The True Meaning of "It Really Is a Book"!

The Venerable White struck out with four palms, greatly slowing the descent of the Myriad Books Mountain. This allowed it to land as 'lightly' as possible, without causing too much tremor. It was like an ant striking a fat adult with its palm.

Under the control of the predecessors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', the position where Myriad Books Mountain fell upside down was exactly where it had been crouching before.

Myriad Books Mountain: "..." Mom, these people are scary, I want to go home.

No, his mountain peak is about to plunge into the ground, the mountain peak... will shatter!

Myriad Books Mountain is under a lot of pressure!

Song Shuhang scratched his face sheepishly, feeling somewhat sorry for 'Myriad Books Mountain' —because he had spoken too quickly, arousing the interest of the seniors in 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', which led to Myriad Books Mountain being almost ruined.

Myriad Books Mountain has no face, but Song Shuhang can understand its bewildered state. Hopefully, it won't leave any psychological trauma.

As the 'Myriad Books Mountain' was about to crash into the ground, Song Shuhang slightly straightened his stance, preparing to meet the impending impact.

"It's going to crash! No! My arm, please grow back quickly!" Myriad Books Mountain cried out. However, its tiny arm was already shattered and showed no sign of regrowth anytime soon—perhaps its arm needed repair?

"Ahhhhh!" Myriad Books Mountain screamed in terror.

Perhaps its fear was too intense... Then, it did something that left all the members of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' dumbfounded.

Its originally short and thick legs suddenly and rapidly extended. Then, its two legs bent and touched the ground like a gymnast's contortionist move.

If this were a human beauty, this posture would be considered bending backward. But Myriad Books Mountain has no waist; its current state is that its two legs are bent and supporting it on the ground, with the massive mountain suspended in the air.

Heaven knows how its outstretched legs managed to support its massive mountainside.

Well... Myriad Books Mountain is currently in a completely upside-down state.

The pose was so beautiful that Song Shuhang couldn't bear to look at it.

Venerable White exclaimed, "Oh, oh, oh, amazing!"

"I can't hold on any longer, I can't hold on much longer. Quick, let them turn me over!" Myriad Books Mountain cried out anxiously.

Venerable White shook his head. "But the Sage Silence Pool hasn't emerged yet."

"Damn the Sage Silence Pool! I have no memory of such a thing. I've done handstands hundreds and thousands of times before, and it's never appeared. Pull me up, I can't take it anymore!"

"Hold on a little longer and see, don't give up," Venerable White encouraged.

"Hold on my foot! I'm going to cry!" Myriad Books Mountain's thighs had already started trembling.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Crying out? That's right, could the Sage Silence Pool be formed from the tears that Myriad Books Mountain shed after he couldn't hold on any longer?"

Myriad Books Mountain is so vast, if it were to cry its tears, they would surely form a small lake in no time.

"Stop joking! I don't have any tears at all. I'm just using a metaphor, a metaphor, you understand? Have you ever seen a 'mountain' cry?" Myriad Books Mountain shouted.

Venerable White was somewhat disappointed. "There are no tears... and the Sage Silence Pool remains completely still. The Upside-Down Myriad Books Mountain simply cannot draw out the Sage Silence Pool."

After pondering for a moment, Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, "Perhaps, we need to stand upside down in the right place for the 'Sage Silence Pool' to be revealed?"

Many government equipment systems have this limitation: they must be opened at the right time, in the right place, and in the right way.

"But where is the right place?" Venerable White yawned; he was getting sleepy.

"How about we put it down?" Song Shuhang suggested, his gaze fixed on the sky. At that moment, a figure was approaching from there.

It's True Lord Eternal Fire; he's finally arrived. I wonder what he'll think when True Lord gets there and sees his 'Myriad Books Mountain' performing a backbend like a gymnast?

"Don't rush, wait a little longer. I'm really interested in the Sage Silence Pool," Venerable White replied.

Song Shuhang reminded him, "But Senior True Lord Eternal Fire has already arrived."

"It's alright, he's already seen it anyway, it doesn't matter," Venerable White said lazily.

As they spoke, True Lord Eternal Fire landed in front of Shuhang and the others. He looked at Myriad Books Mountain and smiled bitterly, "What exactly is going on?"

Didn't they say that after Myriad Books Mountain developed limbs, he was performing a handstand and then failed? Why is he now performing contortionism?

The Venerable White rubbed his eyes, about to answer... when, a change occurred.

Myriad Books Mountain has cracked open!

The 600-meter-high Myriad Books Mountain split open in the middle, revealing two enormous... pages?

Is this Myriad Books Mountain?

Myriad Books Mountain, is it really a... book?

Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.

"Wait, what's going on?" The most surprised was Myriad Books Mountain himself. "Why did I split open? What's inside my stomach? And it's glowing? Am I going to die?"

When the Venerable White saw this, his eyes finally lit up—was the Sage Silence Pool about to appear?

What kind of treasures might be inside?

But suddenly, Venerable White remembered something else.

Even if the Sage Silence Pool appears, and there are treasures inside... Venerable White glanced at True Lord Eternal Fire. The master is here; even if they obtain any treasures, they must hand them over to this master.

Thinking of this, Venerable White's interest immediately waned.

At this moment, the Myriad Books Mountain fully opened, revealing the text on it. Huge characters filled the pages.

Song Shuhang recognized this script immediately; it was an ancient script used by Confucian School. The "Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode" in the Infinite Retake Exam was written in this script.

Although Song Shuhang has now learned to 'recite from memory' the "Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode", he still cannot decipher these ancient characters.

"Senior Eternal Fire, what does it say?" Song Shuhang asked curiously.

After reading it for a moment, True Lord Eternal Fire said, "This should be the <Sage's Nurturing Nature Ode>."

"The Sage's Nurturing Nature Ode?" Song Shuhang's lips twitched.

Just from the name, you can tell that the content on these two pages is a continuation of the previous "Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode".

But... what does this thing have to do with the 'Sage Silence Pool'?

Could it be that we're going to enter another 'Infinite Retake Exam' mode, where they have to memorize the entire "Sage's Nurturing Nature Ode" before the Sage Silence Pool will appear?

The thought of Infinite Retake Exam sent a chill down Shuhang's spine.

He subconsciously widened his eyes, relying on his powerful memory as a cultivator to forcibly memorize this "Sage's Nurturing Nature Ode".

I'll write this down first; I might need it later.
