Originally, Ye Cheng didn't plan to investigate, but this time, the black shadow's night intrusion finally aroused his curiosity.
Eunuch Li had said that there were three eunuchs in the library pavilion, but he had never seen the third one.
Eunuch Li also said that the back mountain of the library pavilion was a forbidden area, so he felt that the third eunuch was very likely to be hiding in the back mountain.
It was called the back mountain, but it was actually not big. It was just a small hill.
A stone door was embedded in the hill.
There were two words written on it.
Forbidden land.
"This is indeed a forbidden area."
Ye Cheng smiled and walked to the stone door.
He searched for a moment, and as he turned a stone lion head at the door, the stone door suddenly rumbled and slowly rose, revealing the cave behind it.
It was pitch black inside.
However, Ye Cheng was a bold person with great skills and did not stop there. He then slowly walked in.
As a Xiantian seventh grade expert, Ye Cheng could see in the dark, so it was not a big deal to enter the passageway.
The tunnel was straight, but it faced downwards.
As they walked down the stairs, the sound of their footsteps was very clear in the darkness.
Finally, it reached the bottom.
It was a medium-sized underground palace.
However, the air inside was fresh and there was no suffocating feeling.
It was obvious that this underground palace had a special ventilation hole.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng's gaze fell on a stone bed under the stone wall opposite the underground palace.
There was a person sitting cross-legged.
He was as skinny as a bone, without any aura.
From the clothes on his body, it was obvious that it was a eunuch's uniform, and the color was actually bright yellow.
Ye Cheng was shocked.
The bright yellow eunuch uniform was definitely a top eunuch among top eunuchs. Only those who had received the favor of the Great Qian Emperor were qualified to wear it.
"This, this is the third eunuch of the library pavilion that Eunuch Li mentioned?”
Ye Cheng frowned.
It was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.
With his Xiantian seventh grade perception, if it was a fake death, it was impossible for him to be deceived.
Ye Cheng walked over. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the stone wall. There were some words carved on it, and they were faintly emitting a terrifying sword intent.
"I've touched the barrier between Heaven and Man, but because of my incomplete body, I have no hope of becoming a Saint.”
"I entered the palace at the age of 12, followed Eunuch Hai to practice martial arts at the age of 13, entered the Connate Realm at the age of 23, and became the number one expert in the inner palace of the Great Qian Dynasty at the age of 39. By the time I was 50, I defeated the Green Robe Ancestor of Mount Shu, the Sect Master of Fire Worship, the Old Monster of Xingxiu, the Master of the Carefree Path, and the Saber King of the Southern Mountain. I established a great reputation for the Great Qian Dynasty. His Majesty conferred me the title of Eunuch King, and I guarded the palace. No one dared to disobey me. When I was 72 years old, I felt that my life had reached its strongest point." Thus, I chose to enter seclusion and break through to the Martial Saint Realm. I didn't make any progress for ten years. I searched for the reason and finally found it.”
"How unfair the heavens are!"
"Hahahaha, Lin Xi's last words.”
.....
Ye Cheng fell silent.
In these words that carried terrifying sword intent, he seemed to feel the sadness and unwillingness in the heart of this eunuch called Lin Xi.
Because he was a eunuch, his body was crippled and he couldn't break through the barrier to become a Martial Saint. In the end, he died.
"This, this is the path I want to take?”
Suddenly, Ye Cheng shuddered.
Because he was also a eunuch.
He was already at Xiantian seventh stage. In another year, he would be able to reach Xiantian ninth stage and break through to the Martial Saint Realm.
If a person with an incomplete body really couldn't break through, wouldn't he be stuck here forever?
No.
Never.
His goal was to reach the supreme realm of martial arts. How could he stop halfway?
"No, no, if I can't break through to the Martial Saint Realm with my incomplete body, why does Sunflower Manual have four levels?”
Ye Cheng suddenly had a thought.
The third level of the Sunflower Manual clearly corresponded to the Martial Saint Realm.
Not to mention the fourth level.
Unfortunately, he hadn't touched the barrier between Heaven and man, so he didn't know what was going on.
"Besides, I have the check-in system. I definitely won't be as unlucky as Lin Xi.”
Ye Cheng's expression became extremely determined.
He no longer felt depressed.
"By the way, can I sign in here?”
Ye Cheng was moved.
This was the place where Lin Xi was in seclusion. Perhaps there was a special reward for signing in.
Most of the sign-ins in the library pavilion were mainly medicinal pills. It was very difficult to find good things.
This underground palace at the back of the mountain shouldn't be within the scope of the library pavilion, right?
Coincidentally, he hadn't used his chance to sign in today, so Ye Cheng signed in without hesitation.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. The reward is a 'Heaven Mending True Body.'”
The system notification sounded.
Ye Cheng quickly checked the description of the Heaven Mending True Body.
"F * ck, this is completely tailor-made for me.”
No matter how calm Ye Cheng was, he couldn't help but get excited.
This was because the Heaven Mending True Body could regenerate flesh and blood when cultivated to a certain extent.
Even if it was a broken arm or a broken root, it could be recovered in the future.
Of course, it was impossible for him to reach this level in a short period of time. In other words, he could only be a eunuch for a certain period of time.
However, he did not mind.
So be it.
It had been a few years, and he had gotten used to it.
What made him happiest was that after cultivating the Heaven Mending True Body, he could absorb the Yang Qi from heaven and earth to nourish himself. From there, he could perfect his martial foundation and break through the barrier between Heaven and man, breaking through to the level of Martial Saint. There would be no more obstacles.
"Awesome. I didn't come to the Heaven and Earth Palace in vain this time.”
Ye Cheng smiled.
Then, he said to Lin Xi's corpse,"Senior, let me complete the goal you haven't completed. I will let the world know that even those with physical injuries can reach the peak of martial arts.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
As for Lin Xi's corpse, he didn't touch it, nor did he plan to bury it.
This was because this underground palace was the best tomb.
After walking out of the underground palace, Ye Cheng directly destroyed the stone carving mechanism. This way, he would not be able to open the stone door and enter the underground palace, disturbing Lin Xi's rest.
