Since Wang Qi concealed his Golden Core, unless soone forcibly scans him with Spiritual Sense, anyone would perceive him as a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, entirely unable to sense his Golden Core.
However, if soone foolishly attempts to forcibly scan Wang Qi's body using Spiritual Sense, it's not Wang Qi who would be in trouble.
If soone tries to channel Mana into Wang Qi's body, the first thing they'd encounter is Wang Qi's Mana. Wang Qi has long achieved Unity of My thod, where Mana is one of the thinking organs, blending consciousness and Mana. Moreover, he pioneered the Dataized Cultivation thod, capable of manipulating the Spirit Sense within Mana, and understands the Heart Demon Curse. Sending Spiritual Sense into him is akin to sending the Divine Plague Curse into one's own mouth.
Of course, the Spirit Sense carried within Wang Qi's Mana is one of the foundations of his own cultivation and naturally isn't overly destructive. However, even a low-intensity Divine Plague Curse isn't sothing ordinary cultivators can endure.
Back then, even Zhao Qingfeng, who reincarnated as an Immortal, and i Gemu, who awakened a second ti, couldn't withstand the outbreak of the Heart Demon Curse and were almost tortured to death by Feng Luoyi and Wang Qi.
Even Immortals are like this, let alone the ordinary cultivators of the Mortal World.
These are high-level cultivators.
The Spiritual Sense of ordinary cultivators can't even touch Wang Qi, disrupted by the interference of Wang Qi's power. At most, they can see only what Wang Qi allows them to see.
At this mont, in the eyes of those in the Heavenly Book Tower, Wang Qi is unmistakably a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Wang Qi wrote so talismans according to the average level of Ancient thod Foundation Establishnt cultivators. However, deliberately controlling his skill, the success rate of those talismans was very low, with most collapsing after one or two rounds.
This performance made the cultivator at the Golden Core Stage secretly shake his head. He had been advised by a senior to teach more of the Talismanic Technique here, to cultivate talent in talisman writing, which would be of great use. But this unfamiliar fellow's success rate in talisman painting was too poor—even though he had Foundation Establishnt Perfection!
After putting down his pen, Wang Qi left the Copper Bell Academy. He then continued to roam around with a scroll in hand.
In fact, he had already morized the cultivators' constant writing of talismans and was replaying them in his mind.
As Wang Qi walked through the Copper Bell Academy, he was also mapping its structure, recreating it in his mind and deducing the parts with magical significance based on general architectural principles.
Even though he was using his mind in three ways, Wang Qi's deduction speed was still fast. Part of his consciousness was still connected to the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, which, through Wang Qi's several efforts, now had computation power comparable to high-order calculators.
Zhen Chan suddenly reminded, "Watch out for the tail behind you."
"I know." Wang Qi nodded.
For so unknown reason, a cultivator at Foundation Establishnt Perfection was quietly following him.
Wang Qi glanced around, confirming there were no other accomplices of this cultivator around, nor sensing the probe of other high-level cultivators, he once again unleashed his Illusion Technique.
...
Xiao Jingze originally just wanted to teach the fellow who took his place during Senior Brother Chen Dao's explanation of talismans a lesson. He's not a bad person, just a bit petty. That unfamiliar cultivator grabbing a spot before him ant retaliating.
But his vision suddenly blurred, and he realized he had lost track of the other party.
Then he lost consciousness.
Wang Qi humd a tune, stripped the coat and storage bag off this cultivator, rewrote the Soul Lamp Law according to standard procedures following the connection between souls, and also tainted the token-type and scroll-type magic artifacts. Then he switched identities and headed toward Tianying Academy.
"Xiao Jingze, an Outer Disciple. That's alright. Why was he following ?" Wang Qi was sowhat puzzled, "I shouldn't have revealed any flaws, right?"
Since the Holy Emperor Venerable is present, Zhen Chan couldn't extend his Spiritual Sense and could only rely on Wang Qi's shared senses, which ant he generally didn't know what Wang Qi missed. He said, "Perhaps you unintentionally offended soone? In such shabby sects, there are many taboos, which can easily lead to situations like this."
Wang Qi nodded. The person didn't call for help, so he probably wasn't suspicious of him. Wang Qi put this trivial matter to the back of his mind and continued to roam the Heavenly Book Tower.
Tianying Academy's scenes are similar to those of Copper Bell Academy, a school-like setting. However, this side is paved with bluestone, and the patterns on the ground resemble natural paintings. Here, too, is a place where talismans are taught. However, the talismans taught here are a bit different.
"Tianying Academy… I rember they are skilled in painting," Zhen Chan analyzed, "In the talismans they imitate, besides their own created thods and the Holy Virtue thod Seal being the sa, the Cloud Seal has been replaced with sothing closer to pictograms."
Wang Qi nodded, noting the talismans here. Then, he continued toward the next academy.
Jingwei Academy, proficient in the chessboard's Heavenly Elent Technique. The disciples here even have black and white patterns on their sleeves. The talismans here include that set of self-created talismans and the Holy Virtue thod, along with a Xuanji Sealing Technique.
