God-Like Extraction

Panda Novel

“Well…”

Liang Yiqing faltered for a while.

“Yeah, what kind of map does it contain?” asked Han Zong, raising his eyebrows and grinning. “I want to know the answer to that as well.”

“Isn’t the True Energy for Beginners with Old Liang? He’d know best what the map looks like,” a Vice-President commented.

“Cough, cough.” Ma Shifeng cleared his throat and slowed down his pace. “Old Liang, show us the map. Even though we don’t expect to enter the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, it’s not a bad idea to look at the map first, even if it’s only a quarter.”

The others remained silent, their eyes fixed on Liang Yiqing.

“I want to see it too.”

Liang Yizhan was at a loss for words. Spreading his hands, he said, “What map? I don’t know how many people have touched or read the True Energy for Beginners, but did anyone find a map hidden inside? No! Not a single one! You can take a look if you don’t believe me.”

With that, he took out an ancient manual and threw it on the desk.

These ancient manuals were crafted from special materials, ensuring that their pages and covers could be stored for hundreds or thousands of years.

Therefore, even if the content inside was replicated from the original, it had already become an antique by now.

In the past, no one would say anything if he dropped it on the ground or on the table.

However, now that the matter involved the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, the group couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, afraid that the book might get damaged.

As soon as Liang Yizhan threw it on the table, Liu Jufen picked it up immediately. He carefully held it in his hands and leafed through it.

The others slowly shifted their gazes away with his actions.

Instantly, the office fell silent.

Liang Yiqing had already seen it, and was too lazy to bring it up again. The others were only hoping to discover a hidden map.

However, Liu Jufen had flipped through every page from beginning to end, but found nothing.

There wasn’t even a hint of abnormality, let alone any characters that were intentionally highlighted or annotated.

Unwilling to accept this, Liu Jufen released his true energy to envelop the book, but there were no hidden maps appearing either.

“Are you sure this is real?” Liu Jufen pressed, unwilling to give up.

Liang Yiqing shrugged. “I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know?” Liu Jufen questioned with the frown.

“Because this is the only copy of True Energy for Beginners in the library,” said Liang Yiqing, leaning back. “If this is the copy of True Energy for Beginners that was handed down from 400 years ago, then it’s real, and vice versa.”

“It should be real.” Ma Shifeng mused, “There are many ways to hide secrets in ancient books. If you want to crack it, you have to go in the right direction. If you don’t, it won’t show up even if you deplete all your true energy.”

“Well…” The dean frowned.” Does anyone know the direction? ”

“I don’t,” said Liang Yizhi, shaking his head. “In any case, I don’t know.”

“We can’t mess with such encryption methods. If we go in the wrong direction, the entire book will be destroyed,” Gu Shiyang warned in a low voice.

“What should we do then?” Han Zong glared. “If we can’t crack the secret, wouldn’t that give the outsiders even more of an excuse to come to the university?”

“That’s simple.”

Ma Shifeng smiled. “We don’t know the direction, and we don’t have the guts to crack it on our own. Let’s gather everyone who wants the map and decide together!”

“What?”

Everyone was taken aback by his words.

But soon, someone chuckled and nodded in agreement. “Good idea, President. Whether or not we can crack the secret in the end would have nothing to do with Xuantian!”

“That seems feasible.”

Gu Shiyang pondered and said, “In addition, we also have to provide the loaning records of these four ancient manuals over the centuries!”

“Agreed.”

“I support this!”

The others nodded in agreement.

Did Ma Shifeng and the others not want to enter the Mausoleum of Prince Qin?

No, anyone would want to!

The problem was that the news had already spread, and every major faction in the city had their eyes on Xuantian.

Every action of Ma Shifeng and company would attract the attention of those watching them in the dark.

It wasn’t realistic for them to try and take all of the treasures in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin for themselves.

This included the four ancient manuals. Only the True Energy for Beginners was in their possession. Even if Ma Shifeng and the others wanted to keep it for themselves, they wouldn’t be able to.

Rather than creating a mess in Xuantian, turning buildings into ruins, and killing countless teachers and students for the sake of a few ancient manuals, it would be better to make the matter public.

The same went for the loan records.

They would openly tell everyone they only had the True Energy for Beginners in their hands.

And they would openly decode it, regardless of the outcome, Xuantian would be able to leave the muddy waters.

At the very least, they could move the battlefield elsewhere.

They also had clear records that the two ancient books——Introduction To Pills and First Look At Spirit Weapons were no longer in Xuantian University.

Anyone who wanted to enter the Mausoleum of Prince Qin had better find these two ancient books first.

The only thing that was hard to explain was that the Simple Explanations of Array Formations that had just been taken away.

What a coincidence.

However, since it had already happened, Ma Shifeng and the others could only move with the situation.

…

Green Cloud Mountain Range.

In the valley where the big white goose was.

Whoosh!

A silvery-white glow was radiated from the big white goose’s body.

Su Jingxing, who was standing beside it, was feeling the changes in the ancient book with the Simple Explanations of Array Formations.

At first, there was no reaction.

However, gradually, Su Jingxing realized that the Simple Explanations of Array Formations was getting heavier.

Its weight was increasing!

At the same time, the surrounding worldly energy quickly converged, forming a small vortex around the Simple Explanations of Array Formations.

The more natural energy there was, the faster the vortex spun, and the heavier the Simple Explanations of Array Formations got.

That’s right, bathed in the big white goose’s glow, this ancient manual could actually absorb worldly energy and grow heavier.

Su Jingxing could clearly feel that as its weight increased, the aura on the Simple Explanations of Array Formations was intensifying.

As the aura grew stronger and stronger——

Swish!

A ray of golden light suddenly bloomed from the ancient book.

The Simple Explanations of Array Formations left his hand and floated in midair.

Swish! Swish!

The pages flipped automatically without wind.

Every time a page turned, a ray of light would shoot out and project itself into the empty air, three meters above the text.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As the rays of light increased, the area became brighter and brighter.

When all the pages were turned, the light rays projected into the air formed a map.

It was an image of Qinghe City’s ancient geography.

But it wasn’t complete. A big chunk was missing from the top and right side.

Simply put, it was only a quarter.

Even so, Su Jingxing was pleasantly surprised.

It’s real!

The map hidden in the Simple Explanations of Array Formations was real.

The map that detailed the location of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin had really been divided into four parts.

Thanks to the great white goose, Su Jingxing had unlocked the first copy.

A quarter of the map was projected into the air.

He wondered if he could take a photo?

Su Jingxing wasn’t slow in moving as he pondered. He immediately took out his phone and began snapping pictures of the light map in the air.

Click!

There was a loud click.

Su Jingxing went to his gallery to open the photo.

And…

There was nothing!
