Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 112: Chapter 39 Sacred Land Scripture Depository _1

Translator: 549690339

“Is this enough to complete the Scripture Depository?”

Shen Yuan stared at the packed, downloadable documents on his computer screen, overwhelmed by a surreal feeling.

Even though he knew he could take shortcuts in building a Scripture Depository, Shen Yuan initially planned only to print these files and create a mini-pavilion to house thousands of cultivation classics, just to meet the requirement.

But currently, all he had to do was download these virtual documents — no physical materials required to solve the biggest problem in his main mission. Shen Yuan couldn’t help but retort:

“What’s going on? I can create an electronic scripture depository just by compiling a few virtual files?

Wouldn’t they call it a blessed land if I made a cultivation encyclopedia website?”

“It’s quite rare for the Artificial Intelligence System to be so progressive in its judgment.”

While Shen Yuan was grumbling, several instructions about the requirements of the sect Scripture Depository sprang up on his Artificial Intelligence System’s interface.

System: Building a sect Scripture Depository requires at least a thousand cultivation classics, including types such as Methods, Spells, Cultivation Craftsmanship, and Spirit Objects Illustrated Guide.

System: The Scripture Depository is not concerned with the form of the cultivation classics. Whether it’s books, scrolls, Jade Strips of Divine Consciousness, golden papers, or silver chapters. As long as the content of the classics meets the requirements and is stored inside a building, it is considered the construction of a sect Scripture Depository.

Shen Yuan glanced at the packed documents on his computer screen. In a way, his computer was similar to Jade Strips of Divine Consciousness, both mediums holding the information of cultivation classics.

But in his cultivation world, there probably wasn’t any single Jade Strip of Divine Consciousness capable of storing thousands of classics.

Subsequently, Shen Yuan reflexively looked around his room. Though it wasn’t luxurious, it indeed met the requirements for a Scripture Depository.

The reality hit Shen Yuan: his ability to build an Electronic Scripture Depository wasn’t due to progressive judgement by the Artificial Intelligence System. Rather, it was due to its exceedingly rigid one.

With a wry smile, Shen Yuan silently remarked,

“Indeed… the Artificial Intelligence System hasn’t changed one bit.”

Despite the unexpected circumstances, Shen Yuan considered it a boon. Having an Electronic Scripture Depository would save him from a lot of hassle.

“Construct a sect Scripture Depository.”

He immediately made his choice.

The next moment, new messages popped up on the system’s interface.

System: Detected Sect-suppressing Secret Tome class Methods among the cultivation classics owned by the host, hence revealing different Scripture Depository levels.

Bottom-tier Scripture Depository: Requires a thousand cultivation classics and satisfies basic conditions to construct.

Mid-tier Scripture Depository: Requires three thousand cultivation classics and one Sect-suppressing Secret Tome. (Rewards a Spirit Awakening Enlightenment Array Formation, slightly improving cultivation realm comprehension.)

Top-tier Scripture Depository: Requires five thousand cultivation classics and three Sect-suppressing Secret Tomes. (Rewards an Enlightenment Array for Clear Understanding, moderately improving cultivation realm comprehension.)

Sacred Land Scripture Depository: Requires ten thousand cultivation classics and ten Sect-suppressing Secret Tomes. (Rewards a Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation, significantly improving cultivation realm comprehension.)

System: Presently, the host has 3,036 cultivation classics and 5

Sect-suppressing Secret Tomes. You qualify for a Mid-tier Scripture Depository, do you confirm your construction?

Reading the barrage of information before him, Shen Yuan was dumbfounded.

The Electronic Scripture Depository was unexpected enough, never mind the levels! Moreover, activating different depository levels depended on the number of cultivation classics and Sect-suppressing Secret Tomes.

Currently, Shen Yuan lacked many things except for the bait-cultivation classics from the major sects.

The classics on the Cultivation Forum were still downloading, which meant they had a lot of room for improvement. Thus, Shen Yuan immediately chose to cancel.

He decided to download all the cultivation classics first, ensure that he could receive the Sacred Land Scripture Depository reward before he begins construction.

Seizing this opportunity, Shen Yuan attempted to find more detailed information about the Enlightenment Array Formation on the forum.

The moment he started his search, related information popped up on his computer screen.

After a quick skim, Shen Yuan had a decent grasp of the Enlightenment Array Formation.

The Enlightenment Array Formation is a special type of formation. The most fundamental Spirit Awakening Enlightenment Array Formation is only Class 3 and has no offensive potential.

However, constructing the Enlightenment Array Formation requires numerous precious Class 4, even Class 5, spirit objects. Thus, only large sects afford to build it.

The Spirit Awakening Enlightenment Array Formation is usually used in the closed-door cultivation caves within sects. It accelerates the comprehension of Divine Skills, Spells, and Cultivation Classics for those within, and some rumors even claim it increases the chance for cultivation realm breakthrough.

Of course, the latter point needs further confirmation. However, the Enlightenment Array Formation itself does have its remarkable features.

The formations deployed within the sect are only the simplest Spirit Awakening Enlightenment Array Formations. Higher-level formations exist, such as the Enlightenment Array for Clear Understanding and the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation.

According to unverified information on the forum, the highest-level Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation not only speeds up comprehension of Divine Skills and Spells but also increases the chance of achieving epiphany.

