Knowledge and books were humanity's starting point and its road forward, yet that road had no end!
Fang Yun gazed at these towering mountains, drew a deep breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and quickly scanned them.
These books came in all sorts of types and colors. They contained the sages' insights, flights of fancy, deductions, accounts of cultivation, battle experience, and even complete memories!
Books of memories were the most precious books in Book Mountain, and every one stood at the summit of its respective mountain.
