Chapter 569: Dao Scripture Pavilion

"The Old Sect Master is right! Tianyi will be extra careful!"

Tianyi Daoist pondered Beigong Zhenren's words and felt they made a great deal of sense!

After saying this, Beigong Zhenren wanted to turn and leave, but just at this moment, Zhang Nuo called out to him!

"Please stay, Old Sect Master. This junior has something unclear and would like to ask for your guidance!"

Stopping his movement, Beigong Zhenren turned his head back to look at Zhang Nuo, wondering what this kid wanted to ask him.

"Speak! If this old man knows, I will certainly tell you!"

"Many thanks, Old Sect Master! This junior has encountered a problem in my cultivation! This matter is extremely important to me, so I had to speak to the Old Sect Master! What are the nine divine objects required to fuse the nine Divine Seas within a cultivator's body?"

Once these words were spoken, a look of shock appeared in the eyes of Tianyi Laodao! This question was too profound; he had almost never even thought about it. Being at the Integration Stage, wanting to fuse nine Divine Seas was a very distant matter!

Beigong Zhenren blinked his eyes; although his expression remained calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.

"Why do you ask this? Could it be that you have already opened all your Divine Seas at this time?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Nuo's noncommittal answer shocked the two of them once again, especially Tianyi Daoist, who exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost!

Beigong Zhenren was a bit better than him, but he too could not hide the look of excitement on his face.

"Could it be that you opened two Divine Seas when you were at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage?"

Zhang Nuo nodded slightly! It seemed the purple-robed Daoist's insight was very sharp; after a little thought, he had guessed the result!

"Hehe, it seems there is hope for the revival of Yangtian Hall!"

Beigong Zhenren chuckled and said:

"As for the items to fuse the nine Divine Seas, this old man does know, but I cannot finish explaining them in a moment. How about this: tomorrow you go to the 'Dao Scripture Pavilion'. There are some Jade Slips inside that specifically introduce the nine divine objects; you will know once you read them!"

After the old man finished speaking, he left without looking back! Only Zhang Nuo was left standing there in a daze. This Old Sect Master actually told him to go look for himself; could there be some hidden mystery in this?

After the battle with Wang Kaigang, Zhang Nuo's name spread rapidly within the Wuliang Dao Sect! The news that someone had come to Yangtian Hall who could fight against an Integration Late Stage cultivator was like a thunderclap!

And the disciples of Yangtian Hall finally held their heads high; they no longer had to walk around the cultivators of the other two halls! Tianyi Laodao valued Zhang Nuo even more, and in front of many Yangtian Hall disciples, he appointed Zhang Nuo to the position of Vice Hall Master!

The disciples who had seen Zhang Nuo's divine abilities naturally did not oppose this proposal and raised both hands in approval! Just like that, Zhang Nuo became a member of Yangtian Hall as a matter of course.

Early the next morning, Zhang Nuo went directly to the 'Dao Scripture Pavilion' of the Tianliang Dao Sect. All the classics of the sect were stored here, but there was one rule that left him greatly puzzled!

To enter the pavilion to read, one must pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones. The length of time one can stay in the pavilion depends entirely on the amount of Spirit Stones paid. Once the time is up, one is immediately teleported out! Moreover, the Jade Slips in the pavilion all have certain Restrictions placed on them, making it impossible to copy them at all!

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the 'Dao Scripture Pavilion', he saw an old man of about eighty years sitting near a table, toying with something that looked like a stone in his hand, eyes slightly closed, resting his mind! Judging by his cultivation, he was only at the late stage of Spirit Severing!

"This fellow Daoist, are you the manager of the 'Dao Scripture Pavilion'?"

Zhang Nuo walked to the table and asked.

"Oh! Senior Zhang! When did you arrive? This junior failed to notice, I hope you will forgive me!"

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree; Zhang Nuo was now a famous figure, and even the Old Sect Master looked at him differently, let alone a small cultivator guarding the 'Dao Scripture Pavilion'!

Zhang Nuo did not pay him any mind. He had seen too many people like this. If he hadn't had the battle with Wang Kaigang and was just standing here as an ordinary Yangtian Hall disciple, even if his cultivation were higher than the old man in front of him, the other party would definitely not have looked at him!

Throwing a small bag of Spirit Stones in front of the old man, Zhang Nuo said:

"I will be staying inside for a while. When I come out, you can deduct the corresponding Spirit Stones then!"

After speaking, he walked toward the teleportation array in front of the pavilion without looking back. With a flash of light, Zhang Nuo's figure disappeared!

Looking at the bag of Spirit Stones in front of him, the old man's expression changed as soon as he saw Zhang Nuo enter the pavilion, and he said with great disdain:

"Tch! What are you acting so arrogant for! In three months, when you go to the battlefield, let's see if you can come back alive?"

After collecting the Spirit Stones, the old man went back to toying with the stone in his hand!

