Chapter 494 - 190: Life is like a dream, Love is Three Thousand!_1

"Huh? Brother Chen, you’re here too?"

Chen Chang’an had just picked up a book when he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned and saw that it was Lin Qingxuan.

"Junior Sister Lin, are you here to look for books too?"

"Tomorrow, we’ll be going to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, so I wanted to review some Formation texts," Lin Qingxuan nodded.

"What about you, Brother Chen?"

Lin Qingxuan curiously looked at Chen Chang’an, surprised that he was visiting the scripture repository. She didn’t think the Taiyi Sect had any classes or books that would benefit him.

Simply because the level difference was too vast.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, the area where Brother Chen was standing was meant for miscellaneous scripts. There weren’t any powerful cultivation techniques or classic texts here. What could he possibly find?

"Huh? Something about the Immortal Realm?"

"Brother Chen, you like reading this?"

Suddenly, Lin Qingxuan noticed the book in Chen Chang’an’s hand and became quite curious.

’Something about the Immortal Realm’ was obviously a book of miscellaneous topics, possibly even a fantasy novel written by a cultivator. Why would Chen Chang’an pick such a book?

"When I’m free, I enjoy reading these things," Chen Chang’an nodded, then asked curiously.

"Do you know where to find these kinds of books, Junior Sister?"

Could it really be?

At his words, Lin Qingxuan felt stunned. She never expected Chen Chang’an to admit it so honestly.

But, thinking about it, it made sense. After all, his cultivation had already reached an incredible level.

In this world, there isn’t theoretically any cultivation technique that could further increase their strength, after reaching a certain point, they naturally go with the flow.

Miscellaneous scripts are indeed miscellaneous compared to cultivation techniques that contain the essence of Dao, but they could still be seen as a form of entertainment.

Aren’t cultivators just seeking the ultimate form of entertainment?

Thoughts tumbling in her mind, Lin Qingxuan respectfully said:

"Brother Chen might not know, but this book is supposedly brought back from the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion by one of our Sect Elders."

"In the beginning, everyone thought it was an unparalleled cultivation technique, so everyone paid great attention to it."

"But after repeated research by our Elders, they discovered that this is just an imagined miscellaneous script, without any Daoist methods in it."

"So, the book was just casually placed here."

"If Brother Chen likes these types of books, then when I go to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion this time, I can help you find more."

Lin Qingxuan spoke sincerely, and she truly felt that way. In her perspective, it was just something she could do with ease.

On the other hand, if she could gain Brother Chen’s favor through this, it would be very beneficial for her future relationships.

"Thank you very much, Junior Sister." Chen Chang’an didn’t refuse Lin Qingxuan’s offer. He didn’t desire these types of books without reason, but he simply needed them.

No matter if you’re the Supreme Saint of the Confucians or the Master of the Six Daos, in this world, power is the most respected.

"Brother Chen, you’re too polite. This is just a minor deed." Lin Qingxuan shook her head, feeling quite pleased that Chen Chang’an accepted her kind intention.

In her previous lonely life, it seems that in this life she’s finally found a companion who she can converse with.

"Junior Sister, what kind of books are you looking for here?"

At this moment, Chen Chang’an curiously looked at Lin Qingxuan, somewhat puzzled about her purpose of coming to the scripture repository.

Cramming at the last minute, that’s not something a reborn big shot would do.

"Brother Chen, I’m looking for detailed explanations of Formations.

"It’s said that at the gate from the eighth to the ninth floor of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, there’s a Formation. Only those who pass through the Formation qualify to enter the ninth floor of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion."

"Although for tens of thousands of years no one has ever broken through the eighth floor to reach the ninth floor and confirmed the legend, I think that since we’re going to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, it’s always right to be somewhat prepared."

Lin Qingxuan didn’t dodge the question and shared her goal with Chen Chang’an.

What she called legend wasn’t actually a legend, but the truth.

In her previous life, Lin Qingxuan had encountered that Formation. Although she barely made it through, she was eventually completely depleted and sent back before even setting foot on the ninth floor. This had always been a frustration for her.

This time, now that she had a hard-won chance to be reborn, she was determined to try again and reach the ninth floor of the Pavilion!

However, while it was the truth, Lin Qingxuan used a more tactful way to say it. This was also seen as the first step to getting closer to Brother Chen, sharing some information as she saw fit.

"I see, well, Junior Sister, do your best," Chen Chang’an nodded in support.

He wasn’t sure if what Lin Qingxuan said was true or not; nonetheless, he still supported her.

After staying in the scripture repository for a while, Chen Chang’an excused himself and left.

Back in his room, Chen Chang’an finally had the chance to read ’Something about the Immortal Realm.’

Truth be told, the book was quite rich in content, depicting a bizarre and unusual world.

The protagonist of the book was called Wuyazi, and the book described him as an Immortal Monarch. Chen Chang’an wasn’t sure what kind of a realm it suggests, though.

However, the book simply describes Wuyazi’s average life. He cultivates, becomes enlightened, establishes his city, inherits the family business, gets married and has children, then finally dies. So ordinary and nothing out of the ordinary.

In other words, it really was just a regular book of miscellaneous scripts, which made Chen Chang’an feel slightly disappointed.

Even the System, if it wanted to extract anything related to cultivation techniques from such books, would at least require the books to have a certain connection with those techniques.

But after reading this book, Chen Chang’an didn’t see any connections to Divine Skills or other techniques at all.

This was indeed somewhat disappointing.

"Huh? What’s this?"

However, just when Chen Chang’an had lost all hope, he suddenly noticed a line engraved on the back of the book.

’Life is but a dream, great love is endless!’

Ordinarily, there would be nothing unusual about ’Life is but a dream, great love is endless,’ but Chen Chang’an noticed something peculiar. Since the beginning of the book, the main character Wuyazi constantly repeated these words.

’Life’ and ’great love’?

What could it be?

Chen Chang’an’s brows furrowed. The more he read these lines, the stronger a gut feeling he had that these lines were of extraordinary significance.

Moreover, Chen Chang’an felt an unusual feeling that he had a chance of unlocking something significant in this book.

With this in mind, Chen Chang’an picked up the book again and started reading more casually than ever.
