Shrek Academy's Treasury, the Secrets of the Demon Plane

"Elder Jin, may I go and take a look?" Jiang Xiu suppressed his anger and asked Elder Jin.

Elder Jin pointed inside the portal and said with a smile, "Of course, don't be shy, just treat yourself like you're at home."

This Golden Ancient Tree is his original form, and the treasure trove was built inside his body, so isn't it his?

Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, and then he and Elder Jin stepped into the light gate. In just a moment, his vision shifted, and Jiang Xiu found himself in a spacious treasure vault.

The entire treasure vault was radiant with light and color, covering an area of over a hundred square meters, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of various treasures.

Soul Bone, elixirs, Battle Armor, rare metals... each type of treasure has its own area. Any one of these items would be priceless outside, but here they are piled up almost like heaps.

The Soul Bone of all sizes were arranged according to their age, covering an entire wall. The top layer contained more Soul Bone of the 100,000-year level than two hands and two feet. The Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, 1,000-year, and 100-year Soul Bone were also displayed, creating a dazzling display.

"Twenty thousand years of heritage, that's no exaggeration." Seeing this scene, even Jiang Xiu, with his composure, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, his throat going dry.

He had thought that the Body Sect, with Leng Yaozhu's support, was pretty good, but now compared to the Shrek Academy, their Body Sect was more like a slum.

If a few Soul Bone were missing, Shrek Academy probably wouldn't even notice.

"Hey, Xiao Xiu, this is the Secret of the Body you wanted." Just as Jiang Xiu was sighing, Elder Jin waved his aged hand slightly, and a secret manual radiating an ancient, dark golden light flew from a bookshelf and landed in Jiang Xiu's hand.

This ancient manual is made of some unknown material; it feels somewhat like animal hide to the touch, yet possesses an indestructible quality. On the first page of the manual are four large, gilded characters: The Secret of the Body!

Jiang Xiu took a deep breath and began to read with a focused gaze. With each page turned, the coldness in Jiang Xiu's eyes intensified, and his face grew increasingly ashen.

"Bang!" After quickly and roughly browsing through the Secret of the Body, Jiang Xiu closed it, making a dull sound in the silent treasure vault.

"What a Shrek Academy! It's really great!" Stroking the complete Secret of the Body, Jiang Xiu gritted his teeth, almost laughing out of anger.

This Shrek Academy, which is so ridiculous, even gave them a secret manual of the Body Sect, but it was only one-third of the complete version!

The missing combat techniques and various methods for circulating qi and blood that his master had guessed were all in this, including various methods for stimulating the Martial Soul Second Awakening, all of which Shrek Academy had not returned to their Body Sect.

"That's not right," Jiang Xiu suddenly seemed to realize something and looked abruptly at Elder Jin, "Elder Jin, you just said that it was our Body Sect's predecessors who came to us nine thousand years ago, not Shrek Academy that returned it voluntarily, right?"

"That's how it is." Elder Jin nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's knuckles, gripping the Secret of the Body, turned slightly white from the force.

The sect leader of the original Body Sect told Huo Yuhao to help find a successor with Body Martial Soul. However, Huo Yuhao directly ascended to the Divine Realm and gave the used Secret of the Body to the Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy not only failed to fulfill this promise, but if it weren't for the seniors of their Body Sect coming to demand it back, the Secret of the Body might never have returned to the Body Sect's hands in their lifetime.

Furthermore, Shrek Academy isn't even the complete version yet!

In other words, this is a complete attempt to sever the lineage of their Body Sect!

This would be an irreconcilable feud in any faction.

"Hmm? What's this?" Jiang Xiu glanced at the bookshelf where the Secret of the Body had been kept.

On one side of their Secret of the Body, there was a manual with a crimson cover, on which were written the words "Nine Styles of the Red Dragon".

Jiang Xiu raised his hand and took it in his hand. As he flipped through it, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The Nine Styles of the Red Dragon is a secret manual that enhances explosive power by mobilizing the body's Qi and blood. In some of the methods of circulating Qi and blood, it is completely similar to the secret manual of their Body Sect, and the shadow of their Body Sect's secret manual can be seen everywhere.

Jiang Xiu's gaze swept across the entire bookshelf displaying the secret manuals, the ancient and simple manuals constantly coming into view.

<The Spirit Hall's Core Competitiveness Theory of Martial Soul - Pseudo>, <The Ten Core Competitiveness Theory - True>, <Angel Cultivation Secret Notes>, <The True Dragon Nine Crowns - Jade>, <Dark Blue Silver Grass Cultivation Insights>...

Looking at the manuals, Jiang Xiu suddenly felt relieved.

It turns out that this place contains not only the secret manuals of their Body Sect, but also the secret manuals of the Spirit Hall, which perished 20,000 years ago, as well as some other sects.

Shrek Academy has truly inherited the fine traditions of its ancestor, Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao Xiu, are you going to take this with you?" Elder Jin came to Jiang Xiu's side, pointed to the Secret of the Body, and asked softly.

