After leaving the Earth Origin Hall, Ning Tian immediately channeled his spiritual energy, stepping into the Dragon Step, his body moving like a dragon as he headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.
The entire range of the Heavenly Demon Sect was vast.
Each mountain peak was a grand hall, and the distance between each hall was quite far.
Back when Ning Tian ran from where Luo Wuqing lived to the Heavenly Demon Hall, it took him several dozen minutes.
...
The Dragon Step, a profound-level technique, was indeed reliable.
With Ning Tian pushing it to its limits, it only took a few minutes to reach the Scripture Pavilion.
Most importantly, he discovered something crucial.
It was because his body stored a large amount of spiritual energy that he could continuously use the Dragon Step!
There was no need to worry about running out of spiritual energy.
This feeling was exhilarating!
Ahead was the Scripture Pavilion.
The massive and magnificent ancient building had five floors.
It was said that the Heavenly Demon Sect's successive leaders had collected all the martial arts techniques and skills in it throughout their lives.
And with each floor upward, the quality of the techniques increased.
Many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were lined up in front of the Scripture Pavilion.
Each one was waiting to enter.
Ning Tian also urgently needed a high-quality technique, as the spiritual energy within him had accumulated like a mountain.
The purpose of a technique was to channel it to the right places in the body.
This would also help to speed up cultivation.
...
Ning Tian walked over.
Seeing the line that stretched like a dragon, he couldn't help but frown and mutter, "Such a long line? It'll take forever to get in."
"Hey, you don't know, do you?" His muttering was overheard by a chubby disciple in front of him.
The chubby disciple chuckled, "Junior Brother, you must be new here. Lining up for three days and nights at the Scripture Pavilion is quite normal."
"Oh, really?"
Ning Tian frowned.
If it really took three days and nights, he couldn't wait that long and would have to use some privileges.
"Yes... But Junior Brother, don't worry, with me here, your queueing journey... Whoa, Patriarch!"
The chubby disciple turned around and looked at Ning Tian.
His expression changed instantly, his chubby face squeezing into a ball.
Patriarch!?
Swish!
Swish swish!
The entire long line turned their heads in unison, their gazes falling on Ning Tian.
"Oh my, it really is the Patriarch!"
"The Patriarch is so handsome!"
"I want to have the Patriarch's babies! Patriarch, let's elope!"
"Patriarch..."
"..."
In an instant, a group of female disciples had stars in their eyes, saying shameless things, and some even kept winking at Ning Tian.
Due to the attraction of the Divine Charm Physique, they forgot about the Empress's terror.
The male disciples were all gritting their teeth, full of envy.
This novel is available on "pawread dot com".
Not only did Ning Tian marry the Empress, but it seemed he was also capturing the hearts of many female disciples!
"..."
Hearing the shouts from the female disciples, Ning Tian was speechless.
This Divine Charm Physique was simply attracting too much attention.
If that woman Luo Wuqing found out, who knows what would happen!
"System, I hate you!"
Ning Tian cursed the system fiercely, then ignored the disciples' gazes and bypassed the long queue.
He directly used his privilege to reach the front of the Scripture Pavilion.
Seeing the Patriarch arrive, the disciples respectfully made way for him.
When the Patriarch arrives, naturally, he should go in first.
Inside the door of the Scripture Pavilion was a registration counter.
An old man with white hair was recording the detailed information of the disciples entering.
"Next..."
Sensing someone entering, the old man with white hair didn't look up, his brush still moving.
"Name..."
"Hall..."
"Ning Tian, I don't know the hall..." Hearing the old man's words, Ning Tian replied honestly.
As for the hall, he really didn't know.
Every disciple entering the Heavenly Demon Sect was assigned a hall, each mountain gate being a hall.
As for the previous Ning Tian, he really didn't have a hall.
After all... He was just a lowest disciple, what hall would he need?
"No hall?"
The old man with white hair was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What did you just say your name was?"
"Ning Tian..."
As soon as Ning Tian said this, he had a bad feeling.
Could it be... This old man would also call him Patriarch?
As soon as the thought crossed Ning Tian's mind.
The old man with white hair showed a respectful expression and said, "Ancient Cold Elder greets the Patriarch!"
Ning Tian: "..."
This old man was old enough to be his grandfather!
Moreover, in cultivation, one couldn't judge by appearance, he might even be old enough to be a great-grandfather!
Being called Patriarch by someone so much older, this feeling...
"Alright, alright, don't make it a big deal, we're all part of the Heavenly Demon Sect, one family." Ning Tian waved his hand, wanting to quickly get rid of this Ancient Cold Elder and enter the Scripture Pavilion.
"As expected of the Patriarch! Just a few words and he's thinking about the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
Hearing Ning Tian's words, influenced by the Divine Charm Physique, the Ancient Cold Elder found Ning Tian more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Those old fools used to say the Patriarch was a waste, they were blind!"
"..."
Seeing the Ancient Cold Elder's excited look, Ning Tian suddenly felt that the Divine Charm Physique had some benefits?
"So, Ancient Cold Elder, can I go in now?"
"Of course you can."
The Ancient Cold Elder nodded, taking out a golden ancient token from the counter, "Patriarch, this is the key to the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, you can go anywhere from the first to the fifth floor!"
The key to the fifth floor!
Hearing this, the disciples outside were filled with envy!
The fifth floor. Besides the Empress and the Great Elder, Supreme Elder, and other elders, no one had been there.
Not to mention the disciples!
Even disciples who made outstanding contributions to the Heavenly Demon Sect had only been to the fourth floor!
Unexpectedly, the Patriarch was going straight to the fifth floor!
"Oh? The fifth floor?" Ning Tian was taken aback, satisfied as he took the golden ancient token.
This Ancient Cold Elder knew how to handle things!
Under the envious gazes of the disciples, Ning Tian, holding the ancient token, walked directly into the Scripture Pavilion.
The first floor of the Scripture Pavilion mostly contained yellow-level martial arts techniques, generally for new outer disciples to choose introductory martial arts and techniques.
Naturally, Ning Tian's gaze wouldn't linger here.
If he was going up, he was heading straight for the fifth floor!
Inside the Scripture Pavilion, seeing Ning Tian suddenly appear, many disciples' expressions changed, then they respectfully called out Patriarch!
However, Ning Tian was already used to it.
"Which floor is the Patriarch going to?"
"Probably the third or fourth floor, but mostly the third floor."
"After all, the Patriarch's strength is evident."
Inside the Scripture Pavilion, a group of disciples watched Ning Tian, discussing among themselves.
Just then, a voice came from above.
"Patriarch, the Patriarch is going to the fifth floor!"
At this moment, the disciples' expressions changed!
"Oh my!"
"The fifth floor!"
"The Patriarch is forever a legend, amazing!"
