Chapter 20 - Biometric Scan

A long dark hallway with a barrel-shaped ceiling, at the end of the hall, was an illuminating object, Aryan was a little drowsy and intoxicated even though it was not a physical transfer. He sat on the floor and performed some mind-clearing arts.

After sobering up he looked towards the illuminating object with eyes of curiosity, 'If that's the cultivation technique that I received, do I have to decode it to practice?'.

He took a step forward "clack" a ceiling light lit up, he took another step and lit up another. With every step he took, a light on the ceiling lit up and after twenty steps he reached near the illuminating object. On top of a stand, there was placed a black and white scroll with golden fire-colored dragon patterns engraved on it.

Aryan looked at the scroll from every corner and angle before touching it, searching for any traps near it. Then the unknown sound reverberated again "Oh the chosen one, this scroll is destined to be yours now, no need to be cautious of any traps, open it and embrace a part of your powers".

Aryan nodded his head and reached his hand

towards the scroll. Suddenly it emitted a dazzling brilliance of light up all the corners of the rooms, Aryan was dazed and taken aback by this, thereafter the dazzling radiance weakened and return to its previous state.

Aryan's excitement was reaching up to the heaven at that time, he tried to open the scroll and spread it out but then a tragedy occurred, that damn stubborn scroll didn't open up. Not even a little, he tried to use his full strength as a five-year-old kid but no, it won't open means it won't open no matter how much you try.

Aryan was pissed off to the core so he was about to smash the scroll on the floor when the voice reverberated again "Wait wait oh the chosen one it has two biometric locks, one is a fingerprint lock another is a face unlock."

Aryan "...."

"Oho"

Aryan eyes were twitching, hands itching, he swore to himself if he ever met the owner of this voice, he will spank him/her to his heart's content. When he examined the scroll from a near distance, he found a small finger-sized silver plate, he placed his thumb on it as a test.

Suddenly one of the dragon patterns on the scroll vanished, Aryan clicked again on that plate *Flash* "Verification complete" sounded a mechanical voice, the scroll slowly began to hover in the air.

Instead of opening like a legendary scroll, it opened like a high tech modern equipment, with a lot of smoke coming out of it. To begin with, it was not a scroll, but a shell in the shape of a scroll, inside of it was a platinum color ring with a dragon carved on it. Unconsciously Aryan raised his hand and made a gesture to the ring, it came flying and fitted itself on his right-hand ring finger.

After wearing the ring Aryan's body trembled, he was sweating rivers, his eyes were emitting light and with a *thud* he felt on the ground, his consciousness was dragged inside the ring.

Inside the ring, thousands of scriptures were flying around, at the center of it stood Aryan, only one voice was echoing in his ears "Oh the chosen one I the Sage Of Harmony, will bestow my all teachings to you, but before that, answer a question of mine," Aryan blinked his eyes once to accept his test he was thinking in his mind 'so the time has come to decode the technique!!?'.

"No my boy the power I am bestowing upon you is already decoded, instead of decoding you have to answer a question of mine."

Aryan took a deep breath and said "please begin."

"Say the answer to my question, if there is dark there is light and if there is light there is dark, the balancing cycle between the two is called Harmony, similarly if there is birth there is death and if there is death there is birth, tell me the balancing cycle between the two."

"Cycle Of Rebirth", this is the only answer Aryan could think of at that moment, the balancing cycle between birth and death, he had experienced it, so without any hesitations he spoke, "The Cycle Of Rebirth, is the answer to your question right??"

"Wahahaha wahahahahah, I knew from the beginning that you know the answer."

'You sound fuck** why did you ask then'

"Cough cough who sound fuck**??"

'Fck he is even reading my mind too!!'

"No boy it's not like I am reading your mind, our minds are interconnected the moment you got your cultivation technique."

"So now I can't even think freely??", asked Aryan in an irritated voice.

"Hehehehehe"

"Don't give me a hehehehe, it makes me remember my mom's laugh."

"Jokes aside, this power is destined to be yours, the question I asked you and the answer you gave, you must remember both while using your power from now on."

Aryan couldn't understand what the voice was saying and was about to utter something when the voice interrupted, "You will understand during its use, for now, let me unlock it for you."

"Unlock"

Yes, unlock, generally, children of your age during their first awakening get a cultivation technique set from the universe and decode it to learn its content, but you are a special existence."
