Chapter 302: Gratitude!
After a moment.
The Librarian also returned to the Library.
The divine sense that was projected outside swept a glance at Liu Zimo, who was still quietly reading on the third floor. The Librarian nodded approvingly.
Then, with a flicker of his figure, he appeared directly in front of Liu Zimo.
"Disciple Liu Zimo, greetings to Senior Librarian!"
Liu Zimo pretended to have just noticed the Librarian and quickly stood up to pay his respects.
The Librarian nodded lightly at Liu Zimo and then waved his right hand.
Swish!
In an instant, tens of thousands of books and Jade Slips appeared out of thin air and were all piled up in the center of the third floor.
"These are the spoils of war obtained from the Broken Star Palace. Take a look and organize them, categorize them, and store them in the library!"
The Librarian spoke softly and instructed Liu Zimo.
"Yes, Senior, rest assured, I will carefully organize these books!"
Liu Zimo bowed and accepted the order, realizing suddenly.
Previously, when he was in the Broken Star Palace, he was only thinking about intercepting the Sect's treasury and hastily binding those cannon fodder cultivators, inadvertently neglecting the many books and inheritance Jade Slips in the Broken Star Palace.
Now, these books and Jade Slips had all been brought back by the Librarian.
Obviously, compared to the Heavenly and Mortal Treasures that disappeared from the Sect's treasury, as well as Huo Chao'an and others who escaped in advance, these books and inheritance Jade Slips were more important in the eyes of the Librarian!
Otherwise, the Librarian would not have been the first to bring these books and Jade Slips back to the Library as soon as he returned from the expedition.
Liu Zimo bent down and began to organize the chaotic new books and Jade Slips.
Meanwhile, the Librarian disappeared again and went to the Qingyun Great Hall to report to Ancestor Xingyu.
Seeing this, Liu Zimo quietly sent a strand of his spiritual sense to eavesdrop on everything that happened in the Qingyun Great Hall.
"More than 1,200 disciples of the Broken Star Palace who were inside the mountain gate have all been killed!"
The Librarian reported the details of the battle at the Broken Star Palace to Xingyu in a calm tone.
"However, their Head Teacher, Huo Chao'an, disappeared before we arrived."
"Thirteen of the most outstanding disciples of the Broken Star Palace also disappeared along with Huo Chao'an."
"Unless something unexpected happens, it should be a contingency plan that Huo Primordial Yang had prepared in advance."
"I have sent people to search for them everywhere, but Huo Chao'an is a Nascent Soul Eighth Realm cultivator, so he shouldn't be so easily found."
Xingyu nodded slightly and said softly,
"Just a few fish that slipped through the net, even if they are Nascent Soul Eighth Realm cultivators, they are not worth worrying about and cannot stir up any storms!"
"In any case, as long as the Broken Star Palace is destroyed, the purpose of our battle has already been accomplished!"
The purpose of annihilating the Broken Star Palace this time was to deter all sides and restore the reputation of the Qingyun Immortal Gate.
Now that the goal had been achieved, even if a few small fish and shrimps escaped, it was not worth worrying about.
"By the way, have you found the [Primordial Yang Immortal Art] and the [Somersault Cloud Technique] from the Broken Star Palace?"
Xingyu specifically asked the Librarian about this.
Although the Qingyun Immortal Gate did not lack cultivation techniques, they would not mind having more techniques like the [Primordial Yang Immortal Art], which was an Apex Level technique, and the [Somersault Cloud Technique], which was a Supreme Grade secret technique.
The Librarian shook his head slightly with regret.
"They were not found. At the first opportunity when we broke through the mountain guarding formation of the Broken Star Palace, I went to the transfer power pavilion of the Broken Star Palace."
"Unfortunately, apart from some books and some inheritance Jade Slips, the most crucial core inheritance of the Broken Star Palace was all gone!"
"In fact, not only the inheritance techniques of the Broken Star Palace, even their Sect's treasury had been emptied in advance."
"It seems that from the very beginning, Huo Primordial Yang knew that they would not succeed this time, so he prepared so many contingencies in advance!"
After saying this, Xingyu also couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly.
It seems that the Broken Star Palace was probably forced to participate this time, and the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate is also using them as cannon fodder!
However, the world is so cruel. Since certain things have been done, someone must come forward to take the blame and bear the consequences.
If Huo Primordial Yang wants to blame someone, he should blame the Broken Star Palace for being too weak!
"But the cultivation techniques and treasures in the treasure trove, they can take them away. However, they are powerless when it comes to the two Supreme Grade spiritual mines under the jurisdiction of the Broken Star Palace, as well as other industries. Now, they all belong to our Qingyun Immortal Gate!"
The guardian whispered,
"Before I came back, I had already instructed the disciples who accompanied me to take over the mining veins. Later, Grandmaster Yuzhu, don't forget to send someone to take over again!"
Xing Yuzhu's eyes brightened.
Having two Supreme Grade mines is quite good!
Each mine can produce over a hundred thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones every year.
With these two Supreme Grade mines, it means that Qingyun Immortal Gate will have an additional income of over two hundred thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones every year.
