”Yes that's right. I've been holding myself from entering the Core formation realm because I want to enter the second region while still in the Foundation establishment realm.” Duan Li replied to them.

When they heard this, each showed some differrent expression. The Principal and Vice-Principal only shook their head slightly with a smile. Meanwhile, the Emperor, Fei Jin Fang and Liu Sheng Juan could only let out a long deep sigh.

At this stage, they could only accept Duan Li's peculiarity and was no longer surprised.

Usually, cultivators would strive to enter another realm as quickly as they could. This was because, not only would it indicate that they were geniuses in cultivation, they would also attract fame and prestige that could open up a lot of opportunities offered by reputable clans.

These clans would take them in and basically became their sponsor for cultivation pills, manuals and other resources, in exchange for swearing loyalty to the clan and would try their best to elevate the clan's prestige and honor.

However, this young man in front of them was different. There was no trace of such materialistic pursuit that could be seen within his eyes nor in his words. It was as if the other party was pursuing for something even higher!

Hais!

A person that was favored by the heavens, they truly are different from the rest!

”Very well. With your capabilities, I'm not even sure if there is anything that could stop you. Although, I would have to remind you, while you are indeed powerful on your own in terms of battle prowess, you could still be pressured by opponents who uses magic skill arts, especially space magic. So be very careful and analyse your enemy thoroughly!” the Emperor said.

The Principal nodded, ”His Majesty is correct. While most people preferred to fight things raw, some avoided their hands from getting dirty. This is especially the case for Spellcaster class. So I advise you, to make full use of my previous 'gift' to you to its maximum potential.”

Hearing the word 'gift', Duan Li quickly recalled that the Principal had sort of lended him 'illegally' an ancient artifact called as the 'Wisdom Stone', which was a property of the academy.

Although the wisdom stone's ability to store information was not really that unique, as certain jade slips could also do the same thing, its memory capacity was so huge that it could collect all the important manual books in the entire Jixue Knight's Academy!

”Oh? You've prepared a gift for him? Hmm.. here take this. This shall be my gift for you then.” the Emperor pondered for a moment before materializing a manual book from his spatial ring.

This manual book has a golden cover, and an archaic air seemed to seep out from it. Just from a single glance, one could tell that this manual book was extremely old, judging from that worn out look of its cover.

Realizing the value of this manual book, the rest of them could not help but to have their hearts trepidate in surprise.

”Y-Your majesty! This manual book should not be..” Fei Jin Fang tried to dissuade the Emperor before the latter interjected with a wave of his hand.

”It's fine. Besides, our entire future practically rests on his shoulder. The least we could do, is to make it lighter!” the Emperor chuckled, and then passed on the book to Duan Li.

Receiving this manual book, Duan Li read its cover;

'Tri-Desolation Heavenly Arts'

After flipping a few pages, Duan Li also began to realize the book's value.

”This is..” he said in astonishment.

The Emperor somehow felt a sense of achievement seeing the looks of surprise on Duan Li's face. After all, it was always the other party that had astonished him time and again.

As expected of my family heirloom!

Smiling proudly, the Emperor clasped both hands to his back as he tilted his head upward and stared at the ceiling of the main hall. This ceiling was filled with many pictorial arts drawn delicately that possess numerous depictions of events throughout the history of the Jiu Empire.

”Before the founding of the Jiu Empire by our first Ancestor, Jiu Zhentian, we were..”

The Emperor began to tell the origin of his family and the Empire as a whole with a melancholic look, he recited the various historical events that lead to the formation of the manual book and how it has since been passed on to the next Emperor in succession.

It was only after a long while that he finished telling the story. He then continued, ”Although I did say that this manual book is a gift for you, I could not possibly pass this family heirloom to anyone, not even you. But the contents, that's an entirely different matter altogether. Thus, I want you to memorize the contents of this book to the best of your abilities and..”

Before the Emperor could even finish his sentence, he could hear a loud 'Pop!' sound. Turning around, he saw the other party had already closed the manual book tightly.

'Was it too difficult for him to comprehend?' the Emperor couldn't help but thought of this.

The Emperor then shook his head with a smile, ”Don't worry, even I myself took 3 years to understand the first desolation. As it might be a little bit too advanced for you right now, it would take a while, so don't be discouraged..”

”Huh? I've already finished memorizing them all..” Duan Li said with a confused look.

Pu!

The Emperor suddenly found his throat to close up so suddenly, causing him to choke.

Wait a moment, he only said that he had 'memorized' them all, not 'learnt' all 3 of them..

I have to retain my composure and dignity as the Emperor!

Ahem!

”Do you mean that you have only memorized, but not learnt them all?” he asked.

Hearing this, Duan Li threw him a weird look, ”How could that be possible? Of course I could only memorized it your majesty. After all, the skill arts detailed in this book is extremely deep and complicated..”

The Emperor nodded in contentment and thought, 'yes, this is how it should be..'

Duan Li then continued, ”Such that I've only managed to fully understand the first desolation thus far.. I have to say, this book is truly formidable!” he said with a look of awe on him.
