Chapter 192: Entering Scroll Palace and coming outside with a beauty
Since Bai Long decided on what to do, all he needed to do next was think of how he would actually do it.
This was also when Bai Long after registering the mission under his name went to the Scroll Palace.
With the Ring of Darkness on his finger, Bai Long would never have to worry about not having enough techniques to train in.
Therefore, the reason he went to the Scroll Palace wasn't because he was searching for techniques to train in. Instead, it was because he wanted to compare the techniques inside his Ring of Darkness with the techniques that were there inside the Scroll Palace.
Showing his identity which allowed him access to the Scroll Palace once every month, Bai along learnt that he could stay as long as he wanted inside the Scroll Palace but could only select one technique.
At the same time, he wasn't allowed to try and learn the techniques while inside the Scroll Palace and could only read the gist of them.
Also, regardless of which technique he took with him when leaving the Scroll Palace, Bai Long wasn't allowed to give it to others and learn it and then teach it to others.
If he defied any of these rules, Bai Long would be immediately stripped of his status as a Core Disciple of the Divine Night Sect and then punished depending on the severity of his crime.
Nodding his head to the old man as he spoke all the rules one by one for almost an hour, Bai Long finally entered the Scroll Palace.
From the outside, the Scroll Palace looked like one of those pantheons from Rome in the world that Bai Long existed before coming to this cultivation world.
Pitch black coloured paint covered the walls on both the inside and the outside.
Due to the absence of any sort of window, because this would only make it easier for people to sneak inside the Scroll Palace or steal the techniques and run away, Bai Long who had entered the Scroll Palace saw that all of his surroundings were covered in darkness.
Luckily there was a line of lanterns with a flame burning inside each of them at the entrance.
Picking one of them up, Bai Long pointed it towards his front to illuminate the path ahead of him.
He originally didn't understand why the Divine Night Sect had kept the whole Scroll Palace so dark on the inside and thought that maybe it was to protect the most ancient manuals which might be inside it.
But once Bai Long saw what the techniques were recorders in, he understood that the Divine Night Sect was doing this to just make the Scroll Palace look mysterious and on the inside.
After all, since all of the techniques had been recorded on jade slips, it wouldn't matter whether they were even stored inside water much less bright light.
Due to being a Yin based cultivator, Bai Long could manage and walk inside the pitch-black hall even without the lamp in his hands.
However with the lamp in his hands, he didn't even need to stop and check each of the jade slips by hand to know what was written on them.
He could just walk past them and still understand what the name of the technique recorded inside those jade slips was.
After first checking the first row of the huge cupboards which had multiple jade slips inside them, Bai Long understood that all the techniques he checked were mostly on the same level and only going deeper would reveal the stronger techniques.
Passing by multiple rows of cupboards, Bai Long assessed that the Divine Night Sect truly deserved its place as one of the strongest forces in the Mainland.
With the number of techniques he had seen until now coming close to rivalling the number of techniques inside the Ring of Darkness, the Divine Night Sect truly possessed a wide range of collection.
But, since the Ring of Darkness only contained techniques related to darkness and evil, it wasn't really shocking for it to possesses lesser techniques than this Sect which had all kinds of techniques inside it.
Going until the deepest end where the size of the cupboards while still remaining the same, didn't contain the same number of jade slips inside them, Bai Long finally picked up a technique after those few he had picked when still in the first row.
"The Sun of Disaster."
"Create a ball of darkness to send everything it touched into oblivion."
"Quite straightforward I guess."
Feeling that whoever wrote these techniques was a childish due to how the explanation for this the technique in his was, Bai Long proceeded to pick up other jade slips and read their names and gist as well.
"The Finger of Death."
"One finger to kill everyone."
"Body of Shadows."
"Make attacking you useless."
....
"The God's hand."
"Do you need an explanation?"
Reading all of the jade slips one after the other, especially that last one, Bai Long was filled with a desire to throw it on the floor and crush it with his legs.
It was around that time that someone walked to the last row and said, "Those explanations don't do any justice to the techniques themselves."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Each of them are techniques which only Qi Emperors can train in. And using any of them successfully and managing to reveal their full strength means that the cultivator has the right to stand at the apex of strength inside the Mainland."
"Really? How can you be so sure of it?"
"Because I'm training in one of them right now."
Frowning at those words, Bai Long guessed that she was either the current Sect Leader, or one of the strongest Great Elders in the Sect.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm a beauty that is looking for some strange."
"Strange?"
"Strange handsome men to have sex with and forget about by tomorrow."
Chuckling a little, Bai Long placed the jade slip in his hands back on the cupboard and said, "Then you've hit the jackpot."
"Indeed."
