The Secret of the Western Land Long Family

Long Xuan composed himself and sighed, "I'm truly ashamed to say that I only have a 50% chance of replacing the missing materials in the Blood Dragon Battle Gu. Furthermore, the experimental Gu Recipe will require a massive amount of materials, so you should be prepared."

"Furthermore, I don't like being monitored. I can't have anyone supervising me when I'm researching Gu Recipe. If you trust me, use me; if not, then find someone else!"

Upon hearing this, Long Qian's eyes lit up. He was actually 50% confident, which was an extremely high success rate, far exceeding his expectations.

With such a high success rate, it's absolutely necessary to do it.

"A 50% success rate is already quite high. As for your dislike of being monitored, rest assured, I trust those I employ and I don't employ those I don't trust. I believe you have the integrity to back up your work, and I'm absolutely certain you wouldn't do anything corrupt!"

Long Qian was overjoyed and agreed to Long Xuan's request without hesitation.

Seeing that Long Qian trusted him so much, Long Xuan felt somewhat ashamed. He had trusted the wrong person. He wasn't just greedy; he was planning to take everything. He would consume as many materials as were brought in.

Ironically, after embezzling all the research funds, he actually managed to develop the technology and give his Lineage a satisfactory answer. Isn't that amazing?

"That's settled then. You should take this time to rest and prepare for the battle. It's not too late to study the Dragon Blood Battle Gu Recipe after the arena battle. The Lineage also needs some time to collect the materials that haven't been extinct from the Dragon Blood Battle Gu Recipe." Long Qian stood up and said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll win this arena match too. Take care!" Long Xuan also stood up and saw him off.

Only after watching Long Qian walk away did he close the door and return to the house, a smile of excitement on his face.

It seems that coming to the Western Land was the right decision; we've already made so much progress so soon.

For him, the birth of the Ten-Armed Mantis had already begun its countdown; he only needed to wait patiently for a while, and he didn't need to worry about the materials at all.

He returned to the room, sat back down in his original seat, and skillfully took out paper and pen, the pen tip pausing in mid-air.

The refining process of the Blade Gu is very special; it is a universal Gu Recipe, and any materials can be written on the Gu Recipe.

Therefore, he didn't need to create his Gu Recipe formula this time, which saved him a lot of trouble.

He felt that the Gu Recipe didn't even need to be written. Others needed to fill in carefully selected materials on the Blade Gu Recipe, but he didn't need to at all, because his target was all kinds of insects, all of them.

Since he intends to capture all kinds of Spirit Insect in one fell swoop, why bother writing a Gu Recipe? He can just catch them directly; writing Gu Recipe is completely redundant.

However, he still needs to put in a lot of effort to create his own "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique".

The "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique" were not something that could be created easily, yet he was determined to create them. He didn't know how long it would take him to create such a sword technique, and suddenly he felt a pain in his liver.

After writing down the outline he had prepared on the white paper, his pen suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air. He once again looked bewildered, his face blank.

Unsurprisingly, he encountered writer's block as soon as he started writing.

How could he possibly know what method could be used to break all the Swordsmanship in the world?

How could he possibly know how to defeat all sword techniques in the world?

This is too difficult; he couldn't have come up with this at all!

God knows how to destroy everything in the world.

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Ask the village chief!

Long Xuan was completely stumped. He was still a complete Little White when it came to swordsmanship, knowing absolutely nothing about it. So how could he possibly create a swordsmanship technique?

Especially since it's the most conceptually advanced top-tier sword technique, it's even more impossible for Little White like him to create it.

He tried to learn to walk before he even learned to crawl, which was like taking too big a step and hurting his balls. He was completely stunned, his mind a complete mess, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

If someone who has never touched a knife before could create a knife technique, then there would truly be something extraordinary about it.

Swordsmanship is completely different from Cultivation Method, spiritual techniques, and physical skills. Swordsmanship is a skill that requires understanding and experience through constant practice and exchange with others. How can you possibly learn it by simply guessing at words?

The kind of insight that comes from experience cannot be described in words. Many sword techniques require drawing diagrams, and drawing diagrams makes it even harder to guess.

What kind of sword technique could he possibly create? He had been careless. Long Xuan suddenly realized that what he had imagined was far too terrifying, far exceeding his own abilities. This thing was no longer something he could control.

