The next day, Cheng Nanxiong took Li Qingxian to browse the Miscellaneous Book Hall of Ancient Profound Mountain. He said Zhou Hen's sparring had been of great help to Ancient Profound Mountain, so Zhou Hen was permitted to choose any martial art from Ancient Profound Mountain apart from the three major martial arts.
Zhou Hen remained outwardly impassive, but his heartbeat quickened slightly.
Zhou Hen went to the Martial Dao Book Hall to select martial arts, while Li Qingxian went to the Miscellaneous Book Hall to browse Ancient Profound Mountain's collection.
Ancient Profound Mountain had a long legacy, and the sheer number of its books was beyond imagination.
After reading for only a short while, Li Qingxian discovered an original copy of the Yuanhai Notes. He immediately forgot about leaving, immersing himself in the book hall as he gathered Fate Arts books and sorted them before reading.
Seeing how much Li Qingxian liked them, the people of Ancient Profound Mountain were even happier. These miscellaneous books were useless to them anyway; they might as well do him a favor and let the current carry the boat along.
Another three days passed. Li Qingxian was reading the Fate Arts Notes when an unusual tremor suddenly sounded from the direction of the Ancient Profound Treasury, and waves of powerful pressure spread outward.
A long, desolate voice rang out.
"See... me... as... a god..."
Li Qingxian put down his book, walked out of the room, braced himself against the railing, and looked toward the Ancient Profound Treasury.
Above the Ancient Profound Treasury stood a new, translucent golden mountain. At its summit sat an old man with long eyebrows—Ancient Profound Mountain's Second Elder, the Long-Browed Freak Liang Kaishi.
Li Qingxian sighed softly, thinking that the twists of human fate truly were wondrous.
