“This is a type of gliphism that we would not be able to pick up, only the librarians of every generation. You can call it heaven's eye or spirit roaming, they refer to the same thing.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAxg9muc3cvW
Sung Tsz Hin said and pointed towards the top of Cloud Forest. On the roof was a huge, coloured glass-like crystal ball with a diameter of three meters. It reflected a sun ray shining on it in all directions, looking just like a miniature sun.314Please respect copyright.PENANA7rK05CFGLS
“The power of spirit roaming allows the cultivator’s consciousness to reach places without the need for them to physically be there. It's just like having their soul leave their body and travel elsewhere. Through the Celestial Pearl, the librarian’s mental strength is boosted by several times. With Mister Cheuk's state and the Celestial Pearl, his consciousness can go anywhere in the world.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAkvralR3r4n
The boys were dumbfounded. It was like having an invisible eye looking over the world every second!314Please respect copyright.PENANA934spBLWYl
“Every librarian has extraordinary talent, and their inheritance is independent such that even Master doesn’t have the right to question it. I heard from Master that Mister Cheuk is the fourth librarian in a thousand years.”314Please respect copyright.PENANARK64h91jTM
At the same time, Cheuk Kwun opened his eyes and greeted them. “Greetings, First, Sixth, and Seventh Teacher.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAClN25XLiHW
“Greetings, Mister Cheuk.” The kids following behind Sung Tsz Hin returned the greeting.314Please respect copyright.PENANAd3USwHA0Yv
Especially hearing Siu Chu’s cute voice, Cheuk Kwun wore a rare smile on his face. “Here to take a look?”314Please respect copyright.PENANARj9DSS7dxg
“I need to show them around someday.” Sung Tsz Hin laughed.314Please respect copyright.PENANAPXSWb2mttw
Cheuk Kwun turned to the kids with a smile. The youths were like the spring breeze bringing fresh air to the place.314Please respect copyright.PENANASudsBTe7qF
“Remember the Cloud Badge and Floating Clouds.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAfnHvCkrbQw
“Thank you for the reminder, Mister Cheuk.” Sung Tsz Hin returned a smile, and Cheuk Kwun went back to his comfortable rocking check, shutting his eyes. Chui Yim and the rest couldn't help but wonder which part of the world he must be looking at now.314Please respect copyright.PENANAWTrKxpLNZB
Sung Tsz Hin came to Cloud Forest, his ponytail shaking slightly as he placed his right hand on the door. Chui Yim caught an unclear white light coming from his hands, and the door opened up.314Please respect copyright.PENANAioq4sqhdgV
Leading the kids in, he explained to them more about the place. “Cloud Forest's librarian inheritance is passed down from generation to generation, and the first librarian and our master were junior and senior brothers. But it’s likely that Senior Uncle has long passed on since it's been a hundred years. But because of that, every librarian and the disciples of every generation are considered to be of the same generation.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAfir4GKoaSX
Cloud Forest seemed just like any ordinary library.314Please respect copyright.PENANABIkswvBOqa
It was different from the Blood Library of the Metallic Blood War Gate, where a huge space was hidden in a small building. Cloud Forest looked just like a bookshop found in small towns, shelves filled with books. It was just a simple place brimming with the smell of books.314Please respect copyright.PENANAdrk7oS1upm
Lam Ming Sum yawned; Chui Yim knew that she hated to read the most. She was frequently chided by Chor Shing Chit back at Riding Clouds Academy for building sandcastles in the air during lessons.314Please respect copyright.PENANATMd5BbosQg
“There are two floors to Cloud Forest. The first floor is where the normal books are at, while cultivation-related items are all on the second floor. Feel free to look around and ask when in doubt,” Sung Tsz Hin said.314Please respect copyright.PENANATRueiMhTvX
“First Teacher, shall I go ahead with my reading then?” Siu Chu shouted.314Please respect copyright.PENANACkHeZPAoFV
“Yes, my dear.” Sung Tsz Hin caressed him.314Please respect copyright.PENANA3ClRF8Vydv
“Okay!” Siu Chu bowed and went to a shelf, picking up a book.314Please respect copyright.PENANAuFlQfbq0Xw
Lam Ming Sum was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but ask. “What's Siu Chu doing, First Teacher?”314Please respect copyright.PENANAXznaLseVFb
“Reading,” Sung Tsz Hin answered with a gentle smile on his face. “Before he finishes all the books on the first floor, he's banned from going to the second floor.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAwZtkaYrCaN
Lam Ming Sum’s mouth was slightly agape as she looked around her. The library was not huge… but it contained an immense amount of books.314Please respect copyright.PENANATtx023H1iM
There was not even space between the books on the shelves; a few thousand in total was an understatement.

