How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 179: The Idle Books in the Cangshu Pavilion

No wonder that girl named Gu Yu got so excited when she saw him; she harbors a deep grudge against Tianyan Palace.

No wonder the Lord reacted so strongly when he learned about his array mastery; because for Shenghua Valley, "Pain is dealt with by arrays, and so is calming the pain."

Tianyan Palace, selects disciples based on their appearance...

So, what about Li Sisi?

Could it be that she was admitted to Tianyan Palace?

The possibility is significant because there are very few sects that select disciples based on their appearance...

Why would they have such a bizarre method of selecting disciples?

Because this sect conducts itself differently from others.

It infiltrates other sects; it even infiltrates worldly affairs.

Beauties are used as tools, handsome men as well, all are tools, at least, in terms of infiltration.

However, a sect that uses beauty as a tool is clearly not any proper righteous sect.

The complexities of Kun Cang have now been laid out in front of Lin Xiaosu for the first time.

No wonder Blue Demon said that it’s difficult to distinguish between good and evil in Kun Cang.

Now he truly understands, it’s not that Kun Cang can’t differentiate between good and evil; it is inherently interwoven with both...

Because Kun Cang is not just one sect; it is comprised of countless leaders, countless people, each with their own philosophies and standards of conduct...

Finally, Lin Xiaosu lifted his head.

The Lord was hugely stirred.

The fate of thousands in Shenghua Valley hung in the balance, and even for a Lord adept at manipulating fate, it wasn’t easy to remain detached.

In a physical confrontation, she fears no one.

But arrays are different, utilizing the power of heaven and earth. An array acts as a cage; even a high-level cultivator locked within it is like a caged beast, possessing might yet unable to break the seal of heaven and earth.

Breaking this seal is her greatest desire.

Now, could the person before her help achieve this?

Judging by his age, he couldn’t inspire a shred of confidence in her; however, he has crossed the forbidden zones of the Ancient Array Sect, zones not even top array masters of Kun Cang could cross...

Lin Xiaosu spoke up, "My Lord, the Array Path I master is from the outside world, different from the Array Path of Kun Cang... could you procure some books on the Array Path of Kun Cang for my reference?"

Hearing the first part, the Lord felt directly rejected.

Array Path, since when is there a distinction between foreign and local?

He was clearly refusing.

But upon hearing the latter part, she wasn’t so sure.

It seemed he was still willing to resolve the issue...

The Lord said, "Our valley doesn’t possess profound books on array; otherwise, we would have deciphered them ourselves."

Lin Xiaosu responded, "We don’t need anything too profound; the more fundamental, the better... because it’s the foundational arrays that reveal their true principles."

"Foundational cultivation techniques indeed reveal the essence of cultivation techniques," the Lord remarked, "Feng Ji!"

"Present!"

"Take this young master to the Cangshu Pavilion, provide him with whatever he needs."

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaosu followed the swaying Feng Ji, walking uphill.

At the peak of the mountain, there was a cave guarded by several elders—the Cangshu Pavilion of Shenghua Valley.

Cangshu Pavilion is the core of the sect, typically inaccessible to outsiders, but exceptions always exist.

Especially when the books inside are basic, far from the true depths of the sect.

Especially when the visitor is key to liberating the entire sect...

To be honest, Lin Xiaosu felt a bit embarrassed.

The Lord had offered so many conditions that it made him itchy with anticipation.

But alas, the baby’s heart was bitter, a bitterness unspoken...

His greatest sorrow was that in array paths, about which others pinned their high hopes, he knew absolutely nothing.

He had no choice but to cram at the last minute.

I’ll learn about Array Path right here, on the spot.

The Lord also felt embarrassed; she felt that the array foundations of Shenghua Valley were too shallow, too basic, embarrassed to present them in front of this prodigious master of Array Path.

But if she knew that this "peerless talent" specifically needed the most basic enlightenment on array knowledge, who knows what she would think.

Entering the Cangshu Pavilion, Lin Xiaosu saw the vast space filled with rows of wooden shelves, all filled with books.

His heartbeat instantaneously spiked to a hundred and eighty.

Reading was a repetitive process for him.

Before age twenty, he became tired of books.

After twenty, studying for civil service exams almost made him vomit.

Before acquiring Human Tao Orchid Heart, if anyone said reading was joyful, he would argue fervently...

However, after acquiring Human Dao Orchid Heart, his whole perception changed.

He loved reading.

Not laborious, very joyful, reading anything was delightful, joy stemming from?

It stemmed from the huge gains each session brought, similar to the logic of writing, if written content brought no money, no tickets, no recognition, the author would write more anxiously, but if writing exchanged for subscriptions, rewards, and monthly tickets, the author would write with growing excitement...

Every time he read, he gained transformative insights into some field, naturally enjoying reading—even the county library was a pleasure, let alone this immensely profound treasure trove. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Young master, here are the books on Array Path," Feng Ji pointed gently toward a shelf inside.

Lin Xiaosu walked over, picked up a book.

