Chapter 2225: How to Absorb the Information of These Books
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“This…” The two elders exchanged a glance.
After hesitating for several seconds, they finally nodded in agreement. They agreed to Gu Qiu’s request. Gu Qiu handed them a copper coin-like item. After accepting this item, the elders stepped to the side to allow An Lin through.
Gu Qiu looked at An Lin and said with a smile, “You only have one day. Make sure to cherish this time.”
“Thank you, Celestial Maiden Gu Qiu,” An Lin said with grat.i.tude.
He hadn’t imagined that Gu Qiu would step forward to help him at this critical time. The battle outside was so intense and enthralling, so why wasn’t Gu Qiu watching on with the others? Instead, she had followed him to the Library of Heavenly Books. Perhaps she was attracted to him?
It was evident that this token to enter the Library of Heavenly Books was extremely precious and difficult to obtain. Thus, he had to find a chance to repay Gu Qiu in the future.
An Lin walked into the Library of Heavenly Books.
Upon entering… he was immediately greeted by the sight of countless rows of densely packed bookshelves.
These bookshelves were arranged in a circular format, making the library look like it contained countless differently sized circles. Countless books were piled on top of these bookshelves. At a glance, An Lin estimated that there were at least ten million books on the first floor of the library alone. Thus, there were most likely more than one hundred million books in the entire nine floors of the library.
An Lin picked up a random book. This book was just slightly thicker than a piece of paper.
How much information could such a thin book contain?
The cover of the book was embossed with the golden words “The Beauty of Vocals”. Moreover, the author of this book was actually the Cloud Maiden…
Flipping open the book, the true intent of countless rhythms and vocal harmonies suddenly appeared in An Lin’s mind. Along with these, tens of thousands of sheets of music also appeared in his mind. These sheets also described all kinds of vocal techniques as well as all kinds of intent realms.
“This… this kind of mental projection…”
Waves surged through An Lin’s mind as his expression changed drastically.
He could detect a sense of familiarity from this kind of mental projection.
This was exactly the same as how the system interface was projected into his mind!
When he wanted to comprehend a certain vocal technique, the power of this mental projection would cause that technique to slowly seep into his mind, where it would eventually fuse together with his very being. It would become an innate skill of his.
This was extremely similar to how the system funneled power and abilities into him!
However, the power of this book was much slower than the system.
In any case, there was a huge advantage to using this kind of method. That was, the information could be delivered in terms of not only words, but also in terms of awareness, technical methods, spiritual methods, and Dao Realms. Once delivered, this information would be seared into one’s existence, where it wouldn’t be forgotten…
Perhaps the founder of the Library of Heavenly Books was the same person who had created the system in his mind?
An Lin turned his gaze to the dense pile of books before him again. Apart from these books, there was nothing else before him.
Is what the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess wants inside these books?
However, there were almost one hundred million books in this library. Even though An Lin was at the Dao Integration Stage, he could at most only read several hundred to several thousand books on a day. If he wanted to read and digest all of these books, the time required would simply be unimaginable.
It’s extremely difficult to increase the speed of reading and digesting this information…
Do I have to unleash my full power and use every iota of my energy? But if I do that, will the backlash of the Heavenly Dao of this world directly descend upon me?
An Lin furrowed his brows as he pondered over this. The books before him covered everything from astronomy to history and from immortal spells to arts. This was the culmination of knowledge from tens of thousands of tribes.
All of these books delivered information through that unique mental projection. It was as if there were a powerful being in the book funneling knowledge into his mind.
Will the transmission speed increase according to the state of the reader?
An Lin had noticed that the information had been transmitted at varying speeds just then. In fact, its speed would even change slightly according to his breathing patterns.
With this question in mind, An Lin silently activated his Five Elemental Body. His aura changed drastically as a golden halo materialized behind him.
An enormous amount of information instantly surged into his mind.
Delight spread across An Lin’s face. This method worked!
The speed of transmission had increased by tenfold!
Boom, boom, boom…
Heaven and earth suddenly started to tremor.
Even the bookshelves around him started to gently quiver.
An Lin was given a fright, thinking that he had unknowingly caused some trouble. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that these were actually shockwaves from the battle between the Dragon Emperor and the Red Empress.
An Lin’s expression became grave as he observed the battle outside.
It’s not looking good… Although the Red Empress has the buff from the eighth region, she’s still no match for the Dragon Emperor who has the power of light within him. She can’t hold on for much longer. To say nothing of a day, even fifteen minutes might be a struggle…
What other state is there? What other state will allow me to absorb this information quicker?
An Lin suddenly thought about his own darkness.
Darkness possessed the most terrifying ability to engulf matters. Combined with the mental projection of these books, would this lead to a miraculous result…?
An Lin hesitated for a moment before deciding to take a risk.
“Darkness, I hereby summon you in the name of the Heavenly Dao!”
A divine seal appeared on An Lin’s forehead. At the same time, a billowing black feather robe also materialized, appearing as if it could absorb all of the light from the surroundings.
Heaven and earth instantly became dark.
Only the countless floating books remained before An Lin.
The hidden formation in the Library of Heavenly Books suddenly lit up, yet it dimmed down just as quickly.
An Lin detected this change. Sure enough, the hostility of the hidden formation would fall dramatically if he entered the Library of Heavenly Books after obtaining permission. In fact, it would even recognize him as an ally. The formation wouldn’t unleash a backlash on him even if he used such a dangerous and powerful spell technique.
At this moment, the books before him had already become completely dull. Meanwhile, all of the information contained within these books had already been etched into his mind.
At this moment, An Lin understood all of the techniques regarding vocal singing. In fact, he could even imitate the singing techniques of tens of thousands of different species.
The speed is tens of thousands of times faster now…
There was a look of disbelief on An Lin’s face.
Not only that, but I can also…
Darkness spread into the surroundings, enveloping tens of thousands of books. And then hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions… In the end, darkness enveloped all of the books.
Boom!
A terrifying amount of information and techniques started to wildly surge into An Lin’s mind. One had to realize that each of these books represented the essence of a certain genre. This was information that even a Dao Integration Stage cultivator would need to spend several minutes digesting.
So, what kind of concept was the information from almost one hundred million books?
If it were any other G.o.d of Creation Stage divine being, this enormous amount of information might be enough to instantly blow their mind apart!
However, An Lin was different. After unleas.h.i.+ng his darkness, every part of An Lin’s body was like a black hole. Thus, he could rapidly engulf whatever information was thrown at him, regardless of how enormous the volume. He could accept all of this information, regardless of how profound or boundless the Dao Realm or true intent!
In the beginning, he had thought that he would need a long time to absorb all of this information. Right now, however, he had absorbed all of it in just one minute. He had comprehensively absorbed the essence of almost one hundred million books.
At this moment, An Lin could clearly appreciate the beauty and magnificence of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm’s civilizations. He could appreciate their boundless and beautiful art. At the same time, however, he also felt pain for the struggles and tragedies of the billions of beings.
To transform their own existence into this current form… Just what kind of immense despair had they faced? When one didn’t look at them, it was as if they were void and non-existent. They would only exist when one turned to look at them. This form of existence was already the greatest compromise…
There was no doubt that the civilization of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm had already been forced onto the edge of a cliff. Another step forward, and they would meet an eternal end.
Yet what the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess yearned to do was to absorb the broken Heavenly Dao and complete the final step that would push the last remaining land of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm into eternal destruction!
Indeed, the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess wanted to strip even the right to stand on the edge of the cliff away from them!
