My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

“Princely Heir, these are all Fruits of Path to Divinity. Most of them are lightly corrupted and their powers aren’t that strong, so the enhancement to one’s cultivation is also quite limited.”

“The elder gave you the Thousand-Character Token; if possible, you can choose those Fruits of Path to Divinity on the second floor. The boost they provide to your cultivation is not something those on this floor can compare with.”

“But there’s one thing the Princely Heir must be mindful of.”

“The more a Fruit of Path to Divinity enhances one’s cultivation strength, the more severe its corruptive influence on a person. If the cultivation level is low, it’s not much of a problem, but once it surpasses the realm of Sky-Man, the impact of the Fruits of Path to Divinity on a person will become increasingly significant.”

“A single misstep, and one might become a devil or a demon beast.”

“According to the elder, many of the demon beasts in this world, a very long time ago, were just ordinary spirits or ordinary human race cultivators.”

Zhou Qingxu softly explained.

Cheng Guang’s eyes slightly widened as he listened to Zhou Qingxu’s words.

The more powerful the Fruits of Path to Divinity, the greater the effect they have on a person.

Many cultivators, after reaching the realm of Sky-Man, had sudden drastic changes in disposition, all because of the contamination from heaven and earth.

However.

Those Sky-Men had not obtained the Fruits of Path to Divinity. Their personalities changed, at most becoming a bit eccentric, and they did not fall to the level of becoming devils or demon beasts.

But once one obtained the Fruits of Path to Divinity, while the potential for further advancement in cultivation became possible, the risks involved in the process of cultivation also increased accordingly.

As Cheng Guang contemplated this, he suddenly thought of the Fruit of Path to Divinity he had just acquired.

The Fruit of Path to Divinity of Tang Sanzang.

It was a Spiritual Essence inherited directly from the Heavenly Dao.

Why is it that after I obtained the Fruit of Path to Divinity, I haven’t experienced much influence?

As Cheng Guang pondered over this, he felt somewhat puzzled.

Just as Cheng Guang was about to ask Zhou Qingxu for more information about the Fruits of Path to Divinity,

Zhou Qingxu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked towards the end of the Library corridor.

Bowing respectfully, he then spoke out loud:

“I pay my respects to Elder Shi, Elder Bai.”

Hearing Zhou Qingxu’s words, Cheng Guang paused his steps and glanced upward, following Zhou Qingxu’s gaze towards the distance.

Looking towards the end of the Library corridor, a hint of confusion flashed in Cheng Guang’s eyes.

At the end of the corridor.

There was nothing at all.

Who is Zhou Qingxu greeting?

While Cheng Guang thought this, about to turn his head away from the corridor’s end, he felt a sudden chill in his brow, and a flash of white light crossed his eyes.

Looking into the distance once again,

Cheng Guang was taken aback to see

Two elderly figures standing at the end of the corridor.

The two elders, one with white hair, one with black, had different hair colors but shared the same aura of decay.

Instead of appearing pallid, their complexions were rosy, seemingly incorporeal, as they resided within the walls of the Library.

As Cheng Guang scrutinized the two elders, the elders were likewise observing him.

When their gazes met,

Cheng Guang politely lowered his head in greeting, then spoke:

“I pay my respects to the two elders.”

Contrasting the elders’ initial shock, they then stared at Cheng Guang as if they had seen a ghost. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

“You, boy, can you actually see us two?”

The white-haired elder, after being stunned for a good while, watched Cheng Guang with eyes full of emotion, as if perplexed why Cheng Guang could see their figures.

Cheng Guang sincerely nodded.

“Yes, I can see you.”

At these words from Cheng Guang,

both the white-haired and the black-haired elders fell silent, exchanged a look, and felt as if they were dreaming.

“In this world, aside from that stinking cur Li Er, is there someone else who could see us?”

“The Netherworld has long ceased to exist, Immortal Buddhas are no more; there shouldn’t be anyone who can see us. Could this person be some immortal being reincarnated?”

“I don’t know, Elder Bai, why don’t you ask him yourself?”

“Why don’t you ask him yourself, Elder Hei?”

The white-haired elder and the black-haired elder each said a piece, soon appearing to argue with each other, glaring indignantly.

Cheng Guang, hearing the dialogue between the two elders, could not help but be slightly amused.

“Elders, it’s probably better not to quarrel. Quarreling can hurt feelings. Is there something strange in my being able to see you both?”

The white-haired elder and the black-haired elder, hearing Cheng Guang’s words, seemed to tacitly close their mouths, no longer arguing, but instead turned their attention to Cheng Guang.

Watching Cheng Guang,

One moment,

the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder were at the end of the first-floor corridor of the Library, but the next moment, they appeared within the walls beside Cheng Guang.

The two of them surrounded Cheng Guang, one to the left and one to the right.

“You say, what’s strange about you seeing us?”

“Of course it’s strange!”

“We two are only visible to the dead, and you, a living person, are able to see us. Isn’t that very strange?”

“Besides, your cultivation level isn’t that high, not yet reaching the point where you could see us without being dead.”

“You’re very strange!!”

The two elders took turns explaining the matter clearly.

Cheng Guang only just heard the white-haired elder and the black-haired elder say that only the dead could see them, and was utterly shocked.

What is this situation?

Only the dead can see you??
