Ye Guan soon found himself at therge hall that Qing Ling had mentioned. The hall was majestic, towering a hundred meters high. It had four colossal stone pirs at the entrance, each adorned with depictions of bizarre and extraordinary beasts. Threerge words were written on a que above the entrance—<em>Primordial Spirit Library.</em>


    After a moment of contemtion, Ye Guan stepped inside. He was eager to learn about the history of the Primordial Spirit n, which was famous for being the strongest n throughout the vast expanse.


    Upon entering the library, Ye Guan was immediately met by an extremely expansive hall lined with ancient-looking floating bookshelves full of crystal scrolls.


    He headed toward a bookshelf on the right, but a voice suddenly echoed. "Who are you?"


    Ye Guan turned and saw a youngdy standing in the corner of a bookshelf about ten meters away on his left.


    The youngdy was wearing a light blue dress, and her hair cascaded over her shoulders as she leaned against a bookshelf with an ancient-looking book in her hand.


    The youngdy stared at Ye Guan with calm and unwavering eyes.


    Ye Guan presumed that the youngdy was Qing Ling’s sister, so he smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Guan, and I''m an outsider."


    The youngdy furrowed her brows.Ye Guan added, "I want to learn the history of the Primordial Spirit n, and your brother told me toe here."


    The youngdy nced at Ye Guan and then lightly flicked her fingers.


    A thick golden book flew toward Ye Guan. Sixrge words were written on the book''s cover, "Comprehensive History of the Primordial Spirits."


    A deluge of information struck Ye Guan as soon as he opened the book.


    Ye Guan read it for a while before he finally had a general understanding of the Primordial Spirit n. The history of the Primordial Spirit n spanned billions of years, and its heyday was during the era of its founder.


    The founder of the Primordial Spirit n was apparently a supreme elite with almost a hundred percent divinity.


    Unfortunately, no one had been able to reach the same heights as the n leader. Over the past billions of years, countless geniuses and prodigies from the Primordial Spirit n strived to reach a hundred percent divinity.


    Unfortunately, none of them managed to reach that goal.


    However, many of them reached ny percent divinity.


    Ye Guan suddenly realized that achieving even ny percent divinity was incredibly difficult. In fact, only about thirty cultivators managed to reach ny percent divinity despite the Primordial Spirit n''s long history.


    Thirty supreme elites with ny percent divinity was a mind-boggling number in the outside world.


    A great example of this was the fact that the God n had produced only one person who had reached ny percent divinity.


    Meanwhile, the Zhen n had none despite their long history.


    However, the Primordial Spirit n had actually managed to produce about thirty such individuals. No wonder the Primordial Spirit n was proud; they certainly had the credentials.


    Thirty individuals with ny percent divinity seemed like a lot, but it wasn''t thatrge of a number over the span of a billion years.


    Still, Ye Guan realized that he had underestimated the Primordial Spirit n.


    At first, Ye Guan thought the Primordial Spirit n was only slightly stronger than the God n and the Zhen n.


    However, it turned out that the gap was actually incredibly massive. The God n and the Zhen n couldn''t even begin topare to the Primordial Spirit n.


    Just then, the youngdy nearby asked, “Are you the rumored sessor of the First God?”


    “Yes, that''s me.”


    “Has the First God truly passed away?”


    Ye Guan nodded.


    The youngdy shook her head slightly, “What a pity.”


    “Did you know the First God?”


    “No, but I’ve studied him.”


    “Studied him?”


    The youngdy nodded slightly. She opened her palm, and an ancient book floated over to Ye Guan.


    The book''s title was <em>The Legend of the First God.</em>


    Surprised, Ye Guan asked, “You wrote this?”


    “Yes.”


    Ye Guan opened the book and found that it had detailed descriptions of the First God’s deeds, including his visit to the Primordial Spirit n.


    What surprised Ye Guan was how openly the youngdy had written about the First God’s victories over her n’s geniuses and prodigies.


    “Did the First God say anything when he left?”


    Ye Guan shook his head. “No.”


    The youngdy frowned.


    “I read in thatprehensive history that your n has produced about thirty individuals with ny percent divinity…”


    The youngdy corrected him, “Thirty-six individuals...”


    “Thirty-six. How do theypare to the First God?”


    The youngdy shook her head and replied, “The First God will make quick work of them.”


    “How about your founder? The book said that he almost reached a hundred percent divinity.”


    After a moment of silence, the youngdy replied, “But the First God has already made contact with humanity.”


