Chapter 339: Chapter 340: Subduing the Divine Beast, Half a Year in Closed-Door Cultivation (Part 2)
All the contents of the Dan Book fluttered before Mu Ruyue’s eyes as if they were deeply engraved in her memory, so clear that even the actions of Alchemy seemed magnified before her.
Mu Ruyue closed her eyes slightly, quietly feeling the scenes she had just witnessed.
Under this influence, she felt completely unobstructed, and although her Alchemy level had not broken through, she felt that ascension was not far away…
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue opened her eyes, only to see a burst of light from the Dan Book, turning into a key that fell into her hand, while the ancient book she held in her hands also gradually began to change…
The light completely dissipated, leaving in Mu Ruyue’s hands an ancient bronze-colored book gleaming with a dazzling light, and a keyhole not too big, not too small, was reflected in her eyes.
Without any hesitation, Mu Ruyue used the key to open the ancient bronze-colored book.
A ray of light rose into the sky, spreading throughout the Book Collection Pavilion, startling everyone in the Academy, and instantly, all eyes were drawn to the Book Collection Pavilion…
Within the Dean Mansion, an elder with floating white hair and a celestial demeanor suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze toward the Book Collection Pavilion filled with astonishment.
“It’s the Dan Book! The Dan Book has acknowledged its master! This won’t do, I must go find the grandmasters; a major event has occurred!”
The back mountain’s gate would not be opened unless it was absolutely necessary, and it seemed that the old monsters whose souls wandered the back mountain knew something had happened, so by the time the Dean arrived at the back mountain, he was already respectfully welcomed inside by two Demon Beast guardians.
Inside the mountain chamber, two elders had already been quietly waiting for his arrival.
The elder on the left was dressed in red, smiling and gentle, refined and cultured, while the one on the right was clad in gray, indifferent in demeanor. However, these two shared one thing in common: they had no physical bodies.
They were just a pile of souls sustained by the spiritual energy of the back mountain, and had it not been for Lord Bai Ze building this back mountain capable of sustaining souls so they could await the return of Dan Venerate, they would have long since vanished from the world.
After all, even with body seizing and rebirth, one needed to find a suitable body, and not everyone was so lucky as to find a body that matched their own…
“Grandmaster Hong Yun, Grandmaster Hui Ying.”
The Dean bowed slightly.
Before he could report, Hong Yun waved his hand with a smile, “The matters you wish to speak of, we are already aware. Next, there is only one thing you must do, do not allow anyone to approach the Book Collection Pavilion, and if anyone dares to come near, they must be severely punished!”
The Dean was startled but bowed without asking questions, “Yes, Grandmaster Hong Yun.”
Then he rose and walked out of the mountain chamber.
Watching his disappearing figure, the smile in Hong Yun’s eyes slowly faded away: “Hui Ying, back then, when Lord Bai Ze placed the Dan Book here, he said it was waiting for a predestined person who would open the Dan Book with the key, but he never mentioned who this predestined person would be.”
Hui Ying raised his head to look at the sky outside, speaking indifferently, “Lord Bai Ze is the one she trusted the most, and since she left this place, we must follow Lord Bai Ze’s orders. But it was because Lord Bai Ze wanted to save the young master that he fell for Zi Feng’s insidious trick, getting trapped within Bai Gu, otherwise, with Lord Bai Ze’s formidable strength, a thousand years ago, he could have killed that malicious woman to avenge Dan Venerate and Emperor Zi.”
