There were many libraries in the Heavenly Gates. There was one in the Combat Cultivation Hall, one in the Furnace Mountain in the Pill Refinery Hall, and one in the Creation Star Ring in the Weapon Refinery Hall. These were the foundations of the Three Great Halls and were exclusive libraries. However, other than these three, there was another even larger library in the Heavenly Gates. It was said that all the cultivation manuals, pill refinery, weapon refinery, and various other knowledge collections from all the civilizations in the Land were collected there. There was nothing that one could not think of!
However, the threshold to enter this place was very high.
Those who could enter and exit this place were the Heavenly Gates Elders and the overall supervisor. Ordinary supervisors had to make various applications to obtain extremely small reading privileges. Ordinary pupils from the Three Great Halls could forget about it. They did not even have the right to enter the Internal Gates, let alone the library in the Internal Gates. Only the Celestial Honors Class was a special circle of pupils. As the group of geniuses that the entire Heavenly Gates thought highly of and nurtured with all their might, they had the right to enter the Internal Gates' library.
This time, Superintendent Erza did not summon them, but the Celestial Honors Ring itself was an identification item. They could obtain permission to enter the Rainbow Glass River.
After passing through the Rainbow Glass River, they followed the directions on the map and headed straight to the library area.
This time, they did not teleport with the superintendent. The journey that did not seem very far actually took them more than an hour to walk and run. The Internal Gates was a very mystical place. Geographically speaking, this place only had a radius of a few dozen kilometers. However, because it was the source of the Heavenly River and was an important place in the Internal Gates, along with the support of the Rainbow Glass River, this place was like a special independent space. Looking from the outside, it only had an area of a few dozen kilometers, but the interior of this place spanned over a thousand kilometers. It was extremely vast.
Spatial studies were a type of cultivation rule, but they could also be quantified as a type of technological crystallization. Of course, only the Machinery race had the means to use this rule in a technological way. The mystical interior of the Internal Gates obviously had the shadow of the Machinery race.
The library in front of him was relatively far away from the Heavenly River that flowed in reverse. It was considered to be a rather remote place in the Inner Sanctum. Unlike the simple and unadorned palace that he had imagined, the entire library looked rather technological from the outside. There were many towering skyscrapers in this area. They had several hundred floors and were so tall that the tops could not be seen. Moreover, they were boundlessly wide. Each of the skyscrapers took up tens of acres of land. The spacing between the tall buildings was very wide, and there were flowing roads everywhere that extended in all directions. These paths of light also had their own mysteries to them. They seemed to be in a mess, but the different colors represented different paths. At the entrances, there were annotations of the different types of light, which led to the alchemy area, artifact forging area, history area, secret arts area, miscellaneous area … Each color represented a different category.
Almost every major classification of knowledge that Wang Zhong could imagine could be found on these guides. There were many that Wang Zhong didn't know about, and there were even many special regions that were only represented by mysterious codes, such as the region with an X at the beginning.
Back when he had received the Celestial Honors Ring, he had read the basic introduction of the library. These areas, which were divided by codes and letters, were all classified areas. They might be the storage of important information about the various races in the Land, or they might be used for research on special secret techniques. These places could not be casually entered. Of course, even if he wanted to, he would not be able to enter. The entire library was managed by the Machinery race, and the Machinery race were absolutely professional in dealing with all sorts of violators. Furthermore, each region had a corresponding barrier and guards. The weakest among them were Solid Core experts, and some important regions even had Gold Core experts standing guard at all times. This was truly an important place in the Inner Gates.
Lao Wang had only planned to come here today to broaden his horizons. The closest area to the entrance was the alchemy area. He followed the guidance of the red flowing light under his feet and walked over. A massive building that represented the alchemy area appeared in front of him.
He could sense the barrier energy around this massive building from afar. He could not explore with his divine sense, and his heaven-defying vision seemed to have become 'worse' here. The massive building that he could see was blurry, as if it was shrouded in hazy clouds. Wang Zhong walked closer and observed his surroundings. However, before he could even get close to the massive building, he was stopped by a shout.
"Human, this is an important place in the alchemy library. Idlers are not allowed to enter. Do not make a mistake!"
This voice was majestic and vast, and it spread far and wide. Wang Zhong looked up and saw three silver Titans. Each of them was holding a three-pronged silver halberd. They stood in front of him with solemn expressions and blocked his path.
