Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Library Pavilion [Part 2] Xia Liu didn’t get to imagine for long before Bai Shixiong took out a completely white jade block and threw it towards the giant tower. The jade block floated slowly in front of the stone gate of the giant tower, like a spirit. Humming… As the jade block started to emit a faint light, a low chanting sound came from the giant tower. Soon after, the huge stone gate rose without any apparent cause. As the gate of the giant tower opened, a desolate and distant aura emanated from within. Such a change came as a surprise only to a few low-rank warriors, while the others were already accustomed to it. Just as Xia Liu was about to enter first, Bai Shixiong stopped him, “To enter the Library Pavilion, one must increase energy; otherwise, you will encounter resistance.” Xia Liu said nothing, looking towards Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong. They had both rested for a night and had recovered somewhat, all because Xia Liu had held back during the contest in the arena. The two exchanged glances with Xia Liu and showed forced smiles. Then, under his gaze, they first increased their energy and entered the Library Pavilion. Xia Liu noticed that as the two entered through the main entrance, indeed a force swept over them. But it was only a weak stream of Spiritual Energy. At this point, Xia Liu laughed. Was such weak Spiritual Energy supposed to stop him? Then, he walked forward amid many astonished gazes. As for increasing energy, that was merely the entry method for ordinary warriors. When Bai Shixiong saw that Xia Liu entered the Library Pavilion without increasing energy and without suffering any harm or even encountering resistance, he almost popped his eyes out. The warriors on-site were also puzzled; they all had some understanding of the Library Pavilion of the Immeasurable Sect, which had existed since the founding of the sect. A great power had set up a barrier in the Library, and to enter, one had to increase energy. Yet Xia Liu just walked in casually! “The barrier of the Library must be broken!” Bai Shixiong thought, and his heart rate sped up. Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Shixiong also walked in casually like Xia Liu. Boom! But as Bai Shixiong was about to step through the stone gate, it was as if there was a glass wall in front of him, firmly blocking him and making a dull sound. “…” Barely avoiding a mouthful of dirt, Bai Shixiong quickly increased his energy and then entered through the stone gate under everyone’s astonished gazes. After Bai Shixiong entered the Library Pavilion, the warriors outside began to discuss heatedly. Xia Liu had entered the stone gate without increasing energy—this was simply mind-blowing! The oldest warrior on the scene was over eighty years old, and he had been participating in the Martial Combat Contest of the Immeasurable Sect for decades. He was certain that this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In the past, there were warriors who attempted to challenge the barrier, but without exception, they all ended up on the ground. Compared to the bustling outside, it was much quieter inside the tower. After Bai Shixiong entered, the stone gate closed. The moment the stone gate closed, candles automatically lit up inside the tower. The dim candlelight, one after another, illuminated the entire Library Pavilion. Xia Liu, who was visiting the Library Pavilion for the first time, was perplexed by the layout he saw before him. He saw a long winding staircase that spiraled down from the top of the tower. It was clear that there were four floors in the Library Pavilion, and there was even a faint presence of Spiritual Energy lingering inside! “Based on the results of the Martial Combat Contest, Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong can go to the second floor, while Xia Liu can enter the third floor.” Before ascending the staircase, Bai Shixiong announced the floor levels for the three of them. “Thank you, Sect Master Bai!” Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong responded with a salute and a fist. Although it was only the second floor, they were satisfied, after all, had they carelessly obtained third place in the Martial Combat Contest, they could only pick martial arts skills and cultivation techniques from the miserable first floor. “Sect Master Bai, is it possible to go up to the fourth floor?” “Hmm?” Bai Shixiong, Zhang Xiantian, and Sun Mingcong all showed surprise. Could it be that Xia Liu truly didn’t know the laws of the Library Pavilion? “This fourth floor is obstructed by mysterious forces, even with a token, I can’t go up,” Bai Shixiong sighed and said. “Brother Xia Liu, since its creation, the Library Pavilion has been suppressed by marvelous forces. Without Sect Master Bai’s token, let alone the third floor, you couldn’t even reach the second floor.” “Hehe, Brother Xia Liu, the third floor is not bad either, if you’re lucky, you can even find Mysterious Rank Peak martial arts skills or cultivation techniques.” After coming back to their senses, Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong both smiled. “Is that so, then what are the conditions needed for me to reach the fourth floor?” Xia Liu asked, puzzled. “Haha! As long as one relies on their own ability to reach the fourth floor, no conditions are needed!” Hearing Xia Liu say this, Bai Shixiong laughed; without his own token, let alone the fourth floor, he would have difficulty just reaching the second floor. “Brother Xia Liu, you might not understand the Library Pavilion, I advise you not to waste your energy.” “Yes, without Sect Master Bai’s token, forget about the fourth floor, you wouldn’t even be able to reach the second floor.” Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong both laughed in turn. If Xia Liu’s cultivation weren’t high-strength, they would have barraged him long ago. You should feel lucky just being able to reach the third floor, yet you still think about the fourth floor. Hmm? Just as Bai Shixiong and the others continued to try to dissuade Xia Liu, he had already walked to the staircase. “Sect Master Bai, since you said so, let’s talk about the third floor later, I’ll go up to the fourth floor to take a look,” Xia Liu said. Finishing his words, Xia Liu quickly stepped onto the staircase. … Bai Shixiong, Zhang Xiantian, and Sun Mingcong shook their heads helplessly. Previously, there were no young martial artists with such ambition who didn’t stop at the second floor. Because there is a barrier stronger than the entrance by countless times! But after a few seconds passed, Bai Shixiong, Zhang Xiantian, and Sun Mingcong all had their mouths wide open, their eyes bulging with shock. Because Xia Liu had already surpassed the first floor, and entered the second! “Whoa! That’s impossible!” “Am I seeing things? He has no fluctuations of Inner Qi at all, yet he made it to the second floor!” Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong exclaimed in astonishment. Bai Shixiong was already stunned, even with the use of Inner Qi, he could barely step onto the second floor’s staircase, but to truly want to go to the second floor clearly was impossible, because that barrier felt just like Mount Tai pressing down on him. “Damn it! He’s surpassed the second floor!” “He’s reached the third floor! What is this situation!” … Seeing Xia Liu surpass the second floor and step onto the third floor’s staircase, the trio on the first floor were filled with shock and fear. “It must be broken, the barrier must be!” Bai Shixiong murmured, his movement technique flashing instantly to the end of the first floor, but as he attempted to step forward, he was immediately stopped by that mysterious force. “Sect Master Bai, how is it, is the barrier broken?” Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong quickly ran up to inquire. Bai Shixiong did not speak, gesturing for the two to experience it for themselves. When the two were stopped by the barrier, their expressions changed. “Eh! He’s stopped!” Seeing Xia Liu stop at the third floor, Bai Shixiong was once again filled with surprise. Could it be that when Xia Liu started climbing the stairs, the barrier hadn’t been activated, and that’s why he was able to go up smoothly? But before he could dwell on his surprise, he saw Xia Liu’s foot taking another step up…
