Chapter 910: Went To Imperial Library!
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief before she muttered: "it really is good news for me that there are not many people in this Imperial Library."
"You all can just wait for me outside the Imperial Library." Tang Li Xue ordered the maids and guards.
"But Miss..." Some maids and guards reluctantly retorded.
Tang Li Xue did not give them any chance to argue as she hastily got away from them and stepped into the Imperial Library alone.
"Can I help you, Miss?" The old library clerk asked Tang Li Xue politely.
Tang Li Xue shook her head to reject his offer and replied: "Thank you, but no need. I just get bored, so I want to find something to read."
After that, Tang Li Xue began to walk around the library to find the book she wanted in a relaxed manner.
The Imperial Library have three floors, so it took a while for Tang Li Xue to find the books she wanted.
She also deliberately mixed them with biographies of several famous figures and literature books, so no one would find it suspicious even if someone looked at the books she read. After spending the entire day in the Imperial Library until the sky turned dark, Tang Li Xue managed to get some crucial information about the Beast Race in this Azure Mist Continent. Tang Li Xue frowned deeply while closing the book in her grasp and muttering in a frustrated tone: "Sigh... This does not look really good. I never thought the Beast Race's situation in this Azure Mist Continent was actually this bad."
Yes, Tang Li Xue never expected that the Beast Race's situation in this Azure Mist Continent was actually so bad...
If the Beast Race in the Lightwind Continent was in a dominant position, then the Beast Race in this Azure Mist Continent was in a reversed situation compared to that.
The Human Race's six great dynasties suppressed the entire Beast Race in this Azure Mist Continent until they did not even dare to get close to any human cities!
The suppressed Beast Race of this Azure Mist Continent could only live and hide in the mountains and deep forests.
From some historical books Tang Li Xue had read in the Imperial Library, she found several reasons why the Human Race in Azure Mist Continent could suppress the Beast Race.
First, the Human Race in the Azure Mist Continent had mastered much more advanced battle formation and weapon technology compared to the Human Race in the Lightwind Continent. Each army of six great dynasties had their own unique cultivation technique.
For example, the unique cultivation technique of the Great Wei Dynasty army was called the [Demon Slaying Art].
By cultivating [Demon Slaying Art], not only every soldier could increase their strength and cultivation level, but they could also slowly accumulate 'malevolent Qi'.
When these soldiers fought together as an army and formed the formation called the [Demon Slaying Battle Formation], their 'malevolent Qi' could merge and improve their combat power further.
If 1 million soldiers with the cultivation of Qi Condensation Stage were fighting as one army with [Demon Slaying Battle Formation], even low-rank Core Formation Stage experts could be defeated.
Then what if 1 million soldiers with the cultivation of Acupuncture Opening stage or even Foundation Establishment were fighting together with [Demon Slaying Battle Formation]?
What if there were 10 million soldiers or even more fighting together with [Demon Slaying Battle Formation]?
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath while muttering in a solemn tone: "No wonder the Beast Race in this Azure Mist Continent was beaten so miserably."
Of course, that was not the only reason why the Beast Race in Azure Mist Continent could be suppressed so badly by the Human Race...
The second reason was because the Human Race in Azure Mist Continent actually has the experts with cultivation level above Nascent Soul Stage!
The highest cultivator level of the Lightwind Continent might only be at the Nascent Soul Stage because the concentration of spiritual energy at the Lightwind Continent was very thin.
But this Azure Mist Continent was different!
Maybe it was because the Azure Mist Continent was much closer to the Central Continent, the concentration of spiritual energy was actually several times denser compared to the Lightwind Continent.
That was the main reason why the cultivators in this Azure Mist Continent could breakthrough to higher cultivation levels much easier than the cultivators in the Lightwind Continent.
Meanwhile, most cultivators in the Lightwind Continent needed to rely on pills to breakthrough because of the thin spiritual energy problem.
