Too Wild Swallowing Heaven

Chapter 4842 The Power of Rules in Books

The four cultivators who entered the house immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly drew their weapons, attacking Liu Wuxie.

There was no wasted words, no superfluous moves, only deadly strikes aimed directly at his vital points.

Liu Wuxie hadn't expected them to act so cleanly and swiftly, without any hesitation. Such murder and robbery were things that couldn't be done in the light of day, so the best course of action was to kill them to silence them and quickly leave the area.

"Suppress!"

Liu Wuxie raised his palm and forcefully pressed down.

Upon breaking through to the Profound Saint Realm, his strength increased by more than just a little. A terrifying giant handprint forcefully suppressed the four cultivators, freezing them in place.

Even the fourth-level Profound Saint was pinned to the spot, unable to move, his eyes filled with terror.

"Who are you, and why did you attack me in the middle of the night?"

Liu Wuxie's gaze fell on the four people, his tone extremely cold. He still didn't know whether these people were sent by the Dragon Smoke Pavilion or the Kuo family.

Logically speaking, the Kuo family shouldn't have been able to discover their whereabouts so quickly.

Having just arrived in Zilin City, he had no enemies. Strangely, these people were clearly targeting him.

"Boy, let us go! Our leader is a Quasi-Saint level expert. Hand over your contribution points now, and we might consider sparing your life."

The cultivator with the highest cultivation level, a fourth-level Profound Saint, had a ferocious expression on his face as he looked at Liu Wuxie with a sinister look.

Upon hearing the word "quasi-saint," Liu Wuxie couldn't help but frown.

"Swallow!"

Killing people here would definitely dirty the floor of the house, so Liu Wuxie directly sucked the four of them into the Devouring Heaven Cauldron and interrogated them thoroughly.

Now that we have them under control, we have no intention of letting them leave alive.

So what if he's a Quasi-Saint? He already has the qualifications to contend with Quasi-Saints. As long as he doesn't encounter those top Quasi-Saints, with his current strength, even if he's no match for them, he can still escape safely by relying on the concealment techniques taught by Ni Ling.

"Now you can tell me who sent you and how you started watching me."

It's not hard to tell from their answers that they must have been targeted, which is why they came to ambush him in the dead of night, using poisonous smoke to steal his money and kill him.

Terrifying chaotic holy fire surged from all directions, conjuring up terrifying figures that terrified the four people so much that they lost control of their bladder and bowels on the spot.

They dared not hide anything and told them everything they knew.

After listening to their story, Liu Wuxie fell into deep thought.

"I didn't expect Tongyu Ancient City to be so much more complicated than I thought. These thugs are like leeches, specifically targeting lone cultivators. Once you fall into their hands, you'll be stripped of your contribution points at best, and they'll kill and rob you at worst."

After figuring out the reason, Liu Wuxie unleashed his powerful divine sense to invade the soul seas of the four of them.

In just a few breaths, all the memories of the four people were stripped away, just as they had described earlier.

"The Black Dragon Society is actually an organization. The lower-level members are responsible for keeping an eye on the wandering cultivators, while the higher-ups are responsible for plundering them. Over the years, they have plundered a lot of resources from those wandering cultivators, and their members are spread throughout the entire Zilin City."

After digesting the memories of the four of them, a solemn look appeared in Liu Wuxie's eyes.

From the memories of the four, we learned that they belonged to the East Branch of the City. The branch leader's highest cultivation level was Quasi-Saint Seventh Level, and there were two Quasi-Saint Primary Level Protectors below him.

Liu Wuxie couldn't find the location of the main headquarters; only the leader knew its location. From his memories, he also learned that the leader of the Black Dragon Society was a highly skilled cultivator, at least at the Ancestral Saint level.

"I never expected that upon arriving in Tongyu Ancient City, I would inexplicably offend the Kuo family, and now I'm entangled with the Black Dragon Society. It will probably be very difficult for me to cultivate in peace from now on!"

Liu Wuxie withdrew his consciousness from the Devouring Heaven Cauldron and couldn't help but rub his temples.

He only wanted to cultivate quietly, accumulate enough merit points, and break through to the Lesser Saint Lord Realm so that he could use the boundary passage to travel to the Ancient God Realm.

Without the support of vast resources, let alone breaking through to the Lesser Saint Lord Realm, even breaking through to the Dao Saint Realm would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Resources! I need tons of resources!"

Liu Wuxie roared inwardly. He had no shortage of talent or cultivation techniques; what he lacked was a large supply of resources. As long as there were a continuous stream of resources, he believed that with his talent, he would soon be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

suddenly!

Liu Wuxie's gaze suddenly pierced through the window and landed on a large tree in the distance. Two figures were crouching in the darkness, watching the situation on his side.

He had noticed it before and thought it was a coincidence. It seemed that the other party was also after him. However, Liu Wuxie did not sense any hostility from the two of them.

"Dragon Smoke Pavilion!"

Liu Wuxie immediately realized that these two must have been sent by Longyan Pavilion. Whether they were there to monitor him or to protect him, Liu Wuxie did not know.

The two men in black, who were crouching on the big tree, felt a chill run down their spines. They clearly felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy descend upon them.

"We've been discovered!"

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief. They were top-tier Quasi-Saint level experts, while their opponent was merely a Profound Saint level cultivator. It was simply unbelievable that he could detect their presence.

