Chapter 101: Ground Floor
After resting for a while, the two men finally focused their attention on the castle in front of them. Well, they called it a castle, but it wasn’t very large. From outside, they could only see about three floors.
However, the design of the building was incredibly ornate. One could tell that the building was very detailed and was made to look refined and opulent.
However, time had laid its hands on the building. After who knows how long, most of the intricate designs had withered away. Leaving only an ancient-looking building behind.
However, it seemed that the building was made with good quality materials. Even though most of the intricate designs had been eroded due to the passage of time, the building still stood strong, with no sign of crumbling anytime soon.
The two approached the entrance, where they faced two gigantic doors. The doors were like the rest of the building. Faint traces of intricate design could be seen on them, but most of them had faded away with time.
Julian stepped forward and pushed the two doors open. The doors gave little resistance and were quickly forced open by Julian.
The moment they stepped inside, the massive doors groaned shut behind them, sealing with a finality that made the young man flinch. But no trap sprang. No hidden mechanism activated.
Only silence.
The castle’s interior was vast but eerily empty, no guardians, no formations, just a staircase at the far end, leading to a different floor. A faint, golden light emanated from above, illuminating the dust motes drifting lazily in the air.
Julian’s sharp eyes scanned the ground floor. There wasn’t much here. There were five shelves that were filled with books and scrolls. In the corner was a large pile of Qi stones. On another wall was a rack filled with different kinds of weapons.
Julian immediately went to the shelves and started inspecting them. He took one of the books on it, and sure enough, it was a cultivation technique. He quickly read through it and found out it was a cultivation technique that could help someone reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
