The Story of the Swordsman

Library

Yun Lintian put aside his mixed thoughts and went to the bookshelf on the left. He channeled his energy and the bookshelf began to move to the side, revealing a hidden door behind him.

"Sad. This old man was hiding something here all this time?" Yun Lintian clicked his tongue and opened the door, walking into it.

"What ..." Yun Lintian exclaimed as he arrived at a spacious room with countless bookshelves. The floor was made of Heavenly Sandalwood, emitting a calming fragrance making one's mind become clearer upon inhaling it.

On the left side, a large touchscreen monitor hangs on the wall and displays the phrase 'Welcome to the library' in digital text.

Calming himself, Yun Lintian walked over to the touchscreen monitor and touched it with his finger.

"Scan ..." Suddenly, a female voice sounded.

"Detects SSS level identity."

"Confirm identity."

"Welcome Master Yun Lintian at the library."

"My name is Smart 01, library administrator."

"If Master has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me."

A series of female voices echoed, causing Yun Lintian to be shocked.

"Wait, how do you know my identity? My fingerprints shouldn't be the same, right?" Yun Lintian suddenly thought of this matter. When he was transferred here. Her body should not be the same as her on Earth. How does AI recognize it? Except... He was still the same person all along! But how!?

Yun Lintian's mind spun rapidly. Some conjectures came to his mind, but he did not know and how to prove it. Was his parents that strong to the point that he could reverse death? He was convinced that he was dead for good at that moment.

The more Yun Lintian thought, the more confusing he became, because he lacked evidence and information. Everything was limited to his imagination at this moment.

"I can't answer you, Master." Smart01 answered clearly.

Yun Lintian was disappointed, but he did not ask any further. He changed the subject. "May I change your name? I don't like your name right now."

"You can, Master." Answer Smart01.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said, "Then I will name you Lynn."

"understandable. From now on my name is Lynn."

"Alright, please introduce this place to me."

"This place was built three thousand years ago ..." Lynn started to introduce but was cut by Yun Lintian. "Go to the point. What are these books." Yun Lintian looked at the books on the bookshelf.

"okay, Master. There are currently 874,325 books in the library. They were profound arts of the entire universe, classified into 7 ranks i.e., Primordial rank, Highest rank, Divine rank, Myth rank, Heaven rank, Earth rank, and Mortal rank."

"There are in total 4 categories, categories Body Refining Art, Essence Profound Art, Soul Profound Art and Knowledge. The Master can request recommendations from me and I will sort them all according to the current Master's level."

Yun Lintian nodded his head ... How did my parents collect all this? What exactly is his identity? He asked, "Did my father build this place? And how did he collect these books?"

"That's right, Master. However, I can't tell you the specific information as it has been removed by him." Answer Lynn.

Yun Lintian was disappointed. He put the matter aside and asked. "Can you recommend me a profound art that suits my current level?"

Afterwards, several names appear on the screen, sorted by rank and category.

Yun Lintian looked at the names and was stunned for a moment because they were too few, and there was nothing higher than Heaven rank.

"This only?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Yes, Master. According to your current talent, this profound art is your limit." Lynn answered softly.

Yun Lintian was speechless and carefully looked at the Heaven-ranked profound arts. There were only four and all of them focused on the fire element.

Yun Lintian sighed and asked, "How do you evaluate my talent?"

"From Your Blood Vessels, Master. As for the other variations, such as comprehension and soul power, they cannot be measured by me. Therefore, I will always provide each book without regard to your understanding." Lynn explained.

"So there's a chance that I can't practice it, even if it matches my Blood Vessels." Yun Lintian understood his meaning. Lynn would give him a Primordial ranked profound art if it matched his Blood Vessels, but it still depended on his understanding to learn it as well.

"That's right, Master." Lynn.

Yun Lintian did not linger on this topic any further. He asked, "Can I move this library somewhere else?"

"You can, Master. You can channel your energy into this monitor and the library will shrink into a small ball of light. The master can put it anywhere you want later. However, Master cannot bring the library to the outside world." Lynn explained.

