However, it seemed that the cultivation techniques on the third floor couldn't attract Ye Guichen at all.
"What are Immortal-level cultivation techniques like?" Unconsciously, Yu Wen Dou felt some anticipation and took a couple of steps forward, wanting to sneak a peek from behind Ye Guichen.
But just as he got three steps behind Ye Guichen, an eerie force suddenly burst from the bookshelf, striking Yu Wen Dou.
Boom!
Yu Wen Dou was instantly hurled far away.
Hearing the sound, Ye Guichen turned his head to look behind him, seeing Yu Wen Dou awkwardly sprawled on the ground. He couldn't help but ask strangely, "Senior Yu Wen, are you alright?"
Yu Wen Dou felt extremely embarrassed.
He finally understood now that the cultivation techniques on the second floor simply wouldn't let him look.
"Ahem, no worries, just accidentally fell." Yu Wen Dou wished he could find a crack to crawl into as he got up, waving his hand.
Fortunately, Ye Guichen wasn't aware of what had happened, otherwise, even if there were a crack, it'd be better to crawl into it on the spot.
Too humiliating.
Ye Guichen looked at the second floor's cultivation techniques for over ten minutes, but eventually shook his head and put them back.
Then, Ye Guichen reached out his hand to touch the cultivation techniques on the first floor.
The now upright Yu Wen Dou immediately widened his eyes, looking expectantly at Ye Guichen.
"No way? Could he really take out the cultivation techniques from the first floor?" Yu Wen Dou felt his breath halt.
Meanwhile, as Ye Guichen's hand reached towards the first floor, he clearly felt something seemed to be stopping him.
A bizarre force seemed to form around the book, preventing Ye Guichen's hand from reaching in.
"Eh?"
Ye Guichen finally became intrigued.
Although he had previously sensed this force, he didn't think much of it.
Now it seemed that this force had always been there, just not unleashed.
"Haha, interesting, who would've thought a small Book Collection Pavilion still hides many mysteries!" Ye Guichen felt somewhat defiant.
The books on the lower six floors might be treasures for others, but for Ye Guichen, they weren't of much use.
Judging by the cultivation techniques on the lower six floors, Ye Guichen could guess that the techniques got stronger as they went up.
So now, Ye Guichen eagerly anticipated the techniques on the highest level.
"Trying to stop me? Haha, let's see if you have the ability!" Ye Guichen suddenly exerted force in his hand, his True Qi flowing rapidly, and unconsciously circulated the Esoteric Sect techniques he had practiced.
As the Esoteric Sect techniques circulated, Ye Guichen's aura also continuously ascended.
Yu Wen Dou, who clearly sensed Ye Guichen's aura changing, was also taken aback.
"No way? Is he competing with that book?" Yu Wen Dou simply couldn't bring himself to look away.
With the circulation of the Esoteric Sect techniques, a familiar force actually emanated from the book.
In the next instant, a wondrous scene unfolded.
Swoosh!
The book that originally lay quietly on the bookshelf suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and flew up on its own, landing in Ye Guichen's hand.
"What?"
Yu Wen Dou was dumbfounded.
Where had he seen such a spectacle?
Although he knew both the bookshelf and the cultivation techniques inside were extraordinary, where had he seen a book willingly fall into someone else's hands?
The feeling was almost like a child asking to be picked up.
As the book fell into Ye Guichen's hand, the strange force quickly dissipated.
Not only that, but the originally stationary bookshelf even began to tremble.
Just a few seconds later.
Swoosh!
The bookshelf inexplicably caught fire, instantly ablaze.
"Ah ah ah, what's going on?" Yu Wen Dou was petrified.
This was the most treasured possession of the Tingxue Pavilion; how could it catch fire?
Ye Guichen was also startled, quickly retreating a few steps.
But the shelves burned too fiercely.
In the blink of an eye, they turned to ashes.
The six books on the shelf had also completely vanished.
Ye Guichen's mouth twitched as he awkwardly looked at Yu Wen Dou, "I, I really didn't do anything wrong."
Yu Wen Dou hadn't expected such a scene to unfold, suddenly feeling heartache, "Ye, Mr. Ye..."
Countless words, yet he realized he owed Ye Guichen so much, he couldn't even find a word of reproach.
"Actually, the wood used for this bookshelf comes from the millennial sea wood in the Chaos Sea, which reportedly gained spirit from being nurtured by the Chaos Sea. Perhaps it felt it no longer had a purpose."
Yu Wen Dou had no choice but to console himself this way.
Since the incident had already happened, Ye Guichen didn't know what to say either, "Ahem, don't worry, I'll compensate you all."
Yu Wen Dou glanced at the cultivation technique in Ye Guichen's hand, sensing that Ye Guichen probably wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue cultivating, he quickly found an excuse to leave.
Once Yu Wen Dou left, Ye Guichen immediately sat cross-legged and began examining the book in his hand.
It turned out to be a technique called the Fire Control Technique, which closely resembled one of the Esoteric Sect's 108 techniques, the Different Fire Technique.
However, at present, Ye Guichen's cultivation realm seemed too low to simultaneously awaken the 108 techniques, even unable to view or perform the Fire Control Technique.
In contrast, this Fire Control Technique was perfectly suited for his cultivation.
According to the records in the Fire Control Technique, this cultivation technique was only usable below the Divinity Transformation Realm, while it was considered an Immortal-level technique, due to it being just a fragment, its use was limited.
Nevertheless, this Fire Control Technique seemed to be specifically aimed at the techniques of the Tingxue Pavilion, appearing to be the nemesis of all its techniques.
