Yan Zhaoge was actually more interested in the legendary fourth floor, because the supreme martial arts of Broad Creed Mountain's lineage were stored there.
Other than the lower half of the Clear Qi Profound Art, there were also Broad Creed Mountain's three supreme martial arts that were renowned throughout the Eight Extremities World.
However, according to the rules, only the sect leader and the first seat elder of the tower could freely enter and exit the fourth floor of the Arsenal Scripture Tower.
Everyone else, including Yan Zhaoge's father Yan Di, Fang Zhun, Shi Tie and even the Grand Elders, were also not allowed to enter as they pleased. They could only do so with Yuan Zhengfeng's special permission or together with him.
With the potential that Yan Zhaoge had currently displayed, it was only a matter of time before he was allowed to enter the fourth level.
According to the usual practice, one had to reach the Great Grandmaster Realm.
"Actually, I'm more interested in the fourth level." Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "Let's see how far the peak martial arts of the Eight Extremities World have developed."
Although the books of the Divine Palace were all-encompassing and profound.
However, Yan Zhaoge had always paid great attention to assimilating into his environment. This way, cultivating in and familiarizing himself with Broad Creed Mountain's direct lineage martial arts had become something that he could not do without.
Having obtained permission to enter the third level of the Martial Repository this time to select a martial art, Yan Zhaoge had long since had a plan in mind.
It was one of the Eight Extreme Arts, the Wind-Fire Calamities.
The Wind Tribulation was a movement technique, while the Fire Tribulation was an explosive force exertion technique. When both of them were cultivated to a certain level, a martial artist's speed could reach an astonishing level.
Basically, every Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioner would choose to cultivate in the Wind Fire Tribulations sooner or later in their cultivation.
Generally speaking, the more powerful a martial artist was, the more ferocious his fighting style would be. His movement technique would not be too bad.
If he couldn't beat his opponent, he could escape. If he could beat his opponent, he could chase after his opponent if he wanted to.
In actual combat, many martial arts needed to be coordinated with one's movement technique in order to display their greatest might, and one wouldn't be toyed around like a wooden stake.
Of course, some martial arts that used stillness to counteract and clumsiness to break technique were not within the scope of this discussion.
Yan Zhaoge was proficient in many powerful force exertion techniques as well as movement techniques. Choosing the Wind and Fire Calamities seemed to overlap a little.
But it wasn't a waste.
It was precisely with the concealment of the Wind and Fire Tribulations that Yan Zhaoge could display so many techniques without any reservations.
After all, to Yan Zhaoge, profound martial arts had never been lacking. Moreover, the Wind Fire Calamities themselves were not bad either.
Moreover, the density and flow of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth were different before and after the world's destruction.
Cultivating in the scriptures of the Divine Palace of pre-Great Calamity times as well as the newly developed martial arts of post-Great Calamity times would instead be more beneficial to Yan Zhaoge's progress.
"The quality of the Wind and Fire Calamities is actually quite good." Yan Zhaoge nodded satisfactorily as he pondered, "The Wind Tribulation can be coordinated with the Aura Wind Heaven Warping Technique of the Divine Palace, while the Fire Tribulation can be coordinated with the Mighty Ape Demonic Fist of the Six Spirit Demonic Fists."
"Hmm, the Howling Wind Stance of the Roaring Tiger Demonic Fist Art can also be combined with the Wind Tribulation Movement."
"Let me think, the combination of these two martial arts seems to be able to produce a completely new transformation …"
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge calmed his mind, preparing to leave.
Looking at the Martial Repository before him, Yan Zhaoge's gaze was slightly dazed.
While it was incomparable to the Divine Palace's scripture repository, a similar structure would always make Yan Zhaoge recall the scene of him being in the Divine Palace's Martial Repository the first time he had come to this world.
"What exactly was that tribulation of the Great Calamity that year?" Yan Zhaoge pondered.
The scene of the heavens and the earth seemingly being destroyed was eternally engraved in Yan Zhaoge's heart.
Even after his rebirth, it had always been affecting him, spurring him to unceasingly advance, striving to become stronger.
Because he didn't know if that terrifying tribulation of the heavens and the earth would descend once more.
