The Library Pavilion's secret, the formation in the corner

The ancient Heavenly Demon Race was far stronger and held a much higher status than ancient humans.

Therefore, they know many things that humans did not know, or things that they knew but could not Inheritance or record.

One of them describes the prosperity of ancient times.

At that time, there were not only Myriad Races, but also numerous and countless races.

Because of a catastrophe, only ten Myriad Races survived, but the specific cause of the catastrophe and how it ended are not recorded.

It was only mentioned briefly, but it was clearly a turning point in the entire history of Myriad Races.

Since then, the Devil Race has become increasingly low-key, moving from its most prosperous and bustling areas to remote star systems.

From extravagant and indulgent enjoyment to a simple and plain life.

What people don't realize is that they are now not only ceasing their indulgences, but have begun to suppress them.

This is why the entire Devil Race looks so drab and appears even more backward than the Bone Devouring Race tribe.

They lived a life completely disproportionate to their abilities.

Their Heart Demon make their reason increasingly fragile, and perhaps one day they will succumb to temptation and completely lose their rationality.

They tried to eliminate all distractions from the hustle and bustle of life; even the colors in their lives were gloomy, and a sense of oppression permeated everything.

After so many years of repressive living, not to mention the Devil Race with their strong desires, even humans have broken down!

One can imagine how much they longed for the arrival of their Progenitor Successor.

Having explored many novel historical accounts, perused some unique Cultivation Method, and read about some long-forbidden secretaries, Su Zhan became increasingly engrossed in what he read.

He decided to use this place as Cultivation Room and, according to the "Demonic Artifact Spell" book he had just found, train his ability to control Devil Qi.

Although his strength is automatically generated through Cultivation Method, he still needs to practice more to master the application of that power.

Only with familiar, easily executed attacks can one cultivate the strongest power in the shortest amount of time during war.

Using the methods in this book, the objects created by condensing Devil Qi are truly diverse and interesting.

Starting with simple small machines and tools, and later using Devil Qi to simulate creatures, Su Zhan's techniques became increasingly sophisticated.

Creating intricate creatures is the most difficult; at first, Su Zhan could only use Devil Qi to simulate a stiff and loose elephant.

As they practiced, the craftsmanship became more and more refined and lifelike, resulting in a vivid little rabbit and a tiny ant that moved swiftly and stealthily.

Su Zhan was surprised to discover that these condensed creatures could not only be used for amusement, but also for reconnaissance.

These creatures were all formed from his Devil Qi, originating from his body, and can be considered a part of his body.

Su Zhan could sense these small things formed from Devil Qi and take in all their movements within a one-mile radius.

This was truly an unexpected bonus!

If I want to track someone in the future, I only need to use a little bit of Devil Qi to condense a delicate ant, and with a little modification, I can conceal myself and eavesdrop on everything I want.

If it could penetrate the Defensive Array, that would be ideal. Su Zhan immediately searched for nearby Formation to experiment with.

Guided by the Cultivation Method, they found a small corner in the Library Pavilion.

Seeing this empty little corner, Su Zhan frowned.

Su Zhan: Are you really sure there's a Formation here?

Qianlong: That's really strange. We could clearly sense a small barrier here, which should have been quite powerful, so why can't we see anything now that we're here?

To confirm, Su Zhan activated his Divine Sense, but still could not sense anything.

With some skepticism, he placed the little ant on the ground and guided it to that corner.

The little ant ran over step by step, and actually disappeared before his eyes.

Su Zhan connected with the ants' senses and saw that the ants had entered another world.

You can see yourself inside, but you can't see this small area at all from the outside.

A faint light could be seen inside, and Su Zhan guided the ants toward it.

The light seemed very close, but the little ant couldn't reach it even after walking for 10 minutes. The little ant wasn't slow, so there was only one possibility left.

This Formation possesses Space Attribute and is much larger than he had imagined.

What could be hidden inside this mesospace that has existed for so long under the noses of so many Heavenly Demon Kings?

Su Zhan was extremely excited; anything that needed to be hidden in such a concealed manner must be a real treasure.

After walking for a while, the little ant finally reached its destination and saw a glittering golden Pearl floating in mid-air.

Su Zhan tried to get closer, but the little ant seemed to be frozen in place and could no longer move forward.

The things inside couldn't move, so Su Zhan could only try to open it from the outside, but no matter how he attacked, the Formation remained unmoved.

Su Zhan all the Formation knowledge he had learned before, but there was still no reaction.

This thing filled Su Zhan with a damnable sense of unease. Confirming he couldn't get close, he stopped.

Anyway, he'll be staying here for a while, and he'll definitely find a way to get his hands on this thing.

During the time waiting for the competition to begin, Su Zhan spent his time in the Library Pavilion, browsing through various classic texts from time to time, and occasionally going out to relax and unwind, treating it as a vacation.

He spent five comfortable days, and thanks to the diligent practice of the Cultivation Method, his strength improved significantly, making him much stronger than when he fought Qing Mu.

The opponents for the match were determined by drawing lots, and Su Zhan, whether lucky or unlucky, drew the first opponent in the first match.

His opponent was a young Devil Race prodigy named Luo Xue.

When Su Zhan saw the Luo Xue, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Having lived here for some time and seen all sorts of Devil Race, he always felt there was something strange about this person.

Ordinary Grade Devil Race are only black and gray in color, and even the pupils of commoners are dull.

The person in front of me was also dressed in gray and black, but he had an extra layer of gloom compared to others, as if there was a layer of black mist around him that could not be dispelled.

Its pupils were also different from those of other Devil Race, gray with a faint crimson tinge.

Despite his formidable strength, he has an extremely low profile if you're not paying attention, often making people forget that he's even standing nearby.

Su Zhan's intuition was correct; this person had abandoned the traditional cultivation methods of ordinary Devil Race since childhood, specializing in assassination techniques.

That's why, despite his overwhelming murderous aura, he's easily overlooked.

The greatest secret to assassination is concealment. To avoid attracting attention, he had hidden in the shadows for so long that he had become tainted with the aura of darkness.

Once his clan learned of his hidden talent, this was his destined fate: to become a shadowy assassination genius.
