If you asked Xue Hui whether he ever thought his life would take so many wild twists and turns, especially when he was still a child in the orphanage, the answer would be no.

  He would definitely tell you that it would be impossible, because not only did Xue Hui lack the innate talent to become someone significant, but he also preferred to stay low-key and avoid attracting attention

  So when his life suddenly took a sharp turn and pushed him into a situation he had never imagined he would be in, he simply went with it and took things in stride. That was how he managed to face all the crazy twists and turns life threw at him.

  But this!?

  Xue Hui is looking on a scroll at his hands, a neat looking scroll made out of fine leather of unknown beast, adorned with gold and silver accent all around its edges.

  Intrigued, Xue Hui opened the scroll and read the title.

  [MOTHER TONGUE OF THE EIGHT BEAST]

  based of the description underneath the title.

  Once successfully comprehend this technique, one would be able to understand all language that ever created since the birth of all existence.

  Xue Hui had a bad feeling of why this scroll was the first one that fall in to his hands.

  Looking around, Xue Hui could see countless scrolls and books all over the place, some in various thickness and sizes.

  "What even is this place, anyway?"

  Last thing he remembered he was holding Chen Linlin to his embrace, staring at each other for the final time, until he heard the roar of the demon beast behind them and everything's went dark.

  When Xue Hui opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the ruined mansion of the Divine Family. Instead, he found himself in some kind of library or something. He wasn’t really sure.

  all he knew is that there's bookshelf and scroll holder everywhere his sight can reached.

  Then, Suddenly, panic rose in his heart, when he finally realized that Chen Linlin is no longer in his embrace.

  Xue Hui called for her, but all he can hear is the echo of his own voice.

  He tried to run, to look for her, but soon realized that he couldn't to leave a certain area.

  Information rushed into his mind, as he tried push his way out.

  First this place is called [CREATION ORIGIN ANCESTRAL MANUAL]

  Second all the books and scrolls contain all the knowledge left behind by supreme expert who also entered this space.

  Third, the reason he was here was because he had just died, and his soul had been transferred inside the space of [CREATION ORIGIN ANCESTRAL MANUAL]

  Fourth, he could only move within his designated space. Only after mastering the scroll in his hands would that space expand. The more knowledge he accumulated, the more books and scrolls would become available for him to study.

  fifth, the only way out is by mastering all the knowledge left behind by all the supreme experts who wrote all the books and scrolls left inside the [CREATION ORIGIN ANCESTRAL MANUAL]

  Xue Hui's knees buckled from all the amount of information rushed to his mind, and he ended collapsed onto the floor.

  With all the information he received, the only one that kept echoing into his mind was the fact, the he actually died.

  He died, that also meant that Chen Linlin died with him.

  Tears flowed down Xue Hui’s cheeks, even though he had long prepared himself for the day Chen Linlin would finally succumb to her illness.

  Xue Hui couldn't help but still feel pain when it happened.

  He could only feel endless pity for his friend, Chen Linlin didn't deserve every pain and suffering she been through.

  Xue Hui stayed sprawled on the floor for who knows how long, his mind drifting through memories of the time he had spent with Chen Linlin.

  Until one day, he sat back and looked at the scroll in his hands.

  "I could get out here if I read all the books in this place, Right!?"

  Xue Hui read the [MOTHER TONGUE OF THE EIGHT BEAST] but even after finishing the entire scroll, nothing happened.

  Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

  He tried to walk toward the other book nearby, to see if the designated space he could move in had expanded, but the area hadn’t increased, nothing had changed, not even a little.

  Xue Hui looked at the scroll again, and tried to remember, what the rules again about these scrolls.

  It said he need to master the scroll, not just reading through everything, he need to understand and comprehend the knowledge written in the scroll.

  Xue Hui groan in annoyance, he glare to the scroll, long enough to bore a hole into it.

  "Sigh! I guess I have no other choice," he muttered, and went right back to reading the entire scroll again.

  "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Xue Hui throw the scroll, he's been reading the same damn thing for a couple of days now and nothing came out of it, he can't comprehend the intent hidden in that scroll.

  Sighing in defeat, he walked toward the scroll and picked it up, he sat back cross legged and closes his eyes, While reciting the words in the scroll.

  Many years had passed, and Xue Hui finally opened his eyes. He set down the scroll he had been holding and watched as the boundaries of his designated area expanded..

  He finally comprehended the [MOTHER TONGUE OF THE EIGHT BEAST] to its fullest, and was now able to understand all the language that been created since the beginning of life.

  He only took him a freaking hundreds of years to do so.

  Xue Hui want to vomit from how much studying he did, to be able to c

  Comprehend that damn scroll.

