The Terpsichore Compendium Pavilion of the Terpsichore School was tall and majestic, and it stood out in the silent night.
After a few breaths, Zhang Xuan landed on a big tree in the courtyard.
"The academy's Compendium Pavilion requires a student token and academic credits. Otherwise, you won't be able to enter at all …"
He scratched his head.
Zhang Xuan thought that he would be able to enter the library and browse through the books discreetly. However, upon arriving at the library, he realized that that wasn't the case at all.
Just like the Ocean of Weapons, the academy's Compendium Pavilion required a student token and Academic Credits to open. Zhang Xuan didn't have either of those, so it was unlikely that he would be able to enter the Compendium Pavilion.
If he were to barge in forcefully, he might trigger the mechanism and attract the attention of the academy's elders, which would be troublesome.
"We can't … come here and then turn back, right?"
He felt helpless.
Since he was already here, it would be inexcusable for him to return empty-handed.
"Right, while the mechanisms and formations in the Compendium Pavilion are useful to cultivators, what about soul oracles? Is it possible for the intangible substance of the Primordial Spirit to enter it? "
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
There were formations and mechanisms in the Compendium Pavilion that verified one's Academic Credits and student token. On the other hand, soul oracles were intangible entities, so it was unlikely for them to be classified as such.
In the past, even if he could move his soul, he would still have to touch the books in order to store them into the Library of Heaven's Path. But now, he only had to look at them … In other words, he could store books into his Library of Heaven's Path with just his soul alone!
"Give it a try!"
The more Zhang Xuan thought about it, the more agitated he became. He quickly hid his body in the dense foliage before drawing his soul out.
In the dark night, it was like a ghost, slowly floating down.
The doors of the library were tightly shut. In a room not far away, a few students were standing guard.
Just as he was thinking about how to get in, he heard footsteps behind him, and a figure slowly walked over.
Thus, Zhang Xuan hid his Primordial Spirit by the side.
"Seniors, I wish to enter the library to look up some information!" The silhouette walked up to the few students guarding the library and bowed.
She was a lady in her thirties, and the great teacher emblem pinned on her chest had five dazzling stars.
A 5-star low-tier master teacher, most likely a Grade-2 student.
"Student ID, credits!" A senior in charge of the Compendium Pavilion raised his eyelids.
These people were probably working part-time, guarding the library to earn credits.
"Yes!" The student handed over his certificate and credit card.
A moment later, the senior nodded. "You are a second-year student, so you can only read books below third-year. Once you cross the line, you will be immediately chased out. Also, you can use one credit to search for twenty hours. You are not allowed to take out the books or copy them! "
"Yes!" The student nodded.
She had long understood these rules.
"Alright, let's go in!"
After explaining the rules, the senior waved his hand, and the student walked forward with his student ID and credit card. He placed the two items on the stone platform in front of the door, and with a creak, the door to the library slowly opened.
"Good chance!"
Knowing that someone had entered, this was an opportunity for Zhang Xuan to enter as well. Without any hesitation, he followed closely behind Zhang Xuan with his Primordial Spirit and dived in as well.
After entering the door, a spacious hall immediately appeared in front of them. There were all kinds of luminous pearls hanging on the walls, illuminating the interior as brightly as if it were daytime.
Row after row of bookshelves lined up before him, and there were countless books on them.
"As expected of the Master Teacher Academy, it sure has a vast collection of books …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Terpsichore was one of the more obscure occupations in the Master Teacher Academy. Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be many books on terpsichore. However, this was the Master Teacher Academy, and every single one of them was a master teacher. Every single one of them had their own views on the subject, and as time went by, the number of books on terpsichore had naturally increased.
"I should start collecting them first. I'll look through them later on …"
Knowing that it would be troublesome for him to search for the soul cultivation technique manuals, Zhang Xuan walked over to the very beginning of the bookshelf and focused his gaze on it.
"Flaws!"
Zhang Xuan muttered in his mind, and he immediately felt the books being copied into the Library of Heaven's Path.
His eyes were like a scanner. Once he looked over, he would be able to record everything. His speed was indeed several times faster than his previous sprinting.
"This is great …"
With a gleam in his eyes, Zhang Xuan focused his attention.
Hualala!
Countless books flickered in the air, and the bookshelves in the Library of Heaven's Path were filled up one after another.
Four hours later, Zhang Xuan had finished browsing through all of the books on the bookshelves in the Library of Heaven's Path, and a corresponding book had been formed in his Primordial Spirit.
"Time to head to the second floor …"
After browsing through the first floor, Zhang Xuan headed to the second floor.
There were significantly fewer books on the second floor than on the first floor, but the content was of a higher tier.
Just like apothecaries and blacksmiths, terpsichores were also divided into Nine Stars. The first floor contained the content for apprentice terpsichores to 4-star pinnacle, and the second floor contained the content for 5-star low-tier terpsichores.
Zhang Xuan didn't turn down any of them. He walked along the bookshelf and browsed through the books one by one.
Two hours later, he finally finished collecting all of the books on the second floor.
"Continue …"
Knowing that it wasn't easy for him to come to the Terpsichore School, he would be letting himself down if he didn't browse through more books, so he hurriedly headed to the third floor.
Under normal circumstances, Grade-1 students would only be able to browse through the books on the first and second floors. This was a barrier set up by the academy in order to prevent students from biting off more than they could chew.
