"Of these 5 manuals, 3 are of heaven rank and 1 of divine rank, as for the last one…, better analyze these 4 first."
Although somewhat doubtful from the librarian's attitude, the boy looked at the cultivation manuals that he had on the table in front of him, the 3 sky rank manuals were inside information crystals, while the divine rank manual was inside a very old looking book.
Of the 3 sky rank manuals, each had a different elemental affinity, whether based on light, fire, or thunder, but the amazing thing about it was that it ensured the understanding of an intention at the martial master stage.
In addition, an advantage they had was that they would help him reach the cultivation stage where he would face his greatest tribulation, where he would shed his mortal aspect to enter divinity, although that situation is very distant, it was still useful to know that he would not have to worry about finding another manual in the future to continue advancing his cultivation.
As for the divine rank cultivation manual, it was even better, it would also take it up to the greater tribulation stage, but it was very suitable for someone with the dual affinity of fire and thunder, and apparently its creator also had this same one. double affinity, and its advantage was that it would help in the combination of the 2 damage, fire and thunder, giving an extra ability at a certain level of cultivation.
The boy took a deep breath when he read the old little book, putting aside his affinity for light, that manual seemed almost tailor-made for him, with that manual, his cultivation level would progress at a very fast speed, thus that he would have the security of facing his companions once he turns 5 years old and leaves this place.
At that moment, the child was invaded by happiness and he was about to choose that one, but suddenly his whole being shook and he stopped, calmed down and asked the librarian:
"Senior, I am almost certain that I will choose the divine rank manual, but I would still like to know what is the last manual that you did not mention."
Seeing the behavior of the child, the librarian was shocked, for a moment seeing the happiness of the child for the divine rank manual, he thought that he would not ask for the latest manual and quickly choose that one, who would wait for the child still manage to control himself and ask about the last one? so in the end the librarian just shook his head and replied to the child:
"It is not that I am hiding it on purpose, I told you that I will give you to choose the ones that are most suitable for you and that I will do, it is just that this manual is a bit special and does not belong to the Aegis family library, he found it my former partner has been so long ago that my memories of it are blurry."
Hearing about it, the boy was invaded by curiosity and wanted to ask about it, but seeing the expression of the librarian deep in thought, he put that thought aside and waited patiently for the librarian to come to himself.
Thus, the minutes passed until the librarian reacted, his expression looked somewhat sad, but he quickly recovered himself and said to the boy:
"Hahaha, sorry for that brat, the older you are, the more you sink into your memories of the exciting past, and apparently I am no exception, in short, the manual you ask for was found in one of the 7 zones Kunlun's forbidden, at that time my partner and I went into a ruin inside it, that time we barely got out alive and among what we found was this manual, the only problem is that it is incomplete, I only have half of the manual, so it can only be considered an incomplete sky rank manual, otherwise in its entirety it could well be an old rank."
"Ancient rank!"
The boy couldn't help but shout those words upon hearing the librarian, after all, throughout Kunlun, ancient rank manuals were so extremely rare that they were almost considered legend, there were only a few and they could be counted on the hands, and the powers that had them were so mysterious that they could walk around Kunlun without problems, even the Aegis family would have to receive them with respect, so the importance of these was evident, however here the librarian said that he had one, if the news of this spread, who knows what calamities could befall the librarian and the family?
Noticing the boy's concern, the old man only smiled before saying:
"Hey brat, stop worrying about something that I don't even care about, I've been here for so many years and no one has ever found out about it, so you can rest easy about it, besides, what could you do? Have you even cultivated and already have those worries? Don't be arrogant brat, even if the sky falls, there will already be someone to hold it, so here is a tip: Observe your present, analyze your past and fight for your future; the rest is trivial."
Hearing the old man, the boy was more than ashamed, although he did not understand everything the librarian wanted to say, even so, he decided to engrave his words in his heart.
"Excuse me senior, I suppose the fact of knowing about the old rank manual surprised me a lot, so my emotions got out of control."
"It is enough that you understand it boy, well, here is the manual, in my personal opinion, as incomplete as it is, I do not think it can be compared with the other manuals that I have offered you, but in the end the decision is yours, also remember, you only have a month, so don't bite off more than you can chew."
