Chu Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The Book Pagoda that appeared in front of him was about a hundred feet tall and had a total of nine floors. It covered an area of about ten acres.
From the outside, this Book Pagoda was very grand and majestic, but this Book Pagoda was really too … too broken.
As if it would fall down at any moment!
The magnificent greenish-black stone Pagoda was actually covered with countless cracks of various shapes.
Some of the cracks looked like they were caused by swords and sabers, some looked like they were forcefully clawed out by the claws of some giant beasts, and some looked like they were forcefully torn apart by a person's mighty strength …
Thick, thin, long, and broken cracks spread from the foundation all the way to the top of the Book Pagoda. It looked as if it had been abandoned for a very, very long time, and no one had ever repaired it.
If such a Book Pagoda was seen by mortals in the secular world, it would most likely be regarded as a place for lonely souls and wild ghosts to reside, thus giving rise to many legends of ghosts and gods.
However, although the Book Pagoda was broken beyond recognition, the surroundings of the Book Pagoda were very clean. It looked as if someone had specially come here to clean every day, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as spotless.
What surprised Chu Chen the most was that there was actually a huge totem sculpture on the broken Book Pagoda. That totem was somewhat mottled and blurry due to the passage of time, and couldn't be seen clearly.
However, if one looked closely at its outline, one would discover that it was actually a roaring Golden Winged Roc!!
In fact, the Golden Winged Roc totem was extremely lifelike. Even though it was very mottled now, one could still vaguely feel an astonishing aura of arrogance rushing towards them.
Faintly, one could see a huge golden figure piercing through the sky, as if even the heavens and earth couldn't restrain its figure, and it was about to transcend the entire universe!!
This totem … didn't seem to be casually drawn!
The person who made this totem must have seen the true body of the Golden Winged Roc, which was why he could draw it so lifelike …
In that case, this Book Pagoda should have some kind of relationship with the Golden Winged Roc …
As this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Chen strode into the interior of the book pagoda.
At this moment, there were two disciples cleaning in front of the library. When they saw Chu Chen, they just casually glanced at him, not caring who this guy was.
The moment he stepped into the main hall of the library, an ancient aura filled with the vicissitudes of history assaulted his senses.
As far as the eye could see, the entire library was densely packed with bookshelves that were tens of feet high. The bookshelves were all carved out of black stone, giving off a very steady and heavy feeling.
On the densely packed black stone bookshelves, there were rows upon rows of ancient books, dazzling anyone who looked at them.
There were simply too many books. There were books made of paper, ancient books made of sheepskin, rows of bamboo books, and even jade slips made of stone.
Some of the books were so old that even the books themselves had obvious signs of turning into sand. It was as if they would turn into dust with just a touch.
Some of the books were directly carved out of huge stones. The stones were covered with densely packed ancient characters, exuding a mottled ancient aura.
There was even a huge bookshelf that was filled with pages of ancient metal books carved out of copper paper, exuding a strong spiritual pressure.
Each copper book was like a super powerhouse silently cultivating, as if they could pounce at any time.
Among the many tall and magnificent bookshelves, at the center of the hall, there was a thick black stone throne that stood tall.
Strangely, the rest of the Book Pagoda was spotless, but the black stone throne was covered in dust, as if no one had cleaned it.
Frowning, Chu Chen walked to the stone throne and waved his sleeve, causing a majestic wave of air to burst out, sweeping away the dust on the stone throne.
"Hey … What are you doing?"
Chu Chen was about to sit down, but he saw the eyelids of a disciple who was cleaning. The disciple looked at him with a frown.
Chu Chen smiled, "I'm tired, so of course I'm sitting down to rest. This Book Pagoda is so big, but there's only one place to sit, so I can only sit here."
"This seat is not for just anyone to sit on."
The middle-aged disciple raised his eyelids and said with a warning tone, "Young man, don't take it for granted. If you want to sit on this seat, you must be ready to teach the disciples of our peak."
"Is that so? I'll sit down first. "
Chu Chen nodded his head and sat down directly.
"You … You're the new Senior Brother of our peak, Chu Chen?"
The middle-aged disciple's reaction was not slow. Seeing Chu Chen's aloof appearance, he seemed to have thought of something and shouted in surprise.
Chu Chen nodded faintly with a calm expression. Only the middle-aged disciple who was cleaning carefully sized him up and sighed in disappointment, shaking his head.
To be honest, this ordinary-looking youth who didn't even look twenty years old didn't have the aura of a leader at all.
To let such a person be the Senior Brother … Sigh, the Duxu Peak's talent has already withered to such an extent …
"The Senior Brother has returned!"
Several new disciples walked into the main hall of the Book Pagoda in surprise and saw Chu Chen sitting upright on the black stone seat.
Behind them, the new disciples and the old disciples of the Duxu Peak walked in one after another to participate in the Senior Brother's lesson that hadn't been held in the Duxu Peak for a long time.
As more and more people gathered, the rustling sounds of communication could be heard from the crowd.
It was obvious that many people were curious about this young Senior Brother.
It must be known that the Duxu Peak hadn't had a Senior Brother for a long time. On one hand, no one had the courage, and on the other hand, no one had the strength.
"Is this our Eldest Senior Brother? He's the one who smashed the Ancient Devil Tree halfway up the mountain? "
"It's him. I didn't expect him to be so young. Can such a young person be the Senior Brother? Could it be that he took advantage of the Ancient Devil Tree's old age and found an opportunity to kill it with brute force? "
"How much can such a little brat know? Moreover, I heard that he used some righteous method to defeat the Ancient Devil Tree. Can such a person really understand our Demon Sect's world?"
No matter how the crowd discussed, Chu Chen remained motionless on the black stone seat.
Seeing his indifferent appearance, the group of younger brothers shook their heads.
"Sigh, this young man probably only knows that the title of Senior Brother sounds good. He doesn't know that it's not so easy to be the Senior Brother!"
