Chapter 96: True Immortal

The old man didnt stick around to say any more. Turning around and walking back out into the courtyard. When Sage finished examining the room and before he even processed the question about of True Immortality he turned his head only in time to see the old man turn back into a little bird and flutter off. Guess that means Im on my own. Whatever I only have three months, I have to copy down every single stone tablet in here!

Sage started browsing through the stone tablets and found them to be a huge scattering of different techniques. Surprisingly, they were somewhat organized, each shelf was divided into with sidewalls like a big mailroom shelf. In each cubby was a single stack of stone tablets, at least four per stack but some had more than ten. Each stack seemed tailored to a specific goal. For example, the first cubby he looked in had a Qi Cultivation Technique, two combat Qi Techniques, a Martial Technique, and even a Body Strengthening Technique. All five of the techniques were somewhat of a complete set, being geared towards a Fire natured Cultivator and each of them geared towards cultivating and manipulating a pale green fire they called Green Lotus Heartfire.

Each of the techniques in the set seemed pretty powerful and valuable, but with a complete set like this, the value was astronomical. If someone were to master the whole set of techniques they would have a balanced Qi and Physical base. Their combat power would also be much higher than others at the same rank due to the suitability of the techniques for the Cultivation Technique and Martial Art. The other stacks had similar sets. They covered all sorts of different innate natures, special body types, and even a few special bloodlines. Other stacks were all related to a specific type of weapon, each tablet in the stack being of a different style and nature. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Of course, the library wasnt comprehensive. Sage made a quick count, there was two hundred different shelf cubbies on the wall which was far from enough to cover every possible weapon or innate nature. In fact, many of the groups of techniques were quite similar. He found four different sets of fire natured sets in the first few minutes. The old man said this was set up later, so it made sense that the more common natures would have more options available. With only three months of time to study, Sages guess was that he was supposed to pick out a good set for himself along with some weapon techniques then practice them in the training room.

The real reason Sage felt it would be okay was the second gift. That mysterious state the old man had pushed him into was actually imparting a special technique directly into his mind. He knew he couldnt share this technique with anyone else, even against his own will. It was like there was a seal in his head locking the knowledge. He could pass through the seal, but if the seal was broken then that part of his mind would destroy itself. The technique was so profound and complicated that Sage guessed it would take him months if not years to fully master it. For now he had only barely scratched the surface of what it was and what it could do.

The strange state he had been in where he saw his memories flying past was a method of preparing his mind to accept the technique. It was like how certain Qi Techniques required specific Qi Pores to be opened up before they could be performed. Or how some Qi Cultivation Techniques needed certain meridians to be strengthened to unusual levels. The way his memories were sorted and organized in his mind were miraculously reorganized by the old mans energy when he touched Sages forehead. As it was now, Sage could not yet begin to try practicing the technique as he still needed more time to let the changes sink in. The time he had been asleep was just barely enough for him to recover to a state where he could properly differentiate between the past and present. Before he had fallen asleep he was unable to tell what he was experiencing directly with his senses and what he was just vividly remembering.

Currently he could once again separate past and present, but it was still hard for him to draw up specific memories. When he touched upon the area of his mind where the new technique was waiting for him he was able to call up the basic description, but not yet ready to start training it.

The technique was called Timeless Eyes.
