After scrutinizing the map, Severin put it away and turned his attention to the box and the two jade plaques. Both jade plaques were of the same specifications, the only difference being that one was silver and the other was gold. Eliza's restrictions covered them, which suggested that they must be of immense value. Intrigued, Severin reached out and beckoned the two jade plaques toward him, choosing the silver one first.
With a surge of celestial power, he shattered the restriction and delved his divine senses into its depths.
In an instant, a scripture saturated with the essence of death and destruction materialized in Severin's mind.
After a while, Severin slowly opened his eyes as his eyes gleamed with excitement. The jade plaque in his grasp contained the teachings of Eliza, titled the Parnava Scripture. It was an ancient training exercise that focused on the path of death.
Severin showed little enthusiasm for it because the Inner World Skill he trained in was superior to all, including the renowned Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art. Switching to the Parnava Scripture was hardly a thought that ought to be entertained. However, its antiquity intrigued him because it was a technique from a time when the Bleu Celestial Realm had yet to be shattered. It would offer many insights distinct from the contemporary methods.
Notably, Severin discovered two formidable celestial abilities within the Parnava Scripture, sparking his curiosity over them. In the vast realm of possibilities, practitioners harnessed those powers to command the laws of existence. Back when Celestial Emperor Armin achieved enlightenment, he had expounded upon thirty-six such divine techniques and taught another 3,000 minor ones. Each of them bestowed an unparalleled authority that allowed the wielder to mobilise the power of heaven and earth.
Severin found himself rather grateful for the techniques' complexity, as that was probably why Eliza had not mastered any of them. Had those techniques form a part of Eliza's arsenal, then Severin would not have been able to survive that.
After committing the attainment methods of the two techniques to memory, he lamented to himself, "What a shame. According to the records, these thirty-six royal celestial powers remain incomplete due to the fragmentation of the celestial realm. But I guess that is a silver lining, in a way."
Merely perusing the descriptions of those thirty-six abilities was enough to send shivers down Severin's spine, especially as the Divine Restriction Seal and the Ultimate Sublimation were all formidable techniques. The second-ranked Space-Time Reversal, for example, was not just a simple feat of crossing the river of time. It involved wielding supreme power to manipulate time's flow and reverse time!
