Chapter 316: Reading Thousands of Books, Qualitative Change

At this moment, in this dim room, everything was as quiet as a dull summer.

In this quiet room, the long box made of pure metal was handed to Master Cao Xiu by the Barbarian Emperor.

Master Cao Xiu looked at the box made of pure metal, listened to what the Barbarian Emperor said, thought for a moment, and raised his hand to pick up the metal box.

When he took the metal box in his hand, he immediately felt a surge of momentum, along with the metal box, spreading all over his body.

He was a master of the peak of the heavenly realm, and one of the few top people in the world, but when the momentum in the long box surged, he felt a sense of terror, spreading from his heart.

"This sense of terror should not come from me."

Master Cao Xiu thought to himself: "I am already the top of this world, how could anyone make me feel afraid?"

With such a strange idea, Master Cao Xiu looked at the long box in front of him again and again.

The more he looked, the more frightened Master Cao Xiu felt.

There is no crack on it, and there is no opening. If he could not feel the things inside when shaking it, he would even think it was just a long piece of metal.

After studying it for a while, Master Cao Xiu suddenly showed surprise on his face: "Your Majesty, this box was made by you to isolate the terrifying aura of the things inside, right?"

The Barbarian Emperor nodded and did not deny it: "Yes, this is exactly what I made. If there is no box, I am afraid that the aura inside will be exposed, and even thousands of miles away, it will be felt by others."

Master Cao Xiu could no longer control the expression on his face, and his face was full of shock.

Even with this box to isolate, he can still feel the horror inside, which shows how terrifying the things inside are.

"Your Majesty, what is inside?"

Obviously, this metal box without cracks is made with such a sophisticated means that even Master Cao Xiu feels that it is so sophisticated that it makes people feel scared.

"This work should have been made by the most skilled caster in the Barbarian Country."

"And this metal is definitely not an ordinary metal."

Even Master Cao Xiu couldn't tell its composition.

When the Barbarian Emperor heard Master Cao Xiu say this, he slowly said: "There is a key in this thing."

"Key?"

After hearing these two words, Master Cao Xiu felt that he was getting more and more confused.

"What key?"

He didn't shy away and asked directly.

Because at this moment, they have fallen into a desperate situation, any method that can solve the problem cannot be let go.

The Barbarian Emperor took the rectangular box and gently turned it on the table: "At the beginning, the Great Domain Dynasty unified the world, but later in order to deal with the terrifying weirdness, the emperor of the Great Domain Dynasty led all the civil and military officials at that time to fight the enemy together."

"Afterwards, although the Great Domain Dynasty did not fall apart, it ended up with only one in ten left. You all know this."

Master Cao Xiu nodded, indicating that he knew these situations.

For people of their level, this is no longer a big secret.

At most, it is just common sense.

The darkness of that era was extremely terrifying.

And the people in the industry of that era were dead or disabled, almost reaching the end of their rope.

But Master Cao Xiu thought, what does this have to do with this box?

He didn't ask, because he knew that since the conversation had come to this point, there must be a follow-up.

Sure enough, before Master Cao Xiu showed his curiosity, the Barbarian Emperor continued to speak.

"A dynasty with only one in ten remaining, relying on its last foundation in that era, slowly lingered for many years. They replaced each other from generation to generation, but in the end, they could not recover in a short time due to the previous losses."

"But at that time, the cracks in the sky were blocked, and the cracks on the ground were buffered by the spiritual space. Humans were no longer troubled by the weirdness, and at most, some weirdness appeared from time to time."

"Then, after a long time, humans were able to take a breath and gradually grow stronger. There were countless geniuses during that time, and they could almost be described as appearing out of nowhere."

"Then, the remaining Great Domain Dynasty could not suppress it."

Master Cao Xiu was slightly stunned, and then reacted, saying four words in a low voice: "The War of Hundred Countries."

To talk about what happened later, it is also a magnificent and epic article.

At the beginning, the Great Domain Dynasty could hardly suppress those geniuses who appeared out of nowhere, and the brilliant geniuses, so one country after another, unexpectedly emerged during that period of time.

Hundreds of countries also began to seek the territory of the Great Domain Dynasty at that time.

Because of this, that period of history was extremely tragic.

