《THE ETERNAL LAW》chapter 4 - seven library hall
Advertisement
Rosaria just woke up, she has been awake all night and didn’t had a proper sleep, and now as the only worker in this house she has to deal with one more work.
“Good morning, rose!” he said while rubbing the back of his head
“Young master, it’s clearly not very good for me! What have you been doing this early in the morning by the way? And what is all this?” she said with a tired face
“you don’t have worry I will fix all this, also I have a great news for you”
“al-alright, I don’t see you smiling this often, so I am now kind of interested”
“I can cultivate prana now; I am no more waste” he said with a big smile on his face
Rosaria had tears in her eyes
“yo-u-you can cultivate now? Re-really? Isn’t that a great news, now no one can ever bully you young master!” she said while crying
“he-he don’t cry, lets see who has the guts to bully us, they might have to pay for their lives now!”Aarav said while patting her.
“and you don’t have to worry about the backyard I was just practicing some Arcane arts, I will get things straight here, alright”
“well, you are a big man now, I will leave this to you then” and she left.
“I see appraisal in my skills, how do I use it? can you explain?”
“[System: concentrate prana in your eye balls and let it flow slowly through the iris, as you do it while looking at the target it would help the system to scan and provide the required and unlocked information to the host]”
“alright, here goes nothing!”.
Appraisal was an additional skill he received from the Book, so it wasn’t very hard to learn.
*screen appears*
“[Name: Rosaria Dracaster]”
“[age: 15]”
“[Constitution: Supreme Essence of immortal avatar]”
“[Cultivation: None]”
“[Title: None]”
“[skills: None]”
“hey, she had a family surname? Dracaster? Not so very familiar, and wait doesn’t her constitution sounds very over powered? Yo! can you explain about her constitution a little, please don’t say I am not eligible please.”
“[System: Supreme Essence of immortal avatar is one of the mythical avatar body , the owner of the avatar can absorb almost every kind of energy without any backlash and Convert it into their native energy also their absorption rate, comprehension and supremacy ability is very high, which makes them very powerful even compared to cultivators in higher realms than the avatar owner, this constitution is also known as ‘Golden-Essence avatar’, it is advised to not let others know about this constitution to avoid dangers]”
“ho-ho, you giving warning is not very common, so I will take this seriously, but if she had such powerful constitution doesn’t that mean she can also cultivate?”.

“[System: Host of Immortal avatars cannot cultivate using just any kind of method, they require very special methods to even start, then they need to comprehend their own Avatar’s to alter the previous cultivation method so that it suits their body]”
“so, we need to find a method which she can use to start and after that she have to figure it out herself, alright then! Do you have any which she can use?”
“[System: law has everything but they can only be used by the host]”
“che-e, aren’t you just being petty! So how do we help her then? Do you have any idea?”.
“[System: Host need to find a suitable method; law can then help the host to make changes in the method which can then be used by the owners of immortal avatar’s]”
“Thanks a lot man, I think we can find some methods in the Seven-Library hall of frost family, and I guess it’s time to visit their as well as once you reach 3rd stage sprit realm anyone from family can choose to learn one Low-grade Soul arcane arts, though they are all shitty to me with you here.”
“Rosaria, I have some work to do I might get late don’t wait for me, ok!” he shouted and ran towards the Seven-library hall.
“let’s use flash-ghost steps and check how much have I improved”.
Using flash ghost steps Aarav can now move 60 steps every second, it took him around 10 minutes to cover the distance of 17 miles.
Seven-library hall belongs to the frost family and most of their cultivation method, arcane arts and many other important stuffs are stored there under a very heavy protection. Seven library hall is 45 feet tall pagoda with total of 7 floors out of which only first 3-floors are accessible to family members and students, while other 4th and 5th floor can be used by family Elders, the 6th floor can be used by Grand-elders and at last the 7th floor is only accessible to the patriarch. There’s been a rumour that at 7th floor there is a some hidden-treasure.
Aarav walks inside the Library towards the front desk where sits an elder of the hall, he is sitting on a chair with a book on his face, most probably sleeping.
“Um-m, H-Hello are you awake?” he said softly
“I am boy, what are you here for?” elder in a deep voice
Elder of library hall is an old man, who has been serving the frost family for a very long time, and the aura that he emits does tell that he a master in a higher realm.
“well, I recently reached to the 3rd stage of sprit realm so I am thinking to get one arcane art for myself”.

