Chapter 875: Stone Tablet
Or at least thats what they assumed.
For all they knew that youngster might have succeeded. Perhaps the kid was now the disciple of the Essence Sculptor and carried away to some other world far away from this one. There was no way to tell for sure. Of course, this idea was a long shot. During the year-long trial an energy field surrounded the body of the youngster as well as the Stone Tablet, holding them in a protective field. After the year was up, this energy disappeared. The chances that the man survived and was taken somewhere else were small.
Sage knew the technique was related to Seals, and the researcher that had foolishly taken the trial thought of themselves as the most skilled Seal user in the Lang Clan at the time. While Sage had not made much use of Seals outside of the Human Seal he didnt stop the researchers on the Inner World from studying and using them. There was no worry of facing retribution for using the banned technique on the Inner World like there was in the outside world. That said, he never spread the Timeless Eyes. Even if he could pass it on to others, it was not something he would be eager to spread.
Sage had been able to collect a few bits of Seal knowledge over the years and it was more than enough for the researchers to start building upon. One of the Lang Clan ancestors gave him the missing knowledge needed to create a foundation for what he labeled as a 1 star Seal Master. There were also a few techniques and bits of knowledge in the Timeless Masters Library and the Violent Sun Sect Library. Both of these sources were ancient, and this matched up with the theory that Seal Master as a profession was wiped out some time afterwards. These two sources must be older than the time when Seal Masters and their techniques were erased from usage. The other Professions on the Inner World had a full knowledge base up to five stars, while those who wanted to become a Seal Master had only one star available. Even so, they were still better off than the Professions that Sage had never come into contact with.
Contrary to Feiyans worry, Sage was confident of his ability and eager to see what this ancient fellow had made such a big deal out of. Once he gave it his blood he felt a powerful force drawing him towards the tablet. He immediately realized that he was too powerful for it to force inside. As a Nascent Soul he could fight back against its draw and his blood wasnt a death sentence. Of course, after all the preparation he wasnt going to stop now. He left his body as a Nascent Soul, flying into the Stone Tablet and feeling everything change around him. It turned out there was a sort of mental dimension inside the tablet and Sage found himself face to face with a projection of a middle aged western man with slightly tanned skin. He had shortly cropped dark curly hair and a full yet narrow beard that extended a few inches down from his chin.
The man was wearing an outfit straight out of the renaissance, a doublet complete with puffy collar, hose, and puffy pants. Sage had no idea what the garments were called, but it was very disorienting to run into such a look. Hed grown used to the many types of cultivators running around in the Depths, but he hadnt encountered any renaissance style europeans. The man had a disinterested look on his face and didnt seem to be putting much stock in examining Sage. Instead, he seemed to only be going through the motions as he waved to an octagonal column standing beside his ghostly form.
Welcome, applicant. If you wish to become my apprentice and join my workshop, then you must learn this technique. You have one year. Sadly, if you cannot do it you will not be able to leave here. Since youll be exposed to my secrets, I cant let you spread to the unworthy. Much apologies.
Sage had already recognized that this man was merely a projection so there was little point trying to admonish him for such a ridiculous set of conditions. Shouldnt there at least be a choice given? He could only wonder how many people had died accidentally trying to pass this test.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
