“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.”321Please respect copyright.PENANAjLLuHhs5FW
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAMH1JDTUpZW
“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.”321Please respect copyright.PENANADgt9wXxHyP
The boys were dumbfounded. It was like having an invisible eye looking over the world every second!321Please respect copyright.PENANAKarDlW078M
“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.”321Please respect copyright.PENANAxHydV4Wxa0
At the same time, Cheuk Kwun opened his eyes and greeted them. “Greetings, First, Sixth, and Seventh Teacher.”321Please respect copyright.PENANANQIIQjsmez
“Greetings, Mister Cheuk.” The kids following behind Sung Tsz Hin returned the greeting.321Please respect copyright.PENANAnaAKB3ky7j
Especially hearing Siu Chu’s cute voice, Cheuk Kwun wore a rare smile on his face. “Here to take a look?”321Please respect copyright.PENANAEOV2g6xMxt
“I need to show them around someday.” Sung Tsz Hin laughed.321Please respect copyright.PENANANaIhfDYfjN
Cheuk Kwun turned to the kids with a smile. The youths were like the spring breeze bringing fresh air to the place.321Please respect copyright.PENANAnEqJaWw4XV
“Remember the Cloud Badge and Floating Clouds.”321Please respect copyright.PENANAwWrnpCpL7W
“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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAguESkMdnSX
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANApCEzJjTry4
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.”321Please respect copyright.PENANAst5gOs3C2F
Cloud Forest seemed just like any ordinary library.321Please respect copyright.PENANA7NXxAd808H
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANADdp2LqEUhV
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAzSagFRWUoc
“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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAnt2LK8PLwQ
“First Teacher, shall I go ahead with my reading then?” Siu Chu shouted.321Please respect copyright.PENANAGtuS9Rsyiq
“Yes, my dear.” Sung Tsz Hin caressed him.321Please respect copyright.PENANA5m1PKvGYVi
“Okay!” Siu Chu bowed and went to a shelf, picking up a book.321Please respect copyright.PENANAc7bwzHMU7S
Lam Ming Sum was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but ask. “What's Siu Chu doing, First Teacher?”321Please respect copyright.PENANAKrTg32ZK3W
“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.”321Please respect copyright.PENANAhhMPb6SjUi
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAXMlRnEkbZN
There was not even space between the books on the shelves; a few thousand in total was an understatement.

321Please respect copyright.PENANAKR5UPDWG2D
It was now afternoon, the sun setting slowly, announcing the end of today.321Please respect copyright.PENANAUeq4yUOmTF
Chui Yim’s group exited Cloud Forest without Siu Chu, who was still reading.321Please respect copyright.PENANAwZpTTPPVzd
“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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAXIXnncVFb9
“Alright.” The well-behaved Lam Ming Sum nodded and went off without any more questions.321Please respect copyright.PENANALA1smitS6d
“What matter is it that we have to keep it from Ming Sum, Great Senior Brother?”321Please respect copyright.PENANAq8S62zgDgA
“Of course, it's an important matter.” Sung Tsz Hin laughed. “As knowledgeable teenagers, do you know what our token is?”321Please respect copyright.PENANAHqKLJ0fujP
“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.321Please respect copyright.PENANA3NdObHtxSf
“What item accompanied every appearance of the Cloud Palace disciples in the books?” Sung Tsz Hin looked proud.321Please respect copyright.PENANA64Zu2qBwiX
“Cloud?” Kam Chin Kee answered after a frown.321Please respect copyright.PENANAlEyZkRQelg
“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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAhecz2jIQBK
“All of it originates from Floating Cloud, a gliph.”321Please respect copyright.PENANAo0YPPnxOdV
Sung Tsz Hin stood with his hands behind his back.321Please respect copyright.PENANASCouSGzXlt
The sun was slowly setting, turning reddish.321Please respect copyright.PENANAgx5psK2FtC
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAguSXEqSYI8
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANA5ub7sR0kPj
“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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAicm84zuGzB
“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.”321Please respect copyright.PENANA1FrYx6ugph
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAWLRcohyc22
“Okay, these are the basics of Floating Cloud…”

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.321Please respect copyright.PENANAMurYOj1A2S
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.321Please respect copyright.PENANATHM4vSW0tl
