It was supposed to be a test, but it turned into a fierce battle.
The funniest thing was that the black-robed old woman and the purple-robed old man were no match for Ji Tianxing even after joining forces.
On the surface, it seemed like the two elders were the ones being tested.
Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, was in the dominant position and seemed to be at ease.
The two sides fought for 15 minutes and exchanged thousands of blows before the battle finally ended.
It didn't end because there was a winner.
It was because Ji Tianxing had broken the alternate dimension and dispelled the boundless darkness.
As early as the two sides had exchanged more than ten moves, it was already clear who was superior and who was inferior.
However, the two elders resisted desperately. No matter how badly they were injured, they gritted their teeth and held on.
They even changed their strategy and didn't take the initiative to attack. Instead, they circled around and stalled for time.
They were destined to lose, but at least it wouldn't be so humiliating if they could drag it out longer.
Losing to Ji Tianxing within ten breaths and losing to Ji Tianxing within 15 minutes were two completely different concepts.
The former represented a huge gap between them and being defeated instantly. The latter meant that they were evenly matched and only lost after a long battle.
Ji Tianxing also understood this point, so he wasn't in a hurry to defeat the two elders.
While he was fighting with the two Cabinet Elders, he paid more attention to observing the alternate dimension and thinking about how to break it.
After all, he didn't have any deep grudges with the two elders. There was no need to be so ruthless. He could give them a way out.
Moreover, he was being tested by the two elders.
He still had to read the information in the library later. It wouldn't be good if he really became enemies with the two elders.
Reality proved that this move was very effective.
Swoosh!
White light flashed and the alternate dimension shattered. The boundless darkness quickly dissipated.
Ji Tianxing and the two elders appeared in a clean and bright hall.
The white jade floor was spotless. Thousands of gems were inlaid in the corners and ceiling, emitting a bright divine light.
There were bookshelves all around. On top of them were many treasure boxes containing history books and classics.
Each treasure box was very sturdy and protected by a divine array.
Not only could it protect the books from moisture and dust, but it could also prevent them from aging due to the erosion of time.
Rows and rows of bookshelves crisscrossed each other. Even the surrounding walls had many hidden compartments that stored all kinds of books.
Ji Tianxing and the two cabinet elders appeared in the middle of the hall.
The area around the three of them was empty, and the ground was engraved with a profound diagram of a divine array.
Clearly, this was the formation to open the alternate dimension.
Although he had just gone through a great battle, Ji Tianxing was still calm and composed as he calmly observed his surroundings.
The two Pavilion Elders, on the other hand, were staggering. They were in a sorry state and were panting heavily.
Their black and purple robes had become ragged, their long hair was even more disheveled, and their bodies were covered in blood.
Their divine power, in particular, was fluctuating violently. Their strength was extremely weak.
"Huff … Huff …" The skinny purple-robed old man didn't care about his image in the slightest as he slumped to the ground and gasped for breath.
Not only was he not angry, but he also did not feel humiliated. He even laughed heartily.
"Hahaha … It's been a long time since I fought with all my might like today … This feels so good!"
No one would have thought that this unprepossessing and shriveled old man was actually a battle maniac.
In fact, before he guarded the library, he was once the Great Yan Empire's vanguard marshal. He had a lifetime of brilliant military achievements and was famous for his fighting prowess.
However, he was entrusted by the previous Great Yan Emperor to guard the library.
For the past few thousand years, he had always stayed in the dark and had never left the library.
His sharpness and edges were gradually smoothed out. However, the passion in his heart for battle had never been extinguished.
Today's battle had ignited his former lofty sentiments and hot-bloodedness.
Even if he was defeated, even if he was seriously injured, he still felt satisfied and satisfied.
On the other side, the black-robed old woman's body was even more bent. She leaned on her walking stick and coughed non-stop. Blood kept flowing out from under her crooked black iron mask.
She circulated her energy to suppress her injuries as she pointed at Ji Tianxing. Her voice was hoarse and intermittent as she said, "Good lad! You're really ruthless. I've underestimated you!
Although we fought with you for a few thousand moves before we were defeated.
But after so many years, you're the first one to defeat us. You do have some ability! "
The black-robed old woman was impressed and shocked by Ji Tianxing.
However, she was a senior who had been famous for too long. How could she admit defeat so easily?
It was already very rare for her to admit that Ji Tianxing was extraordinary.
Ji Tianxing was not arrogant. He cupped his fists at the two pavilion elders and said with a smile, "Pavilion elders, thank you for letting me win!
Thank you for painstakingly setting up this test.
Now, I've passed your test, right? "
The black-robed old woman snorted and said angrily, "Lad, don't take it for granted!
Although you're very strong, we were once the top ten seniors of the empire.
It's just that we've been guarding this shabby library for the past few thousand years and neglected our cultivation and fighting. Otherwise, how could you have won? "
Ji Tianxing just smiled and did not reply.
The purple-robed old man panted twice and waved his hand at him, saying, "Lad, we're guarding the first floor of the library. You've passed our test.
You can look through all the books on this floor.
However, you can't take away any of the books here, even if it's a piece of paper. You can't damage it! "
Ji Tianxing cupped his fists at him and said, "Many thanks."
Then, he walked to the nearest bookshelf and reached out to pick up a treasure box, taking out the ancient books and records inside.
He did not use his hands to pick up the ancient books. He let all the books float in the air in front of him.
Then he released his divine sense and quickly scanned these ancient books to read the contents inside.
He had been searching for information and clues related to the God Realm's turmoil a thousand years ago.
However, he used his divine sense to scan hundreds of ancient books and did not find any relevant clues.
The ancient books on this bookshelf recorded the history of ten thousand years ago.
Hence, he finished reading the books on this bookshelf and walked to the second bookshelf.
The hall fell into silence.
Ji Tianxing focused on reading the ancient books and records. The two cabinet elders hid in the darkness and silently healed their injuries.
Time passed silently.
Four hours, ten hours, sixteen hours ….
One day passed.
Ji Tianxing read the books very quickly. In just one day, he had read about eighty percent of the books in the hall.
One must know that there were hundreds of bookshelves in the hall and thousands of secret compartments in the walls.
There were more than fifty thousand books in this hall. All of them were precious ancient books and information. The number of words was as vast as the sea.
Ji Tianxing was about to finish reading all the books in the hall, but he still did not find the answer.
At this time, the purple-robed old man stabilized his injuries and quietly came behind him.
He stopped to observe him for a moment and asked, "Lad, what book are you looking for?"
