Gu Shijiu walked out of Jiang Heng's room and returned to his own room to start practicing.

It has to be said that the second-level practice method, the Sword-Watching Style, is more difficult to practice than the first-level Sword-Holding Style.

The state of visualization requires a free mind from distractions. Gu Shijiu simply couldn't calm down for a while, and even when it was completely dark, he still didn't get into the state.

"Bang bang bang."

The familiar knock on the door sounded again, and Gu Shijiu knew it must be Luo Chuan coming again.

"Please come in."

Gu Shijiu shouted at the door.

Luo Chuan walked in with a plate in his hand, smiling, and looked at Gu Shijiu and said, "How's it going, young master? Did you get anything?"

Gu Shijiu looked at Luo Chuan and replied with a wry smile: "I have gained something, but I still can't get into the state for a while. My mind is too confused and I can't visualize anything."

"Young Master, you must not be impatient. Cultivation is a slow process. Look at how long I have been cultivating, and I am still a second-level spiritualist. You have only been cultivating for less than half a year, and you are already a second-level spiritualist. You can be considered a natural genius."

"Don't comfort me, Luochuan. I'm just talking casually. If I can't succeed today, I can practice again tomorrow."

Gu Shijiu said in a nonchalant tone.

"By the way, Luochuan, where is the library? My master told me to go to the library when I have nothing to do, and he said it would be helpful to me."

"It's time to go to the library. The library is very helpful for second-level cultivation."

Luo Chuan hurriedly said, "Young Master, you are going to the library. I happen to be going there too. I will take you there tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Let's go and have a look together tomorrow."

Luo Chuan quickly replied: "No trouble, no trouble, the young master has something to do, and I just happen to be there too, so we can go together."

"Okay, then come and call me tomorrow."

Luochuan nodded in agreement.

The next day, early morning.

Gu Shijiu and Luo Chuan walked into the courtyard of Hengdao Escort Agency early in the morning. According to Luo Chuan, it was the rule that the book room would open at the crowing of a cock. If they went earlier, they could get the books they needed first.

Gu Shijiu thought it made sense, so he and Luo Chuan came over early.

After a while, they arrived at a seven-story attic with three big words written on it: Library.

"Is this the library? It's quite spectacular. I just wonder how many floors it has." Gu Shijiu said with emotion.

"Don't worry, young master. The library is probably the largest library in the entire Shenlong Dynasty, except for the royal library. It contains all kinds of cultivation techniques and even various unofficial histories."

"But it is worth noting that you can only go up one level on the first level, and you can only go up two levels on the second level. Legend has it that there are sixth-level secret techniques on the sixth level, and seventh-level secret techniques on the seventh level. I don't know if it's true or not, and we can't go up either."

"In short, there are at least thousands of secret techniques on the second floor, which is enough for us to observe and learn."

After listening to Luo Chuan, Gu Shijiu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good, that's good."

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the library together.

As soon as they entered the library, an old man was sitting at the door. He glanced at the two of them and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Inner disciple Gu Shijiu, second level authority. Miscellaneous disciple Luo Chuan, second level authority."

When Gu Shijiu saw Luo Chuan bowing to the old man, he quickly bowed as well.

After entering the first floor of the library, Gu Shijiu was stunned when he saw dozens of huge bookshelves.

"There are relatively more books on the first floor. There are first-level skills and secret techniques, as well as autobiographies of characters, and even miscellaneous notes such as travel notes and brief histories of the mainland. That's why there are so many."

Luo Chuan looked at Gu Shijiu in a daze and explained to him.

Seeing that Gu Shijiu seemed very interested in these, Luo Chuan said to Gu Shijiu, "Young Master, why don't you stay here and take a look? I'll wait for you on the second floor?"

Gu Shijiu was indeed very interested, so he said to Luo Chuan: "Okay, then you go to the second floor first, I will find you later."

After saying that, Gu Shijiu went to the bookshelf on the first floor by himself. Luo Chuan didn't stop either and went straight to the second floor.

Gu Shijiu stopped at the miscellaneous notes, picked up a book: A Brief History of the Divine Beast Empire, and started reading it.

The book records that the Empire of Divine Beasts occupied the entire continent, evil spirits retreated to the North and South Poles, monsters lived in the forests, and demons gasped in the abyss.

In addition, the Divine Beast Empire also classifies intelligent beasts that do not like to kill as spiritual beasts and raises them as pets.

However, everything that goes up must come down. On the night of the full moon, a natural disaster that occurs once every five thousand years strikes. A creature called "Xian" emerges from the full moon and engages in an unprecedented battle with the then-powerful Empire of Divine Beasts.

At that time, the Divine Beast Empire had hundreds of seventh-level emperors, four seventh-level emperor spirit pets, and two eighth-level saints, who were comparable to the creatures known as "human immortals" and "earth immortals" that descended.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a creature known as "celestial fairy" descended from the full moon again. With just one glance, the four seventh-level spirit pets of the Divine Beast Empire all rebelled.

The seventh-level spiritual beast Azure Dragon transformed into an eighth-level evil-eyed Azure Dragon.

The seventh-level spiritual beast white tiger transformed into an eighth-level ghost-patterned white tiger.

The seventh-level spiritual beast Suzaku transformed into the eighth-level evil fire Suzaku.

The seventh-level spiritual beast Xuanwu transformed into the eighth-level ghost-backed Xuanwu.

With the four great spiritual beasts joining the "immortal" camp, plus the so-called "celestial immortals", the human race was defeated.

The so-called Fairy in the Moon disappeared five days later when the moon turned into a waning moon. After the human race had resisted hard for five days, only one eighth-level and three seventh-level people were left alive.

In the following days, the demons, monsters, and evil spirits collectively attacked the human race.

The four rebellious spirit beasts returned to their original states, and their realm dropped to the seventh level again. They joined humans in resisting demons, monsters and evil spirits.

After dozens of days of fierce fighting, all the seventh and eighth level masters of the human race were wiped out, and the demons were once again sealed in the abyss in the center of the continent. The evil spirits were forced to the North and South Poles, and the monsters returned to the forest.

However, a forbidden area that could not be easily crossed was left in the center of the continent, and the once glorious empire of divine beasts became the two great dynasties of the dragon and phoenix.

The power of the human race declined from then on, and the demons and evil spirits could invade the human race without restraint.

The "immortal" of that year also made a harsh statement before leaving. The next time he came, he would definitely exterminate the human race, destroy the will of the continent, and turn the continent into "immortal land."

So that's how it is. After reading it, Gu Shijiu felt suddenly enlightened.

Therefore, the Demon Suppression County is close to the south, the Demon Suppression County is close to the forest, and the Evil Suppression County is close to the northern pole. It turns out that the world is still so chaotic.

Gu Shijiu thought about it and decided that if we calculated it based on once every five thousand years, then the next so-called "immortal" invasion would only be in a dozen years. There would really be a long way to go.

But Gu Shijiu changed his mind and realized that if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to resist.

A mere dozen years should not have much to do with me. Even if it does, cultivation is still the most important thing now.

Thinking of this, Gu Shijiu smiled indifferently, turned around and walked towards the second floor of the library.
