Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"[The School of Wisdom] focuses on using alchemy to repair the [soul]."

Feng Jin introduced:

"Although he was regarded as a blasphemer, Teacher Xia himself never shied away from promoting his ideas at that time."

"If there's any secret... it's only what's under his eye patch."

"Every wrong attempt is a step closer to the right one... This is a phrase my teacher often says."

"Hmm... Perhaps in his view, the crash of the spaceship really does have another meaning."

"The celestial barrier is not insurmountable; it is precisely because it took that it incurred divine punishment."

Feng Jin sighed:

"Unfortunately, Shuting's research on Aigle is still mainly based on the [Worship School], mostly focusing on priestly rituals."

“Exploration of the outermost parts has become increasingly rare since the Tianzhou incident, and this scroll is the first time I have ever seen it.”

"It's alright," Dan Heng said calmly.

If breaking through the sky would only mean facing a flying Titan, then he and Yan Huan together would certainly have nothing to fear.

I'm afraid this canopy isn't just that simple...

"Right now, let's focus on recovering the research targeting Titan."

Dan Heng glanced at the interior of the giant tree not far away and couldn't help but ask:

"I'm more curious about something else: the scroll actually mentions that Xia was conducting some kind of secret experiment at that moment?"

“Yes.” Feng Jin nodded, equally curious.

"I'm also very curious about what kind of research this is, that even I, the lecturer's assistant, am unaware of it?"

Since it was Xia's research, it certainly couldn't be simple.

"Oh dear, now that you mention it, I have a bad feeling about this," Feng Jin said, looking slightly troubled.

"If it were normal research, Professor Xia wouldn't have kept it from me; she would usually ask me for help..."

"Could there be another secret behind the Tree Garden disaster?"

The two searched as they went, and fortunately, Cesis's tree body was tough enough that at least many parts of its interior remained intact.

Feng Jin led Dan Heng into the tree hole. Above the tree hole, golden rainbow-colored flower buds throbbed like a heart, and several golden-tailed butterflies fluttered around them.

"This is the Tree Garden's library, the Hall of Friendship."

Feng Jin stood beneath the flower buds that were inverted in the air and introduced them to Dan Heng:

"The works of the seven major schools of thought are all collected here, and it also includes philosophy and poetry from foreign lands..."

"Of course, Danbao might even find some color books if he looks carefully."

Dan Heng: "?"

Chapter 1355 You are the Great Performer

"Hehe, don't give me that kind of look."

Feng Jin turned around and smiled at Dan Heng:

"Scholars are human, it's normal for them to have books like this, of course I don't read them."

"Besides these, there are many religious books... It is said that cities that seek wisdom from the Tree Court must offer equivalent knowledge in return."

"Many ridiculous things have happened in history. It is said that the [Red Pottery School] once borrowed a manuscript from a certain writer, but returned a copy instead, while the original was secretly hidden here."

"This... seems rather rude," Dan Heng commented.

But considering what he had seen and heard in other worlds, such behavior was not surprising.

For example, the museum in Arillow VI might have the real original artifacts in Sambo's house.

"Hehe, no need to be so subtle... just say it's like the behavior of a robber," Feng Jin laughed.

“Indeed.” Dan Heng nodded.

Sambo steals things, at least he won't make a big fuss about it.

But the scholars here, with such high status, still wanted to keep the genuine article and send the replica back.

If discovered later, they might deny it to the death and engage in a heated argument with the other party.

"Then, did Shuting rob Xuanfeng City?" Dan Heng asked curiously.

"I don't know about that," Feng Jin shook her head.

"Some say that Suspended Peak City doesn't even have a dictionary, so perhaps it was lucky to escape this calamity."

"Even if they did, who would want to deal with the Suspended Peak people? You might accidentally find yourself challenged to a one-on-one fight."

“Hey…” Feng Jin looked around.

"The catalog of books in the Friendship Hall is too extensive; it is impractical to browse through each volume one by one."

"Let's use the stone tablets in the library to retrieve the necessary information and bring it back to Ohmma for further research."

"Alright." Dan Heng nodded slightly.

"This place is dangerous and not suitable for staying for long."

Because of Kaze's unique constitution, it will attract nearby Black Tide monsters.

The area around Ohma City is relatively safe due to the presence of guards, but the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden is a different story.

If the Black Tide monsters were to storm into this Hall of Friendship, Danheng might be able to defeat them, but he couldn't guarantee that the books would remain intact during the battle.

Although these books look old.

Dan Heng looked into the distance:

There were some scrolls scattered on the ground.

"While you're working, I'll check around to make sure nothing is missed."

“Okay.” Feng Jin nodded, then picked up the stone tablet from the Hall of Friendship.

Danheng searched around and found the air here filled with the freshness of earth after rain, brimming with life.

If it hadn't been invaded by the Kuroshio Current, Shuting would definitely have been a great tourist destination before; at least Yan Huan and March 7 would have liked it.

They might even roll around in the mud and have a mud-throwing fight.

Finally, they might even attack the innocent bystander standing by.

"..."

"I'm thinking about something."

Dan Heng frowned and slowly looked ahead.

"Perhaps being in an occupied area made it feel a bit too oppressive."

He went to the corner and picked up the scrolls scattered on the ground.

"Multiple research grants applied for by a scholar of the [Goat School], and the responses from the school's sages to these grants..."

Danheng opened the scroll and read the contents recorded on it.

Project 1: We have discovered areas where the birth and death records of many rare animals known for their long lifespans are poorly managed, and we are applying to conduct research on this topic.

Reply: Lacking research significance, approval is not granted at this time.

Project 2: There are real plants in the tree garden mimicking the growth trend of the fairy tree; research application requested.

Reply: This is the research direction of the [Lotus Food School], and it will not be approved at this time.

Topic 3: The possibility of placing a flying bird in the direction of the fire tube's flight path, and apply for research.

Reply: Too far-fetched, not approved at this time.

"..."

Dan Heng quietly turned the pages of the scroll, his gaze slightly narrowed.

The following topics were varied, but the responses remained the same.

Perhaps the supervisor is lazy, or perhaps there is insufficient funding.

After all, research projects generally require approval, and there is no need to spend resources on meaningless projects.

Just like Yan Huan and March 7 always wanted to ask Miss Himeko for money... such as installing a rocking horse on the train.

Ms. Himeko and Mr. Walter would certainly not agree to this kind of project.

"Hopefully, this perseverance will help him survive the Black Tide."

After rummaging through the scrolls on the ground again, Danheng finally found some interesting ones.

"These are letters of complaint from scholars against [the blasphemer] Anaxxramas? They've accumulated into a thick stack..."

At Dan Heng's feet, a large pile of complaint letters against Na Ke Xia had accumulated.

It's hard to imagine just how much he was disliked in the treehouse.

Judging from the accumulated dust and the intact packaging, the complainant had never opened them and simply tossed them aside in a corner.

"..."

These papers can be sold as waste paper, and perhaps a little money can be made.

Just like some writers who write angst-filled stories like to collect razor blades to sell.

“Since it’s Nakaka’s data, it’s worth paying attention to… Let Kaze Sumi take a look too.”

At Danheng's call, Feng Jin put down her work and walked over with great interest.

To be honest, she was also curious about how those letters insulted Na Kexia.

"Cough cough, so much dust..." Feng Jin opened the letter and frowned.

"Are these all complaint letters he received?"