The child understood what the old man was referring to, after all, an ancient rank cultivation manual might sound very tempting, but understanding it and cultivating with it would be very difficult, so it would be better to go with the most suitable option.
"Senior, I have a request, could you leave the 2 manuals for me to review? I will still choose the divine rank manual, but I would like to see an old rank manual"
Hearing the child's request, the librarian shook his head helplessly, which is why he did not want to mention about the manual at first, he did not want the child to get distracted and choose the old rank manual just for having that rank, in Kunlun, there were many geniuses who were lost by the appeal of a cultivation technique or manual and instead of excelling, ended up falling out of favor, after all, even with sky rank cultivation manuals many geniuses still reached the top of Kunlun.
So, somewhat resigned, the librarian decided to comply with his selfish request.
"It's good brat, but since you're only going to observe it, I want you to return the manual to me tomorrow, also I hope you already have in mind the martial techniques that you are going to choose."
Hearing this, the boy laughed uproariously with joy, after all, even if he did not practice that manual, it would still be interesting to be able to read an old-range manual, and who knows, it may be useful in the future.
Without wasting any more time, the boy began to choose the martial techniques that best suited his style and what he had in mind to develop.
"Alright those would all be older, except for the old rank manual, where is it?"
Seeing the doubt on the boy's face, the old man only smiled mysteriously.
"Obviously I do not have it physically or in a crystal child, after all, I am only an artifact spirit, do you think I have my own room to hide my treasures? Come closer and place your hand on the table once more."
Hearing this, somewhat embarrassed, the boy placed his hand on the table just as the librarian told him, and waited patiently for what the librarian would do.
Suddenly, the child felt a sharp pain in his forehead, he felt that a lot of information came and was suddenly stored inside him, knowing that it must be the work of the old man, the child endured the pain hoping that it would end as quickly as possible.
And after what was an eternity for the boy, the pain suddenly stopped, and as soon as it stopped, the boy fell to his knees with cold sweat running down his face.
"Well brat, that would be it, don't forget to come back tomorrow to give me the information, now go to your room and don't bother me anymore."
Without waiting for the child's response, the voice and presence of the librarian disappeared, leaving the child in the library who was still recovering from the pain caused by the information that was now in his mind.
"*sigh*, I didn't expect that, a little longer and he would have realized my deception, luckily giving me the cultivation manual apparently weakened him a lot."
And saying this, the boy went to his room quickly.
Once in it, the boy sat in a corner of the room, although his head still hurt, a triumphant smile was seen on his face, his objective had been fulfilled and he even managed to obtain a rank manual old.
"Although the truth hurts me to have played that little trick on the librarian, without him I doubt that things would turn out as well as they did."
Actually, while trying to convince the librarian at the beginning, the boy realized something, that was that, for all who saw him, he was 3 years old, a 3-year-old boy who lived without knowing anything about his past or who They were his parents, isolated from everything and everyone, so his mental state as a 25-year-old was not adequate to face the librarian, therefore, as he did before in that dark and endless place, he sealed his memories and maturity which he had come to from his lived experiences, leaving only the fact that he was a 5-year-old boy who had his memories sealed by himself and what he had to do, thus, the way in which he dealt with the librarian suddenly changed. surprising him, making him realize that, after all, he was only 3 years old.
And in the end everything turned out as the boy wanted, with the exception that the sudden surge of information shook the seals in his mind that he had created in a hurry, returning him to his 25-year-old state of mind, which caught him off guard and, if the librarian he would have taken a closer look at his soul, possibly he would have realized who the boy really was, and in that case, his fate would be uncertain.
"Even though the boy you spoke to was definitely me, I still feel somewhat guilty for playing with your feelings like that, so if the opportunity is given, I will definitely return the favor in the future."
After a while, the boy put that thought aside and concentrated on the ancient rank cultivation manual that was in his mind.
"Well, the time has come to find out what makes you so special, besides that I don't have much time, so you better hurry."
And so, without wasting any more time, the boy began to delve into the cultivation manual and what he found surprised him to the core.
