If Wen Guang Peak was the core of the Inner Sword Sect, then the core of the Outer Sword Sect was the Thousand Virtues Peak. Regardless of whether it was the Sword Qi Soaring Heaven Pavilion, the Ascension Hall, or the Boao Tower, especially the latter two, they were the places most frequently visited by Foundation Establishment cultivators!
One could imagine what a university library with over twenty thousand university students was like!
The key point was that there were basically no people here who were just idling around! No one would assign you a job, and no one would guarantee your safety. Whether you could stand out or not depended entirely on your own self-awareness.
The Boao Tower was located on the secondary peak of the Thousand Virtues Peak. It was not a single tower, but a cluster of buildings! Otherwise, it would not be able to satisfy the daily needs of over twenty thousand people. Even in the cultivation world, if thousands of people entered and exited a single building at the same time, it would cause a lot of trouble for the manager.
"Fan Tower is isolated, Boao Tower is filled with nine mysteries! Of the nine buildings on the secondary peak of the Thousand Virtues Peak, the most books are over ten thousand, and the least are over three thousand! They are all in the category of middle and low-level disciples. Apart from the Jindan Stage ones that you can't look at, most of the others are in the category of Foundation Establishment. You are qualified to have any of them. There are no restrictions, no conditions, and no price! "
Gu Bei sighed as he looked at the nine buildings in front of him. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.
"This is Xuanyuan! This is the greatest benefit! This is the reason why the cultivators outside are crying and shouting to join!
Someone once estimated that even if you skimmed through all the books here, it would take at least ten years just like reading a historical biography! It's easy to imagine how many scrolls there are here, and how wide the scope is. This is a famous library in the Fifth Ring! "
Lou Xiaoyi keenly understood the meaning behind his words. "Senior Martial Brother means that in the Five Rings, there are even more books than Xuanyuan?"
Gu Bei knew that he had misspoken. He curled his lips and said disdainfully, "En, we can barely be ranked in the top ten in the Five Rings. In front of us are Supreme, Three Pure Ones, Garan, Myriad Scenery, Qimen Dunjia, and so on. They have even more books. I heard that Supreme and Three Pure Ones have more than ten million books in their libraries …
But you don't know, those books are just there to make up the numbers. Only a small number of books are used to make up the numbers. So what if they have a lot of books? If a fight really breaks out, won't they just bow their heads obediently … "
Lou Xiaoyi had long since gotten used to Gu Bei stepping on and praising him. This Gu Bei was hopeless. It was as if Xuanyuan was the center of the Five Rings and the center of the universe. For low-level cultivators, it might not be a problem, but for high-level cultivators to be so arrogant, it might not be a good thing! If everyone in Xuanyuan thought so, then it meant that this sect was going through a period of glory, but it also meant that after the glory, there would be an inevitable decline!
But he would not refute. Everyone had the right to love, and it was obvious that Gu Bei was supported by this love.
"Senior Brother, there has to be an index, right? He couldn't just blindly search through the books one by one, right?
Actually, I feel that things like martial arts and sword arts are more important for quality than quantity. If there are too many, it will make it difficult for one to make a choice. If one's willpower is slightly weaker, wouldn't it be like a bear choosing a stick? "
Gu Bei smiled, "At least you have some knowledge! He even knew that cultivators should abstain from greed! However, even though there are close to a hundred thousand books here and you can choose from every book, the sect has a limit on the number of books you can choose!
With your current status as a new disciple, the limit is one martial art book, three sword arts books, and five other books! Every ten years, there will be another three chances. When you reach a hundred years old, the restrictions will be completely lifted. However, when cultivators reach that age, they all understand the fact that quantity cannot replace quality. Thus, no one will choose more. "
Looking at the nine tall buildings in front of him, Lou Xiaoyi was still a little excited. Gu Bei probably wasn't bragging; no matter what, he would soon be free of the awkwardness of being a cultivator who couldn't cultivate.
"Senior Brother, which building are we going to? I want to choose a martial art book first! Do you have any recommendations? The kind that has quick effects, hurts when hit, and can increase one's power even when sleeping? "Once they were familiar with each other, Senior Brother Gu Bei was a practical person.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. We're already here, what's there to be anxious about? This place is open day and night, so there's plenty of time. However, there are some things that I must explain to you in advance so that you won't waste time. "
The two of them were very relaxed now because they had overcome a crisis and were finally back in a rhythm that they could control. It was not like the awkward situation when they were facing a Nascent Soul True Lord where their lives were in the hands of others.
Gu Bei explained, "Of the nine tall buildings, the first one is called Heaven's Ao Tower. It specializes in storing martial arts books. There are more than five thousand martial arts books, including twenty-three Great Dao martial arts books. There are more than four hundred martial arts books that are derived from Great Dao martial arts books. The rest are self-created by Xuanyuan Swordsman or obtained from other places …"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "I was wondering why there were so many! So there were only twenty-three that were self-created. The other four hundred were copied from Linmo, and the rest were simply snatched from all over the universe … "
These words were very sarcastic, but it was basically the truth. However, in the cultivation world, was snatching martial arts books considered snatching? If they were only counted as self-created martial arts books, Xuanyuan probably wouldn't even have a single one left! It was probably the same for the other sects!
A large collection of martial arts books in the world!
Seeing that Gu Bei didn't say anything, Lou Xiaoyi also knew that this joke was a little too much.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, what you mean is that Xuanyuan disciples only have twenty-three martial arts books to choose from, and the rest are just for reference? When their cultivation deepens in the future, or when they encounter some difficult problem, or when they need to cooperate with a certain sword technique, they can learn the rest? "
Gu Bei sighed. This kid was very talented and smart. With just a few words, he understood a principle that many people couldn't understand even after a few years.
"Exactly! Actually, there are less than twenty-three! Among them, there are a few that can be used with both inner and outer swords. There are seventeen that are completely suitable for outer swords. All of them lead directly to Great Dao, and all of them have their own systems. In other words, after you form your core, there will be a follow-up. After Yuanying, there will be further study, and all the way up until the entire system is complete and complete. There won't be any detours, and it won't be a waste of time. This is the foundation of a large sect!
If it were a small sect, they wouldn't know when their next meal would be after this meal. It would be a waste of time to adjust and find ways to change! "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. "Then what about the other books?"
Gu Beiyi continued, "The second tower is called the Sword Turtle Tower. As the name suggests, it's where sword techniques are stored. It's also the tower with the most collection out of the nine towers. There are more than twelve thousand types of sword techniques here.
Among them, there are more than a thousand that have been passed down from our sect's tradition. There are more than seven thousand that have been refined and improved by the various seniors during their cultivation. There are also more than three thousand that have been collected from all over the world!
These sword techniques are different from cultivation techniques. Often, they're more powerful after being improved! After all, there are countless Swordsman in Xuanyuan, and all of them are extremely talented. Who doesn't have one or two unique skills? If they're presented in the Sword Turtle Tower, they'll also be able to leave a name for themselves in the Swordsman legacy. They can't be changed randomly. They have to go through actual combat and the test of time. Every sword technique has been thoroughly refined, and they strive for perfection!
It's the same for the sword techniques collected from outside. If they're not of sufficient quality or power, they won't be able to enter!
Therefore, among the nine towers of Bo 'ao, the Sword Turtle Tower is the best. You won't be able to find a more profound and extensive collection of sword techniques in the Fifth Ring! "
