"Yes, there is information on the Dao Domain Lord inside the Tower of Secrets, as long as you have the required celestial coins, you can obtain the knowledge." Responding to his rather loud exclamation, the preservation golem didn't move in the slightest as it said this. Making Xuan Hao even more excited, as he understood that he would finally be able to get information of the Dao Domain Lord Realm that wasn't just a few fragments here and there or information gained through advancing through the Dao Domain Lord Realm by himself.Not only would it be useful for reaching the Peak of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and going beyond that in the future, but it would also be useful for improving his current strength in the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm, as it would give him a clear path to follow.
"Can I enter the tower now?"
With that in mind, Xuan Hao could not help excitedly turning to the preservation golem as he asked this. Wanting nothing more than to enter the tower as fast as possible so he could get his hands on the knowledge about the Dao Domain Lord Realm that was stored inside according to what the preservation golem had said.
Whoosh~
Turning back towards the tower after hearing what Xuan Hao said, the preservation golem suddenly raised one of its hands, causing the formation that was guarding the entrance to open.
"You have met the requirements and can enter the Tower of Secrets whenever you want. Mandatory warning, forcefully trying to take away any of the things inside the Tower of Secrets without paying, will result in the killing formation inside activating.
Do be aware, elder status does not protect you from the killing formation, as it is designed to kill anyone attempting to steal from the tower."
"…"
Hearing what the preservation golem said just as he was about to rush inside the Tower of Secrets, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine.
Although he had already reached the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and could be considered to be comparable to someone at the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm, he understood that he would stand no chance against the formations left behind by the Mirage Sect. Especially so considering that the tower in front of him had managed to remain fully intact.
After all, given that the tower was still intact meant that the killing formations protecting the tower itself should also be intact. Not having weakened much since the battle that should have taken place in the past.
Just the fact that the geniuses of that time had reached the Profound Immortal Realm was more than enough to stop him from having any thoughts of stealing anything from the tower, as it at least meat that the strength of the killing formations inside the tower had reached the Profound Immortal Realm in terms of power. Not something he was anywhere close to being able to deal with in his current cultivation realm.
Even then, it shouldn't be a problem as long as I use the celestial coins to buy the information from the tower…
Shaking his head as he thought this to himself, Xuan Hao made his way inside the Tower of Secrets and was soon met by a beautifully decorated room filled with rows upon rows of shelves filled to the brim with scrolls.
"So many scrolls… And the space in here is far larger than outside, is there perhaps some kind of space expansion formation in place?" Muttering this to himself as he glanced around the place, Xuan Hao could not help feeling curious as he walked over to one of the shelves and picked up one of the scrolls.
[Sword Sovereign Domination, Volume 1, Low Heaven Rank. Entire Sword Sovereign Domination, Saint Rank]
[Price: 5 Celestial Coins]
"Low Heaven Rank? Saint Rank?" Seeing a few unfamiliar terms written on top of the scroll, Xuan Hao ignored the price as he turned to look back at the preservation golem that had been silently following behind him since he stepped inside the Tower of Secrets.
"Do you want an explanation of the technique ranks?" Picking up what he wanted immediately with a simple straightforward question, Xuan Hao quicky nodded his head. Wondering if the division of qi techniques and other techniques was any different in the ancient times compared to the current time.
"Acknowledged, combat techniques and the names of their ranks can change depending on where you are from, but they are still universally classified into three realms. According to the name that the Mirage Sect follows, these three realms are Mortal, Earth and Heaven.
Mortal signifies the first four mortal realms, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realm. Low Mortal Rank signifying Qi Condensation Realm combat techniques, while Peak Mortal Rank signify Nascent Soul Realm combat techniques.
Earth signifies the first steps to comprehending the dao and transcending the mortal realm, the Domain Lord Realm, Soul Ascension Realm and Dao Seed Realm. Low and Mid Earth Rank being the Domain Lord Realm and the Soul Ascension Realm respectively, while the Dao Seed Realm is the High and Peak Earth Rank.
Heaven signifies transcending the mortal realm, the Celestial Immortal Realm and the Profound Immortal Realm. Low Heaven Rank being the Celestial Immortal Realm, Mid Heaven Rank being the Sea Formation Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, while the High Heaven Rank is for the those at the Land Creation Realm. Peak Heaven Rank combat techniques being reserved for those at the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm."
This… Was far more detailed than I expected it to be… Not having expected such a long and detailed description from the preservation golem, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly to himself as he thought about the description of the different ranks given by the preservation golem.
Indeed, when compared to the ranking system of combat techniques that was being used at the moment on the Ewaria Continent, he liked this ancient ranking system far more and had already decided to go ahead and implement it in the sect after he returned.
Not just to make things a bit easier to understand for his disciples, but also to make it easier for himself, as he had a feeling that he would interact far more with this ancient system compared to the one currently in use throughout the Ewaria Continent in the future.
But, outside of that, there was something he was curious about and that was-
"Are there any ranks above the Heaven Rank?"
"Yes, the Saint Rank is the rank for combat techniques above the Heaven Rank, but there are no such combat techniques present in the Tower of Secrets. The information available to me does not extend to things that aren't present in the Tower of Secrets, so I can unfortunately not give an explanation on the Saint Rank outside of its name." Saying this in a somewhat depressed tone, the preservation golem suddenly looked a bit pitiful after acknowledging that it didn't have any information on the Saint Rank that was beyond the Heaven Rank.
"It's fine, can you help me find the information of the Dao Domain Lord Realm inside the tower?"
"Yes, the information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm is located on the second floor of the Tower of Secrets. Normally, access to the second floor is only granted after becoming a tier two trial participant, but given the temporary elder status, there are no restrictions on which floors you can enter."
"That's great, lead the way." Feeling relieved after hearing what the preservation golem said, Xuan Hao soon found himself following it up the spiral staircase at the center of the tower leading up towards the second floor of the tower.
However, this relief vanished a few seconds later when he glanced at the different scrolls along the way.
[Price: 12 Celestial Coins]
[Price: 10 Celestial Coins]
[Price: 8 Celestial Coins]
[Price: 15…]
Not a single one of them was cheap enough for him to buy with his current celestial coins. Making him feel increasingly nervous about the price of the Dao Domain Lord Realm information that he had wanted to buy from the Tower of Secrets just a few seconds earlier.
Even more so because he clearly noticed that the price of the scrolls around him kept rising as he followed the preservation golem deeper inside the second floor of the Tower of Secrets…
"Trial participant, the information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm is here."
[The Precarious Journey, a look into the Dao Domain Lord Realm]
[Price: 8 Celestial Coins]
And indeed, just like he had feared, the price of the information he wanted to buy just so happened to be a single celestial coin over what he had on him. Making him not know whether to cry or laugh over the fact that he had found the information he wanted but couldn't access it.
