Chapter 743 – Breaking into the Book Mountain (Next)
Looking at Xu Chuniang’s posture of not hitting the south wall and not turning back, Wang Tianhao was somewhat helpless.
“Okay, that is, you rely on having the Dragon’s Sacred Tree and the Laws of Life in hand, in this hard to break in, you have to be more careful, do not suck the Dragon’s Sacred Tree dry.”
Xu Chuniang ignored the Skywatcher’s Roar and triggered the palm seal in the scripture scroll once again.
The palm imprint slapped once again, and with defense, Xu Chunniang narrowly avoided the blow.
Unexpectedly, the palm imprint suddenly spread out, transforming from one into two, and then into four, locking onto his aura before slapping at her from four directions, east, west, south, north and south.
With his qi locked, it was as if there were four invisible mountains pressing down on her body, making it difficult for her to move the slightest bit.
Seeing that the four palm imprints were about to land on her body, Xu Chuniang’s mind moved, and her virtual body left her solid body and stayed in place.
Her actual body, however, evaded towards the top, dodging the blow. The four palm imprints slapped at the virtual body in unison, and the moment the palm imprints landed on top of the virtual body, the virtual body suddenly disappeared, and the palm imprints fell short.
The scripture scrolls above her suddenly dimmed in spiritual light and were easily broken.
As soon as the scripture scroll was broken, the pure soul power contained within it continued to spill out in all directions.
Xu Chuniang acted according to the law, releasing her divine sense to casually roll it up and devour all the soul power.
Her Divine Sense, surged up a notch.
Xu Chuniang released her Divine Sense with unfulfilled intentions, sweeping back and forth a few times in the vicinity, confirming that there wasn’t any missing soulforce before continuing forward.
“Although this soul force is small, but it is better than pure, there are as many scriptures and scrolls as there are in the mountain of books, and as less becomes more, one can always draw in a lot of soul force.”
This time, Skywatcher didn’t speak out against it anymore.
Although that palm seal was powerful, after destroying the scripture scrolls sealed with the palm seal, the amount of soul power obtained was also several times more.
Taking a detour would save some effort, but it was equivalent to voluntarily giving up that soul power.
Xu Chuniang advanced slowly up the mountain of books, her divine sense growing a tiny bit stronger with every scripture scroll she broke.
When she encountered a more powerful divine ability, she patiently wore out the aura in the scripture scrolls little by little.
After a year of walking and stopping like this, Xu Chuniang hardened herself and stepped out on a path in the mountain of books.
Looking at the last scripture scrolls, she could leave the mountain, looking at Tianhao, looking at the mountains full of scripture scrolls, but some reluctance to leave just like that.
“There are still so many scripture scrolls, it can produce quite a lot of soul power, just leave like this? How about triggering all the scripture calligraphy scrolls here, all of them ……”
Before the words fell, the entire Book Mountain suddenly shook lightly and violently rose tens of feet.
The last scripture scroll in front of Xu Chuniang suddenly blossomed with golden light, transforming into a hemispherical golden boundary that trapped her within.
A blurry figure, coalesced out as it looked towards Xu Chunniang, its tone somewhat displeased.
“Intruder, you have disturbed my deep sleep, before I get angry, I advise you to go back where you came from.”
Skywatcher spoke back, “We’re not intruders, we came in with a key!”
“Shut up you!”
Xu Chuniang glared at the Soul Suppressor Pots in dissatisfaction, if it wasn’t for the fact that Wang Tianhao had a little bit of battle power, she really wanted to shove him into the small world.
After warning Wang Tianhao, she resumed looking at the blurry figure in front of her.
“May I ask Your Excellency, is this the Soul of Book Mountain?” The blurry figure shifted slightly, its voice wavering.
“So what if I am, so what if I’m not? You don’t abide by the rules of my Book Mountain and destroyed two hundred and thirty-one scripture scrolls in the Book Mountain without authorization, and you still want to pass my Book Mountain?”
As the Spirit of Book Mountain’s words fell, a strong soul force swept towards Xu Chuniang, exerting an invisible pressure.
Xu Chuniang mobilized her entire body’s divine sense to fend off this soul force, asking rhetorically, “Since I want to break into the Book Mountain, how can I not ask for the Scripture Scrolls?”
The Soul of Book Mountain froze, withdrew a portion of its soul force, and murmured.
“You have a point, but you destroyed two hundred and thirty-one of my scripture scrolls and stole much of my soul power, so this matter cannot be left at that!
Why don’t you return the portion of soul power you stole to me, and help me restore those scripture scrolls that I destroyed, and I’ll let you pass through this mountain of books.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “Not to mention those scripture scrolls, I can’t restore them, even the soul power has been absorbed by me, how can I give it back to you?”
The Spirit of the Book Mountain was annoyed, “Neither this nor that, get lost, get out of my Book Mountain!”
Not seeing how the Soul of Book Mountain moved, a huge force came towards Xu Chuniang, directly knocking her back hundreds of miles away, directly falling off the Book Mountain and back to the foot of the mountain where she had first started climbing.
Xu Chuniang rolled over and stood up straight, patting the grass clippings and dust on her body.
After holding back her skygazing for a while, she finally couldn’t help herself.
“I reminded you earlier, so that you don’t destroy the scriptures and scrolls in the Book Mountain, you preferred not to believe it, this time you were directly driven off the mountain by the Spirit of the Book Mountain, right?”
Xu Chuniang didn’t take the path she had previously opened up, but instead chose another new path with hundreds of scripture scrolls, “How many times was I beaten down the mountain by those divine moves before I was driven down by the Spirit of the Book Mountain?”
Skywatcher froze and recalled for a while, “Thirty times …… No, it seems to be forty times? I can’t count.”
“So it doesn’t matter if I was driven off the mountain, I’ll just go through it again.”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, not seeing the slightest hint of frustration on her face as she stepped into the confines of a new scripture scroll.
In the next moment, thunder roared, and the spiritual light in the scripture scrolls flickered, erupting into hundreds of purple thunderballs that exploded towards Xu Chunniang one after the other.
Skywatcher came to a sudden realization, “So you anticipated all of this, that’s why you didn’t trigger all of the scripture scrolls?”
“It’s my first time coming to this Book Mountain, so how can I know all the aftermath?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “I took the straight path only because, that was the shortest path, but the spirit of the Book Mountain refused to let me pass, so I had to choose another path.”
Wang Tianhao was speechless for a while, thinking, “Originally, the Spirit of the Book Mountain was displeased with you for destroying two hundred and twenty-one scripture scrolls, and if you destroy more, you’ll definitely be thrown out of the Heavenly Heart Pavilion directly by it.
It seems that the golden house in the depths of the Heavenly Heart Pavilion is not going to be able to go.
But being able to draw in a little more soul power is a small gain.
Another year passed, and Xu Chuniang opened up another new path, looking to leave the mountain of books, and was once again stopped by the last boundary of soul power condensed from the scripture scrolls.
Almost the instant the boundary was first formed, the figure of the Soul of the Book Mountain directly manifested itself, with a tone of obvious anger.
“You have destroyed two hundred and twenty-six of my scripture scrolls again!”
In the face of the Spirit of the Book Mountain’s questioning, Xu Chuniang was not subdued and only said.
“Since I wanted to break into the Book Mountain, how could I not ask about the scripture scrolls? It’s not that I intended to damage these scripture scrolls, it’s just that they, as it happens, are in the way of the path I’m going to take.”
