The First Carrying Book Slave

Everything returned to calm, and the full moon in the sky shone on the earth with the help of the sun's rays.

"Is it over?" one of the cultivators asked, bewildered.

"It should be over by now..." The other cultivator's answer was ambiguous, neither affirmative nor negative.

"Crunch~"

A slight sound of a door opening was heard, and everyone instinctively looked towards the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore, only to find that the door remained closed.

"It's a side entrance!" a practitioner exclaimed.

The so-called side door is actually a small door or back door. In ancient times, in addition to the main gate, a large family's house would also have such a small door for easy access.

The side entrance to the Mysterious Bookstore is in a small alley on the right. Due to the large number of people, it's impossible to squeeze in; you can only stand on tiptoe and look out.

There used to be a group of cultivators crowded in the alley, but now everyone noticed that the cultivators inside were retreating Zhengyi one, with expressions of shock on their faces.

"What exactly is going on?" This phenomenon attracted everyone's attention, but since this was the Mysterious Bookstore, everyone restrained their thoughts of climbing over the wall, their curiosity tickling them like Tickle.

However, soon all the cultivators in the alley withdrew, and the onlookers also began to retreat to both sides due to the flow of people.

This time everyone cooperated well, obediently retreating one by one.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget.

An elderly man with a hunched back walked out of the alley step by step.

He was barefoot, wearing hemp trousers and his upper body was naked. His body was covered with densely packed, faintly golden characters, which stood out especially in the darkness.

Most importantly, on his back was a thick, large, golden book, which seemed so heavy that it bent him over.

His left palm was facing upwards, and a dark, Exquisite Pagoda lay there quietly, looking completely inconspicuous.

His attire was particularly strange, and there wasn't a trace of Spiritual Power emanating from him; he seemed like an ordinary person.

"Is he Li Bieli?" a cultivator asked softly, looking at the hunched old man.

"It's him. The book he's carrying looks like the Diamond Sutra from the Bookstore," a practitioner said, frowning.

"Not only is the Diamond Sutra on his back, but if I'm not mistaken, the tattoos on his body should also be from the Diamond Sutra," another cultivator said in a deep voice, squinting at Li Bieli's figure.

"Did the shop owner save him?" someone asked.

Since Li Bieli came out of the Mysterious Bookstore and was carrying the Diamond Sutra on his back, the only explanation is that Li Bieli received help from the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore.

"Why carry a book on your back? And why carve words on your body?"

Most cultivators were puzzled by this. In their minds, it should be easy for the Mysterious Bookstore to save Li Bieli, after all, there was a copy of "Thousand Gold Formulas" in the Bookstore, which was a miraculous book that had cured Zhou Zhuling's "Nine Colds" incurable disease.

Books like the Diamond Sutra have been classified as martial arts techniques by many readers, so logically they shouldn't be able to save the aging Li Bieli.

Where is he going?

As everyone speculated, they discovered that Li Bieli had actually turned around and started heading Zhenbei; it would be another two miles from there to leave Dubian Town.

Who would be out so late at night for no reason? Besides, Li Bieli's attire was really puzzling to everyone.

"He should still be carrying the reward he received today, right? And now he's carrying that copy of the Diamond Sutra on his back too." A cultivator stared at Li Bieli and said in a sinister tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone remembered that Li Bieli still had the reward he won in today's Pokémon Championship!

Instantly, everyone's gaze towards Li Bieli changed.

Having Spirit Ancestor Stage Five cultivation level, possessing a rare divine book and a spirit of Sacred Beast quality—this is not a blessing, but a curse!

However, no cultivators around tried to Snatch anything from Li Bieli. The main reason for this was that they couldn't figure out what magical item the Mysterious Bookstore had given Li Bieli. You see, from this afternoon until now, Dubian Town has been shrouded in a state of rampant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and this phenomenon happened at the Mysterious Bookstore!

Li Bieli had followed the shop owner into the Mysterious Bookstore in the afternoon and didn't come out until evening. Given that she had inexplicably become like this, it wasn't hard to guess who had caused the phenomenon that occurred that afternoon.

Nobody's a fool. With such a huge situation arising, such a drastic change in Li Bieli, and the complete lack of any discernible cultivation level, who would believe there's nothing wrong with this?!

But now that they've finally seen Li Bieli alone, heading out of Dubian Town, facing such a huge Captivate, how many people could resist?

Thus, nearly ten thousand cultivators followed Li Bieli, step by step, out of Dubian Town.

Li Bieli walked very slowly; his hunched body, withered face, and gait truly gave him the appearance of an old man in his twilight years.

But no matter how slowly Li Bieli walked, his steps were so powerful and steady, the books on his back remained motionless, and the Exquisite Pagoda in his hand Taishan Mount Tai.

However, he eventually left Dubian Town.

As soon as they left Dubian Town, the surrounding cultivators began to scatter rapidly, each searching for a favorable position, ready to seize any opportunity to Snatch the Yellow Quality books.

There were too many people, and the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.

Li Bieli paid no attention to the behavior of these people and continued walking northward step by step.

As required, he was to travel north, traversing the Qin State and Yan State, the Northern Liang Great Grassland, and finally reaching the Ice Mountain Snowfield, one of the nine ancient ruins.

I don't know how long this journey will take.

Of course, Li Bieli did not regret it, because he felt an unprecedented power. As long as he stopped being Carrying Book Slave, he could go to the capital, to the Jiang Family, and avenge his mother.

No one can stop him now.

"Whoosh~"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer. An extremely fast figure flew towards Li Bieli, his palm hidden in his sleeve, surging with Spiritual Power, aiming straight for Li Bieli's crown.

This was an intervention from a Spirit Venerable figure.

Perhaps because the books on his back were too heavy, he was bent over so badly that he had to look up to see the flying figure.

"Click~"

Li Bieli struggled to lift her body slightly, revealing a blank face as she looked at the incoming hand, gently raising her free right hand.

'Buzz~'

The scriptures all over Li Bieli's body flashed with golden light, and a huge aura instantly spread out from his body. He formed his right palm and pressed it against the surface.

"Bang!"

A tremendous Tackle resounded, and the Spirit Venerable was sent flying hundreds of meters away by the palm strike, lying motionless on the ground, his fate unknown.

"Hiss!"

The surrounding cultivators were dumbfounded by what they saw and couldn't help but gasp.

That was a powerful figure at the Spirit Venerable realm! And he was sent flying by just one palm strike!

"He's dead!" A cultivator in the distance examined the aura of the Spirit Venerable up close and exclaimed in shock.

One palm strike killed a Spirit Venerable!

The group exchanged bewildered glances, a sense of fear welling up within them.

Just then, Li Bieli suddenly spoke up.

"That palm strike was called the Prajna Palm, and it comes from the Diamond Sutra, Yellow Quality book in the Mysterious Bookstore."
