Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 761: Entering the Way through Literature

```

From the Ancient Era to today.

Cultivators roamed freely, and the major races fought over resources.

Hence, both the Human Race and other races neglected the recording of past events.

Only some sects would revise their historical records and collect various Divine Power Spells and Scriptures.

But the key is that each sect would only document its own deeds, and with the rise and fall of sects, a multitude of Divine Skills and Scriptures were also lost as sects declined.

This is why, despite the existence of Divine Power Spells and inheritances from the four great races – Gods, Demons, Spirits, and Monsters – in the Ancient Times, they eventually disappeared, and in modern times, fewer and fewer Divine Power Spells were passed down.

Bai Ruoxi, upon entering this Scripture Pavilion, sensed an unusual aura. Her beautiful eyes moved, and upon seeing the rows of historical books on the shelves,

A look of surprise appeared on her face.

"So strong is the sense of the Dao, these books actually contain the profound truths of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Sense of the Dao?" Qinchuan's heart stirred, and his attention was wholly focused on the extensive collection of historical books, completely missing this so-called sense of the Dao.

At that moment, he opened his Innate Pupils.

Indeed, he saw that each of the Scriptures on the bookshelves emitted strands of the Heavenly Dao's aura.

This aura of the Heavenly Dao was still weak, but the sense of the Dao within was astonishing, something not within the reach of ordinary cultivators.

Yet now, the aura of the Heavenly Dao from these Scriptures enveloped Li Zhi and the others, gentle and soothing.

"This is actually a Heaven's Dao Scripture!"

"Brother Li, have you felt any abnormalities in your Cultivation Level while writing these historical books?" Bai Ruoxi's eyes were deep as she looked at Li Zhi.

The Dao, profound and unfathomable, is difficult even for ordinary cultivators from the Divine Realm to grasp.

Previously, Li Zhi naturally could not see that he had been favored by the Heavenly Dao while writing the historical books.

Upon hearing Bai Ruoxi's question, he immediately recalled and said,

"Now that Immortal Bai mentions it, I did indeed feel some anomalies while I was writing these historical books."

"To speak of it, I might come from the imperial family, but I have average talent. After more than thirty years of cultivation, my Cultivation Level was merely at the Dao Palace Realm.

Even after taking a huge number of Heavenly Treasures Materials and undergoing body refinement, my Cultivation Level progressed slowly.

But I found that when I spent my spare time writing these historical books, my body's Spiritual Energy would circulate on its own, and not only did my Cultivation Level not stall, but it also grew rapidly.

Even a year ago, when I was writing the history of the Human Race, I consulted various Ancient Books, not resting for a whole month, but I did not feel the slightest fatigue. The Spiritual Energy in my body circulated incessantly, and I felt refreshed and clear-headed, and even my Cultivation Level broke through from the Immortal Platform Realm to the Dragon Transformation Realm."

"Before, I thought it was just the result of me loosely cultivating after taking a large amount of Heavenly Treasures Materials, but now after Immortal Bai's reminder, this indeed seems very unusual!"

Qinchuan and Bai Ruoxi exchanged glances, and with the same realization, they said in unison, "Entering the Dao through writing!"

Cultivators ultimately seek the comprehension of the Dao.

From the Great Dao to the Heavenly Dao, cultivators enter the Dao through Martial Arts, apprehending the rules of heaven and earth to enhance their strength with Spiritual Energy.

Aside from entering the Dao through Martial Arts, there are many other ways to comprehend the Heavenly Dao: through writing, painting, Alchemy Dao...

However, these alternative methods only serve to extend one's lifespan, and the practitioners' strength pales in comparison to those who enter through Martial Arts.

And yet, this is a world where Martial Arts reign supreme, and aside from the path of Martial Arts, these alternative methods are termed as side or secondary paths.

Being weak in strength, these side paths have no way to compete with Martial Artists for Cultivation Resources.

Thus, other than Alchemy Dao and Healing Dao, which still exist in some super sects, other methods have long disappeared into the annals of history.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi, by writing the history of the Divine Wilderness, had inadvertently entered the Dao through this method.

Having grasped this pivotal point, Qinchuan glanced over the numerous scriptures in the pavilion and said, "Most of these ancient books are unfinished. If one day you manage to complete all these historical records, you may have the chance to ascend to the Divine King Realm!"

"Divine... Divine King..."

Li Zhi's heart leaped suddenly, as he came to a realization, "Does Young Master Qin and Immortal Lady Bai mean that compiling historical records can aid in cultivation?"

"It's not just an aid to cultivation; the act of writing these historical records aligns with the Heavenly Dao's Intention. It is, in essence, cultivation itself."

Born into the Imperial Family, although Li Zhi's Cultivation Level was not high, his insights were not shallow. He quickly understood that this was the legendary path of cultivating through scholarship. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

He was once again struck with astonishment and shock.

After a long while, he composed himself, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and then he explained the purpose of asking for Qinchuan.

As it turned out.

He had begun by revising the history of the Human Race, and he had now completed the content of the last million years.

He knew that Qinchuan had lived for countless years and had an extraordinary understanding of the history of this past million years.

Thus, he wanted Qinchuan to review these historical records to see if anything was amiss or if there were details that warranted addition.

After all, the contents of the books were compiled after the annihilation of various Sect Families, summarizing ancient texts from their Scripture Pavilions, so inaccuracies were inevitable.

"You can send a copy of these historical records to my residence when they're ready, and I'll have a look when I'm free," Qinchuan nodded and didn't refuse.

Afterward, Li Zhi took Qinchuan and the others on a tour of the Scripture Pavilion.

This newly-built Scripture Pavilion, despite its size, is probably among the largest on the Divine Wilderness Continent.

The Tianyuan Royal Scripture Pavilion is likely ranked first, followed by this one.

It spanned sixteen floors high from bottom to top.

From Mortal World books to Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang's various Mysterious Techniques, then to all kinds of Divine Power Spells, medical texts, Pill formula secret manuals, and more, they were too numerous to count.

Most of the scriptures here were collected from different Sect Families that were destroyed during the expansion of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.

Qinchuan took a tour but didn't find any scriptures or methods worth noting.

He had already seen most of the Divine Power Spells before.

"Your Majesty, the first batch of disciples to undergo the Soul Trial has emerged," a maid's voice rose within the Scripture Pavilion, as Qinchuan and the others were strolling around.

"Young Master Qin, Immortal Lady Bai, shall we go have a look together?" Qinchuan nodded again, indicating to Li Zhi to lead the way.

The Tianyuan Academy recruited disciples from across the entire Tianyuan Nation.

As a gathering place for talents, the recruitment conditions were extremely stringent.

One had to meet the criteria on both age and Cultivation Level to enter the Tianyuan Academy.

Those within thirty years of age who were in the Life Spring Realm, or those below three hundred years in the Dragon Transformation Realm, or even those within two thousand years of the Saint Realm, could all take part in the assessment.

After that, they had to go through physical body trials, Spiritual Energy trials, and Soul trials respectively.

The difficulty of these trials increased at each stage.

If a Cultivator in the Life Spring Realm passed all these, then they would become an external disciple of the Tianyuan Academy.

After cultivating in the external academy for two hundred years, if they successfully broke through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, they could enter the intermediate court for cultivation.

Dragon Transformation Realm Cultivators who prove their place in the Saint Realm within a thousand years could become an internal disciple of the Tianyuan Academy.

As for the Cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm and Saint Realm who pass the assessment, they can directly enter the corresponding academy as a disciple.
