Chapter 1379: Chapter 693: The Ring Token
So, he began to carefully observe this new space.
He noticed a bookshelf inside, on which several ancient books were neatly arranged.
Although he hadn’t approached yet, looking from this distance, he could already conclude that those books must be very ancient, containing rich historical heritage.
On the other side of the bookshelf stood a weapon rack. On the rack, tens of weapons were arrayed in dazzling display, each exuding a fierce aura, as if capable of dispelling all evils in the world. However, what attracted Lin Beichen’s attention the most was a humanoid object in the corner.
He guessed that the humanoid object might not be a real person, nor a phantom like the old man from before. If such a creature truly existed within this space, he believed he would have sensed it early on, and the other party would not hesitate to reveal itself.
Just as he was about to walk over to examine the humanoid object, two Daoist Robes suddenly came into view.
For Daoism, the Daoist Robe holds a crucial position. Whether dispelling evil or performing blessing rituals, a well-made Daoist Robe can play a vital role.
Such robes are often treasured possessions handed down through generations and rarely are newly made.
He walked slowly to the Daoist Robe and found that these two robes had obviously been through a lot, with some stains that hadn’t been completely cleaned.
From these stains, it was not hard to see that these two robes had been through numerous fierce battles with evil.
After carefully examining the robes, Lin Beichen turned around and walked towards the humanoid object.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a statue. As for who was carved on the statue, Lin Beichen didn’t know for now.
However, since the statue appeared in this space closely related to the ring, it must have a special significance for its presence.
Nevertheless, compared to the statue, Lin Beichen was more concerned with the books in the space.
In this world, Daoism was nearly lost, with few willing to genuinely believe and follow it.
If he could deepen his understanding of Daoism through these books and pass them on, it would undoubtedly be a precious and valuable thing.
Thinking of this, he walked slowly to the bookshelf to carefully study the books on it.
However, when he casually took a book from the shelf, he was suddenly stunned in place. He never imagined that the book he randomly picked would be a Daoist classic, which brightened his eyes and filled his heart with joy.
Understandably, not all Daoist classics were completely lost.
These classics carried the heritage of Daoism and were also of great historical value to archaeologists.
However, due to the relatively backward preservation methods of ancient books and paper-making skills, books from that era are hard to preserve to this day.
Moreover, frequent ancient wars led many books to be destroyed in the flames of war.
And the Daoist Classic he held was precisely an already lost Daoist Skill text.
This held extraordinary significance for him.
Subsequently, he took out a few more classics from the shelf to read. He discovered that each classic here was perfectly preserved, with Daoist Skills recorded in them that he had never seen before.
These classics were several times more precious to Lin Beichen than gold or monetary wealth.
After carefully studying the classics on the bookshelf, he turned around and walked towards the weapon rack.
The variety of weapons on the weapon rack left Lin Beichen dazzled.
Eventually, his gaze fell on a longsword. He reached for the longsword and carefully observed it.
When his eyes fell on the blade, he unexpectedly found three large characters engraved on it—Celestial Cloud Sword!
Celestial Cloud... Sword? These three words made Lin Beichen think of the Celestial Cloud Temple he had been to before.
One is a temple, the other a sword, seemingly unrelated, yet he always felt there was some inexplicable connection between them.
If this Celestial Cloud Sword was indeed related to the Celestial Cloud Temple, it didn’t matter. After all, he already knew the secrets of the Celestial Cloud Temple inside and out.
Even though he couldn’t completely eradicate the cult organization Feilun Sect yet, he firmly believed that one day, he would personally destroy this cult organization!
As he held the Celestial Cloud Sword, he suddenly felt the space begin to distort, and his body involuntarily moved in one direction.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was pushing him from behind. This sensation made Lin Beichen vaguely aware that he might be about to leave this Illusion Realm.
Sure enough, immediately his vision went dark, and his consciousness briefly faded. When he regained awareness, he found himself back in the Zhou Family’s study.
On the desk in front of him, the letter previously placed was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a pile of ashes. It seemed that just as he entered the Illusion Realm, the letter had self-combusted.
He gently stirred the paper ash in front of him and found that although the letter had allowed him to enter the Illusion Realm, the pile of ash seemed to contain nothing special. However, this action made him notice the ring on his hand.
This ring was the one gifted to him by the old man in the Illusion Realm. He had always thought it was an illusion in the letter, so he believed everything in the Illusion Realm was not real.
But he never imagined that the ring would still securely sit on his hand, which surprised him greatly.
