At a corner of Gantian Mountain’s Hanyan Palace, in a secluded building, Zong Yuan, Ruoshui, Chuxue, and Shi Ruolan it stood at one side.

Zong Shou stood in the center. His hand held a token. It was given by Wei Xu, that jade letter that could teleport ten thousand miles.

On it carved several mysterious marks whilst the back was the incantation to activate this item.

Zong Shou chanted it softly, following which the jade gave out a pale glow. In just a moment a spiritual light spread out, just nice covering the 4 people around. There were also 4 bits of pale light shooting up, searching out all over, until it touched the tokens in the hands of the 4 of them did it lock itself.

Zong Shou wasn’t surprised, Wei Xu gave him 4 spots so this teleportation jade could just teleport 4 people.

He was the owner of this treasure and could feel that when the 4 rays of light locked down, the power within the jade was also totally used up.

In the next instant, his body seemed to become illusionary, with shocking speed, he passed through the wooden walls, going past the forests, the giant mountains, the clouds, his eyes couldn’t keep up with it.

In a single breath, the scenery in front of his eyes had changed hundreds of time. In a blink of an eye who knows how many miles he teleported.

Zong Shou was slightly distracted, when he came to his senses he had already landed within a wooden building.

Chuxue felt giddy, her eyes had no anxiousness to it at all whilst Ruoshui and Zong Yuan both frowned, trying their best to recover from their dazed state.

Ruolan’s face was green and white. However, when she came back to her senses, she looked right away curiously at Zong Shou’s hand, like she wanted to understand the thing within.

Zong Shou was also looking however he was looking all around, only to see that this place was a corner of a giant-sized house.

Around him there were many different kinds of bookshelves, numerous types of books were laid out on it.

There was only some space where they were standing. Below the 5 of them was a complicated and exquisitely crafted spiritual formation.

“This is a book depository?”

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed with passion. The last time although he casually followed Wei Xu to the common people path vast habitat, strictly speaking, he had just spent several hours in that ancestral hall.

As for what it was outside he knew nothing about it. As for where the depository of the common people path was, he had never been to it.

“Young master this is the vast habitat? The spiritual energy here is thick as expected.”

Color finally appeared in Chuxue’s eyes. First she tried to use some soul power, however, she directed the heaven and earth spiritual energy around her to shake, her body was surrounded by different colors.

Seeing the situation, Chuxue was delighted, waving her hand in circles and bringing with it the seven-colored spiritual light.

However a moment later she saw Zong Yuan and Ruoshui give her a weird gaze.

Chuxue was startled and recalled what place this was. She hurriedly stopped and cutely spat out her tongue.

Zong Shou didn’t care, directly walking towards the stairs. This book depository had a total of 4 levels, it was a thousand feet wide and had 4 staircases. The books within number close to a million.

Along the way looking at the labels of the names of the books, a light flashed within Zong Shou’s eyes. He wanted to immediately take some to have a good read.

Out of the books, he had already seen thousands which were lost in the future.

A portion of which was ones he searched about in the last life but had no affinity with.

When he reached the bottom layer, Zong Shou was about to walk to the gate when his footsteps stopped. His eyes squinted as he looked to the side.

It was an old man, his face was shriveled up and dry as he sat on a wooden chair. His hair was neatly combed and he had a few strands of a mustache on his chin.

At this moment he smiled as he looked over.

However before this when he was walking down his spiritual sense didn’t notice his presence. In his spiritual sense, this old man was like a dead person.

Zong Shou took in a deep breath, following which he solemnly bowed and cupped his fist, “I dare ask senior…”

When his words landed the old man waved his sleeves, “There is no need to be so polite. I am just a protector of the depository. My name is Hanfang, you can just call me senior brother Han.”

Zong Shou’s brows rose up, so this person was the same generation as him. However, he became even more respectful still bowing, “Greetings senior brother Han.”

Seeing him suddenly appear in this depository and not be surprised, he knew his identity.

To be the same generation as him who was a common people path second-generation direct disciple, he was at least 8 thousand years old, even ten thousand years ago during the cloud desolate era.

To be able to live till now… his cultivation was not low.

Seeing the situation, Hanfang laughed, “6 people of the common people path 2nd generation direct line, they were always so arrogant and didn’t follow rules, not caring about elders and seniority. Who knew the last one would finally be polite.”

Zong Shou’s brows rose up, he couldn’t tell if Hanfang’s words were praise or an insult. Then he saw his eyes turn solemn, “You have inherited Senior master Lin Xuanshuang’s matter, your senior brother Wei Xu has already told me. At that time I felt he was too rash, how could the identity of 2nd generation direct disciple be so easily given to others. Now that I meet you, I felt that that little brat made some sense. I heard that not long ago you inherited the legacy of Dragon Shadow? The puzzle set by that person on Dragon Gathering Mountain I had personally went to take a look and it was just to create problems for people. It is really difficult for you to break it. In this hundred years in terms of sword path talent and luck, you are top 3. Naturally this time it can be considered the good luck of that Dragon Shadow.”

