Chapter 148: The Secret of the Western Lands Long Clan

Long Xuan restrained his emotions and sighed, "I am truly ashamed. To tell you the truth, I only have a 50% confidence in replacing the missing materials of the Dragon Blood Battle Gu, and I need a massive amount of materials when experimenting with the Gu formula. You must be mentally prepared."

"And I don't like the feeling of being monitored. When I am researching the Gu formula, no one can supervise me. If you trust me, then use me. If you don't trust me, then change to someone else!"

Hearing this, Long Qian's eyes lit up. He actually had a 50% confidence. This success rate was simply too high, far exceeding his psychological expectations.

With such a high success rate, it was even more imperative to do it.

"A 50% success rate is already very high. As for the problem that you don't like being monitored, don't worry. If you use someone, don't doubt them; if you doubt them, don't use them. I still trust your character. I believe you will 100% not commit any corruption!"

Long Qian was overjoyed and agreed to Long Xuan's request without hesitation.

Seeing that Long Qian actually trusted him so much, Long Xuan felt a bit ashamed. He had trusted the wrong person. He wasn't just greedy; he was prepared to be completely greedy. He would eat as many materials as were brought in.

Yet, after he embezzled all the research funds, he could really research the thing and give the clan a satisfactory answer. Tell me, isn't that awesome?

"This matter is settled. You should rest and prepare for battle first. After the arena tournament is over, it won't be too late to research the Dragon Blood Battle Gu formula. The clan also needs a certain amount of time to collect the materials on the Dragon Blood Battle Gu formula that haven't gone extinct yet," Long Qian stood up and said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'm sure to win this arena tournament. Walk slowly!" Long Xuan also stood up to see him off.

Only after watching Long Qian walk far away did he close the door and return to the room, revealing an excited smile.

It seems that coming to the Western Lands this time was the right choice. He had just arrived here and already had such a big harvest.

For him, the birth of the Ten-Armed Blade Gu had already begun to count down. He only needed to wait patiently for a period of time, and he didn't need to worry about the materials at all.

He returned to the room, sat back in his original position, skillfully took out paper and pen, and the tip of the pen paused in the air.

The refining process of the Blade Gu was very special. It belonged to a universal Gu formula, and you could write any materials you wanted on the Gu formula.

So he didn't need to create a Gu formula this time, which saved a lot of trouble.

He felt that the Gu formula didn't even need to be written at all. Others needed to fill in carefully selected materials on the Blade Gu formula, but he didn't need to at all, because his goal was all insect species, all of them.

Since he was prepared to sweep up all types of spirit insects, what kind of Gu formula was there to write? Just catching them was enough. Writing a Gu formula was completely superfluous.

However, creating the "Ten Extremes Blade Technique" still required him to put in more effort.

The "Ten Extremes Blade Technique" was definitely not so easy to create, and he had to create it. He didn't know how long it would take him to create such a blade technique. He suddenly felt a bit of liver pain.

After he wrote the outline he had thought of on the white paper, the pen suddenly paused, stopping in mid-air. He again showed a dazed look, his face full of confusion.

As expected, he got stuck again as soon as he started writing.

How would he know what method to use to break all the sword techniques in the world?

And how would he know what to do to break all the blade techniques in the world?

This was too difficult. He couldn't think of it at all!

Ghost knows how to break everything in the world.

You ask me, who do I ask? Ask the village chief!

Long Xuan had a complete headache. You have to know that he was still a blade technique novice until now and knew nothing about blade techniques. What kind of blade technique was he going to create?

Especially since it was a top-tier blade technique that was the most awesome in concept, it was even less likely to be created by a novice like him.

Before he had even learned to crawl, he planned to learn to walk first. He had taken too big a step and pulled his egg. So he was completely stunned there, his brain a mess, and he couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time.

If he, who had never touched a blade, could create a blade technique, then there would really be a ghost.

Blade techniques were completely different things from cultivation methods, spirit techniques, and body techniques. Blade techniques were skills that required insight and constant sparring with others to increase experience. How could you just guess them by writing words?

Insight was something that couldn't be described in words. Many blade techniques also required drawing pictures, and drawing pictures was even harder to guess.

What kind of blade technique was he going to create? He had been careless. Long Xuan suddenly discovered that the things he envisioned were too terrifying and had far exceeded his own abilities. This thing was no longer something he could control.

