Chapter 148: Is this even something a normal person can do?
When Timothy opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the Arcane Library.
Looking up, it seemed like the towering shelves stretched right up to the heavens, filled with countless books.
And each one was a treasure that could drive any practitioner wild with desire.
"Infinite Skyforce Technique," "Fivefold Vital Essence Guide," "Netherworld Wraith Formation"...
There were endless books on Alchemy, Artifact Forging, Arcane Arts...
Some books even radiated a mystical glow, their mere sight hinting at their immense value.
Ding, system notification: Host's comprehension abilities are greatly enhanced for the next hour, allowing almost unlimited understanding of any book.
The system's notification suddenly rang out.
After comprehending the "Transmutation of the One" from the Oak Leaf, the recent thunderous techniques that temporarily boosted the disciples' strength of Sky Sanctuary also fed back to Timothy.
But even Timothy hadn't expected such a massive feedback.
Unlimited comprehension for an hour!
This was an opportunity not to be missed!
Without hesitation, Timothy headed straight for the section with the most ancient and valuable books, quickly flipping them open one by one.
Meanwhile, outside the high tower, the others were also observing the situation in the Arcane Library.
The Arcane Library of Sky Sanctuary not only housed numerous books but also served another purpose.
Each book was exceptionally precious.
Whenever someone successfully comprehended a book, the Arcane Library would sense their aura and announce it to the entire Sky Sanctuary.
However, apart from the extraordinarily talented Goddess Sylvia, even the High Priests and the Holy Envoys of the Star Palace rarely had any breakthroughs.
It had been a long time since the Arcane Library had made any announcements.
Now, although they were closely watching the Arcane Library, the other High Priests, like Elder Turner, were eager to know what was happening inside to rescue Timothy if anything went wrong.
The Arcane Library stood as usual, silent, seemingly even more tranquil than usual.
But this inexplicable calm felt oddly foreboding, like the calm before a storm.
Elder Turner looked up anxiously, his heart pounding.
They didn't know that even Sylvia of Sky Sanctuary was now staring with a slightly frozen gaze, her expression revealing a hint of urgency.
What was happening inside the Arcane Library now?
Protected by layers of magical wards, no one could see inside.
The clouds still hung heavy, the atmosphere tense and oppressive.
Even the disciples felt something was off, whispering among themselves.
But just then, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst from within the Arcane Library.
The light was so brilliant it almost made the entire tower translucent, spreading far and wide, illuminating half the sky.
Everyone nearby was enveloped in this light, their faces showing shock and astonishment.
"Timothy has succeeded in his comprehension!" Elder Turner suddenly exclaimed.
After all, the books inside the Arcane Library were of the highest grade, and even High Priests struggled to comprehend them.
In such a short time, not only had Timothy faced no danger, but he had also comprehended an ancient tome.
"'Divine Crafting Manual,' comprehension successful," announced the Arcane Library.
"'Divine Crafting Manual'? That's an alchemy book!"
While amazed at Timothy's terrifying speed of comprehension.
Why would he choose to comprehend an alchemy book?
But before their confusion could clear, the Arcane Library burst forth with another light.
"'Compendium of Alchemy' comprehension successful."
What? Another successful comprehension?
Elder Turner stared in the direction of the Arcane Library, dumbfounded.
Had he heard wrong?
No, the voice from the Arcane Library was crystal clear.
The first was Artifact Forging, and now it was Alchemy.
And more importantly, how much time had passed?
Not even a minute!
"Comprehending a book with just one glance? Is this even something a normal person can do?"
"Seriously, are you sure the Arcane Library isn't broken?" Elder Turner asked the other High Priests nearby, feeling like his brain couldn't quite keep up.
"The Arcane Library is an Epic-level artifact, constantly nourished by the books it contains. It's supposed to grow, not break down," one of the High Priests replied, also feeling a headache coming on.
"But this speed, one book per glance, even if it's outrageous, it's just not possible!"
"This..."
Everyone who witnessed this was stunned.
Everyone knew that the Arcane Library was an extremely precious treasure and also knew how dangerous it could be.
So, what was happening now?
"'Eightfold Breathing Method' comprehension successful."
"'Draconic Spirit Array' comprehension successful."
"'Thousand Birds Sword Manual' comprehension successful."
"'Hidden Eagle Mystics' comprehension successful."
"'Holy Codex of Origins' comprehension successful."
As everyone was still in shock, the Arcane Library burst into even more brilliant light, and the announcements kept coming.
One book title after another echoed around Sky Sanctuary.
There were books on Alchemy, Artifact Forging, arcane arts, magical arrays, sword techniques, and secret cultivation methods...
It was like popping candy, one name after another.
"Holy crap?"
"Holy crap!"
In a moment where thousands of beautiful words could have been spoken, only two remained.
Listening to the sounds around them, everyone's eyes widened, and their gazes towards the Arcane Library were filled with utter astonishment.
What on earth was Timothy doing inside?
Could it be that he had devoured the entire Arcane Library?
Just then, two thunderous booms sounded in the sky, and dazzling lightning almost lit up the entire sky.
Moreover, the thunder on the left was a fiery red, like burning flames, while the thunder on the right was a brilliant emerald green.
The two bolts of lightning were so bright they seemed to tear open the sky.
"This... could this be!"
A thought exploded in Elder Turner's mind.
He had heard rumors about the red and green heavenly tribulations.
The red thunder was a sign of a Level 6 Forgemaster's emergence.
The green thunder indicated the birth of a Level 6 Alchemist.
On the continent of Elant, the highest level for smiths and alchemists was nine, and since ancient times, high-level craftsmen and alchemists had been extremely rare.
Reaching Level 6 was considered the pinnacle, heralded by the red and green heavenly tribulations.
Had Timothy reached Level 6 as both a Forgemaster and an Alchemist?
But before this, he had never been linked to either.
That meant...
"It's not that there's something wrong with the Arcane Library,it's that Timothy effortlessly comprehended everything he read!"
What kind of prodigy was this?
Recalling his own centuries of study in alchemy, barely reaching Level 3, Elder Turner felt like crying.