Inside the Dao Scripture Pavilion, with a flash of spiritual light, Zhang Nuo's figure appeared. He looked up at the pavilion and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. From the outside, the Dao Scripture Pavilion was just a three-story building, but the area inside was extremely vast! In mid-air, Jade Slips were floating, and below the Jade Slips were a few lines of small text! From these small lines of text, a cultivator could easily distinguish the contents of these Jade Slips!

With his Divine Sense fully expanded, after scanning the first floor, he saw that these were only low-level cultivation techniques, so Zhang Nuo walked toward the second floor!

As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he saw several cultivators selecting Jade Slips. As soon as they saw Zhang Nuo enter, their gazes immediately fell upon him!

After a burst of surprised gasps, these people went back to selecting Jade Slips. They all knew Zhang Nuo and knew his divine abilities were not weak, so they did not dare to provoke him easily! They only hoped that he would not cause trouble for them!

With a similar scan of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo did not find any Jade Slips regarding the nine divine objects on the second floor either! With a flash, he went up to the third floor!

There was not a soul on this third floor. Zhang Nuo walked to the center, expanded his Divine Sense, and after a moment, a flash of light appeared in his eyes, and he reached out to grab a Jade Slip in a corner!

With a soft 'swish', the Jade Slip fell into his hand! He sank his Divine Sense into it, and sure enough, he saw some content related to the fusion of the Nine Divine Seas!

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhang Nuo began to read seriously! Since the Jade Slips could not be copied, he had to memorize all the records about the nine divine objects in the Jade Slip into his mind!

The content in the Jade Slip was very extensive. No wonder Beigong Zhenren refused to explain it in person yesterday; if he were to explain it, it would certainly take ten days or half a month!

Unknowingly, a month passed. Zhang Nuo was still sitting motionless, reading the contents of the Jade Slip, but his heart had long since become numb with shock. These nine divine objects, no matter which one, were extremely hard to find! If he were to use his current divine abilities, he would be lucky to obtain one or two; that would already be a great stroke of fortune!

Because he was too focused, Zhang Nuo did not notice at all that a young girl had walked in from the entrance of the third floor!

This girl looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a plain white long dress, with a high nose bridge, a pointed chin, a standard oval face, and skin so smooth it seemed it would drip water if pinched! Her eyebrows were curved, her beautiful eyes were full of emotion, and her thin red lips always carried a faint smile. She was truly a national beauty! A beauty that could topple cities and ruin nations! One word! Beautiful! Two words! Very beautiful! Three words! Too beautiful! Four words! Beautiful as a celestial being!

This girl's appearance could be considered a form of art, making one feel that having too many improper thoughts would be a sin, a desecration of this beautiful face!

As soon as the girl in white went up to the third floor, she discovered Zhang Nuo sitting cross-legged on the ground, fully focused on the Jade Slip in his hand, completely unaware of her arrival!

The girl blinked her eyes, and faint ripples appeared in her beautiful eyes, as lively as autumn water! She had already recognized Zhang Nuo, and she couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious!

Was the other party pretending not to notice her, or was he really completely absorbed by the content in the Jade Slip?

With light steps, the girl walked to one side and summoned a Jade Slip into her hand with one hand. As soon as there was movement, Zhang Nuo was startled to realize someone had come in! He hurriedly withdrew his Divine Sense from the Jade Slip and turned his face to look!

At this look, even his eyes lit up! What a beautiful girl; even his two Dao companions in the Human Realm would probably pale in comparison to her!

His thoughts turned rapidly, and Zhang Nuo remembered when Tianyi Daoist introduced the hall masters of the other two halls to him! Looking at the girl's appearance, she must be Murong Hongxiu, the Hall Master of Jintian Hall!

At this time, the girl also discovered that Zhang Nuo was looking at her, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face. She did not speak, but just nodded slightly toward Zhang Nuo!

Silence here was better than sound; this gesture of the girl made her appear even more charming. Even without using any Charm Technique, she could fascinate a crowd of men!

Zhang Nuo's state of mind wavered, but he hurriedly steadied it, returned the smile, and then stopped looking at her! But in his heart, he firmly remembered this city-toppling smile of the girl!

The girl's cultivation had already reached the Integration Late Stage, and she possessed several powerful divine abilities, making her quite famous within the Wuliang Dao Sect!

Zhang Nuo thought to himself: It seems that Murong Hongxiu is not just a pretty face to be able to sit on the throne of the Jintian Hall Master!

With the thought that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Nuo did not say much to her, but instead calmed his mind and carefully read the contents of the Jade Slip!

One month later, Zhang Nuo finally memorized the contents of the Jade Slip, then stood up and left the Dao Scripture Pavilion. Before he left, he looked back at Murong Hongxiu, who was also there reading a Jade Slip, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart! Although no great pressure radiated from her body, she still gave people a sense of danger!

Not long after Zhang Nuo left, Murong Hongxiu suddenly moved her demonic body and reached out to grab the Jade Slip that Zhang Nuo had been reading. After her Divine Sense sank into it, the color of her pretty face changed instantly!

"He actually read these! Could it be that this person wants to fuse the Nine Divine Seas?"

As the young girl muttered to herself, she began to look at Zhang Nuo with new eyes!
