Chapter 56: The Seventh Floor of the Library

The next morning, Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. Over the past two days, he had not practiced. Apart from reading books in the library during the day, he spent his evenings in the dormitory familiarizing himself with the use of the holy weapon in his dantian, striving to achieve a state of effortless control over it in the shortest time possible.

After all, although Jianchen had advanced to the rank of a Saint, and the holy weapon in his body was connected to his mind and spirit, this was not enough for him to perfectly master and use the holy weapon. For Jianchen, who had the experience of his previous life, the holy weapons of this world still held a sense of novelty. Without spending a few days to familiarize and accept them, even if the holy weapon in his body was connected to his mind and spirit, Jianchen estimated that he would find it difficult to unleash his peak strength.

He slowly got up from the bed and left the dormitory. After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Jianchen, as usual, went to the library.

Although the library was now open, there was not a single person inside, only a middle-aged woman was cleaning.

Jianchen glanced at the empty library and then directly walked up to the fifth floor. After these days of reading, he had almost finished reading all the books on the first four floors that interested him.

The library had a total of seven floors. The first two floors were open to students below the rank of Saint, the third and fourth floors were open to students who had reached the rank of Saint, and the fifth floor was not open to the public. Only the teachers of the academy could read the books on the fifth floor. The sixth and seventh floors were guarded by powerful barriers, and only the dean and vice-dean could enter to read. For others to enter the seventh floor, they needed the personal approval of the dean of Kagas Academy.

Although the fifth floor of the library was not open to students, Jianchen's first-place achievement in the freshmen martial arts competition was enough to allow him to enter the fifth floor of the library at will.

The space on the fifth floor of the library was not large, and the number of books was not many, totaling only about a hundred. This was incomparable to the thousands of books on the first floor.

However, Jianchen knew that any of these hundred books were far more valuable than all the books he had read before.

The fifth floor of the library was very quiet. Although people rarely came here, Jianchen could see that it was frequently cleaned, making the entire room spotlessly clean.

Jianchen walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book about cultivation, and started reading at a table. The content of the book was entirely about cultivation, and although Jianchen did not know if it would be helpful to him, it at least enriched his knowledge in this area.

Jianchen was completely engrossed in reading, almost to the point of being entranced. Although the content of the book was of little help to him, it broadened his horizons, as if he had completely seen another world of cultivation. These things were something he had never thought of in his previous life.

The book about cultivation was not thick, only a few dozen pages, and Jianchen quickly finished reading it. After finishing, he put the book down, lowered his head, and pondered for a moment to digest and remember the new information in his mind.

After carefully putting the book back in its place, Jianchen picked up another book and started reading. Most of the books on the fifth floor of the library were cultivation insights and techniques left by predecessors, but the highest level of cultivation techniques was only at the initial Earth Rank.

Time flowed silently, and Jianchen read book after book in the fifth floor of the library, completely forgetting about time. At this moment, there were not only Jianchen but also two middle-aged men in the fifth floor, who were clearly teachers of Kagas Academy.

The two middle-aged men clearly recognized Jianchen. When they first saw him, their eyes showed a hint of surprise, but they did not disturb him.

At this moment, an old man in a green, luxurious robe walked up from below. The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a youthful appearance and deep, piercing eyes.

The fifth floor of the library was not large. When the old man entered the fifth floor and was about to go up to the sixth floor via the side stairs, he caught a glimpse of a slightly slender figure out of the corner of his eye.

The old man paused, stopped, and carefully examined the figure. Then, with a smile, he slowly walked behind the person in school uniform, who was slightly slender, and said, "Changyang Xiangtian!"

Hearing the voice, Jianchen was startled awake. When he turned around and saw the old man standing behind him, his face showed a moment of surprise, and he immediately stood up, smiling, "Dean, why are you here?"

This old man was the dean of Kagas Academy.

The dean's voice also startled the other two teachers who were reading. When the two middle-aged men saw the dean, they were immediately surprised and quickly put down their books, standing up from their chairs and bowing slightly, "Greetings, Dean." Their voices were filled with genuine respect.

The dean of Kagas Academy was a prominent figure in the entire Geson Kingdom, not only because he was a powerful Sky Saint Master but also because he was one of the six top experts in the Geson Kingdom.

A Sky Saint Master was a formidable figure even on the Tianyuan Continent.

