Chapter 1916 Access To The Library

It was the early hours of morning and the sky had barely started to light up.

Over a hundred people could be seen drunk in the hall, with some having pa.s.sed out on the floor and the tables while some were still talking and laughing loudly.

Lin Mu was sitting near the head of the table and was right next to the Head Elder. Little Shrubby was also sleeping on his nap, having fallen asleep after having his fill.

As proposed before, the Head Elder had asked for a large banquet to be arranged and that was exactly what had happened. Lin Mu had taken advantage of it and had eaten as much as possible along with Little Shrubby.

And unlike the banquet with the Crown Prince and his companions, this one was a lot bigger and with many people. As such, Lin Mu also had to talk to others a lot more and conversed about various things. The juniors in the clan were very interested in talking about his win and asking how he had fought the others.

While the elders were instead interested in his skill with the formations and asked quite a lot. They were surprised to learn that Lin Mu's grasp on formations was quite good. It was unlike their understanding which had been taught to them through the systematic teaching of their clan.

Lin Mu had his own understanding of concepts as well as principles that he had devised.

The Head Elder was also chiming in from time to time, which benefited both parties at the same time. This led to Lin Mu actually having quite a fun time and made him desire even more.

'I'll be staying here for a while, so there is plenty of time for discussions.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Another hour pa.s.sed, and the people finally started to leave. Those who had pa.s.sed out drunk were either woken up or simply carried out by the others. And by the time half of the people had left, the Head Elder spoke.

"If you wish to rest, you can go too." The Head Elder spoke.

"It is fine. I'm not tired yet." Lin Mu shook his head.

"Ah, youthful vigor." Head Elder spoke while stroking his beard. "As much as I'd like to continue our discussion, I have to do a little work today and need to meet up with the council." He stated.

"That is fine. I can wait." Lin Mu replied.

At his reply, the Head Elder took out a jade token.

"Take this. It'll allow you free entry into our library and you can read whatever you want there. I believe you'll like that." The Head Elder offered.

"Oh?! This will be perfect." Lin Mu felt as if he had just been given a treasure key.

"Good, good. Have fun till I come back in the evening. Then we'll have some real fun!" The Head Elder said before standing up.

~WHOOSH~

Then in just a second, he disappeared like a gust of wind, completely unlike his age.

'Well, he is at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, so he isn't exactly weak.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He got up as well and sent Little Shrubby to the Sleepscape to rest.

'The Library is on the next peak.' Shuijing Mingzhu and Shuijing Ju had already introduced all the places to him, as such Lin Mu had no issues in finding the location.

About an hour later, Lin Mu climbed into the next peak and quickly reached the largest structure on it.

This was the Clan's Formation Library and it was built in a spiraling manner around the peak. The unique part was that it was a singular connected building and the higher one went, the better the books present in it.

~WHISTLE~

"That sure is big… Possible the biggest I've seen so far." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

If he were to compare, the clan's formation library could easily match the size of multiple palaces. The number of arrays protecting the place also exceeded most palaces, showing its importance.

~shua~

Lin Mu continued onwards and was automatically granted entry into the Library. Inside the library, he saw many clan members, all of whom were busy in either searching for a particular book or simply reading them.

~humm~

Lin Mu felt the jade token tremble in his hand and a string of information appeared in his mind.

~shua~

He followed the instructions, and a formation screen appeared above the jade token.

"Huh, this is how one can search for a particular book." Lin Mu muttered and then looked around again.

Unlike the others who had to manually search, Lin Mu could simply use the token to find what he needed.

'Looks like this is an item of privilege…' Lin Mu thought to himself and decided to make full use of it.

As such, he went through the list of books and marked out the ones he either didn't know about or hadn't read. This came out to a ma.s.sive number of over ten million books.

"That's quite a lot… but they shouldn't all be viable." Lin Mu muttered and started to filter them out on the basis of cultivation first.

He removed all the books that were intended for those below the Immortal realm. Once he did that the number fell again, but not by much.

"Still, eight million… they certainly have a giant collection." But this only made Lin Mu more excited. "If it is like this, I may as well look at the best books first." He said with a smile.

He filtered the search again and looked for the books that were at the highest ranks. These were books normal clan members were not able to access and only elders would be able to read them. Besides, even if access was provided to all, it wasn't like they would understand the books at their level either.

One would need a certain proficiency with the Formations before one would have a chance to learn from these books. Otherwise, it would be the same as giving the scriptures to a monkey!
