Chapter 106: The Way of the World

this, naturally, is all thanks to Jiang Yun.A cultivator who was only at the Triple Heaven Realm of Good Fortune, in the midst of a chaotic battle involving thousands, not only successively saved for...At this point, the library had already flown to mid-air. Naturally, everyone focused their gaze upon it. But no matter how they counted, there were still only seven floors.

Amongst the many disciples' confusion, the four peak masters had already stood up one after another, and Dao Tianyou's hand also appeared with a scroll, which was none other than the Illusory Beast Diagram.

Next, five people simultaneously raised their hands and threw the profound essence belonging to each of the Five Peaks—that is, five magical artifacts—toward the top of the seventh floor of the Sky Vault.

"Buzz!"

Five artifacts, radiating with ethereal light, lined up in a row from top to bottom. Looking at them, it was as if five extra steps had appeared above the bookshelves of a library.

Step by step, extending towards the sky!

And with the appearance of this treasure platform, in the void above the five-element coffin at the very top, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared, and they spread rapidly towards the surroundings. After a moment, within these ripples, a magnificent pavilion emerged!

A level identical to the one below, this tower hangs in mid-air, not touching the sky above nor the ground below!

This is the eighth floor of the library pavilion. Only by assembling five pieces of the foundational treasures and forming the Ascension Staircase can it be opened!

At this moment, most people finally understood why Jiang Yun's breakthrough was not one peak, but five peaks!

All the disciples initially thought that this ancient and venerable ceremony of accepting apprentices was underwhelming, too simplistic. The Sect Master had specially invited them to witness it, but it turned out they weren't there for the apprenticeship; they were there to see the eighth floor of the library!

"Ginger Cloud, why are you still standing there Step onto the stairs and enter the eighth floor to receive your master's gift!"

The ancient master's robe fluttered once more, a gust of wind suddenly enveloping the dumbfounded Jiang Yun. It swept upward through the seven floors of the scripture pavilion, finally landing on the first step—the Zhantian Sword!

Although until this moment, Ginger Cloud still doesn't know what kind of gift his master is going to give him as a token of acceptance, just these five magical artifacts forming the staircase are enough to let him realize that this gift will definitely be extraordinary!

Sky Severing Sword, Heavenly Soldier Talisman, Illusory Beast Diagram, Red Dust Melody Score, Five Elements Coffin!

When Jiang Yun stepped onto the stairs formed by the five magical treasures, feeling a kind of emotion similar to recognition emanating from each treasure, he finally understood why his master had made him climb the Five Peaks.

While five divine artifacts can indeed unlock the eighth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, only those who have relied on their own strength to successfully pass through the Five Peaks and earn the recognition of the five artifacts are eligible to step upon the staircase they form.

Otherwise, even if you manage to open the eighth floor of the library, you will still be unable to enter it.

Finally, after walking up the five steps one by one, Jiang Yun stood beside the grand gate of the sky-high tower. He lowered his head and found that all the figures on Cang Feng who were gazing at him, now resembled ants.

Withdrew his gaze, Jiang Yun slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, he reached out with both hands and gently placed them on top of the door. With all his might, he pushed it open.

What was presented before Jiang Yun's eyes was an ordinary room. Besides being larger in size, there was nothing unusual about it.

In the empty room, there was only a white jade slip, about the thickness of a finger, hanging silently in the center.

Jiang Yun already knew that although most writing was recorded on paper, in the world of cultivators, jade slips were more practical and convenient.

One's own disciple offering, it must be this seemingly unremarkable jade tablet.

Raising her foot, Ginger Cloud stepped into the room. Her pace was steady as she walked straight to the jade tablet without rushing. Instead of immediately taking it, she first carefully examined it for a few moments before reaching out and grasping the jade tablet in her hand.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a roar in his ear, countless noisy sounds rang out beside Jiang Yun. Before his eyes, scenes unfolded one after another.

Whether it be sound or sight, there were simply too many, converging into countless streams. Regardless of whether Jiang Yun was willing to listen or see, they all poured into his ears and eyes relentlessly.

As for Jiang Yun, most of the sounds and sights were extremely unfamiliar to him, with only a few that gave him a sense of familiarity.

For example, the trees sway and rustle; countless beasts bellow and roar; rivers surge and thunder.

As for those unfamiliar sounds and sights, although Jiang Yun had never seen them before, he could still distinguish some.

For example, there is an old man telling a story with a kind face in a simple wooden house; for example, dozens of young men in long robes and scholar’s caps are holding wine glasses and chatting and laughing happily on top of a tall building; for example, a group of filial children and grandchildren wearing white mourning clothes are crying bitterly beside a grave.

Jian Yun was completely immersed in these sounds and sights, listening to each one and seeing each one, oblivious to the passage of time.

After an unknown amount of time, all the sounds finally began to gradually converge, and all the images also began to merge...

Until finally, before Jiang Yun, appeared three ancient characters.

Above these three characters, an air of profound antiquity emanates, as if they existed in a distant past and have now traversed millennia to reach us.

Although Ginger Cloud didn't recognize any of the three characters, when his eyes fell on the last ancient character, a glimmer of shock flashed in them.

Because I have seen this text myself!

Anything taken from the water formed from stone will bear a mark, and the inscription within that mark will be identical to the one before your eyes.

At that moment, all the voices converged into three words, echoing in Jiang Yun's ears.

"Human, Space, Way!"

Humanity!

This is both a cultivation method and a kind of the Great Dao.

Next, the three ancient texts suddenly exploded, transforming into countless tiny characters. Like spring rain, they swirled and fell into Gingercloud's mind.

At the same time, Dao Tianyou on Mount Cangfeng slowly retracted his gaze and transmitted a sound to Gu Bulao: "I still feel that the human path is not very suitable for Jiang Yun!"

"Gu Bulao chuckled faintly and said, 'I used to feel that way too, but now I think he's most suited for cultivating the Human Dao.'"

Why

Although he wasn't entirely free from imperfections, compared to ordinary humans living in the world, he was far purer. With this pure heart as his foundation, perhaps he could perceive a different path of humanity!

Dao Tianyou closed his mouth, as if savoring the meaning of Gu Bulao's words. After a moment, he continued, "What about afterward Aren't you going to tell him that human life is not the ultimate goal"

Perhaps because of my good mood today, Gu Bulao spoke much more than usual.

"There's no need to tell him. When he one day truly comprehends the ways of humanity, then he will naturally understand that above human principles lie even higher-level cultivation techniques. And I believe that by then, his strength will be fully qualified to compete for a place among the top!"

Gu Bulao raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through the towering buildings in the sky, looking at Jiang Yun who was sitting cross-legged at this moment, his eyes closed, and various expressions constantly appearing on his face.

"Ahem!"

After a moment, Gu Bulao retracted his gaze, suddenly coughed lightly twice, and then turned to the surrounding cave dwelling cultivators and said: "As seniors, you have come to witness the ceremony, you should not come empty-handed, right!"
