Chapter 3048: The Top Floor of the Library

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Half a month had passed since Duan Ling Tian had arrived at the Simplicity Celestial Sect. During that time, with the Chaos Divine Flame, he had been staying in his residence to help Huang’er integrate with his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. After using up the Stellar Sand, the integration between Huang’er and the sword was 60% complete. If he could obtain another ingredient similar to the Stellar Sand, he would be able to completely integrate Huang’er into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. At that time, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword would return to its peak state as a prominent artifact, and Huang’er would also be able to leave the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and manifest a human form.

After Duan Ling Tian had used up the Stellar Sand, he decided to make his way to the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s library. He had, naturally, come for the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that were stored on the top floor of the library. Although he might not be able to comprehend all of the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that were contained in consumable Memory Celestial Talismans, he still wanted to memorize all of them since he had access to them.

‘I’ll try to memorize as many King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that are available,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he made his way to the top floor.

There were disciples guarding the entrance to each floor of the library. They, naturally, did not obstruct Duan Ling Tian when he showed them his true disciple token. All of the disciples, without exception, were shocked when they saw his true disciple token. After all, he was famous in the Simplicity Celestial Sect for being a newcomer who became a true disciple despite only being an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial. Everyone, except for those in closed-door cultivation or away from the sect, had heard about him.

The person guarding the library’s top floor was a gray-haired old man with a wrinkly face. “So, you’re Duan Ling Tian? Truly remarkable!”

“Senior.” Although Duan Ling Tian did not know the old man’s identity, he still bowed out of courtesy.

“You’ve achieved remarkable feats at such a young age, but you know to show respect to your seniors. A young man like you is rare in this day and time.” A smile appeared on the old man’s wizened face. His smile looked worse than if he was crying.

The old man did not beat around the bush and asked, “Are you here for the King Grade Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, or the cultivation methods?”

“Senior, I’m here for the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

The old man nodded before he asked, “Which kind of King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities?”

“What do you mean?” Duan Ling Tian asked in confusion.

“What I mean is what law contained in the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities do you want…” the old man explained.

“Can’t I have all of them?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He had planned to take all the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities available. Since they were all consumables, it would not affect the Simplicity Celestial Sect at all.

“You want all of them?” The old man said in a displeased tone, clearly angered, “Who told you that you can have all of them? Tell me so I can have his legs crippled!”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback by the old man’s reaction. After all, he did not expect the old man to react in such a manner. He only smiled wryly as he replied, “Senior, nobody told me that I can take all of them, but nobody told me that I can’t either.”

Duan Ling Tian recalled that Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, had told him that he could come to the top floor of the library for the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. However, Sun Liang Peng did not say anything about the number of Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities he was allowed to take.

After hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the old man’s expression eased. Then, he explained, “The King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities on the top level of the library are only limited to one law, even for a true disciple. This has always been the rule in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. The ancestors were worried that greed might cloud the descendants’ minds, hence, such a rule was established. You’re allowed to choose a law and take all the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contain that law. However, you’ll have to use the Memory Celestial Talismans here before you leave.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He did not expect such a rule would exist in the Simplicity Celestial Sect. He had initially planned to take all of the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities and memorized them for later use. After listening to the old man, he knew he could only choose one law.

The old man said, “I heard that you’ve already comprehended two profundities from the law of earth. I recommend you choose the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contain the law of earth. There’s one King Grade Celestial Method and two King Grade Divine Abilities that contain the law of earth in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.”

“Senior, may I know more about the King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities that contain the law of earth?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes, of course.” The old man nodded. Then, he led Duan Ling Tian to a bookshelf. Each of the King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities had a Memory Celestial Talisman with an explanation.

“Extend your Divine Consciousness into the Memory Celestial Talismans that correspond with the King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities to learn about them,” the old man said before he moved to the side and silently watched Duan Ling Tian.

“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He extended his Divine Consciousness into the first Memory Celestial Talisman and a barrage of information flooded his mind immediately.

‘This is a King Grade Divine Ability called the Dragon Escape Ability. It contains the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity, and another profundity called the Ground Escape Technique!’

‘The Ground Escape Technique is the law of earth’s only movement profundity. However, before reaching the mastery stage, this profundity is useless in the air and can only be used on the ground!’

Duan Ling Tian had heard about the Ground Escape Technique from the Chaos Divine Earth so he was aware of its weakness.

‘Before comprehending the Ground Escape Technique to the mastery stage, one can only use it on the ground. However, when it’s at the mastery stage, one would be able to use it in the air by using the Earth Elemental Profundity to mimic the ground in the air.’ These were Chaos Divine Earth’s words.

Then, Duan Ling Tian withdrew his Divine Consciousness from the first Memory Celestial Talisman and moved onto the next one. ‘Let’s see what the other King Grade Divine Ability and Celestial Method are…’

“This is a King Grade Celestial Method called the Thorn Cage Method. Apart from the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity, it also contains the Gravitational Space Profundity.”

‘This King Grade Celestial Method seems similar to the Black Rock Prison Method I have. They contain the law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He could not help but feel slightly disappointed by this discovery.

After a short moment, he extended his Divine Consciousness into the last Memory Celestial Talisman.

“This is a King Grade Divine Ability called the Earth Pulsation Ability. Apart from the Earth Elemental Profundity, it also contains the Vibration Profundity!”

The Vibration Profundity!

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately.

According to the Chaos Divine Earth, defensive and assistive abilities were the law of earth’s forte. However, the law of earth had an offensive profundity called the Vibration Profundity!

‘The Earth Pulsation Ability that contains the Vibration Profundity is more tempting than the Dragon Escape Ability that contains the Ground Escape Technique. The Thorn Cage Method is similar to the Black Rock Prison Method since they contain the Gravitational Space Profundity,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He was in a dilemma.

The King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities that contained the law of earth could help him tremendously. However, since he had only started to comprehend the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity, relatively recently, he could still switch to another law to comprehend if he so wished.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man and asked, “Senior, where are the King Grade Celestial Methods and Abilities that contain the law of metal and fire?” He had decided to look at the King Grade Celestial Methods and Abilities that contained the law of metal and the law of fire first before he made a decision. If the two laws had more King Grade Celestial Methods and Abilities compared to the law of earth, he would choose either one of those two laws.