Long Xuan took a deep breath. In the end, he decided to use the old method: if he got stuck, he would go around to borrow ideas. In the past, when he got stuck, he found inspiration from Long Lao. This time, Long Lao wasn't there, so he could only think of other ways.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. You say that the Western Lands Long Clan didn't arrange for him to live anywhere else, but they just arranged for him to live near the Library Tower. Wasn't this inviting a thief into the house? It was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.

With such good intentions, how could he decline? If he didn't go into the Library Tower to see what was inside, he would have wasted living in such a good location.

Long Xuan smiled, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to use the Original Realm to copy everything in the Library Tower.

After a while, Long Xuan's consciousness appeared in a place exactly the same as the Library Tower. Looking at the countless bookshelves around him, his smile became even brighter.

There really were so many blade techniques and sword techniques. Long Xuan's eyes were shining as he looked at everything around him.

The Long Clan had the Evil Dragon True Eye and liked to break things with one sword, so they were fond of collecting sword techniques and were a clan that used swords.

The Long Clan had Blade Gu and needed to use blade techniques to enhance the strength of the Blade Gu, so they were also fond of collecting blade techniques and were a clan that used blades.

The Long Clan was a master of both blades and swords. In terms of the collection of blade and sword techniques, few forces could compare to the Long Clan.

After all, they were the main family. The collection of blade and sword techniques of the Far West Long Clan was far inferior to that of the Western Lands Long Clan.

So Long Xuan felt that he had entered a huge treasure house. There was endless knowledge here for him to take, and it was all free. He could learn whatever he wanted.

Currently, he was on the first floor of the Library Tower. Everything on the first floor was blade techniques and sword techniques. There were so many blade and sword techniques that they were as vast as the sea, and he didn't know how many bookshelves they filled.

Having too many blade and sword techniques wasn't a good thing, because he would be dazzled. He really didn't know which one to learn and where to start looking. He was very conflicted. Looking at the countless sea of books, it would also make people shrink back and not have the intention to learn all the books.

After seeing so many books, Long Xuan's laziness suddenly flared up after his pleasant surprise, making him not have the intention to learn all the books here.

However, fortunately, he has clones. He doesn't want to learn, but his clones love to learn, right? Just let the clones learn, and he can then "freeload" off the clones' learning results; it's the same thing.

So Long Xuan started thinking about being lazy again, preparing to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, handing over all the learning tasks to the clones.

Suddenly, his expression froze. He walked toward a wall and knocked on it gently. Sure enough, a 'dong dong' sound came from inside. The back was clearly empty. This was actually a hidden secret door. He didn't know what was hidden behind it.

He had already copied the entire Library Tower and could open the God's perspective. Naturally, it was impossible for any secret room here to escape his eyes.

He was shocked. There was actually a secret door here. Where did this secret door lead, and what treasures were hidden inside?

After being shocked, Long Xuan became expectant. Things that could be placed in a secret room must be very important things. Otherwise, why hide them so tightly?

Any secret room must hide extraordinary things. This was a law.

Long Xuan showed a look of pleasant surprise and prepared to go in and find out.

Here, he didn't need to be careful at all. He used the Five Elements Jade to directly destroy the door and found that behind it was a spiral staircase leading downward.

Long Xuan was stunned. Could it be that this Library Tower still had a negative first floor?

Since the staircase was designed so secretly, the things stored on the negative first floor must not be simple.

Long Xuan showed a look of curiosity. Too lazy to guess what it was, he couldn't wait to jump down with a lamp.

Not long after, his eyes lit up, and he found that he had come to an area full of bookshelves again.

There were bookshelves everywhere and a sea of books everywhere. There were actually more books than on the first floor.

It's just that the books here were very special because they were too thick, looking like dictionaries, countless dictionaries.

Long Xuan showed a slight look of disappointment. He didn't expect that what was stored underground was still books, and they were books piled up like mountains. However, it made sense. Library Tower, Library Tower. If the Library Tower didn't store books, what else could it store?

However, things were valued for their rarity. With so many books here, it was impossible for them all to be peerless secret manuals. Presumably, their value was no different from the books upstairs.

This was seriously inconsistent with his expectations. He thought that some heaven-defying heavy treasure was placed below, but it was just this?

Long Xuan disappointedly picked up a book from the nearest bookshelf at random, flipped through a few pages, and scanned it a few times.

