The Primordial Record novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488 The Ancient Library

In the second month of Andar's stay in the Body Farm, he finally gained access to the Ancient Library.

This was a very significant achievement because the Ancient Library was only available to official Mages, and then it was only rewarded to the best among Mages, you could pay to get in, but that cost ran into the hundreds of Origin Shards, an unreasonable figure for most budding Mages to come up with.

Andar had been slowly burning through the hundred Origin Shards given to him by his master as he began gathering all the tools and knowledge he needed for his studies, and in addition to the other surprising ways he was getting money, he barely had 150 Origin Shards.

Andar was a Level 3 Acolyte and he had been able to make it here to this Library, and the story of how he achieved this was both remarkable and hilarious.

When Andar emerged from his retreat inside the Endless Vault and entered the Body Farm, he quickly reunited with Mira and the rest of the Limit Breakers, who by now had created a union titled… you guessed it, Limit Breakers!!!

With three exclamation marks behind their title, Andar did not bother asking why they did that, but Mira suggested that it was the number of times Andar chanted their slogan while inside the floating castle.

Since the Limit Breakers were the most populous group in this set of Acolytes and possessed some of the best Meditation Art, they quickly became a force to be reckoned with inside the Body Farm, with Andar and Mira as their leader.

The Limit Breakers soon dominated every Acolyte inside the Body Farm, gathering most of the Acolytes into their numbers, and only small random factions could stand against them due to the intervention of their teachers who did not want a monopolistic environment, for that would give Andar and Mira too much power. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Inside the Body Farm, there was a maximum amount of three years where every Acolyte was supposed to reach at least Level 3 Acolyte else the amounts of Aether inside the Body Farm would destroy any Acolyte beneath that level.

Perhaps it was because of the presence of Andar, this monster of an Acolyte in their midst but every single Acolyte had broken to the first level and strived hard for the second level, and for the first time in seven thousand years, no single Acolyte died due to Aether corruption.

The Level 3 Acolyte had ten years to break through to become an official Mage else they would be thrown out of the Body Farm, their path to become a Mage of the Black Tower forever cut off.

So the Body Farm was an area where everyone had a time limit hanging over their heads and that reduced the conflict from having tens of thousands of young men and women with supernatural powers staying in a single location for an extended period of time, as everyone knew that their most important assignment was to become a Mage, everything else was secondary.

Yet this did not eliminate all conflict, but Mages were generally a group of people who acted more like scholars and the environment of the Body Farm was one of sturdy and growth, as brief glimpses of the wonders of a Mage's life were shown to the aspiring Acolyte.
