stage, in this world, was an unprecedented existence.
Breaking through it might not be so easy.
But, when a book is read a hundred times, its meaning reveals itself.
Chen Chang’an had an intuition.
The chance for him to breakthrough to the Ninth Stage was most likely hidden in these books.
Moreover, it seemed that his Dao was inseparable from the Six Realms Reincarnation.
Of course, this was just his speculation. Whether it was accurate or not remains unknown.
After putting back "The Grand Cosmic Scripture", Chen Chang’an went to the corner labeled ’First Stage Divine Skills Area’ in the deepest part of the room.
He took out a book from the shelf and began reading it on the spot.
Although these books couldn’t grant higher level Divine Skills, it did not mean their content was lacking.
On the contrary, most of these books had excellent content.
Like "Heavenly Destiny Observance", "Monarch’s Journey", "Master", "Nation", "Confucian Life", "Teacher", "Husband and Wife", "Father and Son"... etc., are a series of small works that expound on the natural laws of heaven and earth or little stories from the mortal world.
They do not talk about cultivation techniques, only about the natural laws of heaven and earth and the ordinary principles of human relationships.
The natural laws of Heaven and Earth and the ordinary principles of human relationships have long been abandoned by countless people in this era of rampant cultivation.
But in Chen Chang’an’s view, many times, these latter things are much more important than the former.
After all, the latter is the foundation that makes this world so brilliant.
And now, the book that Chen Chang’an picked up is "Master".
Chen Chang’an did not like reading books in the secret chamber, so after picking up the book "Master", he left.
However, when he was leaving, he also took "Confucian Life", "Monarch’s Journey", "Teacher", "Nation", and several other books that were also placed in the First Stage Divine Skills area.
Returning to the courtyard, Chen Chang’an took out the reclining chair, reclined on it, and leisurely began reading the book.