“hmm, alright you are a 3rd stage, you can go inside - remember you cannot take anything out of the library also don’t go beyond red line on 1st floor as you are only eligible to learn low-Grade Soul Arcane, you have 6 hours and it starts now.”
“thanks a lot, elder!” he bowed and went inside the room
Aarav used appraisal on the elder before leaving.
“dam, that was scary he had one heavy aura, I thought he caught me there ha-ha, well let’s see what he got.” he sighed in relief.
*screen appears*
“[Name: Robion R. frost]”
“[Age: 74]”
“[Constitution: Colossal-Oak Avatar]”
“[Cultivation: Prana Void Realm 7th stage]”
“[Title: Elder of Seven library hall]”
“[skills: Hill Chaos Tornado, hundred-wind blades, Great Ox tackle]”[locked]
“[status: Internal injuries, Half-meridian rupture]”
“he is 7th stage void realm master, no wonder he had such heavy aura, ho-ho! this is a surprise, I never thought that he would be injured and he even had some raptured meridians, I wonder who would have done that! -But the bigger surprise is this one, he has got a Constitution, I wonder if he himself know about it? well whatever, time to find some cultivation methods, but we are not allowed to go beyond the red line, what do we do?”
“[System: Host need to concentrate prana inside the brain and balance it inside the cerebrum, and then let it flow outside to use ‘Deific-Sense’, then Law can completely scan the whole building.]”
“now that’s what I call awesome, by the way can you also record the content of methods, all those techniques and arcane arts present here? I might need them in future.”
“[System: Host has not yet formed a ‘knowledge-ocean’ to record and store anything]”
“what about you? Can’t you just record it inside yourself?”
“[System: host need to go through contents visually for law to record them, using Deific-Sense can only let law compare methods if they are useful or not]”
“alright after this, I will look for some methods you can record”.
After 5 minutes
“have you found anything useful?”
“[System: There is no suitable method present here]”
“ah dam- so poor! Can’t even collect some useful methods, well let’s just go and record some techniques for future preference, you can at least tell me which ones useful right?”.
“[System: Yes]”
“alright the , what are we waiting for!”
Law System gave instructions as to which one to collect, while Aarav went through all of them one by one with full speed, he was at the last book while his cousin Carleton noticed him flipping the pages.
He laughed loudly and said
“hey, look at this trash - he doesn’t understand shit and Is just flipping the pages thinking he might catch some like this ha-ha, now- how did you get in here? this place is not for a trash like you, so you might wanna get out of here.”
“Who are you again?” said Aarav in an un-concernedd tone
People around them started giggling
“y-you! Ha I don’t care, you get out of here, only those who have reached 3rd stage of sprit realm can come here, and trash like you should get the fuck out of here, who is so stupid to let you in?”
Aarav completely ignored him, Carleton felt a great shame and Disrespect at that moment and got really angry and shouted.
“you trash, how dare you ignore me? Let me show you the difference between in us and our status.”
Carleton rushed towards Aarav while using internal energy in his punch
“ha- you predictable shit” said Aarav while easily avoiding and at the same time tripping Carleton.
Carleton fell on the floor with while hurting himself with his own punch, Aarav speed was very fast for Carleton to even notice.
While panting Carleton said “you fucker, everyone surround and beat the shit out of him, I will pay 10 gold coin to whosoever beats the shit out of him! They are all 3th and 4th stage, how will you save yourself trash?”.
While each of them rushed towards Aarav, he avoided them all without any bit of effort and even made each of them trip, some even ended hurting their ally as well.
“you fucker- stop there and let me show you the true power.”
Carleton took out Mid-grade Soul artifact, ‘Red-knuckles’ which can injure or sometime can even kill anyone below 6th stage of sprit realm.
Before he could attack, Elder Robion appeared and caught Carleton hands, he used soul pressure which suppressed them and they all went in a state of fear and it even became hard to breath.
“[System: Soul pressure detected, removing Negative status]”
Law helped Aarav to cope with the Soul pressure and elder Robion observed that Aarav was unaffected, while others were panting heavily.
“how dare you use force in my Hall? Don’t you know it’s banned to do that and of this I can even heavily punish you, and no one can stop me.” He said in a deep voice
“I-It’s w-wasn’t me E-Elder, i-it was Aarav who broke inside the hall, I asked him to leave but he attacked me, so I was just protecting myself, i-it was all self-defence.” Carleton said in a low tone.
“boy, he is already at 3rd stage of sprit realm so he does have all the Qualification’s to come here, and also you think I am not competent enough to stop intruders?”

A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.