"The Profound Saint Realm cannot project their divine sense outwards, so how did he discover us?"

The other person looked completely bewildered.

Even top-tier quasi-saint level experts have extremely limited range of divine sense, at most a few dozen feet. Guarding this place is already their limit; any further and they will be unable to keep track of Liu Wuxie's movements.

Liu Wuxie's soul cannot be judged by ordinary standards. With his four Dharma forms and nine seas of consciousness, even the soul foundation of those Dao Saint experts is not as profound as that of Liu Wuxie.

"Send the message back immediately and let Miss make a decision!"

Now that we've been discovered, we must inform the young lady immediately.

Ren Yiluo, who was resting, was woken up again. Looking at the message that came back, Ren Yiluo's sleepiness vanished instantly, and her beautiful eyes revealed shock.

"Make them all withdraw. I will personally visit them to apologize tomorrow."

Sending someone to secretly monitor someone is disrespectful to others. Although they meant no harm, it still violated Liu Wuxie's privacy.

Upon receiving the message, the two men in black who were guarding the tree immediately retreated, as if they had never been there.

Watching the two men in black leave, Liu Wuxie rested his chin on his hand in deep thought. He was certain that these two men were sent by Ren Yiluo, but he didn't know their purpose for the time being.

"Never mind that for now. Tomorrow, I'll go to the library to learn about the situation in Tongyu Ancient City. They should have detailed records of everything in Tongyu Ancient City, including the Dragon Smoke Pavilion and some things about the Black Dragon Society."

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he returned to his bed. He had no mind to meditate and cultivate, but instead recalled everything that had happened in the past few days.

Before he knew it, the night had passed quickly. As soon as it was dawn, Liu Wuxie left the inn and headed towards the library.

As soon as I stepped out of the inn, several figures appeared out of the shadows.

The men sent last night had not returned, and the Black Dragon Society's East City branch realized something was wrong, so they sent men to guard the inn's entrance early this morning.

"Protector Zhu, that's the man. The three men, including Third Master, haven't returned. They're probably in grave danger."

The one who spoke was a dark-skinned man who was usually in charge of this inn and hadn't left all night.

"Let's follow them!"

Protector Zhu is one of the two great protectors of the east of the city. His cultivation level is the second level of Quasi-Saint. His blood and qi are refined, making him an absolute powerhouse.

As soon as Liu Wuxie left the inn, he noticed someone following him, but he ignored it. This was the main street, and he wasn't worried about them ambushing him.

After walking for about ten breaths, Liu Wuxie saw a huge library, five stories high, with each floor filled with books.

Upon entering the library, the reading rules are posted on the side: the first floor requires 50 contribution points per day, the second floor requires 100 contribution points, the third floor requires 300, the fourth floor requires 500, and the fifth floor requires 1,000 contribution points, and you can only read for one day.

After seeing the prices, Liu Wuxie couldn't help but gasp. One thousand contribution points was enough for him to cultivate in seclusion in the second-class cultivation room of the Dragon Smoke Pavilion for two days.

"If Su Niang were to awaken, that would be wonderful. With Su Niang's abilities, she could read a large number of books in a very short time, slowly organize them through the Heavenly Dao Divine Book, and finally inject the organized memories into herself, saving her own reading time."

Liu Wuxie thought to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.

Su Niang completely merged with the Heavenly Dao Divine Book, transforming into a five-colored robe to guard the main god. She had awakened once before, but later fell into a deep sleep again.

After paying fifty contribution points, Liu Wuxie planned to take a look around the first floor first.

I picked up a book at random. The contents of the book were very detailed, but they were all trivial matters.

Just as Liu Wuxie was engrossed in reading, he felt a strange power of rules surging into his body from the book, as if he were being absorbed by some kind of force.

"This is!"

Liu Wuxie was immediately shocked. He clearly sensed that the five-colored robe conjured by the Heavenly Dao Divine Book could actually absorb the power of the rules within the book.

Every book in the ancient city of Tongyu contains the power of rules. With the blessing of the power of rules, these books will not be damaged no matter how many years have passed.

It is this power of rules that allows many books to be imbued with spirituality.

The book Liu Wuxie was holding was just an ordinary book, containing very little power of rules.

He quickly put down the book in his hand, picked up the one next to him, and opened it. Just like before, the power of the rules in the book was absorbed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Book.

"Since the Heavenly Dao Divine Book can actively absorb the power of rules within the book, does that mean that it can awaken as long as it absorbs enough power of rules?"

A bold idea began to take root in Liu Wuxie's mind.

Liu Wuxie only absorbs a portion of the power of the rules and will not harm the books. At most, the power of the rules in these books will be restored in a few days.

Ordinary people cannot perceive the power of rules within books, but the Heavenly Dao Divine Book can perceive it clearly.

After considering this possibility, Liu Wuxie kept flipping through the books. With his current spiritual power, reading tens of thousands of books a day was no problem at all.

The nine seas of consciousness and the four main gods are constantly helping Liu Wuxie with his reading, allowing him to finish reading a book in a very short time.

As more and more power of rules flowed into the Heavenly Dao Divine Book, the Five-Colored Robe released a dazzling light, and Liu Wuxie clearly sensed that Su Niang was slowly waking up.

"Let's go to the second floor; the power of rules contained in the books there should be stronger!"

Liu Wuxie immediately paid the contribution points and rushed towards the second floor.
