Chapter 216: Chapter 140 Xie Lingfeng’s Fame Spreads to the Seven-Star Study Palace_2

Fu Yuntian nodded and said, “Of course, follow me.”

He walked toward the inner court of the Seven-star Study Palace, with Xu Yan closely following behind him.

The other Martial Artists, for the most part, did not follow; they did not have the qualification to go and could only leave for Seven-Star City to spread the news of what they witnessed today.

This youth, he’s too monstrously talented!

He defeated ten peak Grandmasters of the Seven-star Study Palace alone.

Throughout the Inner Domain, it’s probably hard to find a second such monstrously talented youth.

Cold Autumn followed behind, the youth prodigy of the Sword Dao almost becoming his idol of worship; he must seize the opportunity to befriend him.

If he could receive some guidance from him, his own Sword Dao would surely make significant progress!

The Seven-star Study Palace was in an uproar, a youth had breached through the ninth stage of the martial platform, defeated Grandmaster Ding Yan with a single sword strike, and conquered ten peak Grandmasters alone.

The countless disciples were all astounded. From where had such a heaven-defying talent emerged, to be so monstrously talented!

They flocked toward the Library Pavilion, wanting to catch a glimpse of the youth’s grace.

At the entrance of the Library Pavilion, students of the Seven-star Study Palace who were well-informed and nearby had already gathered, and they saw the handsome youth following the Great Supervisory Teacher Fu.

Following him were Ding Yan and several great instructors.

And behind them were a dozen outsider prodigies, all of whom had tried their hand at the martial platform.

“Young friend, although you’ve broken through the ninth stage of the martial platform, the ninth floor of the Library Pavilion requires a certain status to ascend. Otherwise, you can only view the collections below the eighth floor.”

“May I know how to address you, young friend?” asked Fu Yuntian with a smile as he stopped in front of the Library Pavilion.

Xu Yan looked up at the tall building. This was the Seven-star Study Palace’s Library Pavilion, housing many Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, as well as numerous annotations by predecessors on Martial Arts.

Of course, he believed this was not the true core collection of the Seven-star Study Palace.

Even the ninth floor was not the core collection, but it nonetheless stored many rare Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, even some that had been lost to the outside world.

“I’ve come to take the essence and integrate it into myself. This place is already sufficient. However, I wonder what level of techniques the ninth floor includes.

“The Seven-star Study Palace has a longstanding heritage, hosting a group of Martial Arts scholars. I wonder if there are any genuine Martial Arts inheritances?

“I should find an opportunity to discuss Martial Arts with them. Perhaps I could gain some insights.

“After all, learning by analogy is key.”

Thinking thus, Xu Yan asked, “What Cultivation Techniques are recorded on the ninth floor?”

Fu Yuntian did not conceal anything and said, “Some secret techniques lost to the outer world, such as those that cause self-injury to drastically enhance one’s strength, and also others that harm others for personal gain, such as life-taking techniques, methods of refining essence blood for one’s own use, and so on.

“These techniques are not suitable for dissemination, for fear they might lead to killing, but they also contain some special insights, ultimately being some side paths of Martial Arts.

“That’s why they have not been destroyed.

“Of course, apart from these, the ninth floor also holds many legitimate secret techniques and Cultivation Techniques, so not just anyone can enter the ninth floor.”

Xu Yan understood; so that was it.

His thoughts turned to demonic sect techniques, like those practiced by Xue Wuxin, which involved absorbing others’ essence blood through evil methods.

Consequently, Xu Yan bowed with his hands clasped and said, “I see. My name is Xie Lingfeng, should I be able to ascend to the ninth floor?”

Fu Yuntian smiled in a way that said he knew as much. His guess had not been off; in today’s Inner Domain, such a prodigy of the Sword Dao could only be none other than Xie Lingfeng.

The multitude of Seven-star Study Palace students were all deeply shaken. Was this the Sword Venerate Cliff’s millennium sword prodigy?

Truly, his power was unparalleled!

The Sword Venerate Cliff, indeed the number one Sword Dao Sect in the Inner Domain.

“So it’s Xie Lingfeng, no wonder!”

“Yes, I should have guessed it was him.”

“Hey, I just heard that Xie Lingfeng visited the Wushuang Pavilion without spending a single Spirit Crystal, and he even met the famed beauty of the Wushuang Pavilion.”

“Hiss! How envious! To visit the Wushuang Pavilion without spending money, is this the treatment of an exceptional prodigy?”

“It’s not just about being an exceptional prodigy, look at his handsome features; which girl wouldn’t be moved? I’m so envious!”

The motor of Seven-star Study Palace students engaged in fervent discussions, filled with envy, jealousy, admiration, and even love.

The name Xie Lingfeng spread through the Seven-star Study Palace like a whirlwind.

But Cold Autumn was dumbfounded.

Brother Xie?

Impossible!

