The sect of Tingxue Pavilion originally had thousands, but after this battle, only two to three hundred remain.
It can truly be said to be a devastating loss.
The entire sect is engulfed in an atmosphere of sorrow.
Yu Wen Dou, grateful for Ye Guichen's kindness, first arranged for all the barbarians to be taken care of, then invited Ye Guichen into the core area of Tingxue Pavilion.
This is the Book Collection Pavilion of Tingxue Pavilion, where all the important Cultivation Techniques are stored.
Originally, only the Pavilion Master of Tingxue Pavilion could enter.
Now that Yu Wen Dou invites Ye Guichen in, it shows the depth of his sincerity.
"Mr. Ye, I have no way to repay the grace you've shown to Tingxue Pavilion. You can choose any Cultivation Technique here, and I promise I won't frown even a bit."
Since Yu Wen Dou wants to win over and repay Ye Guichen, he is willing to pay a big price.
Ye Guichen did not refuse, nodded lightly, and began searching in the Book Collection Pavilion.
Although he already has enough Cultivation Techniques, there's a saying that having many skills doesn't weigh one down.
If he could find a higher cultivation technique, it would naturally be worth learning.
The Book Collection Pavilion consists of three levels in total.
The bottom level contains the cultivation techniques for ordinary disciples, which hold no attraction for Ye Guichen.
The middle level is for some gifted disciples and the middle tier; normally, borrowing these requires the Pavilion Master's consent.
As for the top level, no one but the Pavilion Master can enter.
This time, Yu Wen Dou directly led Ye Guichen into the third level.
However, after entering the third level, Yu Wen Dou did not proceed further but stood silently by the side watching Ye Guichen.
This third level was crafted by previous generations of Tingxue Pavilion elders through great mana, serving the purpose of identifying all things.
All of Tingxue Pavilion's most important items are hidden here.
If Tingxue Pavilion were really destroyed and if those Ghost Cultivators or Corpse Cultivators entered here, this third level would self-destruct, completely annihilated.
Of course, this is under the premise that someone attempts to forcibly take something from the third level.
In other words, if one is not recognized, no one could take away a single Cultivation Technique from here.
Bringing Ye Guichen to this third level was Yu Wen Dou's way to test Ye Guichen.
Even though Ye Guichen is formidable, whether he can take away a Cultivation Technique from here is unknown.
After all, this third level embodies the painstaking efforts of past elders.
If the elders of Tingxue Pavilion do not recognize Ye Guichen, then everything is in vain.
Just like when Yu Wen Dou first entered the third level of the Book Collection Pavilion, he couldn't take a single book with him.
Later, as his cultivation improved, he seemed to gradually earn the third level's recognition and could access more books.
Yet even now, Yu Wen Dou still cannot access most of the books on this third level.
Those books appear to be under some sort of confinement, no matter what method Yu Wen Dou uses, they cannot be opened.
Of course, forcing them open would only result in the Cultivation Techniques self-immolating.
Unaware of Yu Wen Dou's schemes, Ye Guichen walked straight in.
There was only one bookshelf here.
The bookshelf was divided into seven layers, and there was one book on the first layer, a total of seven books.
The books looked unremarkable but conveyed an eerie feeling.
As Ye Guichen approached the bookshelf, before even reaching out, he vaguely felt as if a pair of eyes was watching him.
"Oh? Is there someone else here?"
Ye Guichen raised an eyebrow, scrutinized things carefully, but saw nothing.
He then reached out his hand towards the first layer of the bookshelf.
It was a Cultivation Technique called "Snow Drifting Across Thousands of Miles."
Ye Guichen easily opened it, discovering it to be an upper-grade Ling-level Cultivation Technique.
If cultivated, it could turn lands within a thousand miles into his weapons, with tremendous combat power.
The Cultivation Technique Yu Wen Dou used earlier seemed to be this very technique.
But this Cultivation Technique held no allure for Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen merely glanced at it and then put it back.
Then, he placed his hand on the second layer.
Not far away, Yu Wen Dou, watching Ye Guichen, immediately felt his heart tighten.
The first time, Yu Wen Dou didn't even open a book on the first layer, yet now Ye Guichen casually opened the first layer's books and even reached for the second layer.
What does this mean?
To date, Yu Wen Dou had only opened the books on the second layer.
Could it be that Ye Guichen could open the second layer's books on his first try?
Before Yu Wen Dou could gather his thoughts, Ye Guichen had already shaken his head and put the book from the second layer back, apparently dissatisfied.
Yu Wen Dou swallowed instinctively, already somewhat shocked internally.
Could it be?
Watching Ye Guichen reach for the third layer's book and then put it back.
It seemed as though there were no hindrances all the way to the sixth layer, where Ye Guichen's gaze lingered a bit longer, showing an intrigued expression.
"Strange, have the restrictions left by the predecessors here become useless?" Observing Ye Guichen reach the sixth layer without any obstacles, Yu Wen Dou couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.
He knew that this seven-layer bookshelf was not an ordinary thing, painstakingly brought from the Chaos Sea by the predecessors years ago and refined.
The bookshelf alone was comparable to an Immortal Artifact, with its own consciousness.
The Cultivation Techniques on it grew more advanced with each layer.
It is said that the top three layers contain Immortal-level Cultivation Techniques, completely beyond the realm ordinary people can train in.