It was now afternoon, the sun setting slowly, announcing the end of today.314Please respect copyright.PENANAwXk0qBYXZV
Chui Yim’s group exited Cloud Forest without Siu Chu, who was still reading.314Please respect copyright.PENANAfQxSfN9x6f
“Ming Sum can head back to rest or help Third Junior Brother prepare dinner, I have other errands to run with Junior Brothers.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled at her.314Please respect copyright.PENANAgC484e0w6g
“Alright.” The well-behaved Lam Ming Sum nodded and went off without any more questions.314Please respect copyright.PENANAbKhxOSOfZ4
“What matter is it that we have to keep it from Ming Sum, Great Senior Brother?”314Please respect copyright.PENANA8MDaX5AThE
“Of course, it's an important matter.” Sung Tsz Hin laughed. “As knowledgeable teenagers, do you know what our token is?”314Please respect copyright.PENANAjhETyvFXTZ
“Token?” The boys looked lost. Every Cloud Palace disciple was an elite who had a vast amount of books written about them. However, they had never read about a token.314Please respect copyright.PENANAOD3qkDZo9U
“What item accompanied every appearance of the Cloud Palace disciples in the books?” Sung Tsz Hin looked proud.314Please respect copyright.PENANARXvDLQNolh
“Cloud?” Kam Chin Kee answered after a frown.314Please respect copyright.PENANAmmssZRbj5g
“That's right.” Sung Tsz Hin chuckled. “Every disciple of Cloud Palace arrives by cloud, and Cloud Palace is said to live with the clouds. Yes, I know this all sounds mysterious.314Please respect copyright.PENANAcr9W2HXpni
“All of it originates from Floating Cloud, a gliph.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAjR4Du17GEN
Sung Tsz Hin stood with his hands behind his back.314Please respect copyright.PENANAAnA6uO9763
The sun was slowly setting, turning reddish.314Please respect copyright.PENANACMe0wecz6B
A ball of cloud appeared in front of him, as if Sung Tsz Hin had plucked a piece down from the skies to become his mount. Smiling softly, he stepped on it gently like it was an actual object.314Please respect copyright.PENANAUwYdilGKOz
Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee immediately thought of that huge cloud that they rode on as a class during the trip to the Forbidden Forest.314Please respect copyright.PENANAybvsRqY56O
“This is a basic skill that must be learned by all Cloud Palace disciples. It is also a sign to prove that you're one of us.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled. “The colour differs based on the style we practice, which shows off our uniqueness. For example, my Floating Cloud is white, but Second Junior Sister’s is pink.314Please respect copyright.PENANAsI5SpnDaqf
“I'll now teach you the gliph, and you need to learn it well or nobody in the world will believe your identity as a disciple of Cloud Palace.”314Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bx4sU2bOj
Sung Tsz Hin then took out two ordinary wooden badges for the both of them. “These are your Cloud Badges, a solid token. Just take it as a souvenir; not many in the world can recognize it.” Indeed, as someone who excelled in carving, Kam Chin Kee could tell that it was just an ordinary piece of wood without much purpose.314Please respect copyright.PENANAz956UU2NCQ
“Okay, these are the basics of Floating Cloud…”
314Please respect copyright.PENANAjp1VwztBni

314Please respect copyright.PENANA8qv40QZMjZ
The sun set and night arrived. This was the cycle of the world, and the third day in a row practicing the Floating Cloud gliph.314Please respect copyright.PENANAcr6Q8ZpXh4
It was their fourth day in Cloud Palace, and even the geniuses Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim hadn't finished learning all about it. At the same time, they also realised there was no other task for them but to learn this gliph.314Please respect copyright.PENANA7r7AAVggOE