Could this person be impersonating Brother Xie?

Where did he get the guts!

At that moment, Cold Autumn wanted to step forward to expose him, but then he thought, “If I expose him and he’s not Brother Xie, wouldn’t that mean there’s someone in this world who outshines our Sword Venerate Cliff in the way of the sword?

“Moreover, this person didn’t claim to be from the Sword Venerate Cliff. What if he says it’s just a coincidence of the same name?

“No, that can’t be right. Looking at him, he’s not the least bit worried about the Sword Venerate Cliff finding out, not worried about the brothers finding out. Could it be that he’s acquainted with Brother Xie?

“I mustn’t act rashly or hastily. I need to inform Brother Xie!”

Having thought this, Cold Autumn hastily left. He needed to send a message to Brother Xie, informing him that someone might be impersonating him here.

“So it is Xie young friend. Naturally, you can go to the ninth floor, please follow me!”

Fu Yuntian nodded with a smile.

Xu Yan was overjoyed and thought to himself, “Brother Xie’s reputation is indeed very useful. This time I’ve helped spread his fame. Brother Xie should be quite pleased when he finds out, right?”

Following Fu Yuntian, he entered the collection pavilion.

“Would the young friend go directly to the ninth floor, or take a look level by level?”

Fu Yuntian asked.

“Can I come to browse anytime, regardless of when?”

Xu Yan glanced at the densely packed bookshelves, unaware of how many books there were.

“Those who have passed through the martial demonstration platform have one year’s time to browse here whenever they wish,”

Fu Yuntian replied.

“Then to the ninth floor, to look from top to bottom,”

Xu Yan pondered before speaking.

The too common, too basic martial arts tomes were almost of no use to him.

Of course, exceptions were not excluded.

But the higher the level of the book, the more valuable it must be, the more he could gain from it.

While walking towards the ninth floor, Xu Yan said, “I’ve heard that the Seven-star Study Palace has a group of martial arts scholars, all experts in martial arts. I would like to discuss the martial arts with them, may I?”

Fu Yuntian raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and nodded, “Yes!”

Considering Xu Yan’s monstrous talent, perhaps he had extraordinary insights into martial arts.

Upon reaching the ninth floor, there weren’t many bookshelves, and the number of books was significantly less.

“Feel free to browse as you wish,”

Fu Yuntian said as he sat down on a chair.

Xu Yan nodded, casually walked to a bookshelf, pulled out a book and started flipping through it.

The book was copied, not original, yet even the copied version had been around long enough to have turned yellow.

This was a martial arts secret technique.

It was considered lost in the outside world, a method that involved damaging one’s own essence and foundation to burst forth with strength surpassing one’s own for a brief moment.

Xu Yan looked through it and shook his head slightly, it was too poor.

He put it down and continued to browse.

Fu Yuntian watched Xu Yan the whole time, noticing how quickly he went through a book, soon finishing one and putting it down to start another.

Most of the tomes elicited a head shake from him.

He deemed them not up to par!

“A true prodigy!”

Fu Yuntian marveled inwardly.

Sword Venerate Cliff had produced another prodigy.

Time passed.

Xu Yan had browsed through more than half of the ninth floor’s books—various secret techniques and cultivation methods. However, almost none caught his eye.

“They are all too weak, and quite ordinary.

“However, not entirely without merit. If I sort through them, perhaps I can derive some martial techniques.”

Xu Yan put down a tome.

“I would like to discuss martial arts with those martial arts scholars, to verify with each other.”

Xu Yan looked at Fu Yuntian.

“Good!”

Fu Yuntian nodded and stood up, “Give me a moment.”

He then floated away.

Xu Yan continued to browse through the books while he waited.

He was quite eager to see if these scholars from the Seven-star Study Palace had unique understandings of martial arts and whether any of them had cultivated the true martial arts.

The sound of footsteps on stairs grew louder as more than a dozen Grandmaster martial artists arrived.

Xu Yan turned his head to look, and his brow couldn’t help but furrow. Why were they all Grandmaster-level martial artists?

Although they were peak Grandmasters, there wasn’t a Great Grandmaster among them.

Fu Yuntian spoke with a smile, “Grandmasters already represent the pinnacle of martial arts. As for Great Grandmasters, they do not participate in discussions on martial arts.”

Xu Yan nodded, understanding that Fu Yuntian hadn’t said it explicitly, but he also understood that Great Grandmaster martial arts scholars wouldn’t come to discuss martial arts with someone of his junior standing.

If it hadn’t been for his astonishing strength on his way here, and having entered using Xie Lingfeng’s reputation, perhaps even these martial arts scholars of Grandmaster level wouldn’t have come to see him.

“Please, Brother Xie,”

The assembly of martial arts scholars sat cross-legged, their expressions solemn.

It was clear to see their obsession with martial arts.

Out of ten, nine had dark circles under their eyes!
