After leaving Dragon Island, Luo Yue set a goal of reaching Quasi-Emperor within two hundred years and visited the Jiang Family's Scripture Pavilion to study its vast collection. There, she met its mysterious elderly caretaker, who explained the library rules and introduced fee-based Enlightenment Chambers, leaving her suspicious that he wanted her Source.

• The old caretaker explained that Emperor Hengyu had refined a shoot from the Enlightenment Ancient Tree into the scripture hall’s formation nexus and described the benefits and cost of its Heaven-Tier rooms.

Luo Yue rented a Heaven-Rank Enlightenment Room in the Jiang Family's Scripture Repository Hall and used its Emperor Formation and Enlightenment Tree branch to deduce Taihuang's fragmentary killing art. She began forging a killing art of her own from imperial dragon qi as the hall guardian secretly strengthened the Dao resonance.

• Luo Yue entered the Enlightenment Room and found that its formation made deduction more efficient and reduced the Yellow River Chart and Lo Shu's Source consumption.
• She used the jade platform to search the Scripture Repository Hall's texts and had the Yellow River Chart and Lo Shu analyze Taihuang's Scripture, dragon qi body tempering, and other material.

• After more than a month, Luo Yue opened her eyes with sharper senses and greatly improved spiritual perception.

After emerging from the Nether Flood Dragon's Cold Pool with her divine sense greatly strengthened, Luo Yue returned to the Jiang Family's Scripture Repository Hall to begin absorbing its vast collection of knowledge. She planned to use the Yellow River Chart and Lo Shu to build a mental treasury of scriptures, starting with formations and Dao patterns.

• Little Flood Dragon retrieved a heavy, patterned piece of black metal from the spring, and Luo Yue recognized it as dragon-patterned black gold suitable for forging an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.

After claiming a share in Yao Li's business and a nearby source mine, she left for Cang Province to reach the Super Domain Gate to the Southern Region.
