Transcending Dreams

B2 - Chapter 60

He had greatly underestimated the distance between the information station and section J-7. It was the maps fault, really. It made the floor layout seem relatively small, but the actual size was mind-boggling.

Most things in the cultivation world were, but this was different.

William hadnt circled the library's exterior to get an exact measurement of how large the building was, but the view he had gotten was enough to get a vague idea of the size.

The interior beat even his largest estimate. It was literally impossible for it to be so large.

His destination was Section J-7. The sections were designated by letters, and each letter was followed by a number from zero to nine. That meant there were two hundred and sixty sections in the library.

That by itself wasnt shocking. However, it was hard to fathom when factoring in the size of each section.

William nodded at a disciple passing him, a rare occurrence, as he finally passed Section I-9. It was the size of a small city block, and there were two hundred and sixty of them. So yes, something was done to the interior of the building to fit all of this in here. Without that being the case, the library would likely occupy most of the common grounds.

He thought the library in the Outer Court was enormous. It was nothing compared to this monstrosity.

William passed by Section J-6, where he surprisingly saw another disciple. With how massive the library was, some sections were more popular than others, and those were where disciples usually congregated. He expected to be alone with all of Section J entirely focused on eggs. That was obviously proven wrong by the girl browsing through the section catalog.

She must have seen him in the corner of her eye since she lifted her head to glance at him before returning to her browsing. She was clearly not interested in interacting. That was fine with him.

William stepped into Section J-7. Well, the first row of books in the section. Fifty rows later, he reached the center, where the catalog was placed on a podium.

As was typical, a blank slate was beside the empty-paged catalog. He placed his pass on the slate, causing it to glow a dull white.

Text appeared on the previously empty page. He scanned it and flipped to the next page, seeing more of the same. An endless list of titles in a seemingly random order. Finding anything he needed in the chaos would take far too long to be reasonable.

William glanced to his left, wondering if he should ask the girl. She had just walked out of one of the rows with a thick book in her hands.

He decided to take that course of action after trying something. The Qi refining room in the auction house reacted to voice commands. The same could be true here.

Show me five books that tell me how to care for a mid-tier or high-tier spirit beast egg, William said quietly.

His excitement rose when the mass of text disappeared, leaving only five lines on the page he was looking at.

William blinked, making sure that he was reading it right.

He was.

It suddenly made sense why this library was so massive. Of how there could be rows and rows of books just on the topic of eggs. There was some actual nonsense held by the library.

How to Hatch a Mid-Tier Spirit Beast Egg in 10 Easy Steps sounded like a scam to him. The following two titles held some potential, and the last two had to be jokes.

How I Accidentally Hatched a High-Tier Spirit Beast Egg and Became the Strongest Cultivator had to be a fictional book. Accidentally hatching a spirit beast egg wasnt out of the realm, but calling oneself the strongest cultivator had to be some sort of taboo.

The last title wasnt worth looking at or maybe it was. William had no intention of making an omelet from his precious egg, but there was nothing to say there wouldnt be an opportunity to do so in the future.

Before William decided about the books he wanted, he narrowed the search to hopefully give him better options.

Show me only informational or instructional books. Remove all fiction and biographies.

That command was a little redundant but better to be thorough.

Only two of those were new results. Of the older ones, only Secrets of the High-Tier Spirit Beast Eggs wasnt a shock when it reappeared.He supposed that cooking spirit beast eggs might be a valid option. More surprisingly, How I Accidentally Hatched a High-Spirit Beast Egg and Became the Strongest Cultivator was still an option the catalog showed him.

He only asked to remove biographies since he didnt want someone else's bias in his reading. This was probably considered an autobiography. Still, he was shocked it wasnt fiction.

William didnt take long to decide which books he wanted to take from the shelves.

Where are these books located?

Two numbers separated by a dash appeared next to each title. The number on the left was far smaller than the one on the right.

He memorized them and glanced at the row closest to him, seeing a number at the top. A look at the books on the rows shelves revealed that each book had a corresponding number labeled below on the shelf.

William was not a fan of studying back on Earth, which meant minimal time spent in any library. Still, he had to admit he was impressed. This level of organization for this city-sized library was amazing.

He noticed the girl in the other section wander back into the rows, likely to get another book. Very studious.

William decided to follow her example. There was time to marvel at how the library functioned later. He only had around an hour until Lan Yang and Su Rou would return.

He walked into the first of the rows with one of the books he wanted, or rather, he tried to. He froze in fear when a heavy pressure fell on him. It warned him that moving closer was a terrible idea, and it was proven when the pressure fell off when he stepped back.

William saw movement in the corner of his eye. He turned to see the girl smirking at him from her seat. When she saw him looking, she held up her pass and shook it.

Of course. He smiled at her sheepishly before picking up his pass from the podium. There were no issues entering the section after that.

This should be something Lan Yang should have known to tell him. Then again, it was more than obvious now that he was expected to figure out most things on his own. Either that or Lan Yang was just a terrible mentor.

Even if that was true, William excused it. The man was the reason he owned the [Heavenly Thunder Scripture]. Lan Yang could be the most uninterested mentor, and he would be okay with it.

His eyes lit up when he located the first book. Four more to go.
