Chapter 654 - 356: The Secret of the Avatar
Celestial Sword Peak, as the name suggests, stands proudly at the summit of the mountains, like a sharp sword pointing directly to the sky. The peak is extraordinarily steep, as if tempered by countless years of Sword Intent. Every rock exudes an indestructible will. The towering mountain seems to connect with the heavens, giving one an illusion of touching the sky.
The clouds atop the peak are not static but constantly rolling and surging, as if countless Sword Qi are shuttling within. These Sword Qi crisscross, forming fierce storms that deter casual approach. Even cultivators with accomplished cultivation must tread carefully, fearing harm from these Sword Qi. Here, Sword Intent dominates Celestial Sword Peak, existing everywhere and always, making one feel the unique aura of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
The Scripture Pavilion is located at the top of such a Sword Intent-filled peak, the most tranquil place on the entire Celestial Sword Peak. It is an ancient and elegant building made of rare Spirit Wood, emitting a faint woody fragrance. The pavilion doors are tightly closed, engraved with ancient Spirit Patterns, containing the scriptures accumulated by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect for tens of thousands of years.
Besides the Scripture Pavilion, other buildings also exist on Celestial Sword Peak, each with its distinct characteristics, harmoniously integrated with the surrounding natural environment.
A Sword Tower soars into the clouds, as if a Giant Sword thrust into the sky. It is the venue for disciples to compete daily for sect rankings and gain sect benefits. At this moment, hundreds of disciples gather on the plaza below the Sword Tower, waiting to enter and compete to ascend the tower. Through competition with other disciples inside, they aim to enhance their Sword Skills.
Next to the Sword Tower is another building—the Blessed Spirit Palace, a solemn and majestic palace primarily used to pay tribute to the sect’s ancestors and outstanding disciples of past generations. The Spirit Palace is thriving with incense, and many disciples gather to do homework and discuss Dao.
Not far from the Blessed Spirit Palace is another structure—the Sword Fighting Platform, a vast open ground with a towering stone platform at the center. The Sword Fighting Platform is where sect disciples spar and test their Swordsmanship and strength. On the Sword Fighting Platform, two disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect can be seen wielding Long Swords, their moves as swift as the wind or as still as a maiden, competing in Swordsmanship and cultivation. Sword Qi intersects on the platform, engaging in an intense sword duel.
...
Li Mu’s gaze wandered over the summit of Celestial Sword Peak, capturing the majestic buildings, swirling clouds, and the spectacles of intersecting Sword Qi. His figure moved, transforming into a streak of sword light, flying straight towards the Scripture Pavilion.
The Scripture Pavilion is located at the very top of Celestial Sword Peak, imposing, ancient, and mysterious. When Li Mu arrived at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, the first thing he saw were two Divinity Transformation Realm gatekeeper disciples, standing guard at the doorway, one on either side.
"This is the Scripture Pavilion’s restricted area. To enter, please present your Token," one of the gatekeeper disciples said upon seeing Li Mu approach, immediately stepping forward to gesture a greeting.
Li Mu nodded slightly, reaching for the Elder Token at his waist, which represented his identity. The token was inscribed with the Sect Emblem of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, recording his identity.
As soon as the token was revealed, a beam of light shot forth from it, illuminating the entire entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.
Seeing the light from the token, a trace of respect flickered in the gatekeeper disciples’ eyes. They instantly realized that the token’s owner was an esteemed Honored Guest Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, qualified to enter the Scripture Pavilion and browse High Tier scriptures.
"Elder, please!" The gatekeeper disciple respectfully bowed, stepping aside to make way.
Li Mu nodded in acknowledgment, stepping into the Scripture Pavilion. Immediately, a rich Spiritual Qi, imbued with the scent of books, washed over him. This was the aroma emanating from the countless tomes within the Scripture Pavilion.
The first thing he saw was row after row of tall bookshelves filled with various books, some yellowed, some old, exuding a sense of historical vicissitudes. At this time, many cultivators inside the pavilion were already browsing ancient books, their minds deeply engaged.
"Greetings, senior. I am the Scriptures Attendant—Xu Shaoqi. The Scripture Pavilion has seven floors, with millions of books, encompassing all sorts, making it difficult to search. If you’re looking for something specific, I can assist," a Nascent Soul Cultivator soon appeared before Li Mu, respectfully introducing himself.
"Hmm!" Li Mu pondered briefly and replied, "I want to learn more about the Chaos Secret Realm and Divinity Transformation Avatar cultivation-related texts."
Hearing this, Xu Shaoqi immediately responded, "Understood, senior. The texts on the Chaos Secret Realm and Divinity Transformation Avatar cultivation are located on the third and fifth floors of the Scripture Pavilion. Please follow me, I’ll lead the way."
After speaking, he turned and led the way in front, guiding Li Mu towards the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Li Mu nodded and hurriedly followed.
Soon, they arrived on the third floor. The bookshelves here were even taller, and the books more numerous. Xu Shaoqi pointed to one of the bookshelves and said, "Senior, most of the texts on Divinity Transformation Avatar cultivation are placed on this bookshelf. You may choose according to your needs."
Li Mu nodded in understanding, then walked to the bookshelf and began to carefully select. His gaze swept over the bookshelf, and one title after another appeared before his eyes.
"The Celestial Dao’s Divinity Transformation Avatar," Li Mu picked up a book, opening it to look at the description. This was a text about the basics of Divinity Transformation Avatar cultivation, suitable for a cultivator like him who was just beginning to delve into Divinity Transformation Avatar cultivation.
"The Divinity Transformation’s Many Inferences Record," this was the title of another text, which detailed various methods and experiences in Divinity Transformation Avatar cultivation, greatly beneficial for broadening Li Mu’s cultivational insights.
