Chapter 2040: Temporary Master

The Book Demon nodded satisfactorily and said, "Your comprehension is pretty good! I'm only giving you a line of thought; the rest, you can study on your own slowly!"

Ye Liuyun hurriedly thanked the Book Demon.

Then, he began to keep trying continuously.

First, he reversed the process, merging space from high to low, then used Spatial Power to support the lower layer of space; this can achieve the same fusion effect.

The higher the spatial layer, the farther the distance he can shift in a single move.

If it's a fifth- or sixth-level spatial fusion, a single step can span tens of thousands of li.

After Ye Liuyun mastered this skill, he began to experiment with different Spatial Powers, even combining them with his own strength to practice attack techniques.

"Using this method, you don't need very strong Spatial Power; merely the third or fourth layer's Spatial Power can directly kill enemies near me."

Ye Liuyun marveled inwardly.

Moreover, because these attacks are hidden in different voids, once they exit, the space shows almost no fluctuation, making them highly concealed.

Even without attacking, if he suddenly withdraws the supporting force of the lower layer, a spatial compression forms instantly, and the lower layer is erased.

His current Spatial Power is at the sixth layer.

If the opponent has fifth-layer Spatial Power and is unprepared, they'll usually be successfully ambushed.

This move is very simple and effective against Martial Cultivators whose Spatial Power is weaker than his.

Ye Liuyun kept experimenting with applications of Spatial Power, entering a selfless state.

Finally, the Book Demon interrupted him and took him back to the tower.

"You can study these tricks on your own later; there's no need to finish them all here!"

The Book Demon told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also felt this was the greatest harvest he gained in this Secret Realm, his delight evident.

"How about it?

Do you want to learn more?"

The Book Demon asked Ye Liuyun with a smile.

Ye Liuyun knew he was about to set a condition.

But he had already decided in his mind that as long as he could accept, he would certainly agree to the Book Demon.

After all, this gain is worth more than anything else.

"Of course! Senior, feel free to state any condition.

As long as I can fulfill it, I will definitely agree!"

Ye Liuyun spoke frankly.

The Book Demon was very satisfied with Ye Liuyun's answer and said, "I see you have the potential to become strong; I want you to take me away from here, to find my original master."

"Huh?"

Ye Liuyun didn't understand.

With the Book Demon's abilities, it can easily leave the Divine Realm; why does it still need him to take it away?

The Book Demon explained, "This tower has a restriction on me.

Even if I leave, I can't go far, nor stay long.

My former master is too far away; to return to him, I need a stronger Martial Cultivator to bring me back.

This is the agreement between me and my master.

I must find a Martial Cultivator who can be cultivated into a strong one, so I can return to him.

Although you are still weak now, your will is firm and you're not too stupid; in the future you should have hope of reaching my master!"

"Then why choose me? Why didn't you pick someone else?"

Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.

The Book Demon didn't hide and told Ye Liuyun, "You're not the first Martial Cultivator I've set my eyes on.

You are the eighty‑first!

Unfortunately, the previous eighty Martial Cultivators all fell for various reasons before they could attain that strength! So I could only drift around with this tower.

For tens of thousands of years, I have been trying to find a Martial Cultivator with potential.

I need to recognize you as my master to leave this tower.

But this is only temporary.

If that day ever comes when you meet my original master, I will still return to his side.

During this period, I won't fight for you against enemies, but I will guide you to become stronger."

"Alright! I accept!"

Ye Liuyun agreed without hesitation.

Whether temporary or not, the Book Demon can make him grow strong quickly.

It's as if he now has a master always by his side; how could he refuse?

But he still asked, "What if I also die?"

"As long as you die, I will return to this tower.

Then I can only continue searching for Martial Cultivators with potential!"

The Book Demon sighed.

"I will do my best not to die!"

Ye Liuyun smiled.

The Book Demon smiled as well, acknowledging Ye Liuyun as master.

"From now on I'll settle in your Sea of Consciousness! I don't need any cultivation resources, you don't have to worry about me!"

He, however, was not courteous to Ye Liuyun and found a place for himself.

"How did you enter my Sea of Consciousness?"

Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.

The Book Demon laughed, "Didn't I just teach you Spatial Power?"

Some ferocious beasts can change size; why can't humans?

Why can't books?

Ye Liuyun was stunned.

He had always thought those ferocious beasts acted on instinct.

Now he realized that after they mastered Spatial Power, they conceived that method of application.

He immediately began to try it, expanding the space around his body; indeed he grew larger, and when he compressed the space around his body, he shrank along with it.

"It can be used like this?"

He returned to his original size and shouted with excitement.

The Book Demon helplessly shook his head, "Stop playing! Take all the books here. These are some top-tier techniques I collected from this world.

After I leave, this tower will also disappear."

"You're already so strong, yet you still want to study techniques?"

"Where is this tower going?"

Ye Liuyun asked casually.

"I'll look at the techniques here; it's to study how to teach you better! I'm not sure where the tower will go.

All I know is that whenever a new master unfortunately falls, the tower appears elsewhere, and then I will appear inside the tower as well."

The Book Demon replied.

Ye Liuyun immediately gathered all those techniques here.

The Book Demon looked around the tower, then shrank his body and rushed into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

"Eh?

You still have such a treasure?"

The Book Demon, upon seeing the Ten Thousand Gods Command, couldn't help but exclaim.

He has already recognized Ye Liuyun as his master, so the Ten Thousand Gods Command will not attack him.

"It came on its own; I don't even know what it is.

But it has saved my life many times!"

Ye Liuyun told the Book Demon.

After observing the Ten Thousand Gods Command, the Book Demon only told Ye Liuyun, "I don't know exactly how to use it.

But it must be a treasure forged by a strong one.

Just keep it for now!"

Ye Liuyun helplessly said, "Good stuff is definitely kept! Besides, I don't know how to get rid of it!"

"That may not be so.

Gain comes with loss.

Such a treasure wouldn't be given to you for free! Your Divine Soul Power is too weak now, and you can't communicate with it yet.

When your Divine Soul Power becomes strong enough, you'll naturally know what it intends to do!"

The Book Demon seemed to have discerned something, but said nothing to Ye Liuyun.