They were the guards of the library. In the entire Heavenly Gates, other than those who had special applications, they were very familiar with the people who had the qualifications to enter and exit this place. They had never seen Wang Zhong before, so it was very normal for them to block him. Lao Wang could sense that their strength was around the high or peak Solid Core level. If experts with this level of strength were released to the outside world, they would definitely be bosses. However, they were only guards here.
Wang Zhong smiled and stretched out his hand to gently brush it over his finger. He removed the invisibility ability of the Celestial Honors Ring. "Big Brother Titan, can I enter with this?"
After all, his impression of the Titans had always been very good. Perhaps it was because they were supervisors, but Lao Wang was rather polite.
The three silver Titans were slightly dumbfounded, and their eyeballs obviously flickered.
Of course, they recognized the Celestial Honors Ring. It was a hard proof that allowed one to enter most treasures and was much more useful than the identity of most supervisors. As for the members of the Celestial Honors Class …
"You are the legendary …"
"Master Wang Zhong?" The expression of the leading Titan turned slightly solemn. He had recently heard many rumors about this human in the Internal Gates.
The Celestial Honors Class had a special status in the Heavenly Gates. They could be seen as the future leaders of the Heavenly Gates. Thus, other than the group of higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates, most of the other people who served in the Heavenly Gates respectfully addressed the pupils of the Celestial Honors Class as Masters.
"Master Wang Zhong, this is your first time here, so you are not familiar with the place, right? This way, please. I will lead the way for you," said the silver Titan leader respectfully.
Firstly, this was because of Wang Zhong's identity as a Master of the Celestial Honors Class. Secondly, it was because of Wang Zhong's reputation in the Internal Gates. Over the past few days, news of him had spread throughout the Internal Gates. It was not that a new member of the Celestial Honors Class would shock the various bosses in the Internal Gates. Most importantly, there were only a handful of people who could enter the Celestial Honors Class at the Void Core Realm, even in the entire history of the Heavenly Gates. They were like oil dripping into water and were out of place.
He pointed the trident in his hand slightly, and a small crack seemed to have appeared in the space in front of him. The originally hazy and massive building became abnormally clear through this crack. Furthermore, unlike the standard cylindrical buildings seen outside, this massive building was extremely magnificent and dazzling with golden light. Every window on the tall building was very particular and ingenious. Furthermore, they were of different shapes, as if they had formed some kind of complex rune structure. There were faint traces of rules all over them.
When he walked into the massive building, he saw that the entire floor was a ring-shaped open hall. Just a single floor was 20 meters tall, and the entire hall was filled with bookshelves. There were also tall stairs beside the bookshelves. After all, some low-leveled pupils would receive special rewards and have the right to enter and borrow books. Some ordinary Void Cores and even Foundational Stage experts would not be able to fly up to read the books placed on the bookshelves that were 20 meters tall amidst the spiritual pressure in the Internal Gates … The silver Titan only brought him in.
There was another elder from the Natural race at the door to receive him. This elder had transformed into a human form and had an abnormally thick beard. He should be a plant spirit from the Natural race. However, one could not tell his true form from his appearance. His strength was average and was at the Solid Core Realm, but he was probably not a combat type. He was the administrator of the pill studies area on the first few floors.
"Master Wang Zhong, there are a total of 72 floors in the pill studies area." The administrator smiled and introduced. "With Master Wang Zhong's authority, you can borrow books from the first 30 floors without any restrictions. If you want to take a book out of the library, you will need to pay a deposit and a fee. However, if you want to directly read the books in the library, there is no fee.
"This is only the first floor. There are over 1.398 billion books in the collection. Most of the books in the east and west areas are level-9 prescriptions, and there are over 730 million prescriptions. Meanwhile, the books in the south and north areas are introductory pill studies books. Of course, they are precious handwritten copies or annotated versions by historical Great Masters. Ordinary versions do not have the right to be included in the library. Of course, there are also various miscellaneous pill studies, interesting pill studies stories, pill studies history, and some Great Masters' sayings. These seem like things that you are interested in, but in reality, when you reach a bottleneck in pill studies, they will become the key to breaking through the bottleneck. It will also be easier for you to experience the paths that pill studies Great Masters have taken. This will provide a considerable amount of inspiration for your own pill studies cultivation. If Master Wang Zhong is interested, there is no harm in reading more of these books. "
Lao Wang widened his eyes when he heard this.