Long Xuan took a deep breath. In the end, he decided to use the old method: he would seek inspiration from various sources when he encountered writer's block. In the past, he had always found inspiration from Old Long. This time, Old Long was not around, so he could only think of another way.

It's quite a coincidence, really. Why did the Western Land Long Family have to arrange for him to live near the Scripture Repository Tower? Wasn't that just inviting a thief into the house? It was practically a godsend.

How could he refuse such a kind offer? If he didn't go into the Scripture Repository Tower to see what was inside, he would have wasted his prime location.

Long Xuan chuckled, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to use the Origin Realm to copy everything in the Scripture Repository Tower.

After some time, Long Xuan's consciousness appeared in a place exactly like the Scripture Repository Tower. Looking at the countless bookshelves around him, his smile widened.

"So many sword and Swordsmanship!" Long Xuan's eyes sparkled as he looked around at everything.

The Long Family possesses the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye, which allows them to destroy anything with a single sword strike. Therefore, they are a clan that is highly skilled in swordsmanship and enjoy collecting Swordsmanship.

The Long Family possesses Blade Gu, which requires Blade Gu techniques to enhance its power. Therefore, they are also passionate about collecting sword techniques, making them a clan that excels in swordsmanship.

The Long Family is masters of both swords and sabers; few forces can match Long Family collection of sword and Swordsmanship.

After all, it is the main family. The collection of sword and Swordsmanship of the Far West Long Family is far inferior to that of the Western Land Long Family.

Therefore, Long Xuan felt as if he had entered a huge treasure trove, where there was endless knowledge for him to draw upon, and it was all free; he could learn whatever he wanted.

He was currently on the first floor of the Scripture Repository Tower, which was filled with sword and Swordsmanship. The sheer number of sword and Swordsmanship was vast, filling countless bookshelves.

Having too many sword and Swordsmanship isn't a good thing either, because it can be overwhelming. He really doesn't know which one to learn or where to start, which is very frustrating. Looking at the countless books in the ocean can also be daunting, making it hard to even think about learning them all.

Upon seeing so many books, Long Xuan was initially pleasantly surprised, but his laziness immediately kicked in, making him unable to muster the desire to learn everything he read.

Fortunately, he has a clone. If he doesn't want to learn, but his clone does, then he can let the clone learn and then benefit from the clone's learning results for free. It's the same thing.

So Long Xuan started thinking about slacking off again, planning to reap the benefits without lifting a finger and leave all the learning tasks to his clone.

Suddenly, his expression froze. He walked to a wall, knocked lightly, and heard a thumping sound coming from inside. It was clearly hollow behind it; it was a hidden door. He wondered what was hidden behind it.

He had already replicated the entire Scripture Repository Tower, and with his god-like perspective, it was impossible for any secret chambers within it to escape his notice.

He was startled. There was a hidden door here! Where did it lead, and what treasures were hidden inside?

After his initial shock, Long Xuan became expectant. Anything kept in a secret room must be very important; otherwise, why hide it so tightly?

There's a law that any secret room will inevitably hide something extraordinary.

Long Xuan's face lit up with surprise, and he prepared to go inside and find out what was going on.

Here, he didn't need to be careful at all; he simply used the Five Elements Jade to destroy the door and discovered a spiral staircase leading down below.

Long Xuan was taken aback. Could it be that this Scripture Repository Tower also has a basement level?

Since the staircase is designed to be so hidden, the things stored on the basement level must be quite extraordinary.

Long Xuan looked curious, too lazy to guess what it was, and impatiently jumped down with the lantern.

Before long, his eyes lit up as he found himself in an area filled with bookshelves.

Bookshelves are everywhere, it's a sea of books, the collection is even larger than the first floor.

The books here are quite special, though, because they are so thick, they're like countless dictionaries.

Long Xuan showed a slight disappointment. He hadn't expected that the underground storage would be books, and piled up like a mountain of books at that. But then again, what else could Scripture Repository Tower Scripture Repository Tower Scripture Repository Tower not books?

However, things are valued for their rarity. With so many books here, it's impossible that they are all top-secret manuals. They are probably no different in value from the books upstairs.

This was completely different from his expectations. He had thought there was some incredible treasure hidden down there, but this was all?