Unlike using the precious natural treasures of heaven and earth to breakthrough, using too many pills would accumulate impurities in their bodies, and it would make their future cultivation level breakthrough much more difficult.
This was the second reason why the cultivators in the Lightwind Continent could only reach the Nascent Soul Stage at most.
However, it really could not be helped since the precious natural treasures of heaven and earth were too rare in Lightwind Continent because most of those precious treasures could not survive in the thin spiritual energy environment.
However, the precious natural treasures of heaven and earth were actually many times more abundant in this Azure Mist Continent because of the dense spiritual energy environment.
If the Lightwind Continent was the remote desert, then the Azure Mist Continent was the dry meadow, while the Central Continent was the fertile freshwater marshland.
Tang Li Xue sighed and secretly lamented at how unfair this was in her heart.
All of this information might be helpful for Tang Li Xue to understand the Azure Mist Continent's overall situation, but unfortunately, she still could not find the information she wanted to find the most.
Yes, Tang Li Xue still could not find any clue about the location of the Myriad Foxes Academy's branch in this Azure Mist Continent.
But it actually made sense since the six great dynasties might have already taken action to attack Myriad Foxes Academy if they had known the location.
"Miss, it is already dark. The library will be closed soon." The old clerk reminded Tang Li Xue.
"I see. Can I borrow back some books?" Tang Li Xue asked the old clerk while kindly smiling
at him.
"This..." The old clerk hesitated for a while.
The old clerk had never seen Tang Li Xue until today, so he was not sure if Tang Li Xue could be trusted or not.
If there were some princes or nobles who wanted to look at those books later and found that those books were missing, the old clerk would be the one who got blamed.
Tang Li Xue quickly realized the old clerk's difficulty from his hesitating expression, so she
did not insist on it.
When Tang Li Xue went out of the Imperial Library, several guards and maids who had already waited impatiently outside hastily escorted her back to the Third Prince's courtyard.
These guards and maids were actually in a great dilemma...
On one side, they really wanted to call and persuade Tang Li Xue to return, but on the other side, they were afraid that Tang Li Xue would complain about them to the Third Prince later, and they would get punished harshly because of it.
In the end, they decided to be patient and waited for Tang Li Xue outside the Imperial Library
instead.
Tang Li Xue secretly sighed in relief after she managed to return safely to the Third Prince's courtyard without bumping into any trouble.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But Tang Li Xue clearly got happy too quickly...
"You... How dare you wander around without my permission?! Do you know that you almost
died after getting poisoned two days ago?!" The Third Prince lost his temper and angrily
yelled at Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue might feel a little guilty to the Third Prince, but she also felt very unhappy being
scolded by him.
Despite that, Tang Li Xue did not dare to offend the Third Prince yet since the Third Prince
was the only person she relied on here.
Even though Tang Li Xue angrily cursed the Third Prince in her heart, she still put on a depressed and sad expression before saying in a tone filled with guilt: "I... I am sorry, Your Highness. I felt too bored, so I went to the Imperial Library to read some books to relieve my
boredom."
The Third Prince's anger instantly melted like snow in the summer as he saw Tang Li Xue's stunning appearance with a pitiful expression.
The Third Prince awkwardly explained to Tang Li Xue with a helpless expression: "I understand that you must be feeling bored being shut in the room all day, but you should know that the current situation in Imperial Palace is... not very safe. I am really afraid that something untoward will happen to you again if you wander around alone without me." Tang Li Xue secretly frowned deeply in worry while thinking: 'Not very safe, huh... It looks like the Emperor's health has deteriorated faster than everyone's expectation. What a bad luck! It seems I have to make some emergency plans and arrangements quickly, so I can escape from here as soon as possible if something untoward happens later.'
After the Third Prince warned Tang Li Xue a few more times, he invited Tang Li Xue to eat
dinner together as usual.
Even though Tang Li Xue was not in the mood to eat anything, but she still decided to accept the Third Prince's invitation since she needed to feed her three greedy little babies.
