Book of Antiquity

Bibi Dong paused and sneered, "Heh, keep dreaming your pipe dreams."

"Dong'er, I know you still love me..." Yu Xiaogang looked at her with persistent eyes.

"How ridiculous. You're nothing but a piece of trash with half a level of innate soul power. I don't know where you get the confidence to say such things. If I were you, I would have found a wall to smash my head against long ago; staying in this world only pollutes the air." Bibi Dong laughed in extreme anger, her chest heaving slightly.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned livid. "Dong'er, that's going too far."

"Don't call me Dong'er." Bibi Dong spoke, imbuing her words with soul power, and sent him flying into the wall.

Yu Xiaogang struggled to crawl up from the floor, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Bibi Dong looked at him without a shred of pity and walked away.

Had she heard such words before, she might have hesitated, but she had now witnessed things of a higher pursuit.

Demons and Immortal Gods—that was the true essence of this world.

To live forever, to create worlds—how magnificent!

What were the petty matters of love, or even hatred, compared to these?

She was no longer the person she once was; all she wanted now was power—the power of demons.

"I hope you have results by the time I return." Bibi Dong opened the door, looked back, and left behind a cold remark.

Yu Xiaogang stood up in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with humiliated rage.

"If I succeed in my research, I want you," he shouted.

Bibi Dong's body paused for a moment.

"Fine," she replied casually, then left the laboratory.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with anger and lust as he gasped for air.

In Heaven Dou City, at Shrek Academy, everyone gathered in the office.

After leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they had arrived in Heaven Dou City without incident, and the same events as in the original story had unfolded.

First, they took Qin Ming to Lanba Academy and renamed it Shrek Academy, and then Tang San was taken away by Dugu Bo.

But just as everyone was worrying about Tang San's safety, Grandmaster was also suddenly snatched away by an unknown force.

"Sigh! Where on earth did Tang San and Grandmaster go?" Oscar said, dejected.

They had been searching for days until they were exhausted, yet they hadn't even caught a glimpse of them.

"Speaking of which, does anyone know who that person was who protected us that day?" Xiao Wu asked, sitting on a stool. "Why didn't he come this time? Could he have been injured last time?"

At the mention of that person, everyone's eyes lit up.

"It's possible. After all, that was Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Damn it, Ning Rongrong actually wanted to kill us." Ma Hongjun slammed his hand on the table in anger.

Flender stroked his beard, feeling a sense of familiarity when he recalled the man, but he couldn't place who it was.

Logically speaking, only Ning Rongrong had a particularly special background among them.

"Dai Shengyang, could it be someone from your family protecting you?" he speculated, looking toward him.

Dai Xieyue stood to the side with his arms crossed and shook his head. "Impossible."

Hearing this, Flender sighed helplessly. "Sigh, then I have no idea. It couldn't possibly be Tang San or Oscar, could it?"

The office fell silent once more.

After discussing it further without finding a solution, everyone dispersed, intending to rest well tonight and continue the search tomorrow.

Although they were an academy and, in theory, everyone was equal, ever since Tang San and Grandmaster arrived, the backbone of the academy seemed to have shifted toward them.

They were supposed to be a Monster Academy, and the most important thing right now should have been preparing for the Continental Advanced Soul Master League; they had come here for the simulated cultivation environment of Lanba Academy.

Yet, everyone was now searching for Tang San and Grandmaster, neglecting their cultivation time, and no one felt that anything was wrong.

Walking down the path, Oscar felt a sense of helpless frustration for the first time.

He was the first food-type soul master in history with full innate soul power, a genius wherever he went, yet here he was, searching for people. Honestly, he was getting tired of it.

But Tang San was his companion, and as a member of Shrek Academy, one must never abandon or give up on any companion, so he didn't say anything.

He believed that if he went missing, Tang San and Grandmaster would surely give up their cultivation to find him; he had to put himself in their shoes.

Oscar comforted himself as he walked toward the dormitory.

As he walked, he suddenly kicked a stone. He picked it up and saw a familiar talisman with strange patterns drawn on it.

Oscar froze, his eyes filled with wild joy.

In the Sunset Forest, Tang San bid farewell to Dugu Bo and was rushing toward Shrek Academy, filled with excitement.

This time, I've brought back something good for Teacher. I believe that after this, Teacher will be able to resume his cultivation.

And Xiao Wu—she must have been waiting anxiously.

His heart leaped with the anticipation of returning.

Pope Palace, secret chamber.

Shendu finished crafting a patch and prepared to release it.

Before him, a massive book hovered in mid-air. With its reddish-brown appearance and parchment texture, it looked incredibly ancient, carrying a heavy sense of history.

It was the Book of Antiquity, which recorded all sorts of ancient secrets and had been crafted by the dark wizard Daolon Wong.

In truth, it was similar to items like Qian Xunji's Diary or Ning Xiaoyao's Memoirs, only Shendu had consolidated everything into one volume for ease of operation.

If he had released it like this from the start, no one would have believed it, so he had needed to leverage figures like Qian Xunji and Ning Xiaoyao to gain people's trust.

But now, he could simply use the Book of Antiquity directly.

Shendu cast the book in his hand outward; naturally, he did not release all of its contents this time, but only the Book of Antiquity: Talisman Chapter.

The book transformed into a beam of light, streaking toward the distance and heading toward his target.

He chose Heaven Dou City; it was populous, and information would spread quickly there. To solidify the book's reputation, he even sent the Tiger Talisman along with it.

After all, the divine trial for the Tiger Talisman had already passed, and he only needed to retrieve the talisman before the final twelfth trial.

If you don't risk the bait, you won't catch the fish.

In Heaven Dou City, a massive meteor tore through the sky and landed within the city.

The residents were startled by such a huge fireball, but seeing that it didn't cause an explosion, they went back to their own business.

Only a few curious young people ran toward the landing site, wanting to see what it was.

In a secluded alley, Tang San was walking along when he was suddenly struck by a book.

What is this! He flipped the book open, understood the contents within, and discovered the Tiger Talisman nestled in a groove.

"It's actually the Tiger Talisman!" Tang San excitedly pried it loose and gripped it tightly. The next second, a flash of white light erupted.

Tang San split into two; one face looked bewildered, while the other wore a cold, evil smirk.
