On the 1st floor, Cultivation Manual Area, Arcana Library:

While his wives and children were in the entertainment section, Maximus came here to choose a cultivation technique.

In the Arcana library, all knowledge ranges from tier 0 to tier 6 are free, no matter the identity.

This allowed the widespread dissemination of knowledge across the entire domain.

Of course, not all type of knowledge is free.

Cultivation manuals, blueprints, and recipes have patents that you need to pay for.

Otherwise, there would be no creativity, as people could simply copy what the predecessors did.

"Let's see," Maximus slowly walked alongside a wide selection of exercises that extended like infinity.

The Arcana library uses an advanced space folding array, making this gigantic building have a world of its own inside.

As the books are only tier 0, there are no special shielding runes that block spirit consciousness from accessing them.

So, after a few hours of scanning all the cultivation manuals, he sat down.

[1.8 billion tier 0 Cultivation Manual: Initial 0/180 billion]

He could only sigh at the vast inheritance of the Arcana Library.

Of course, not all these cultivation manuals lead directly to tier 9.

If he had enough life points, he could certainly study all of them to Transcendent mastery and create his own cultivation manual.

Fortunately, it's not possible for now.

He then added some life points to get some insight into them immediately.

[1 Lp = +100,000]

"Ah?" After adding a life point, Maximus was dazzled by the added points.

To confirm his hypothesis, he took out a book at random.

[Fire Body Cultivation Manual (Tier 0): Initial (1/100)]

After 10 minutes of reading...

[Fire Body Cultivation Manual (Tier 0): Perfect (150/400)]

"This should be the effect of the Building," Maximus murmured as he concluded.

After trying a bunch more, he came to the conclusion that studying here would yield twice the result compared to normal.

"I don't know if the effect is better above," Maximus thought as he looked above.

Maximus didn't bother anymore and tapped on his system.

[18,000 LP = 1 billion]

[1.8 billion tier 0 Cultivation Manual: Initial 18 billion/180 billion]

A vast amount of knowledge about various cultivation manuals came to his mind.

Using life points, he roughly knew what these cultivation manuals were about without wasting time.

After all, if he read them one by one to choose, he didn't know when he would finish.

Out of these more than a billion cultivation manuals, only about a thousand could reach tier 9 directly.

Of course, those who created these were already at tier 9, so following their path was useless.

"That's it," Maximus could only choose tier 8 manuals.

As for why tier 9 manuals are even here if it's useless?

It's for future reference for those who need to advance to tier 9.

Out of all of these, he took a fancy to Gaia's Primal Genesis.

[Gaia's Primal Genesis: Incorporating all of the world's elements, nourishing the sapling of a world tree. At its peak, it can create its own world.]

Just seeing that it uses all the elements and is capable of creating its own world got him excited.

This cultivation manual is for both soul and body, so it's only what he needed.

Although it's an awesome technique, it has a severe shortcoming, that is time.

To nourish the world tree sapling, you not only need all the elements, but you also need time.

This is also why no one has succeeded so far after all, only tier 9 life is infinite.

It is written that the world tree sapling had gone through at least 3 people but all of them failed and died of old age.

"Heh, not for me," Maximus smiled at the warning.

For him, with life points, it's a piece of cake.

However, the only problem now is to rack up credit points to exchange the world tree sapling.

After getting a copy of Gaia's Primal Genesis, he went to the Athercore of the library.

After all, the cultivation manuals are only tier 0.

If he wants the following tiers, he can either find them on each floor or go to the Athercore to get them all together.

...

On the First Floor, Center of the Library, Athercore:

There were a lot of people like him who also wanted to get an entire copy of the book.

After a few minutes of waiting in line, it was finally his turn.

[Please insert your token]

Maximus took out his token and inserted it.

[Reading...

Official Student:

Credits: 977,838]

[Insert the book name...]

Maximus typed the name of the cultivation manual.

[Gaia's Primal Genesis (Whole Book): 100,000,000 Credits]

Looking at the price, he sighed and filtered the selection.

[Gaia's Primal Genesis (Tier 0-Tier 6): 500,000 Credits]

After clicking "enter," the book in his hand suddenly vibrated and became bigger and thicker.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Meanwhile, on the shelf from which he got it, another identical copy of the tier 0 book suddenly materialized.

