Chapter 744 – Taking the Straight Path
Chapter 744 – Taking the Straight as the Road
The Spirit of the Book Mountain became angry and growled, “What do you mean they happen to be in the way of the path you are going to take, there is no path in the Book Mountain, you go back!”
The familiar huge force came towards Xu Chuniang once again.
This time, the Spirit of the Book Mountain not only kicked her out of the Book Mountain, but also placed several prohibitions on her body, sealing off all of her aura and divine sense.
Xu Chuniang rolled up from the ground and tried to break free of the restraints.
But the Spirit of the Book Mountain had strange methods, and after using several methods, she was unable to break free.
Skywatcher scanned the restraints on her body and recognized their origins.
“This is a soul forbidden technique, only if the divine soul is stronger than the person who casts the technique, will there be a chance to break free.”
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly and did not continue to try.
The scriptures and scrolls in this entire mountain of books were all owned by the Soul of the Book Mountain, and it was easy to imagine how terrifying the other party’s soul power was.
With her current soul power, she was simply unable to break free from the shackles of the Soul Forbidden Technique.
She raised her head to look at the mountain of books not far away and stared.
With her spirit power and divine sense sealed, her strength had been weakened by at least half, should she continue to break into the mountain of books?
Skywatcher was silent as well, but he was equally unwilling to return home after this.
After a long period of silence, Xu Chuniang finally set foot on the Mountain of Books again, choosing a new path and triggering the divine abilities in the scripture scrolls.
Without her spiritual power and divine sense, the only means she could utilize were the Meteoric Heart Flame, Dharma Domain, and Void Body, and she coped with them with great reluctance.
Seeing her being whisked away by hundreds of phantom crows, Skywatcher sighed deeply, controlling the Soul Suppressor Pot and smashing it fiercely towards the leading few phantom crows.
The phantom crows let out a mournful cry, and their bodies transformed into dots of soul power light, disappearing without a trace.
With the help of the Skywatcher, Xu Chuniang finally resolved this group of phantom crows.
It took more than three times as long as usual.
After the phantom crows died, the golden soul power exerted by the scripture scrolls was still hovering around.
Xu Chuniang’s divine sense was sealed, and she couldn’t even absorb this soul power.
Instead, a shadow stepped out of her body, and with a single roll towards the many bits and pieces of soul power, it absorbed them all.
It turned out that although this Soul Prohibition Technique was powerful, what it sealed was only her actual body.
The virtual body was formless and without substance, thus escaping the constraints of the Soul Prohibition Technique.
Seeing this, Skywatcher was slightly embarrassed.
Previously, when he was at the Sea of Learning, he had tried his best to persuade Girl Xu that she shouldn’t waste her spiritual qi to condense her avatar.
Unexpectedly, this avatar really did have some wonderful uses, and when the virtual reality was one, it was actually able to evade the Soul Prohibition Technique.
After swallowing the soul power, the virtual body’s divine soul, was slightly enhanced.
Without the soul power, Xu Chuniang rested for five days before suppressing the injuries on her body.
After her injuries slightly improved, she immediately moved and continued to march forward, as if she would not stop until she reached the Book Mountain.
Wang Tianhao glanced at her with mixed feelings.
“The first scripture scroll is so difficult, the next will only be more difficult, you are not afraid of not being able to walk through it, and in turn cause an injury?”
“The difficulty of the Sea of Learning, Mountain of Books, and House of Gold in the Heavenly Heart Pavilion will change depending on the cultivation level of the intruder.”
Xu Chuniang paused and continued.
“Although the divine moves in these scripture and calligraphy scrolls are powerful, they are always still within the tolerance range of the Refined Void Stage, so without trying, how do you know if you can break through?”
“Alright, Xu girl you have this vigor, then Grandpa Hao will help you.”
