Chapter 640: Techniques
Liora worked to digest the flood of information.
Just like the jade slips she had seen in the Heavenly Armor Pavilion, this book also contained information regarding a cultivation technique.
It didn’t have the complete contents, but merely a brief description of its functions and power. At most, the text praised the technique’s strength, as though tempting the reader to purchase it.
Liora understood why that was.
Despite what its grand appearance would suggest, this was not a normal library.
If her guess was correct, this was the main “shop” of the Heavenly Armor Pavilion. This meant that these books had been placed here in order to be sold.
With that in mind, it wouldn’t make sense for the complete contents to be viewable.
Liora stopped to think for a brief moment. There was no way to purchase these books, as the “shop owners” had long become a thing of the past.
Even so, that didn’t mean she didn’t have a chance to take a closer look at them.
Her eyes narrowed.
As her mind stirred, the upgraded Immortal Token appeared in her hand once again. She brought it closer to the bookshelf.
Then, her consciousness swept out once more, enveloping the book resting on top of it.
The familiar torrent of information poured into her mind.
Yet besides the brief description she had seen before, there were now several other sections as well. Contents that were vastly greater in both volume and importance.
It was the complete cultivation technique!
It detailed the circulation routes of cultivator energy, methods of plundering external energy, and numerous attached spells and combat techniques.
Qi Refining. Foundation Establishment. Core Formation. Nascent Soul. Void Refining. Tribulation Transcending. Ascension.
These were the realms Liora had long known, back from where she landed on the city fragment. This technique reached the Tribulation Transcending realm, equivalent to Rank 11 and even Rank 12 Awakeners.
Liora’s eyes brightened.
Not because she wanted to practice this long-lost power system.
After all, she already possessed the Cosmic Sea, meaning she had found her own power system. Combined with her identity as a Devil, she no longer had time to practice anything else.
In addition, the energy unique to cultivators had long disappeared. Practicing this power system in the current Cosmic Universe was impossible.
What Liora valued was actually the information itself.
More precisely, the benefits it could bring her.
Liora’s consciousness descended into the Cosmic Sea.
Without any hesitation, she stared at the illusory River of Time above her, causing her phantom to rapidly ascend in dimension.
Before long, she was standing at its banks.
But this time, she hadn’t arrived here to change the past or the future.
Rather, she wanted to take advantage of another, less obvious, characteristic of this river.
“In the past, Snake of Time allowed me to speed up the time around me, making it easier to practice and comprehend techniques and abilities.”
“This function has been lost once it integrated with the Cosmic Sea. At most, I can control the River of Time to speed up the passage of time within the Cosmic Sea. Even so…”
“This doesn’t mean that it can’t help me practice. If anything, it has now become even easier.”
Time around the River of Time flowed differently from the outside world.
When she had helped Alpha previously, she had spent several hours in this place, only for only a brief moment to pass in reality.
Now, she wished to take advantage of this characteristic once more. For another purpose.
Taking a seat beside the River of Time, Liora closed her eyes and began to comprehend the technique she had just gotten her hands on.
She had no intention of practicing it, merely absorbing the insights contained in it to strengthen her own knowledge.
Such a thing was relatively common.
Devils frequently studied other power systems in hopes of making their future path easier.
Although it could not help them improve at the present moment, it could very well enhance their talent and potential.
The same was true for Liora too.
However, there was also one major difference…
With every insight Liora grasped, she felt her strength grow stronger. The improvement was minor on its own. Barely worth a mention.
Yet as the insights accumulated, it gradually became noticeable.
In the dimension below, a transcendent star was rapidly expanding within the Cosmic Sea.
Although Liora spent hours beside the River of Time, only a moment had passed in reality.
Alpha, who had been preparing for a battle, was stunned.
She watched as the aura of the Cultivation Star rapidly grew more powerful before suddenly coming to a halt.
Just as she thought that the transformation was over, it started once more.
Again and again.
The Cultivation Star rapidly expanded, growing stronger at an incredible pace.
It would only pause for a split second each time, before continuing on its previous momentum.
Alpha didn’t know why that occurred.
But had she been able to peer to the outside world, she would have seen Liora’s consciousness enveloping book after book, while the phantom sitting in the River of Time was rapidly comprehending them.
The number of books in the library was enormous, more than enough to support an entire civilization.
Combined with the level of the techniques, it was impossible to go through them all—for ordinary people.
Liora faced no such issue. She continued weaving through the many bookshelves with her consciousness sweeping out, her footsteps not pausing even once.
It seemed as though she were merely strolling, taking a walk around the dark void and observing the library.
But in reality, the benefits she had received went far beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.
Her decision to come here had been proven correct!
Rather than collecting the treasures on the first floor, which could enhance her combat prowess by only a small percentage, the improvement of the Cultivation Star and the Cosmic Sea as a whole was far more beneficial to her.
Both in the short-term and for the distant future.
