The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 129 Secrets of Ancient Books

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, accompanied by their three pets, Little Bird, Step Cloud, Little White, and Cai Luan, once again arrived in front of the ancient building. Wei Wuxian looked up at the building before him, his mind racing. Countless ancient books and artifacts remained here, perhaps revealing the many questions he had.

“Lan Zhan, there are a vast number of ancient books here. Maybe we can find clues related to that strange incident.” Wei Wuxian said as he stepped into the building first.

Lan Wangji nodded slightly, holding the little bird, and entered with him.

The three spirit pets, having just arrived in this place rich in spiritual energy, excitedly ran around and played. Tayun fluttered curiously beside a pile of ancient books in the corner, while Xiaobai happily shuttled between the rows of bookshelves. Cailuan gracefully landed on a stone pillar and preened its feathers.

Wei Wuxian carefully searched the bookshelves, quickly flipping through each ancient tome. As time slipped by, his expression grew more focused. Finally, in a dusty tome, he discovered a clue.

“Lan Zhan, come and look at this!” Wei Wuxian shouted. Lan Wangji immediately stood up, gently placed the chick on the soft couch beside him, and quickly walked over to sit down beside Wei Wuxian.

Their gazes fell upon the ancient tome, which recorded that this world of cultivation had suffered severe damage thousands of years ago, leaving it incomplete. To restore it, one must gather the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, and employ a special formation to unlock the door to a complete world. The fact that cultivators' paths of cultivation currently cease at the Golden Elixir stage is closely linked to the damage done to the world of cultivation.

Wei WuXian frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I see. No wonder it's so hard to make further progress after reaching the Golden Core stage. It's just that the four divine beasts are hard to find these days, and the special formations are unheard of. Restoring the world of cultivation is no easy task."

Lan Wangji pondered, "The Azure Dragon governs the vitality of the East, the White Tiger controls the austerity of the West, the Vermillion Bird controls the flames of the South, and the Black Tortoise guards the tranquility of the North. These four mythical beasts have long been legendary, but it's unknown if they still exist."

Wei Wuxian tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the ancient tome, a glint of determination in his eyes. "No matter what, now that we know the method, it's better than groping in the dark. Putting aside the matter of the divine beast, this special formation may reveal clues in other ancient books."

With that, the two men buried themselves in their ancient books again. A small chick woke up nearby, fluttering its wings and flying to Wei Wuxian's shoulder, chirping non-stop, as if urging them to rest. Wei Wuxian raised his hand to tease the chick, but didn't stop what he was doing.

"Wei Ying, don't be anxious. This matter cannot be rushed." Lan Wangji advised softly.

Wei Wuxian smiled bitterly, "Lan Zhan, you know my temper. The world of cultivation is in chaos right now. If we can fix it, we can give everyone a peaceful place to cultivate."

At this moment, Xiaobai ran over with a small booklet in his mouth, placed it at Wei Wuxian's feet, and ran away happily.

Wei WuXian picked up the booklet and flipped it open. It turned out to be some scattered records about ancient formations.

"Lan Zhan, come and see, Xiaobai seems to have found something useful by accident." Wei Wuxian said excitedly.

Lan Wangji leaned in closer and studied with him. While the booklet didn't describe a complete special formation, it did contain some formation runes and basic principles, which might have some similarities with the formation used to repair the cultivation world.

"It seems that we need more ancient books to support us before we can piece together a complete formation." Lan Wangji said.

Wei WuXian nodded and continued searching among the bookshelves. The three spirit pets seemed to sense their eagerness and stopped playing around, quietly standing by.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei WuXian found another ancient book, which contained some clues about the places where the four divine beasts were suspected to be found.

After a quick glance, he said to Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan, it mentions that a Azure Dragon appeared in the depths of the Eastern Sea of ​​Clouds, there are rumors of the roar of a White Tiger in the Western Desolate Mountains, there seems to be the flame of the Vermillion Bird in the Southern Flame Valley, and the Ice Abyss in the North may be related to the Black Tortoise."

Lan Wangji's eyes were solemn. "These places are extremely dangerous. If you want to explore them, you must be fully prepared."

Wei WuXian smiled and said, "With Second Brother Lan here, I'm naturally relieved. However, this is just a preliminary clue and needs further verification."

The two of them rested briefly, sorting out the information they had gathered so far. Wei Wuxian watched his three busy pets, feeling a sense of emotion. This quest to repair the world of cultivation was long and arduous, but with Lan Wangji by his side and his pets by his side, he had the courage and hope to move forward, even if the road ahead was fraught with obstacles.

“Lan Zhan, after this matter is settled, you and I must travel around this world of cultivation and restore it to its original state.” Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji with a firm gaze.

Lan Wangji looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Okay."
