Two hours later, the ice- cold woman led the group to receive their 'Raindragon Guard medallions', then led them to an exquisite palace.
This palace was more than three hundred meters tall, and it took up an area of three thousand meters. Compared to the other palaces within the Crimson Dragon Mountains, this palace wasn't particularly large, but it was the most heavily guarded. Zhou Tong could vaguely sense that there were quite a few Void-level Earth Immortals standing guard here.
"This is the Daozang Palace. You can go in and take a look, but spirit-beasts are forbidden from entering!" The icy voice rang out.
Everyone impatiently entered the Daozang Palace. Wasn't this the reason why they had joined the Raindragon Guard? The truly alluring things of the Raindragon Guard were the various techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts which the Grand Xia Dynasty had accumulated over countless years.
"There are 360 Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques, but only three Pure Yang-ranked ones …" Zhou Tong found a book which introduced the various divine abilities and techniques here.
Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques were created by Celestial Immortals. Training in techniques of this level could completely establish one's foundation as a Celestial Immortal. As for Pure Yang-ranked Ki Refining techniques, they were created by Pure Yang True Immortals. The ki produced by these techniques was much denser and purer than the ki produced by Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques.
The most obvious difference between Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques and Pure Yang-ranked Ki Refining techniques was the amount of liquefied elemental essence required to reach the peak of the Zifu level.
Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques generally required 400 to 1500 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence. As for Pure Yang-ranked Ki Refining techniques, they required 2000 to 1500 kilograms.
However, Zhou Tong himself trained in the [Immortal Immolation Manual], which was superior to Pure Yang-ranked Ki Refining techniques. This technique of his required 4500 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence at the Zifu level to reach the peak. As for Zhou Tong himself, he had exceeded the limit, using up 6000 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence.
It could be said that Zhou Tong's ki was one of the best in the Three Realms.
Thus, Zhou Tong didn't pay too much attention to these techniques. He only memorized the names of some of the techniques, so that in the future, if he had the chance, he would exchange them for reference.
"Haha. Ordinary Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques. Ordinary Raindragon Guards require ten thousand karmic points to exchange for them, while Inner Raindragon Guards only require a hundred karmic points. The difference is a hundred times! "Zhou Tong smiled when he saw the exchange conditions.
"The Great Xia Dynasty truly has a deep foundation!" After Zhou Tong entered the first level of the Daozang Palace, he immediately took a quick look around.
This floor was basically filled with Qi Refinement manuals or secret techniques.
Soon, Zhou Tong reached the second floor.
"Eighty-nine divine abilities, and more than half of them can only be learned by Raindragon Inner Guards!" Zhou Tong looked at the divine abilities one by one, feeling somewhat envious.
Although he had acquired the treasures of a Celestial Immortal, the divine abilities which the Celestial Immortal had amassed were simply too weak. What's more, they were all ordinary divine abilities which didn't require one to be a Keeper of the Raindragon Guard. They were far inferior to some of the truly powerful divine abilities here.
"If my suspicions are correct, the previous owner of that Immortal estate which I visited in the wild marshes of the Gaol Mountains was most likely a Celestial Immortal who was a Ki Refiner and also trained as a Fiendgod Body Refiner. It is very likely that he had reached the Void-level or Earth Immortal level." Zhou Tong thought back to what he had seen and heard in the Immortal estate, and this was what he thought to himself.
In the Three Realms, Fiendgod Body Refiners were far more powerful than Ki Refiners. Void-level Earth Immortals were comparable to Celestial Immortals in terms of combat power, while Empyrean Gods were comparable to Pure Yang True Immortals.
Zhou Tong continued to browse through the second floor of the Daozang Palace. Towards the end, he saw a divine ability which was one of the most valuable treasures here; the [Torch Dragon's Eye].
The [Torch Dragon's Eye] was a divine ability which required one to gather the aurora light of the Nine Heavens into one's eyes, then refine it into a 'Lifeblood Torch'. This divine ability was neither defensive, long-distance, nor close combat. Instead, it was an extremely powerful support-type ability. It could be said that this divine ability was a peerless divine ability which all divine archers could only dream of acquiring.
However, this divine ability could only be acquired by the Keepers of the Raindragon Clan, and it required ten million karmic points in exchange.
"Ten million karmic points … this is nothing more than a pie in the sky … unless some sort of world-shaking war occurs, how many tens of thousands of years would it take to accumulate so much karmic points? With so much time, wouldn't it be better to spend it on training? "Zhou Tong shook his head.
Anyone capable of accumulating ten million karmic points would definitely be a peerless expert. For the sake of a mere [Torch Dragon's Eye] divine ability, anyone would be willing to sell themselves to the Grand Xia and work for so many years for nothing. Anyone would know that such a thing was unreliable.
When a leader talked about his dreams, that was when he would act like a thug.
The [Torch Dragon's Eye] divine ability was nothing more than a pie in the sky.
The strangest thing of all was that the [Torch Dragon's Eye] was only half complete.
"Although the Xia Emperor's master was Chi Ming Daozu, the creator of a Fiendgod Body Refining technique, the [Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens], in the end, he was just a Pure Yang True Immortal who was a Ki Refiner. Thus, in terms of Fiendgod Body Refining divine abilities, the Grand Xia doesn't have much of a foundation. "Zhou Tong mused to himself.
He suspected that the Grand Xia's foundation in terms of Fiendgod Body Refining was inferior to his own Starseizing Manor.
But of course, right now, he wasn't qualified to acquire all of the treasures of the Starseizing Manor. Only after becoming an Empyrean God would he be able to unlock all of the legacies and treasures of the Starseizing Manor.
Soon, Zhou Tong had skimmed through all of the manuals within the Daozang Palace. He now had a general idea of what was here.
360 Immortal-ranked Ki Refining techniques. Three Pure Yang Refining techniques.
89 divine abilities.
There were sixty-one Divine Will secret techniques.
There were 102 types of forbidden secret techniques.
… …
Soon, a group of people walked out.
The woman who had led them over said, "If you join our Raindragon Guard, you will soar into the heavens. The earlier you join, the easier it will be for you to acquire divine abilities that will change your destiny. Is there anyone willing to join? "
Zhou Tong didn't think too much about it. He immediately walked out and said, "I'm willing to join!"
"It's that Xiantian Fiendgod. He actually sold himself so decisively!"
"Aren't Xiantian Fiendgods supposed to be wild and untamed? Why would he so quickly decide to sell himself to someone else? "
"This fellow is an unaffiliated cultivator. He was born at the Xiantian level. He didn't belong to any school or clan to begin with. Of course he'd join the Raindragon Guard. Unfortunately, I have a clan to rebuild."
The others, upon seeing Zhou Tong step forward, revealed looks of surprise.
Xiantian Fiendgods were quite the topic of discussion, especially since this was no longer the era when the universe had just been created.
In the vast world of the Grand Xia, most likely, it would take a hundred years for a single Xiantian Fiendgod to be born.
"I'll join as well!" Soon, a fatty stepped forward as well.
"Me too!" A third person stepped forward as well.
After waiting for a long time, in the end, only three people stepped forward, preparing to join the Raindragon Guard.
Seeing that no one else was willing to step forward, the woman said, "After joining the Raindragon Guard, your clan will be able to carve out a territory of ten thousand kilometers around you, allowing that territory to be protected by the Raindragon Guard. Even if you die, the Raindragon Guard will protect that territory for a thousand years. All of you, go register. "
"The three of you, follow me."
