Chapter 841: Universe of Books
"What?"
The Purple Blood Demon Book was startled and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is going to the Universe of Books?"
"You have been to the Universe of Books once, this time you will accompany me there."
Chu Yuan said.
The Nine Extreme Divine Lights had already gathered eight strands, only the last one was missing, and Chu Yuan had to make the trip.
"Your Majesty, the Universe of Books is very hard to find..."
The Purple Blood Demon Book recalled, "The Universe of Books is hidden within an unknown layer of space-time. Inside, each book has taken form and awakened its own spiritual intelligence. Only those destined can enter. Even the god of the Purple Blood Universe stumbled upon it by chance, and I was fortunate to meet the master of the Universe of Books, which awakened my spiritual intelligence."
He thought Chu Yuan needed him to locate the Universe of Books.
But he truly did not know where it was.
"The location of the Universe of Books is no secret to me, you needn't be anxious."
Seeing the unease of the Purple Blood Demon Book, Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Come with me on this trip."
As he spoke, the Void Gate enveloped the Purple Blood Demon Book, and they left the Divine Martial Empire.
"It seems that His Majesty already has a way to find the Universe of Books, no need for me to worry."
The Purple Blood Demon Book thought and continued to recall, "The master of the Universe of Books is a mighty step-four cosmic god, a book in his own right. Over the eons, he has collected countless books, using his power to help these books awaken their spiritual intelligence, turning them into unique entities capable of cultivation. Over time, this created the Universe of Books."
"This time, I am also visiting this master in the Universe of Books."
Chu Yuan's Treasure Map was continuously guiding the direction.
Their hiding spot, while exceedingly secretive, was unfortunately detectable by the Treasure Map.
After traversing countless star domains, Chu Yuan opened the void with incredible speed, and during this journey, he truly marveled at the difficulty of locating the Universe of Books.
Constantly jumping between various layers of space-time.
The Purple Blood Demon Book was also alarmed, for Chu Yuan's route was too mysterious; he never knew how the Martial Emperor planned his path, just that they were in one star space one moment and a different layer of space-time the next.
"It seems His Majesty is about to pinpoint the location of the Universe of Books."
The Purple Blood Demon Book thought to himself.
Having traversed countless layers of space-time in the starry sky, suddenly, a supreme white light burst from Chu Yuan's hand, piercing through.
Following that, the Purple Blood Demon Book stepped alongside Chu Yuan, and the scenery before their eyes drastically changed, no longer in the desolate and silent cosmic star space.
The world was vast and immense.
Green mountains and rivers stretched endlessly, there were huge oceans, and even mountains of fire; the environment here was like an enormously huge world.
Looking up, the sky held a gigantic sun, brilliant white, appearing like a book of the sun.
Taking a breath, the air was rich in Spiritual Energy, mixed with the scent of books.
In the sky, many books were also flying.
"This...This is the Universe of Books!"
The Purple Blood Demon Book widened his eyes, he had arrived in the Universe of Books again.
Everything was the same yet different, visiting again, this time following beside the Martial Emperor, everything seemed unchanged.
He did not dare ask how Chu Yuan reached the Universe of Books, only quietly following him.
"The Universe of Books, truly marvelous."
Chu Yuan could feel it, the Universe of Books was completely different from the outside, filled with Spiritual Energy everywhere, making it more likely for the books here to cultivate their own spiritual intelligence.
He arrived between a landscape of green mountains and rivers, spotting a small beast. Seeing him, it seemed panicked and scampered away.
He saw through the essence of this small beast; it was also a book, its born spiritual intelligence was not yet strong.
And in various places, books were carefully being sorted by some already transformed beings. These books, absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Universe of Books and with patterns of light flowing, were also awakening their own wisdom.
"Who dares trespass into my Book Universe!"
Boom! A colossal sword burst forth from the sky with explosive noise, cutting down someone who had intruded into the Book Universe—an event of groundbreaking significance for the Book Universe.
This book was a tome about the Sword Dao.
"Do not be presumptuous!"
A vast expanse of white light swept out, and deep within the Book Universe, an old man dressed in white appeared, radiating enlightening Spiritual Energy. He descended, looked at Chu Yuan, and smiled, "I do not know which friend has come to my Book Universe. I was completely unaware, it seems you have directly pinpointed the location of the Book Universe."
"Master of the Universe!"
The Purple Blood Demon Book said.
He released his own aura.
"Oh? It's you, the Purple Blood Demon Book from years ago, who came to the Book Universe with the deity from the Purple Blood Universe. It was I who personally intervened to grant you sentience, and you've even cultivated to the second step of a cosmic deity."
The Master of the Universe was also surprised.
But what shocked him more was that Chu Yuan had entered the Book Universe silently, and even with his extraordinary wisdom, he could not see through Chu Yuan, whose formidable intelligence deterred him from making a careless move.
"Master of the Universe, this is the Great Emperor of the Divine Martial Empire, the ruler of the Divine Martial Empire!"
The Purple Blood Demon Book hurriedly introduced, "Great Emperor, this is the master of the Book Universe."
"Great Emperor?"
The Master of the Universe hadn't yet compiled information about the Divine Martial Empire and said politely, "Great Emperor's visit is an honor. I apologize for any lack of hospitality. What brings you this time? Anyone destined for the Book Universe is a guest."
He spoke very politely.
He didn't yet know the specific purpose of the Great Emperor and used a courteous approach to stabilize the situation.
"Hmph! This person entered my Book Universe uninvited—surely with ill intentions. For many years now, immortals have sought the Book Universe, wanting to take away every book within it, destroying all the Book Spirits!"
A massive figure in armor descended, radiating a strong aura of combat, and glared at Chu Yuan with hostility.
"This is the Martial Combat Book of the Book Universe, composed by an ancient immortal."
The Master of the Universe said, "Martial Combat Book, this time the guest is the Great Emperor, stand down, do not cause trouble."
He scolded the Martial Combat Book.
Indeed, the arrival of Chu Yuan had caused him great anxiety.
"Hmph!"
The Martial Combat Book snorted coldly.
But the authority of the Master of the Universe was great, respected by all the books within the Book Universe, and it too stood down.
In the Book Universe, the Master of the Universe played a role akin to the head of a large family; all the Book Spirits respected him greatly, and it was because of the protections he placed that other immortals had not found them.
Otherwise, given the inherent value of the Book Universe, countless would covet it.
"Indeed, I have come here with a purpose."
Chu Yuan was very calm.
His sudden entry into the Book Universe naturally caused panic.
His eyes shone brilliantly, staring fixedly at the Master of the Universe, he spotted a book radiating dazzling divine light.
The Master of the Universe was startled; his cultivation had reached the fourth step, but in the moment Chu Yuan's gaze met his, he felt completely seen through.
"Within the Book Universe, countless epics have been recorded. It so happens that I too have a book to share with everyone here, wondering what opinions you might have."
Chu Yuan continued without regard for their astonishment.
"Of course, I adore reading," said the Master of the Universe.
"Good, this is the book I have authored, a history of the empire's civilization, the epic of humanity."