    “Beyond divinity is humanity. Am I right, Miss?”


    “Yes.”


    Ye Guan fell silent. He had suspected it, but now, it was confirmed. Beyond divinity was indeed humanity.


    The youngdy added, “Cultivation is basically conquering oneself.”


    Ye Guan''s curiosity was piqued. “What about your saintess?”


    “She rarely appears since then.”


    “I wonder if she still has feelings for the First God...”


    The youngdy stared at Ye Guan and said, “You are a bit naive.”


    Ye Guan was puzzled.


    The youngdy calmly exined, “Those at the peak of their generation have always been solely focused on the Dao. Romantic feelings are insignificantpared to the pursuit of the Dao.”


    “True, but there are exceptions,” Ye Guan said. <em>In the face of the Dao, romantic feelings truly seem insignificant. Can you really love someone for tens of thousands or even billions of years? Any emotion can fade over time. Of course, there are exceptions. Like my in-skirt aunt!</em>


    The youngdy looked at Ye Guan, “Exceptions?”


    “I know someone who thinks that family is the important thing in existence. The Dao is insignificantpared to family in her eyes.”


    “That sounds like she''s deeply obsessed with something.”


    Ye Guan was surprised.


    “There are two reasons behind why a top-tier supreme elite still cares for someone like they''ve been doing in the past. First of all, it could be their nature. However, they''re still not immune to the natural deterioration of feelings over the ruthless passage of time. The second reason is that they are deeply obsessed with that person, which is the reason they are able to remain unchanged." The youngdy closed the book in her hand and added, “Those who cultivate obsession will see their obsession bing their Dao.”


    Ye Guan was deeply impressed. “Miss, your insight is surprising.”


    “You''ve surprised me, too.”


    “How so?”


    “You''re extremely confident, and it''s not a mere act; you are truly confident. There are two reasons behind such confidence as well—either you are very strong, or your family is very strong…


    “If it’s thetter, then you need to be cautious. Confidence that isn’t based on your own strength is false confidence.”


    “What if it’s both?”


    “Both?”


    “You’re right; my confidence mainlyes from my family. With them behind me, I am not afraid of the Primordial Spirit n. As for myself... I am confident in myself, even though I''m a mere antpared to the entire Primordial Spirit n.”


    "Are you worried about that affecting your state of mind?”


    “Yes.”


    “It’s not thatplicated.”


    Ye Guan was puzzled.


    “Your worry is actually a good sign. It shows that you’re aware of the issue, but you haven’t understood it yet. As you said, you''re a mere antpared to the entire Primordial Spirit n, which has existed for billions of years. However, it hasn''t been that long since you were born, so wouldn''t it be strange if you felt the opposite and felt superior to the entire Primordial Spirit n?"


    “Think about it from another perspective. If a young member of the Primordial Spirit n is standing before you, would you still feel insignificant before them?”


    Ye Guan was taken aback.


    “Cultivators often get stuck in pointless struggles and dilemmas.”


    “That’s true," Ye Guan nodded. He''d often find himself in such struggles, so she agreed with the youngdy''s words.


    The youngdy nced outside and said, “It’s gettingte, Young Master Ye. I need to get back to work. You can read any of the ancient books here, but you can’t take them outside.”


    “Understood.”


    The youngdy turned around to leave with the ancient book in her hand.


    Ye Guan suddenly asked, “What’s your name?”


    “Qing Zhi.”


    “Lady Qing Zhi, have you ever been outside or perhaps studied the history of the civilizations outside?”


    “No.”


    “You should go out and see the world. The vast expanse isn’t just about the Primordial Spirit n; there are many other fascinating civilizations out there.”


    “I''m nning on doing that.”


    “Why not visit the Guanxuan Universe?”


    “Guanxuan Universe?”


    “Yes, it’s a very interesting universe. Many powerful powerhouses call it their hometown.”


    Qing Zhi stared at Ye Guan and asked, “How powerful are they?”


    Ye Guan thought for a moment before saying, “Lady Qing Zhi,e with me.”


    With that, he brought Qing Zhi into the tiny pagoda.


    Qing Zhi was immediately stunned upon entering the tiny pagoda.


    “The spacetime here…” Qing Zhi muttered.


    “This spacetime was created by a rtive of mine. Can anyone from the Primordial Spirit n create something like this?”


    Qing Zhi nodded. “Yes.”


    Ye Guan froze and had no idea what to say.
