Chapter 10

After leaving the arena and shaking off the纠缠不休的师兄弟 and the 小师妹 who clung to him like an octopus, the first thing Li Chun did was to quickly find a secluded place, enter the sea of consciousness, and check the situation in the Langhuan Jade Library.

In critical moments, the Langhuan Jade was still reliable, giving him a resounding victory at the last second. However, at the time, things were rushed, and he barely understood what the gatekeeper boy said. He hastily asked for a set of sword techniques without really knowing what was going on.

Now that he had the time, he naturally wanted to ask quickly.

Fortunately, the white jade gate was still half-open, and the boy was lazily sitting at the entrance, basking in the sun. Seeing Li Chun approach, he made no move to get up or acknowledge him.

"Ahem, little friend..."

The boy glared at him, and Li Chun felt the term was inappropriate. After some thought, he tried again, "Little brother..."

"Don't call me randomly!"

The boy's face turned angry, and he exhaled two streams of cold air from his nose.

"Little sir..."

Li Chun adapted and corrected the term for the third time, but the boy still seemed unsatisfied.

He extended his tender little hand and counted on his fingers, "I am already 1,326 years old. Even if you don't call me ancestor, you should at least respectfully call me senior. I'll tell you, although you are a descendant of the Sword Sect, the Langhuan Jade Library is now under my control. If you want to..."

"Senior! Senior, hello!"

Li Chun didn't wait for him to finish, his eyes shining brightly as he bowed respectfully and enthusiastically called out "senior." The warmth in his voice startled the boy.

It was just a term, but once he heard that the Langhuan Jade Library was under the control of this boy, thinking of the countless exquisite sword techniques inside, Li Chun's heart burned with enthusiasm, and he called "senior" willingly.

If the boy was really 1,326 years old, calling him "senior" was only right and wouldn't be a loss.

"People without shame are invincible..."

The boy sighed and immediately drew a conclusion.

Since Li Chun's attitude was so good, he naturally had no reason to be difficult, but he still frowned and looked at him for a moment.

"Your divine power is gone. Why are you here? The only chance is to come to me on the night of the full moon to try your luck and get a secret manual..."

Li Chun was confused, "Wait, wait, wait, senior, can you give me a brief introduction first? I don't understand what's going on with the Langhuan Jade Library."

"Really stupid!"

The boy shook his head, looked at him with disdain, but ultimately fulfilled his duty as the library keeper and began to explain the current state of the Langhuan Jade Library.

In the original world, the Langhuan Jade Library could be fully open, with countless sword techniques available for Li Chun to use freely.

However, for some reason, after the Langhuan Jade followed Li Chun to the Mitan world, the changes in the world's laws caused subtle changes in the records and cultivation methods of the secret manuals.

"A small error can lead to a huge mistake, do you understand? If a high-level martial art is practiced incorrectly..."

"Bang!"

The boy clapped his hands and made an explosive sound, scaring Li Chun into nodding repeatedly.

The changes in the world's laws, although not significant, were enough to turn a previously exquisite secret manual into a tool that could lead to one's downfall.

Practicing to the point of exploding and dying was not an unexpected outcome.

Fortunately, the inheritance of the Sword Sect was not that simple. The Langhuan Jade would gradually correct the deviations in the secret manuals according to the rules of this world.

"That's a relief..." Li Chun sighed in relief and patted his chest.

"However, the number of secret manuals in the Langhuan Jade is vast. It will take about a hundred thousand years to correct them all. When that happens, the Langhuan Jade Library will be fully open, and you can practice whatever you want. I won't interfere..."

"A hundred thousand years, my bones will be ashes by then! What's the point of practicing then!"

Li Chun grumbled inwardly but didn't dare to be disrespectful. He smiled and asked, "Then what did you mean by divine power and the full moon night, senior?"

"These are the two key points!"

The boy wiggled his fingers, "First, to speed up the correction of these secret manuals, you need the divine power of this world. Divine power represents the laws of the world. With divine power, the corrections to the sword techniques that are different from this world can be made quickly..."

"Second, the essence of moonlight is the foundation of the Langhuan Jade's power. On the night of the full moon, the power of the moonlight increases, and the Langhuan Jade can take this opportunity to correct one secret manual. However, this is completely a matter of luck, and no one knows which sword technique will be corrected. You can come to me to get it when the time comes..."

"I see!"

Li Chun suddenly understood, "So during the two-school sword competition, the Langhuan Jade Library opened because I provided divine power?"

During the two-school sword competition, Li Chun inadvertently provided a tiny bit of divine power from this world to the Langhuan Jade, which opened the gate and earned him a set of sword techniques—though this also completely depleted the divine power he had obtained.

He slapped his head, his face turning pale.

"But where did I get this divine power from?"

"How should I know?"

The boy rolled his eyes and yawned, "I'm going to sleep now. Come back when you have divine power or on the night of the full moon!"

"Wait..."

Li Chun wanted to ask more, but the boy twisted his body, entered the white jade gate, and slammed it shut.

"I haven't even asked for your name, senior..."

Li Chun muttered, frowned, and left the Langhuan Jade Library, exiting his sea of consciousness.

In the Mitan world, there were gods, and not only gods, but also divine manifestations that were closely related to the lives of ordinary people.

Most people had faith.

Merchants worshiped the god of wealth, warriors worshiped the god of war, farmers naturally worshiped the god of agriculture, and even the girls in the brothels had a chicken god to worship.

Divine power permeated the world, and gods with many believers had temples in cities where followers could worship and make offerings. Sometimes, by sensing the divine, they could receive divine protection.

But Li Chun was still an unbeliever.

After living in a technologically advanced era on Earth for so long, he might be curious about gods, but it was difficult for him to fully devote himself to worship. Recently, he hadn't donated to any temples—such a stingy person would probably not donate even a copper coin unless he was sure of a return.

So it was even more puzzling why he would mysteriously obtain divine power.

"Could it be... that pearl?"