"Well, with these two Supreme Grade spiritual mines, it is enough to make up for the losses in this Sect battle for Qingyun Immortal Gate!"
Xing Yuzhu nodded slightly, and a hint of relief appeared on her face.
"This time, we really owe it to you, Zongyang nephew. If it weren't for you leading the Sect, our Qingyun Immortal Gate would have really lost its reputation!"
The guardian shook his head slightly, not daring to take credit, and humbly said,
"Grandmaster Yuzhu, you overestimate me. Even if the disciples didn't take action, I believe Grandmaster Yuzhu would have a way to resolve this crisis."
"It's different."
Xing Yuzhu did not deny the guardian's words and said calmly,
"Although the Sect still has some hidden cards, each time they are used, the consumption is enormous and the cost is high. If we can avoid using them, we should."
Liu Zimo's heart trembled when he heard this.
Sure enough, his previous speculation was not wrong.
As an ancient Immortal Gate that has existed for tens of thousands of years, Qingyun Immortal Gate has a deep heritage and many hidden cards. How could it only have a guardian like the Nascent Soul peak?
Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind and listen to Yao Lingling's nonsense, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died in the end.
"The Head Teacher is dead, and the Sect cannot be without a leader."
At this moment, Xing Yuzhu spoke again,
"Zongyang nephew, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
The guardian decisively shook his head.
"Grandmaster Yuzhu, I am just a guardian of the Sect. I have never interfered in the internal affairs of the Sect."
"As for the appointment of the new Head Teacher, Grandmaster Yuzhu can decide on your own. I will take my leave!"
After speaking, without waiting for Xing Yuzhu to say anything else, the guardian directly flashed and teleported away.
Swish!
Feeling that the guardian had returned to the library, Liu Zimo also instantly withdrew his spiritual sense.
He carefully organized the books and jade slips in front of him, categorizing them and placing them on different floors and bookshelves.
The guardian's divine sense swept over and found nothing suspicious, so he returned to his secret chamber, closed his eyes, and sorted out the gains from today's battle.
On ordinary days, he rarely had the opportunity to fight against powerhouses like Gong Xingyue and Huo Primordial Yang at the Nascent Soul peak.
Today's battle was extremely beneficial to the guardian, and it gave birth to many new inspirations and ideas in his mind.
Now that he had some free time, he could properly sort out and comprehend those inspirations and ideas!
[Your good brother Jing Zongyang had a fortuitous encounter, and his inspiration skyrocketed. He comprehended the "Water Cloud Divine Technique" to its limit!
Triggered the "Stealing Heaven" talent attribute, sharing half of the comprehension of the Immortal Dao Cultivation Technique. Water Cloud Divine Technique +500, Water Cloud Dao Rhyme +1, Spiritual Sense +50.]
[Your good brother Jing Zongyang had a fortuitous encounter, and his inspiration skyrocketed... He comprehended the "Golden Cicada Nine Cycles" to its limit. Golden Cicada Nine Cycles +500, Golden Cicada Dao Rhyme +1, Spiritual Sense +50.]
[...]
After a while.
Liu Zimo, who was organizing the books, suddenly heard a prompt about the guardian.
Liu Zimo's figure paused, unable to help but look up at the empty space above his head.
Just a few moments ago, he was complaining about the difficulty of comprehending the Heavenly Dao rhyme, even though he was the strongest guardian in terms of cultivation base and had not gained any understanding for over a year.
As a result, the reversal came so quickly.
In just a few moments, the guardian began to have a burst of understanding and continuously comprehended various Heavenly Dao rhymes.
Great!
In just a short while, Liu Zimo gained dozens of different Heavenly Dao rhymes.
Unfortunately, the guardian's enlightenment came quickly and went quickly.
It only lasted for a little over ten minutes before completely stopping.
Liu Zimo carefully calculated and found that this time he had gained fifty strands of Water Cloud Dao Rhyme, sixty-three strands of Golden Cicada Dao Rhyme, and sixty-six strands of Turtle Breath Dao Rhyme from the guardian.
The harvest was considerable.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a single Heavenly Dao rhyme, and the quantity of each kind was less than a hundred.
There was still a long way to go to accumulate nine hundred and ninety-nine strands.
After all, even a peak Nascent Soul like the guardian didn't have the opportunity to comprehend like this every day.
An hour later.
Liu Zimo had already finished organizing all the books and jade slips.
Seeing that the guardian was still in closed-door training in the secret room, Liu Zimo randomly picked up a new book and sat alone in the third-floor book pavilion to read.
Because it was the beginning of a major battle, there were many casualties within the sect, and chaos reigned.
Everyone in the sect, even the menial disciples, appeared extremely flustered and busy.
Therefore, no one had the mood to come to the library to borrow books and comprehend cultivation techniques.
Liu Zimo was also happy to have some free time. He continued reading until evening, clocked out on time, and obediently returned to the first-floor quiet room to rest.
This was because the guardian was worried that the head teacher would find trouble with him and specifically instructed him to rest overnight in the library for the next few days.
Although Ten Thousand Year had died and the sect's crisis had passed, since the guardian didn't ask him to leave, Liu Zimo, as an ordinary menial disciple, didn't want to overstep his bounds and take the initiative to mention it.
