Chapter 2587: Presumptuous

She sat beside the bookshelf and turned the pages of the book using the night pearl as lighting. As time pa.s.sed and the night grew darker, the book in her hand reached its final pages.

“Immortal Ascension Ladder? It is indeed in this place!”

Her face was beaming because she had found the information she was looking for.Even though it was quite late at night, she did not feel sleepy at all.

“Immortal Ascension Ladder is also known as Heaven Ascension Ladder. There are 99,999 rungs on this ladder, and the other end may lead to a mysterious new realm. However, in order to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder, cultivators must first achieve the rank of Immortal Emperor. Those who have not attained this rank will be unable to touch the steps, and their divine sense will be harmed by the restrictions it imposes. In less severe circ.u.mstances, a person’s cultivation will be completely abolished, and in the most severe cases, they will die on the spot.”

The further she read, the more astonished she became. “Only Immortal Emperors can go up the ladder? Could it be that Old Man Tianji told me to come here only when he saw I had attained the rank of Immortal Emperor? I wonder if Old Man Tianji has previously gone up the Immortal Ascension Ladder.”

When she turned to the next page, she discovered that it recorded the location of the Immortal Ascension Ladder as well as a simple map.

“The heart of Peng Lai Immortal Island? This map…” She traced her finger across it slowly. She deduced the location of the four cities from the mark above and discovered that they were on the edge of Peng Lai Immortal Island.

“So, this is where the heart of the island is?”

She stopped at the location marked with a circle in the middle, took careful note of the map, and then went back to view the names of those who had ascended the Immortal Ascension Ladder on the last page.

She closed the book in her palm, drew on it with her spirit energy, resealed it, and put it back in place with the others.

She did not antic.i.p.ate finding it within a day. She would not have considered reading the books on the shelf if she hadn’t recalled the old man standing on the chair and wiping the books.

However, with so many valuable books in this library, it would be a shame not to take advantage of this opportunity.

She went up to the second floor, picked up the sealed martial arts skill books, and looked through them…

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye. Feng Jiu emerged from the library early in the morning, while the City Lord and Ling Tianyu waited outside. City Lord Ling smiled and moved forward when he saw her come out.

“Feng…Young Master Feng, I wonder if you have found the information?” City Lord Ling almost addressed her as Miss Feng, but since she had not stated that she was a woman, he continued to address her as Young Master.

Feng Jiu returned his greeting with a brief look. “I found some information.” After glancing at Ling Tianyu, she said to the City Lord, “I have caused you so much trouble these days, so I will say my goodbyes first.”

The City Lord hastily stated, “Young Master Feng rarely pays us a visit. Why don’t you stay in the mansion for a few more days now that you’ve found some information? Allow us to properly host you.”

Hearing this, Ling Tianyu’s expression went unpleasant as he glared at Feng Jiu and then spoke to his father: “Father, he is leaving, so why should you retain him? In addition, I dislike this man quite a bit. He might as well be out of sight and out of mind.”

“Presumptuous!”

The City Lord yelled and scowled at him. “Go home to cultivate!”
