‘That’s strange. What just happened? Why do I feel like I was being targeted by some extremely terrifying existence?’

Ning Yuhen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and immediately shook his head. He began to recount the books again, while Ye Xiao raised his brows slightly and began to ponder.

“King El’s map. What is that?”

He had stayed in the library for so long, but he had never heard of such a thing.

However, if it was not something important, that evil spirit would not have come all the way here.

Moreover, from what he had said just now, King El’s map was on the upper level of the library.

What was stored there were extremely confidential documents, files, and spiritual cultivation techniques.

That caused Ye Xiao to be quite interested in King El’s map.

It looked like he would have to investigate it if he had the chance.

…

At the same time, in a corner of Jianghai city, within a small house in a remote location, a black-clothed figure suddenly stood up.

The servant sitting cross-legged beside him could not help but ask in confusion,

“Master, what happened?”

“Tie Hu’s spirit body was destroyed.”

“What?”

The servant immediately turned pale with fright.

“Tie Hu’s spirit body’s cultivation had already reached its peak. He’s just one step away from stepping into the Xiantian realm and becoming a grandmaster spirit body.

“If the library didn’t have a great grandmaster martial artist or a spiritual cultivator above the grandmaster rank, it would be impossible to destroy him!”

“It should be that guy who ruined my plan last time and killed the mutated grandmaster star beast with one strike.”

“The place he attacked last time was also near the library. Could it be someone in the library?”

“I don’t know for now, but there’s an 80 percent chance. If he really is guarding the library, then the map can’t be obtained. Looks like we have to commence the last plan.”

…

On Ye Xiao’s side, after reading for an hour, Gu Hai finally arrived.

That guy was newly married and had many things to do. When he walked, he seemed to be in high spirits.

“Old Ye, I just went over to Old Yang’s side to apply for my resignation. He said that you’ve been promoted and made a fortune.”

“My salary has raised a little but I have to work two more days a month. If I calculate it by counting the overtime I work on weekends, my salary hasn’t actually increased much.”

“Think about it. No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat. Speaking of which, did anything happen when you sent Qin Yuyan back yesterday?”

“What should have happened?”

“Of course, it’s to discuss the philosophy of life. At the same time, it’s to train your body and contribute to the great cause of increasing the population of our country.”

“You’re thinking too much.”

“Old Ye, you can’t do this. You have to stand up! It’s a waste of God’s gift.”

Ye Xiao glanced at Gu Hai in annoyance.

“Can’t you think of anything else other than that kind of thing?”

Gu Hai’s face hardened.

“Old Ye, you don’t know how to appreciate a good person’s kindness. If we weren’t good friends, would I be able to encourage such a good thing?

“Qin Yuyan was a standard fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman. She is also a martial arts genius. Moreover, she kept a clean slate and had never had a boyfriend since she was young.

“If you married her, you would wake up happy every day. How many years less would you have to work hard for? You wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. You would still have someone to take care of you. Your life would be so beautiful.

“Don’t be unappreciative and let go of such a good marriage opportunity.”

“Alright, don’t worry so much. You’ve become an old nagging woman after getting married. Did you get into the garrison team? How many points did you get?”

“…”

“Even if we don’t talk about the results, we’re still good friends.”

“Did you kneel?”

Gu Hai nodded.

“My cultivation level is a little low. My parents don’t want me to go to the front line, so I wasted a lot of time. However, my father-in-law has spent money to make some arrangements. He’s practically a veteran in the garrison team, so the higher-ups will still give him some face. I’ll settle it tonight and go to work tomorrow.”

“That’s good. After going to the garrison team, it’s not going to be the same as here in the library. The garrison team has to deal with the criminal martial artist, but they also have to be on guard against the star beasts and the evil spirits. It’s always good to be careful.”

“Understood. I’ll take my leave first. We’ll keep in touch when we have time.”

“Take care on the way.”

There were a lot of trivial matters in the morning. Ye Xiao only managed to read a few books, so he did not manage to find a single basic cultivation technique.

However, when he went to the cafeteria for lunch, his cultivation had inadvertently advanced again. That made him feel quite good.

Long before Gu Hai got married, he had already advanced to Xiantian second grade. In a month’s time, he had advanced again. Now that he had reached Xiantian third grade, he was already at the peak of the grandmaster rank.

If he advanced again, his cultivation would be able to successfully step into the great grandmaster realm.

After reaching the great grandmaster rank, one’s spiritual energy would also receive a huge boost.

When attacking, one would slightly add spiritual energy to the attack.

That was also one of the differences between a grandmaster and a great grandmaster.

Not only was there a huge difference in the amount of spiritual energy, but there was also a fundamental change in its usage.

Of course, Ye Xiao was not very interested in that because he was currently practicing a top-tier spiritual technique like the Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery. The cultivation techniques that the divine soul’s Golden Book had synthesized were all extremely high-quality. With just a spiritual technique, he should be able to cross realms to fight.

Even if it was the spiritual energy of a grandmaster, he would not take it for granted.

What he cared about was that after reaching the great grandmaster rank, a person would be able to break free from the restraints of gravity, step on spiritual energy, and soar into the sky.

He would fly!

That was a wish that all humans had. To completely break free from the shackles of that world to reach an unprecedented and unimaginable realm.

After lunch, he returned to the library.

However, he did not read a book. Instead, he used the library’s search engine to inquire about King El.

Last time, because he did not pay attention to the tiger demon that had entered the garrison, a small-scale beast calamity had occurred, making them very dangerous.

That time, an even more powerful evil spirit had come. The thing it was looking for was definitely more important than what the tiger demon had done last time.

The computer system searched and very quickly found an ancient book. It was not too old. A book that was called The Legend Under the Starry Sky from more than 140 years ago. The author was not stated, so there must be some special reason.

However, there was a small part of the records regarding King El.

Ye Xiao flipped to the first page. What he saw was an illustration that still had a great sense of relevancy. It was a group of martial artists resisting the invasion of the star beast army. It looked quite tragic.

Then, the second page was the main text.

“That was a spring where the plants were reviving and everything was reborn….”
