The words were barely out of his mouth when Qin Bo circulated his vital energy, filling his entire body.

"You kid, you've already broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm?!"

"That's not right, how did you break through without a Blood Condensation Realm cultivation method?!"

"Cough... maybe I'm just exceptionally talented? I comprehended a cultivation method at a critical moment, otherwise, I'm afraid the seal below wouldn't have been completed so quickly!"

The old man in black robe stared at Qin Bo with a suspicious look, but the situation was urgent, and he had no time to investigate further.

He simply said, "Forget it, no matter what method you used, it's a good thing you broke through. Now that you've reached the Blood Condensation Realm, your strength has greatly increased, and you can stand alone."

The Three-Eyed Divine Bird laughed from the side, "It seems this kid has unlimited potential, and may become a pillar of the Demon Suppressing Division in the future."

Qin Bo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "The two seniors are too kind, the top priority is to solve the trouble in Yunzhou City."

"Alright, your assessment ends here. Come back with me to report!"

"Yes! By the way, senior, this feather of yours..."

"It's a gift for you. Consider it a life-saving measure, allowing you to teleportation a certain distance at random.

"Remember, kid, only the living are worthy of being called strong!"

Qin Bo carefully put away the Three-Eyed Divine Bird's feather, his heart full of gratitude, "Thank you, senior, I will definitely remember your teachings."

Afterwards, Qin Bo followed the Black Robe Elder out of this place.

With a burst of dizziness, the two returned to the valley once more.

"Elder, I still don't know your name?"

"This old man's name is Sun Yu!"

"Elder Sun, what kind of special divine beast is that Divine Bird senior?"

Sun Yu smiled slightly, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes:

"That is the Three-Eyed Divine Bird, a descendant of ancient divine birds. The Three-Eyed Divine Bird clan is born with the ability to see through yin and yang and travel through space, and their strength is extremely powerful."

"In ancient times, the Three-Eyed Divine Bird clan stood shoulder to shoulder with many powerful races, guarding the peace of the world."

"It's just that after countless years of changes, the race has gradually declined, and I'm afraid there are very few left in this world today."

Hearing this, Qin Bo couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the identity of the Three-Eyed Divine Bird.

To be able to fight alongside such a descendant of ancient divine birds was a great honor for him.

"Elder Sun, are there any powerful beings like the Three-Eyed Divine Bird senior in the Demon Suppressing Division?"

Qin Bo asked curiously.

"Aren't you talking nonsense! If there were so many powerful beings, would we still be unable to solve the problem of Yunzhou City?"

"Then what is the strength of this Divine Bird senior?"

"She has not yet grown into a complete body, and only has the strength of the Spirit Fusion Realm!"

"Hiss... isn't she about the same as that Tree Demon under Yunzhou City?!"

"The Tree Demon was originally King level, but was forcibly cut down a level."

Qin Bo took a deep breath, and had a deeper understanding of the crisis in Yunzhou City.

A Tree Demon that had been cut down a level was already so tricky, so how terrifying would its original King level strength be.

Just like the Ghost King suppressed in the Evil Suppressing Forest, Qin Bo didn't know how strong its true strength was.

"Elder Sun, how was this Tree Demon suppressed in the first place?"

Qin Bo asked curiously.

Sun Yu said with a solemn expression, "This Tree Demon was originally the guardian of an ancient forest near Yunzhou City, but for some reason, its temperament suddenly changed, and it began to harm the people."

"Decades ago, several masters from the Demon Suppressing Division joined forces and launched a fierce battle with the Tree Demon. Although they finally succeeded in severely injuring it and cutting down its realm, they also paid a heavy price!"

Qin Bo nodded silently, gaining a deeper understanding of the foundation of the Demon Suppressing Division and the hardships of the past.

Soon, the two returned to Yunzhou City.

"Qin boy, the other assessment personnel have not yet returned, so you should rest for a while."

"Of course, I will report your strength, and you should be able to be promoted to Day Roamer."

"Thank you, Elder Sun."

Sun Yu brought Qin Bo to the front of the Library Pavilion.

Sun Yu said:

"This place contains the cultivation methods, secrets, and records of various supernatural events accumulated by the Demon Suppressing Division over countless years."

"Now that you have become a Demon Suppressing Guard, you have the right to enter it to select cultivation methods suitable for you and consult information."

"Understood!"

Qin Bo looked at the ancient and heavy Library Pavilion in front of him, his heart full of anticipation.

This Library Pavilion contains countless knowledge and inheritance of the Demon Suppressing Division, and perhaps brainstorming can inspire him to deduce cultivation methods.

Sun Yu patted Qin Bo's shoulder, "Take a good look; you might find unexpected gains."

With that, Sun Yu turned and left.

Qin Bo hurriedly entered the Library Pavilion.

Pushing open the door, he saw a staircase inside, with a desk placed at the foot of the stairs.

An old man, past his prime, was dozing off behind the desk.

He seemed to wake up slowly at the sound of Qin Bo opening the door.

Rubbing his eyes, his gaze landed on Qin Bo, and after looking him up and down, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Boy, are you a new Demon Suppressing Guard? Did you come to this Library Pavilion to find cultivation methods and martial skills?"

Qin Bo quickly and respectfully replied, "Senior, this junior is Qin Bo. I just became a Demon Suppressing Guard. I've come to consult some cultivation methods and information."

The old man nodded slightly and pointed to the stairs:

"Go up. The first floor has basic cultivation methods and records of common anomaly events."

"The second floor has some advanced cultivation methods and rare monster information."

"The third floor contains the experiences of past Demon Suppressing Division experts and extremely confidential event records. However, with your current Demon Suppressing Guard status, you can only operate on the first floor."

"Choose one cultivation method and one martial skill, and bring them here to register. You can browse other records at will."

"Thank you for letting me know, Senior."

Qin Bo nodded his thanks and went up the stairs to the first floor.

Inside the first floor, bookshelves stood in neat rows like towering ramparts, exuding an ancient aura.

First, he needed to find something about the cause of the anomaly outbreak in this world.

Then, information about the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

Finally, he needed to find two cultivation methods and martial skills suitable for himself. Perhaps the two cultivation methods could be used to deduce each other in the future, forming a more powerful cultivation method.

Qin Bo walked along the aisle, his eyes quickly scanning the bookshelves.

There were not many books in the area about the cause of the anomaly outbreak.

Qin Bo picked up a slightly worn book called An Examination of Netherworld Anomalies.

The book speculated that the anomaly outbreak might be related to the instability of the Netherworld.

The Netherworld is a space closely connected to the mortal world, yet mysterious and unpredictable.

When the balance of the Netherworld is broken, some Evil forces will seep into the mortal world, giving rise to anomalies.

But as for what broke the balance of the Netherworld, the book did not mention it.

Next, Qin Bo found a Complete History of the Great Yan Dynasty on the bookshelf containing records of dynasty information.
