Currently on the third floor of the Library Pavilion, with Jiang Feng’s identity, bringing a few items out was no issue, nor would entering the fifth floor be a problem. The weight of the title "True Sword Immortal" is significant anywhere, let alone being the successor to the Peak Master.
With his current status, even a stroll to the sixth floor would likely be overlooked by the retired protector elders; however, Mr. Jiang wasn’t soone insatiable with greed. He understood the reasoning behind "too much to chew."
Strolling leisurely ahead, he exchanged a few polite words with the elderly man sitting by the third-floor stairwell, presented the token from his senior sister, and after leaving his na and personally signing, he could leave, provided he returned it within the allotted ti.
Liang Yu’s behavior was very well-mannered. Though she appeared graceful and generous, in reality, she wasn’t the compliant type. She was rather rebellious and independent, sowhat similar to Liu Tangxi—in fact, resembling much of Swordmaster Peak.
Otherwise, Liu Xianzi wouldn’t have taken a liking to her or worried that this girl wouldn’t understand and went to great lengths to visit Country Liang herself. However, though Liang Yu was rebellious, she never made things difficult for her family and always maintained her identity as a princess, considering the state and her father’s dignity in her manners and conduct.
Jiang Feng simply recorded these two items and chose to leave with Liang Yu. Yet, he didn’t notice the elder’s puzzled and peculiar expression as he left with that plain bamboo tube in hand.
They were naturally aware of the bamboo tube’s origin, but the old man didn’t pay it much heed. Many people, out of curiosity, had perused that bamboo tube, as even he couldn’t decipher the crooked symbols on it.
Stepping out the door, the waves in Jiang Feng’s heart gradually cald.
As early as twenty years ago, he had contemplated the question of his inexplicable arrival in this world of cultivation. Since he could co here, perhaps he wasn’t the only one.
But he didn’t know through what ans or thod such a crossing could be achieved, so after a while, he forgot about it entirely, choosing to integrate wholly into this society.
Now, mories from the past are assaulting him.
Taking several deep breaths, he looked back at the girl diligently examining the bamboo tube in her hands. The reason he so generously allowed her to see it was primarily because he didn’t believe this little girl could recognize the...
"Foreign language, quite rare."
"Pfft!"
He nearly spat it out on the spot.
Staring dumbfounded at the girl behind him, focused on her expression, he nearly bit off his own tongue!
Because the strange carvings on it were, indeed, a foreign language! And precisely the vocabulary he had encountered back in high school.
"You, you... you recognize it?"
He stamred this out shakily.
The barely stabilized spiritual energy almost reversed again against today’s unreal happenings. But on reflection, he was on the land of Jiuzhou, encountering the sa ethnic groups. Although details might differ, they were essentially familiar East Asian faces.
If it were so remote areas or foreigners crossing the ocean to this place, he wouldn’t find it peculiar, but such a string of foreign words... honestly translate, shouldn’t exist in this era.
Regrettably, the little princess shook her head.
"No, I do not recognize it."
"I have rely seen similar things elsewhere. In our Da Liang National Treasury, there is a similar rubbing, though not as complete as the one in senior brother’s hand."
"I could identify it only because of a resemblance to a known script, though they are not identical."
"In the Da Liang National Treasury’s collection, there is a manuscript from a transcendent being. It’s said that this immortal once traveled across Jiuzhou, traversing mountains and oceans, heading east, drifting on the ocean for years with his vast cultivation, and even the immortal himself couldn’t recall how vast that sea was or what lay on the other side."
"In the sea were countless dangers, with various brutal beasts, and peculiarities erging incessantly. It’s said that this immortal docunted no less than a hundred strange demon beasts never before discovered across Jiuzhou, each of extraordinary cultivation, capable of being catastrophic disasters wherever placed in Jiuzhou."
"Eventually, the immortal crossed the sea to reach a mysterious land, and astonishingly, there were indigenous inhabitants. According to the immortal, it was an untad region, sowhat primitive and savage, fair in overall strength but lacking in enlightennt compared to the Central Plains."
"The immortal did not halt his steps, but traversed the land’s other side thoroughly, seeking rare and strange phenona, witnessing diverse local customs, and after years of wandering, he also needed ti to nourish his body."
"About twenty years passed before the immortal, having traversed most regions, chose to embark on his journey ho. Upon returning, he docunted his overseas experiences, fabricating a travelogue, learned many local languages, scripts, and brought back nurous specialties."
"Sadly, heaven is envious of talents."
"And that immortal was from Liang country, his residence situated in a small village about eighty miles from the Capital City, which has now beco a significant town in our country, thanks to the immortal. Even our Liang Royal Family’s ancestors benefited considerably from him."
"I compared the two scripts slightly—they differ, but the traces are close, not overlapping like our script, but a left-to-right writing style, forming words with dense symbols, then forming sentences with these words."
"This intricate, redundant script should be foreign; deciphering its aning would be challenging, as there’s no reference material now."
"If I recall correctly, this item should be a great secret of Purple Cloud Palace, no, the entire Cultivation World. Though I’d never seen it, grandpa ntioned an Immortal Monarch once recorded sothing with his life."
"In the end, that Immortal Monarch not only perished but beca insane, leaving strange symbols that no one could decipher to this day. I don’t know if there’s any connection between these two transcendent beings or if they are the sa, given the ti elapsed."
"But our royal ancestors were once affluent and could glimpse a bit of its nature. Though precious, it was hailed as the greatest secret in the cultivation world, yet the issue lies in its unresolved mystery over millennia."
"No secret retains value when uncrackable; perhaps because of this, it was simply placed in the Library Pavilion."
Unknowingly, the two stood at the foot of Swordmaster Peak.
Flying from the main peak to Swordmaster Peak was rely a quarter-hour journey, and the little princess’s previous remarks left Mr. Jiang speechless.
Rendered silent.
Amid a thousand words, he uttered just two.
"Aweso."
He truly admired this newly admitted younger sister.
Her logic was clear, her sentences precise, encompassing both her observations and knowledge, ancient legends intertwined with her analyses and conjectures. Even without cultivation, with such knowledge and ability at her age, her future prospects seed boundless.
