Chapter 715: Bowing Welcome

For those watching the excitement, Ye Liuyun was too lazy to pay attention.

He wanted to enter the Library as quickly as possible, lest more people gather and draw even stronger individuals.

The wooden sword blown away in the distance also stared blankly at Ye Liuyun.

"So his strength is actually this great!"

He had also heard that Ye Liuyun had defeated Zhou Heng. But Zhou Heng, in the eyes of the top three heavenly pride, was also trash. So they didn't think much of this newcomer either.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Liuyun entered the Secret Realm, he crushed him. And it was an absolute dominance of strength.

The wooden sword, defeated by Ye Liuyun, was completely convinced. Ye Liuyun's blade intent was at least one level higher than his sword intent.

Aside from sword intent, he had no other strengths to show. So even if he gave his all, he wouldn't be a match for Ye Liuyun.

Just as Ye Liuyun approached the stone Kuailei, he suddenly felt that the stone Kuailei were sizing up his realm and strength.

However, to everyone's surprise, all the stone Kuailei suddenly erupted with a boom, simultaneously releasing the aura of Yin Yang Jiu Zhong.

Ye Liuyun was also startled by this formation, his heart jolting. "What's going on? Could they all be targeting me?"

For a moment, he was also at a loss, standing frozen. If he sensed danger, he prepared to turn and flee immediately.

Next, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

All the stone Kuailei neatly formed two rows, simultaneously raising their right hands to their chests and bowing to Ye Liuyun!

Immediately, the Library's doors opened, as if welcoming Ye Liuyun inside.

This sight left everyone dumbfounded.

Ye Liuyun was also at a loss. Not knowing what was happening, he hesitated about whether to go in.

But he also noticed that although these stone Kuailei emitted the pressure of Yin Yang Jiu Zhong, they all bypassed him directly and instead intimidated others.

So he cautiously tried walking a few steps forward; finding nothing amiss, he took a few more steps until he entered the Library, with the stone Kuailei maintaining their bowing posture the whole time, unchanged.

And after Ye Liuyun entered, the Library's doors promptly closed.

Outside, those stone Kuailei had not changed in realm; all were Yin Yang Jiu Zhong, encircling the Library as if guarding Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also detected the outside situation, leaving him even more puzzled.

"What's going on? Why are they bowing to welcome me in?"

Ye Liuyun thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he decisively stopped thinking and directly began searching for the second half of the Qiankun Palm.

The Library didn't hold many books; each floor had nearly a hundred, all sorts of cultivation arts and secret techniques.

Ye Liuyun rushed straight to the third floor. According to Elder Song Yan's memory, the lower half of the Qiankun Palm was on the third floor.

Between each floor's stairs, stone Kuailei stood guard. But upon seeing him, they all bowed in the same posture, offering no obstruction.

Ye Liuyun smoothly reached the third floor and easily found the lower half of the Qiankun Palm.

He saw that some books were missing from the shelves, likely taken by earlier visitors.

The Qiankun Palm might have been left untouched because only its lower half remained.

He directly stored the lower half of the Qiankun Palm into his Storage Ring.

According to Song Yan, each person may take only one book; taking more would provoke the stone Kuailei to attack.

Ye Liuyun had originally intended to leave, but he then saw that the stone Kuailei between the second and third floors were still maintaining their bowing posture.

"They're welcoming me like this—could it be that I could take a few more books and they wouldn't care?"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun couldn't resist trying it out.

He didn't immediately take another book; instead, he picked it up, flipped through it to see the stone Kuailei's reaction. Seeing no response, he then stored the book.

Then he readied himself for escape, fully on guard.

To his delight, those Kuailei showed no reaction at all.

So Ye Liuyun seized the moment, loading all the books from the third floor into his Storage Ring, then intently watching that Kuailei as he descended to the second floor.

"Safe! It seems these stone Kuailei won't attack me."

Thinking that, he also packed away the books from the second floor.

The higher the floor, the higher the grade of the cultivation arts. But since it's all free, Ye Liuyun doesn't mind taking them all; even if he can't use them himself, others could later.

Seeing the stone Kuailei still unresponsive, he went down to the first floor and collected its books as well.

He had swept up every book in the Library!

Know that even the Library's lowest‑floor books, if taken to the Lingxiao Sect, would be priceless treasures.

In one go, Ye Liuyun collected over three hundred cultivation arts!

He vaguely thought that these stone Kuailei welcoming him might be related to the Ten Thousand Gods Command in his Sea of Consciousness.

However, these Kuailei lack Divine Sense, so he couldn't communicate with them.

"Anyway, I've got the loot—I should get out of here fast!"

Thinking that, Ye Liuyun went straight to the Library's entrance.

The Library's doors opened again, and Ye Liuyun walked out unharmed.

Only then did he see that a fellow sect disciple outside had been blasted to death by the stone Kuailei; everyone else was keeping their distance.

It turned out that after seeing him enter, someone else had tried to challenge the stone Kuailei.

But the stone Kuailei's realm hadn't changed; at the level of Yin Yang Jiu Zhong, they directly blasted that challenging disciple, frightening the others into staying far away.

After Ye Liuyun came out, he even took a moment to examine those stone Kuailei.

"If only I could take these stone Kuailei with me!"

But after staring for a long time he still couldn't figure out how they were controlled, so he reluctantly left to look for other treasures.

The wooden sword and other disciples watched Ye Liuyun emerge, then circled the stone Kuailei to inspect them, astonished enough that their eyes widened.

They all felt Ye Liuyun's courage was too great, daring to provoke the Yin Yang Jiu Zhong stone Kuailei.

Then, just as when Ye Liuyun entered, those stone Kuailei, upon sensing his approach, immediately withdrew their pressure and let him examine them at will.

Only after Ye Liuyun left did those stone Kuailei return to their places and resume their former appearance; the Library's great doors also closed tightly again.

"What's going on with these stone Kuailei? It seems they treated Ye Liuyun as their master and paid him respect!"

"What trick did this brat pull?"

"Everyone was discussing it, but no one dared to step forward and try again lightly."
