Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 647 - 354: The Grand Library Upgrade!

Chapter 647: Chapter 354: The Grand Library Upgrade!

As these beams of light retreated,

there were cultivators in various small worlds who regretted their hesitation at the last moment, finding it too late for regrets.

There were also cultivators who were just a step away from success, who could only watch in despair as the columns of light disappeared and knelt on the ground, crying out, "No, don’t go!"

Su Ping could feel the despair and pleadings of these people through his Primordial Spirit.

However, he was still not strong enough.

This time, snatching food from the tiger’s mouth was only barely possible with the influence of the Heavenly Tathagata.

If he continued to intervene this way, he feared the Sons of the Evil God might suspect he was hoarding the benefits for himself.

That would not be good at all.

Despite the fact that Su Ping was no longer afraid when facing the Sons of the Evil God’s main bodies,

there were great differences among the Sons of the Evil God.

Among those attacking this Small Thousand World were some ranked higher and hidden in the dark, controlling their puppets and causing chaos.

A full-on conflict without regard for the bigger picture would only result in mutual destruction.

Meanwhile, by taking in so many survivors from the small worlds,

Su Ping had gained a large number of cultivation inheritances in one go.

Though most of these inheritances were only viable up to the Golden Core stage,

there were still some shining points of cultivation within them.

After reading and understanding them, he could not only enhance his own cultivation experience,

but also gain recognition from the Great Library in Pot Cave Heaven.

After receiving this massive amount of inheritances,

combined with the accumulated inherited knowledge from before,

the ancient Great Library had a requirement for an upgrade, and following Su Ping meeting its demand of ten thousand Fishing Coins,

the quality of the ancient Great Library was sublimated from Rare to Exceptional,

and its name changed from ancient to the Famous Great Library.

In the original three-tier library, a Fourth Layer has been added.

This Fourth Layer was located in a special Otherworldly Space.

Su Ping entered curiously,

and immediately upon entry, he saw a large round table with twelve wooden chairs.

Around the large round table were mazes constructed of colossal wooden bookshelves, each a hundred meters tall.

Su Ping casually glanced in one direction, only to find that the corridors formed by the bookshelves seemed endless.

However, when using his Divine Sense, he could instantly feel the Fourth Layer of the library suppressing it.

Even as powerful as Su Ping was now, he couldn’t extend his Divine Sense beyond a hundred meters from his body when operating at full strength.

But this was enough for Su Ping to observe the condition of those tall bookshelves.

The hundred-meter tall shelves were naturally filled with books,

though the sizes of the books varied.

Some were the size of an adult’s palm, while others were so big they packed an entire shelf tightly.

As Su Ping’s gaze swept over, he discovered that these books weren’t generated out of thin air.

According to the automatic feedback, all these books originated from the Great Library’s own treasures.

Su Ping took out a book.

The book had almost no weight and could be automatically flipped open with the power of thought.

Upon opening, Su Ping saw that it recorded a sect’s Golden Core Secret Technique and began flipping through it quickly.

Swish, swish, swish!

As the pages turned, Su Ping felt a mysterious force acting in his mind.

It was a complex golden Immortal Text.

As it coalesced,

Su Ping attained instant enlightenment on the contents of that Secret Technique contained within the Immortal Text.

Moreover, learning the Secret Technique through the Immortal Text in his mind was much faster and more profound than through reading traditional inheritance records,

and greatly reduced the risk of suffering from Deviation during cultivation.

Yet to Su Ping, this wasn’t the most crucial part.

The key was that for a hundred Fishing Coins, one could get a recommendation from the Great Library,

allowing it to select the book that best suited the person from its own wealth of knowledge.

For cultivators, this meant selecting the most suitable Cultivation Technique for inheritance.

Furthermore, as the master of the Great Library, Su Ping knew that in addition to these features, the next stage of the Great Library would open up a borrowing room.

There, by paying a certain price, he could obtain books from the Book of Knowledge that were outside of the Great Library’s collection.

Such as special Divine Secret Skills, higher-level compilations of Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Formation, and Talisman arts,

and mysterious books containing special knowledge, like the Abyss Book documenting the history of the Abyss Seven Emperors, or the Crimson Creation Book, which describes how the ancient ones perished and turned into several Great Thousand Worlds, among others.

These were clearly dangerous items just by looking at their titles and summaries, the kind that could cause disasters or even bring about an apocalypse simply by opening them.

However, apart from these dangerous items, Su Ping was still very interested in borrowing other knowledge...

And he set a silent goal for himself to keep collecting knowledge, contributing to the Great Library,

hoping to see the borrowing room built sooner rather than later.

Before that, he naturally had to make good use of this new addition to the Great Library.

Consequently,

several individuals who were diligently cultivating in the Pot Cave Heaven suddenly received a reminder in their minds.

Then, in just the time it takes an incense stick to burn,

in the Fourth Layer’s Otherworldly Space of the Great Library,

under the gentle white light that was still quite soft, shadows appeared one after another by the large round table.

Aside from the native inhabitants of Water Blue Star with Spiritual Bodies, who happened to be in Pot Cave Heaven these past few days—Zhou Xuan, Zhang Qiuzhen, Zhang Long, Kamo Junichiro, Shanawati, and Teresa—

there were also talented young cultivators from small worlds whom Su Ping had taken a liking to and had forcibly taken on as disciples.

Among them was the ponytailed youth from Amber Realm, Amber, who was part of the group.

He had previously been put through a variety of rigorous training by the Demon Emperor White Ape, experiencing one hundred and eight different postures of being struck by a rod.
