Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 874 - 848: Hall of Law
Chapter 874: Chapter 848: Hall of Law
The Inner Gate has many important places, among which the Hall of Law is one of the most important.
The Hall of Law, which houses all the spell manuals and treasures of Myriad Saints Valley, can be said to be the foundation of Myriad Saints Valley.
Inner Sect Disciples are all qualified to go to the Hall of Law to choose spell manuals for cultivation, and only those in the Earthly Realm are qualified to cultivate spell manuals. Those in the Innate Realm are strictly speaking just building their foundation; they can only practice some secular Kung Fu.
For Ancient Martial Artists, secular Kung Fu is at most just the use of force, with little power to speak of. To Ancient Martial Artists, it appears rather crude.
But spell manuals are different. Spell manuals are a clever use of Spiritual Immortal Power, capable of endless transformations, greatly amplifying one’s power. Just like Tangyu’s Yin Yang Swordsmanship, which can skillfully mobilize the Spiritual Immortal Power within and produce immense sword power. It can even faintly touch upon the mysteries of the Yin Yang Path.
If Tangyu could truly comprehend a bit of the Yin Yang Path and apply it to his Yin Yang Swordsmanship, its might would reach an incredibly terrifying level.
That state is far beyond even what Bai Jie has achieved, and naturally Tangyu is still far from it. But even so, when Tangyu performs his Yin Yang Swordsmanship, he can completely rival someone a state above him, showcasing the might of spell manuals.
As for the Great Dao and the laws of all things, they are too profound and mysterious, beyond comprehension. It is said that only Immortals can truly wield them, which is too far off.
Tangyu and his three companions arrived at the Hall of Law. The imposing Hall of Law was like a gigantic dragon lying dormant, exuding an unparalleled majesty and divine inviolability. The Hall of Law is definitely an important place within the Inner Gate, where no one may act out of line, or the consequences are severe.
Entering the Hall of Law, they saw an emaciated elder sitting cross-legged, meditating with closed eyes.
Tangyu glanced at the elder and was somewhat astonished. Although the elder was right in front of him, he felt as if the elder was very far away, as if an invisible Milky Way lay between them. This feeling was unprecedented and greatly surprised Tangyu.
From a distance, the Hall of Law elder felt like a peerless sword that could pierce the sky, exuding a sharpness that made him seem imposing and inviolable, instilling in people a sense of irreverence.
Standing before him, Tangyu felt a terrifying pressure, stronger even than when facing Elder Qiu. This reaffirmed Tangyu’s suspicion that the Hall of Law elder’s strength was unsurpassed, likely unmatched under the Imaginary Realm.
That the elder sat guard in the Hall of Law was clear proof of his prowess.
"Disciple greets the Hall of Law Elder," Tangyu and his three companions said respectfully.
The Hall of Law elder then opened his eyes, his gaze piercing as though it could see through their innermost hearts: "You four are newly promoted Inner Sect Disciples, in the Earthly Realm, qualified to choose spell manuals." As he spoke, the elder’s gaze fell on Tangyu, his eyes showing a hint of interest.
With a glance, he could naturally discern Tangyu’s depth.
The Hall of Law elder waved his hand, and a stone gate behind him slowly opened: "Go in and make your selections. Remember, don’t be greedy."
Tangyu and his three companions nodded and quickly walked inside. Inside was a large secret chamber. Although the chamber was vast, it was sparsely furnished. Only rows of bookshelves lined the walls, filled with spell manual books. In the center was a large open space, possibly for the disciples to practice.
Tangyu said, "Everyone, look for spell manuals suitable for yourselves. Choosing a spell manual is very important; don’t take it lightly."
Liang Youshan was very excited: "Haha, we can finally cultivate spell manuals!"
The three of them eagerly rushed to the bookshelves and began browsing.
Tangyu didn’t seem particularly excited. He wasn’t lacking in spell manuals. With Yin Yang Swordsmanship and Langya Sword Art, Tangyu found them sufficient. Less is more; as long as he mastered these two techniques, it would be enough for him.
Spell manuals are just external techniques; true strength still depends on one’s realm.
Of course, it’s not that spell manuals aren’t important, just that they aren’t as crucial as one’s realm. If the difference in realms is too great, no matter how advanced the spell manuals are, they can’t bridge the gap.
Mastering a spell manual can enhance your abilities, but the degree of enhancement is limited.
It’s like a child, no matter how skillfully he wields a sword, he can’t defeat a strongman.
Realm is the key.
Spell manuals are external, an enhancement, an addition to your strength.
"’Vulcan Palm’, highly advanced, one palm can shake mountains and seas, too ordinary." Tangyu casually picked up a book and quickly put it back.
"’Twelve Layer Tower Sword’, twelve layers of artistic conception, twelve continuous strikes, with the power to split mountains, far inferior to my Yin Yang Swordsmanship."
