Ace entered the sect library. Upon entering, the air inside was thick with the scent of aged wood, mingled with the faint aroma of burning incense that seemed to hang in the air perpetually. The walls were lined with towering shelves, each one filled with jade scrolls containing the accumulated knowledge of countless generations.
