C39 Tibetan Meridian Pavilion

"I didn't expect that woman to be so strong.

Qiao Nan sat in the middle of a clump of trees, the energy in his dantian slowly flowing out and nourishing his body, helping him to recover from his injuries quickly.

Not only was Yan Bingqing at the Man Wheel Realm, one of her legs had already reached the middle stage, but she never would have thought that one of her attacks would heavily injure Qiao Nan, if not for the Blood Ginseng's escape technique, she would really be dead.

"Hu!" Qiao Nan exhaled deeply, he raised his eyes to look at the sun which had just appeared, and felt the first light of the world.

He had been sitting here for two whole days, and his injuries were completely healed.

"It seems that before I enter the Mortal Realm, I won't be able to take back my cave mansion." Qiao Nan laughed bitterly, feeling a little awkward. Right now, he didn't even dare to go to his own abode.

He would first go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a few cultivation techniques. The Scripture Pavilion was a sect's important location, so no one would dare to falsely claim it.

Qiao Nan made up his mind, with a order badge in his hand, he headed towards the Ancient Texts Depository.

As the first place candidate, he had the qualifications to choose three sets of cultivation techniques.

The Scripture Pavilion was located in the mountain at the back of the Octoterra Academy. A towering green pagoda stood there, emitting bursts of multicolored light. It was an extremely holy pagoda.

This place could be said to be one of the most important places in the entire Octoterra Academy. There were many cultivation techniques and battle skills stored here, and it was the foundation of an entire power.

An old man in a grey robe was lazily sitting outside the door of the Scripture Pavilion.

Although the old man was not releasing any energy fluctuations, Qiao Nan knew that the old man was definitely not simple, if not the academy would not hand over the Scripture Pavilion to him to guard.

"Senior, this junior has come to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow ancient records." Qiao Nan walked to the old man and bowed respectfully.

"Which floor are you going to?" The old man's eyelids shook, and a faint light flashed between his eyes when he opened and closed, causing Qiao Nan's heart to palpitate.

"Senior, what floor do you think I should go to?" Qiao Nan handed over his order badge.

"How strange." The old man muttered. Could it be that he didn't even know which level he would be able to reach?

The old man took the token and scanned it. The information inside was instantly read.

"So he's a freshman, and he's even number one. No wonder he doesn't understand the rules here." The old man stroked his beard and said, "Go to the second floor. You can choose three cultivation techniques and register them."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Qiao Nan bade farewell to the old man, and stepped into the Scripture Pavilion.

"It's rare to see such a polite young man." The old man's eyelids drooped down as he sat there resting with his eyes closed.

As Qiao Nan stepped into the Scripture Pavilion, an ancient aura assaulted his senses.

The first floor was filled with books. As he walked through the main entrance, both sides of the floor were filled with books. Of course, there were also many people here, and it was still early in the morning.

Qiao Nan quickly passed through the sea of books and arrived at the deepest part of the first floor. A dozen or so flights of stairs led to the second floor.

There was a layer of light at the entrance of the second floor's entrance. It overflowed with colors and emitted waves of radiance.

Qiao Nan walked forward, and immediately, the order badge on his waist released a ray of light, shooting onto the light barrier. The light barrier rippled, and a path opened up.

The moment he stepped into the second level, the screen automatically closed and everything returned to normal.

This light barrier had a powerful defensive power. Different levels of strength had entered its corresponding level. Initially, only people in the Mortal Realm were allowed to enter the second level, but Qiao Nan was an exception as he was allowed to.

The space on the second floor was relatively smaller, and there were clearly a lot less ancient scrolls.

Only Qiao Nan was left on the second floor.

"Let's find a movement technique first." Qiao Nan was very clear about his lack of battle skill, although Spatial Compression Technique was strong, because of his clumsy learning, it consumed too much energy, and was not suitable for long term battles.

"A ghostly figure." Qiao Nan picked up an ancient book and flipped to the first page, which had an evaluation of this technique.

His body was like that of a ghost, like he was truly illusory, flawed, and energy consuming.

He continued to flip through the pages. The missing pages were all blank.

"Sigh, you still want to secretly learn? Looks like the academy has long since been prepared for this." Qiao Nan placed the book down regretfully.

Here, only the outline and basic introduction of the ancient books were available. Each of the books was placed on top of a metal box. That was where the true ancient books were located.

If he wanted to, he only needed to place his token on the metal box and the box would automatically open.

Qiao Nan's order badge could only be opened three times, he was naturally unwilling to use it on the first time.

This was the movement technique area, and the books on the shelves were filled with mystical movements, causing one's vision to blur.

But Qiao Nan was not in a rush, every book was meticulously selected, and every attempt was made to find the most suitable book for himself.

"Nine steps against the heavens, what a domineering name." Qiao Nan picked up the ancient book, attracted by the name written on it.

He actually dared to take the word "heaven defying" from a movement technique. Could it be that he had some sort of heaven defying ability?

Remarks: Nine steps to go against the heavens, invisible, traceless, able to fly high in the sky, a true high quality movement technique.

It should have been left to the higher-ups, but unfortunately, this ancient book was damaged thousands of years ago, leaving only three steps.

"No wonder it was placed on the second floor. So it's an incomplete." As Qiao Nan held this ancient book, he couldn't help but make up his mind.

Although this footwork technique was incomplete, it could take three steps in the air. Travelling through the air was a great ability that only the experts of the Mortal Sect possessed. It held an enormous advantage in battle.

But was it worth it to exchange this one opportunity for an incomplete copy?

"This one." Qiao Nan clenched his teeth, and placed his order badge on the metal box. The order badge released a ray of light, which was absorbed by the box, causing it to automatically open, and a withered yellow book quietly laid inside.

Qiao Nan solemnly picked up the heaven opposing nine steps and kept it in his bosom.

thought that the three sets of cultivation techniques must be perfectly equipped. One movement technique, one sword technique and one leg technique.

Qiao Nan had stayed in the Scripture Pavilion for a full four hours before he was able to confirm the three arts.

Movement Techniques: Heaven Defying Nine Steps, Leg Techniques: Gale Grass, Sword Art: Heaven Severing Sword Draw

After choosing his skills, he ran down the stairs excitedly. He only needed to wait for the registration before he could start cultivating.

"Lad, are you sure you want to choose these three books?" The old man looked at the three ancient books in Qiao Nan's hands, he was not in a hurry to register, but wanted Qiao Nan to consider carefully.

"Oh, senior, is there a problem?"

"Gale Grass, not bad leg technique, quite good taste." The old man praised, then continued, "Heaven Severing Sword Art only has one sword, killing with one strike. It strives for unparalleled speed. Many people had chosen it before, but they had all given it up in the end."

"Then why?" Qiao Nan was puzzled, wasn't the path of the sword chasing after speed, not being able to kill in one strike, staining with blood the moment the sword was unleashed, what path did the sword follow?

"A single sword strike to kill the enemy. It might seem simple, but it's actually very difficult. How can a sword be faster than the perception of the enemy? From the drawing of the sword to the drawing of the sword, it may seem short, but it is also a very long process. "

As for the nine steps you've chosen, they're even more useless. If it's all there, it would truly be shocking, but this is only an incomplete book. Only the first three steps would be enough.

The old man had already explained the pros and cons, and whether to choose or not was up to Qiao Nan to decide.

"A gentleman has no regrets, only these three books." Qiao Nan's eyes revealed a firm determination.

"Alright, I've registered it. The ancient books are not allowed to be transmitted to outsiders. Those who violate the rules will regret it and be sent back within three months. Otherwise, the punishment would be severe."
