Chapter 261 The Void Sword Domain, the Time Hasn't Come Yet
After the little incident...
Jiang Yuan went to the library of Shenwu Academy, intending to find a suitable meditation method for Mo Xixi.
The Starry Sky Sun Visualization Method was the most suitable visualization method for him to cultivate, but it was not suitable for Mo Xixi to cultivate.
Using his professorial authority, he bypassed the restrictions and arrived at the highest level, the seventh floor.
This place is called "Book World".
It's like a little secret realm.
The moment Jiang Yuan appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of someone.
"Um?"
Strands of light flew out from the bookshelf and converged in front of Jiang Yuan to form a glowing, floating phantom. It sat on a large book, staring at Jiang Yuan with its big, round eyes.
"Who are you? Why do you possess the authority of a professor at the Divine Martial Academy when you are so young?"
The being before him had no aura or realm, yet it seemed to be the embodiment of some kind of rule. This was the first time Jiang Yuan had ever seen such a being.
He immediately used [See Through All Things] to probe His true nature.
But to his surprise, the other person sensed his intention, warily covering herself with her small hands, and said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Don't peek at me!"
Jiang Yuan became even more curious and asked, "What exactly are you?"
"How rude of me! I'm nothing at all." The little creature crossed its arms and said haughtily, "I am the noble and ancient spirit of the Book Realm. Don't underestimate me because I'm small; I existed even before this academy. For example, your academy's first principal was someone I watched grow up."
Jiang Yuan became even more interested and used [See Through All Things] again. This time, he broke through the barrier of that invisible force and saw some clues.
"The Book of Wisdom..."
"Hey, I told you not to peek! If you keep doing this, I'll kick you out!" the little thing said angrily, but it looked extremely cute.
Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Alright, I won't watch anymore, okay?"
"Hmph, that's more like it. But speaking of which, your eyes are really strange. The level of your pupil technique is astonishingly high; even I don't recognize it... This means that this kind of power has never appeared in any written records of the Great Xia Dynasty." The glowing little thing circled around Jiang Yuan, saying with great curiosity, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Jiang Yuan".
"Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan... I've got it. Are you a new professor at the academy?"
"right."
"Okay, I've already retrieved your professor's information, and it matches perfectly. Judging from your bone age, you're not even eighteen. This is the first time I've seen such a young professor; you're amazing." The little one genuinely praised, "What are you looking for? I'll help you."
"I'm looking for a visualization method suitable for girls to practice."
"No problem, leave it to me." The little glowing thing said confidently. With a wave of its little hand, different colored light spots gathered in front of Jiang Yuan, forming four books.
"Here are the visualization methods for ascending to heaven under the glow of the sunset, the visualization method for the bright moon over the sea, the visualization method for crystal, and the visualization method for flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. These are all visualization methods that are very suitable for girls to practice, and their quality is also quite high."
Jiang Yuan examined them one by one and found that they were indeed all visualization techniques of a very high grade.
They quickly selected one of the books.
The Method of Contemplating the Bright Moon Over the Sea
"Have you made your choice? Exchanging for this book requires 3 merit points. Professor status allows for a folded reward," said the glowing little guy.
Even if you get the double reward, it's still 1 merit points, which is equivalent to 5 million.
For advanced visualization techniques, this is considered inexpensive.
"Deduct it from my merit points."
Jiang Yuandao.
"Okay~"
After the merit points were deducted, the glowing little guy seemed to smell the scent of money and clung to Jiang Yuan relentlessly.
"Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan, would you like to see anything else? We also have some top-tier martial arts techniques and magic manuals here, at very reasonable prices."
"Or if you have some rare and good martial arts skills or magic, you can sell them to me too."
Is this kind of service even available?
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that he might give it a try next time he was short of money.
"Let's talk about it next time. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
"Alright... Don't forget to come again," the little one instructed, then opened a door of light.
Jiang Yuan stepped inside, half his body disappearing into the portal, then turned back and asked:
"What's your name?"
Having already seen the guests off, the little one, who was sitting on the bookshelf swinging his legs, paused for a moment and replied, "Name? I am the noble and ancient spirit of the book world, Shuyin."
"Shuyin, I've remembered it." After saying that, Jiang Yuan turned around and disappeared into the portal.
The little one continued swinging his legs, sitting on the bookshelf listening to the sounds of words colliding within thousands of books, humming a little tune and singing a song.
I was in a good mood after making money earlier, and I'm in an even better mood now.

"With a suitable visualization method, all that's left is to cultivate step by step, and then we can consider which specific path to take after she awakens her talent..."
As Jiang Yuan left the library, he thought to himself that he had already paved the way for Mo Xixi's cultivation.
Even if her awakened talent is not good, he is confident that he can turn Mo Xixi into a grandmaster martial artist by relying on resources.
"Hey, I heard that Senior Sikong has appeared in the Void Sword Domain."
A girl on the roadside excitedly told her companion.
"Really?"
"Hey, let's go quickly too!"
"It's all your fault for dawdling. You kept saying that the main character always arrives last... I've never seen such a useless main character. I've been starving for three days straight following you, and I can barely afford skill books anymore."
"Hehe, isn't it because the cheat system hasn't arrived yet? Stop talking nonsense and let's go."
……
"It's almost time."
