Chapter 2586: Books

The City Lord sent a servant to ask if she wanted to come out for a meal, but she declined.

In fact, immortal cultivators like them could go anywhere from 10 days to a month without eating. If they entered a phase of deep cultivation, they would not wither away even if they went without food or water for several years.

In addition, Feng Jiu had an abundance of food in her space, so she did not need to go out for meals at this time.

She spent the entire day searching for and reading books. In the silence of the night, pale moonlight seeped in through the upper window, and the light was so dim that she could not help but feel drowsy.

She yawned, stretched, and strolled slowly through the library, which was lit on all sides by night pearls except for the bookshelves in the back.

She walked slowly up to the second floor and wandered about there while picking up various books and examining them. She discovered that some high-level martial arts books were sealed and could not be opened.

“I see. Some books are prohibited, so even if I want to read them, I won’t be able to see the contents.”

She chuckled, not at all surprised. After all, if it weren’t for the prohibition seal, wouldn’t she have free access to all of the higher-level martial arts books?

She returned the forbidden book and went up to the third floor to take a look around. It was similar to the second floor. She could easily flip through some of the books, but others couldn’t be read.

After going around, she returned to the first floor. She hadn’t yet completed reading the books on the first floor; could she truly find a clue to the immortal ascension ladder in three days?

When she reached the stairway leading to the first level and sat down, she closed her eyes, and the words of the old man from earlier in the day came back to her.

“Immortal Ascension Ladder, Immortal Ascension Ladder, climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder step by step, the immortal road is beyond the sky, how many years have you been living under the ladder…What does it all mean?” Mumbling softly, she peered up towards the first floor and her eyes flashed when they landed on a particular location.

She immediately got up and went to the first floor, to the back rows of bookshelves where the chairs were placed, and looked at the chair where the old man had stood during the day. She stood up and looked up at the bookshelf above it.

“Is there nothing? Am I overthinking things?” She was perplexed. Looking up, her gaze was drawn to the top shelf. She removed all of the topmost books, placed them on the floor, and sat in the chair, perusing each one.

“Whoa?”

The book she was holding was sealed. When she read the words on it, her eyes could not help but sparkle.

“The Peng Lai Miscellany? This book contains various records pertaining to Peng Lai Immortal Island. Is there a chance that it contains information on Immortal Ascension Ladder?” She spoke to herself while smiling and examining the book’s seal.

She had no difficulty breaking a seal, a boundary, or a formation. Such a seal, she would simply break it and reseal the book after reading it.

Immediately, she clutched the book in one hand while condensing spirit energy breath with the other and reciting the seal-breaking technique. The spirit energy breath in her palm brushed over the book like a streak of fire, and the seal vanished like a water ripple.

When she opened the book and turned the pages, she saw that it detailed events on Peng Lai Immortal Island as well as the formation of the four great cities…