Upon reading this, Shen Yuan realized he had to obtain this Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation.

An epiphany is a sudden flash of insight experienced by cultivators, significantly improving the effectiveness of their comprehended Divine Skills and Spells.

Shen Yuan experienced this once when he first opened up his storage space using Pot’s Heaven Divine Power.

It was that flash of insight which allowed Shen Yuan’s Pot’s Heaven Divine Power to advance. His ordinary courtyard transformed into an independent space, which served as the foundation for its upgrade into a Secret Realm.

It was precisely because Shen Yuan had experienced it firsthand that he understood how precious moments of epiphany really are.

The Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation, capable of increasing chances of a sudden enlightenment, was not ordinary in any sense of the word. If he missed out this time, there may not be another opportunity.

Happy and surprised, Shen Yuan also wondered why seizing the Natural Spirit Pool didn’t trigger similar rewards.

Contrarily, constructing a scripture depository of various levels, invoked rewards of precious Array Formations for enlightenment.

After pondering for a short while, an intriguing possibility flashed across Shen Yuan’s mind.

“Maybe this has something to do with the Cult-suppression Secret Tomes?”

“During the booming cultivation era many millennia ago, when the population was at its peak, the major sects and sacred lands weren’t lacking in talents.

However, the control over the Cult-suppression Secret Tomes within each sect was extremely strict, and it was impossible for them to disclose them proactively to find suitable talents after all those millennia.”

“Thousands of years ago, to obtain a Cult-suppression Secret Tome would definitely entail a huge battle capable of ravaging an entire sect, only then could they be stolen by force.”

“Under such circumstances, each Cult-suppression Secret Tome built into the scripture depository was extremely precious, let alone the requirement of ten tomes for the Sacred Land Scripture Depository.”

“Even though there may be more than one Cult-suppression Secret Tome within a sect, achieving this feat usually necessitates the conquest of several major sects in order to successfully build the Sacred Land Scripture Depository.”

“The difficulty of this, might not be inferior to the suppression of the River Ji Dragon Palace.”

“Under these implicit prerequisites, the reward of Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation becomes far more plausible.”

Understanding the key point, an odd expression appeared on Shen Yuan’s face.

Perhaps, those people from thousands of years ago could never imagine that the long period of Spirit Energy depletion had eventually forced these high and mighty hidden sects to lower their arrogant heads and voluntarily disclose some of the Cult-suppression Secret Tomes.

If this was thousands of years ago, even this semi-publicized tomes lacking the core cultivation methods could have driven countless people crazy.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

“Time is truly the world’s most unfathomable divine skill.”

Just as Shen Yuan was sighing wistfully, a red light on the computer monitor caught Shen Yuan’s attention.

Looking in the direction of the red light, Shen Yuan noticed that all the documents he had been downloading in bulk had been paused, and a string of clear red characters appeared on the forum interface.

“Penalty for prohibited operations deducted 3681 points, some functions have now been restricted!”

Simultaneously, far away in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the Imperial Capital, Xu Di, the official in charge of managing the enlightenment forum, couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly at the prompt on the back stage.

“I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen these guys end up with negative points since we started the member invitation system.”

“He just logged onto the forum and started downloading those cultivation texts in bulk. Doesn’t he bother to check the contents of the texts?”

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the Hidden Sects were uploading numerous cultivation texts in collaboration, and it’s certainly not for charity’s sake.

Their purpose was to use these cultivation texts to attract excellent talents and strengthen their bases.

If it wasn’t for this purpose, even the Cult-suppression Secret Tomes, lacking essential cultivation methods, wouldn’t be made available for everyone to watch and distribute at will.

In order to prevent random thefts of cultivation texts, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and the Hidden Sects naturally established countermeasures within the forum.

For instance, if you only viewed a cultivation text on the forum, there wouldn’t be any problem. Even downloading a small amount was still within the allowed range.

However, if the amount downloaded was excessive, it would trigger the forum’s feedback mechanism, and a point would be deducted for each text.

Though the deduction of 1 point seems insignificant, answering a question on cultivation would only reward the user with 1 point as well.

Due to the openly fought and subtle battles between the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the sects, half of the points earned from answering questions ended up in their hands, leaving others with pathetically few points.

In such circumstances, if one is being careless and ends up with negative points, they would be severely restricted within the enlightenment forum.

One would not be able to download any text until the debt is paid off. If their points are in the negative, they can’t ask questions actively and can only earn points by answering questions.

Xu Di could clearly see that the account named Falling Clouds was already indebted by more than three thousand points.

If it wasn’t for the backstage limiting his downloads in time, he would probably be owing far more points.

“Tsk, tsk! The forum points can actually be directly sold on the black market, and with yesterday’s black market prices, three thousand points could already be enough to exchange for two magical treasures.”

Besides, converting points into cash is typically easier said than done. This account called Falling Clouds might never be able to make up these three thousand points till his last breath.”

Looking at the account named Falling Clouds, Xu Di’s eyes held a glint of sympathy. In his opinion, this account was most certainly ruined.

“I wonder which unfortunate soul invited this guy.”

“Member accounts can collect one percent of points accumulated by invited accounts, but the debts of the invited accounts also affect member accounts.”

“Over thirty points. It may take a long time to make up for them.”

However, Xu Di had seen instances like these countless times before, so he just gloated briefly and didn’t pay it any more attention..