The fluctuations within Yan Zhaoge's gaze gradually subsided, becoming tranquil once more.
"Forging iron requires one's own toughness, unceasingly increasing one's strength. At the same time, one also has to try and understand what exactly happened during that great tribulation that year," Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, "Grasping with both hands, both hands have to be tough ah …"
As compared to the people of this world, as someone who had personally experienced the great tribulation that year, Yan Zhaoge knew much more.
In that tribulation of the Great Calamity that year, the possibility of it being a man-made disaster was more than a natural disaster …
It was precisely because of this that the sense of urgency and desire to explore within Yan Zhaoge's heart was also stronger than that of others.
Yan Zhaoge's fingers lightly tapped on the bookshelf as he involuntarily raised his head, gazing towards the fourth level of the Martial Repository up above, "Broad Creed Mountain's legacy is extremely ancient, even being somewhat related to the Divine Palace of the past. Perhaps some clues have been left behind."
"Zhaoge?" Suddenly hearing someone call out to him, Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head, seeing a handsome youth appear before him.
The newcomer was around twenty-five or twenty-six years of age, his features somewhat similar to the King of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, Zhao Shicheng.
He was dressed in white with a blue robe on the outside, dressed in the attire of an elite disciple of Broad Creed Mountain. He did not have Zhao Shicheng's steadiness, instead appearing a little wild and flamboyant.
It was Zhao Shicheng's fourth son, Zhao Ming, who had officially entered Broad Creed Mountain to learn martial arts.
Of Zhao Shicheng's many sons, Yan Zhaoge was the most familiar with him.
"Brother, you've performed a great meritorious deed?" Seeing him, Yan Zhaoge smiled.
Elite disciples like Zhao Ming could freely enter the first level of the Martial Repository, and those who had performed a rather large meritorious deed would be rewarded with a chance to enter the second level of the Martial Repository.
Generally speaking, it would be very difficult to get a chance to enter the third level of the Martial Repository.
Zhao Ming said, "Don't laugh at me, Zhaoge; I know very well that the reward this time was because of Royal Father."
Zhao Shicheng had strongly supported Broad Creed Mountain in the Eastern Tang, even nearly dying himself. Broad Creed Mountain would naturally not treat the Eastern Tang badly, and making an exception to reward Zhao Ming was one of them.
He said solemnly, "Speaking of this, I still have to thank you for saving Royal Father in the Eastern Tang."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "With the relationship between our two families, is there still a need to say this?"
Zhao Ming also smiled and nodded. Just like now, the two of them meeting in private, with no one else around, not addressing each other as senior and junior apprentice-brother, instead addressing each other in accordance with their familial ties.
While he was older, he had entered Broad Creed Mountain rather late, having only entered after becoming a Martial Scholar. According to the order of entry, he had to address Yan Zhaoge as senior apprentice-brother.
"This time, thanks to the clan making an exception, I also have a chance to enter the third level for the first time," Zhao Ming sighed as he came to Yan Zhaoge's side. Yan Zhaoge asked, "Have you chosen?"
Zhao Ming nodded, "I chose the Big Dipper Sword."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Majestic and vast; I guessed that you also chose the Big Dipper Sword."
"The sword-intent of the Big Dipper Sword is complex and profound, its variations boundless; you'll have to train in it."
Before Zhao Ming could say anything, a voice resounded from the stairway leading from the second to the third level of the scripture tower, "A thousand profundities, ten thousand variations; just remember that the Big Dipper Worships the North, the Northern Star Illuminating the Heavens, the Seven Stars Converging; this is the foundation, from which all variations are born."
Hearing his words, the corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth arched slightly.
A person ascended the stairs. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Ming couldn't help but frown.
He also recognised the other party. It was Fang Zhun's direct disciple, a core, direct disciple of Broad Creed Mountain like Yan Zhaoge, a leading figure of the younger generation, Lu Wen!
Zhao Ming suddenly recalled that of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation disciples, Lu Wen was second to none in terms of attainments in the Big Dipper Sword.
In the past, while similarly cultivating in the Big Dipper Sword, the person beside him, because he had always been unable to compare to Lu Wen in the Big Dipper Sword, had turned to creating his own sword dao, producing the Coiling Dragon Sword …
