32. Great news and cold water
After being blinded by the intense light emanating from the words on the divine pearl, Ling Bingtian briefly lost his sight. When his vision returned, the scene before him shocked him.
He seemed to be in a huge study, with three bookshelves that were over ten meters tall in front of him, and these three bookshelves were filled with books.
However, Ling Bingtian keenly noticed that from a certain height onwards, the surface of the books above that height was covered with a thin layer of gray mist, making it impossible for him to see the names of the books.
After a rough estimate, Ling Bingtian calculated that the height was approximately two meters.
But this isn't the time to be researching that. The most important thing is, where am I? How do I get out?
Just as these doubts arose in Ling Bingtian's mind, a stream of information flooded into his mind.
This was a stream of information from the Divine Pearl. Ling Bingtian digested the information for a moment and then realized where he was.
It turns out that the reason why the divine pearl remained motionless in its own sea of spirit was because its energy was insufficient.
Given Ling Bingtian's current soul power and mental strength, it neither considered them valuable nor would they be of any use to it. Therefore, it remained motionless within Ling Bingtian's sea of consciousness to minimize its own energy expenditure.
Unexpectedly, Ling Bingtian was able to come into contact with an existence at the level of the Ice God when he was so weak.
Although the Ice God's power level was also looked down upon by the Divine Pearl, it was still enough to fill the gaps in his own power.
The problem is that, given Ling Bingtian's situation when he first entered this small plane, the Divine Pearl dared not rashly absorb the divine power stored by the Ice God within the ice crystal. Wouldn't that be helping Ling Bingtian to his death? Therefore, it remained dormant, hoping for a turning point.
Unexpectedly, the turning point came so quickly. Just when Ling Bingtian wanted to return to the Douluo Continent, something happened in the small world.
Especially after Ling Bingtian touched the divine ice crystal, the divine pearl absorbed the divine power and observed the events that occurred in the divine realm, following the source of the divine power.
What happened next was exactly as Ling Bingtian had predicted. The crimson giant sword phantom and the bead-like object at its tail were indeed related to the divine pearl.
After sensing the presence of the divine pearl, the crimson giant sword phantom responded to it, informing it of some information about itself before carrying out its mission.
Ling Bingtian also learned this information from the Divine Pearl. The content of this information almost made Ling Bingtian so happy that he wanted to jump up and dance a dance of Pure Land of Bliss.
Ling Bingtian learned from the Divine Pearl that the phantom of the crimson giant sword did indeed exist in space, and was located near Douluo Star.
Its functions are quite simple, only two. One is concealment, concealing Douluo Star and the space within a radius of thousands of light-years centered on it, making it impossible for anyone below the level of the Crimson Giant Sword itself to observe anything within this space.
Most importantly, even the strongest deity in the Douluo God Realm, the God of Destruction, is far from being comparable to the main body of this crimson giant sword in terms of level.
What does this mean? It means that no matter how much a selfless god-king wants to act, He cannot interfere in the future affairs of Douluo Continent!
Upon learning this information, Ling Bingtian was overjoyed!
Long before his memories of his past life were fully restored, and after he learned that he was now in the Douluo Continent and in the Douluo II era, a certain selfless God King had always been a thorn in his heart, a thorn that was fatal and could never be erased.
Now that's good, with the shielding function of the crimson greatsword phantom, I no longer need to worry about interference from that selfless god-king.
From then on, the sea was wide enough for fish to leap freely, and the sky high enough for birds to fly freely.
Ling Bingtian's mindset instantly broadened, and the thorn in his heart disappeared at that moment.
Another function of the crimson greatsword phantom, or rather, a conclusion drawn from the analysis of the divine orb, is not really a function.
The crimson giant sword phantom is itself a projection of a sword, and the true location of this sword is, in a sense, the core of Douluo Star.
To put it bluntly, the place where this sword is located is the very place where Douluo Star itself was born with soul power.
This sword is at least on the same level as the Divine Pearl.
Therefore, the longer this sword stays in the core of Douluo Star, the greater its influence on the entire Douluo plane.
If this continues, the Douluo Continent will change, which is beyond the prediction of the Divine Pearl.
However, one thing the Divine Pearl is certain of is that the existence of this sword will cause the core of Douluo Star to generate a new type of energy.
A type of energy at a higher level than soul power.
At the same time, it can also be cultivated by people on the Douluo Continent.
More importantly, this energy can be cultivated through the books on the bookshelf that Ling Bingtian sees.
In other words, these books contain methods for cultivating this new energy.
Otherwise, like soul power, it would have to go through years of exploration before it could be utilized by humans, eventually giving rise to the profession of Soul Master.
The existence of this information brought Ling Bingtian a joy that was almost equivalent to the ecstasy he felt upon learning that a certain selfless God King could not interfere with the Douluo Continent.
Given that this sword is comparable to a divine pearl, how could the energy derived from it, even if it were inferior, possibly be worse than soul power?
The only question is, how difficult is it to cultivate this energy system?
This is something Ling Bingtian will have to explore, but it's only a matter of time, isn't it?
Ling Bingtian walked to the nearest bookshelf, pulled out a book, and looked at its cover.
The Na Yuan Law
This is the title of the book. Ling Bingtian flipped through it briefly and found that it was an auxiliary cultivation technique similar to his own Devouring Yuan Method.
However, unlike the Devouring Yuan Method, which allows for complete absorption and utilization, the Absorption Yuan Method can only help the user absorb once a day. Furthermore, every certain period of time, the user needs to use a secret method to expel the impurities remaining in the body after the Absorption Yuan Method has been used.
The exact interval depends on the individual's physical condition.
After reading the Na Yuan Method, Ling Bingtian pulled out some basic books from this bookshelf and two nearby bookshelves to browse through.
Among these books, some are auxiliary techniques similar to the "Na Yuan Fa" (纳元法), some are cultivation techniques called "Qing Feng Gong" (青风功) or "Chi Yan Jue" (赤炎决), and others are combat techniques such as "Sui Shi Quan" (碎石拳) or "Lie Bei Zhang" (裂碑掌).
"This...this is a treasure trove!"
As Ling Bingtian flipped through these books, her face flushed red with excitement.
With these things, even if the original three great empires were really defeated by the Sun Moon Empire, Ling Bingtian was confident that he could turn the tide against all odds.
This is something that will overturn the entire Douluo Continent system!
Unfortunately, just as Ling Bingtian was envisioning the future, the Divine Pearl poured cold water on his hopes.
