Soul, Body, and Psychic Energy
The rubbing only flickered briefly before returning to normal.
If Shisui hadn't witnessed its unusual activity firsthand, no one would have known that this rubbing had also attracted some Psychic Energy because of its contents.
Shisui tossed the book in his hand with interest; it wasn't heavy, only about two finger joints thick.
Would a book of this caliber, a book about the soul, really have so little content?
He glanced at the other unremarkable books on spiritual matters below, each one as thick as a palm.
The case is solved; the problem lies with this book.
He gently turned to the first page, where a warm reminder immediately came into view.
The gist is that this book is a rubbing of the first volume of the book "Soul, Body, and Psychic Energy," and there are also the second, third, and fourth volumes.
As expected.
With that thought in mind, Shisui closed the book; he didn't intend to read it here.
This is ultimately someone else's "doorway," and occupying it for too long might attract unnecessary attention to his identity.
So he simply took the book and prepared to go to the front desk to complete the borrowing procedure.
Before leaving, he left a small, inconspicuous gift on the edge of the bookshelf.
After leaving that corner and walking past a few bookshelves, he encountered Bo Xiqian, who was heading this way.
With Shisui indifferent expression, he brushed past them, showing no sign that the other person was his target.
It seems this kid has quite a few secrets at school; no wonder Bo Xiwan has his eye on him.
Shisui Sui glanced discreetly behind him, then walked straight to the front desk as if nothing had happened.
"Hello, I'd like to borrow some books."
"Okay, is this your first time borrowing a book?"
"Right."
The library staff member on duty at the front desk took the book Shisui handed over and continued speaking.
"Please take out your student ID so I can enter your information."
The staff member spoke in a gentle and polite tone, and although their voice was low, their pronunciation was clear.
Shisui noticed that she was wearing inconspicuous brown-black contact lenses, as if she was deliberately hiding her original eye color.
She took the brooch from Shisui and first adjusted and restored the slightly bent soft metal at the back of the brooch.
Only then did she place the brooch on the Recording Device.
In just a moment, she finished everything and returned the book and brooch to Shisui.
Shisui took the book and student ID, and asked, "Do you know where the last three volumes of this book are?"
"Please wait a moment, let me check."
She turned around, pulled out one of the many neatly arranged folders, and quickly began searching through them.
"Student, the original volume one and the rubbings of volumes two and three are both on the second floor."
"The original copies of the second and third volumes are on the third floor."
There is no rubbing of the fourth volume; it's on the fourth floor.
The fourth floor, is it the Heaven Realm?
Shisui gently stroked the cover of the first rubbing in his hand, smiled, and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
You're welcome, take care.
Having obtained the information he wanted, Shisui did not linger any longer and turned to leave the library.
Shisui carried the book under his arm, carefully checking his student ID as he walked.
As he passed by the huge fountain, he inexplicably felt that something was watching and observing him.
It wasn't his imagination; although the gaze wasn't malicious, it followed him with a probing look, making him quite uncomfortable.
Who exactly is it?
Shisui Sui glanced around at the scattered students passing by out of the corner of his eye. In order not to alert them, he did not recklessly unleash his senses, but instead quietly infiltrated.
However, he gained nothing until the other person looked away.
My opponent is far stronger than me. With my current cultivation level, I can't even pinpoint their approximate location.
But I could also sense his gaze.
Something's not right, is the other side in our Earth Realm?
He could only deduce the opponent's strength based on the faint feeling he had gathered so far.
Shisui strode away from the library; directly behind him stood a statue in the fountain.
The figure's eyes are sculpted as if they are covered by a cloth, and at a certain moment, the curve of the eyeballs seems to move slightly.
The author, editor, and printer of the book "Soul, Body, and Psychic Energy" are unknown.
Even before it was discovered by the Academic Clique, its ownership was unknown.
It was simply hidden in a corner of the Shengtian Public School library, and in recent years, under the deliberate guidance of certain forces, it has rarely been mentioned.
Shisui sealed the inn room with Feather Powder before opening the book again.
For storage and distribution purposes, books on Ruolan Star use thicker and stiffer paper than those in the Ghoul world.
Therefore, Shisui finished reading the first volume, which was two fingers thick, in less than half a day.
"Call--"
Shisui closed the book again and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this is the Profound Realm now; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to finish reading the book in one go.
The first volume of "Soul, Body, and Psychic Energy" mainly expounds on Ruolan Star's hypothesis about the ethereal concept of the soul.
The author of this book supports the hypothesis that the soul is the life, memory, and spirit of a living being.
Life is a prerequisite for the existence of the soul;
Memory is the anchor that strengthens the soul;
Spirit refers to an individual's thoughts, will, and emotions.
These three elements intertwine and blend together to form the soul of an individual.
This is merely a hypothesis—that is, a description of what is assumed in research.
This book is based on this hypothesis and consists of a series of practices, proofs, and summaries.
Shisui carefully stored the book in his Alternate Space and mentally reviewed the contents of the first volume.
This is only the first volume, and it is ultimately incomplete.
The explanation of the concept of the physical body, the subsequent speculations about Psychic Energy, and most importantly, the combination of the three.
All of these were only mentioned in the first volume.
"We need to get our hands on the entire book before we're promoted to the Earth Realm."
The path of cultivation emphasizes self-understanding and self-improvement, and he still doesn't know why he transmigrated.
He had a premonition that this book would help him explore his own soul journey.
Before pushing his own potential to its limits, he must figure out why he has crossed over.
Meanwhile, time rewinds to when Shisui left the library.
At this moment, Bo Xiqian once again turned left, bypassing the square fountain, and then headed straight for the gathering place deep inside the library.
"Everyone, breaking news."
"Our school's Vice Principal, Mr. Ji Xingbang, has agreed to support our actions."
"Bo Xi, how are your preparations going?"
"I have united more than half of the collateral branches of the family, as well as some of the Earth Realm Ninth Realm."
After hearing Bo Xiqian's words, some students immediately frowned.
One of them asked directly, "Then, what about the Heaven Realm?"
Although Bo Xiqian was also unsure, he didn't show it on his face and spoke confidently.
"It's alright. It's indeed not appropriate for the Heaven Realm to directly express its opinion before taking action."
"Those Earth Realm are all occupied by their relatives and close friends, which can be seen as a subtle indication of them taking sides."
"As long as we control the head of the family, they will naturally support us."
After saying that, Bo Xiqian nodded with considerable confidence.
"Alright, then the plan will be implemented tomorrow."
"At that time, taking advantage of the chaotic situation during enrollment, the school will first control the other members of the Bo Xi Family, and then begin the operation around the Ringwater Continent."
"Bo Xi, you will lead most of the group to take a boat back to the Wu City tonight."
Bo Xiqian readily agreed, "Okay."
May we achieve a resounding victory!
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with fervor and softly echoed in unison, "May we achieve a resounding victory!"
