Almost at the same time, someone from each of the Ninety-Nine Grotto-Heavens went to spread the news.
Wutian's identity and strength, in a moment, was known by everyone, causing an uproar.
Those who had never seen him wanted to know what he looked like. Those who had seen him wanted to know who he was.
Therefore, rumors about Wutian's identity spread.
Some said that he was the grandson of the Grand Elder, some said that he was the illegitimate son of the Sect Leader, and some said that he was the descendant of some ancient beast. Otherwise, how could he kill so many ancient beasts?
As the person involved, he had no idea about these rumors. He pulled the little girl and went straight to the Scripture Depository.
There was a stone pagoda in front of them. It had nine levels and was not more than a hundred feet tall. It was made from the essence of iron rock. It was simple and unadorned. Dust fell off the surface of the pagoda.
This was a very ordinary pagoda. However, there was a solemn and dignified aura around it. It made people feel respect for it!
There were no buildings, flowers, or trees within a radius of a thousand feet. There was only one stone tower in the center, making it seem especially spacious. From this, it could be seen that the tower's position in the sect was absolutely incomparably sacred.
This was the most important place in the Sect. Naturally, it would not be so simple. There were dozens of men in black armour around the stone pagoda. They were tall and straight and had solemn expressions. They carefully observed the surroundings. As long as there was any movement, they would go and check it out.
Everyone's aura was very strong. It was completely beyond the range of the Rebirth Stage. The only explanation was that they were all Channel Opening Stage cultivators.
These people were all senior disciples who had cultivated for dozens of years. In order to repay the Sect's kindness, they volunteered to guard the stone pagoda. This required great perseverance.
Because this pagoda was the lifeline of the Sect, it had to be guarded at all times. They could not relax at all. Moreover, they had to guard it for life. Their actions were really admirable!
Of course, they did not guard it all the time. If this continued for a long time, even iron would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, there would be a change every day.
On one hand, they guarded the stone pagoda to prevent people with ulterior motives. On the other hand, they could obtain great merits. Moreover, the disciples who guarded the stone pagoda had another privilege. They could enter the Scripture Depository once a year for free.
"What do you think? Not bad, right?" Han Tian asked.
He had shamelessly tagged along. What a joke! With so many merits, if he didn't come and take advantage of them, wouldn't he be letting down the sect, letting down his master, and letting down his own conscience?!
The Scripture Depository was the holy land of the sect. No matter what rank a disciple was, they had to rely on their merits to enter. There was no backdoor, not even personal disciples.
Wutian wasn't stingy, but he wasn't very generous either. He only gave out 1,000 contribution points.
Shan Youde and the others wanted to follow them, but they were chased away by Han Tian. What kind of people are they? Are they familiar with you? They are not your godfather. Why are they following you? Shameless people who try to pull strings!
Wutian didn't tell him that Shan Youde was an unscrupulous Daoist. The right hand of the God of Heaven was too important. If one was already so powerful, then how terrifying would the combination of two be?
If Han Tian knew about this, he would definitely find trouble with Shan Youde. At that time, the right hand of the God of Heaven might be taken away by him. The loss outweighed the gain.
"Not bad!" Wutian replied indifferently.
The little girl pursed her lips and said, "It's not that great. Compared to my house, it's a lot worse. It's just that I haven't seen it for many years. I can't remember what it looks like."
"What? Many years? Could it be that you were kidnapped by Wutian when you were born? "Wutian said in surprise.
"What are you talking about? I don't like it. Don't expect me to catch a spiritual pet for you in the future." The little girl turned her head and looked away. Her big eyes had a different expression.
Wutian patted her head and comforted her. He knew a little about the little girl. The home she mentioned was definitely not the Angel Peak. It might be the home where she was born.
They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. It slowly disappeared from his memory and became a strange place.
"Roar!"
The Golden Lightning Leopard growled and turned to look at the little girl. Its golden eyes had a gentle expression as if it was comforting her. It meant, 'Don't be afraid, I'm still here.'
"Little Leopard Leopard, be good …"
The three of them and the Golden Lightning Leopard passed through a winding path and arrived in front of the stone pagoda.
Suddenly, an obscure and heavy aura shrouded them, causing them to be alarmed. The Golden Lightning Leopard carried the little girl and retreated a few meters with a grave look in its eyes.
Three large black words were carved on the top of the stone pagoda. The aura came from these three words. Wutian's pupils shrank. It was as if he could see a golden dragon soaring in the sky, a phoenix dancing in a sea of flames, and ten thousand beasts roaring in the sky. The aura was majestic and intimidating.
"How terrifying!"
"Who are you?" A black-armored man took two steps forward and shouted. His face was covered in armor, so it was impossible to see clearly. Only a pair of pitch-black eyes could be seen.
Wutian cupped his hands and said, "I'm a disciple of the sect. I'm entering the Scripture Pavilion to study secret manuals."
"Do you have a thousand contribution points?" The black-armored man was very serious and didn't smile.
Wutian took out a contribution token and tossed it over. "The three of you, enter."
