Chapter 2005 Dao Tablets

Elder Shang walked up the other side of the room and pulled out a stone tablet just like every single other one. She then handed it over to Alex.

Alex looked at the thing, surprised to see that it was somehow already carved with his name on it and a number to the side in the 6 digit.

"What is this, Elder Shang?" Alex asked.

"It's a Dao tablet," the woman answered. "It is what we used to keep track of our disciples and their health. It is connected to you, so we can see how you are doing in the world without having to keep our eyes on you."

Alex looked around at the many tablets that filled the entire room. "Then... these are all disciples?" he asked.

"Disciples and elders," the woman answered.

Alex couldn't fathom the number he was seeing. The place was stacked with tablets and it was well in the upper 20 thousand. "So many," he said to himself.

"Of course," the woman said. "This place records all disciples since the beginning of the Blue Silk sect."

Alex paused. "Since the beginning?" he asked. That... didn't seem right to him. The nearly 30 thousand individuals of the sect made sense, but only for the current period. The Blue Silk sect was a very old sect, so how could it only have this few disciples?

"Isn't this too few?" Alex asked. "Or does the Blue Silk sect not take in that many disciples?" he asked. That didn't seem right. They took 400 disciples every century, so it had to be a lot.

"Oh, no. What you see isn't all the tablets. Most of the tablets from the past, especially ones belonging to disciples who have died are no longer here. When they die, the tablet loses its aura, which lets us know that they died. Those ones we keep in a secure place inside this building that you won't see."

"Ah!" Alex thought and looked at the tablet in his hand. "Do I just pour my Qi into it?" "Yes," the woman said. "It will bond to you and the registration will be complete."

Alex was a little surprised to hear that. He hadn't expected the Blue Silk sect to be looking after the secret realm. Maybe he wasn't wrong in getting their tickets.

"I will look forward to when it opens then," Alex said. "You should," the woman said. "I do not know what treasure Brother Sixghost left behind, but considering his closeness with the then Saber god, it has to be something significant."

Alex nodded. 'Saber god, huh?' he thought. He wondered if Godslayer knew about the guy. 'I'll have to ask him when he wakes up.'

They walked out of the building and the formations ran back up, making the building untouchable.

"Congratulations. You are now officially a member of the sect," Elder Shang said.

Alex gave back a bright smile. "Thank you, Elder Shang."

Elder Shang took him away from the First Mountain to the inner sect. Alex observed the various mountains as he was taken away. He came to realize that the Qi here was stronger than the ones back in the Newsky city and perhaps would continue to be stronger once he moved away from here.

A few uninhabited mountains later, they arrived at a tall mountain with a large building standing at the summit. Alex came to know that it was a skill library after listening to the elder.

"Every new disciple gets to pick two skills from the library. Go in and look at what you want. You have 2 days to do so."

"Skills?" Alex asked in surprise, looking back at the magnificent tower that was the library. He hadn't expected that the first thing he would do after entering the sect was get a skill.

"What do you lack in your cultivation? Tell me, I'll suggest you some skills to get and learn," she said.

"Hmm," Alex thought. What was he missing really?

There were so many skills that he had learned in the past that were no longer useful as their grade wasn't the highest. Even after Alex improved them to their peak, they were still not as good as any other technique might have been.

After thinking for a decent amount of time, he decided that there were two types of techniques that he desperately needed.
