Chapter 65: Restricted Area
When Sage placed his Sect Token into the pedestal, a golden light seemed to shine from beneath it. A few moments later the door in front of him opened up. He collected his token and stepped inside, watching as the door closed behind him. This would be the perfect opportunity for them to get rid of me.
It was only a mild flash of paranoia which quickly passed. Since the door opened it seems his accessing the Seal techniques was not a lie. With that doubt gone, new ones instantly took their place. If they were to give him access it was probably because they counted him as expendable. They certainly wouldnt want a treasured member of the Sect to be put in such great danger. Thinking of it from another perspective, Sage realized he was a great choice. He hadnt even become an Inner Court Disciple after all these years, so he wasnt all that great a loss if he were to be discovered. His new appearance could even be used as evidence of him being a spy or outsider that the Sect could use as an explanation later.
On the other hand, he made a decent candidate to learn. He was the first one to find the books and had learned of the existence of Seals. Rather than worrying about keeping him quiet, they could reduce the number of people exposed to the knowledge. Additionally, while he has no talent for Cultivation, he was quite skilled at learning. Sage had ten different professions, which was proof he could learn the Seals. He was a perfect first guinea pig. Capable, yet still of low enough value that he was expendable. Having a Seal Master would definitely benefit the Sect, while losing Sage would not be a great loss. For the Sect it was an acceptable risk. As for Sage, he now understood that finding treasures and ancient legacies were his only path to power. The childish ideals of becoming a hero still existed deep within, hed merely buried them again when he found the path blocked. All this time spent learning professions was founded on searching for a new path.
Sage walked down a single straight hallway, after a few dozen yards the path turned to the right. He noticed that the walls were sectioned into patterns that looked like doorways. The issue was that they all butted up together. It was like the walls were made entirely out of doors with no handles or hinges. Well, that would definitely make it hard to break in. You cant even tell where the real doors are.
Sage returned to his home and took out the pair of scrolls and the Jade Box hed found in the Soul Taming Abode. Hed found them hidden in the wall inside an Alchemists Laboratory. At the time hed had no chance to look at them in detail, but he was free now. The second scroll was a journal from a person naming themselves as Grand Alchemist Dai Long. Sage found out that the first scroll, Instruction of Divine Paradise was a technique that the Grand Alchemist Dai Long had discovered in an ancient ruin. He had spent his whole life working to master the mysteries within. Sage read the introduction of the journal then skipped near the end, finding out that even after centuries of study, the Grand Alchemist admitted to only having learnt barely half of what the Instruction of Divine Paradise was truly capable of.
Sage was impressed, the Instruction of Divine Paradise must be truly something powerful. The third important item was a Jade Box, which he noticed was mentioned near the end of the Grand Alchemists journal. He said that these three items were his Legacy. The item in the Jade Box was something he called the Stormstone, and only the true successor to the Instruction of Divine Paradise could use it. The main unique technique for the Instruction of Divine Paradise was called Divine Breath and the Stormstone could be incorporated into the body to greatly enhance the technique. Others could be taught the Divine Breath, but only the one with the Stormstone could use the true version of it.
Sage browsed through the Instruction of Divine Paradise and saw many Alchemical Techniques and dozens of alchemical recipes before he stopped on the last thing in the scroll.
Divine Breath.
