The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2181: Inheritance Palace


When Lin Bai arrived before the Inheritance Palace, the mark on his brow flashed, and simultaneously a cold voice echoed in Lin Bai's ear: "Purple Token, you may proceed to the Martial Arts Hall's seventh level!"

The grand doors cracked open, and Lin Bai walked inside.

As he walked into the Inheritance Palace, Lin Bai curiously looked around.

This place was a room only about a hundred meters in size, surrounded by windows, yet there wasn't a single book to be seen!

"Is this the first floor?"

"Why is it different from ordinary libraries, where you can't see a single book here!"

Lin Bai felt particularly puzzled.

But just at this moment, Lin Bai saw a small table on the first floor, with a lit Bronze Lamp on top.

Lin Bai walked over, coming to the front of the Bronze Lamp, and looked at it strangely for a while, then softly said: "This Bronze Lamp is definitely no ordinary object to have been alight here for so long!"

You must know, fifty thousand years ago, when the Divine Sect decided to sink the Demon Sect's Inheritance Palace into the Blood Sea, now fifty thousand years have passed.

Over fifty thousand years, so many treasures have decayed, yet the Bronze Lamp within the Inheritance Palace still remains bright.

Coming before the Bronze Lamp, Lin Bai saw a scroll placed on the table.

"A scroll?" Lin Bai picked up the scroll from the table, and at the same time, a voice echoed in Lin Bai's ear, saying: "All warriors who obtain the Token can gain a cultivation skill from within the Inheritance Palace!"

"You have obtained the Purple Token, you may select a cultivation skill from any floor!"

"Open the scroll in your hand, and you will see the introduction of the cultivation skills stored on the first floor!"

"All you need to do is speak the name of the skill you choose, and this manual will appear before you!"

"No cultivation skill from the Inheritance Palace can be taken out!"

"If you select a skill on the first floor, you lose the qualification to proceed further!"

This voice came coldly.

Lin Bai heard the voice, not knowing why, but when the voice sounded, the temperature in the Great Hall suddenly dropped by a lot.

"If I don't choose, can I just look around?" Lin Bai asked suddenly.

"You may." The voice answered.

"You can actually talk to me?" Lin Bai said in shock.

"Why not?" The voice asked.

"Since you can communicate with me, why don't you show yourself?" Lin Bai asked looking around. He indeed did not find any traces of warriors on this first floor.

Therefore, Lin Bai was very curious about where this voice was coming from.

"I am right in front of you, how can you see me if you don't look down?" The voice laughed.

Hearing this, Lin Bai stupidly looked down, and his gaze fell on the Bronze Lamp.

Looking closely, Lin Bai actually saw a young man whose face was not clear, sitting cross-legged within the flame of the Bronze Lamp.

This young man was dressed in a white robe, unstained by a speck of dust, with an extraordinary, serene demeanor, just like a Banished Immortal.

He sat cross-legged in the flame, yet his height was only a few centimeters...

"Is it you that's speaking?" Lin Bai leaned down and saw the young man in the flame.

"Who else?" The voice echoed back.

"Are you a puppet? Or the spirit of this Inheritance Palace?" Lin Bai asked.

The young man in the flame didn't answer immediately, after a while, he said: "You can start choosing now!"

Seeing that the young man didn't answer, Lin Bai didn't continue to ask. Then, Lin Bai unfolded the scroll in his hand, and immediately it was filled densely with words, each representing a cultivation skill...

And the number of words on this scroll was uncountable.

"Netherworld Sword Skill..."

"Jade Wave Palm..."

"Thousand Star Sword Finger!"

"Encountering Spring Skill!"

"..."

Lin Bai looked at each of them. These cultivation skills, if placed in the Territory of all nations, could be considered as the type that would guard the sect's ultimate technique.

Even if they were sold, they could fetch an astronomical price!

Lin Bai's eyes shone as he looked at the cultivation skills on the scroll, examining them one by one.

"Do you plan to look at each one individually?" The young man in the lampfire asked.

Lin Bai was taken aback, then nodded.

"Then you might waste three months." The lampfire youth laughed.

"Why?" Lin Bai asked puzzled.

"In the Demon Sect's Inheritance Palace, the first floor houses endless numbers of cultivation skills and martial techniques below Heaven Level from Dongzhou's countless territories..."

"The scroll in your hand, about ten thousand meters long, contains a total of 750,000 types of cultivation skills and martial techniques..."

The lampfire youth laughed.

"This scroll is about ten thousand meters long! It contains 750,000 types of cultivation skills..." Lin Bai was so shocked upon hearing this number that he broke out in a cold sweat. Such a vast reserve could cause a weak minor sect to rise instantly!

"Yes, and I must remind you, there are over a hundred more scrolls like the one in your hand on the first floor, are you sure you want to look through them all slowly one by one?" The lampfire youth laughed.

"Over a hundred more such scrolls?" Lin Bai asked in shock.

"With your cultivation at the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, without rest or sleep, without eating or drinking, working day and night, you would at least need three months to finish reading one scroll..."

"And if you want to finish reading all the scrolls on the first floor, it would take you at least thirty years!"

The lampfire youth chuckled softly.

Hearing this timeframe, Lin Bai's face immediately turned dark, he slowly closed the scroll and placed it on the table, asking: "When Demon Sect disciples came here to choose a cultivation skill, how did they quickly choose the one they liked!"

"Everything... depends on fate!" The lampfire youth smiled: "Some people, at first glance of a scroll, immediately fancy a cultivation skill, while others look at the scroll for years without finding a suitable cultivation skill!"

"This all depends on opportunity!"

"Since you have obtained the Purple Token, I advise you not to waste too much time on the first and second floors!"

"The first floor contains cultivation skills below Heaven Level!"

"The second floor is about alchemy, artifact refining, and other manuals!"

"From the third floor onwards, are the true treasures of the Demon Sect!"

The lampfire youth said gently.

"I see." Lin Bai put down the scroll, saw a staircase beside him, and walked up, murmuring in his heart: "Anyway, I am the last disciple of the Demon Sect, I can freely explore the Inheritance Palace, at least I can reach the Eighth Layer!"

"I have plenty of time to slowly study these cultivation skills in the future!"

"For now, let's see what good things the upper floors hold."

Lin Bai walked up to the second floor, but didn't linger.

Just now, Lin Bai learned from the lampfire youth's words that the second floor housed manuals related to alchemy, artifact refining, and such.

Regarding this, Lin Bai wasn't very interested!

Skipping over the second floor, he arrived at the third floor!

The third floor stored lower King Level cultivation skills!
