Chapter 49 - Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet (1/2)
The Supreme Profound Hall, is used by the Blue Wind Profound Palace to store all sorts of profound arts and profound techniques, accumulated by the Blue Wind Profound Palace over the course of several thousand years.
The Supreme Profound Hall existed in the Inner Palace, but a transmission formation was set up inside, so anyone from the Outer, Middle, and Inner Palaces could enter.
It was just that Outer Palace disciples could only enter the first floor, Middle Palace disciples could only enter the first two floors and only Inner Palace disciples were allowed to freely enter the third floor. The higher the floor, the higher the grade of the profound arts and profound techniques stored inside.
After passing the gatekeeper elder's imprint inspection, Jean followed Sikong Du and directly arrived at the third floor.
This place was a field of silence, flowing with a mysterious and thick aura of profound energy. At first glance, everything in his line of sight was filled with all sorts of jade tablets and jade scrolls with inscriptions of profound arts and techniques.
Sikong Du: Inner Palace disciples may visit the Supreme Profound Hall once every two months, and select up to two profound techniques or profound arts. And within one month, no matter whether or not you fully comprehend it, you must return it.
Jean: Alright, I will check some of them…
[Later]
Jean: 'My disappointment is immeasurable.'
Sikong Du: So, Jean, anything that fancied you?
Jean: No.
Sikong Du: *Cough* *Cough* What?!
Jean's answer surprised Sikong Du, who almost choked on his saliva, but Jean just shrugged.
Sikong Du: *Sigh* Alright…
Blue Wind Profound Palace naturally wasn't stingy with their inner disciple's living quarters. When Jean saw the house in front of him, he couldn't but be a little shocked in his heart.
The house was unexpectedly spacious and even came with a matching elegant courtyard. All the living facilities were readily available inside, even the beddings were made from fine silk.
Sikong Du: This is your living quarters. I live in courtyard number 41; if you need anything, you can come and find me anytime. Also, your profound gathering room number in the Profound Gathering Tower is 73.
Your body had been implanted with the corresponding Profound Imprint, and you are also the only one who is able to enter, so you may cultivate there anytime without worry.
Furthermore, don't forget to head to the Inner Palace's Profound Pellet Pavilion every seven days to pick up ten medium Profound Recovering Pellets, three Bone Quenching Pellets, and two small Heaven Returning Pellets.
Also, if you happen to encounter other Inner Palace Disciples in this Inner Palace, absolutely do not instigate any conflicts; even if you may be stronger than them, some of them have a high political status.
The Profound Palace doesn't have any restraints towards the freedom of Inner Palace disciples. You can freely move about in the Outer, Middle and Inner Palaces, and may also freely leave the Profound Palace at any time… If you wish to waste the cultivation time in the Inner Palace.
After saying that, Sikong Du didn't had a reason to stay and left Jean on his devices.
When he was far enough, the first thing he did was summoning the Overlord's Colossal Sword, which already sunk down within his hands, however, he was still able to hold it up, even if with trembling hands…
1 second…
2 seconds…
3 seconds…
4 seconds… Oof.
The sword fell down, making Jean pant.
Jasmine: Why did you pick this heavy sword? Is it really just because that it is of a high-grade?
Jean: Which reason you want to hear? The idiotic one or the personal one?
Jasmine: Humor me. What is the idiotic one?
Jean: It's cool.
Jean: I am afraid of death… So I want a heavy sword, that is used to protect, to defend me and whoever stands behind me… I felt things that no one should feel, and experienced things that one could never hope to experience in their lifetime, 3 times were enough, i don't want a 4th…
I like to risk, using extreme methods to cultivate faster, weird techniques to set up good foundations, strange plans to survive against someone stronger than me.
But even I am not stupid enough to throw myself in my own grave without a good reason. I want to pick the heavy sword to raise my and everyone's chances of survival against a calamity.
Besides, if I can use the Heavy Sword as if it was a light sword then what could possibly kill me or the ones behind me?
Jasmine: ...The reason why you selected the heavy sword… is exactly the same… as brother's…
Jean: You had a brother?
Jasmine: ...Yeah…
Jean: Mm… So the reason is because a heavy sword is cool?
Jasmine: NO, you idiot! It's because he want to protect the people that were important for him! In the very beginning, brother's weapon of choice, was also the light sword. After, he put down the light sword and picked up the heavy sword, because brother said…
”The heavy sword, is a weapon for slaughter, an overbearing weapon, but even more so a weapon for protection; he wanted to use the heavy sword to protect me, protect mother, and protect our homeland…”
Jean: 'I have many dark jokes about his death, but I doubt I will survive after saying one of them…'
Jasmine: In order to train with the heavy sword, brother took a great risk to cultivate the forbidden book Great Way of the Buddha, and after experiencing many untold hardships, he found the Heavenly Wolf Sirius' legacy, and obtained the Heavenly Wolf's Hell God's Tome.
