Behind the huge statue, there was a row of wooden bookshelves. The wood was of an unknown species. It had spent countless numbers of years without decaying, resulting in it having a thick ancient aura to it and a feeling similar to metal.
On the bookshelves, there were rows of dusty jade scrolls.
Seeing these jade scrolls, an idea flashed in everyone’s minds. Jade scrolls in a mystic realm made it easy to bring to mind cultivation technique manuals.
If they were cultivation technique manuals left behind by the ancient Great Empress, their values would be imaginable.
However, despite everyone eyeing them, no one dared to go forward rashly. They were worried about any possible restrictions. However, nothing changed even when they stood in front of the bookshelves.
Some people gathered their courage and picked a jade scroll up. After they carefully sank their mind into it, they were… greatly disappointed after seeing the content.
The contents of the jade scrolls were historical records about people and events. It had nothing to do with martial arts tradition.
With the passage of times, they could not fully understand many of the ancient words in the jade scrolls. Even so, they could infer something from some of the words.
“So the ancient times were like this… ”
Yi Yun was quite enchanted by it. At that moment, the Great Empress mystic realm’s cold voice echoed once again, “Now, the cultivating begins!”
The moment the sentence came to an end, the bookshelves in front of them separated. An intense beam of light shot out as people squinted at it. In front of them, there was a space that had been sealed for a long time. Inside this space, there was a long stone staircase leading up into the sky.
This stone staircase winded around like a long snake. At the end of the stone staircase, there was a door the size of a palm. The light beam had shot out of that door.
Many cultivators looked at each other. They were curious as to what was at the end of the stone steps, through that door.
“There isn’t only one door of light. There is another door even higher up!”
No one knew who said that. As people focused their vision, they realized that the winding staircase reached a higher spot. There was another door of light there as well.
This door looked to be the size of a thumbnail as it was located very high.
And this door was not the end. The cultivators present had extremely good eyesight. They could see there was another door even higher up, but this door was the size of the eye of a needle.