“I was just lucky.”

Zong Shou stood straight and replied with a flat tone. He didn’t feel delighted from Hanfang’s praise but was instead curious about the old man’s last sentence.

“Senior brother, it should be my blessing to be his student, why does Senior brother Han that?”

That Hanfang burst out into a laugh and shook his hand, “I didn’t mean to insult him, just speaking the truth. Do you know that the legacy of that nine dragon shadow sword was a heart knot of your master’s?”

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed slightly, his eyes became more and more confused. Looking at Dragon Shadow’s arrangement on the mountain it didn’t look like he cared much about his sword technique legacy. The situation looked like he wanted to reject everyone from his door.

“Are you finding what he did at Dragon Gathering Mountain weird?”

He saw through Zong Shou’s thoughts. His tone was leisurely, “He is exceptionally stubborn and in the past, to vent his anger, he left the inner and outer dragon gate. In the end, no matter how people persuaded him, he didn’t want to change it. He said that he didn’t care about normal talents, only top sword path talents could inherit his nine dragon shadow sword and perfect it.”

Zong Shou continued to listen on quietly, this senior brother Han still hadn’t explained why Dragon Shadow would be so anxious about his successor.

“…I remember that Dragon Shadow martial saint had entered the saint realm 9700 years ago. 6500 years ago he reached the saint realm peak, he was just one step from breaking through and facing the tribulation. However, he was unable to cross it in the next 6000 years. Currently, his lifespan is left with 30 years!”

Zong Shou’s pupils constricted, based on what Dragon Shadow said, the day the god realm true dragon escaped would be 30 years later.

That Hanfang’s voice continued.

“As for the reason why it was because he still had a heart knot that was unsolved. He was afraid that if he failed to pass the tribulation the sword technique he had spent so much effort to create would have no one inheriting it, and he would be unable to achieve a state of not caring about anything. Which was why during the 6 thousand years he didn’t dare to take that step. That was why I said that he was lucky. He was originally about to fall, now he has a chance to live. That Lingyun Sect ancestor is also at the peak of the saint realm but do you know why they fear him so much? A person whose life is about to end naturally has nothing to worry about. There are some rules he naturally didn’t have to care about…”

As he heard that Zong Shou’s expression was filled with loss. He also felt weird why his senior brother Han would know about this matter.

That Hanfang stopped his words, with no intention to explain. He shifted his gaze away, onto the 4 people behind Zong Shou.

“Your Senior brother Wei left you 4 inner disciple spots and you used them all like this? You didn’t feel your heartache at all. Oh? A nine tail shadow body, an unparalleled general seed. They do have the rights to enter my common people path.”

Looking at Zong Yuan and Ruoshui, following which Hanfang exclaimed, grabbing out with his hand and sucking Shi Ruolan into his palm. His finger touching the middle of her brows, only to see a snow colored pattern spread.

“Maniac lion snow seal? She is the empress of the six spirit snow lion?”

Zong Shou was originally thinking about his master. Taking him as a disciple, in a few years, he would try to breakthrough.

However, advancing to the end room needed to face a tribulation? Why hasn’t he heard about it before?

Hearing those words he came back to his senses and smiled, “Based on what people from her race said it is indeed the maniac lion snow seal, it is also the snow lion of the palm’s descendant.”

That old man sent several bits of internal energy into the body of Shi Ruolan, following which his expression changed slightly. Then he placed her down. However, he didn’t return her to Zong Shou, but instead directly placed her beside him.

“How about you give this girl to me to be my disciple?”

Zong Shou was startled, only coming back to his senses a while later. Thinking that his senior brother was direct. To want to make her his disciple, he most probably discovered something.

He was willing, he was worried about not being able to find someone to teach her. With this senior brother, he didn’t know was end realm or saint realm to teach her, but he was much stronger than him.

Ruolan was stunned. She looked fearfully and with a begging expression over.

Zong Shou gave her a consoling smile, following which his brows furrowed, “It isn’t that I am unwilling, but she is just too small. To be under senior brother at such a young age, I am afraid it isn’t suitable. It is also unfair for the others in the sect.”

Hanfang was annoyed, “You are just 15 and can become my common people path 2nd generation direct disciple! With her as my student, she can at most be a second-generation core disciple. What isn’t suitable?”

Scolding a few sentences, he saw that Zong Shou was holding a token in his hand, distractedly playing around with it. He instantly understood, scolding out once more, “Don’t you just want a few inner sect spots? I will just give it to you!”