  He walked to the nearest bookshelf and pickup the first book that caught his eyes.

  [All known diseases in smaller world] Xue Hui has been eyeing this book, since he was able to read its title, when he successfully comprehended the second stage of [MOTHER TONGUE OF THE EIGHT BEAST] scroll.

  Xue Hui took the book and sat on the floor to read its content.

  "This doesn't make any sense!?" Xue Hui read the entire thing and able to comprehend all its content, the book shown a sign of being finished after reading it, and yet he couldn't find the exact same illness that Chen Linlin has been inflicted of.

  Thanks to [MOTHER TONGUE OF THE EIGHT BEAST] Xue Hui was 100% sure that none of the diseases and illnesses listed in the book were the same with Chen Linlin condition, and this book listed almost every kind of diseases that could be found in smaller world, like theirs.

  Xue Hui stood up and search the bookshelf around him, his heart was throbbing while looking for specific tittle, if his guess we're correct then..

  Xue Hui eyes flash with light when he found the book his was looking for, grabbing it he immediately read its content.

  -THUD!- the bookshelf Infront of him shook when Xue Hui fist connected on it.

  "BASTARD!" Xue Hui roared in anger, when he finally found the cause of his friend illness.

  "I swear, I will find you whoever you are, if not in this lifetime, I will find you in your next life, and I'll return all the pained and suffering you inflicted to my friend by hundreds folds!"

  Xue Hui gritted his teeth in rage. Veins is popping on his forehead, and his fist clenched so tightly it begun to turned pale. He had guessed right.

  Its not a diseases, but poison, someone out there has the heart to inflicted such a cruel poisoned to a little girl.

  All those years, she been suffering for all those year, because somebody poisoned her.

  Xue Hui read all the pages pertaining that specific poison repeatedly, remembering every single details, and how to cure it.

  He knew it's too late, but he couldn't help himself. He just need to know all about this poison.

  Maybe deep inside Xue Hui heart, this is the only way for him to cope with the lose of his friend.

  Xue Hui spend most of his time reading and comprehending all the books and scrolls inside the [CREATION ORIGIN ANCESTRAL MANUAL].

  some of the book allowed him to do practical stuffs by summoning all the items he needed to practice the procedure based on the books.

  inscription material, alchemy ingredients, and even martial dao sparing, all can be trained physically. by summoning specific objects he needed.

  The more he comprehend all the books and scroll left behind by those supreme expert, the more knowledgeable he became, allowing him to have more better understandings of theory and concept inside the books.

  At first Xue Hui need at least hundreds or even thousand of years to comprehend the knowledge he was studying.

  But now, Xue Hui only need a week or two to finished an entire book, half to full year for those extremely difficult book.

  More time has past, a dignified looking person can be seen walking leisurely toward the only altar, inside the space of [CREATION ORIGIN ANCESTRAL MANUAL].

  Although one can only described him like a really well mannered teenager based on his youthful appearance and graceful movement.

  His eyes bare an indescribable glint, like someone who hold all the answers in the universe.

  Xue Hui had been long given up keeping time of how much he had been staying within the space of [CREATION ORIGIN ANCESTRAL MANUAL], he lost tracked when he reached the twenty thousand years mark.

  But he'd done it, he read all the books and scrolls left behind by the supreme experts before him.

  Except for one, the green scroll, suspiciously reminded him of the birth mark he used to had on his chest.

  Walking toward the altar, Xue Hui couldn't belive that he actually manage to read everything within this space.

  Feeling the book hidden inside his cloath, the one containing the information of his late friend's illness, Xue Hui couldn't help but feel anxious.

  Based on the information he got, after he read all the books and scrolls, he should be able to leave this space, once he read the last remaining scroll, place on the altar.

  Stepping on the steps, Xue Hui suddenly felt a jolt inside his cloath, with lightning speed, he moved his arm and immediately grab the book of poison he's been keeping to his person ever since he got hold of it.

  The book is trying to flew away from him. He stare at it and looked back at the altar, he immediately figured out that his not allowed to bring the book along with him.

  Although Xue Hui already memorized all the content within the book, he still kept it close to him.

  As much as he hate it to admit it, the book of poison became his only companion all this years, inside this mysterious, lonely place.

  He even converse to this book, more than he talked with the summoned sparing partner despite the later is more human like than the book.

  Xue Hui knew that he unconsciously associated the book with his late friend, and wanted to keep it close to him, just like how he and Chen Linlin stayed close to each other all those years in the past.

  But now, it seems that the book wanted to part with him return to its original place.

  Taking a shuddering breath, Xue Hui let go the book and watched it flew back to the direction he'd first came from.

  Xue Hui turned his head back to the scroll lay on the altar walked towards it and picked it up to read its content.
