134: Chapter 134 The Library, Ancient-Level Cultivation Techniques
This array formation was refined by the Blood Devouring King using many precious natural treasures; even if someone at the peak of the Third Realm stepped into it, they would be refined by the formation and turned into a pool of blood.
Not only that, but there were also thousands of Second Realm ghosts within the formation that could attach themselves to the Ant Soldiers, allowing the Ant Soldiers to temporarily raise their strength to the Second Realm.
Although the Ant Soldiers would be discarded afterward, they were just consumables after all, and the Blood Devouring King had also taught the Ant Queen other cultivation techniques.
For example, the 【Blood Sacrifice Great Art】, where dead Ant Soldiers could actively sacrifice all their spiritual power and souls to the living Ant Soldiers, boosting the combat power of the Ant Soldiers. In this way, the more Ant Soldiers died, the stronger the remaining Ant Soldiers became.
Another example is the 【Life-Severing Art】, which consumes life force to fight, allowing for a one to two-fold increase in strength in a short time.
However, the Ant Queen just tilted its head, signaling this special child not to mess around by transmitting strange things to it, disturbing its sleep.
The Blood Devouring King also found this strange. Logically speaking, the Ant Queen's mental strength was so powerful, and it could use military tactics and formations, so its brain shouldn't be this stupid.
It could only wait for the Prison Emperor to return.
After being synthesized, the Blood Devouring King felt great respect for Chi Anlin in its heart, and after witnessing the laws, it regarded Chi Anlin as an existence above the Ancient Emperor.
The reason why he appeared relatively weak now must be because he was traveling through the mortal world.
——————
Carrying the still-slumbering Tian Yin, Chi Anlin walked toward the next palace.
Arriving at the next palace, Chi Anlin saw Ji Hongfei, who was browsing through cultivation techniques.
This palace was a library, and the shelves were full of cultivation techniques and martial arts.
However, every cultivation technique had a faint protective barrier on it, and one needed to shatter it to obtain the technique inside.
Ji Hongfei looked at Chi Anlin, nodded slightly, and said: "Brother Chi, the cultivation techniques here have restrictions. Some require strength to shatter the protective barrier, while others require one's own blood to attract them."
Originally, the Prison Emperor intended to scatter these cultivation techniques throughout the Blood Flame Secret Realm to choose a suitable target for possession, but before the plan could begin, an accident occurred.
Restrictions, huh. Chi Anlin nodded and walked toward another row of bookshelves, disappearing from Ji Hongfei's field of vision.
Was the reason he reached where he was today step by step because of his own steady, step-by-step cultivation?
No, he relied on cheating.
Facing these defensive barriers that required strength to break, Chi Anlin grabbed Xiao Xing.
"Ding, do you wish to perform Fusion on 【Gold Escape Treasure-Seeking Mouse】 and 【Red Star Protective Barrier】?"
Required blood energy: 20 million
Fusion success rate: 70%
Fusion time: 3 hours
Fusion effect: Possess the ability to construct a protective barrier, can enhance one's own defense.
Chi Anlin thought for a moment and selected Xiao Xing's aura and this protective barrier.
And the Fusion effect changed to: Possess the same source aura as the protective barrier, can pass through the protective barrier without obstruction.
Perfect, I am truly a genius.
Time is money. Chi Anlin spent tens of millions of blood energy to shorten the Fusion time to a few seconds, then used the breath concealing ring to mask Xiao Xing's aura before stuffing it into his pocket.
A few seconds later, Xiao Xing crawled out of his pocket. Chi Anlin placed it on the bookshelf, and this little guy indeed was not restricted by the protective barrier, directly touching the books.
"Xiao Xing, put all my books into the space ring!" Chi Anlin handed the storage ring to Xiao Xing, but Xiao Xing shook its head and held up three fingers.
"?"
"Three female mice, deal, hurry up."
Xiao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then walked swaggeringly on the bookshelf, putting the books one by one into the space ring.