"No, I'll first engrave a complete copy of the Secret of the Body, leaving the original here in case there's no evidence in the future," Jiang Xiu said, shaking his head slightly.

He definitely wants to take the Secret of the Body back, but not in this sneaky way, because that would be too easy for the Shrek Academy.

He will deal with this matter and expose the true face of the Shrek Academy after his master emerges from seclusion.

Jiang Xiu carefully put away the engraved Secret of the Body and solemnly placed the original back in its original position.

"Elder Jin, I'd really appreciate it if you could look after it for me. I'm sure I'll be taking it home soon."

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin nodded slightly, indicating that these were minor matters. He then pointed to the remaining treasures and said, "Take a look and see if there's anything you need; feel free to take it."

"Alright." Jiang Xiu did not delay, but examined them one by one. Jiang Xiu did not intend to show any mercy to the Shrek Academy, which he already had a blood feud with, because they were not worthy of it.

However, before that, Jiang Xiu had also copied down a copy of the <Angel Cultivation Secret Notes>, which would be of great use to him...

After all, the Yue Family is Angel Martial Soul family...

"Elder Jin, can you come in here anytime?" Jiang Xiu asked while looking at the treasures.

"That's natural; this treasure trove is within my body," Elder Jin said, waving his hand.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. "That's good. Elder Jin, please select some treasures for me that won't be easily detected, so we can make a perfect escape when the big explosion happens in the future."

There are still a few years before Shrek Academy is bombed by level 12 Fixed-Load Soul Guidance Cannonball, and these things won't escape here. The best strategy is to take what's useful first, and then wipe them all out when the explosion happens, without alerting the enemy.

After all, he still needs to openly and legitimately take back the Secret of the Body in the future, and making a move prematurely might leave some oversights.

"Being more meticulous is certainly a good thing," Elder Jin praised, then took out a bag-shaped Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Jiang Xiu, "But this time we can't let you leave empty-handed too."

After saying that, Elder Jin waved his hand, and various treasures flew up and fell into the sack in Jiang Xiu's hand.

"Rare metal, take it..."

"Take this Qi and Blood Elixir..."

"Soul Bone, good stuff, take a few more..."

As Elder Jin muttered to himself, the sack in Jiang Xiu's hand rapidly swelled up.

At the same time, Yun Ming, who was cultivating in the Sea God Pavilion, felt a sudden, inexplicable stirring in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, my right eyelid started twitching wildly, as if playing a clapper.

"What's going on?" Yun Ming frowned and muttered to himself. The last time he felt this way was when Jiang Xiu was devouring the essence of the Golden Ancient Tree.

Yun Ming's mind raced, and his Divine Power quickly swept towards Jiang Xiu's room, but he found that this time there was no energy fluctuation, and it was even extremely quiet.

"Strange... Could it be that my intuition is wrong?" Yun Ming said with a hint of uncertainty.

At his level, whenever a major event is about to occur, he has an advance warning in his mind, and since he broke through to the Limit Douluo level, this warning has never failed.

After confirming that his surroundings were correct, Yun Ming shook his head, assuming that he had misjudged the situation.

"Becoming a god through rules is indeed too difficult. It seems that condensing Godhood through the Faith Power is the right path for me..." Recalling his cultivation just now, Yun Ming sighed silently.

Although he was exceptionally talented, he was still far from being able to achieve godhood through the rules.

"The Faith Power..." Yun Ming murmured, his eyes flashing slightly before he slowly shook his head and prepared to continue his cultivation.

But his right eyelid was still twitching wildly...

Inside the treasure vault.

The sack in Jiang Xiu's hand was now stuffed full of treasures, almost overflowing.

"That's enough for now. Use these up. If you need more, come back to me for a 'zero-dollar purchase' next time," Elder Jin said with satisfaction.

"No problem." Jiang Xiu said it was perfectly fine, and then put the sack away.

As if remembering something, a glint of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes. "By the way, Elder Jin, do you know anything about the strange things about the Demon Plane?"

"The Demon Plane..." Elder Jin raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with this dimension?"

"Before the Plane Spirit dissipated, it told me that the opportunity for the Underworld Emperor to become a god lay within this, so I would like to ask you if there are any secrets hidden here," Jiang Xiu said truthfully.

After all, the information left to him by the Old Plane Spirit was too vague. As far as he knew, the level of the Demon Plane was completely lower than that of the Abyss Plane and Douluo Continent. The strongest person in it was only at the Limit Douluo level, and there were no God Level powerhouses at all.

This also means that the Demon Plane also has its own constraints, making it difficult, if not impossible, for people to become gods.

"The Underworld Emperor became a god? That kid isn't dead yet?" Elder Jin paused slightly. He had said that he felt the Underworld Emperor's death was a bit strange, and it seems that feeling was correct.

"But what's so special about the Demon Plane...?" Elder Jin pondered silently, recalling information about the Demon Plane.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, an incredulous glint flashed in Elder Jin's eyes.

He remembered that the Demon Plane, being a low-level dimension, didn't seem to have yet developed Plane Spirit...
