Chu Nian picked up the crystal heart and exclaimed in surprise, "This token is so peculiar, it's actually made in the shape of a heart."
Bai Ze: "Hehe!"
Chu Nian: What do you mean by this? Are you mocking me for being ignorant?
Bai Ze said, "Let's go in!" and stepped into the barrier first.
Chu Nian quickly followed.
Upon entering the barrier, all that could be seen was a dense fog.
However, the fog seemed to have no effect on Bai Ze. Its sense of direction should be very strong, as it kept walking forward. After walking for about half an hour, Chu Nian found that they had arrived at a sea of flowers.
This sea of flowers felt so familiar to Chu Nian, somewhat like the Divine Flower Sea she entered when she transmigrated into Hua Nian.
Bai Ze asked, "What brings you to the Xuan Yuan Sect? Do you want to become its disciple?"
Chu Nian: "No, I just want to go into their library and treasure vault to take a look." If I can, I'll go in; if not, just looking around is fine too. Becoming a disciple or something is really unnecessary.
Her primary goal was to find a method for converting Xuan Qi energy. Her enemy was already at the twelfth level of Xuan Qi; how many years would it take her to bring him to justice if she cultivated Xuan Qi now?
She asked, "Does your map show the location of the library?"
Bai Ze: "No."
Chu Nian then released her spiritual power to search for the library. At first, her spiritual power was blocked by an energy barrier, but she quickly broke through it and found the library.
Half a quarter of an hour later, she entered the library without any hindrance and without even encountering a single person along the way.
"With your token, you can freely enter and exit the library?" Chu Nian asked in amazement.
Bai Ze: "Of course. I already said, Jiang Bai is a pretty reliable guy."
Chu Nian began to browse through the books here.
The library here is vast, truly an ocean of books. She figured that even with her strong mental power, it would take her at least several months to read through it all, so she decided to store the books in her Soul Ruins and read them slowly when she got back.
Bai Ze stopped her, saying, "Many of these books contain lost profound techniques and arts from the current Xuanmen sect. If you accept them like this, even if a suitable successor emerges in the future, there won't be a way to pass them on. Can't you just not accept them?"
Chu Nian thought about it and agreed. The Xuan Yuan Sect hadn't provoked her, so she shouldn't take away all the books that the sect had painstakingly collected and organized over the years.
"But with so many books, it might take me a long time to read them all," Chu Nian said with a hint of helplessness.
Bai Ze remained silent, thinking to himself: It seems like it only took me a few days to finish reading so many books before!
However, Chu Nian quickly came up with another idea: using Yi Nian's scanning and copying abilities, he could simply make a copy of all these books.
Actually, this method is better than simply moving it away.
You see, Chu Nian has traveled through so many worlds, and not every time she encounters a collection of books, they belong to an enemy or are unclaimed. She has no grudge against these people and has never even met them. If she were to directly accept the ancient books that these people have painstakingly collected, she would ultimately feel guilty.
But copying is different. She doesn't touch the original collection; she just makes another copy, so she feels no burden at all.
Copying is much slower than moving books; it would probably take ten days or so to copy all of them. Chu Nian had been engrossed in these books for the past few days and hadn't left the library, so naturally she hadn't run into any Xuan Yuan Sect disciples, and nothing had happened.
She thought things would continue like this, but one day, after she had entered the third floor of the library, she suddenly heard some noise downstairs, rustling sounds, and footsteps that were... tiptoeing and sneaking around.
Judging from the noise, it seems that someone else has sneaked into this library. Are they here to peek at the books as well?
Chu Nian was startled and also a little puzzled: Logically speaking, the Xuan Yuan Sect is an ancient sect, and very few people should know about it. Those who can find their way in, find the library, and successfully infiltrate it must be even rarer.
She was able to enter this place with the help of the ancient divine beast Bai Ze. So, what kind of background, ability, or outside help did this other infiltrator have to get in?
Even before meeting him, she sensed that this person was no ordinary individual. It was best if the two of them didn't run into each other.
So when she heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs, she immediately found a secluded spot and used her mental power to set up layers of barriers to hide herself.
The library had five floors, but the person only went up to the third floor and then stopped. Although Chu Nian didn't see the person, she heard the sound of turning pages behind the bookshelves, and then put down one book and turned to another.
It seems the other person is looking for a book.
Chu Nian realized that the other person's movements were getting closer to her, so she held her breath even more and completely concealed her aura.
puff!
Just then, a strange sound came from Bai Ze's rear end, and a foul stench quickly spread behind the barrier set up by Chu Nian.
Although Chu Nian was holding her breath, her five senses were still strong, and her skin was breathing silently. The smell was so strong that it spread from her skin into her body, making her feel extremely disgusted.
Unfortunately, because of the barrier, the stench couldn't dissipate.
Unable to bear it any longer, Chu Nian initiated a soul-to-soul communication with Bai Ze: "How can a divine beast like you fart?"
Bai Ze replied helplessly, "Who told you that divine beasts don't fart?" After a pause, he said even more helplessly, "I'm really sorry, I just couldn't hold it in and was forced to fart."
Heaven and earth can bear witness, it was truly forced into this situation. That person said if it didn't remove this woman from the barrier, it wouldn't be allowed to play with it anymore. It was like a beast under the eaves, forced to bow its head!
It still needs to find the things its owner lost!
Helpless, Chu Nian quickly removed the barrier and used a wind spell to make the stench dissipate rapidly.
"Pfft, what's that smell?" Chu Nian heard someone say from behind the bookshelf not far away.
Just as Chu Nian was about to set up another barrier to hide herself, the person behind the bookshelf, perhaps sensing her presence, tilted their head and looked over.
"Who are you?" Chu Nian saw a masked man whose nose and above were covered by a New Year's picture doll-face mask, staring at her and questioning her.
Chu Nian: "I..." She was thinking about how to answer when she turned her head and was immediately stunned: Where is Bai Ze? That beast hid himself, good! You're amazing!
As expected of a mythical beast, it hid itself so silently. She was a little annoyed: This beast is so disloyal.
The masked man had already approached, and because he was much taller than Chu Nian's small frame, he could only look down at her and said, "Why aren't you answering the question?"
Chu Nian: "What right do you have to ask me? Tell me who you are first!"
The masked man chuckled, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said, "I am the master of this place."
