Strongest Offline Cultivation

After Fu Chen entered the library, he got straight into the bookshelves but rather than choosing the techniques and martial sections, he went towards the World Origin Sections.

He has a lot to learn about this world. Even though he did a study at an early age, his resources were limited. And, so, he never got a chance to broaden his horizon simply because he didn’t abandon his training.

Now, he could relax a little bit. And, as Zhu Tan said, those who rush forward without any planning are foolish cultivators. He doesn’t want to remain foolish. He wanted a change.

There were literally hundreds of books that described this world and its people. Some recorded the history of this world while some recorded the background of the world.

His goal was to find a book that can give him a clue that will help him find his own talent. He wasn’t even sure if this would succeed but at least, he could take his time off.

“Ancient Age of Battle”

Seeing the title of the book, he got excited and chose it. There were very less disciples in this section and as an outer disciple, he could stay here as long as he wants.

So, he sat down on the floor and turned on the first page.

“During the Ancient Age of Battle, there were three creatures that ruled the world. Dragons, Devils, and Spirits. Dragons were proud creatures born out of chaos. It is said that they hold the strongest flesh and the strongest divine abilities.”

“Dragons chose their patriarch based on strength. There were many patriarchs in the Dragon Clan but the fourth and seventh patriarchs were different. Unlike other patriarchs, they allowed their people to breed with other lesser beings.”

“These lesser beings were all kinds of beings from simple humans to lions to fish. Every race that wasn’t the part of Dragon, Devil, and Spirit was counted as a Lesser Being.”

“These were the beings who couldn’t cultivate. As the dragon race started influencing the lesser beings, Spirit Race and Devil Race panicked. They found that the Dragons were actively increasing their soldiers for the battle that could happen at any moment.”

“After all, three races were against each other’s throats. So, they also decided to influence the Lesser Beings. Spirits started teaching those Lessers Beings the cultivation while the Devils started creating the demons.”

“The being who has the power of devil but isn’t a true devil is known as Demon. Hence, humans started calling those creatures demon while beasts started calling those creatures Demon Beast.”

“Among all races, the most outstanding race were Heavenly Lion King who had made the contract with Fire Spirit, Mermaid Queen who had made a contract with Water Spirit, Earth Demon King who had made a contract with Devil, Wyvern King who had made a contract with Dragons, and Dark Elephant King who had made a contract with Metal Spirit.”

“This shifted the balance between three races and caused the most destructive battle of the Ancient Age. The humans were at the bottom of the food chain but because some of them had received the powers of the devil, the bloodline of a dragon, and the cultivation of a spirit, they managed to overcome this war.”

“Three Races perished together while five kings managed to hold their thrones and humans managed to rise. With the rise of humans, five kings decided on their lands as a Five Region of Blue Star Kingdom.”

“While humans did rise in this place, there were several other places where three major races managed to survive, where demons managed to replace the humans, where monster beasts managed to control the entire kingdom.”

“This gave birth to Three Kingdoms and Five Zones. Blue Star Kingdom, Chaos Star Kingdom, and the Divine Star Kingdom. The Blue Star Kingdom is a place where humans rule.”

“The Chaos Star Kingdom is a place where monster beasts rule. And, the Divine Star Kingdom is a place where the remaining creatures of the Three Greater Races live.”

“Between The Chaos Star Kingdom and the Blue Star Kingdom, there is a big desert known as the Western Desert. It is also the size of ten Blue Star Kingdoms which is why The Chaos Star Kingdom and the Blue Star Kingdom do not go to war.”

“On the northern side of the Blue Star Kingdom, there is a Forbidden Ground. It is also known as a Forbidden Ground even before the Ancient Age. On the southern side of the Blue Star Kingdom, there is a Devil Zone.”

“It is a place where only devils live, the devil who does not share their kingdom with Spirits and Dragons. They are only separated by a large ocean and if they managed to cross it or navigate it, then they can directly attack the Royal Capital of Blue Star Kingdom.”

“Then, there is a Holy Paradise of Cultivation nearly the Divine Star Kingdom. It was made by the efforts of those three races so that they can fight against Lesser Races after the ninety percent destruction of their own.”

“Finally, there is a Death Pond. It is located between the Chaos Star Kingdom and the Divine Star Kingdom. Nobody can survive in this pond and thus, these two kingdoms can’t fight directly from the connected side.”

“This was the result of the battle of the Ancient Age.”

After reading the entire book, he closed it. It wasn’t the book with just words. There were lots of pictures that showed the figure of each race, especially dragons, devils, and spirits.

Dragons were the same as they were explained in the legends. But, in this book, there were actually two kinds of dragons. Both were strong but one was a bit evil. The dragons with legs like elephants, bodies like dinosaurs, and far-spreading wings.

They were evil and are often known for their battle. Then, there was another kind of dragon. The body is like a snake, the mustache like a cat but thick and long, claw-like an eagle, and without wings.

They were known for their discipline and also arrogance. They often referred to themselves as the Divine Dragons or Golden Dragons.

Devils on the other hand were quite different. They were almost like humans but with black wings behind their backs and black horns on their heads. Their teeth were scarlet alongside some other parts of their bodies.

Their body was like rock, without any slender feeling rather completely rough.

Unlike devils, Spirits were different in their size. They were often small but if they want to change, they could alter their size. In human size, they look exactly like humans except with the ears like elves.

Fu Chen was fascinated by the story that he didn’t realize it was already lunchtime. After finishing the book, he went back to the elder who stayed in the library.

Seeing Fu Chen, he pointed at the box covered with clothes and then pointed at the door behind him. Fu Chen understood and went to the backroom to eat.

After finishing his lunch, he returned with an empty box and kept it in the same place.

“Elder, is it possible to stay here all night?” Fu Chen asked before returning back to his position.

The library elder glanced at him and nodded his head.

Fu Chen smiled and finally returned back to his place. Nobody disturbed him and he continued his research on the world.

The next book he chose was the ‘Creation of Martial Spirit’. In short description, they were the embodiment of creatures who died during the battle of the Ancient Age. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

But, in this book, there was a huge history. Fu Chen enjoyed reading it so much that he completely forgot about time. Only when the book finished, did he realize that it was already night time.

When he walked back to the elder, he pointed at the box and said “That girl said she will deliver the breakfast early in the morning.”

‘Thank you for understanding, Le.’ Fu Chen smiled and thanked Xue Le in his heart. He has completely forgotten about the time but his lover still remembered to send him the breakfast because she understood him well.

Even if he had gone back to the mansion, he would’ve returned to the library after dinner. So, she just made it easier for him. He went to the back room once again and finished his dinner.

After that, the elder gave him a lamp but just when Fu Chen was about to leave. He turned around and asked “Elder, previous you talked to Xue Le about the promise. It was about the change she could bring in the Xue Family, wasn’t it?”

When the elder heard his words, his eyes instantly shrunk. An immense pressure fell on Fu Chen for a second but quickly disappeared. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

“It seems you are really important to her. Yes, I promised to help her with one condition. And, it was that she would change the Xue Family once her bloodline is awakened.”

“But, boy, don’t fall for her too deep. Every female born out of Family Head resulted into a perfect bitch after they mature.”