The Great Domain Dynasty was gone, and the remaining hundred countries fought each other madly in order to compete for the first place in the world.

Sometimes, people are like this. When there are no enemies, they always have to make some trouble.

Internal fighting is the biggest trouble.

Where there is a world, there is chaos.

This sentence is most appropriate for the original war of a hundred countries.

"Your Majesty, you mean that the key here is related to the War of the Hundred Nations?" Master Cao Xiu asked.

The Barbarian Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed related to the War of the Hundred Nations."

He stood up, came to the door, and closed the window. At the same time, a strong breath surged from his body, isolating everything around him.

The next words, except for Master Cao Xiu, can't be heard by others. If they hear it, they will lose their heads.

Master Cao Xiu saw that the Barbarian Emperor was so cautious, and he knew that this matter was definitely not simple. He sat in his seat without a smile, waiting for the next words.

After doing all this, the Barbarian Emperor sat back to his original position and sat face to face with Master Cao Xiu.

"I led all the people of the Barbarian Kingdom and rushed all the way to a bitter and cold land. Although life was hard, it was never destroyed."

"During that time, I unexpectedly found this key in a deep mountain."

"I know that the things inside are not simple, so I put them in this metal box and don't let outsiders know."

"But I often go out to find out its secrets."

Master Cao Xiu heard this and suddenly realized: "No wonder your majesty always goes out for a few days every month, and no one knows what your majesty is doing."

The Barbarian Emperor nodded and said: "I have been looking for it for a long time, and finally I really found it."

"What did you find?"

Master Cao Xiu was extremely curious.

To say that at their level, there are not many things that can make them curious.

But the secret of the Hundred Nations War is the most important point.

"I found a secret place, it's a door that seems to have not been repaired for a long time."

The Barbarian Emperor's eyes showed a trace of memory: "There is a keyhole on the door, through this keyhole, you can open the stone door, but I didn't open it."

"Why?" Master Cao Xiu asked: "If that's the case, in fact, if we open it and discover the secrets and benefits of the Hundred Nations War, it should be better for us."

The Barbarian Emperor shook his head: "What you think is too superficial. At that time, I took the national destiny as the foundation, and then separated a strand of Qi, and tried every possible way to drill a small hole on the stone door that was only the size of a hair. It took me a lot of time to make it. I saw the scene inside through this small hole."

"What's inside?" Master Cao Xiu asked.

The Barbarian Emperor's eyes revealed a solemn look: "There are a lot of people inside, and each of them carries the breath of time. They opened up a space on their own and survived in it."

"People from the Hundred Nations War! I felt a lot of masters of the Ascension Realm inside, and through that small hole, I finally knew why they stayed inside."

Master Cao Xiu heard this and felt that today, he had opened his eyes.

Just this secret alone made Master Cao Xiu feel shocked enough.

"Then your majesty, why did they stay inside?" Master Cao Xiu asked.

Since we are talking about this, the biggest secret should be completely revealed at this moment.

The Barbarian Emperor sighed, clenched the long box in his hand, and slowly said: "To live."

To live?

The zombie Cao Xiu felt even more strange.

He felt that it was okay for any reason, but because of being alive, it was too strange.

"In that battle, only a few countries survived."

"But that doesn't mean that the other countries were completely destroyed."

"They are still alive, but they have to be careful of the encirclement and suppression of those countries."

The Barbarian Emperor began to narrate.

"So these people actually united together, and finally they used everyone's strength to open up such a small space on their own."

"They have been struggling to survive. In order to prevent someone from being unable to bear the loneliness and going out from inside, and then harming everyone, the door can only be opened from the outside with a key. They kept the key outside, just in case someone got the key, maybe one day they would open the stone door and let them out."

"And because of this, I got this key and kept thinking that this might be the only trump card."

Master Cao Xiu was silent for a while, and finally raised his head and said: "Your Majesty means to release them?"

"That's right." The Barbarian Emperor nodded and said: "After a long time, some of the peak masters of the Ascension Realm inside have fallen, but there are still a few, and there are also many ordinary Ascension Realms. If I really reach the point of being at the end of my rope, I will release them and let them help me solve these troubles."

After listening to what the Barbarian Emperor said, Master Cao Xiu fell into silence.

The Barbarian Emperor saw it and turned around and said, "You think it's not possible?"