The dean glanced at the two middle-aged men and waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, continue reading your books."

"Yes, Dean," the two middle-aged men immediately sat back down, but they could no longer concentrate on their books.

The dean glanced at the book in Jianchen's hand and nodded with a smile, his eyes showing a hint of satisfaction, "Changyang Xiangtian, you also like to read these books?"

Jianchen nodded without hesitation, "Yes, from these books, one can learn a lot of knowledge. Even if it doesn't help you, it can broaden your horizons."

Hearing this, the dean's eyes showed more appreciation, "Very good, very good. Changyang Xiangtian, it is indeed rare and precious that you understand this. Since you like reading these books, I will help you. Follow me." With that, the dean turned and walked towards the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

Seeing the direction the dean was heading, Jianchen immediately understood his intention and was overjoyed. He quickly put the book back in its place and followed the dean to the sixth floor of the library.

The two teachers watched Jianchen disappear up the stairs with envious looks. Only the dean and vice-dean had the authority to enter the sixth and seventh floors of the library. For others to enter, they needed the dean's personal approval. The sixth and seventh floors of the library were the most coveted places for all the teachers of Kagas Academy, as they contained higher-level cultivation techniques and a wealth of books on various subjects, as well as records of many spiritual materials and treasures from the Tianyuan Continent.

Soon, Jianchen followed the dean to the entrance of the sixth floor. Here, Jianchen could clearly see a transparent barrier blocking the entrance.

"The barriers on the sixth and seventh floors were set up by the deans of previous generations. They are extremely powerful, and even a Sky Saint Master cannot break them in a short time," the dean said with a hint of pride. He then took out a token made entirely of purple gold, which had very intricate patterns, seemingly forming a picture.

The purple gold token in the dean's hand emitted a faint purple light, which gradually became brighter. Finally, a beam of light shot out from the token and hit the barrier.

The transparent barrier rippled like water, and finally, a large hole appeared in the middle, large enough for a person to pass through.

"Changyang Xiangtian, come in," the dean called, and then walked in directly.

Jianchen followed the dean through the sixth floor of the library and directly went up to the seventh floor. The seventh floor of the library was very spacious, about the size of a room. In the center was a wooden table, and in front of it was a small bookshelf with a dozen or so thin books. Above the bookshelf were two boxes, one made of very precious jade and the other made of purple gold. Each box was very valuable, indicating that the contents were extremely precious.

"Since the founding of Kagas Academy, this library has existed. It has been here for several hundred years. Over these years, although many people have come to the seventh floor of the library, each of them was either a famous expert on the Tianyuan Continent or the leader of a major force. You are the first student of Kagas Academy to enter the seventh floor of the library in several hundred years," the dean said slowly, his tone very calm.

"Changyang Xiangtian, the seventh floor of the library is the treasure trove of our Kagas Academy. The entire seventh floor is surrounded by a powerful barrier, which was set up by our first dean, Buna, with his Saint King-level strength. The items inside have special marks, and as long as the barrier is not broken, they cannot be taken out. The books here are either cultivation techniques collected by Dean Buna or his personal cultivation insights. This is the greatest wealth of our Kagas Academy."

Hearing this, Jianchen's expression became serious. He did not expect the seventh floor of the library to be so important, and he was even more surprised that the first dean of Kagas Academy was a Saint King-level expert.

The dean looked at Jianchen with a serious expression and said, "Changyang Xiangtian, I now, as the dean, grant you permission to read any book except the jade box. You only have this one chance, so I hope you make the most of it."

Jianchen nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Dean."

"The contents of the jade box are not only useless to you now but may even hinder your growth. Therefore, you must not read the contents of the jade box. The purple gold box contains an initial Heaven Rank cultivation technique, the Great Luo Heart Sutra. You can read it at will, but the True Yang Qi, the family treasure of the Changyang family, is not much weaker than the Great Luo Heart Sutra. Therefore, you must not rush to decide which cultivation technique to practice."

"Alright, stay here and read slowly. Remember, this is your only chance to enter the seventh floor of the library, so I hope you cherish it. The barrier at the entrance will only block those entering, but if you want to leave, you can go directly." With that, the dean turned and left, disappearing beyond the barrier of the seventh floor, leaving Jianchen standing there alone.
