Darkness immediately descended the moment Zhou Yuan stepped into the Ancient Manuals Tower. This did not last for long, however, as starlight quickly rose from beneath his feet, and spread outwards. 

　　A starlit walkway appeared in front of him, as countless glowing b.a.l.l.s floated up along the sides of the walkway like bubbles.

　　When Zhou Yuan stared closely at these glowing bubble-like b.a.l.l.s, he could faintly see the faint silhouette of some kind of object within them. 

　　"The items inside should be Genesis Qi techniques, Genesis Runes, Genesis Weapons…" Zhou Yuan pondered. However, there was no way for him to know the contents of the b.a.l.l.s. As such, he had no way of deducing their worth. 

　　Looks like everything will be up to luck. 

　　"No wonder he said it's up to one's fate." Zhou Yuan gave a bitter laugh. One will be sent out after selecting a glowing ball, even if it turned out to be empty.

　　Zhou Yuan hesitated as he looked at the glowing b.a.l.l.s, not immediately making his choice. Instead, he began to walk forward, dodging the b.a.l.l.s that drifted towards him as he advanced.

　　He planned to have a proper look around first.

　　He continued to walk as his gaze swept about. Meanwhile, his Spirit sensors also reached out in an attempt to peek into the b.a.l.l.s. 

　　However, his attempts were fruitless, as if the b.a.l.l.s were able to block his Spirit senses. As a result, even Zhou Yuan's mid Corporeal stage Spirit failed to pry into the secrets within them. 

　　"Can I only pick one at random?" Zhou Yuan frowned. If he did so, he would simply be leaving everything up to chance. It had not been easy for him to come across an opportunity to enter the Ancient Manuals Tower, and it really felt like a waste if he really left everything up to fate.

　　He mumbled under his breath for a brief period, before a certain idea suddenly dawned upon him. 

　　"If ordinary methods do not work, what about… the Decoder Saint Rune?"

　　He immediately acted on his thoughts, and the Decoder Saint Rune located in the depths of his pupils began to spin. As it spun, he cast his gaze towards the floating glowing b.a.l.l.s again. To his delight, he saw lights of varying intensities appear inside the b.a.l.l.s. 

　　Though he still could not tell what these objects were, he could now deduce the quality of these items based on the intensity of the pulsing light within. 

　　From the looks of it, it was clear that the stronger the light, the better the item. 

　　There were also several b.a.l.l.s that were completely empty, lacking any light within them. This was likely because there was nothing inside, and anyone who picked one of them would leave empty-handed. 

　　Joy appeared on Zhou Yuan's face. With the Decoder Saint Rune, he no longer had to grope about in the dark. 

　　Hence, he slowed down as he continued to walk forward, the Decoder Saint Rune in his pupils surveying every ball he pa.s.sed. 

　　The time it took to burn half an incense stick soon pa.s.sed. Along the way, Zhou Yuan found four b.a.l.l.s that had the brightest interiors. According to his estimates, the treasures within these four b.a.l.l.s should be equivalent to a Heaven tier technique.

　　Zhou Yuan involuntarily licked his lips, a fiery expression burning in his eyes. A Heaven tier technique was extremely rare even in a place like the Cangxuan Sect. In fact, there was no way an ordinary disciple would obtain something of that level without some kind of major accomplishment or contribution.
