Checking in for 100,000 Years

"We shouldn't startle the snake by hitting the grass..."

The Big Black Horse chuckled leisurely, shook his head, a look of disapproval appearing in his bright black eyes.

He naturally grasped the Big Black Cat's meaning. It was to rough up the young man in blue and directly force out the whereabouts of the Dragon God Sect. This was indeed the quickest and most effective method.

But the Big Black Horse had his own ideas. The Master had finally given him some time off, and only a few days had passed? If he completed the task so swiftly, wouldn't that eliminate much of the fun? He usually pulled the carriage diligently, and his life, as placid as still water, truly held no joy. The Master probably assigned him this task of investigating the Dragon God Sect because he saw how lonely he was.

Therefore, the Big Black Horse vowed in his heart that he absolutely could not disappoint the Master's solemn trust.

This mission must not be completed crudely and swiftly. After all, for an Eternal Realm Great Demon like him, investigating a sect in a small place like the Heavenly Star Dynasty was far too easy. It could be done in minutes. The Master had entrusted such an easy task to him, surely wanting him to enjoy himself for a while longer.

"Uncle Ma, then we... should we keep waiting?" the Big Black Cat said helplessly, lowering his head in dejection.

He really couldn't understand Uncle Ma's mentality.

SMACK!

The Big Black Horse rapped the Big Black Cat on the head.

"Little Cat, look at your lack of spirit! You're like a shrew all day long! A mere low-grade major sect—if I were to investigate it, wouldn't it be child's play? Why don't you properly ponder the Master's intentions?"

The Big Black Horse lectured him for a moment.

"Oh!" The Big Black Cat blinked, carefully savoring Uncle Ma's words and gradually coming to understand.

Then, the two of them sat cross-legged behind a large tree and began cultivating the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye.

「The next day, early in the morning.」

The young man in blue set off on his journey again, with the two following closely behind.

By noon, a majestic mountain, resembling a giant dragon, loomed into their view.

The young man in blue descended, heading towards one of the mountain peaks.

"We finally made it!"

The Big Black Cat shielded his eyes with his hand, gazing at the terraced pavilions and buildings on the distant mountain range, an excited smile spreading across his face.

The plaque above the mountain gate bore the three ancient characters for "Dragon God Sect."

"Uncle Ma, what should we do next?" the Big Black Cat asked hurriedly.

"We'll go to the Scripture Hall first and see what kind of Cultivation Techniques they have..."

The Big Black Horse's eyes darted around, an idea immediately forming in his mind.

"Uncle Ma, this sect has cultivators of the Destiny Realm. My cultivation base isn't high enough. How about... you take me in?"

The Big Black Cat wore a troubled expression, scratching his head.

The Dragon God Sect before them was a low-grade major sect, but it also had great cultivators of the Destiny Realm presiding over it.

He himself was only at the Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer.

He was afraid he would be discovered the moment he landed within the Dragon God Sect.

"Alright, I'll take you there!"

The Big Black Horse readily agreed. He concealed his Super Divine Dragon Breath, enveloped them in a ray of light, and with lightning speed, shot towards the Dragon God Sect opposite them.

As an Eternal Realm Great Demon, the Big Black Horse was naturally formidable.

The Mountain Protection Array showed no reaction as he entered the Dragon God Sect.

None of the Destiny Realm cultivators could sense his presence.

The Big Black Horse scanned his surroundings and descended directly at the entrance of the Scripture Hall.

There was no one at the entrance at that moment. The Big Black Horse blew lightly on the door, and it swung open. He grabbed the Big Black Cat and darted inside in a flash.

The door closed again.

Just then, an old man looked up and suddenly saw two young men in black barging in. His eyes widened instantly.

"You are..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his head suddenly tilted, and he fainted completely.

This old man guarding the Scripture Repository was merely a cultivator at the Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer, far from being a match for the Big Black Horse, a Heaven-Destined Great Demon.

Thus, the Big Black Horse's mediocre Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye had directly knocked the old man unconscious.

"We're finally in!"

The Big Black Horse grinned slyly and set the Big Black Cat down on the ground.

"There are many Cultivation Techniques here. We should split up to look for them. If we find any similar ones, we'll take them all..." the Big Black Horse said with a smile.

"Uncle Ma, why don't we just take all the Cultivation Technique manuals in the entire Scripture Hall!" the Big Black Cat exclaimed excitedly.

"Are you looking to die?"

The Big Black Horse immediately gave him a rap on the head, scolding loudly, "What would we do with all of them? Did you intend for the Master to see them?"

"That's not what I meant..."

The Big Black Cat looked sheepish and shook his head, muttering.

"The Master sent us to investigate, so we should act like investigators. There are many Cultivation Techniques here; we're only looking for the useful ones. As for the useless ones—even if you fancy them, I, Uncle Ma, wouldn't give them a second glance!" the Big Black Horse stated arrogantly, then gave the Big Black Cat another rap on the head.

The Big Black Cat rubbed his head, wincing.

But he recovered quickly, darting over to a nearby bookshelf and beginning to flip through the books.

The Big Black Horse didn't stay idle either. He casually picked up a Cultivation Technique manual and began to flip through it rapidly.

The sound of rustling pages echoed through the Scripture Hall.

Both of them moved with incredible speed.

The Big Black Horse, in particular, flipped through pages at least ten times faster than the Big Black Cat.

"Found it! This movement technique seems somewhat similar to the Dragon God Body Technique..."

The Big Black Cat held up a book, a slightly yellowed, ancient manual.

"Put it away for now!" the Big Black Horse ordered.

He continued to browse through other Cultivation Techniques, and soon, they had reviewed every technique on the first level of the Scripture Hall.

The Big Black Horse also found a swordsmanship technique that bore a thirty percent resemblance to the swordsmanship used by the young man in blue.

Several words were written on this manual.

"Flying Dragon Sword Art."

This can be called Flying Dragon Sword Art? What a pretentious name!

The Big Black Horse sneered dismissively and tucked the manual away.

The two of them advanced to the second floor.

The Dragon God Sect's Scripture Repository had a total of three levels.

On the second floor, they also found two or three manuals similar to the Dragon God Sect's swordsmanship.

Of course, the resemblance was less than ten percent.

It still wasn't the kind of Clan Sealing Sword Techniques that the young man in blue possessed.

It seems it must be on the third floor...

The Big Black Horse smiled hopefully and led the Big Black Cat to the third floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, there weren't as many Cultivation Techniques; only three were displayed on a table.

The Big Black Horse's keen gaze swept over them.

"Dragon's Heart Method!"

"Dragon God Body Technique!"

"Dragon God Sword Technique!"

After clearly seeing the words on these few manuals, the Big Black Horse was stunned.

What the hell... How are these named exactly the same as the Dragon God Sect's Three Ultimate Techniques?
