Chapter 799 Four Pillars: Exploring the Gates of Awakening

Swoosh!

Walking through the rift he had opened, Valyr expected himself to appear in a courtyard similar to the one the Gates of Enlightenment had, with all of the important buildings found in similar locations.

Surprisingly, the young man's hunch was correct, inwardly grinning after finding out that he had indeed appeared in what looked to be the center of a courtyard.

However, unlike the courtyard the Gates of Enlightenment had, the Gates of Awakening's courtyard occupied at ten times as much area, prompting the important buildings within the courtyard to take up such massive space.

"Woah..." With his delight swiftly replaced with awe as he looked around his surroundings, Valyr began to walk through the area for a bit, wanting to get a better idea of what the Gates of Awakening was like.

In many more ways than one, the Gates of Awakening was actually quite similar to the Gates of Enlightenment. nove(l)bi(n.)com

The most important buildings were located in the cardinal directions of the courtyard, while the buildings that held lesser importance could be found in the intercardinal directions.

In between those buildings were the various houses and miscellaneous buildings that filled in the blanks, giving Valyr the feeling that the Gates of Awakening housed a large yet tight-knit community.

"Large, tight-knit, and rich," muttered the young man sometime later as the thought came to mind.

If the buildings within the Gates of Enlightenment exuded a slight air of majesty and opulence due to its minimalistic design, then the Gates of Awakening did the exact opposite.

From the buildings that housed knowledge on the four pillars of production, to even the small houses that covered what seemed the periphery of the courtyard, all of them gave off an air of extreme opulence.

Exquisite carvings, precious materials, such things were put to great use by the various buildings, causing Valyr to scratch his head for a bit as he took it all in.

Having experienced the barrier bar his entry multiple times at this point, Valyr already knew what to do, extending his right arm as the energy barrier sent out a bit of its energy to wrap around it.

"Only those with an authority level of 2 and above are permitted to enter the True Blacksmith Archive," said a monotonous voice not long after, prompting Valyr to wonder for a bit as to why even the knowledge repositories themselves had a security check in place.

In the end, the young man pushed the thought aside as he felt that the barrier was finished scanning him.

"Verifying... authority has been verified to be Level 6." Hearing these words being uttered out by the monotonous voice, Valyr's eyes widened in surprise as he did not expect his initial level of authority to be so high.

Fortunately, the monotonous voice had explained why his authority was so high, possibly considering that he had just entered the Gates of Awakening for the first time.

"User has cleared all of the trials of the Gates of Awakening, improving their initial authority to Level 3. User has also gained three additional authority levels through the trial's challenges, increasing their initial authority to Level 6."

"You are permitted to enter the True Blacksmith Archive." Nodding in understanding at the voice's words, Valyr watched as the energy barrier collapsed on itself, prompting him to take a deep breath as he made his way deeper into the True Blacksmith Archive.

Similar to the Blacksmith Knowledge Repository back in the Gates of Enlightenment, the young man quickly found himself surrounded by rows upon rows of shelves filled to the brim with various documents and books.

But as he had already gone through the process in the past, he soon touched the nearest shelf, causing a prompt to appear in front of his vision not long after.

Ding!

[Would you like to obtain all the information within this space?]

Naturally, after seeing the prompt before him...

Valyr said yes.