Disappointed, Long Xuan casually picked up a book from the nearest bookshelf, flipped through a few pages, and glanced at it.

But upon seeing this, his eyes widened in excitement, and he couldn't stop watching.

He had just been listless, but suddenly he perked up. He wondered what the book contained that could have such a pleasant surprise for him.

He quickly put the book down, then ran to the other bookshelves, randomly picked out a book, flipped through a few pages, put it down again, and went to read another book.

After flipping through countless books, his breathing became increasingly rapid, his eyes shone brightly, and he was utterly excited.

"Great stuff, absolutely great stuff!" He retracted his previous thought. The books stored on the basement floor were definitely heaven-defying treasures. He had found a treasure trove this time; he was about to strike it rich!

What kind of books are stored on the basement level? I doubt anyone would guess.

In an extremely distant era, the complete version of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye could overcome all abilities in the world and defeat all opponents.

Therefore, those Long Family ancestors knew how to break any ability.

Those ancestors, having nothing better to do, actually wrote down all the methods for breaking various abilities in books, gradually producing countless books, which, over time, formed one huge dictionary after another.

They even categorized them, compiling methods for deciphering various sword techniques into a dictionary, divided into many volumes from (one) to (ten). The table of contents contains the names of almost every sword technique in the world.

Methods for deciphering various palm techniques have been compiled into a dictionary, divided into many volumes from (one) to (ten). The table of contents contains the names of almost every palm technique in the world.

They wrote down all sorts of spiritual arts, Cultivation Method, physical skills, Illusion Technique, and Gu Insect, and how to counter them, then bound them into books for permanent preservation.

It can be said that this book contains methods to break any ability in the world; it is a complete guide to breaking all methods. The name of any unique skill in the world can be found in the table of contents of this book.

This place is a vast treasure trove, a repository of the wisdom of countless ancestors of the Long Family. It is the most precious legacy left by the Long Family ancestors for their descendants, and the knowledge here is priceless.

At this moment, he finally understood why this place was hidden so tightly and not open to the tribespeople.

This is something that can bring disaster. You know how to break the legacy of any power. How can that be a terrifying thing? How can the strongest super powers feel at ease? They cannot tolerate your existence.

Therefore, this place can only be sealed off permanently. The more people who know about it, the more dangerous it will be for the Lineage. There are probably no more than five people in the Long Family who know about this place.

It was fate that Long Xuan was able to find this place by chance.

He had just been clueless about creating the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique," and now he was being thrown into this treasure trove.

In this treasure trove, he can find ways to counter any ability in the world, including how to break various spear techniques, how to break various hammer techniques, and even the various inheritances of obscure weapons can be found here.

Would it be difficult for him to summarize and integrate these methods of breaking the code, and create his own "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique" that could break everything? Not really. He already had an inspiration.

It's simply a matter of time; he needs a long time to read these books.

No problem, I'll leave this to his clone.

He revealed an excited expression and immediately released all five clones.

"You all need to learn! You all need to learn it thoroughly!"

After the clone emerged, it was immediately overwhelmed by the mountain of books piled up before it.

All the clones were dumbfounded, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Good heavens, how long will it take to learn this? This body is simply inhuman.

"You learn too! Learn it like crazy!"

Long Xuan then pulled the mantis's consciousness back in and threw it into the area on the first floor where countless sword techniques were stored.

"From now on, you will study here on your own and become a self-taught expert!"

I believe in you!

The Silvermoon Mantis found itself in an unfamiliar environment and looked bewildered.

But upon seeing the countless sword techniques displayed there, he became excited and immediately ran to the nearest bookshelf, quickly pulled out a sword technique book, and began to peruse it.

Silvermoon Mantis are known for their diligence, studiousness, and extreme self-discipline. Every Silvermoon Mantis is a training fanatic, with an intense desire to become stronger.

This particular Silvermoon Mantis, ostracized by its entire clan since birth, was even more determined to become stronger. No other Silvermoon Mantis worked harder than it in its training.

So when it appeared in this place full of sword techniques, it was overjoyed, showing no aversion to reading. On the contrary, it was filled with a love for reading and couldn't wait to go and read.

It wanted to learn all the knife techniques here, its ambitious eyes gleaming.
