Chapter 355

The next day, early morning.

On Mount Qingliang, the traces left by that earth-shattering battle remained shocking to the eye.

The scorched earth, broken weapons, and the thick, lingering scent of blood and slaughter that had not yet fully dissipated.

Silently told of the tragedy and terror of yesterday's battle between gods and demons.

Inside Ning Chuan's small courtyard, however, it was peaceful and serene.

After last night's dual cultivation with Jiang Ni and the further consolidation of his own demonic power.

Ning Chuan felt his state was better than ever before.

That mysterious black Flood Dragon Pearl, which had already reached the Third Transformation Realm, rotated slowly within his dantian's sea of Qi.

Every rotation emitted waves of incomparably pure, surging demonic power filled with vitality.

Nourishing his perfect human form.

He thought of the Listen-to-the-Tide Pavilion in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, world-renowned and claimed to house eighty percent of the world's martial arts.

Inside were tens of thousands of martial arts classics that Xu Xiao had plundered from various sects when he trampled the Jianghu back then.

Although most of them were likely just second or third-rate cultivation methods.

But, for Ning Chuan, who possessed heaven-defying comprehension.

Any single classic could potentially become a cornerstone for him to draw inferences and grasp higher-level martial arts truths.

Little by little, sand gathers into a tower.

These classics were of immense help for him to perfect the 【Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method】 and to create more divine abilities and techniques suitable for a human form.

"Jiang Ni."

Ning Chuan called out softly with his magnetic voice.

"This servant is here."

Jiang Ni, who was in the courtyard somewhat shyly practicing the 【Mystic Maiden Phoenix Chant Art】 taught by Ning Chuan, heard Ning Chuan's call.

She immediately stopped her movements, came before Ning Chuan with a slightly red face, and bowed respectfully.

After last night's nourishment, her body, which had been slightly thin due to years of malnutrition, had become much fuller.

Her skin was also more crystalline and translucent, delicate enough to be broken by a blow, and her whole person exuded an indescribable, moving charm.

In those eyes that were originally filled with stubbornness and hatred, the gaze now directed at Ning Chuan also held a hint of undisguisable reliance and... admiration.

"Take this Lord to that Listen-to-the-Tide Pavilion for a visit," Ning Chuan said indifferently.

"Yes, Master," Jiang Ni replied obediently.

She knew that the Listen-to-the-Tide Pavilion was a forbidden area of the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, housing countless treasures and secrets.

But now, the entire Northern Liang was already in her Master's pocket.

This Listen-to-the-Tide Pavilion was naturally no exception.

Under Jiang Ni's guidance, Ning Chuan walked slowly to the nine-story high building standing at the peak of Mount Qingliang, filled with an aura of mystery and majesty.

Listen-to-the-Tide Pavilion.

Before the pavilion, Xu Xu Weixiong was already waiting there.

She looked at Ning Chuan with complex eyes, but still bowed respectfully:

"Greetings, Master."

"Master," Jiang Ni also called out softly.

Ning Chuan nodded slightly, said nothing more, and walked straight into this treasury that collected the world's martial arts.

Upon entering, a rich, unique scholarly scent, mixed from countless old papers and ink stains, rushed to his face.

He saw that the space inside the pavilion was extremely large, with rows of huge bookshelves several zhang high arranged neatly, almost extending to the end of his vision.

On the bookshelves, various thread-bound books, bamboo slips, jade records, and even animal skin scrolls were densely placed.

The quantity was so vast it was like a sea, breathtaking!

This was the martial arts foundation that the Northern Liang Prince Xu Xiao had spent decades of heart's blood plundering from the entire Jianghu!

A flash of satisfaction appeared in Ning Chuan's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward and walked into this ocean of knowledge.

His soul power, comparable to that of a god, was activated at full strength at this moment!

He did not flip through them book by book, but scanned them directly with his divine sense!

Row after row of bookshelves, book after book of classics, whether it was blade techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, or lightness skills, internal energy, hidden weapons, poison manuals...

All the content recorded on them was captured by his powerful soul power in just a few breaths, and then surged into his mind like a tide!

Then, through his heaven-defying comprehension, they were rapidly analyzed, summarized, absorbed, and fused!

Countless martial arts truths, countless cultivation methods, and countless ingenious ideas constantly collided, surged, and sublimated in his heart!

He felt that his understanding of the Martial Dao and his cognition of the power system of this world had deepened by another layer!

For him, this was an unprecedentedly huge harvest!

He prepared to conduct another deep-level retreat and meditation after fully digesting these classics.

Combining the surging energy that had already transformed into demonic power and his perfect human form.

To create some supreme martial arts that were truly suitable for his human form to execute and possessed infinite power!

Jiang Ni stood quietly to the side, watching Ning Chuan, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

On that pretty face, which originally still carried a bit of sorrow and hatred, a hint of gentleness and infatuation had appeared unknowingly.

She looked at Ning Chuan's incomparably handsome profile and those deep eyes that seemed to contain the mysteries of the entire universe.

Her heart could not help but flutter again.

Perhaps, being able to stay by the side of this god-like man forever and serve him was also a kind of... happiness?

……

At the same time.

Just as Ning Chuan was reading thousands of classics in the Listen-to-the-Tide Pavilion and thickening his own foundation.

The news of the world-shaking battle that occurred yesterday on Mount Qingliang, which was enough to overturn the entire world's landscape.

Also spread like it had grown wings, at a speed more rapid and exaggerated than any time before, crazily to every corner of the entire world!

The entire Liyang Dynasty was plunged into unprecedented shock and boiling excitement because of this news!

Restaurants and teahouses in every major city, and on every street corner, were discussing this matter!

"Heavens! Have you heard?! The Northern Liang Prince's Mansion... the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion has really been destroyed!"

"What?! This... how is this possible?! That is the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion! The Northern Liang Prince's Mansion that holds the three hundred thousand Snow Dragon Riders!"
