Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Chapter 30: Not Enough Heaven‘s Fate Energy

"Why not?"

Yu Xiaoyu's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her lips pouted as if she was about to cry. "Are you reluctant?"

"If my daughter wants it, even the stars in the sky, I would get them for you. But you haven't had your source pool evaluated yet, and entering the silence room hastily, I fear you might get hurt by the rampant source energy inside..." Yu Longqing explained.

His silence room was built at great expense, containing an array that gathers source energy. For someone with his strength, training inside would indeed be highly effective. But for someone like his daughter, whose source pool wasn't fully stabilized, rushing in could cause minor injuries, or worse, significant harm that could affect her future cultivation.

Understanding his explanation, Yu Xiaoyu felt dejected, "I thought I could use it too. I wanted to train hard tonight and perform well in tomorrow's evaluation..."

Seeing his daughter on the verge of tears, Yu Longqing frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, there might be a way... This library was built by the 19th City Lord of White Rock City. To protect the books from source energy corrosion, a purification array was set up that can extract a small amount of Heaven‘s Fate Energy using special methods. However, this array requires some precious herbs or source beast blood to operate... Never mind, I'll go prepare it now. You wait in the depths of the library, and I'll channel the source energy from the meditation room to help you cultivate!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Yu Xiaoyu immediately jumped up and kissed her father's cheek, "I knew you loved me the most!"

"You little rascal..." Shaking his head, Yu Longqing smiled indulgently and turned to leave.

Even the City Lord's Mansion couldn't sustain it for long. However, as long as it helped his daughter, what did it matter if resources were consumed? He could afford it!

"Notify the storeroom to bring my 'Spirit Source Bamboo' over!" Yu Longqing instructed as he walked out of the library.

"Spirit Source Bamboo? City Lord, this is the precious item you specifically sought to break through to the ninth grade of the source pool. Using it for this seems wasteful..." Advisor Liao was taken aback and quickly spoke up.

"Xiaoyu will only be absorbing Heaven‘s Fate Energy to temper her body and strengthen her source pool. She shouldn't absorb much. For a treasure like Spirit Source Bamboo, the consumption will be minimal... Don't worry!" Yu Longqing smiled.

If the Spirit Source Bamboo were compared to a golden Buddha, melting it down to make other items would be distressing. But just scraping a layer of gold off wouldn't hurt much and would make his daughter happy. Why not?

That's the situation now.

Even if there was Heaven‘s Fate Energy present for tomorrow's evaluation, his daughter wouldn't absorb it into her source pool.

It would only be used for body tempering and meridian circulation.

At most, she would absorb three to five strands, which would only cost one leaf of the Spirit Source Bamboo.

And this bamboo had over three hundred leaves!

The consumption wouldn't be significant...

"You're right, City Lord!" Advisor Liao nodded after a moment's hesitation.

A cultivator whose source pool wasn't fully stabilized wouldn't be able to absorb much anyway. If the city lord wanted to indulge his daughter, it was no big deal.

"Also, let Mo Yanxue train with her. She has a close relationship with Xiaoyu and is enrolling at the same time. If both of them make a big impact, it will greatly benefit White Rock City!" Yu Longqing added.

Advisor Liao nodded and left without further comment.

Yu Xiaoyu and Mo Yanxue arrived at the depths of the library, waiting for the arrival of Heaven‘s Fate Energy. At the same time, Zhang Xuan also reached the place they had mentioned, his eyes falling on a book with five bold characters that stood out beautifully: "Five Directions Origin Technique."

He touched it with his finger, and in the Library of Heaven's Path , ten books shook simultaneously, slowly merging into one.

"It actually requires ten strands of Heaven‘s Fate Energy to form. This book is indeed extraordinary..." Zhang Xuan was slightly surprised.

Previously, the books he copied required only one strand of Heaven‘s Fate Energy to succeed, but this one needed ten, indicating its high level.

This was good, as in the future, he wouldn't need to read the contents to gauge a technique's value; the amount of Heaven‘s Fate Energy consumed would reveal its worth.

Of course, the Library of Heaven's Path 's ability to organize and highlight the merits of techniques would also make their value clear at a glance.

"I've already collected over six thousand techniques. This should be enough to merge into a Heaven's Path technique..."

After gathering all the techniques around the "Five Directions Origin Technique," Zhang Xuan stopped. He had absorbed around ten thousand strands of Heaven‘s Fate Energy at White Rock Academy, and now most of it was used up. It was time to try merging them.

With a thought, the flaws of the many techniques appeared before him, and a new book slowly formed at the center of the library. The characters on the cover were faint, indicating they would soon become clear.

At the same time, the remaining two thousand plus books that had absorbed Heaven‘s Fate Energy began to visibly burn. Streams of pure energy formed gentle glows, continuously pouring into the emerging book.

"I didn't realize it before on the Master Teacher Continent, but creating a Heaven's Path technique here requires so much energy..."

Seeing over a thousand strands of Heaven‘s Fate Energy burn up in just one breath, and the Heaven's Path technique still not fully formed, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Back on the Master Teacher Continent, with enough books collected, creating a Heaven's Path technique was effortless.

But here, the consumption was enormous. It seemed integrating the Library of Heaven's Path with the Source World's heavenly laws would be a long and challenging process.

No rush, though. As long as he stayed here, he could eventually succeed by substituting parts of the Source World with the Heaven's Path.

Feeling reflective, Zhang Xuan looked again at the book in front of him. At that moment, the library emitted a faint hum, and the surrounding light abruptly dimmed.

"What..." Zhang Xuan was stunned.

He saw that the remaining two thousand strands of Heaven‘s Fate Energy were completely exhausted, yet the Heaven's Path technique still hadn't fully materialized.

In other words... the Heaven‘s Fate Energy he had absorbed earlier wasn't enough!

Over ten thousand strands used up in just half a day... he really was a big spender. Even so, the Heaven's Path technique hadn't formed completely. Would he be unable to cultivate during tomorrow's source pool evaluation?

If he missed this opportunity, it would be hard to find another one later. But with all the Heaven‘s Fate Energy gone, where could he find a few thousand more strands?

For a moment, Zhang Xuan was at a loss.
