Scripture Pavilion, in front of the fifth floor.

The heavy ancient door blocked Ning Tian's path.

Beyond this door lay the most elite techniques waiting for Ning Tian.

Below, a group of disciples watched Ning Tian's figure and swallowed hard. "Is he really going to the fifth floor?"

"No way... that's the fifth floor!"

Some disciples were reluctant to believe it. Even if Ning Tian was the Empress's husband, he shouldn't have the qualifications to enter the fifth floor, right?

The painstaking efforts of past leaders were almost all collected on the fifth floor!

Under the disbelieving gazes of the disciples, Ning Tian suddenly scratched his head and turned around.

Seeing this, the disciples were stunned. It seemed the founder was just going up to take a look?

They breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, they saw Ning Tian take out the shining Golden Ancient Token and ask, "Does anyone know where the keyhole for this ancient door is?"

It turned out that Ning Tian was standing in front of the ancient door because he couldn't find the keyhole!

"What the..."

"That's the key to the fifth floor!"

The disciples were shocked.

The founder really had the key to the fifth floor!

[You have shocked a group of disciples, completing an ordinary shock, and earned 300 years of spiritual cultivation.]

"..."

"Uh... I was just asking, no need to be so shocked..."

Ning Tian felt speechless and looked at the group of disciples.

He suddenly felt that whatever he did seemed to shock them.

"Founder... we don't know..."

"Founder..."

"We don't know..."

The group of disciples shook their heads. They didn't know how to open the fifth floor.

At this moment, an elderly voice sounded.

"I know how to enter."

An old man with red hair slowly walked out from the fourth floor, looking somewhat similar to the previous Ancient Cold Elder.

But judging by his appearance, he seemed to have a fiery temper.

"It's Ancient Flame Elder!"

"Ancient Cold Elder's brother, Ancient Flame Elder!"

"It's said that Ancient Flame Elder's strength is at the emperor level, reaching the Holy Emperor Realm!"

"Holy Emperor Realm... damn..."

The disciples looked at the approaching red-haired elder with admiration, their eyes full of genuine awe.

This was different from the pure fear they had when looking at Ning Tian; it was an awe born from respect for a strong person!

"Oh? You know?"

Ning Tian looked at him, not showing the same reverence as the other disciples.

This made many people sweat nervously for Ning Tian.

Ancient Flame Elder was known for being stubborn. If he didn't respect someone, he wouldn't care about their status.

Back then, Ancient Flame Elder had been so stubborn that he contradicted the Empress and was sent here to guard the Scripture Pavilion.

"It's said that Ancient Flame Elder has a fiery temper. I wonder if he'll be polite to the founder?"

"Probably not..."

"Hehe, maybe we'll see a good show."

The disciples whispered among themselves, ready to watch a spectacle.

"Yes, Founder, I know."

But Ancient Flame Elder showed Ning Tian great respect. "You just need to hold the ancient token and touch the ancient door, and you'll naturally be able to enter."

Seeing Ancient Flame Elder's attitude, the disciples were surprised.

The usually fiery-tempered Ancient Flame Elder was being so polite to Ning Tian?

This was completely different from what they expected!

"Oh? Just hold the ancient token? Thank you." Ning Tian nodded.

"Not at all, Founder, please go in. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Ancient Flame Elder waved his hand politely.

The disciples found this strange; this wasn't the Ancient Flame Elder they remembered.

They still recalled how, not long ago, an outstanding disciple from a sect hall came to the Scripture Pavilion, humbly seeking advice from Ancient Flame Elder, only to be scolded harshly.

But now, towards the founder...

At this moment, Ning Tian held the Golden Ancient Token and reached out to touch the heavy ancient door.

The door shimmered with golden light and rippled like water.

His hand passed through smoothly.

"It really works."

Ning Tian's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he turned and entered the fifth floor.

Seeing this, the disciples were filled with envy.

The techniques and martial arts on the fifth floor were at least profound-level high!

Once Ning Tian left, Ancient Flame Elder's demeanor changed instantly. He glared at the disciples and shouted.

"What are you looking at! Instead of watching, go practice! You bunch of useless brats, get to training! Stop bothering me!"

The disciples were stunned, feeling like crying.

You weren't like this with the founder.

But even if they were dissatisfied, they could only chuckle awkwardly and scratch their heads.

"Ancient Flame Elder is right, is right..."

"We'll go train now..."

Soon, the disciples scattered, not daring to linger or appear in Ancient Flame Elder's sight.

"A bunch of little brats."

Ancient Flame Elder shook his head as he watched the disciples leave, then glanced at the fifth floor, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

"The founder is truly impressive..."

"At the Heavenly Demon Hall, he shattered the Dao hearts of dozens of Holy Sons and Divine Sons with a single word. Damn, that was satisfying!"

"These geniuses are nothing compared to the founder!"

...

Scripture Pavilion, fifth floor.

Row upon row of bookshelves stood before Ning Tian.

Each row held a scroll, sealed with spiritual energy.

"So many good things..."

Ning Tian's eyes sparkled as he considered which one to open.

But just then, the Golden Ancient Token in his hand flew out, and a line of golden text appeared.

Ning Tian looked over.

After a moment, he smirked.

What kind of ridiculous rule was this?

After entering the fifth floor, each scroll could be viewed.

But here's the catch.

He could only view the introductions of the techniques and martial arts, and after choosing one he was satisfied with, he could use the ancient token to lift the spiritual seal on the scroll.

In other words.

Even with all the treasures on the fifth floor, Ning Tian could only take one!

Ning Tian gritted his teeth.

He really wanted to find the person who set this rule and give them a piece of his mind.

Having meat but not being able to eat it.

This feeling was frustrating!

But not eating the meat would be foolish.

Ning Tian could only go through the pile of technique and martial arts scrolls one by one.

"Profound-level high martial art, Mountain-breaking Fist, power to shatter mountains..."

He casually picked up a scroll, the words "Mountain-breaking Fist" written in bold strokes.

"Power to shatter mountains, this seems good..."

"No, no... the Mountain-breaking Fist is nice, but my goal is a technique..."

Ning Tian muttered to himself.

Then, he put the martial arts scroll back and looked at the other scrolls.
