Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 405 - 404: Zheng Changye’s Breathing Was Somewhat Rapid
Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Zheng Changye’s Breathing Was Somewhat Rapid
The time was still early, and this was the third floor of the library.
Here, naturally, there was hardly anyone present.
Shen Han did not waste time and proceeded to extract the [lengthy and convoluted] entry.
Replacing it with [simple and easy-to-learn].
Only one two-hour period was available, and it could not be squandered.
After modifying the entry, the entire content of the book changed completely.
Originally, when opening this “Soul Shattering Tao Skill,” every page was filled with dense text.
Now, each page’s content was very concise.
After a basic glance, one could understand its meaning, unlike the original book, which was so complex.
The “Soul Shattering Tao Skill” was a classic that explained the Divine Soul very clearly.
The so-called Divine Soul is actually the method by which cultivators control Soul Power.
There used to be some debates in the Divine Land.
About how to balance cultivation realms and Divine Souls, and which was stronger or weaker?
For those prodigies as monstrous as they are, simultaneous cultivation of both is natural.
But human energy is limited, and Divine Soul cultivation alone is enough to exhaust everyone’s time, energy, and even resources.
In past debates, some people still dedicated all efforts to cultivating realms.
However, reality proved to everyone that Divine Souls of the same realm were far superior to the realm itself.
The sects that insisted on realm cultivation have all been swallowed by the torrent of history.
Sometimes, choice is even more important than talent.
Nowadays, generally, thirty percent of the effort is spent on realm cultivation, with all other effort focusing on Divine Soul cultivation.
Shen Han flipped through rapidly, and after attaching the [simple and easy-to-learn] entry, its content was indeed easy to grasp.
A little before 7:00 AM, Shen Han had already finished reading the entire “Soul Shattering Tao Skill.”
He should be considered a newcomer to Divine Soul, with the first step being nurturing and cultivating initial Soul Power.
Using the body’s vitality and blood to nourish and cultivate one’s own Divine Soul.
This step is the foundation of the Divine Soul, and also the beginning of differences.
The “Soul Shattering Tao Skill” explains this very clearly.
Nourishing and cultivating the Divine Soul is actually closely related to the physical foundation of the cultivator.
If one’s body is inherently weak, with deficient vitality and unclear mind.
The Divine Soul cultivated this way will also be weaker.
Soul Power among the same cultivators can also vary greatly.
Furthermore, the “Soul Shattering Tao Skill” itself is superior to other similar Cultivation Techniques.
The improvement in Divine Soul nurturing can be several times more effective.
The time was up, and Shen Han immediately removed the [simple and easy-to-learn] entry and reattached the original [lengthy and convoluted] entry.
He had no interest in helping those from Cangxuan Valley.
After handling everything, Shen Han descended from the third floor.
There were already some people on the first and second floors browsing the classics.
Though the second floor wasn’t crowded, Shen Han noticed Zheng Changye, with whom he had some grievances.
Seeing someone coming down from the third floor, everyone subconsciously turned to see.
Upon discovering it was an Outer Sect disciple, many couldn’t help but laugh; just another person wasting Contribution Points.
But when Zheng Changye saw Shen Han, his entire face instantly changed, shocked.
In front of others, Zheng Changye made no move.
This was a library, and he dared not act for fear of destroying the books.
The primary reason for his restraint, however, was his concern.
Zheng Changye was anxious, not wanting the matter of going toe-to-toe with Shen Han to become more widely known.
Not only was it embarrassing, but their branch knowing would also alter their assessment of Zheng Changye.
At that time, Zheng Changye’s life would undergo major changes.
In just that moment, Zheng Changye thought of many things.
If Shen Han continued to stay in Cangxuan Valley and Junior Sister Ying encountered Shen Han.
Without surprise, this Junior Sister Ying would certainly tell his cousin.
Then Zheng Changnian would go under the guise of avenging his older brother.
Dealing with Shen Han posed no issue.
But if it escalated, the entire Cangxuan Valley might know he couldn’t even beat someone from the hinterlands like Northern Mountain Domain…
Zheng Changye’s reputation might plummet overnight into an abyss.
Zheng Changye couldn’t accept this; it was bad enough he couldn’t surpass Zheng Changnian.
Now, if people said he couldn’t even compare to people from Northern Mountain Domain, how could he still hold his head up?
Thinking of this, Zheng Changye’s breathing quickened a bit.
He couldn’t allow Shen Han to remain in Cangxuan Valley any longer; he had to drive Shen Han away.
“Senior Sister Xia, the person who just came down from the third floor, can you tell which branch he’s from?”
Hearing Zheng Changye’s question, this Senior Sister Xia recalled slightly.
“He should be an Outer Sect disciple from Feixia Mansion; the insignia on his robe is quite clear.”
Feixia Mansion…
On the north side of Cangxuan Valley…
As if recalling something, Senior Sister Xia ran over to the window on the second floor and looked down.
Seeing Shen Han and Mu Ming leave together, she then called Zheng Changye over.
“Now I’m even surer; they are indeed Outer Sect disciples of Feixia Mansion.
The one accompanying is from Feixia Mansion’s medicinal garden.
Why, do you know them?”
Zheng Changye smiled and shook his head: “I just wanted to see which mansion’s Outer Sect disciple is so arrogant to dare go to the third floor of the library.”
“Maybe he’s new; many newly admitted Outer Sect disciples like to go to the third floor to read books.
Only after suffering some setbacks do they realize they should stay grounded and honestly start from the first floor.”
After hearing this, Zheng Changye casually nodded in agreement.
However, in his mind, he had already begun plotting.
Cangxuan Valley is not a place where one can kill arbitrarily.
To even attempt taking a same-sect member’s life, even for Outer Sect disciples, is a major taboo.
Zheng Changye didn’t plan to eliminate Shen Han this way but rather to first find a way to evict him.
Once outside Cangxuan Valley, everything would be negotiable.
After Shen Han and Mu Ming returned, Shen Han did not leave again that day.
Mu Ming understood that usually after visiting the library, one had to ponder things over carefully.
After all, the library does not allow paper or pen for transcription; it relies entirely on mental notes.
Naturally, one must quickly note things while the memory is fresh.
Returning to his room, Shen Han began to immerse himself in cultivation.
With those Cultivation Techniques attached with [simple and easy-to-learn] entries, remembering wasn’t particularly difficult.
He sat cross-legged and entered the consciousness space of the “Gen Mountain Secret Technique.”
He had once studied Sword Dao here along with various Cultivation Techniques.
Unexpectedly, they were still useful now.
The initial phase of Divine Soul involves nurturing and cultivation.
One must gradually accumulate Soul Power from the outset.
Many start their Soul Power cultivation early, thinking early practice provides evident advantages.
But after Shen Han thoroughly read “Soul Shattering Tao Skill,” he gained some insights into the Divine Land’s so-called Soul Power.
Though he started late, his body’s strength exceeds that of his younger days for nourishing the Divine Soul and providing vitality.
Moreover, other Divine Soul nurturing methods show some disdain for using Pills for auxiliary nurturing.
Even if used, restraint is highly emphasized.
Yet the “Soul Shattering Tao Skill” speaks plainly.
Many focus solely on Divine Soul nurturing, neglecting physical cultivation altogether.
The issue isn’t with the Divine Soul being unable to endure the nurturing from Pills but with their physical strength being inadequate.
It’s the body that can’t withstand the aggressive properties of the Pills.
Furthermore, the “Soul Shattering Tao Skill” can also enhance the effect of Pills.
