Chapter 354: Great Library Upgrade

As these beams of light retreated.

Cultivators in various Small Worlds who were still hesitating until the very last moment naturally began to regret their actions bitterly.

There were also cultivators who were just one step away, watching the beams of light disappear before their eyes, kneeling on the ground in despair and crying out: "No!"

Su Ping could feel the despair and pleading of these people through his Primordial Spirit.

It was just that, in the end, he was not yet strong enough.

This time, snatching food from the tiger's mouth was only barely achieved by borrowing the influence of Tian Rulai.

If he were to continue intervening like this, he feared the children of the Evil Gods would suspect he wanted to keep the spoils for himself.

If that really happened, it would be quite unfavorable.

Do not think that Su Ping is no longer intimidated even when facing the true bodies of the children of the Evil Gods.

There are also vast differences between the children of the Evil Gods.

Among the children of the Evil Gods besieging this Small Thousand World, there were also those with higher rankings hiding in the shadows, manipulating avatars to dance amidst the chaos of demons.

If they truly fought without regard for the big picture, it would only result in mutual destruction.

At the same time, by taking in so many survivors from the Small Worlds this time.

Su Ping also obtained a massive amount of cultivation heritage in one go.

Although most of the heritage could only be cultivated up to the Golden Core stage.

They still contained, more or less, flashes of brilliance regarding cultivation.

After reading and comprehending them, besides enhancing his own cultivation experience.

They could also be recognized by the Great Library of the Pot Heaven.

And after receiving this massive batch of heritage.

Added to the previously obtained accumulation of heritage knowledge.

The ancient Great Library developed an upgrade requirement, and as Su Ping satisfied its upgrade requirement: 10,000 Fishing Coins.

The quality of the ancient Great Library was sublimated from Rare to Precious.

Its name also changed from Ancient to Famous Great Library.

A fourth floor was added to the original three-story library.

And this fourth floor was located within a special Other-dimensional Space.

Su Ping entered it with curiosity.

Upon appearing, he discovered a large round table and twelve wooden chairs before him.

Surrounding the large round table was a maze composed of massive, hundred-meter-tall wooden bookshelves.

Su Ping looked in a random direction, only to find that the passage formed by the bookshelves seemed almost endless.

And when he used his Divine Sense, he immediately felt that the space of this fourth floor of the library would suppress it.

Even for the current Su Ping, operating at full strength could not allow his Divine Sense to extend more than a hundred meters outside his body.

However, this was enough for Su Ping to see the condition of those tall bookshelves.

The hundred-meter-tall bookshelves were naturally filled with books.

It was just that the books varied in size.

Some were no larger than an adult's palm, while others were so thick that a single book filled an entire bookshelf completely.

Su Ping scanned them, discovering that these books were not generated out of thin air.

According to the automatically fed-back information, these books all came from the Great Library's own collection.

Su Ping took out a book.

The book had almost no weight and could be opened automatically by consciousness control.

After opening it, Su Ping saw this scroll, which recorded a certain sect's Golden Core Secret Technique, begin to flip rapidly.

Swish, swish, swish!

Under the sound of the pages turning, Su Ping felt a certain profound power acting within his mind.

It was a complex Golden Immortal Text.

The moment it condensed into shape.

It made Su Ping realize that this Immortal Text contained the entire content of that Secret Technique.

At the same time, learning this Secret Technique by comprehending the Immortal Text in his mind was much faster and far more profound than relying on reading heritage records.

It could also greatly avoid the risk of suffering from Qi deviation during the cultivation process.

However, in Su Ping's view, this was not the most critical part.

The most critical part was that after spending 100 Fishing Coins in this Great Library, one could obtain a recommendation opportunity.

It allowed the Great Library to select the most suitable books for the other party to read based on their own accumulation.

For a Cultivator, this meant selecting the most suitable heritage cultivation method for them.

At the same time, as the owner of the Great Library, Su Ping also learned that the next stage of the Great Library, in addition to these functions, would also open a Lending Room.

There, Su Ping could obtain books from outside the Great Library by paying a certain price from the Knowledge Book.

For example, special Divine Ability Secret Techniques, or comprehensive collections of higher-level artifact refining, alchemy, Array, and Talisman skills.

Or even mysterious books containing special knowledge, such as the Abyss Book which recorded the history of the Abyss Seven Monarchs, or the Scarlet Creation Book which recorded the fall of the Ancients and the process of their transformation into several Small Thousand Worlds, and so on.

All of them were dangerous items that one could tell were prone to trouble just by looking at their names and summaries, and opening their pages could potentially lead to the arrival of the apocalypse.

However, besides these dangerous items, if other knowledge could be borrowed... Su Ping was still very interested.