Wang Tianhao boldly said, “Legend has it that in the golden house, all kinds of treasures are available, I also want to see, what are the strange and exotic treasures inside.” After being sealed off from her spiritual power and divine sense, this road to the Book Mountain was exceptionally difficult for Xu Chuniang to walk, often stopping and going.
Every time she broke open a scripture scroll, she would have to nurse her injuries for days or even tens of days.
Several times, she even encountered life and death crises, but fortunately, she was able to escape into the Law Domain of Life and Death in time, relying on the unending Laws of Life within it, and was able to retrieve a life.
However, most of the time, she did not use the Laws of Life to heal her injuries.
Although the Law Domain of Life and Death could heal injuries, it was likewise one of her important means of fighting the enemy.
If she used up one more point of her law power, the domain would have one less point of power.
More than five years, more than 1,800 days and nights.
In front of Xu Chuniang, there was only one last golden scripture scroll left, blocking her path.
Once again, she was trapped by that golden boundary of soul power and met the Soul of the Book Mountain.
Seeing her again after five years, the Spirit of the Book Mountain rarely moved in anger.
It swept over the various wounds on her body and remained silent for a long time before saying, “You actually haven’t left yet?”
“At the end of the Book Mountain is the Golden House, and I naturally can’t leave until I see the Golden House.”
“The mountain of books originally has no path, and where does the end come from?”
“The mountain of books has no road, it can be straightened into a road, and the footsteps I have traveled become the road.”
“What a way to make the road straight!”
The Spirit of the Book Mountain looked at her scrutinizingly, “But you destroyed my six hundred and eighty-seven Scripture Scrolls.
Don’t you understand the rules of the Book Mountain, not destroying any of the scripture scrolls will make it possible for you to be recognized by me.”
“In these six hundred and eighty seven scripture calligraphy scrolls are six hundred and eighty seven different divine ability moves, sword arts, laws, illusions, voodoo …… everything, it can be said to be all encompassing.”
The Spirit of the Book Mountain nodded proudly, “Not bad, in this Book Mountain of mine, there are a total of sixty-six thousand six hundred scripture scrolls, what you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg.”
“Since you want to pass through the mountain of books, how can you not ask for the scripture scrolls? There are sixty-six thousand six hundred Scripture Scrolls in the Mountain of Books, and I have only traveled the path that I should have traveled.”
The Spirit of the Book Mountain’s tone slowed down slightly, “Then what do you see from these scripture scrolls?”
Xu Chuniang replied in response, “I see that one qi transforms all methods. All the divine moves are transformed by aura.”
The Spirit of the Book Mountain stared at her closely, “Oh, then why, when the scripture scrolls are broken away, do they transform into soul energy?”
“Aura and soul force are different but of the same origin, and you condensed the Scripture Scrolls of the Scriptures with this soul force, carrying all sorts of divine ability moves.
So after the divine ability moves are broken, the Scripture Scrolls of the Scripture will be transformed back into soul power.”
The Soul of the Book Mountain smiled slightly, “Well said, since one wants to cross the Book Mountain, how can one not ask for the scripture scrolls. Those who do not ask for the scripture scrolls, how can they enter the golden house?
Just don’t say I didn’t remind you, that golden house is at the end of the mountain of books, it’s easy to go in, but it’s a thousand times more difficult to reach the top.”
As soon as the words fell, the body of the Spirit of the Book Mountain dissipated.
The golden soul force boundary that had trapped Xu Chuniang also instantly crumbled, turning into countless tiny points of soul force light.
Feeling the restrictions on her body being removed, Xu Chunniang’s heart stirred as she probed out her divine sense and absorbed all of the surrounding soul power light points.
These soulforce was exceptionally pure, and after she devoured all of it, her divine sense surged by a small half.
Together with those soul power she had devoured earlier, the strength of her Divine Sense today was already very astonishing, and her Divine Sense in her actual body alone was equivalent to that of a late stage Void Refining cultivator.
And the divine sense of the virtual body was no weaker than the middle stage of Void Refining, which could be described as a divine advancement.
