Armipotent
chapter-1165

Another three minutes passed, and Karoen had not said anything about the scripture. Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, "Hello, Karoen? Did you hear me? Can you tell me about this Scripture?"

There were two choices, one was demonic in nature while the other one had the opposite nature. He needed to know more about the scripture before making his choice, which one was more compatible with him. That would be a waste if he could not use the scripture because he chose the wrong one.

[You can't hear me?] Karoen asked. The Void Knight had been quiet for five minutes in total. [I have been explaining to you about the scripture…] His words trailed off as he realized something, [The System does not allow me to explain about the scripture. But trust me, you want these scriptures more than the other three.]

"I trust you," Tang Shaoyang nodded, "But I still need your help. Which one should I choose? Will it become a problem if the scripture is unsuitable with my nature?"

Since he did not know the use of this scripture, he must be extra careful if the scripture's nature mattered to him. His concern was his demon blood. His first talent made his race evolve with a mix of Dragon, High Human, and Demon. There was a demon's blood in his veins, and the Nine Heavenly Gate Scripture might be unsuitable for him. That was what he wanted to figure out, and that was why he wanted to know the use of the scripture.

Tang Shaoyang explained his race and asked, "Will it become a problem if I choose Nine Heavenly Gates Scripture instead of the Nine Demon Gates Scripture?" He leaned to the heavenly gate since that sounded powerful. The thing that pushed him to choose the demonic scripture was, would it change him? The black left eye was enough mutation for him. He did not want to be a demonic person unless he had no choice. While he did not hate the demon, he still wanted to be as human as possible with all these changes.

[Mnnn… I am not sure about that, but both scriptures should be equal in rank, but I am not quite sure about the nature. The scripture will give you a new type of power. It is different from dark energy and divine energy. I know a demon could not use divine energy like an angel who could use dark energy, but this scripture is different.]

Karoen could not give a definitive answer for Tang Shaoyang since it was not something he knew in depth. The safest choice would be the Nine Demon Gates, but Tang Shaoyang's heart told him to choose the Nine Heavenly Gates.

[Follow your guts!]

That was the Void Knight's last advice before going into silent mode. Everything was in Tang Shaoyang's hands. The other spirits kept their mouths shut as well since they knew nothing about the scripture.

Tang Shaoyang moved his finger and chose the [Nine Heavenly Gates Scripture]. The space cracked open as a bamboo scroll emerged from the crack, floating right in front of Tang Shaoyang. The bamboo scroll shone in brilliant light, not blinding his eyes, but the light gave him a warm sensation.

He grabbed the bamboo scroll, and the word "Nine Heavenly Gates" was written on it. Tang Shaoyang opened the scroll, and he was shot with blinding light. He lost his sight for a moment as he closed his eyes subconsciously. Before he could regain his sight back, his head was flooded with knowledge.

It was knowledge he did not do everything, and in this time he understood why Karoen said the scripture would give him a new type of power. He fell on one of his knees, getting dizzy from the knowledge dump in his head. That was just too much information he could not proceed, giving him a headache. He tried to understand one thing, then a new thing popped into his head.

The condition lasted for thirty minutes. That was just too much for him. Once it was over, he let out a sigh of relief. He regained his footing and also his sight. He let out a long breath, "That was wild."

"But wait…" Tang Shaoyang realized something important, "What if I forget the contents?"

He looked at his hand, but the scroll was no longer in his head. Looking around on the ground yet he could not find the bamboo scroll. He did not realize the bamboo scroll disappeared as soon as he opened it.

[No, you can't forget the content even if you want to. You can try to imagine the scripture. It will come out but in your head. That is System's way to prevent more than one person from learning the content. If you want to teach someone the scripture, you have to teach them manually.]

Once more, Tang Shaoyang let out a relieved sigh. He closed his eyes and imagined the Nine Heavenly Gates Scripture in his head. Just as Karoen said, the information appeared again in his head. However, this time it was not just information, he could see a figure demonstrating the move in the scripture. That was the way the scripture taught him.

The Nine Heavenly Gates Scripture was divided into ten parts, from the most basic to the most powerful one. The first part is titled, First Gate: Refine The Heaven. The name was quite domineering, but it was actually the most basic thing in the scripture.

A figure appeared, sitting cross-legged on top of the mattress. He followed the posture, sitting down cross-legged. Refine The Heaven was to gather internal energy in his Dantian and turn the internal energy into Heavenly Energy. He was confused for a moment, did not know what the internal energy was, but then he found out the internal energy was actually Mana. The scripture had a different term for mana, and that was Internal Energy or Qi.

The scripture told him to gather the mana in his Dantian and refined the mana into Heavenly Energy or Heavenly Qi.

'This is interesting, but where's my Dantian?' He asked himself, checking his own body. Then he found more interesting things while he tried to find Dantian. He found the Dantian, but he also found his Mana Whirlpool where his mana gathered. The interesting part was the Mana Whirlpool was located above his empty Dantian, between his belly and his heart while the Dantian was located between his belly and groin.