The black-armored man caught it and looked. His expression changed slightly but returned to normal in an instant. He tapped it lightly with his finger and a faint light rose. Then, he tossed it over. He didn't show any respect for Wutian's identity. There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.
"Three thousand contribution points have been deducted. The three of you may enter. Golden Lightning Leopard, stay!"
The black-armored man turned around and waved his hand. A gray light shot out and merged with the stone pagoda's stone door. Immediately, there was a rumbling sound as the stone door slowly opened. It was like a chariot rolling over the sky.
"You may enter. Remember, you only have two hours!" The black-armored man said and returned to his original position.
"Many thanks!" Wutian cupped his fists.
He carried Shishi down and signaled the Golden Lightning Leopard to wait here. Then, the three of them strode into the stone pagoda.
"Senior Brother Ye Chen, he's the one who killed Gongzi Yu. How can you let him in so easily?" A black-armored man said.
Ye Chen said, "Although Gongzi Yu was my cousin, he didn't handle things properly and offended many personal disciples. He would have died sooner or later. Moreover, I've heard about the situation. This person originally didn't intend to kill him. He can only blame himself for harboring evil intentions and targeting the sister of a titular disciple. He deserved to die. I can't offend the titular disciples and the First Elder because of this scum. "
"Senior Brother Ye Chen is magnanimous. I admire you!"
"Stop talking. Everyone, cheer up. The sect master and the ten great elders aren't around. We have to be vigilant at all times to protect the safety of the Scripture Pavilion." At this point, Ye Chen had a heavy heart and his expression was solemn.
Another black-armored man said, "Senior Brother Ye, what are the ten great elders and the sect doing? The Third Elder is your father. Don't you know anything? "
Ye Chen shook his head. However, he had a bad feeling that something big was about to happen.
Back to Wutian.
The three of them walked into the Scripture Pavilion and the huge stone door closed automatically. A scholarly aura immediately assaulted them. All they could see were bookshelves with books neatly arranged on them.
There were too many books. The space was about a thousand feet, but they were filled with bookshelves. The distance between them was just enough for a person to pass through. This place was like a sea of books.
Wutian was stunned. This was too scary. In the Dragon Village, it was difficult to get a secret manual. But here, there were so many of them. There were at least nine hundred if not a thousand.
"As expected of a sect!" Wutian sighed.
Han Tian was already used to it. He warned, "This is the foundation that countless seniors have worked hard for over a thousand years and even lost their lives in exchange. Be gentle. Don't break it."
Wutian took down a book. The cover was spotless but there were traces of tatters. Clearly, it had been around for many years and was often flipped through by disciples.
Opening the book, it only recorded some ordinary techniques. Wutian lost interest after reading a few. This kind of vulgar stuff was of no help to him at all.
"Don't be disappointed. The first floor only has low-tier secret manuals. The second floor has medium-tier secret manuals. The third floor has high-tier secret manuals. With your level, you should go to the third floor. As for Little Munchkin …"
At this point, Han Tian was depressed. The little girl had never cultivated and her level was unknown. He really did not know what to introduce to Shishi. However, she had a rare Light Spirit Body. It would be a waste of her talent to cultivate ordinary secret manuals.
He looked at Wutian and the latter shrugged. It was obvious that he did not know either.
Han Tian held his chin and thought for a while. "Just walk around and see if there's anything suitable. Remember not to break it."
The little girl looked around and wrung her hands. She lowered her head and said, "Brother, I want a spell …"
"What?" Han Tian's eyes widened. "You haven't even reached the Channel Opening Stage. What do you want a spell for?"
"To cultivate!" The little girl answered seriously.
Han Tian was stunned for a while. He was speechless. In the end, he helplessly said, "Go, go. As long as you can enter."
The little girl smiled, revealing her pure white rabbit teeth. "Scoundrel, you're a good person now! Brother, let's go. "
She pulled Wutian and skipped up the stairs, leaving behind a stunned Han Tian who kept muttering.
"I'm a good person? Finally a good person? That's not right! I've always been a good person. Little girl, stop right there! " Han Tian chased after her and scolded, "What bullshit are you talking about now? I've always been a good person. It's just that you little thing called me a bad person."
"Hee hee!" The little girl stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Relatively speaking, there were fewer books on the second floor. It was much more spacious than the first floor.
The three of them did not stop and went straight to the third floor. There were fewer books here. There were only four bookshelves on the four sides. The other three were empty. Only one bookshelf had books neatly arranged. There should be about a hundred books. After all, they were high-tier secret manuals and were relatively rare.
Han Tian said, "High-tier secret manuals are relatively rare, so there are very few sects. However, they're several times stronger than mid-tier secret manuals."
Wutian flipped through a few books and nodded slightly. Then, he put them back on the bookshelf. These high-tier secret manuals were not bad. However, whether it was the moves or the cultivation methods, they all increased one's strength. This was not what he wanted.
What he wanted were secret manuals that could temper the body.
Before the Rebirth Stage, he had to temper his body to perfection. If he cultivated at his usual speed, he did not know how long he would have to wait. Therefore, he had to find a secret manual that could temper the body. He could not always dream of obtaining a treasure like the Desolate Heavenly Scorpion embryo.