A night passed without any words.
The next day, just as the sky was brightening, Liu Zimo got up early, cleaned up the quiet room, and went to work.
The following days were the same every day.
The guardian remained in closed-door training, and within the sect, everyone was busy with the head teacher's and many disciples' funerals, as well as the selection of the new head teacher sect leader, causing a lot of commotion and unrest.
The library remained as quiet and empty as ever.
It wasn't until the seventh day after the sect's major battle that everything settled down, and Liu Zimo encountered the first sect disciple he had seen in the library in the past few days.
"Liu Dage, it's so good to see that you're okay!"
As soon as she entered, Liu Yun appeared in front of Liu Zimo, exclaiming with joy.
"I knew that Liu Dage has been staying in the library, protected by Senior Guardian. You must be fine!"
"Liu Dage, do you know?"
"My two senior brothers and one senior sister all perished in this sect battle!"
"These past few days, I've been busy with their funerals, as well as the funerals of many elder disciples, following behind my master!"
"It's so tragic!"
"Many fellow disciples didn't even have bodies, so we could only erect a tombstone..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the little girl's eyes.
This was her first experience of such a cruel sect battle and the first time she had seen so many cultivator corpses.
Liu Zimo gently patted the little girl's shoulder, silently comforting her.
As a young girl in her teens, this kind of experience was indeed a bit too stimulating for her.
However, on second thought.
Compared to Little Feihong and Xiaoxiao, who were wielding knives and fighting in the Demonic Beasts group at the age of four or five, what Liu Yun is experiencing now seems insignificant.
Since she has joined the Immortal Gate and become an Immortal Dao cultivator, she will inevitably experience these things sooner or later.
In Liu Zimo's opinion, it is better to experience it early than late!
It's just that the current conditions do not allow it, and Liu Yun is not his disciple.
Otherwise, Liu Zimo would have thrown Liu Yun into the most dangerous place, just like he taught Feihong and Xiaoxiao back then, letting her truly experience fear.
"Alright, everything is over!"
After letting Liu Yun cry and vent for a while, Liu Zimo spoke softly to persuade her:
"The reason you feel panicked and scared is simply because your own strength is insufficient!"
"Think about it, if you had the cultivation base strength of Senior Shoushuren, would your senior brothers and sisters, as well as the elder disciples, still die under your protection?"
"So, Liu Yun, instead of crying and being cowardly here, it's better to work hard, cultivate diligently, and constantly improve your own cultivation base strength!"
"Only in this way, when you encounter similar dangers next time, you won't be at a loss, and you won't be powerless like this time, watching your fellow disciples die..."
After drinking a few sips of chicken soup, Liu Yun's crying gradually subsided.
In her tearful eyes, a resolute and decisive light appeared.
"Mm!"
The little girl nodded vigorously and said:
"Brother Liu is right! As long as my strength is strong enough, strong enough to kill the enemy with one blow, my senior brothers and sisters will not die again!"
"I will work hard in my cultivation from now on, striving to catch up with Senior Shoushuren as soon as possible!"
That's right!
Liu Zimo nodded with satisfaction.
Having such good cultivation talent and not thinking about working hard day and night to cultivate would be a huge waste, wouldn't it?
Brother is also counting on you to contribute more cultivation opportunities in the future. Don't slack off!
Quietly releasing his spiritual sense, Liu Zimo discovered that Shoushuren was still in closed-door training.
Liu Zimo had a thought and took out a storage ring from the Eastern Pearl and handed it to Liu Yun. He lowered his voice and said to her:
"These are some cultivation resources that Senior Shoushuren asked me to pass on to you before his closed-door training."
"You should take them back and cultivate well. Don't let Senior Shoushuren's kindness go to waste!"
Liu Yun was stunned and instantly moved.
She didn't expect that Senior Shoushuren would give her cultivation resources again. It was even better than her master's treatment to her.
She reached out and took the storage ring, glanced at the massive amount of heavenly and mortal treasures stored inside, and became even more excited.
Carefully putting the storage ring away, Liu Yun spoke to Liu Zimo:
"Brother Liu, when Senior Shoushuren comes out of seclusion, you must thank him for me and tell him that I will not let him down!"
"Don't worry, I will convey your words faithfully."
Liu Zimo nodded happily, then reminded her:
"However, you must remember that Senior Shoushuren doesn't want others to know about this. You must not mention it to anyone, not even your master."
"Also, Senior Shoushuren is always cold on the surface but warm-hearted. He doesn't expect any gratitude or repayment."
"He doesn't like it when someone mentions gratitude or virtue in front of him. In the future, even if you are in front of Senior Shoushuren, it's best not to bring up this matter deliberately."
"Remember, true gratitude is not in words, but in the heart."
"Mm!" Liu Yun nodded vigorously again. "I will remember!"
True gratitude is in the heart, not in words!
Brother Liu's words make so much sense. He truly deserves the title of someone who has read tens of thousands of books, as his words are profound!
And Senior Shoushuren is truly a person of high integrity and virtue!
Gratitude!