Master Cao Xiu showed a difficult look on his face: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it? If they are all released, will the Barbarian Kingdom be affected at that time?"

If it is true that the Barbarian Emperor said that there are remnants of the Hundred Kingdoms War hidden there, then by then, I'm afraid it will not be such a simple matter.

There are many peak Ascension Realm and many ordinary Ascension Realm. Such a number is enough to subvert the current situation.

Barbarian Kingdom is also a part of the current situation.

If this is really the case, I'm afraid the first to be hurt is Barbarian Kingdom.

The Barbarian Emperor shook his head upon hearing this, and slowly said, "Have you ever thought about a question?"

"What question?" Master Cao Xiu was full of doubts.

The Barbarian Emperor continued, "I have no other choice now. To put it bluntly, I want to surrender now and keep my country, but will they let me surrender?"

Master Cao Xiu shook his head, "No, because we have no way out. If it were Emperor Feng Teng of the Great Qi Kingdom, there might still be this way, but we... it is absolutely impossible to survive, because no one will let the Barbarian Kingdom survive."

"Since there is no possibility of surrender, why don't I give it a try?" The Barbarian Emperor said lightly, "Even if I surrender immediately after releasing them, submit to them, and make them a vassal state, I am still the emperor."

"I am not as strong-willed as Emperor Feng Teng. Emperor Feng Teng wants to be the best in the world, but I don't want to be the best in the world. All I want is to live."

In this world, some people like to live a strong life, while others like to live a lingering life, just wanting to live.

After saying this, Master Cao Xiu also fell into silence.

He understood what the Barbarian Emperor meant. In fact, when they were being hunted, if there was no cover of this bitter cold land, if the other party was willing to give them a chance to live, they might have surrendered.

Because the Barbarian Emperor was not as ready to die as imagined.

This was also normal. Even though he was the emperor of Barbarian Country, even though he was one of the most powerful people in the world, he was still a person.

As long as they were human, they would have all kinds of emotions.

Some people were not afraid of death, and some people were afraid of death.

The Barbarian Emperor was afraid of death, so he didn't want to die.

If that was true, Master Cao Xiu didn't want to die either.

No one in this world wanted to die.

And the Barbarian Emperor gave them a chance not to die.

Master Cao Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Can it really work? If they destroy us as well, then we will just dig a hole and jump into it." The Barbarian Emperor shook his head and said, "If we don't release them, we will be the ones to die. We will definitely die without a chance of survival. If we release them, we still have some hope." "Because they are not familiar with this world, we need to guide them. During this period, we will have a very long buffer time." "And this buffer time happens to be when we think of a solution. If we really can't think of a solution, then we will fight to the death. If we think of a solution, then is an opportunity. "

Master Cao Xiu fell silent, then nodded: "Everything is subject to your majesty's orders, then when should we release them?"

The Barbarian Emperor thought for a while and said: "Now, they want to wipe out the follow-up of the Great Chu State, which will take at least a month, because this involves some stubborn party members and some underworld forces in the Great Qi State. "

"It is difficult to end these things, and they can't attack us first."

"Because if they attack first, there will be problems in the back, so this month, we have to think about whether there are other ways. "

"If there is really no way, then release them. "

Master Cao Xiu heard this and agreed.

The two said no more, and Master Cao Xiu had already left the room.

After Master Cao Xiu left, the Barbarian Emperor looked at the metal box in his hand and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he stood up and his tone became extremely solemn.

"I don't want to be someone else's subordinate, but you insist on forcing me to death. If that's the case, then no one should think about living."

The imperial study fell into silence, with only the sound of the Barbarian Emperor knocking on the table, which continued to ring.

...

Time was gradually passing, and the Barbarian Emperor was carrying out his plan, while Zhou An was also madly working on his proficiency.

Now, he still has three skills left, Reading Thousands of Volumes, Trick Fishing, and Making Trouble, which need to reach level nine.

As long as these three skills reach level nine, Zhou An will be able to usher in a real qualitative change and reach the All-Saint realm.

So during this period of time, Zhou An has been working on Reading Thousands of Volumes non-stop, using the proficiency of Reading Thousands of Volumes to improve the storage proficiency.

