Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, upon seeing the densely packed bookshelves on the three sides of the wall before her, Gu Jin’s eyes appeared a little lost.

Did she have to find the Phoenix Spirit Artifice from the thousands of densely packed books there?

It was a massive undertaking, and thinking about it alone gave her a headache.

Just as Gu Jin was at a loss with regard to the Phoenix Spirit Artifice, a thick, heavy book flew out of the bookshelf at the central wall.

It flew without any wind behind it as if it had consciously flown up to Gu Jin.

The scene made Gu Jin flabbergasted for a moment, especially when she saw the words “Phoenix Spirit Artifice” on its cover.

She reached out mechanically and took the floating book.

Once the book was in her hand, a few golden rays of light shone out of the book and quickly rushed into Gu Jin’s beautiful eyes.

Gu Jin lost control as she held on to the Phoenix Spirit Artifice. Sitting in place, she absorbed the cultivation techniques that the Phoenix Spirit Artifice tome was consciously imparting in her.

Her eyes were shut, and she did not see the strands of spiritual qi flocking into her body from behind, permeating into her being and washing it through.

The spiritual qi in the dimension surrounded Gu Jin, and her body emanated a radiant white light, giving off an aura of sacred, inviolable holiness.

Time slowly passed.

The moment Gu Jin opened her eyes, fine broken light flashed past her eyes. There was a different spirit in her eyes, which had been washed over by the spiritual qi.

Right as she opened her beautiful eyes again, they flickered with surprised joy.

Gu Jin was very happy. She never thought that just by sitting and meditating, she had directed cultivated to the sixth level of qi.

Once she broke through to the ninth level, she could possibly reach the state of Zuji, which was really a surprise to her.

Gu Jin knew that the reason she was able to reach the sixth level was due to the dimension’s help.

As for reaching Zuji, she did not dare to think about it for the time being. Moving from the eighth to the ninth level of qi cultivation was already very difficult, much less reaching the state of Zuji.

Gu Jin stood up and looked at the Phoenix Spirit Artifice in her hand. She had already received all of the cultivation techniques in the book, and she could somewhat recall the entire book’s contents without needing to refer to it.

She walked into the room and placed the tome back on the bookshelf. Then, she looked through some other books and only left after she did not find anything that interested her.

Before she left, she closed the door and swept her gaze across the bamboo bed in the study.

She had no idea if she was seeing things, but she felt as though a red-robed beauty was lying there.

At first, there was only a general silhouette, but when she gave it a proper look, there was nothing.

Gu Jin closed the door and gazed deeply at the stream that was flowing down the mountains before she disappeared.

Gu Jin, who had left the dimension, did not know that the beauty on the bamboo bed earlier was not her imagination.

A shred of the divine soul that belonged to the previous dimension’s owner was there. However, she had waited there for too long and could not maintain her form. Upon seeing the dimension passed on, her wish was fulfilled, and her divine soul gradually dissipated.

When Gu Jin returned to her room, it was still dark all around.

Perhaps, the breakthrough in the dimension had worn her out, and she slept the moment her head touched the bed.

The sound of chickens outside woke her up again later on.

Gu Jin frowned slightly as she opened her eyes with flowing light within.

What entered her vision was a young sweet child who was sleeping soundly.

Looking at An Mingji’s swollen face, a trace of gentleness appeared in Gu Jin’s eyes.

She slowly sat down as she put on her coat and trousers. Then she carefully walked past the sleeping individual and left with a ceramic basin as well as a towel.

Chen Hong had already gotten up to make breakfast, and when she saw Gu Jin walking out of her room, she wore a dour expression.
