In this world, he always felt a sense of loneliness, and only the old Taoist Tu could somewhat connect with him.
Now he became the object of everyone's neglect, which also granted him some peace and quiet.
It just so happened that no one disturbed him from reading.
The library of the Taoist academy was originally deserted, rarely had anyone come to peruse these relatively useless books, and it seemed everyone intentionally stayed away from Lin Yue, so at this moment, he was the only one in the library.
The library was silent, with only the sound of Lin Yue turning the pages breaking the silence.
Lin Yue nearly forgot to eat or sleep as he pored over one book after another of seemingly useless tomes, almost until sunset, and only when the room grew dim did he finally come back to his senses.
"I'll finish this book before I leave."
Lin Yue glanced at the "River Map Strategy" in his hand, thought for a moment, and prepared to light an oil lamp to continue reading.
A high, resonant toll of a bell suddenly rang in his mind.
At the same time, everything before his eyes froze, and the faint sound of insects from outside the library completely disappeared, leaving everything in silence except for the tremendous toll of the bell echoing.
Lin Yue did not react, only listening quietly.
For the past half a month, the secrets had without exception been of the First Ring Level, leaving him anxious and helpless.
He didn't know what level of secrets he needed to resolve his current predicament.
But when it involved matters as shocking as the birth of a prince of the Divine Emperor, the secret that could help him must be of a very high level.
The mere First Ring Level was of no use at all.
Another high, resonant toll sounded, and a trace of hope welled up within Lin Yue.
The continuous, magnificent tolls of the bell seemed endless, leaving Lin Yue slightly stunned and increasingly overjoyed.
It wasn't until five consecutive tolls passed that it finally ceased.
"It's a Five Rings Level secret!"
After counting the number of tolls, Lin Yue was instantly overjoyed.
Since arriving in this world, the first secret he obtained through his innate divine power was of the Eighth Ring level.
However, that secret was utterly useless to him, and it made him somewhat anxious, fearing that he might accidentally let it slip, leaving him unable to disclose even a tiny piece of it.
Furthermore, the highest was once a Five Rings Level secret, which allowed him to obtain a very bizarre and precious treasure on a mysterious corpse in a hidden cave.
But the lower-level secrets were of no help to his current predicament.
However, now he heard five consecutive tolls again!
Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart, and he hurriedly listened carefully, afraid of missing anything.
The next moment, a vague and ethereal whisper sounded in his mind, softly telling him—
"Did you know? In the cave where you obtained the rare treasure 'Images of All Beings,' the stone wall at the end of the cave is actually a secret door, and behind the door lies a Cave Mansion. But only the original master of the Cave Mansion can open it by striking the nine positions on the stone wall with bare hands according to the numerals of the Lo Shu square of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."
Once the whisper faded away, everything returned to normal.
Amidst the insect songs of the autumn night, Lin Yue stood in place, holding the scroll, dazedly, "So, that cave... is a Cave Mansion?"
At that moment, a great sense of hope and expectation was born in his heart.
Although he didn't know what was inside that Cave Mansion, just in front of the door, he found a treasure as precious as the 'Images of All Beings.'
If he could enter, perhaps he truly could find a glimmer of hope...
"I must, I must find a way to get inside."
Lin Yue's eyes suddenly sharpened, hidden with a boundless desire and determination.
