Chapter 406: Scripture Pavilion, Snatching the Sword Technique

After the deacon guarding the gate checked and found everything in order, he let him pass.

"Junior Brother Zhou, please enter."

"Remember, Inner Sect Disciples can enter from the fourth floor to the sixth floor."

"Each month, you can borrow three books for free."

"Exceeding three books requires exchanging contribution points."

Zhou Chen nodded: "Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother."

He walked into the Scripture Pavilion.

He skipped the first to third floors and walked straight to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is the lowest level that Inner Sect Disciples can borrow from.

The books collected here are all Immortal Rank Low Grade Cultivation Techniques, secret arts, Formations, and so on.

Although the Rank is not very high, the quantity is vast, with thousands of books.

Zhou Chen walked into the fourth floor and looked around.

At this moment, there were already a dozen Inner Sect Disciples on the fourth floor browsing through books.

Some were looking for Cultivation Techniques suitable for themselves, while others were studying Formations and Alchemy.

Zhou Chen did not disturb them but began to follow the prompts of the opportunity panel to find the location of the Void Sword Technique.

According to the opportunity panel, the Void Sword Technique was hidden in the northeast corner of the fourth floor, behind a concealed bookshelf.

This sword technique had been lost for many years, and even the manager of the Scripture Pavilion did not know of its existence.

Only Yun Xiaotian would discover it by accident in ten days.

"But now…"

Zhou Chen walked to the northeast corner and began to browse the books on the bookshelf.

On the surface, he was selecting Cultivation Techniques normally.

But in reality, his Divine Sense had already penetrated behind the bookshelf, searching for the location of the Void Sword Technique.

Very soon, he found it.

On the last row of the bookshelf, there was an old book covered in dust.

That was the Void Sword Technique.

Zhou Chen deliberately pretended to be careless and reached out to take other books from the bookshelf.

But in the process of taking them, his arm accidentally bumped into the bookshelf.

Crack—

The bookshelf made a soft sound and swayed slightly.

Several books fell from the bookshelf.

Among them was that Void Sword Technique.

"Huh?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised, bent down, and picked up the old book.

On the cover of the book were three ancient, simple characters—《Void Sword Technique》.

"Void Sword Technique?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes as he pretended not to know what this was.

He opened the first page and probed with his Divine Sense.

Boom!

Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

This was a complete Immortal Rank Low Grade sword technique, with Space Law as its core, capable of executing various profound sword Moves.

The sword technique was divided into nine Moves—namely Slash, Stab, Connect, Break, Seal, Suppress, Split, Destroy, and Extinction.

The power of each Move was double that of the previous one.

"A good sword technique…"

A trace of interest flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

This Void Sword Technique was perfectly suited to the Space Law he had comprehended.

If he could Cultivate it to Major Achievement, his combat power would increase by at least fifty percent.

"It is worth studying and comparing."

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

Just then, the System's notification sound rang out.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully snatching Yun Xiaotian's Opportunity!]

[Triggered a thousand-fold critical return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Immortal Rank Top-Grade Void Divine Sword Technique!]

Zhou Chen's vision blurred, and a Jade Slip appeared in his hand.

The Void Divine Sword Technique was derived from the 《Void Sword Technique》, with its power greatly increased.

And the sword Moves were simplified.

There were only three sword Moves: Void Destruction, Void Annihilation, and Reincarnation of Extinction, with each Move having a hundred times the power of the previous one.

Zhou Chen was shocked.

The System is amazing.

Zhou Chen calmly put the Void Divine Sword Technique into the System space, then continued to browse other books on the bookshelf.

On the surface, he was still continuing to select other Cultivation Techniques.

Although the Scripture Pavilion had Formation monitoring, as long as he did not make any overly obvious abnormal movements, he generally would not be discovered.

Zhou Chen selected two more ordinary Cultivation Techniques, then walked downstairs to find the manager to register for borrowing.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you have borrowed three books."

The manager was an old man with a cultivation of quasi-immortal realm third layer. He glanced at Zhou Chen and said: "Please return them within one month."

"If there is any damage or loss, you will need to compensate with the corresponding contribution points."

Zhou Chen nodded: "This Disciple understands."

After returning to his Immortal Cave.

Zhou Chen immediately set up a soundproofing Formation and a defensive Formation to ensure that no one could spy on him.

Then, he took out the Void Divine Sword Technique from the System space.

The Jade Slip emitted a faint light, containing profound Sword Intent.

Zhou Chen probed with his Divine Sense and began to comprehend the contents of the sword technique.

Boom!

Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

The Void Divine Sword Technique, with Space Law as its core, could execute various profound sword Moves.

Each sword Move contained the power to destroy everything.

Moreover, the cultivation method of the sword technique was extremely detailed; from entry to Major Achievement, every step had clear guidance.

By using Space Law to condense Sword Qi and slashing out a spatial rift, one could ignore defenses and attack the main body directly.

Zhou Chen held the Void Divine Sword and began to practice according to the guidance of the sword technique.

Swoosh—

Sword light flashed, and a spatial rift appeared out of thin air.

Although the rift was only one foot long, it contained terrifying power.

"Not bad…"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Just the entry-level Move has such power."

"If cultivated to Major Achievement…"

A trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

For the next few days, Zhou Chen remained in his Immortal Cave, cultivating the Void Divine Sword Technique in seclusion.

His Space Law was already at Perfection, so cultivating it yielded twice the result with half the effort.

In just five days, he had cultivated the three sword Moves to the Minor Achievement Realm.

Zhou Chen's mind stirred, and calculating the time, it was time to go out.

He came to the Zixia Sect mission hall and began to browse the mission list, looking for the mission that Yun Xiaotian was about to accept.

Very soon, he found it.

[Mission Name: Clear the Yao Beasts in Blood Wolf Valley]

[Mission Rank: Medium Difficulty]

[Mission Description: A group of Yao Beasts is entrenched in Blood Wolf Valley, led by a Blood Wolf King at the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer. This group of Yao Beasts often attacks nearby villages, causing heavy casualties. The Sect has decided to send Disciples to clear them out.]

[Mission Reward: 1,000 contribution points, one Immortal Rank Medium Grade Medicinal Pill, the Breakthrough Pill.]

[Mission Requirements: Quasi-Immortal Realm cultivation or above, or Venerable Realm Ninth Layer cultivation or above.]

[Note: This mission requires a team to complete; there is no limit to the number of people.]

"This is the mission…"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes: "According to the opportunity panel, Yun Xiaotian will accept this mission in one month."

But there was one problem.

This mission required Venerable Realm Ninth Layer cultivation or above.

Zhou Chen's current cultivation was Venerable Realm Seventh Layer, still two layers short.

"It seems…"

Zhou Chen thought to himself: "I must break through to the Venerable Realm Ninth Layer as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I cannot accept this mission."

He took out one hundred supreme grade immortal crystals and began cultivating in seclusion.

—

Time passed bit by bit.

Ten days later..

Zhou Chen successfully broke through to the Venerable Realm Eighth Layer.

Five more days passed.

Crack—

Zhou Chen's cultivation finally broke through to the Venerable Realm Ninth Layer!

Without delaying long, Zhou Chen quickly arrived at the Sect mission hall.

In the mission hall, hundreds of Inner Sect Disciples were gathered.
