Chapter 1206: Sect Library! (2)



Ace entered the sect library. Upon entering, the air inside was thick with the scent of aged wood, mingled with the faint aroma of burning incense that seemed to hang in the air perpetually. The walls were lined with towering shelves, each one filled with jade scrolls containing the accumulated knowledge of countless generations.

Yet, only two sections of these shelves were accessible; the rest were shrouded in translucent barriers, their contents locked away.

Ace's eyes were drawn to the center of the library, where an ancient door stood. Above it, inscribed in bold characters, were the words: Hall of the Inferno Guardian. A surge of power swept through him at the sight as if the door itself exuded a potent aura.

'Could this be where the most powerful and forbidden texts of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect are kept? Or is this chamber accessible only to the highest-ranking members of the Sect?' Ace pondered, his curiosity piqued. He longed to see what lay beyond that door but hesitated.

He knew he was being watched, and the restrictions in this place weren't just for show. Although he was confident that his mastery of the lawless darkness could bypass any barrier, he refrained. If he were to steal or act against the sect, and they discovered his true nature, his journey within the AIG Sect would come to an abrupt end.

Moreover, Ace wasn't particularly interested in acquiring more knowledge at this moment- he had enough of that already. What he sought were treasures that could help him grow. The AIG Sect still had its uses, especially the Forger Abyss, which was even more affluent than the Sect itself. For now, it was wise to maintain a low profile.

Ace then approached the first section of the library that was open to him. Rows of jade scrolls greeted him, each one containing Sky Ascension Grade Spells (Lower/Upper). There were not only ordinary spells but also Spell Arts and Forbidden Spells. However, there were no Taboo Spells in sight.

Nevertheless, he was particularly interested in the Forbidden Spells, having witnessed one being used by John-a spell of immense destructive power. Moreover, these spells were not limited to forger disciples; spells for flame disciples were also present.

The jade scrolls were neatly arranged, with their names carved into the wood beneath them, making it easy to discern the nature of each spell.

At that moment, his attention was drawn to a jade scroll labeled 'Spirit Ember Infusion (Spell Art)'. He sent his thief sense to probe the jade scroll, and information related to the spell appeared in his mind.

"What a stubborn kid. All right, it's your time and chance; you can use it however you like. But don't come here crying after you realize your mistake!" The voice was clearly unhappy, but since Ace didn't want to listen to 'his' advice, he couldn't be bothered.

The next moment, the jade scroll of the Molten Alloy Creation shimmered in golden light before it flew towards Ace. A few moments later, another jade scroll flew towards Ace from another shelf.

Ace grabbed them, and when he saw the second jade scroll, he was instantly happy because it was the Beast Law Channel Spell!

"Alright, you have already used your two free chances to choose spells. Now choose a cultivation technique, and I'll open a room for you where you can memorize the contents of these jade scrolls," the voice stated, as if it wanted Ace to leave, showing a hint of irritation. Ace didn't mind, knowing better than anyone else if the spell was helpful to him or not. At this moment, he thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Elder, I don't want any cultivation technique; I've already got one from the Forger Abyss after I completed the Nominal Disciple Legacy test. Can I exchange it for another Forbidden Spell, the Devouring Inferno Sword?"

"Is that where your confidence comes from?" The voice seemed to already know about this matter as it asked sarcastically but didn't waste more time and said, "Alright, the Devouring Inferno Sword is yours."

The next moment, another jade scroll flew towards Ace. After grabbing it, Ace smiled as it was precisely the Devouring Inferno Sword Forbidden Spell.

"Thank you, Lord Elder!"

"Tsk, tsk, you should've chosen another Forger spell, yet you decided on an attack-type spell that requires sword intent. Your heart is not steady enough, young man. Well, it has nothing to do with me. From now on, if you want to enter the sect library and choose any spell or technique, you have to pay 500 Sect Merit Points for a single chance!

"Tell me, are you regretting it now?" The voice asked with a hint of gloating and anticipation,

as it wanted to see Ace panicking.

But Ace was more speechless about this guy's childishness. He smiled wryly and didn't comment on this. Instead, he asked, "Where should I use these jade scrolls?"

"Tsk..." The voice was extremely perplexed!