"May your journey be safe, Master." Lynn replied, and the screen returned to normal with a welcome text.

Yun Lintian walked out of the library and opened the silver gate, leaving the Heaven Transcending Ground.

"Moon!" After Yun Lintian appeared in the river, Yun Huanxin's Spiritual Indra immediately detected him. He was at a loss as to why he had appeared here out of nowhere, but he was more concerned about his safety.

"Third Aunt?" Yun Lintian was surprised to see it.

"Are you hurt?" Yun Huanxin asked worriedly.

Yun Lintian replied, "I'm fine, Third Aunt."

Yun Huanxin did not ask any further and he said with a serious expression, "We should go back now. The situation there is not good." He did not dare to tell Yun Lintian about Yun Qianxue's current condition.

Yun Lintian's expression changed and hurriedly said, "I'll set up the formation now. Please help me make a cave here, Third Aunt."

Yun Huanxin shot a sword light into the cliff, created a small cave in an instant, and brought Yun Lintian into the cave. He quickly set up a transmission formation and a concealment formation. Half an hour later, the two disappeared into the transmission formation.

***

In the sky above the Misty Cloud Peak, Qi Qianxing casually drank tea without rushing to attack the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Your Majesty, something happened at the entrance of the mythical realm." Suddenly, an old man with a white beard appeared beside him with a serious expression.

Qi Qianxing's brows slightly raised. "What's that?"

The old man started to tell the report he had received from Qi Hao.

Qi Qianxing frowned and put down her teacup. "Yuanfeng failed to catch him?"

The old man lowered his head and said nothing.

Qi Qianxing pondered for a moment and waved her hand. "That's it. We can start now."

"Understand, Your Majesty." The old man lowered his head and called out to the ten people behind him, starting to attack the barrier of the Protection Sect Formation.

Booms! Booms!

Each attack was powerful enough to create a huge hole in the barrier. However, none of them can fully provide permanent damage.

In the main hall, Yun Ruanyu put on a serious expression on her face as she looked at the barrier anxiously.

"Ruanyu, we can last at most an hour." Yun Qingrou said after examining the remaining Profound Stone.

Yun Ruanyu was silent for a moment before she said, "I'll use the Last Fog."

Yun Qingrou hurriedly said, "Don't, Ruanyu. We have to wait for Huanxin and the others first."

Yun Ruanyu turned her head to look at Yun Qingrou and Yun Qianxue, who were unconscious. He said solemnly, "I'll stop them before Huanxin returns."

Yun Qingrou did not say anything to persuade Yun Ruanyu further, as she knew in the end they had no choice but to use the Last Fog.

Yun Ruanyu took out a new Guqin and walked out of the hall.

Woosh

Just as Yun Ruanyu was about to fly, she saw the tremors around the transmission formation.

"Ruanyu!" Yun Huanxin appeared near the main hall with Yun Lintian.

"You're back." Yun Ruanyu said and looked at Yun Lintian. Seeing her safe and sound, she felt relieved, but the burden in her heart did not disappear because she did not know what would happen if Yun Lintian saw Yun Qianxue's current state.

"Aunt Ruanyu, where's mom?" Yun Lintian asked because he did not see Yun Qianxue even though the sect was attacked by enemies at this moment.

Yun Ruanyu's hand trembled slightly, and she said, "Your mother is inside. Go and look."

Yun Lintian watched Yun Ruanyu's hand, and he had a bad premonition. Without wasting any further time, he rushed into the hall and saw Yun Qianxue lying on the ice bed, unconscious.

"Mother!" Yun Lintian exclaimed and arrived at his side. Right now, Yun Qianxue had already lost all her former beauty. His hair was gray, and there were wrinkles all over his body. She looked like a woman in her sixties.

Yun Lintian's eyes turned red. His hands clenched tightly to the point that blood dripped out. A strong killing intent enveloped his body. This was the first time he had been truly enraged since he had come to this world.
