choosing the azure-clothed swordsman’s disk array that resulted in seeing this painting?
Yi Yun could not figure it out. The Great Empress mystic realm contained all sorts of mysteries.
Ignoring the ancient Great Empress’s impressive methods, just the way she thought and the planning she put into the mystic realm alarmed him.
“This picture might be useful to my understanding of the sword…”
Yi Yun rubbed his chin. He decided to stop looking at the picture temporarily. He proceeded behind the azure stoned wall and here he saw a row of bookshelves.
The ancient wooden bookshelf remained standing after so many years. It seemed to have witnessed the long history of the Great Empress mystic realm.
Yi Yun walked before the bookshelf and saw rows of sealed jade scrolls on the bookshelf.
He randomly choose one and sank his perception into it. Inside the jade scroll were extremely ancient words. The complicated strokes made them seem very obscure.
“Green Water Sutra!”
Yi Yun saw three words the moment he opened the first jade scroll.
Was this a cultivation technique manual?
Yi Yun’s eyes flashed. The Green Water Sutra sounded like a name of a water-elemental based cultivation technique. Could it be that all the jade scrolls on the bookshelf were manuals of cultivation techniques?
Yi Yun picked up a few other jade scrolls.
“Leisure Sword Sutra”!
“Spiritual Invisibility Mystic Book”!
“Star Gathering Manual”!
Every jade scroll had the name of a cultivation technique. Some of them were movement techniques, attacking moves and other sorts of manuals.
The ancient Great Empress had left her cultivation techniques in the third level of the God Advent Tower?
Yi Yun suddenly had such a thought. At this moment, the Great Empress mystic realm’s cold voice echoed once again, “You have four hours to choose any two manuals! After that, the azure stoned walls will be sealed shut!”
Four hours!
Yi Yun was dismayed. It was too short.
It was barely fine with an hour to choose disk arrays. Just by watching the images in the disk arrays, he was able to decide if he could withstand the pressure from the images. He was also able to affirm that the things in the images was something suitable for him to cultivate.
However…for choosing manuals, it was no easy task.
He needed to read at least half of each manual to decide if it was suitable for himself. As for knowing if he could master it, he had to read the second half of the manual to know the difficulty.
And each of these manuals was abstruse. To understand even a single scroll was not easy.
“Just to choose a manual in the Great Empress mystic realm is a form of challenge and test. How is it possible to finish reading so many manuals in four hours?”
Yi Yun frowned. However, as the rules were set by the ancient Great Empress, he had to abide by them.
With only four hours, he quickly picked up the jade scrolls and browsed through their contents.
If the manual contained a clear bias towards a law like the five-elemental laws or creation laws, they were immediately abandoned by Yi Yun.
He cultivated the pure Yang laws. Since the laws were not a match, there was nothing worth reading.
If the weapon was not right, he didn’t read it!
If the cultivation technique itself was not profound enough, he didn’t read it!
If the content was too short, he didn’t read it!
There were too many cultivation techniques, so to increase his selection speed, he could only use such a rough heuristic as a filter. Maybe some cultivation techniques might be short in content, but they were equally profound, however, Yi Yun could not care about that.
He had already used up two hours, yet, he had yet to find a cultivation technique suitable for himself.
Seeing that he still had more than half of the cultivation techniques left, Yi Yun had no choice by to increase his speed further.
This test was indeed tiring.
It tested a cultivator’s eyesight, distinguishing ability, analyzing ability and perceptivity!
A cultivator’s ability to cultivate well could also be seen from being able to speed read a manual.
Yi Yun began to read faster and faster. The abstruse words seemed to flash past Yi Yun’s mind, while he began to choose what was most suitable for himself.
Every manual he saw, be it whether they were suitable or not, or whether Yi Yun decided to choose it or not, its location and rough contents were remembered by Yi Yun.
This made it easy for him to make a choice later. This was also a great test on Yi Yun’s memory.
Another thirty minutes past, as the deadline approached. There was slightly more than an hour left.
Yi Yun’s forehead began to sweat. The Great Empress mystic realm’s collection was too rich. There was almost nothing lacking.
Ever since Yi Yun came to the Tian Yuan world, he had come into contact with some cultivation technique manuals of the Tian Yuan world. He felt that many of the manuals the large factions of the Tian Yuan world used were related to the manuals from a
