Chapter 1471: Top of the tower
None of these books were normal at all.
They gave off the same feeling that was only slightly inferior to the one that Ye Qing Huan gave off. However, that wasn’t surprising since the cultivation technique that Ye Qing Huan cultivated was one that had sustained the Heavenly Demon Sect for years.
If the aura of these books was just slightly below that, then they would be considered treasures in any of the Five Great Sects.
No, since the four righteous sects were considered lower than the Heavenly Demon Sect, it could even be said that these were on the same level as the core cultivation techniques as the four righteous sects.
With how many books there were here, it was an absolutely shocking sight.
Though it wasn’t as if cultivation techniques alone meant that one would be able to become a powerful cultivator.
It all depended on one’s aptitude and how much they would be able to gain from the cultivation technique.
However, with all of these different cultivation techniques, there was no doubt that one of them would be a hit.
Even if less than 1% of all of these cultivation techniques were a hit, it would still be more than enough to support a giant sect that could rule over all of the other sects.
With this alone, it would be more than enough to support the Heavenly Demon Sect in the future.
However, Lin Fan didn’t reach forward to take any of these techniques.
Instead, there was something else that he wanted from the fairy.
"Is there another floor?"
The moment that the fairy heard this, she said with a sigh, "That’s right, there’s another floor." Then after a pause, the fairy added, "I don’t recommend it since that floor is something completely different. That floor is reserved for those that were supposed to carry on the will of the entire Dao Sect. It’s not a place that’s easily entered."
Lin Fan could guess what the fairy meant by that, but it wasn’t as if he had come this far just to turn back now.
So in the end, Lin Fan just said, "I still want to take a look at it."
The only thing that the fairy could do was give a sigh.
It wasn’t as if she was there to stop people from taking the tests, but she had spoken up since she liked Lin Fan’s group.
However, if Lin Fan insisted on going through with this, it really wasn’t as if the fairy would stop him. He was someone that was more than capable of making his own decisions, even if she felt that he might regret them.
With a wave of her hand, the same thing happened where there was a set of stairs that appeared.
Only this time, it didn’t seem like Ye Qing Huan or Xiao Mu were allowed to come along. When they tried to step through, they found that there was something that was placed there that blocked them.
"Let us through." Ye Qing Huan said in a simple and direct manner.
It sounded like she was saying this in a calm voice, but the hidden tone made it very clear what she was thinking. In fact, it was almost as if she was threatening the fairy if she didn’t let her through.
But it wasn’t as if the fairy was scared of Ye Qing Huan in the first place.
Seeing this, Ye Qing Huan raised her hand and her weapon appeared as if she was about to attack.
The fairy also calmly raised her hand, but it didn’t seem like she would take action unless Ye Qing Huan did.
With a sigh, Lin Fan said, "Don’t you trust me? Let me handle this on my own."
Though Ye Qing Huan didn’t oppose this with her words, the look in her eyes made it clear that she would have rather gone along with him. It was more for her own sake rather than for his sake.
But in the end, Lin Fan was able to convince Ye Qing Huan to calm down.
After convincing her to calm down, he followed the fairy up the stairs.
Though thinking about it, it didn’t make sense that Xiao Mu was stopped as well. After all, Xiao Mu was a puppet that belonged to the Dao Sect in the first place.
Since Xiao Mu was a puppet that was affiliated to the Dao Sect, there shouldn’t have been anything that would have kept it out of any place in the Dao Sect.
That was unless that place was very special that only certain people in the Dao Sect could access.
This realization made Lin Fan feel that he might have bitten off more than he could chew. However, it was already too late for him to turn back since he was already following the fairy up.
When they arrived on the fourth floor, this place was much different from the other floors.
This was a small room rather than a large room like the other floors had been.
Though in terms of space, the second floor had been smaller than the first floor and the third floor had been smaller than the second floor. It was just that this difference was so small that one normally wouldn’t have noticed this.
However, it was very evident with this fourth floor.
The fourth floor wasn’t even a fourth of the size of the third floor.
But there was certainly a reason for this.
Lin Fan couldn’t feel the full aura of the cultivation techniques that were kept here, but he could feel traces of it leaking out. Even if there was some kind of barrier here that prevented him from feeling the full aura, it wasn’t strong enough to stop these traces from coming out.
It really was hard to stop these cultivation techniques from showing just how special they were.
Once they had arrived, the other thing that Lin Fan noticed was that there was only a single table that was here.
It seemed like this was a test that only a single person would be able to take, which did help explain why Ye Qing Huan and Xiao Mu had been kept out by the barrier.
The fairy didn’t say anything as she brought over the test for Lin Fan and then she started the incense without even waiting for him to prepare himself.
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a wry smile when he saw this.
He knew that she didn’t expect anything from him, which was why she was acting this way.
Lin Fan didn’t really expect anything from himself either, so it wasn’t as if he was offended. The only reason that he was doing this was because it seemed like it would have been a waste if he turned back after coming this far.
Only when he turned to the back as per usual, he found that there were the same questions about mana there.
Those questions were considered free questions for him since there was no way that the Dao Sect’s knowledge would have surpassed his own. His came from the very source of mana, so there was no one that could have surpassed him.
Well, other than the god that gave him this skill in the first place.
Then when he went to answer the questions, he found that he was still able to answer them. Though this time, it seemed like he struggled a bit with these questions since they were nowhere as simple as before.
But in the end... ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Time’s up."
Lin Fan didn’t mind as he put down the piece of paper.
He was actually quite assured in himself since he had been able to answer all of the questions that had been on the test. In fact, he had finished so early that he had been able to review them.
So it wasn’t as if he was going to fail that easily.
"You pass."
It didn’t even seem like the fairy had bothered reading his test answers with how quickly she said this.
Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a wry smile when he heard this, but he didn’t question it. Rather, he just waited to see what the fairy would give him for passing this test.
With a wave of her hand, the barrier disappeared and the aura of the cultivation techniques in this room hit him.
When it did, he couldn’t help taking a step back.
This was indeed on a completely different level.
It was almost as if he was being smothered with how oppressive it was.
But that stopped when the fairy raised her hand once more to stop the cultivation techniques from releasing their aura.
It wasn’t that she was stopping Lin Fan from taking something, it was that she didn’t want him to be crushed by this aura before being able to make a choice. This small sneak peek was enough to give him an idea of what kind of cultivation techniques these were.
After a moment of pause, Lin Fan asked, "Are these all mine or..."
The fairy laughed when she heard this before saying, "Do you think that it would be that simple to take all of these things? If you could take these with just a test, then the Dao Sect would have fallen a long time ago, don’t you think?"
Lin Fan didn’t mind the tone that she said this with since he knew that she was right.
In the end, the fairy just said, "You can take two of them based on the answers that you’ve given. That’s the maximum that I’m allowed to give you."