"’Myriad Seas Rolling Wave Blade’, very domineering, but I don’t like blade techniques, they don’t suit me."
"Oh, there’s even ’Skimming Water Steps’, a movement technique, not very practical. Besides, running away is not my style, completely useless."
Each book Tangyu picked up, he quickly put down, completely uninterested.
The foundation of Myriad Saints Valley was strong, and the spell manuals were comprehensive, with many powerful ones.
Some even rivaled the power of Yin Yang Swordsmanship.
After watching for a while, Tangyu lost interest, but Liang Youshan and the other two were ecstatic and intoxicated. They became dazzled and couldn’t bear to part with it. The three of them took nearly two hours to finally make their selections.
Tangyu asked, "How was the selection?"
Liang Youshan lifted the secret manual in his hand and said, "This one, ’Cloud Sea Unifying Heaven Art,’ it can transform endlessly and can be applied to palm techniques, boxing, knife techniques, and swordsmanship, unpredictable and ever-changing."
Tangyu nodded; this spell was indeed excellent.
Wang Wei and Wu Fei both chose swordsmanship techniques. This might have been influenced by Tangyu. The two did not aim too high but chose moderately standard sword techniques, which were sufficient for their initial cultivation.
The four of them exited the secret room. The Elder of the Hall of Law glanced at the four of them and indifferently said, "Return the spell manuals in a month. Without permission, do not pass them on privately."
These rules were already known to Tangyu and the others, and they all nodded.
The Elder’s gaze fell on Tangyu: "Why didn’t you choose a spell?"
Tangyu shook his head and said, "I didn’t find one that excited me. I’d rather have none than something mediocre. I have already cultivated two powerful spells by chance, so unless it’s better, I won’t waste time on it."
The Elder raised his brows slightly, his gaze examining Tangyu before saying, "With your current strength, you are qualified to cultivate more profound spells." With that, the Elder waved his hand, and another stone gate opened: "Go inside and choose."
Tangyu’s heart moved. Spells, those were higher than regular techniques. Generally, only Imaginary Realm experts could master them; very few in the Earthly Realm could successfully cultivate a spell.
Spells, incredibly powerful.
For example, Paralysis Technique, Invisibility Technique, Fireball Technique, Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Technique, etc., all fall within the realm of spells. It’s a whole new world.
Regarding spells, Tangyu was naturally very eager.
Being able to choose spells for cultivation at this moment naturally made Tangyu delighted.
"Liang Youshan, you three wait outside first," said Tangyu, and then quickly darted into the secret room.
This secret room was much smaller than the previous one, perhaps only about twenty square feet. There was only a single row of bookshelves, holding no more than dozens of secret manuals. The previous secret room had at least thousands of them.
However, it was understandable. Spells were rare. Having a few dozen was something that only powerful forces like Myriad Saints Valley in the Skies Beyond the Skies could possess.
To master a spell to Great Accomplishment, one’s power would be terrifying.
"Invisibility Technique, Paralysis Technique, Fireball Technique, Cloud Driving Technique, Lightning Technique, Cloud and Rain Technique..."
Seeing these made Tangyu somewhat dazzled; he wished he could cultivate all of them. However, he knew the principle of being greedy and failing, knowing that cultivating even one spell would consume countless energy.
Moreover, he was just in the Earthly Realm.
Actually, it was best to cultivate them in the Imaginary Realm. The Earthly Realm did not reach that height, and achieving success was rare. Cultivating in the Earthly Realm could lay a foundation for fully mastering them in the Imaginary Realm.
Some geniuses could cultivate a basic understanding, though not highly effective, but still somewhat powerful.
In this regard, Tangyu was confident.
"I’ll choose one first. If I succeed, I can pick another. Being greedy is unwise. Which one should I choose?" Tangyu pondered carefully.
Every spell was incredibly powerful and highly practical.
After thorough consideration, Tangyu decided to choose a spell that could enhance his strength.
Fireball Technique, Lightning Technique were naturally good options.
But Tangyu did not rush to a conclusion and looked through all the spells.
"Hmm, ’Capturing Dragon Nine Claws,’ interesting. Mastering nine claws, one could catch a dragon barehanded. Hmm, what’s this? Why only the first five claws? Where are the last four? Could this be an incomplete spell?" Tangyu’s brows furrowed. This spell had truly moved his heart.
It was a pity it was incomplete.
According to the introduction, Tangyu felt the power of this spell, perhaps not inferior to the Langya Sword Art at Great Accomplishment.
To catch a dragon barehanded, what an ambitious statement!
Though not necessarily with such power, it must certainly be formidable.
After hesitating for a while, Tangyu decided to choose this spell. Though incomplete, the first five claws were enough for him to cultivate for now.