Then it was Tiannan Academy, Shanyang Academy...
Since studying the magic seal always takes ti, by the ti Wang Qi had visited all the academies, it was already the next day.
By this ti, Wang Qi had already changed his identity three tis. This ant three more disciples from the Heavenly Book Tower had fallen into his hands.
It's not uncommon for Foundation Establishnt disciples to suddenly retreat for months, so the disappearance of these cultivators won't cause much of a stir.
As a result, the structure diagrams of the seven major academies of the Heavenly Book Tower appeared in Wang Qi's mind, along with the inexplicable seals arranged by high-order cultivators of the tower.
"It's still not enough."
Wang Qi thought, "I need to take another walk around the forty-eight book buildings."
The forty-eight book buildings are mostly guarded by Divine Separation Stage cultivators. For the Divine Separation Stage cultivators, Wang Qi wouldn't dare to play so brazenly.
Out of the forty-eight major book buildings of the Heavenly Book Tower, half are not open to low-level disciples. Among them, the four towers: Cold Fragrance, Yuan Guang, Lingyun, and Fuyao are where Divine Separation Stage cultivators are in closed-door retreat. The two towers, Xuanhu and Fangjue, are the residences of Unification Stage cultivators.
The core Langhuan Book Tower, although also a place for sect collections, is absolutely not open. Here is the residence of the Heavenly Book Tower's master, as well as the place for sect etings.
"According to the scattered information I've heard, the low-level disciples most commonly visit... 'Xixian' and 'Shangxian' towers."
Wang Qi organized the information in his mind while constructing the layout of the Heavenly Book Tower's sect. Having cultivated the Book of Geotry and combined it with the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture into the Heavenly Position Technique, and further advancing it to the Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique level, his sense of space and image imagination capability was beyond what ordinary people could fathom. With each step he took, the map in his mind beca clearer.
He entered the "Xixian Building" and was imdiately stunned by the astonishing collection inside.
Due to limited land, each sect on Spirit Phoenix Island has very little space to occupy. The architecture of the Ancient thod Practitioners on Spirit Phoenix Island has naturally shrunk. However, the main buildings of the core sect of the Heavenly Book Tower are still large enough. The Xixian Building is rely for the outer disciples, yet its ground floor is still the size of a stadium. Even more astonishingly, it's filled with books.
Navigating the dense bookshelves was difficult even for passing through people.
"Eh—" Wang Qi exclaid in awe. This scene is still rare in the Modern Immortal Path. If the Immortal Alliance's online database were to be materialized, it would surely surpass all the collections of the Heavenly Book Tower. However, many items of the Immortal Alliance exist only online and have not been consolidated into such a physical library.
Zhen Chan sighed slightly, "If the Luofu Xuanqing Palace's Langhuan Pavilion still existed, what would the Heavenly Book Tower be worth?"
Both Luofu Xuanqing Palace and Heavenly Book Tower have a style of plundering the world's spells to achieve themselves. Zhen Chan's ancestor made a na by seizing cultivation techniques from other sects. In this aspect, the Heavenly Book Tower's appetite is only slightly better—its fortune was built on grave-robbing, including that of the Ancient Holy Emperor.
Alright, in another sense, the Heavenly Book Tower's lower limit is much less than Luofu Xuanqing Palace's.
Apart from the Holy Infant Sect's Immortal Dao Burning Book List, there is no more comprehensive Immortal Dao Treasure Book.
Wang Qi smiled. The Modern Immortal Path does have quite a bit of information on Ancient thod, but it hasn't been researched as thoroughly as the Heavenly Book Tower.
At the ti of the ancient-modern battles, when the Yuanli Master erged, the Modern rapidly advanced, it was a good ti to wipe out bull demons and snake gods but neglected the protection of Ancient thod information, leading to the dispersal of many valuable research materials. Otherwise, the current flourishing state of the Modern Immortal Path could have been several tis stronger.
Indeed, as Yue Luo and Liu Li said, the history of the Modern Immortal Path is too short, the foundation too shallow, and many areas of magic studies, the Immortal Alliance has not yet realized.
This is the difference between the "knowledgeable" and the "erudite." The Modern has embarked on a path different from the Ancient thod, delving deeper into world research, but lacks the pass-down from external civilizations.
Nevertheless, nowadays, the Immortal Alliance has begun to notice this deficiency, actively protecting and developing ancient relics, and compensating for previous losses.
"If I eventually eliminate the Holy Emperor Venerable, and this library remains, I shall move it back to the Immortal Alliance. It would be a supplent to the existing studies of magic."
Wang Qi thought to himself, walking over and reaching out to randomly pick up a book.
At this mont, he furrowed his brow, "Huh? Actually..."
"What's wrong? Ah?"
Zhen Chan, sharing the perception with Wang Qi at this mont, also noticed.
This book is actually connected to the array of the entire book building.