He also silently set a goal for himself to continue collecting knowledge and adding bricks and tiles to the Great Library.

So as to realize the goal of having the Lending Room built sooner.

Before that, this new space in the Great Library naturally had to be put to good use.

And so.

The few people who were bitterly cultivating in the Pot Heaven suddenly received a reminder in their minds.

Then, it took no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

In the Other-dimensional Space on the fourth floor of the Great Library.

Under the illumination of a faint, rather gentle white light, individual figures appeared on both sides of a large round table.

Aside from Zhou Xuan, Zhang Qiuzhen, Zhang Long, He Mao Chun Yi Lang, Shanawati, and Teresa—the few natives of Water Blue Star who possessed a Spirit Body and happened to be in the Pot Heaven these past few days.

There were also several young Cultivators from Small Worlds with talent whom Su Ping had taken a fancy to and forcibly accepted as disciples.

Amber, the ponytail youth from the Amber World, was among them.

He had just been put through all sorts of training by the Demon Emperor White Ape, experiencing one hundred and eight postures of being struck by a staff.

He was currently wondering if he had been deceived.

As a result, the voice of that mysterious Great Ability emerged in his mind.

Then, he was grabbed by that White Ape, which already made him tremble instinctively, and thrown into a lake to be thoroughly washed.

After being fed a few Pills to recover his physical strength and injuries.

With the blink of an eye, he was teleported into this bizarre space.

Yes, bizarre!

This fourth-floor space of the Great Library.

In the eyes of these Small World genius practitioners, it was a bizarre space filled with incomprehensible auras and anomalies.

The bookshelves stretching out of sight, and the various spaces that were difficult to touch with Divine Sense.

And those books on the shelves, every single one exuding an unsettling aura.

This place reminded them of those ancient, bizarre ruins.

Furthermore, after a brief exchange of Divine Sense, Amber and the other young geniuses looked toward the equally nervous natives of Water Blue Star.

They immediately and keenly sensed that those little Cultivators across the round table must have come from the same place!

Some guessed that it must be a world protected by that mysterious Great Ability.

That was why so many chosen people had come here.

It was just that these people all had low cultivation and mediocre foundations.

Could it be that they were chosen because they, like them, possessed special Spirit Bodies?

A flash of Golden Light crossed Amber's eyes; he wanted to probe but worried it would be impolite.

After all, he was a newcomer; would he suffer for offending that person?

While Amber and the others hesitated.

On the side of Shanawati and the others, they also saw the strength of these strange young Cultivators and the unique temperament and style of clothing they wore.

They all secretly guessed that these must be young Cultivators from other worlds.

This made Zhou Xuan and the others feel a little excited.

If they met now, would it count as a historic meeting between the Human Civilization of their world and the human civilization of another world?

They wondered if they could use a mobile phone or camera to record this scene before them?

Just as both sides had discerned many things about each other and were letting their imaginations run wild.

Ding-dong!

A crisp bell sound rang out.

Then, a beautiful snake demon with a human body and a snake tail walked out from the bookshelves.

This was a Golden Core snake demon who, after obtaining a Demon Core, had gradually improved her cultivation through hard work and learned the art of transformation to manifest a half-human body.

Because her intelligence stood out from her companions like a crane in a flock of chickens.

She had been summoned by Su Ping to serve as the supervisor of the Spirit Beasts.

This time, she had been arranged to manage these chosen ones.

Although the snake demon's cultivation was insufficient compared to those Small World geniuses.

Yet in this place, no one dared to act presumptuously; even if they saw through the other's cultivation, they would suspect it was merely a disguise.

After the snake demon approached the round table and reached the head of it, she smiled and said softly:

"You are all honored guests recommended to come here by the Master, or by the Master's friends."

"I ask that you all cherish this opportunity well."

"After all, the qualification to enter the fourth floor of the Great Library is something that most practitioners could not trade for even with a lifetime of effort!"

The snake demon was not lying; without Fishing Coins, those Great Abilities could not obtain the recommendation qualification for the fourth floor.

And hearing it in the ears of the others.

They all noted the keywords "the Master" and "the Master's friends."

And in their hearts, they had the thought that it was just as they had expected.

On the side of Shanawati and the others from Water Blue Star, they naturally thought: they belonged to different transcendent forces.

Yet now they had arrived at this place at the same time.

Clearly, the Great Abilities of each family had entrusted the master of this mysterious place.

As for the Small World geniuses, while thinking of that mysterious Master, they began to wonder what kind of power one must possess to be a friend of that Master?

Such a power did not look like it originated from a Small World in any way.

Could it be that they had truly encountered a cultivation power from the Great World this time?

