Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 920 487: The Strange Tenth Floor of the Library Pavilion!

Without the Bamboo Garden, he truly would have missed it entirely.

"It was probably an accident, yet the uproar was massive. The boy grasped the Rule of Space, so he gambled and tested it out. You must have been careless, that's all."

Murong Chuan naturally couldn't be betrayed by him.

He needed to fabricate an excuse.

"Hmph!"

Zhan Tian felt greatly annoyed, as if he were being taken for an idiot.

But... never mind.

No use chasing it further, especially since they were heading inside regardless.

His query stemmed merely from curiosity.

Even if Chen Xuan hadn't spoken the full truth, one fact stood clear: he had employed the Rule of Space. Without it, stepping onto the tenth floor would have alerted him instantly.

Just like in the Bamboo Garden!

Suddenly, a surge of Spiritual Power erupted, triggering the array on the tenth floor of the Library Pavilion, causing the door to creak open gradually.

"Hmm..."

All four individuals on the ninth floor snapped their eyes open at once.

The others stayed composed, but Zongzheng's eyes bulged in astonishment as he sensed Chen Xuan. "How can it be him?"

"He's about to step into the tenth floor?"

Impossible!

Though new to the Three Judicial Departments, Zongzheng, as a potential Minister, knew full well the significance of the tenth floor.

Not even they held permission to access it.

Yet Zhan Tian was granting him entry?

"He... gets to enter the tenth floor?"

Wu Yue shared the same shock.

Ye Chen just cast a brief look before resuming his cultivation.

He didn't care who entered the tenth floor, provided Zhan Tian didn't surpass him.

Inside the Bamboo Garden, eyes narrowed sharply—it was him!

This aura matched that figure from before perfectly.

However... "Why is Zhan Tian permitting him on the tenth floor now?"

Each of the four harbored their private musings.

Outside!

"Let's go!"

Zhan Tian declared, then in a flash, he advanced and materialized at the tenth floor's doorway.

At the sight, Chen Xuan eagerly trailed behind.

"Do you realize that thanks to you, I've had to rework every array in this place?"

Positioned at the threshold, Zhan Tian shot Chen Xuan a fierce glare.

"Sorry, Elder Zhan."

Chen Xuan offered his sincere apology. Reworking them all must have been no small feat, consuming vast resources no doubt.

Reflecting on it, he found the situation rather ridiculous.

He had even considered having Tang Gu break the array—fortunate he hadn't, or it would have been futile!

"At least you show proper remorse!"

"For Xiaoqi's sake, I'll let it slide."

"But heed this: once inside, follow the rules strictly. Liu Sheng must have cautioned you. No need for further warnings."

In response to the admonition, Chen Xuan gave a slight nod.

Liu Sheng had acted that way, and now Zhan Tian followed suit. What secrets lay on the tenth floor?

His interest was thoroughly aroused.

"No, no, curb the curiosity. The Human Realm coordinates matter most."

Chen Xuan suppressed his urge to know forcefully.

Next, he watched Zhan Tian extend a hand, threads of Spiritual Power bursting from his fingertips.

"Boom... "

The whole Library Pavilion trembled violently.

"You're lucky you didn't activate the array then. Otherwise, weeds would be towering over your grave by now."

Zhan Tian muttered to himself.

Chen Xuan kept a straight face outwardly, though inside he felt utterly speechless. Did he seem that idiotic?

"Don't act indignant. Without the Rule of Space concealing it, I'd have detected you right away."

Zhan Tian eyed him before adding, "The entrance features an active detection array linked directly to me. I could sense it even from the Imperial City!"

"I see!"

A chill of aftershock ran through Chen Xuan. Naturally, without mastering the Rule of Space, he never would have ventured in.

The quaking intensified, as the entrance array parted slowly.

Shortly after, it halted completely.

The tenth floor entrance stood wide open.

"Follow my exact footsteps!"

Saying so, Zhan Tian led the way inside.

"Footsteps?"

Chen Xuan arched a brow faintly. Did the steps hold some special property too?

Despite his intrigue, he mirrored Zhan Tian's every step precisely, crossing into the tenth floor.

The tenth floor sprawled enormously!

Its exterior gave no hint of such scale.

"Has the space here been compressed?"

As one versed in the Rule of Space, Chen Xuan queried upon noticing the anomaly.

"Hmm!"

Zhan Tian affirmed with a nod. "It appears compact from outside, but within, it rivals the size of the entire Three Judicial Departments. The founding Minister crafted it thus."

"I see!"

Guided by Zhan Tian along a narrow path, Chen Xuan spotted quaint houses lining the route.

Indeed!

These small houses dotted the tenth floor, each bearing a nameplate by its entrance.

Chen Xuan spared them a quick glance and looked away.

"Huh? Why has Zhan Tian's face turned so grave here?"

Chen Xuan felt confused.

Yet he recalled Liu Sheng's earlier advice: avoid gazing at forbidden sights, refrain from probing forbidden matters.

Half an hour elapsed.

They arrived before a crimson door.

Zhan Tian pushed it lightly, and as it swung open steadily, Chen Xuan peered within at last.

Differing from the Hundred Mansions, nine stone pillars formed a circular arrangement.

Nothing else occupied the space!

Zhan Tian entered and neared the pillars, his face etched with intricate emotions, lost in contemplation of some mystery.

Though impatience gnawed at Chen Xuan inwardly, he stood silently without pressing, and dared not interrupt!

After what felt like ages, Zhan Tian turned to Chen Xuan. "Bew deeply to the pillars. They embody the arduous labors of Great Yu's forebears!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan bowed profoundly without delay, showing utmost reverence.