"This should be made of Void Gold Metal," Maximus muttered, looking at the shapeshifting book in his hands.

...

In the Entertainment Area:

Maximus' wives and kids were absorbed in their own world, reading some exciting books.

"Hmm, that's right, monkey, you need to be like this..." Max said as he educated his monkey beast pet.

"Chee-Chee-" The monkey jumped up and down as if agreeing.

They were reading, or should I say watching, a story of a golden monkey who defied all odds and became a monkey god.

Of course, it's a fantasy story, but having made it to the Arcane Library proved that it was an all-time best fantasy story in a generation.

And here in the entertainment section of the library, there were almost infinite amounts of them.

As for why keep it here and waste space in the library?

Because these stories have unconstrained ideas, serving as inspiration for anyone.

(Author: I would like to spend my life here...)

As they were watching the story, a little girl came to disturb their peace.

"Hey, little brat!" A little girl the size of Max yelled.

"Hmm? What, brat?" Max was still in a daze as he looked at the little girl.

"I want that book," the little girl said calmly.

"No," Max didn't bother and continued to watch.

"Hey, I'm talking to you," the little girl repeated.

"What?" Max looked at her again, annoyed.

"I want that book," she repeated.

"I said no. Do you have hearing difficulties?" Max looked at her like a retard.

Seeing Max look at her like this made the little girl change her face.

She, the little princess of the Celestine Family, the granddaughter of a tier 9 Apex sovereign, was brutally rejected.

"What's even your name, anyway?"

Max, seeing the little girl still didn't leave and looked at him like she was about to cry. He sighed and asked.

"I-I'm Ella," the little girl held back her tears and said.

"Oh, then why don't we watch together?" Max said.

If he made this little girl cry, her brother Liam would beat him to pieces.

...

After getting the book, Maximus hurriedly went to the entertainment area where his family was.

Seeing that they were busy, he didn't bother to greet them as he opened the book.

[Gaia's Primal Genesis (Tier 0 - Tier 6): Initial (1/6 Billion)]

First, he took a look at his points.

[Life Points: 1,004,098

Potential Points: 24,767,417]

Seeing that he had enough points, he first upgraded his mana compatibility.

[Mana Compatibility: Divine (0/10 million)]

[+10 million Potential Points]

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm [Mana Compatibility: Transcendent (0/100 million)]

Suddenly, as if the shackles in his body were gone, he could feel the world more clearly, as if he was blind previously.

Going from rank 6 to rank 7 was a leap from middle-rank talent to upper-rank talent.

Mana Compatibility didn't just mean your affinity to mana, but also your affinity to the world.

Previously, he estimated that it would take a few years to reach tier 4, but now he could reach it in one or two years.

Satisfied, he came back to the cultivation manual and added life points.

[+986,667 Life points]

[Gaia's Primal Genesis (Tier 0 - Tier 6): Transcendent (Max)]

A torrent of knowledge emerged, him studying day and night for 2,703 years through the cultivation manual.

(The reason it took such a long time is because life points can directly upgrade any skill/knowledge to Transcendent Mastery)

"Huff," Maximus breathed heavily.

He nearly drowned himself from accepting the memories, as it was done in one go, not like going into a time chamber where you study by yourself.

"Let's take a break for a while," Maximus muttered.

While digesting the memory, he figured he could read some stories to pass the time.

Anyway, with his powerful consciousness, it wasn't a problem.

Just as he got up to get a book, he noticed Max with a little girl whom he did not know.

Furthermore, there was a beautiful miss with glasses talking to them.

...

After watching the story with Ella, they became closer, and he came to know that she also had a monkey beast pet.

"Your monkey is weird," Max said as he looked at her pet with purple skin and glittering eyes like stars.

"No, it's beautiful, not weird," Ella said with a pout.

"Eh, you should be like my monkey, domineering," Max bragged, puffing up his chest.

"Domineeringly stupid," Ella rolled her eyes.

Just as they were chattering while watching the story, a beautiful oneechan came to them.

"There you are, Ella!"
