Chapter 22 Going Up to the Third Floor of the Library

Thinking of Shui Ze, who had fallen into a deep sleep to save her, a resolute glint flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. No matter what, Shui Ze would continue to fall into a deep sleep because of her.

So in order to shorten the time he was asleep, she had to try no matter what.

So Lu Fuyue tentatively stepped onto the first step, but felt nothing.

A few seconds later, she went up another step, but still nothing seemed amiss.

Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened. Could it be related to her meditation just now?

Forget it, I'll stop worrying about it and just go.

She climbed six or seven steps before finally feeling a slight resistance, but it was so small as to be negligible.

Next, Lu Fuyue climbed six more steps in one go, but the resistance became stronger and stronger until she stopped at the last third step.

Lu Fuyue was forced to stop. She reached out tentatively and touched forward, but a transparent spiritual energy barrier stopped her.

Her eyes narrowed; so this was the main event.

Remembering what Elder Hai said, if you sense anything unusual in your dantian, then you can't go any further.

She didn't realize anything was wrong with her body, so Lu Fuyue stepped onto the second-to-last step again.

There are twenty-two steps in total, and she has already reached the twentieth step, with only two steps left. How could she possibly give up?

Moreover, cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens. If she stops at this small step today, she will probably die from her own cowardice in the future.

***

Fifteen minutes later, despite the heavy resistance, Lu Fuyue finally placed her foot on the second-to-last step, but her body was already soaked with sweat.

Only the last step remains.

Lu Fuyue gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and once again lifted her foot to step onto the last step.

However, just as she lifted her foot, a huge resistance suddenly jolted her, and Lu Fuyue's body fell backward uncontrollably, tumbling all the way down from the third floor and finally stopping on the second floor.

After a while,

Lu Fuyue gradually regained her strength, so she used her hands to push herself up and immediately got up. When she stood up with a limp, she found that she had many bruises on her body and many places were swollen.

But she seemed oblivious to the pain, and continued to drag her bruised and battered body to the steps.

Lu Fuyue looked up at the top of the stairs, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her gaze sharpened.

So you're not letting her go up?

Coincidentally, she insisted on going up.

A little while later, she reached the last step, but it was this last step that blocked her way.

Just as Lu Fuyue was about to place her foot on the last step, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"If you do that, the restrictions will also backfire."

Lu Fuyue subconsciously looked up and saw Luo Mingchuan, dressed in black, standing not far from the last step, looking at her with a cold and indifferent expression.

It was him.

Lu Fuyue was slightly surprised.

As Lu Fuyue stepped onto the stairs, Luo Mingchuan sensed something. He felt a surge of curiosity: who was so fearless as to break through the restrictions on the third floor of the library?

I never expected it to be her, but upon closer reflection, only she has this ability.

After all, it took him a whole month to figure out how to break through to the third floor, and his cultivation level back then was a whole realm higher than hers now.

Luo Mingchuan snapped out of his thoughts, remembering that he hadn't finished his task for the day. So he came down from the third floor and brushed past Lu Fuyue. Soon his figure disappeared from sight.

***

Luo Mingchuan did not reach the Golden Core stage, so how did he get there? And what did he mean by what he just said?

For a moment, Lu Fuyue couldn't figure it out either.

If we don't go up this way, how should we go up?

Just as she was completely confused, a sudden thought flashed through her mind. She had gone straight up without using any spiritual energy. Could it be that she needed to circulate her cultivation technique to resist the restriction?

However, generally speaking, restrictions are more targeted at spiritual power. The more spiritual power is used, the stronger the rebound will be. This is why she did not use spiritual power when she encountered the rebound just now.

However, judging from Luo Mingchuan's appearance just now, it doesn't seem like he used spiritual power.

Why don't you give it a try?

As soon as the idea came to mind, Lu Fuyue's gaze immediately fell on the last step.

Just as she was about to step down, Luo Mingchuan returned and stood behind her, suddenly speaking.

"Ignore the existence of the restriction."

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Fuyue instinctively followed his instructions.

Sure enough, she successfully stood on the third floor without triggering the restriction.

Lu Fuyue was overjoyed. Just as she was about to thank Luo Mingchuan, the man left with only one sentence.

"If you want to thank me, then work hard to improve your cultivation and fight me!"

Lu Fuyue watched his departing figure with complicated emotions. In fact, she also wanted to have a match with a genius like Luo Mingchuan.

...

Find a way to shorten the spirit's slumber.

That's her real purpose today.

However, Lu Fuyue searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Suddenly, a tattered book in the corner caught her attention.

She had never seen such a worn-out book in the library before, and for some reason, she couldn't help but walk towards it.

Lu Fuyue picked up the book and looked at it, then her expression suddenly changed drastically. "The Origin of Demonic Resentment"?

The book transformed into a golden light and rushed into Lu Fuyue's brow, and information about the book appeared in her mind.

"The Element of Demonic Resentment"

The Demon Clan's Heavenly Ultimate Technique.

...

Lu Fuyue's pupils suddenly contracted. How could it be a demonic cultivation technique? How could a demonic cultivation technique appear in the Tianxuan Sect's library and even enter her sea of ​​consciousness?

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded, startling Lu Fuyue. She wished she could take out the demonic cultivation manual from her sea of ​​consciousness and throw it away.

However, that cultivation technique was extremely domineering, and no matter what Lu Fuyue did, she could not get it out of her sea of ​​consciousness.

"You are... Fu Yue?" Lu Yuanxing was somewhat surprised, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the pale-faced little girl from before had grown up so much.

If it weren't for the familiar red birthmark on her forehead, he might not have recognized her.

"Senior Brother, is that you?"

When Lu Fuyue heard someone call her name, she looked up and saw that it was her senior brother Lu Yuanxing, who had been in seclusion for five years.

Lu Yuanxing was Lu Zhengming's eldest disciple and also an abandoned baby picked up by Lu Fuyue's mother. Later, during a talent test, he was found to have a superior fire spirit root, and thus became her father's first disciple.

"Senior Brother, you've emerged from seclusion?"

"Yes, but what are you doing here? Have you reached the Golden Core stage in cultivation?"