However, while it was easy for the barrier to stop students, it would be much more difficult for it to stop a soul. With a thought, Zhang Xuan's soul morphed into a stream and passed through the barrier.
The books on the third floor were even rarer, so it only took him an hour to finish browsing through them.
Following which was the fourth floor, fifth floor, and sixth floor.
It didn't take long for him to imprint all of the books on the sixth floor into his mind, and the last three floors only took him two hours.
In other words, in less than ten hours, he had already collected all of the books in the Terpsichore School's library.
I should check them carefully when I return!
Zhang Xuan smiled in satisfaction.
He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to visit the Terpsichore School to browse through the books, but who could have known that he would be able to do so just by following Hu Yaoyao?
Furthermore, with this experience, would he be able to do the same when he entered the other academies in the future?
If that's the case, I should be able to finish browsing through all of the books in the ten academies within ten days. By then … I should be able to push for a breakthrough to Saint realm and leave this place!
Zhang Xuan's eyes glowed in excitement.
As long as he had sufficient books and sufficient Heaven's Path Divine Art manuals, advancing his cultivation would be as easy as drinking water.
His main purpose in coming to the Master Teacher Academy was to browse through books, and after his breakthrough in the Library of Heaven's Path, his soul would be able to do so as well.
Even if he didn't have any Academic Credits, it wouldn't matter.
With this, he would be able to browse through all of the books in ten days and compile them into a Heaven's Path Divine Art to achieve a breakthrough!
To advance from Cosmos Bridge realm to Perfect Harmonization realm, Ethereal Treading realm, Chrysalis realm, Half-Saint, Nascent Saint, and Saint realm within ten days … On top of that, he would have to learn all ten occupations and reach 6-star pinnacle …
Just the thought of it was exhilarating.
Let me try out terpsichorean arts first …
Knowing that this was just a figment of his imagination, Zhang Xuan smiled as he focused his attention on his Library of Heaven's Path.
Hu!
Brand new Heaven's Path Terpsichore Art manuals appeared before his eyes.
There was a total of six books.
They represented the ranks from 1-star to 6-star.
"Books about the soul!"
Taking a look outside, Zhang Xuan realized that it was already dawn, and there wasn't enough time for him to study. Thus, he could only turn his attention to the other books on the shelves.
Huala!
With a thought, all of the books on soul cultivation gathered together.
"Correct!"
Muttering, a brand new book materialized in the air.
Knowing that this would determine whether he would be able to suppress the Innate Fetal Poison in his soul, Zhang Xuan suppressed his agitation and hurriedly flipped through the books.
Soon, he was done.
Zhang Xuan's complexion turned awful.
These are only soul strengthening techniques, and they aren't complete either. They won't be of much use against the Innate Fetal Poison …
While the Heaven's Path Terpsichore Art manuals could strengthen one's soul, they weren't sufficient to deal with the Innate Fetal Poison.
In other words, after an entire night of effort, he still hadn't found a way to deal with the Innate Fetal Poison.
What should I do?
Zhang Xuan frowned.
What he needed to do at the moment wasn't to strengthen his soul but to suppress the Innate Fetal Poison. Otherwise, if the Innate Fetal Poison were to cause a ruckus, he might just die without even knowing how he died.
He had thought that terpsichores had a deep understanding of souls, and he would be able to find a way to deal with the Innate Fetal Poison here. But from the looks of it, he was still too naive.
If the Innate Fetal Poison could be dealt with that easily, Empyrean Kong Shi would have surely found a way earlier than him. At the very least, he wouldn't have had to reach Nine Stars to resolve it completely.
"These methods can increase the strength of one's soul energy. Let's see if I can incorporate them into my soul cultivation technique!"
These books weren't systematic enough to form a Heaven's Path cultivation technique yet. However, since he had obtained the Transcendent Mortal 1-dan to 9-dan soul cultivation technique from Mo Hunsheng back then, he wanted to see if he could fuse them together to form a Heaven's Path cultivation technique.
Previously, the Heaven's Path cultivation technique had only reached Consonant Spirit realm, so his soul cultivation had only reached Consonant Spirit realm. Since he had found so many books, he might as well try fusing them together.
"Correct!"
Zhang Xuan placed these books together with the Heaven's Path cultivation technique.
Zhang Xuan exclaimed softly.
Hula!
Two books appeared before him, and he hurriedly grabbed them and flipped through them.
"The Cosmos Bridge realm and Perfect Harmonization realm soul cultivation technique manuals are flawless. They have reached the Heaven's Path realm!"
After browsing through them, Zhang Xuan nearly burst into laughter in excitement.
He had thought that he would be empty-handed, but who could have thought that he would be able to form a Heaven's Path cultivation technique manuals together with the Heaven's Path cultivation technique manuals?
He had already gathered the Cosmos Bridge realm and Perfect Harmonization realm soul cultivation technique manuals.
With these two books, he could easily push his soul cultivation to Perfect Harmonization realm, thus raising his fighting prowess significantly.
Even though the increase in his soul cultivation wasn't sufficient to resolve the Innate Fetal Poison, it would at least be able to curb it.
"Alright, it's already daybreak. It's about time for me to return …"
After finishing all of this, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze to the horizon once more and saw the sun rising in the east.
