In this world, he always felt a sense of loneliness, and only the old Taoist Tu could sowhat connect with him.
Now he beca the object of everyone's neglect, which also granted him so peace and quiet.
It just so happened that no one disturbed him from reading.
The library of the Taoist academy was originally deserted, rarely had anyone co to peruse these relatively useless books, and it seed everyone intentionally stayed away from Lin Yue, so at this mont, he was the only one in the library.
The library was silent, with only the sound of Lin Yue turning the pages breaking the silence.
Ti passed quietly.
Lin Yue nearly forgot to eat or sleep as he pored over one book after another of seemingly useless tos, almost until sunset, and only when the room grew dim did he finally co back to his senses.
"I'll finish this book before I leave."
Lin Yue glanced at the "River Map Strategy" in his hand, thought for a mont, and prepared to light an oil lamp to continue reading.
At that mont—
"Dong!"
A high, resonant toll of a bell suddenly rang in his mind.
At the sa ti, everything before his eyes froze, and the faint sound of insects from outside the library completely disappeared, leaving everything in silence except for the trendous toll of the bell echoing.
"It's today's."
Lin Yue did not react, only listening quietly.
For the past half a month, the secrets had without exception been of the First Ring Level, leaving him anxious and helpless.
He didn't know what level of secrets he needed to resolve his current predicant.
But when it involved matters as shocking as the birth of a prince of the Divine Emperor, the secret that could help him must be of a very high level.
The re First Ring Level was of no use at all.
"Dong!"
Another high, resonant toll sounded, and a trace of hope welled up within Lin Yue.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
The continuous, magnificent tolls of the bell seed endless, leaving Lin Yue slightly stunned and increasingly overjoyed.
It wasn't until five consecutive tolls passed that it finally ceased.
"It's a Five Rings Level secret!"
After counting the number of tolls, Lin Yue was instantly overjoyed.
Since arriving in this world, the first secret he obtained through his innate divine power was of the Eighth Ring level.
However, that secret was utterly useless to him, and it made him sowhat anxious, fearing that he might accidentally let it slip, leaving him unable to disclose even a tiny piece of it.
Furthermore, the highest was once a Five Rings Level secret, which allowed him to obtain a very bizarre and precious treasure on a mysterious corpse in a hidden cave.
But the lower-level secrets were of no help to his current predicant.
However, now he heard five consecutive tolls again!
Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of excitent in his heart, and he hurriedly listened carefully, afraid of missing anything.
The next mont, a vague and ethereal whisper sounded in his mind, softly telling him—
"Did you know? In the cave where you obtained the rare treasure 'Images of All Beings,' the stone wall at the end of the cave is actually a secret door, and behind the door lies a Cave Mansion. But only the original master of the Cave Mansion can open it by striking the nine positions on the stone wall with bare hands according to the nurals of the Lo Shu square of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."
Once the whisper faded away, everything returned to normal.
Amidst the insect songs of the autumn night, Lin Yue stood in place, holding the scroll, dazedly, "So, that cave... is a Cave Mansion?"
At that mont, a great sense of hope and expectation was born in his heart.
Although he didn't know what was inside that Cave Mansion, just in front of the door, he found a treasure as precious as the 'Images of All Beings.'
If he could enter, perhaps he truly could find a glimr of hope...
"I must, I must find a way to get inside."
Lin Yue's eyes suddenly sharpened, hidden with a boundless desire and determination.
