The storyteller had high hopes for Su Zimo.
Of course, as the storyteller had said, he was a variable. There was still a long way for Su Zimo to grow to the point where all the Emperors in the world would submit to him.
But now, the situation on Tianhuang Mainland was changing rapidly.
Su Zimo did not have much time left.
As the storyteller spoke, he led everyone and entered Enigma Palace.
From the outside, they could not see the full view of Enigma Palace yet.
One could only truly experience the vicissitudes of time after entering the territory of Enigma Palaceâthe magnitude of emotions was not something that other sects and factions could compare to!
âMmm?â
Suddenly, the storyteller frowned and exclaimed softly. His gaze shifted and landed on an area of Enigma Palace.
Su Zimo looked over as well.
A gigantic palace stood in that area. It was a thousand feet tall and soared into the skies with nine levelsâeach level could accommodate more than a hundred thousand people!
A gigantic word was written on the plaque of the palaceâLibrary
âWhatâs wrong, old man?â
Lin Xuanji asked casually when he saw the odd expression on the storytellerâs face.
âAn outsider has been here,â
The storytellerâs expression darkened slightly and his words were shocking!
âAh?
Shocked, Lin Xuanji asked, âWhat do you mean? An outsider came to the library?â
There were many secret manuals and ancient books in the library.
The cultivation techniques and secret manuals were not the most importantâit was the history books!
The library was an important place for Enigma Palace and even the Palace Master of Enigma Palace could not enter casually!
What would happen if outsiders entered the library?!
âIâll go take a look!â
Lin Xuanji moved and said before running over.
âHe left a long time ago,â
The storyteller harrumphed coldly. âThe people in the palace are truly a bunch of useless fools. They were played like idiots and did not even know that an outsider came to the library!â
Su Zimoâs heart skipped a beat as he murmured, âCould it be him?â
The storyteller nodded slightly. âIf Iâm not wrong, the bloodlines outside Enigma Palace were also refined by this person.â
Monk Daming!
The final doubt in Su Zimoâs heart was finally resolved.
Initially, he had his doubts as to why Monk Daming would set up such a trap if he merely wanted to refine bloodlines.
Firstly, there were not many bloodlines left behind in this battle.
Secondly, it was truly not worth it for Monk Daming to come here and refine the bloodlines given the immense threat of Enigma Palace.
It was only now that Su Zimo understood.
Monk Daming set this trap for him to run in front of Enigma Palace and fight against the cultivators of Enigma Palace. His true goal was not to refine the bloodlinesâit was to get to Enigma Palaceâs library!
Now that he thought about it, Monk Daming should have refined the bloodlines in front of Enigma Palace casually after he came to the library.
If Heavenly Secrets did not use the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, he might have had a chance of surviving.
However, in the intense battle with Yan Beichen, an accident would definitely happen the moment he activated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!
Heavenly Secrets viewed Monk Daming as his greatest opponent.
However, right from the beginning, Monk Daming did not take Heavenly Secrets seriously at all. A casual action of his cost the life of the most outstanding successor of Enigma Palace!
âSenior, do you know who he is?â
Su Zimo asked in a testing manner.
âIâve divined it,â
The storyteller paused for a moment before shaking his head. âHowever, I couldnât divine him. He is extremely powerful.â
Ever since the storyteller appeared, he gave Su Zimo the feeling that he was omniscient, omnipotent and knew everything in the world.
However, even the storyteller could not divine Monk Damingâs identity!
Right now, Su Zimo was probably the only one who truly knew about Monk Daming.
He hesitated for a moment and did not reveal Monk Damingâs identity to the storyteller.
No matter what, Monk Daming had saved his life before.
Furthermore, even Su Zimo was not certain whether Monk Daming was truly evil right now.
âLetâs go to the library to check out whatâs missing,â
The storyteller said indifferently and led Su Zimo and the others to the front of the library.
He flicked his sleeves gently and the door to the hall opened.
On the ground at the entrance laid two figures that were tied up tightly and could not move at all.
The two of them seemed to have been cursed and could not speak. They could only stare at the storyteller with widened eyes.
âSenior Brother, Junior Brother, you guysâ¦â
Lin Xuanji froze for a moment.
The two of them were the other two disciples of the storyteller, Di Ji and Huang Ji.
âAlthough I know that itâs not great, for some reason, I just want to laugh! Hahaha!â
Lin Xuanji burst into laughter.
The two cultivators blushed in shame.
The storyteller extended his finger and swiped across their bodies through the void.
The ropes on both of them snapped instantly.
Both of them were at the Conjoint Body realm and a rope that could bind them was definitely an extraordinary item. But now, it was crippled by the storyteller!
The two of them stood up and ran to the storyteller before kneeling down.
âMaster, I deserve to die for failing to protect the library! Please punish me, master!â
Di Ji kowtowed repeatedly.
With an ashamed expression, Huang Ji whispered, âMaster, Iâve embarrassed you.â
Su Zimo lamented internally, âThe storytellerâs evaluation is truly not wrong. Di Ji has a stiff personality and obeys rules rigidly while Huang Ji looks to be kind and honest.â
âGet up, itâs not your fault,â
The storyteller did not have any intention of blaming them and continued asking, âDo you guys know what he did in the library?â
âI donât know,â
Huang Ji replied honestly, âHowever, that person did not stay in the library for long before leaving. He said that the reason why he came this time round was because he wanted to borrow the Mystic Firmament Record to take a look. Once he was done reading it, he would definitely return it and not spread it outside!â
The Mystic Firmament Record!
Su Zimo was secretly speechless.
That was the establishment foundation of Enigma Palace!
It was created by Fairy Ling Long and was all-encompassing, only completed after the Eternal Human Emperor perfected it.
To think that Monk Daming would steal it away today!
That was a huge fortune!
The storyteller did not enter the hall and merely closed his eyes to sense before nodding. âIndeed, he took away the Mystic Firmament Record.â
âI deserve to die! I deserve to die!â
Di Ji knelt down once more and kowtowed furiously. Although his forehead was filled with blood, he had no intention of stopping.
âSenior Brother, hurry and get up. Donât damage your brains,â
Lin Xuanji hurried forward and pulled Di Ji up forcefully.
âFufu,â
The storyteller suddenly laughed.
Both Di Ji and Huang Ji were confused and even wanted to dieâthey did not know how the storyteller could still smile.
âThatâs incredible,â
The storyteller praised, âTo think that he could come to Enigma Palace and steal the Mystic Firmament Record. Impressive, impressive.â
âMaster, why are you still praising him? The loss of the Mystic Firmament Record is a huge matter!â Huang Ji could not help but ask.
âForget it, let him be,â
The storyteller smiled suavely. âThat person is rather interesting. He merely said that heâs borrowing the book to read. Furthermore, he even promised that he would return it without spreading it..â