But after this look, his eyes soon widened, revealing an excited look, and he couldn't stop at all.

The listless look from just a moment ago suddenly became energetic. He didn't know what the content of the book was that could make him so pleasantly surprised.

He soon put the book down, ran quickly toward the other bookshelves, pulled out a book at random, flipped through a few pages, put it down again, and went to flip through another book.

After flipping through I don't know how many books in a row, his breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes were shining, and he was completely excited.

Good stuff, absolutely good stuff. He took back his previous thought. The books placed on this negative first floor were absolutely heaven-defying treasures. This time he had found a treasure. He was going to get rich!

What kind of books were placed on this negative first floor? I'm afraid no one could have guessed.

In the extremely distant era, the complete version of the Evil Dragon True Eye could break all abilities in the world and defeat all enemies in the world.

Therefore, those Long Clan ancestors knew how to break any ability.

And those ancestors were bored, so they actually wrote down all the methods to break various abilities in books. Gradually, I don't know how many books were written. With the accumulation of time, they gradually formed one thick dictionary after another.

They were also classified. Methods specifically for breaking various blade techniques were compiled into dictionaries, divided into many volumes from (1) to (10). In the table of contents, almost all the names of blade techniques in the world could be found.

Methods specifically for breaking various palm techniques were compiled into dictionaries, divided into many volumes from (1) to (10). In the table of contents, almost all the names of palm techniques in the world could be found.

Including various spirit techniques, various cultivation methods, various body techniques, various illusion techniques, and various Gu worms, how to break these things were all written on paper by them, and then bound into volumes and permanently collected.

It could be said that this place gathered methods to break any ability in the world. It was a complete collection of breaking ten thousand laws. The names of any peerless learning in the world could be found in the table of contents of the books here.

This was a huge treasure house, gathering the wisdom of countless Long Clan ancestors. It was the most precious wealth left by the Long Clan ancestors for their descendants. The knowledge wealth here was priceless.

At this moment, he finally knew why this place had to be hidden so tightly and not opened to the clansmen.

This was something that could invite disaster. You knew the breaking methods of the inheritance of any force. How terrifying a thing was this? How could those strongest super forces feel at ease? How could they tolerate your existence?

So this place could only be permanently sealed. The more people who knew, the more danger the clan would be in. The number of people who knew about this place in the Long Clan probably wouldn't exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

Long Xuan being able to accidentally find this place could be considered an arrangement of fate.

He had just had no clue about creating the "Ten Extremes Blade Technique," but he didn't expect to be thrown into this treasure house in the next moment.

In this treasure house, he could find methods to break any ability in the world, including how to break various spear techniques, how to break various hammer techniques, and even the various inheritances of niche weapons could be found here.

Then, was it difficult for him to summarize these breaking methods, integrate them, and create the "Ten Extremes Blade Technique" that could break everything? It really wasn't difficult. He already had inspiration at this moment.

It was nothing more than a very long time problem. He needed to read the books here for a long time.

However, it didn't matter. This place would be handed over to his clones.

He showed an excited look and immediately released all five clones.

"All of you, learn! All of you, learn fiercely!"

After the clones came out and saw the sea of books piled up like mountains in front of them, their heads suddenly ached.

All the clones were dumbfounded, having a feeling of dizziness.

My God, when would they have to learn until? This main body simply didn't act like a human.

"You too, learn! Learn to the death!"

Long Xuan pulled the consciousness of that mantis in and threw it into the area on the first floor where countless blade techniques were stored.

"From now on, you will self-study here and become self-taught!"

"I think highly of you!"

The Silver Moon Mantis found that it had suddenly appeared in a strange environment and showed a look of confusion.

But after seeing countless blade techniques here, it was suddenly excited and immediately ran to the nearest bookshelf, quickly pulled out a blade technique from the bookshelf, and flipped through it.

The Silver Moon Mantis was a creature famous for being diligent and studious, and it was extremely self-disciplined. All Silver Moon Mantises were cultivation maniacs and extremely eager to become stronger.

Especially this Silver Moon Mantis, which had been ostracized by the entire tribe since it was born, had an even heavier heart to become stronger. In cultivation, no Silver Moon Mantis was more diligent than it.

So appearing in this place full of blade techniques, it was full of joy, without any rejection of reading books, but instead full of love for reading books. It couldn't wait to run to read books.

It wanted to learn all the blade techniques here. It revealed an ambitious look.