A thread-bound book, "Basics of Array Formations"...

He skimmed it ten lines at a glance.

Quickly, he switched to another "Array Collection"...

Again, reading ten lines at a glance.

Feng Ji, standing by his side, wasn’t staring at him intentionally, but in fact, she was closely observing.

This is the Cangshu pavilion.

Though not the top one, it involves the foundation of Shenghua Valley, so one can’t just let it be destroyed, right?

The Lord might be worried and confused, treating any Array Path talent found as a lifesaving straw. She seems to be more rational than the Lord, always doubting whether this person really understands the Array at all.

The profound depth of Array is known to all on the Cultivation path.

The outside world is known as the ’Land of the End of Dharma’, and people of Kun Cang have reached a consensus on this as well.

When speaking of a young man from the outside world who is proficient in Array, why does she find it so hard to believe?

However, the manner in which this young man studies the Array instills some unusual elements in her heart bit by bit...

He truly appears to be confirming and referencing.

For he reads very quickly, practically ten lines in a single glance.

If he is not just putting on a show, then the only explanation is that his foundation in Array Path is extremely strong, making these basic Array books appear trivial to him.

This is common sense.

However, what she does not know is that this person is actually reading at his slowest pace.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart stormed with waves.

The profound concept of Array Path, spontaneously emerging and maturing in his mind, slowly forming its own outline...

Array utilizes the forces of heaven and earth to exhibit great power.

Array has thousands of purposes.

Mainly for killing, trapping, blocking, confusing, transforming...

Array is categorized, Innate Array and Acquired Array; Innate Array being the natural creation formed by the landscape, while Acquired Array involves human alteration of fate...

Array has key elements—Array Materials, Array Base, Array Patterns...

These are actually the basic theories of Array.

Knowing these, holds little use in setting up or breaking Arrays, but it filled the void in Lin Xiaosu’s understanding of Array Path.

A total of five basic Array books, Lin Xiaosu didn’t miss any, looked through all, and memorized them all.

However, it did not solve the current problem.

As the Lord said, the foundational understanding of Array in Shenghua Valley is very shallow; if there were profound Array books, wouldn’t the elder of the valley have studied the books to death already and figured out a solution to the crisis?

Is there any other opportunity?

Lin Xiaosu with his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye scanned the surrounding bookshelves, suddenly, a book caught his eye.

The characters on the cover of this book were a script he found very familiar.

It was the script that appeared in the temple and also repeatedly on the ruins last night.

Lin Xiaosu walked three steps and picked up the book.

Feng Ji had a curious look in her eyes: "Do you recognize Ancient Wilderness text?"

"I don’t! Do you?"

"I do!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat...

She knows this script!

Then the text in the temple, the stele text he memorized could be decoded by her.

He had an impulse to immediately jot down these characters and present them to her.

However, this is Kun Cang, where good and evil are hard to distinguish; this stele might involve something significant, and rationality told him it’s best not to trust anyone lightly.

The ideal method is to learn this script himself.

Learning a script from scratch is a ten-year ordeal for ordinary people.

But for him, maybe...

Lin Xiaosu asked, "What does this book say?"

Feng Ji gave a slight smile: "Just a casual book, it tells the cultivation story of a cultivator..."

"Can you read it to me?"

The smile on Feng Ji’s face stiffened: "Read it to you?"

"Yes, I’m quite interested in the cultivation stories recorded in Ancient Wilderness text."

Feng Ji said: "Now?"

"I have seen almost enough of the Array references, a bunch of information also needs to be integrated in my mind, and since I’m free anyway, listening to a cultivation story can be like giving my brain a wash."

Feng Ji appeared slightly helpless: "Alright then, I’ll read it to you..."

Feng Ji picked up the book, pointing at the cover said: "These four characters are ’Wandering Souls of the Dead’..."

Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand, picked up a stool from the ground, handed it to Feng Ji to sit, and he himself sat behind Feng Ji: "Read it..."

Feng Ji began to read the book.

Lin Xiaosu’s Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye was firmly locked.

A unique approach to language learning, thus unfolded.

No one could imagine that he was learning the Ancient Wilderness script in such a bizarre manner.

Because it was simply an impossible thing.

But under the gaze of Human Tao Orchid Heart, there is nothing that is absolutely impossible...

On the first page, Lin Xiaosu still needed to watch her eye movements align with which character, thus determining which word corresponded to that character, but after only three pages, he no longer needed to watch her focus because on this page, he already recognized some of the recurring characters, and using these characters as references, he knew which line and word she had read...

Never forgetting what he saw, and equally never forgetting what he heard, comparing the two, the Ancient Wilderness script began forming images in his brain...

Outside the cave, ten meters away, the Lord appeared at some point, standing at the cliff edge, her brows slightly furrowed.

Suddenly, a graceful figure landed beside her, it was the girl named Gu Yu.

Gu Yu’s gaze turned towards the Cangshu pavilion; her facial expressions immediately became vivid: "Master, I still feel, this lad is not a good sort."