Of course, the storage proficiency is zero at the beginning, so even if Zhou An works on Reading Thousands of Volumes to level nine, he can only have 70,000 points of storage proficiency.

But that's not a big problem.

At that time, he can work on other skills in reverse, and the storage proficiency can also be increased.

Every day, Zhou An's life began to become very regular.

He would enter the spiritual space to improve his proficiency, and after entering the spiritual space, he would come out to continue improving his proficiency in the outside world.

And Yue Qianjuan's method of improving his proficiency also made everyone wonder if Zhou An was changing his profession.

Because Zhou An read books every day, and he was still reading about various skills.

And not only did he read, he would also write down his insights about various skills.

Not only that, Zhou An even felt that if he really practiced these various skills with all his heart, he might be more powerful than Hei Yu.

Yue Qianjuan's understanding of the book was simply too strong.

Fortunately, Zhou An also knew that sometimes, you can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.

He just read and copied those insights.

Eunuch Wei had already arranged the country's destiny.

The current Great Qi State has long been divided into two parts.

One part belongs to the Great Yue State, and the other part belongs to the Great Qi State.

The division of territory between the two sides is very regular, and there is no situation of grabbing territory.

After all, everyone has united together to fight against the most powerful country in the past, and they can be regarded as going through life and death together.

As long as there is no major conflict, they will laugh it off.

Now, according to Eunuch Wei, Emperor Yunqi and Emperor Xingwu have recently begun to recover to normal, and their strength has returned to the original level, and there is a possibility of improvement, because the territory they control now has also become larger.

The only flaw is that there are still some remnants who make trouble from time to time, and after a while, they will jump out to make trouble.

Fortunately, people from the Great Chu State and the Great Yue State have been constantly coming in to help pacify these remnants.

Zhou An also helps from time to time.

When Eunuch Wei and others are too busy, he will help.

Of course, his help is to directly draw the sword and cut the opponent into the appearance of an aunt.

Every time he drew his sword, Zhou An couldn't help but think of his aunt and that memorable night.

He felt that he hadn't thought of his aunt for a long time.

So every time he saw those ashes and meat paste, Zhou An couldn't help but think of her.

As for the Great Viet Kingdom, he would go to help from time to time. After all, Zhou An was also treated as a guest of honor in the Great Viet Kingdom.

At the beginning, he helped Emperor Yunqi solve his illness.

In addition, he read thousands of books every day and never tired of it.

So much so that even Zhou An, the liver emperor who had a person living in his liver, was a little numb.

He wrote a lot of his insights, and even at the end, he felt a little weird.

After all, when you read more books, you will have more ideas.

Fortunately, although it has an impact, he can still control it.

Today is the most important day. Zhou An is holding a book of various skills in his hand and is still reading it.

After reading it, he began to copy his insights on it.

Now, he is only a little away from the ninth level.

Heiyu sat next to him obediently, but in addition to being obedient, he could feel the terrifying momentum on his body.

Now Heiyu has integrated another of the eight unique skills, and is only five away from integrating all the eight unique skills.

And Heiyu's strength is also rising.

Zhou An estimated that when she integrates half of it, she will be able to reach the level of the Ascension Realm. If she integrates further, she will reach the peak of the Ascension Realm.

When she integrates all of it, it is estimated that she will be able to reach the level of Xiao Heyun at the beginning.

Of course, this road is still very long, and it will take time for Heiyu to go on.

Neither of them spoke, and Heiyu kept looking at Zhou An with a silly look.

Every day when Heiyu rested, he looked at Zhou An with this look, and the attachment in his eyes was much more than before.

Because Zhou An experienced that danger and almost lost his life, Heiyu cherished Zhou An more and became more dependent on him.

Even when Zhou An walked, Heiyu would stare at him with his eyes.

Zhou An had already gotten used to Heiyu's state, and the pen in his hand kept writing, and his proficiency was also increasing.

His proficiency was about to reach its peak, and Reading Thousand Volumes would also usher in a qualitative change.

When he wrote the last word thoroughly, the latest choice appeared in front of him.

Smoke curled up, this was the effect of the qualitative change of Reading Thousand Volumes.

Zhou An's face was full of expectations, looking forward to what kind of surprises the ninth-level Reading Thousand Volumes could bring him. (End of this chapter)
