Chapter 543: Chapter 254: The Ten Ultimate Formations_2

At this point, the murderous aura had completely dissipated.

Chen Shi regained his composure and placed his hand on the Ten Absolute Tribulation Formation that constituted the entrance. In an instant, the entire gateway rapidly contracted, transforming from a threatening talisman formation into a Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman.

Stepping forward, Chen Shi walked through the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman and entered the stone chamber.

His heart overflowed with joy, for mastering the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman and being proficient in the Ten Absolute Formation brought him more happiness than acquiring any Immortal Law!

This was because it solved a longstanding problem that had troubled him.

Inside the Book Collection Pavilion were scrolls of Golden Books, with skilled craftsmen having rolled gold into pages, imprinting a variety of Cultivation Techniques onto the glittering sheets.

Paper could weather and shatter, ink could fade, and even steles would gradually decay over time, their inscriptions becoming blurred and unclear, but gold could perpetuate through the ages, making it most suitable for recording significant matters.

"Ten Books of Cultivation."

The first volume of the Golden Books caught Chen Shi’s eye.

He opened it to find it discussed ten cultivation methods, ranging from Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment to Tribulation Crossing and Ascension, all ten methods incredibly comprehensive.

Especially notable was that these ten methods included the Tribulation Crossing Realm and Ascension Realm Cultivation Techniques, unknown to present-day cultivators!

"Excellent!"

Chen Shi’s heart surged with excitement as he flipped open another Golden Book. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Taishang Golden Court Scripture!"

As he looked inside, there was no mention of Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul. The opening sentences were directly about Harmonization.

After gazing at it for a moment, he felt dizzy and with a ’thud’, his head hit the ground. An indeterminate amount of time passed before he gradually came to his senses, horrified at what had happened.

"Did I pass out? Just two glances and I blacked out?"

His heart filled with alarm, he stood up quickly, closed the "Taishang Golden Court Scripture," and dared not look at it again.

"Supreme Great Brightness Divine Spell."

After a few glances at this book, ’thud’—Chen Shi was again on the ground, and after some time passed with his eyeballs rolling once, he slowly awakened again. He closed the Golden Book and proceeded to the next one.

"Upper Pure Nine True Inner Technique."

Moments later, Chen Shi lay on his back, sleeping soundly.

"Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart."

He fell to the ground, slept deeply.

"Emperor Purple Palace Technique."

He fell to the ground, slept deeply.

"Merciful Light Seventeen Purifying Heaven and Earth Great Spell."

He fell to the ground, rested peacefully.

"Jade Emperor Nine Heavens Chart."

He fell to the ground.

...

The Sheep-Horned Man, the Guardian Beast of the Tomb, observed as Chen Shi repeatedly collapsed and peacefully slumbered in the treasure trove, then got up again and continued to read. The creature couldn’t help but marvel, "The emissary’s spirit is exceptionally strong. To have viewed so much without dying."

It was quite patient and waited.

Indeed, the Book Collection Pavilion contained Immortal Laws, but such were not something ordinary people could peruse; upon viewing, most couldn’t remember. Those like Chen Shi who instantly fell asleep upon looking were actually better off, indicating that his spirit was strong and his Nascent Soul pure.

Ordinary people would usually bleed from all openings and die, or go mad, or become mindless like puppets, some even reduced to a vegetative state.

Even someone as formidable as Chen Yindou, who had exhausted his efforts to reach this place, didn’t dare to take any of the Immortal Laws but only snatched away the "Water and Fire Refining Technique" to cultivate the Corpse Resolving Immortal, a testament to the difficulty of Immortal Laws.

For someone like Chen Shi to still be alive, even a grandmaster of Refining the God and Returning to Void would likely have been long dead; Chen Shi simply fell asleep, which was indeed very unusual.

Eventually, Chen Shi stood in front of a Golden Book, opened it to look, and, for a long time, did not faint.

"Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill."

Though he did not pass out, Chen Shi still could not understand much.

He widened his eyes, striving to memorize the content of "Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill," committing it to memory, including the Spell True Mantra.

His grandfather had once told him, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, remember it first, and slowly comprehend it later."

After a good while, Chen Shi had memorized "Xiaolang’s Emperor Chapter Skill." Closing his eyes to recall it for a moment and ensuring no errors, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He started walking out, but suddenly felt dizzy and had to quickly support himself against the wall to prevent falling.

His heart raced uncontrollably, and the scenery before him seemed as if it had split into two layers, sometimes overlapping, and at times separating.

"I’ve injured my spirit, my Nascent Soul is damaged!"

Chen Shi steadied himself with great effort, finding that stone chamber’s portal had been sealed again.

Taking a deep breath, he barely managed to activate the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman, nearly making a mistake.

He quickly withdrew his hand and did not attempt to open the portal.

To open the chamber door, there was no room for carelessness—if an error was made, the Ten Absolute Formation could erupt, and he would face utter annihilation of body and soul!

Chen Shi closed his eyes to rest for a while. As his body recovered somewhat, he tried activating the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman a few more times without error.

Feeling fully confident, he finally opened the stone chamber’s portal.

The Sheep-Horned Guardian Beast of the Tomb quietly waited for him to emerge from the chamber, then remarked, "The emissary is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Shi was still dizzy and breathless, and he replied, "How so?"

The Sheep-Horned Guardian Beast said, "Having viewed so many Immortal Books and still being able to walk out alive, with your mind still stable and without any flaws—that is extraordinary. Even masters of the Returning Void Realm would likely have perished by now."

It was quite curious about Chen Shi.

Such an accomplishment was not something a Nascent Soul Realm youth could achieve, but Chen Shi had forcibly memorized a Golden Book and was still alive after exiting the True King’s Tomb Book Collection Pavilion. It was indeed very strange.

Chen Shi grabbed the Fu Shen Tianji and tried to drag him out of the True King’s Tomb, but as soon as he exerted force, he fell to his knees with a ’plop.’

"Could you help me drag him out?" Chen Shi asked, wobbling to his feet.

"At your service."

The Sheep-Horned Guardian Beast gently picked up Fu Shen Tianji and walked out.

Chen Shi stumbled after him and, upon stepping outside the True King’s Tomb, felt the sunlight piercing his eyes and the world spinning, and he hastily braced himself.