Afterward, Chi Anlin walked back and said to Ji Hongfei: "Brother Ji, stop looking. Let's take all these cultivation techniques back to read slowly. Opportunities to enter the Blood Flame Secret Realm are rare, and we must seize the time to improve our physiques."
Hearing Chi Anlin's words, Ji Hongfei was still a bit puzzled for a moment. He turned his head and suddenly saw rows of empty bookshelves, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.
Chi Anlin's strength had actually reached this realm? One had to know that breaking a protective barrier not only required strength but also the purity of one's own spiritual energy. Even he had only broken the protective barrier of a Spirit Rank technique.
And in such a short time, Chi Anlin had actually looted the bookshelves clean!
Feeling Ji Hongfei's surprised gaze, Chi Anlin laughed: "My spirit beast is quite special; the protective barriers here have no effect on it."
Afterward, Ji Hongfei saw Xiao Xing, which was round and chubby like a hamster.
Regarding this spirit beast of Chi Anlin's, Ji Hongfei had originally thought that Chi Anlin had only contracted it as a spirit beast in the early stages of his cultivation because the little guy looked cute.
He didn't expect this monster beast to have such a special ability.
"Brother Chi's ability to cultivate spirit beasts is truly unparalleled. Not only does he have a War Body and an elf, but even this mouse is so special."
"Luck, just luck."
Soon, Xiao Xing swept the books on the shelves clean. Among them, there were 72 Spirit Rank books, 200 Xuan Rank books, 100 Earth Rank books, and 60 Heaven Rank books.
As for the books above Heaven Rank, they were floating separately on crystal pillars.
However, the protective barrier was still the Red Star Protective Barrier, so Xiao Xing was not restricted and jumped up directly.
【Roaring Thunder Cleansing Art】? Can give it to Mo Yu when I go back; this guy is of the thunder attribute.
【Golden Geng Sacred Art】. After taking out this book, Chi Anlin handed it directly to Ji Hongfei.
Dan Yunyao was a metal element Qi Cultivator and happened to need such a cultivation technique.
Ji Hongfei received the technique and initially intended to refuse, but thinking of Dan Yunyao, he finally accepted the technique with a thick skin.
"Many thanks, Brother Chi. Brother Chi seems to lack a suitable weapon. After I return to the Ji Family, I will have the clan elders forge one for you."
Chi Anlin shook his head and laughed: "No need to be so polite. As for weapons, my master has already prepared them for me. If Brother Ji treats me as a brother, don't worry about these small matters."
Ji Hongfei was stunned. He looked at Chi Anlin with a complex expression, opened his mouth, but in the end, didn't know what to say.
Growing up, because of his personality, he didn't have many friends, with only Dan Yunyao accompanying him by his side.
However, he had previously felt that he didn't need any brothers; they were nothing more than relationships of interest. If it really involved interests, it was very likely that they would turn against each other. Coupled with his own aloofness, Ji Hongfei became more and more fond of being alone.
"Many thanks..."
"Small matter. Brother Ji, you are a physical cultivator. See if there are any suitable cultivation techniques or martial arts among these for you."
Chi Anlin continued to loot the books in the library. Originally, he had planned to share some of these books with Ji Hongfei, but Ji Hongfei insisted on refusing.
If it weren't for Chi Anlin, he probably wouldn't have been able to obtain a suitable Monarch Rank technique, after all, the time for the Blood Flame Secret Realm to open was limited.
Chi Anlin did not continue to insist. Although he could not learn all these techniques, taking them out to exchange for resources or using them for spirit beast Fusion were both excellent choices.
After giving Ji Hongfei three Monarch Rank books, Chi Anlin still had twelve left.
As expected of an Ancient Emperor's accumulation. Chi Anlin looked up at the remaining jade pillars. On those jade pillars, there were still three Monarch Rank books.
And... the Ancient Rank cultivation technique floating on that final Pan-Dragon Giant Pillar!
