"I see …"
Old Head Li thought of Zhong Shenxiu's performance and couldn't help but believe it. "In terms of translation, accuracy, elegance … Great Master has indeed surpassed us by more than a level. It's just that the more you look at these Great Dao documents, the more dangerous it is."
He tactfully said a few words. Seeing Zhong Shenxiu's resolute expression, he finally brought him to a bookshelf.
"The books here should be what you need, but you must be careful."
Old Li warned him and watched silently from the side.
Chung Shen-soo even felt some inexplicable power spying on this place and suppressing the evilness of some secret books.
This was a necessary arrangement of the Tide-listening Pavilion. Otherwise, the second floor would have been full of demons and devils.
After all, the books of this world must have their own power!
Chung Shen-soo looked at the bookshelf and saw some scattered ancient books on it. There were about a dozen books, some of which were simple and unadorned, and some were very modern. They were probably written by later generations.
At the bottom of the bookshelf, there were some sporadic pages, all of which carried a deep aura.
"Honored guest, please choose as you please."
Old Li said with a smile.
Deciphering the text of the Grand Dao was a very exhausting process. Even the best decoder could translate one page a day.
Even when encountering an Earth Sect book, it was normal for several generations to translate one page after dozens of years.
Therefore, he wasn't afraid that Chung Shen-soo would cheat him.
"Unfortunately, you don't know that I don't have a single banknote on me. I'm here to freeload!"
On the way here, Chung Shen-soo had heard from Jiang Kun that the currency used in the cultivation world wasn't silver dollars, but 'banknotes' issued by the Zhengyi Sect.
However, he didn't have a single banknote on him …
Chung Shen-soo randomly picked up a book with a purple cover that seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin and opened the first page.
"This is the Xuan Sect's ancient book, the Book of Ling Xuan. It talks about a cultivator's experience of dream-walking somewhere."
Old Li introduced it to him.
But Chung Shen-soo glanced at it and chanted in his heart,
"I see myself as if I've entered a realm. Above me are the Three Heavenly Imperial Palace Origin Palaces, and below me are the Seven Soul Camps. In the middle, I see the Five Metal Men … Those who use their souls to capture souls …"
"This seems to be a cultivation method. It compares one's body to a vast world, and all kinds of experiences and experiences are the cultivation method. At the end of cultivation, one can become a spirit demon … a kind of dream creature that feeds on dreams."
Chung Shen-soo glanced at Old Li. He had long guessed that these decoders were unreliable, but he didn't expect that they would even get the classification wrong from a random book.
"Wait … this seems to be a loophole, but it's useless to me."
He looked at the other books and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The Tide-listening Pavilion had an undeserved reputation. They had actually gotten half of the classification wrong!
"From this, it can be seen that the books and cultivation methods translated by these decoders are also full of mistakes. Those who dare to cultivate are true warriors."
With a hint of disappointment, Chung Shen-soo looked at the center of the bookshelf.
There was a black ancient book there, its surface bound by layers of thin silver chains.
"You don't like it?"
Old Li didn't realize that he had already been taken advantage of. Instead, he was laughing at Chung Shen-soo's hasty glance. He probably didn't even translate the name of the ancient book.
But he didn't know that the other party had a photographic memory and remembered it after reading it once.
"What is this ancient book? Why is it sealed? "
Chung Shen-soo asked curiously.
"This book …"
Old Li's expression changed. "This book belongs to the Earth Division. It is an ancient book that our pavilion collected from overseas … Back then, in order to translate a name, six decoders unfortunately went mad or lost their lives … But in the end, it was verified that it was only a book called 'Strange Tales'. There was no cultivation method in it, but the level involved was too high. There were even some taboo names of mighty figures. Once they were recited, they would explode to death … We only discovered the danger later, and in the end, we lost more than ten decoders …"
"Indeed, it was written by a mighty figure …"
Chung Shen-soo sensed carefully and realized that this black ancient book was indeed extraordinary. The author was probably comparable to the Undead Immortal Fang Lang.
"I would like to take a look. How about it?"
"Of course, but if something happens to the esteemed guest, it can't be blamed on our pavilion."
"Of course!"
Chung Shen-soo agreed immediately. He saw Old Li take out a talisman, light it, and place it on the bookshelf.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The silver chains were like small snakes that had a life of their own, automatically retreating.
Chung Shen-soo picked up this black ancient book and stroked it with his finger. He felt a slight tingling sensation.
A cold aura wanted to spread through the book, carrying curses of misfortune, weakness, disease, and so on.
But under the Undead Immortal status, all these disappeared without a trace.
When Chung Shen-soo saw the cover, he could not help but laugh.
This time, the decoders did not translate wrongly. This was indeed a book called 'Strange Tales'.
He casually flipped it open and saw a line of Dao words that turned into a powerful consciousness attack and entered Fang Lang's sea of consciousness.
Whoosh!
Fang Lang's sea of consciousness trembled slightly. Then, this wave of attack was like waves hitting a reef, collapsing with a loud bang. Traces of information emerged.
[There are nine realms in the Mystic Cultivation. After the nine realms, the Daoists call them 'Great Sage', while the demons call them 'Great Inauspicious'!]
[There are Ten Evils in the world. When they appear, there will be chaos in the world. They are demons, great demons, disasters, and disasters …]
[One of the Ten Evils, Dagon of the East Sea, also known as the Son of Disaster and the Lord of Sea Monsters. He lives in the Court of Hidden Dragons. When he moves, there will be storms and thunder, and ships will capsize …]
[Two of the Ten Evils, Elephant Lord of the Daye Pond, also known as the Lord of the Mountains and the King of the Mountains. He is ten thousand feet tall, and when he moves, there will be disasters …]
...
"The author of this book should be a powerful cultivator. He even counted the demons in the world and divided them into different types …"
"I've also found the reason why this book is so dangerous."
"Great inauspicious demons such as Dagon and Elephant Lord already have the ability to sense. Their true names are actually written here. Once a cultivator recites it, they will definitely sense it. Isn't this courting death?"
"However, it's a little unfair to say that it's not a cultivation book. After all, there are so many true names … If I really succeed in the sacrifice by accident, I can also obtain a mystical ability and reach the heavens in a single step. I just don't know what price I have to pay. Perhaps my body will mutate, or my mind will mutate, or both at the same time?"
Chung Shen-soo quickly flipped the page. In Old Li's opinion, it was a waste of effort.
However, he did not know that Chung Shen-soo was forcibly memorizing all the contents of the secret book.
He read ten lines at a glance and was not worried about pollution. Soon, he reached the last page.
On this page, there was a prophecy written in blood:
"The source of great inauspiciousness is … the Supreme!"
"The Supreme is indescribable, indescribable, and unimaginable. If you think about it, you will be wrong, and if you think about it, you will be absurd …"
"When the Supreme appears, the world will be in turmoil!"
