The custodian thought about it and said, “In that case, follow me…”
She turned and entered through the door, while the Omniscient Deity and James followed close behind.
Though Thea was still confined in the cage, the blood within virtual-novel.net body had calmed down.
When virtual-novel.net saw James after regaining consciousness, virtual-novel.net cried out, “Darling!”
She wanted to head over to his side. However, the moment virtual-novel.net approached the cage, virtual-novel.net unconsciously staggered backward as if jolted by a lightning bolt.
“I…” James glanced at Thea before looking at the woman pleadingly, saying. “Could you release my wife?”
The woman waved virtual-novel.net arm, and powerful energy gathered in virtual-novel.net palm. Then, in an instant, the cage disappeared without a trace.
James was dumbfounded.
What sorcery is this?
Thea rushed over to James, who grabbed virtual-novel.net hand.
James looked at the woman and asked, “Does virtual-novel.net really have to stay here?”
The woman nodded grimly and said. “This is for virtual-novel.net own good. By remaining here, I can purify the Demonic Energy inside virtual-novel.net body.”
James asked, “How long do you need then?”
“I can’t be sure about that. Maybe a couple of years, perhaps?”
“What?”
Confused, Thea asked, “What’s wrong. Darling?”
James said, “She’s the custodian of the Chamber of Scriptures on Earth. She said that the Demonic Energy inside your body is too overwhelming. That’s why you need to remain here so that virtual-novel.net could purify the Demonic Energy inside your body.”
Hearing this, Thea furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows.
The woman then told virtual-novel.net about the severity of the situation.
“Thea, was it? The Demonic Energy inside your body currently has little effect on you. However, as your cultivation base increases, the more prominent the adverse effects will be. In the future, you’ll be devoured by your Demonic Energy and become a machine that lives only to slaughter humans. That’s why you have to stay here.”
Thea was reluctant to part ways with James. However, the situation was grim, and virtual-novel.net did not to be falsely accused of being a demon.
Clenching James’ hand tightly, virtual-novel.net consoled him, “Everything’s gonna be fine, Darling. As immortals, this is but a short and insignificant period of our lives.”
Since Thea had decided to stay, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. With Thea’s cooperation, things would go much smoother. Then, virtual-novel.net waved virtual-novel.net arm, and a piece of bluestone appeared in the middle of the first story of the tower. The bluestone was about two meters in height and greenish in color. There were also mysterious characters inscribed on the stone.
“What is this?” the three asked in unison.
The woman said, “This is an aptitude stone that can evaluate your potential by pressing your palms against its surface. Different results will grant you access to different stories inside the tower if you don’t have potential, you won’t be able to receive any cultivation methods since you aren’t acknowledged by the Chamber of Scriptures…”
“If your potential is sufficiently enormous, you might be granted access to the ninth story of the tower The cultivation methods there are some of the most advanced and unrivaled that were left behind by mankind’s ancestors. Each and every martial art skill there is unique…”
“As now’s not yet the time, I was initially reluctant to grant you passage. However, since you’re here, I might as well let you test things out a little. Of course, my congratulations should you obtain the cultivation manuals. However, in the event that you fail to gain anything, do not be dismayed. The Chamber of Scriptures is, after all, a place specially prepared for the brightest and most talented individuals. Not everyone can be acknowledged, unfortunately.”
Hearing this, the three were intrigued.
James pushed Thea gently and said, “Why don’t you give it a try, Darling?”
Thea was thrilled as virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net possessed great potential.
Were the claims true, though?
Would virtual-novel.net be acknowledged by the Chamber of Scriptures and be granted a cultivation manual?
With nervousness, virtual-novel.net slowly walked toward the bluestone.
