Chapter 2006: Library

Translator: Legge 

Divine Firmament Mainland, Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom.

Capital, palace library.

The city walls of the capital were thousands of feet tall.

The library was 90,000 feet tall and was the most striking building in the capital—it was also one of the emblems of the entire Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom!

Apart from Divine Firmament Palace, the library of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom was the second tallest building in the entire Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!

The library was all-encompassing and involved cultivation techniques, secret skills, Dharmic treasures, elixirs, tempering, various regions, trichiliocosm, ancient ruins, legends… it contained everything.

There had long been rumors in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain that the library of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom was the place with the most books in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the entire Heavenly World.

Standing on the top floor of the library, one could see the endless capital of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom and the mountains and rivers.

At that moment, a woman stood on the top floor of the library. Her long hair was tied up with a ribbon and draped casually behind her back. She wore a faint green dress that revealed her slender figure perfectly.

A gentle breeze blew, sweeping a few strands of black hair across the woman’s face.

The woman was oblivious to it and continued looking down at an ancient book in her hands with a focused expression, as though she was completely immersed in it.

Although she was only wearing plain clothes, her beauty surpassed all the other makeup in the world. Even though she was motionless, she exuded a refined and noble aura.

The woman held a scroll and stood against the wind. Her skirt fluttered gently in a graceful and beautiful manner, as though she was one with the entire library.

Suddenly!

A strange energy fluctuation came from an empty space on the top floor. Immediately after, the void collapsed, revealing a dark spatial tunnel.

As though she did not notice it, the woman looked at the book in her hands intently.

A moment later, a black figure fell out of the spatial tunnel and landed on the top floor in a sorry state. The spatial tunnel behind him closed and vanished.

That figure was Yun Ting who was brought back from the Emperor’s Tomb!

The woman did not turn back and was still focused on the book in her hands, as though there was nothing in the world that could attract her attention or look better than the words in the book.

“Sister!”

Yun Ting stood up and clenched his fists, shouting in the direction of the woman with an indignant expression.

When she heard that voice, the woman was in a daze. She paused for a moment before reacting. Frowning slightly, she said with her back facing Yun Ting, “Since you’re back, return to the residence and cultivate in peace.”

When Yun Ting saw that the woman did not seem to care about him at all, he felt even more aggrieved and indignant. He took a few steps forward and shouted again, “Sister, I didn’t lose at all. Why did you bring me back?!”

“You didn’t lose?”

The woman still did not look at Yun Ting as she shook her head. “The Ice Soul Silver Armor that I gave you is crippled both internally and externally. Yet, you claim that you didn’t lose?”

Yun Ting argued, “So what if they were crippled? I wasn’t severely injured nor hurt.”

“If not for the Ice Soul Silver Armor, would you have been able to return alive?”

The woman’s tone was cold and stern.

Yun Ting was still indignant and shouted, “A Dharmic treasure is also a part of one’s strength. Which rule states that Dharmic treasures are not allowed in a life and death battle?”

“If you hadn’t brought me back, I would have definitely defeated that person and helped you get your jade talisman!”

When she heard that, the woman was touched. A gentle look flashed through her eyes as she finally turned around and looked at Yun Ting.

Just as the woman was about to speak, she could not help but laugh when she saw Yun Ting.

The woman’s smile was charming and instantly, the surrounding skies seemed to brighten up.

At that moment, Yun Ting was covered in dust. His clothes were burned and his hair was thin. His cheeks were pitch-black like a black fire rod.

“Sister, how dare you laugh at me,”

Instantly, Yun Ting panicked and his face flushed red. However, it could not be seen clearly beneath his charcoal black skin.

This younger brother of hers was a prince of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom and a peerless monster incarnate who was invincible among his peers—he had never been in such a sorry state.

All of this was because Yun Ting wanted to fight for the jade talisman for her.

At that thought, the woman’s gaze softened. She put down the book in her hands and walked forward slowly, raising her hand to brush Yun Ting’s cheek gently.

A faint white light appeared on the woman’s fingertip.

The white light circulated around Yun Ting’s body and washed away the charcoal on his body in the blink of an eye.

Some of Yun Ting’s wounds began to heal as well.

The woman took out a long dress and draped it on Yun Ting, saying gently, “I guessed that you sneaked into the Emperor’s Tomb because of me. However, you’re not allowed to do this in the future.”

“Father doesn’t have many descendants and you’re the youngest and most talented. If anything happens to you, he’ll be heartbroken.”

“Furthermore, among these siblings, you’re the one I like the most.”

Yun Ting lowered his head slightly and mumbled, “I know. You and father have taken care of me since I was young. However, I’ve never ever given you a gift.”

In front of the woman, Yun Ting no longer had the cold and arrogant aura as he did in the Emperor’s Tomb. Instead, he became more obedient and revealed the demeanor of a child from time to time.

After all, he was only 200 years old, equivalent to three or four years old among mortals.

Of course, Yun Ting would only reveal such childish naivety in front of this woman.

In front of outsiders, even his father and other brothers, he was also Prince Yun Ting, a rare paragon who looked down on the world!

When Yun Ting lost his mother when he was young, apart from his father, his sister was the only one who accompanied him when he was young. In his heart, his sister was the closest person to him.

Otherwise, he would not have ventured deep into the danger zone to retrieve the jade talisman personally as a gift for his sister.

Yun Ting said, “You’ve always liked to study, sister. I heard that this jade talisman is related to a Taboo Mystic Classic and wanted to help you get it.”

“It’s just a connection. Even if you can obtain the jade talisman, you might not be able to obtain the Taboo Mystic Classic. This jade talisman is truly not worth the risk,”

The woman looked at Yun Ting and said softly, “Even a true Taboo Mystic Classic is less than a thousandth of you, let alone a jade talisman.”

“Sister!”

Yun Ting called out softly with teary eyes.

“You’re still crying even though you’re already so old,”

The woman smiled.

“Who’s crying?!”

Yun Ting blushed and pulled up his sleeves to wipe his eyes messily. He said angrily, “Sister, even if you didn’t bring me back, that person won’t be able to hurt me!”

He felt even more indignant at the thought of Su Zimo.

“That person could even cripple the Ice Soul Silver Armor I gave you. How do you know he doesn’t have other trump cards?”

The woman asked instead.

“Definitely not!”

Yun Ting blurted.

However, his tone softened quickly as he muttered, “That person is only a Grade 9 Black Immortal. He must be at the end of his road after releasing three Essence Spirit secret skills and a powerful secret skill in succession. He shouldn’t have any other methods.”

“Mmm?”

The woman frowned slightly before reacting and asking, “You mean to say that you were defeated by a single person? A Black Immortal at that?”
