However, what somewhat disappointed Lin Fan was that not all the books contained profound cosmic principles like the “Buddha Demon Sutra.”
It seemed the “Buddha Demon Sutra” must have been written by a cultivator at the sixth realm of the Divine Heaven, a master of laws.
Only someone at that level could infuse their comprehension of cosmic laws into the text, giving rise to a Book Spirit.
For example, if Lin Fan attempted to write a book now, although it might contain some willpower, it would absolutely fail to produce a Book Spirit.
His strength and understanding had not yet reached that level.
Lin Fan sensed the aura of each book. The stronger the aura, the more powerful the cultivator who had authored it.
Faced with this vast ocean of books, flipping through each one individually—even with his system—would take an immeasurable amount of time.
“Cloud Sea Secrets”
This was a body technique. However, for Lin Fan, he already had “A Step Between,” but he now understood that learning multiple techniques could be beneficial—absorbing strengths, filling gaps, and eventually creating his own martial arts when his foundation was solid enough.
“Learn it.”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan instructed his system to learn automatically.
Yet at that moment, something astonishing occurred. The martial arts spirit within his inner world began roaring.
“Brothers, a newcomer has arrived. Let’s destroy it!”
“A Step Between Brother, a new technique dares to challenge you for dominance. Quickly devour it and strengthen your weaknesses.”
“Hmph! A mere technique spirit dares to challenge me? Watch me swallow you whole!”
Before the newly-formed technique spirit could even grasp what was happening, it was instantly devoured by the spirit of “A Step Between.”
“What the heck! This is pointless—it’s pure tyranny!” Lin Fan was shocked and barely able to believe it.
He hadn’t expected his martial arts spirits to be this powerful, even growing increasingly intelligent—capable of sensing threats.
What surprised Lin Fan even more was that after devouring “Cloud Sea Secrets,” “A Step Between” actually underwent a subtle transformation, as though it had absorbed the essence of the former into itself.
“This is great! Looks like I’ve stumbled upon a new discovery,” Lin Fan thought joyfully. He hadn’t expected his martial techniques to evolve by absorbing one another, taking only the best aspects.
Within this world of books, Lin Fan would pause and read hundreds of books each time.
Some were useful, others not.
Yet Lin Fan’s own comprehension deepened continuously, enriching the knowledge within his inner Dao path.
In the hidden depths of the library, it seemed as though a pair of unseen eyes watched silently.
These eyes had been observing Lin Fan’s every move.
When they saw him grasp the essence of each book he read, astonishment flickered across them.
Especially as Lin Fan read more, his aura grew stronger, which shocked the observer even further.
Anger! Ferocity! Kindness! Joy! Battle spirit!…
These auras continuously transformed, seamlessly shifting with each book he read, without the slightest obstruction.
“He has entered the state of unity between person and book. What a monstrous talent!”
The librarian, who had guarded the library for centuries, had never encountered such a phenomenon.
As Lin Fan ventured deeper into the library, the auras of the books grew increasingly formidable.
At one point, Lin Fan picked up a book and immediately sensed a sharp sword intent emanating from it, as if attempting to pierce through his palm.
“What霸道的剑意！” Lin Fan swiftly suppressed it and looked at the cover.
“Earth-Shattering Sword.”
As Lin Fan opened the first page, the characters twisted like dragons and snakes, transforming into waves of sword intent aimed directly at his eyes.
In that instant, Lin Fan felt as if he stood within a world of sword intent.
A golden glow shone from Lin Fan’s eyes, condensing into an emperor-level sword intent that instantly crushed the sword intent within the book.
“Living being, your sword intent is mighty. If you become my sword slave, I shall teach you the ultimate sword Dao.”
In an instant, an old man in white robes appeared before Lin Fan, his two long, thin white whiskers as sharp as swords, hanging straight down.
The old man was the sword, and the sword was the old man.
At the moment the old man appeared, there was no sword in the heavens or earth—only this one sword that defied heaven and earth.
Lin Fan now understood that these powerful books could all bewitch the mind. Compared to the “Buddha Demon Sutra,” this “Earth-Shattering Sword” was far more formidable.
Unfortunately, to Lin Fan, none of this was impressive.
“Your sword is my sword, your sword intent pierces heaven and earth, but it still isn’t enough.” Lin Fan flicked his finger, unleashing his Void Sword Intent, which shattered the old man’s sword realm and cut him down.
“You…”
The old man’s face twisted with rage, but in an instant, it turned to horror as he was pierced through and torn to shreds by that overwhelming sword intent.
“叮, Congratulations! Reading ‘Earth-Shattering Sword’ has increased your experience by 80,000.”
After finishing the entire “Earth-Shattering Sword,” all the text flew into the air, transforming into sword intent that merged into Lin Fan’s inner Dao path.
Buzz!
In an instant, Lin Fan sensed a profound transformation in his “Heaven-Sundering Sword”—the ninth sword intent was about to form.
At this moment, Lin Fan entered an indescribably mysterious state, his essence, energy, and spirit reaching their peak.
He recalled every memory he had ever had regarding the sword Dao.
His inner power surged, and a rain of sword intent poured down from the heavens of his inner world.
“Condense!” Lin Fan’s eyes flashed open, unleashing an unprecedented sword intent that erupted from his pupils, piercing through everything, striking across heaven and earth.
“叮, Congratulations! The ninth sword intent of the Heaven-Sundering Sword has been successfully condensed.”
“Unexpected gains indeed. It seems this library is truly a treasure trove for anyone who enters,” Lin Fan realized at that moment the immense value of the Yun Sect’s library.
As long as one’s mind was firm, reading these books could lead to profound insights.
“I wonder why the Yun Sect’s sect leader allowed me to endlessly explore this ocean of books. Could it be because I’m just too handsome?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but think.
Hongyun Fairy had told him that Yun Sect disciples needed to pay a heavy price to access the library, yet he, not even a disciple, could enter freely without any cost.
What exactly was the sect leader thinking?
Unable to figure it out, Lin Fan stopped pondering and continued his reading journey.
Within the library, countless book spirits sensed a new living being had entered—and a powerful one at that.
“This reading speed is too slow. I need to accelerate.”
At that moment, Lin Fan sat cross-legged, his mind expanding outward, his power transforming into countless fine threads, connecting to each book.
This sight left the librarian of the library utterly stunned. He couldn’t believe a human would dare to do such a thing—was he trying to die?
Meanwhile, the powerful books were ecstatic.
“Everyone, attack! This human dares to read like this—it’s practically suicide!”
“Let’s swarm him and confuse his mind!”
At that moment, countless powerful book spirits roared with ferocity, rushing toward Lin Fan through the threads of power.
The librarian furrowed his brows. If the situation turned dangerous, he would intervene immediately to suppress these unruly book spirits.
