Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 169 Shrek Academy's Treasure Trove, the Secrets of the Demon Dimension
"Elder Jin, may I go and take a look?" Jiang Xiu suppressed his anger and asked Elder Jin.

Jin Lao pointed to the inside of the light gate and said with a smile, "Of course, don't be shy, just treat it like your own 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 bones, 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 bones of all sizes were arranged according to their age, covering an entire wall. The top layer contained more soul bones of the 100,000-year level than two hands and two feet. The 10,000-year, 1,000-year, and 100-year soul bones 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 Shrek Academy, their Body Sect was more like a slum.

If a few soul bones are missing from here, Shrek Academy probably wouldn't even notice.

"Hey, Xiao Xiu, this is the secret of the true form you wanted." Just as Jiang Xiu was sighing, Old Jin waved his aged hand slightly, and a secret manual with 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 it also has an indestructible texture. On the first page of the manual, there are four large gilded characters: The Secret of the True Form!
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 secrets of the entire book, Jiang Xiu closed it, making a dull sound in the silent treasure vault.

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

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

The missing combat skills and various methods for circulating qi and blood that his master had guessed were all in this, including various methods for stimulating the secondary awakening of the main body martial soul, which Shrek Academy had not returned to their main body sect.

“No, that’s not right,” Jiang Xiu suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Elder Jin. “Elder Jin, you just said that it was our Body Sect’s senior who came to us nine thousand years ago, not Shrek Academy that returned it on its own initiative, right?”

"That's how it is." Old 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 Body Sect at that time told Huo Yuhao to help find a successor with a Body Martial Soul. However, Huo Yuhao directly ascended to the God Realm and gave the Body Secret he had used up to 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 Body might never have returned to the Body Sect in their lifetime.

Furthermore, Shrek Academy is not 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 true body had been placed.

On one side of their secret manual, there was a book with a crimson cover, on which were written the words "Nine Forms of the Crimson 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 Crimson Dragon Nine Forms 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 Competitive Theory of Martial Spirits - False", "The Ten Core Competitive Theories - True", "Angel Cultivation Secrets", "The Nine Crowns of the True Dragon - Jade", "Dark Blue Silver Grass Cultivation Experience"...

Looking at the manuals, Jiang Xiu suddenly felt relieved.

It turns out that this place not only contains the secret manuals of their own 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?" Old Jin came to Jiang Xiu's side, pointed to the secret of the body and asked softly.

"No, I will first engrave a complete copy of the secret of the original body, and leave the original here in case there is no evidence in the future." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice.

He would definitely take the secret of his true form back, but not in such a sneaky way, because that would be too easy for Shrek Academy.

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

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

"Mr. Jin, I would like to trouble you to look after it. I believe I will take 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 any you need."

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

However, before that, Jiang Xiu had also copied a copy of "The Secret Manual of Angel Cultivation," which would be of great use to him... After all, the Le family was an angelic 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,” Old Master Jin said, waving his hand.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly. "That's good. Elder Jin, please select some treasures for me that are not easily noticed, so that 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-position soul-guided cannons, 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 his true form in the future, and making a move prematurely might leave some oversights.

“Being more meticulous is certainly the right thing to do.” 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 go home empty-handed.”

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

"Rare metal, take it..."

"Qi and Blood Elixir, here you go..."

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

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

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

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

"What's wrong?" 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 stirred, and his spiritual power quickly swept towards Jiang Xiu's room, but he found that there was no energy fluctuation this time, 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 will have an early 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 a godhood through the power of faith 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 become a god through the rules.

"The power of faith..." Yun Ming murmured, his eyes flashing slightly before he slowly shook his head and prepared to continue cultivating.

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," Old Jin said with satisfaction.

“No problem.” Jiang Xiu said that 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 Dimension..." Jin Lao raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with this dimension?"

"Before the Spirit of the Planes vanished, he 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 spirit of the old plane 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 there 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 is still alive?" Old 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 Realm..." Old Jin pondered silently, recalling information about the Demon Realm.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, an incredulous look flashed in Old Jin's eyes.

He remembered that the Demon Dimension, being a low-level dimension, didn't seem to have yet condensed a dimensional spirit...