The way they looked at the natives of Water Blue Star also changed slightly.

Guessing that they might have come from the Great World, they all began to feel envious.

However, they were all simultaneously grateful to the Lord, the Immortal Elder, and the Immortal Master who had allowed them to come to this place.

They believed deeply in what the snake demon had said about the preciousness of the qualifications!

The snake demon licked her red lips, took out the light orbs representing the recommendation qualifications for the Great Library, and gently waved her hand to distribute them.

Following the instructions, they opened their minds and let the light orbs sink into the centers of their brows.

The people present all felt their bodies tremble slightly, and then surprise flashed across their eyes.

After the light orb entered her body, Shanawati felt as if she saw a large, thick book emitting white light slowly opening before her.

As the pages turned, Shanawati could feel that she seemed to understand her own body better.

Where there were flaws, where she could continue to improve, and how she should constantly strengthen her talent.

She suddenly had an epiphany about all of it.

Following that, the sound of page-turning stopped.

A golden, glowing Immortal script appeared in Shanawati's mind.

That was the inheritance cultivation method most suitable for her, selected by the Great Library based on Shanawati's constitution.

The Great Library's selection also took into account the requirements of the inheritance itself.

Therefore, there was no need to worry about Shanawati gaining the recognition of the inheritance knowledge.

Shanawati felt the book slowly disappear before her eyes; after a moment of trance, she felt the Immortal script in her mind and confirmed that it had not been a hallucination.

Afterwards, she slightly circulated the cultivation method she had just learned.

Shanawati discovered that this was much better than the breathing technique given by that terrifying Ghost God.

Furthermore, as the cultivation method circulated, Shanawati felt her Spirit Body also seemed to be slowly growing stronger.

This... was something Shanawati had never felt before!

Just like Shanawati, the others also couldn't help but circulate the inheritance cultivation method recommended by the Great Library after a moment of trance.

And all of them gained something, at least two or three times better than their previous cultivation methods.

Moreover, except for two people whose Spirit Bodies could not be strengthened during cultivation because the Great Library truly did not have an inheritance most suitable for them,

everyone else was incredibly excited as they felt their own essence strengthening.

Amber also had new realizations about that mysterious Lord.

He felt more awe and gratitude toward him.

In his mind, such a recommendation qualification must be extremely precious.

He feared that the debt of gratitude he owed the other party for his life would never be repaid in this lifetime!

After obtaining the cultivation method most suitable for himself,

they stood up one after another to thank the owner of the Great Library.

Then they were teleported back to their original places to continue their respective bitter cultivation.

Five Elements World.

Currently the only Small World in the Small Thousand World that still retained its complete shape.

After Su Ping left the Pot Heaven,

he used his Primordial Spirit to look at the great war in the outside world.

In the end, he could not suppress the urge to collect new knowledge.

Once again, he used a Teleportation Talisman to sneak into the Five Elements World to continue saving the suffering, saving the world, and saving knowledge.

This cultivation knowledge, accumulated and created by who knows how many generations of predecessors.

If it were to never see the light of day again following this great catastrophe,

that would truly be a great pity!

…………

"Not good!"

"Those evil cultivators actually dare to sneak attack our clan's Fire Spirit Medicine Pool!"

"Fellow Daoists, this venerable one must return to defend!"

High in the sky of the Five Elements World, the Fire Family Ancestor, who had previously mocked the Mu Family, now began to understand the Mu Family Ancestor and, regardless of anything else, prepared to return.

The other ancestors did not want to let the other party leave.

However, they all feared the other party's divine abilities and Secret Techniques, and with no one stepping forward,

they could only watch helplessly as the other party turned into a red light and fled.

With one incident after another, and major problems arising,

these ancestors all began to hesitate about continuing to mend the sky.

One day ago, they had exhausted their trump cards to barely block the invasion of the children of the Evil Gods.

And they had held on until the Sect Master, the Abbot of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and other Great Abilities successfully activated the great array covering the entire land.

However, this great array, which held their Hope,

only allowed them a moment of respite for half a day before a super-large Evil Spirit from who knows where suddenly crashed into a new crack!

This also caused flaws to appear in the great array, requiring them to act again to block the Evil Spirit.

Although the Sect Master and the Abbots all demanded that they must block it even if they couldn't!

But... this endless resistance,

how could it be something one could just resist whenever they wanted?

Thus, not long after the Fire Family Ancestor left,

the other ancestors found reliable or unreliable excuses to withdraw from the battlefield.

Only those with a bit of a sense of responsibility left behind their Avatars and divine weapons and treasures.

So as to prevent this region from collapsing under the erosion of Evil Qi before it has even been truly attacked...