Jiang Yuan watched as the numerous students, each displaying their unique skills, headed towards the Martial Arts Department.
There was no further dawdling.
Just as he was about to take action.
A girl sitting on the back of a blue phoenix saw him on the ground below and recognized him.
"It's him..."
A huge shadow loomed over Jiang Yuan's head.
He raised his head.
The girl reached out her hand to him in the sunlight and smiled, "Are you Jiang Yuan?"
"Do we know each other?"
"I'm Yan Runan's good friend, my name is Lu Qian. You're also going to the Martial Arts Department, right? I'll take you with me, it's quite far from there." The girl was very enthusiastic, full of the care and love of a senior for a junior.
He was met with a warm invitation from a beautiful "senior".
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, but it's alright."
As he activated the professor's badge on his chest, a portal of light leading directly to the Void Sword Domain instantly appeared in front of him.
Jiang Yuan said to Lu Qian, "I'll go first."
Then, to her bewildered surprise, he stepped straight through the portal and disappeared.
Lu Qian scratched his cheek, looking completely bewildered.
"Didn't Ru Nan say he had an elemental talent? How did it become a spatial talent?"
……
Martial Arts-based Secret Realm – [Ethereal Sword Domain]
The sky was a deep, verdant green, lush and verdant.
On a vast and boundless grassland, people were now standing densely packed together.
In the center of the grassland, there is a depression, which is a large lake.
The lakeside is surrounded by towering rocks that point straight into the sky like sharp swords, exuding a menacing aura.
At this moment, powerful figures, either in twos and threes or alone, stood atop those sword-shaped rocks. Some were meditating, some were talking, some were resting with their eyes closed, and some were eating.
The top of the largest sword rock had been flattened by a single sword strike, and a dozen or so people, all members of the Sword Society, stood there.
Zhang Qi, who had met Jiang Yuan once before, and He Xuanjia were also among them.
Looking at the increasing number of students and mentors on the distant grassland, Zhang Qi exclaimed in amazement, "There are more and more people. I didn't expect the selection competition to be held here."
"Isn't this great? This is our home turf, and it might allow the minister to perform even better," He Xuanjia said, glancing admiringly at Ye Jiuling, who was sitting cross-legged on a rock not far away.
Zhang Qi said, "I wonder what kind of person the new professor of swordsmanship will be."
A petite girl carrying a sword said with a smile, "I hope to be like Professor Chen Zhen, strong and capable, and able to get along well with students."
"To be the main candidate for this selection competition, you must be very strong, right?" He Xuanjia remarked.
Suddenly, Ye Jiuling opened her eyes and turned her head to look.
A portal of light appeared between them, and before they could react, a figure in black stepped out from it.
Jiang Yuan looked around, sensing the broken rules of this world and the invisible sword intent, and nodded slightly.
"So that's how it is. This is the Void Sword Domain."
"It is indeed a good training ground for sword-wielding martial artists."
Zhang Qi and He Xuanjia recognized him and looked astonished.
"Who are you……!"
The petite, sword-wielding girl let out a sharp scream, covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at Jiang Yuan with the other. Her eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration as she shouted incredulously, "You...you...you...you...you are Jiang Yuan?!"
The other members of the Sword Club all looked surprised.
Ye Jiuling looked curious.
Is he the rumored Jiang Yuan?
Under the bewildered and astonished gazes of Zhang Qi and He Xuanjia.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Ye Jiuling, his gaze lingering on her sword for a second, and smiled, "Not bad. Work hard, and perhaps you'll have a sliver of hope of being chosen."
Ye Jiuling raised an eyebrow.
Yo?
A freshman, with such a big mouth, actually started encouraging me.
Do you consider yourself a mentor or a professor?
"It seems you're very confident in your abilities. How about we have a spar?" Ye Jiuling was full of fighting spirit, and the pebbles beneath her feet turned to dust on their own under the overflowing sword energy.
Jiang Yuan glanced at his watch and said, "It's not time yet. Let's wait until everyone arrives."
"Wait my ass!" Ye Jiuling raised his hand and unleashed a sword strike. The extremely sharp Yellow Spring Sword Qi hissed as it tore through the air, instantly arriving in front of Jiang Yuan before splitting into nine and whistling past.
"Swish!!"
The ground and rocks behind Jiang Yuan were cut open, with perfectly smooth cut surfaces.
The sword energy, condensed and undiminished, continued to fly out, only to be shattered by a beam of light as it approached another sword rock.
The tenth-ranked academy member, Bow King Chang Baimo, stood atop Sword Rock and calmly said, "Go ahead and fight, but don't let it affect me."
"Crunch!"
A thick, dazzling bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky and struck a sword-shaped rock.
A tall, slender figure clad in lightning armor, obscuring his face, rose from the crowd, holding a bolt of lightning, and smiled, "Has it begun?"
At the tops of other sword rocks, powerful young men slowly opened their eyes and stood up.
In an instant, the entire lakeside was in chaos, with various elements in disarray, blood and qi surging to the sky, and all sorts of energies intertwining, causing the emerald green lake water to ripple.
Jiang Yuan sighed, pinching the longsword Ye Jiuling had slashed behind him between two fingers, and said, "Why are all the young people in such a hurry?"
"Didn't I say? The time isn't up yet."
