My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 61 Yuan Shen
After bidding farewell to Xia Hong, Chief Instructor Liu led Huang Tian to the Zhenwuwei Library.

The library is located at the very back of the government office complex. It has three floors, with green tiles, red pillars, and upturned eaves, making it look very elegant.

Outside the pavilion stood a group of strongmen armed with swords, while inside, a young clerk sat behind his desk, seemingly engrossed in reading a storybook.

Standing outside the library, Liu Kuo said, "The token Xia Qianhu gave you not only allows you to enter the second floor to choose two martial arts techniques, but also allows you to freely enter and exit the Imperial Guard Academy."

However, according to the rules, you martial arts students only have one day off every twenty days to leave the academy. Therefore, unless you need to go to the library, try not to use it to go out, lest you incur criticism.

"clear."

"Alright, go in now. Remember, once you're on the second floor, don't rush to choose a martial arts technique. Take your time to look around and find the one that suits you best."

In this world, martial arts are not divided into categories like Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow; there is only the distinction between martial arts skills and supernatural powers.

Supernatural powers are said to be wielded by celestial beings above the Grandmaster level, while martial arts are cultivated by martial artists of the ninth to first rank.

Of course, if we have to divide the latter into categories, we can roughly divide them into ordinary, exquisite, and supreme levels. The reason why there are two levels, exquisite and supreme, is because they involve the control of "qi," which is a field that only mid-level three-rank martial artists begin to enter.

The martial arts on the second floor of the library are all at an exquisite level. If a martial artist of the lower three ranks masters one of them, even if he cannot unleash its true power because he has no internal energy, he can still easily deal with enemies of the same rank.

Moreover, once you break through to the middle third rank, you won't need to change your martial arts skills anymore, saving a lot of time and energy.

After saying goodbye to Instructor Liu, Huang Tian walked up to a group of strongmen, showed them the silver token Xia Hong had given him, and after a strongman carefully checked it, he waved his hand and was able to enter the first floor of the library smoothly.

The clerk, who was engrossed in reading a storybook, glanced at him, noticed the silver token in his hand, his expression subtly changed, and he discreetly closed the storybook, stood up, and smiled amicably:
"With this silver token, you may freely view all the books on the first floor. You may tell me anything at any time, or ask me if you want to find any book. I will answer all your questions to the best of my knowledge."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Huang Tian looked around the first floor.

There are dozens of mahogany bookshelves here, each containing nearly a hundred documents. A rough estimate reveals that there are thousands of books of various kinds on the first floor, with miscellaneous notes and historical books making up the majority.

Instead of rushing upstairs, he went to a bookshelf and pulled out a book titled "History of Various Dynasties".

"The ancient times are too distant to be traced... After the ancient times, there were dynasties such as Dasheng, Daling, and Dahong, each a powerful nation that dominated all directions. Six hundred years ago, the Great Qian Emperor, with his celestial body, established a new dynasty and set up the Zhenwu Guard, the Six Doors, and the Xuanjia Army to suppress the world. All the major sects and factions bowed down to him..."

After gaining a general understanding of the history from ancient times to the present, he put the book back and then took out a copy of "A Brief Account of the Realms of Martial Arts".

"The beginning of martial arts requires training strength to nourish qi and blood. Qi and blood undergo three transformations. After the three transformations, one absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform it into internal energy, thus entering the middle three ranks."

After reaching the third rank, one becomes a grandmaster, capable of flying through the sky and escaping into the earth, riding the wind and soaring through the void.

Only after becoming a Grandmaster can one be considered a Celestial Being, living for over three hundred years. Every move they make possesses great power and supernatural abilities. Their anger can terrify the world, and their peace can bring tranquility to the world. One person is enough to govern a country.

The lineage of the Celestials is unknown, but ancient legends say that the lineage of the Celestials is called the Void Realm. At that time, there were five powerful Void Realm experts who forged five divine weapons. With the power of the divine weapons and their supernatural abilities, they broke through the Void Gate and ascended to heaven.

