Chapter 739: The Sage: Why am I so awesome?

This time around, he had a lot of time. As such, Song Shuhang relied on his powerful memory to note down this version of the ❮Disposition-Tempering Prose Poetry of the Sage❯ written with ancient characters.

Now, I won’t have to worry even if I get dragged into that infinite make-up test s.p.a.ce again, Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Still, that infinite make-up test s.p.a.ce didn’t appear. Soon after, the split open body of the Mountain of Myriad Books started to slowly close up. Just as it was closing up, the Mountain of Myriad Books shouted and wrangled.

What the h.e.l.l was going on?! Since when had its body become like this? It had unexpectedly turned into a huge book? Who had carried out this cruel transformation on its body while it was soundly sleeping?

“The mountain closed again… but what about the Still Pond of Wisdom?” Song Shuhang looked all around, not seeing any ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’.

The Mountain of Myriad Books had been overturned, and there had been a sudden and strange change. Such being the case, the Still Pond of Wisdom should have also appeared, right? And yet, it was nowhere to be seen!

Was it possible that they would have to satisfy other conditions as well to make the Still Pond of Wisdom appear?

That’s really troublesome… if I use my ‘secret appraisal technique’ to appraise the Mountain of Myriad Books, will I obtain some clue?

No, that wouldn’t work.

Song Shuhang would still get affected by those 88,888 voices in his mind from time to time. At the same time, his understanding of the appraisal technique was getting better and better, and even the price he had to pay had become a lot less harsh.

Still, if he were to appraise something like the Mountain of Myriad Books, which was gigantic, had existed for a very long time, and was concealing all sorts of secrets… he might lose so much blood that he might directly die!

Song Shuhang secretly pulled at his glove. For his personal safety, it would be better if he forgot about appraising the Mountain of Myriad Books.

Perhaps there simply wasn’t any fate between him and the Still Pond of Wisdom…

But right at this time, the eyes of the nearby True Monarch Eternal Fire suddenly lit up.

He took out a paper and a brush, and started to quickly write something.

He started with the ❮Self-Cultivating Prose Poetry of the Sage❯, and after a few seconds, True Monarch Eternal Fire had completely written down the lengthy prose poetry on the paper. Afterward, it was the turn of the ❮Disposition-Tempering Prose Poetry of the Sage❯.

Once he had finished writing down the two texts, True Monarch Eternal Fire stood in place with his hands crossed behind his back, looking at the far-off Mountain of Myriad Books.

“Eh? Senior Eternal Fire has discovered how to solve the mystery?” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

It wasn’t only him… the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were also expectantly waiting for something to happen.

Next, True Monarch Eternal Fire raised his hands, and the two pieces of paper with the ancient characters written above started to hover midair.

In the next moment, the shouting and wrangling Mountain of Myriad Books suddenly calmed down. Then, its voice changed, becoming emotionless and indifferent.

The Mountain of Myriad Books started to speak, reciting aloud the ❮Self-Cultivating Prose Poetry of the Sage❯ and the ❮Disposition-Tempering Prose Poetry of the Sage❯.

While it was reciting the two pieces of prose poetry, the corresponding ancient characters of the ❮Self-Cultivating Prose Poetry of the Sage❯ and ❮Disposition-Tempering Prose Poetry of the Sage❯ that True Monarch Eternal Fire had written down on the papers would lit up.

But that wasn’t all.

At last, the ancient characters turned into a ma.s.s of golden light that jumped out of the paper, starting to hover midair.

The Mountain of Myriad Books was speaking very slowly, and it took it whole three minutes to finish reading aloud the two ancient texts.

In the air, the ancient characters of the two texts condensed together, transforming into two b.a.l.l.s of dazzling and blinding golden light.

Something is going to happen soon! the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group thought to themselves.

❄️❄️❄️

The ancient characters of the two texts were getting brighter and brighter. In the end, the golden light ‘melted’, turning into a pond of light.

The pond of light hovered midair at the height of five meters.

Was this the so-called Still Pond of Wisdom?

“Eh? The bottom of that pond of light is actually the entrance to another dimension!” Venerable White immediately saw through the true nature of the ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’.

From the looks of it, it was possible to go to another place after jumping in the ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’.

Right at this time, True Monarch Eternal Fire bowed at Venerable White and the others, and said, “Are you interested in joining me to explore this place?”

“Is that really okay?” Venerable White said with a smile.

After all, it was a treasure that belonged to the scholarly faction, and it was somewhat inappropriate for strangers like them to get involved.

True Monarch Eternal Fire faintly smiled, and said, “There is no harm. Perhaps it was fate.”

“Since Senior Eternal Fire agreed, we won’t stand on ceremony.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer faintly smiled. He held the barrel of wine in one hand and jumped toward the Still Pond of Wisdom. He wanted to get into the place on the other side before True Monarch Eternal Fire changed his mind.

Soon after, Fairy Lychee, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator, and True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple also followed in Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s footsteps, proceeding toward that ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’ made of light.

The four of them gently jumped inside the pond.

But in the next moment, they pa.s.sed through the light of the pond and landed on the ground. They were unable to reach the place located on the other side of the ‘Still Pond of Wisdom’.

“Eh?” Young Master Phoenix Slayer was surprised.

He could clearly feel that there was another dimension on the other side of the pond of light. However, they had been unable to come into contact with this pond, and the dimension on the other side felt like an illusion for them.

“Interesting… let me give it a try.” Venerable White gently smiled. He likewise arrived next to the pond and jumped into it.
