In Gu Linyue's opinion, the cultivation difficulty of the Asura Battle Method was extraordinary.
Even the first three layers were enough to take Xin Ci decades to cultivate.
After several days.
Xin Ci, in the cultivation room, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"This Asura Battle Method is indeed a supreme true meaning. It took me nearly half a month to master the first layer, but even just the first layer has significantly increased my combat power. Without relying on Qing'er's strength, I can defeat even a Heavenly Venerable of three stars or above."
If the other disciples of the Slaughter Heart Sacred Court were to hear Xin Ci's words, their jaws would surely drop in astonishment.
It was well known that the battle methods of the Four Great Halls were not easy to cultivate, especially the most powerful Asura Battle Method.
Most disciples spent several years to master the first layer, while Xin Ci only took half a month to cultivate the first layer of the Asura Battle Method, showcasing his incredible talent.
Simultaneously, Xin Ci's stagnant realm also broke through, advancing to two-star Heavenly Venerable.
The true essence within his body became even more vigorous and profound, with a surge of powerful energy filling his entire being.
Mu Qing'er, within his consciousness space, also felt this surge of power and was happy for Xin Ci.
Elder Han was also gratified, transmitting, "Your cultivation speed is still as fast as ever. Even I, who was once known as the number one genius of the Northern Cold Sacred Land, remained at the one-star Heavenly Venerable realm for two years before successfully entering the two-star Heavenly Venerable realm.
"And you, my boy, only took half a year to successfully break through. It's truly enviable."
However, Xin Ci simply smiled it off.
He didn't feel that his realm breakthrough was fast; it took him half a year to break through a minor realm.
And Mu Qing'er, who had been protecting him all along, was at the peak of the Sacred Emperor realm.
Xin Ci did not want to be a burden to Mu Qing'er any longer. He hoped to break through faster, catch up to her, and fight alongside her.
This way, Mu Qing'er would have an easier time and wouldn't have to face formidable enemies alone.
With this thought, Xin Ci's resolve strengthened.
After finishing his cultivation, Xin Ci walked out of the cultivation room and headed towards the Pavilion of Scriptures.
He had not forgotten his primary purpose for becoming a disciple of the Slaughter Heart Sacred Court: to obtain the method for refining a physical body.
The Pavilion of Scriptures might hold some clues.
The method for refining a physical body was not a secret within the Slaughter Heart Sacred Court.
Mu Qing'er recalled that any of the Four Great Halls' Pavilions of Scriptures would contain this information.
Previously, when she and Xin Ci were collecting the three precious spiritual materials – Purple Crystal Jade Bone, Five Elements Spiritual Pill, and Immortal Golden Dragon Blood – they were all for refining a physical body.
It had to be said that the Pavilion of Scriptures of the Asura Hall was truly vast, like an endless sea of smoke.
At a glance, rows of bookshelves were intricately arranged, stretching out boundlessly.
Mu Qing'er's eyes almost blurred from looking.
This Pavilion of Scriptures was far more exaggerated than any large library she had ever visited, and she couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Fortunately, she was currently in a spiritual state and could pass through these bookshelves at will.
Otherwise, she would have already gotten lost in this boundless Pavilion of Scriptures.
It seemed that for Xin Ci to find the method for refining a physical body in this Pavilion of Scriptures would not be a simple task.
However, Xin Ci was quite patient, meticulously searching before the rows of bookshelves.
Mu Qing'er, also in her spiritual state, followed Xin Ci, constantly browsing the books on the shelves.
A faint blue light flickered in Xin Lun's pupils, and Mu Qing'er's spiritual form swept across the various bookshelves in the Pavilion of Scriptures.
After a long while, Mu Qing'er finally locked onto a bookshelf.
On that bookshelf was placed the method for refining a physical body.
A smile appeared on Mu Qing'er's lips, and she said to Xin Ci, "Xin Ci, I found it!"
Xin Ci turned his head at the sound, his face filled with surprise.
"Found it? Where?" Xin Ci asked eagerly.
Mu Qing'er raised her hand and pointed in that direction.
Xin Ci followed her gaze and walked to that bookshelf.
He saw that only a scroll was placed on this bookshelf, and its surface was covered with obscure characters.
The method for refining a physical body was extremely rare, and even the Slaughter Heart Sacred Court only possessed this one copy.
Seeing that scroll, Xin Ci's heart tightened.
Just as he reached out to touch it, a golden light suddenly surged from the scroll.
Xin Ci immediately felt something was wrong. Before he could withdraw his hand, he found that the scroll on the bookshelf had disappeared.
At the same time, a muffled bell chime echoed through the Pavilion of Scriptures, resonating throughout the entire hall like a warning.
Before he could react, a spiritual array suddenly rose from the ground, engulfing him and Mu Qing'er.
"What's going on?"
Xin Ci furrowed his brows, not understanding what had happened.
Mu Qing'er was also bewildered. When the original male lead took this scroll, nothing had happened.
What was this alarm-like bell chime?
"Which despicable thief? How dare you trespass into the Asura Hall's Pavilion of Scriptures!"
A woman, furious, rushed in.
Xin Ci and Mu Qing'er looked towards the sound and saw a woman in red, with a beautiful appearance.
However, her hair was a bit messy, her eyes were groggy, and there was still a trace of clear, glistening saliva at the corner of her mouth, looking like she had just woken up.
Upon seeing the woman's face clearly, both Xin Ci and Mu Qing'er felt a sense of familiarity.
The woman in red also recognized Xin Ci and immediately cried out in surprise.
"It's you! How are you here, you little brat?"
This woman was none other than Xue He, whom they had met in Feng Yu Lou in Youdu.
Xin Ci was stunned, then quickly reacted and asked her, "What's going on with the restriction on this bookshelf and this spiritual array?"
Xue He glanced at the token hanging from Xin Ci's waist, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
This little brat had actually passed the assessment and become a disciple of the Slaughter Heart Sacred Court, and had even joined the Asura Hall.
Xue He quickly understood Xin Ci's situation. It was likely that this junior sister had only recently become a disciple of the Slaughter Heart Sacred Court and was not yet aware of the rules of the Pavilion of Scriptures, which was why she was trapped in the spiritual array.
With this thought, Xue He revealed a malicious smile.
"This junior sister is truly pitiful, trapped in a spiritual array for not knowing the rules of the Pavilion of Scriptures. If you sweetly call me Sister Xue He, perhaps I might be in a good mood and save you!"
Her tone was laced with a hint of teasing, and she stood before Xin Ci, looking like she was enjoying the show.
Xue He thought to herself, "Finally, I have a chance to catch this little fellow. I must use this opportunity to vent my anger!"
Xin Ci felt a bad premonition as Xue He stared at him with a sly grin.
"Heh heh, junior sister, accept your senior sister's affection, hahaha..."
Xue He's eyes sparkled as she stared at Xin Ci, laughing exceptionally happily, raising her hands and approaching Xin Ci.
Mu Qing'er got goosebumps from Xue He's smile and couldn't help but transmit to Xin Ci, "This guy's smile is so lecherous."
Hearing this, Xin Ci also felt that this senior sister Xue He's smile was quite perverted, and he instinctively took a step back.
