Chapter 402: Chapter 153: Reading the Ancient Five Methods, Gain, The Skill of Reincarnation Heaven!_1
"Big brother, if there is nothing else, I’ll be going first."
Seeing that Chen Chang’an didn’t have any other instructions, Mao Ruxue immediately bid farewell.
"Sure," nodded Chen Chang’an as he acknowledged.
Mao Ruxue left, smiling as she went. It was quite amiable.
"Ah, boy, you’re quite lucky with the ladies, aren’t you? Your younger sister disciple is growing more and more attractive."
"At this rate, she’ll be all grown up before long."
"By that time, you might really be living in dreamland."
Watching Mao Ruxue leave, Shen Xuzi expressed admiration.
"Old man, she’s my sister disciple, can you stop being so gross?"
Hearing Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an immediately frowned at him disapprovingly.
"Humph! Sister disciple? What’s wrong with that?"
Shen Xuzi argued tenaciously.
"Being a sister disciple makes things easier. Look at the history of the Wuxiang realm and tell me which pairs of brothers and sisters haven’t been part of it."
"Hey hey, kid, answer me, where are you going?"
However, in response to Shen Xuzi’s chatter, Chen Chang’an merely returned to his room.
Chen Chang’an didn’t pay any attention to Shen Xuzi, he went straight to the innermost layer of his room.
"Open."
Then, he entered through the entrance of the inner room behind him.
After arriving in the secret room, Chen Chang’an sorted all the books gathered from the Tianlong Treasury according to category and placed them neatly on the shelves.
Then, he came to a bookshelf named "Mythic Mysteries" and quickly picked up a book.
It was a broken book.
"The Record of the Emperor?"
"What’re you taking this book for, boy?"
Seeing the book that Chen Chang’an had taken, Shen Xuzi was immediately filled with puzzlement.
"To read," answered Chen Chang’an straightforwardly.
After explaining, Chen Chang’an went over to several other shelves and took a book from each of them.
Without exception, all these books were incomplete.
Some were missing a few pages, while others were almost half ruined.
Before Shen Xuzi could voice his confusion, Chen Chang’an had already suspended the book in mid-air. Following that, he took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll from the realm of space.
This was indeed the sheepskin scroll that Chen Chang’an had taken from the Tianlong Treasury, still resonating with remnants of the Dragon Qi.
The sheepskin scroll was simple and ordinary, aged and worn-out, with a few disjointed words carved on it.
’Reincarnation’, ’Mysterious Abyss’, ’Heaven and Earth’, ’Saint’, ’Fairies and Demons’
If one were not careful, anyone might think this was a discarded piece of paper.
That was indeed what it was, a discarded piece of paper that nobody wanted, but now in Chen Chang’an’s hands, it was a completely different story.
"Using the dragon as a guide, activating by its Qi, condense!"
Chen Chang’an bellowed and a breath that embodied the overwhelming power of the God of Prison rushed out.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The next moment, the sheepskin roll lit up with a sudden burst of golden light.
Next, a magical transformation began.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The pages of the books that Chen Chang’an had thrown into the air began to restore themselves one by one. In little time, the previously ruined books were completely restored.
Not only were the books restored, but even the covers were as good as new, as if they were freshly published books.
"My god, boy, what kind of magic is this?!"
"Is it a time reversal?!" shouted Shen Xuzi in astonishment.
Time reversal, how horrifying might one be to be able to do that?
"Wrong, it’s not time reversal! It’s because of the sheepskin scroll!"
Very soon, Shen Xuzi noticed the discrepancy.
Such a high-end thing as time reversal would never appear in this world!
Even if it did, it wouldn’t have been something that they could control.
Never mind Chen Chang’an, it would be too much even for those who exist perpetually in the river of time.
So, there was only one truth, and that was the sheepskin scroll Chen Chang’an had displayed before!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
However, by this time, the sheepskin roll had turned to flying ash, leaving only five bright orange books suspended in mid-air - Shen Xuzi could no longer investigate further.
Each book was quite thick, about as thick as a man’s arm, wide like a scroll.
On the cover of each were the different names: ’Reincarnation’, ’Mysterious Abyss’, ’Heaven and Earth’, ’Saint’, ’Fairies and Demons’.
Five books, encompassing almost all the mysteries of the world.
This is a book from the Ancient Era!
Shen Xuzi was undoubtedly sure because the text on the books was typical of the ancient era.
The Ancient Era, the oldest period in the Wuxiang realm.
There were so many sad and difficult stories there.
Although Shen Xuzi was a person who had lived through that era, strictly speaking, he hadn’t experienced it.
He was just a passerby, who unknowingly made it to today without any significant involvement in that era.
But what Shen Xuzi couldn’t understand was that although these books were very ancient, they were all just anecdotal tales and had little use in cultivation. He didn’t understand why Chen Chang’an went through so much trouble to find these things.
"Boy, you’re not going to tell me that you went to so much trouble to go to the Tianlong Treasury just for these books, are you?"
