Chapter 2278 - 2281: Xuanyuan Book Pavilion Third Floor

"Wow, Daluo Golden Immortal, tsk tsk, Qin Tian, today I finally saw a Daluo Golden Immortal make a move."

"Hehe, in our Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, it should be the top ten Inner Sect Disciples or those whose strength is infinitely close to challenging the top ten Inner Sect Disciples, only they can reach the Daluo Golden Immortal level. I had only heard about them before but never saw them in action. Today, my eyes have been opened."

"Hehe, that Hou Sailei, he had ill intentions and wanted to kill us. This is his own doing. Let's just pretend nothing ever happened when we go back and let him disappear in secret. Anyway, we cannot afford to offend the Qiu Family in Xuanyuan City, and since Qiuye Yuan dares to let us go back, he must have assumed we wouldn't speak of this matter."

On the way back to Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, Xu San was exceptionally excited about witnessing the Daluo Golden Immortal in action after a few days.

But Qin Tian was deep in thought.

Daluo Golden Immortal, this is undoubtedly a symbol of identity. Even the True Qi carries a golden glow, and within the True Qi, one can see the stars that signify the Cultivation Level—

One-star at the strongest, Nine-star at the highest!

Even a One-star Golden Immortal can be so overwhelming. What about a Three-star Golden Immortal, Five-star Golden Immortal, or even a Nine-star Golden Immortal?

Having originally won the spring Martial Arts Competition, Qin Tian was very delighted, but this time, his joy was dampened.

The road is long, and although he has progressed rapidly, he still has a long way to go before reaching the powerful ones of the Immortal Domain.

After returning to Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, early the next morning, Wang Tianqing summoned Qin Tian to the Cultivation Blessed Land.

At this time, Wang Tianqing appeared radiant, seemingly uplifted by Qin Tian's championship win at the spring Martial Arts Competition, his entire demeanor transformed.

"Hehe, Qin Tian, you've certainly opened my eyes. Sit down."

Wang Tianqing, smiling broadly, looked at Qin Tian and said, "The Storm Technique, you've actually cultivated it to the Peak Realm, and in less than half a year... Hehe, very good, excellent."

"Next, you have three days. You can go to the third floor of the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion to study the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts there. How much you can learn depends on your own fortune."

"You should go to the third floor of the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion tomorrow morning. Spend three days inside. After three days, Xuanyuan Immortal Sect will have an opportunity to train outside. Hehe, no matter what, you have the qualification for this outside training. To perform well when you're out, you must absorb well in these three days within the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion. It's a rare opportunity."

Wang Tianqing said to Qin Tian, and Qin Tian nodded at him.

Early the next morning, he headed to the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Qin Tian..."

"Good morning, Senior Brother Qin Tian."

"Wow! It's Senior Brother Qin Tian!"

Along the way, the disciples of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, upon seeing Qin Tian, had their tones and attitudes greatly changed, very respectful and holding great esteem for Qin Tian.

"I want to go to the third floor."

Qin Tian arrived at the second floor and said to the limping Elder.

"Hehe, young man, I've heard of your achievements, not bad... not bad, the Storm Technique, you've actually cultivated it to the Peak, beyond my expectations."

The limping Elder said to Qin Tian, "That is the entrance to the third floor. Just go in, and there is also a Guardian Elder on the third floor. Once you enter, someone will stop you."

Following the elder's words, Qin Tian ascended to the third floor. It was an invisible door with various True Qi Barriers. Even if a fire broke out, the books on the third floor of the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion would be preserved intact.

"You are able to ascend to the third floor of the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion. Could it be that you are the new champion of the spring Martial Arts Competition, Qin Tian?"

In the dim third floor, as soon as Qin Tian entered, a hoarse voice of an elder came.

Out of the blue, a figure appeared beside Qin Tian.

It was the hunched figure of an old man, wearing gray clothes and a gray hood, with even his eyes and face unclear.

Especially in this dimly lit place on the third floor of the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion, the mysterious elder's appearance made the atmosphere somewhat sinister and eerie.

"Yes."

Qin Tian said.

The elder, standing afar, with eyes faintly glimmering, seemed to be verifying Qin Tian's identity. After a minute, he said, "Very well, you have three days to stay here. Remember, you can only look at everything without hoarding, and you must not destroy or take anything away. If discovered, death!"

The elder in gray robes spoke with a warning tone, and there was even a faint hint of killing intent.

Qin Tian nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the elder in gray robes disappeared into thin air.

"Oh my, it's so dim in here, how am I supposed to read the books..."

After the gray-robed elder disappeared, Qin Tian began to examine the layout of the third floor of the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion.

Inside, it was dimly lit, starkly different from the layout of the first and second floors. Here, there were not rows of bookshelves filled with ancient treasured Cultivation Secret Manuals.

But instead, there were several walls within the large space of the third floor, with countless secret compartments on the walls, holding various Cultivation Secret Manuals within.

However, the light on the third floor was so dim that Qin Tian had to walk close and pick up the books in the compartments to see what was written on them.

"Divine Sword Concealing Technique..."

"Great Hidden Blade Skill..."

"Thunderbolt Technique..."

"Hiss, Nine Revolutions Heavenly Gang Technique."

...

Qin Tian slowly picked up the books in the secret compartments on the third floor and flipped through them one by one.

He was not in a hurry to start cultivation but planned to quickly browse all the books on the third floor first and then memorize two or three Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals before going out for cultivation.

After spending half a day, Qin Tian looked through over three hundred Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals. Of course, there were dozens of compartments that were sealed, probably because the Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals or treasures inside were not suitable for display to inner sect disciples like Qin Tian.

However, the over three hundred Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals were more than sufficient for Qin Tian.

These Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals were indeed just as Qin Tian had imagined, each Fist Technique, swordsmanship, or Sword Skill was top-tier, requiring at least middle stage of the Ascension Stage immortality cultivators to be eligible for training.

Some even had techniques that Qin Tian knew at first glance were impossible to initiate without having a cultivation level reaching the high stage of the Ascension Stage.

Within just half a day, Qin Tian's eyes were wide open.

However, he was genuinely torn about which Cultivation Technique to choose for training next. Every Cultivation Technique felt urgently needed for him.

But in two and a half days, if he wanted to memorize the mnemonic and comprehend the mental method, Qin Tian calculated the time and his usual speed, only allowing him to choose two to three books.

Memorizing the mnemonic is quick, but comprehending beyond the mnemonic requires browsing the original text of the Secret Manual and realizing the profound meaning on it, reaching an understanding in heart and mind.