The divine weapon was not taken away by them and remained in this realm. However, for nearly ten thousand years, no one has seen a true illusory divine weapon. It is only rumored that the divine weapon will appear when there is a great calamity in the world, to assist its master and eliminate the calamity...

Five Divine Weapons!

Virtual Realm!

God!

"The Grandmaster realm allows for physical flight and a lifespan of up to 300 years. A single strike can devastate an area of ​​several miles and destroy a village. This is similar to the Foundation Establishment realm, except that Foundation Establishment cultivators have a longer lifespan."

And what about the Celestial Realm experts, who are presumably the Golden Core cultivators?

As for the legendary Void Realm, it should be the Primordial Spirit Realm...' Huang Tian was slightly pleased. He hadn't expected that there would be information about the Primordial Spirit Realm in this world. Although it was just a few words, he believed that this world had probably really produced a Primordial Spirit Realm expert.

Since ancient times, this realm has been named the Five Realms, which corresponds to the five Void Realms and the five divine weapons. It would be difficult for such a coincidence if the ancient people had not seen the Void Realm experts and the divine weapons they forged.

'But it's too early to think about these things. Let's set a small goal first: break through to the Celestial Realm! Then we can consider the matter of the Void Realm Primordial Spirit...'

He put "A Brief Account of the Realms of Martial Arts" back on the bookshelf and continued to read many history books and miscellaneous notes to enrich his understanding of the world.

About half an hour later, he finally stopped and began to look at the various martial arts manuals stored on the first floor.

Even though most of these martial arts are extremely ordinary skills, they are more important to Huang Tian than the exquisite martial arts skills that he can choose from, because there are so many of them!

There are hundreds or even thousands of different palm techniques, fist techniques, leg techniques, knife techniques, sword techniques, etc., which almost encompass all the common martial arts techniques that can be seen in the outside world!

Anyone who can master all these martial arts techniques to perfection can be called a "martial arts master".

However, this is just wishful thinking. How could one possibly learn and master so many martial arts techniques? Unless one deliberately spends decades or even centuries practicing, but that's impossible!

A state of mind! A state of mind is always the most important!
No one would be foolish enough to focus solely on practicing martial arts.

Except for those who have the spare capacity.

For example, me.

Huang Tian immersed himself completely in the vast sea of ​​books.

"Mountain-Crushing Fist, Tiger-Taming Fist, Flowing Palm, Dragon-Elephant Demon-Subduing Fist, Three Yang Arrow Technique, One Qi Spear Technique, Flowing Light Illusion Sword Technique..."

He took in all the martial arts techniques he had read, memorized them, and then practiced them in his mind at an extremely fast pace, from beginner to expert, and then to perfection!

Time passed slowly, the sun set, and the orange light shone softly through the window, falling on the novel. The clerk yawned, looked up, and saw that the young man was still engrossed in reading, seemingly tireless.

Moreover, his way of reading is quite strange.

A book is merely flipped through, purely for reading! A cursory glance is taken and the page is quickly turned over, without any thought or reflection, as if one is searching for something within the book.

Shaking his head in confusion, the clerk coughed lightly, reminding Huang Tian, ​​"There are still three quarters of an hour before the library closes. If you are looking for any book, you must hurry. If you really can't find it, come back tomorrow."

"it is good."

Huang Tian paused in his book-turning motion, opened his mouth to respond, and then continued to bury himself in the book.

About 35 minutes later, the sun sank behind the mountains, the stars and moon appeared, and the library was almost completely dark. Huang Tian then got up and left.

However, as he walked, his gaze was unfocused, clearly still immersed in the various martial arts techniques.

After leaving the Zhenwuwei government office, we entered the Weixue (a school for guards) and proceeded to the upper dormitory, section A.

"Huang Tian!" A chilling voice called out to him.

Huang Tian snapped out of his daze, stopped, and turned his head to look.

But then he saw Huang Qian standing with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at him from the doorway of the No. 6, Jiazi building where Huang Rui lived.