There were a total of 72 floors in the pill studies area. Just the first floor contained 1.3 billion books? It was no wonder that such a large room was needed. There were books densely packed on the surrounding bookshelves. Those with trypophobia would probably faint on the spot if they looked at them. Based on this calculation, there were probably hundreds of billions of books in the pill studies area on the 72 floors! Furthermore, all of them were classics. Furthermore, just the level-9 prescriptions on the first floor contained 730 million prescriptions? Lao Wang thought that he had started pill refinery. In the past, he had followed Uncle Sea to the pill market, but he had not heard of more than 100 types of level-9 pills. However, there were 730 million level-9 prescriptions here, and this was only the first floor. According to the administrator, the first 10 floors above all contained level-9 prescriptions, and there were close to 10 billion of them! With his current authority in the Celestial Honors Class, he could borrow the first 30 floors, but he could only casually look at the prescriptions for level-6 pills … Were there so many pills in the Land?
"The same pills have different prescriptions. For example, there are over 3,600 different prescriptions for the level-9 Vitality Supplement Pill in the library. Furthermore, all of them have their own characteristics and are not the same. They are all relatively outstanding improved versions of treasured pills." The white-bearded administrator had worked here for an unknown period of time. In terms of understanding of the books here, even the Pill Refinery Hall Elders could not compare to him. "Thus, it is very important to learn how to choose."
After following the administrator around and listening to him talk about the various general knowledge in the library, Lao Wang had a rough idea of what was going on. The Elder seemed to be very close to Wang Zhong and pointed out a key point to Wang Zhong. The ranking of the practical areas was at the front, and there would be a small comma-like symbol at the end of the serial number of the practical books. This proved that these were relatively outstanding ideas and methods that had been verified at the moment. The rest were mostly used as historical records or for research on some difficult and complicated diseases.
The authority of the members of the Celestial Honors Class was rather high. Within the Heavenly Gates, even the Elders only had unlimited authority to borrow books from the first 30 floors of the library. The high-leveled pill studies books after that all involved level-6 pill studies and above. Firstly, they were extremely precious. Secondly, many of them did not completely belong to the Heavenly Gates. Instead, they were the accumulation and aggregation of pill studies knowledge from all the civilizations and races in the Star Alliance.
The Heavenly Gates' management of pill studies and above level-6 was rather strict. On the contrary, there were very few restrictions on those who were level-7 and below. On the surface, it was forbidden to spread this knowledge to outsiders, but this was mainly to prevent books from being stolen. If you learned knowledge and taught it to others, as long as you did not brazenly do it with great fanfare, the Heavenly Gates would not investigate. Even if they knew, they would turn a blind eye. After all, things below level-7 were not considered particularly precious. They were things that the various top powers definitely had. It was just that they were not as abundant. Furthermore, which one of the people who had the authority to enter the Inner Gates library was an ordinary person? Most people would not take a fancy to this little hidden benefit.
But Lao Wang took a fancy to it. These low-leveled things were what the Earth urgently lacked … Of course, there was no need to be anxious now. It was said that not a single Earthling with natural endowments in pill refinery had been discovered by Uncle Sea in the Heavenly Treasures Street. When he thought about it, this made sense. Most Earthlings were still working hard to adapt to the spiritual pressure. Pill refinery would definitely be a matter for the future.
Wang Zhong chose the practical pill studies section. Pill prescriptions were a matter for him after he had natural endowments in pill refinery. The first and most basic section was a beginner-level 'Pill Studies Annotations'. Lao Wang was immersed in it. Very quickly … he was unable to extricate himself.
The seemingly ordinary pill studies knowledge and basics could give rise to various unimaginable new ideas in the Great God's annotations. It was similar to the introductory annotations of pill studies that Yan Moyu had given him. Furthermore, in terms of scope and the accuracy of the annotations, Wang Zhong simply crushed Yan Moyu by 10 streets. This person explained complicated pill studies in an extremely simple and thorough manner. He even explained how to adjust the method of entering one's pill according to one's natural endowments. There were high and low abilities, but in short, everything had a pill!
After Lao Wang finished reading, he was filled with emotions. He felt as if many pill refinery inspirations were surging in his heart. He knew that this was because he was too much of a 'novice', which was why he had gained so much. He could not help but look at the inscription of this annotation. It suddenly read 'Pill Addict Nine Lanterns'.
