What troubled Lin Dong and others was that, as the Spirit Seal book erupted with intense light, it really did explode.
Fortunately, after the explosion, the Spirit Seal book only changed back to its most primitive page form. It did not disappear but rather returned to the page itself.
The crucial part was that after returning to the page form, this single page seemed to resonate with other pages.
Lin Dong was familiar with such a scene. Four months ago, after Su Wen completed the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge creation work in other cities within the Heaven Dou Empire, he returned to Heaven Dou City, and a similar situation occurred when upgrading the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge there.
At that time, the resonance among the thirty-six Study Hall pages combined and formed the Spirit Seal book.
Now, as the Spirit Seal book returned to its page form, it appeared to have entered a state similar to the original resonance among the thirty-six pages.
Which pages is it resonating with now?
Lin Dong sent other members of the Supervision Peak to check the situation at the thirty-six Study Halls and found that the pages there had also reappeared, resonating with the Knowledge Hall pages, but it seemed more like an enhancement.
Lin Dong had a guess in his mind.
"Could it be that Master Wen's manipulation of the Spirit Seal books in other cities caused this change here?"
Lin Dong recalled that Su Wen had mentioned issues with signal transmission across the Continent in the materials he left behind and had proposed some speculations.
Lin Dong had to admit that he was truly studying the materials Su Wen had provided. Unlike Zhou Yuan and Ye Luochen, Lin Dong had never stopped his theoretical studies and was very willing to do so, just as Su Wen hoped, finding solutions within knowledge.
Su Wen provided him with the method to address the innate weakness of his Martial Spirit and improve his future potential by suggesting the absorption of a thousand-year-old Spirit Ring in the first ring, evolving his own Martial Spirit. However, the specific development from there still depends on Lin Dong himself.
In Heaven Dou City, Widsom Palace remained relatively calm, but many other Widsom Palaces were in chaos.
The Spirit Seal books had exploded!
However, as time passed, the pages quickly exhibited extraordinary changes, temporarily calming their panic and leading them to look forward to the changes in the pages after the Spirit Seal books' degeneration.
Spirit City.
Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy.
Bibi Dong arrived at the library, observing the changes on site and took a deep breath.
She felt the situation more profoundly and deeply than Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others.
The central pages emitted waves of energy, with a subtle connection to distant places.
She caught this subtle connection.
Considering Su Wen's most pressing issue at the moment, Bibi Dong had already developed a vague suspicion in her mind.
Su Wen is trying to communicate with all the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge across the Widsom Palaces!
But how does he plan to achieve this?
If each communication incurs such a great cost, it won't resolve the current problem.
Bibi Dong observed Su Wen's condition, sensing the rapid depletion of his Soul Power, and continuously speculated in her mind.
At the same time, she confirmed one thing: Su Wen indeed has control over the many Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge and could potentially destroy all of them with a single thought.
Su Wen seemed unafraid of Spirit Hall taking action against him at this moment. Despite the enormous consumption of Soul Power, he continued to develop the Study Realm.
Fighting Heaven Douluo released his Martial Spirit, embodying the Battle Soul.
Fighting Heaven Douluo's Soul Power reached level ninety-six. With a Martial Spirit specifically created for battle, divine Spirit Rings, and excellent Spirit Skill combinations, his combat strength was close to level ninety-seven.
With the amplification from Ning Fengzhi, his power would only be stronger.
Present were also a Bone Douluo and Xiao Zhan.
Of course, the people in the Pope's Hall were still unaware of Xiao Zhan's current strength, as were the teachers at the Academy, but it did not diminish his deterrent effect.
'Xue Qinghe' was also standing between Su Wen and Bibi Dong, subtly appearing to be on guard.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong frowned.
The glances exchanged between them were full of confrontation.
However, in their respective gazes, there were also other mixed emotions.
Su Wen did not pay attention to the external changes.
He was fully immersed in the development of the Study Realm.
The Study Realm is a virtual world.
But this virtual world is actually real; Su Wen created it within a spatial interlayer, where the Study Realm's essence resides. Then, by connecting the pages of books across the Continent, he projected a representation of the entire Continent, achieving the function of the virtual world.
After two and a half hours, Su Wen finally organized and integrated the knowledge into the Study Realm.
He possessed a vast amount of theoretical knowledge, but due to the frequent establishment of the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge, even though each time was a direct projection, Su Wen would review a lot of knowledge during the process.
Additionally, Su Wen's review-based Martial Spirit mimicry practice kept him constantly revisiting what he had learned.
This enabled him to rapidly organize and integrate such a vast amount of knowledge into the Study Realm.
The Skull Spirit Bone in Su Wen's hand emitted light, and the already strong fluctuations became even more intense.
Bibi Dong's eyes shone with a unique brilliance.
If just a moment ago the Spirit Bone was slightly short of ten thousand years, now it could indeed be considered a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
However, the advancement of the Spirit Bone was no longer important at the scene.
As the Study Realm was perfected, Su Wen immediately began the next step.
First, a beam of light from the book page, which had previously devolved from the Spirit Seal book, was absorbed into the Spirit Bone.
Then, beams of light descended from the sky, falling into Spirit City, and into the Spirit Hall Advanced Spirit Master Academy.
Across the Continent, light gathered everywhere.
In the sky, shimmering streams of golden light intertwined.
All the light converged into Spirit City.
"What's happening?"
In the Spirit Master World, many Spirit Masters were puzzled by this grand sight.
The Spirit Masters witnessing the change in the Spirit Seal book within the Widsom Palace were even more astonished.
Spirit Masters who had previously witnessed the formation of the Spirit Seal book now realized that this scene seemed to be an enlarged version of the initial Spirit Seal book formation.
"This… this seems like Master Wen is merging the Spirit Seal book."
"What? Are you joking?"
"I'm not joking. I feel like Master Wen is using the Spirit Seal books from various cities as pages to create a higher level Spirit Seal book!"
At this moment, despite the fantastical nature of the situation, this Spirit Master's eyes were filled with excitement as he voiced his guess.
The other Spirit Masters were equally shocked.
A higher level Spirit Seal book?
Boom!
Within each Widsom Palace, the book pages formed from the Spirit Seal book shattered completely, turning into golden streams of light that surged into the sky.
From the original place, a shadow was formed under the resonance of the thirty-six Study Hall pages.
A Virtual Spirit Seal book remained in place.
The Spirit Masters, who had previously been shocked and puzzled, now seemed to receive a message and intuitively took out their own Spirit Seals.
They infused their Soul Power, and then their consciousness spun around, arriving in an unfamiliar space.
"Welcome to the Study Realm."
