Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 317 The Second Level of the Golden Ancient Tree

Jumping upwards along the glass tube, the group soon arrived at the very bottom of the golden tree, where there was a door made of cast silver on the side.

If the elevator is operating normally, it will automatically open upon arrival.

Now the only option is to force the door open.

Tang San used the Blue Silver Emperor Leaf to probe into the narrow gap, then pulled it forcefully to both sides. The Silver Elevator Door slid slowly to both sides, and Gu Yuena, Dugu Yan, and Yu Tianheng crawled in one after another.

boom!

After Tang San passed by, he released his grip, and the two doors behind him closed quickly, as if springs were installed on the inner sides of the doors and the walls of the Golden Ancient Tree.

"Is this the interior of the Golden Ancient Tree? I can feel an extremely rich and pure energy of heaven and earth, so much so that I don't need to refine it at all." Yu Tianheng could sense his martial soul cheering, constantly absorbing the incomparably pure energy of heaven and earth here. "Cultivating here is twice as effective with half the effort. I even feel that I can break through to the Title Douluo level before I turn thirty!"

Dugu Yan felt the same way, and her whole body seemed to be swimming in an ocean of life energy, bringing unparalleled enjoyment to her mind and body.

Gu Yuena was the most excited. The life force here would allow her clone, formed from her origin, to advance further. Once she returned to her main body, it would surely enhance her understanding of life.

However, she concealed her expression well, feigning a look of confusion. If Tang San hadn't noticed her brighter purple eyes than usual, he would have truly believed that this little girl would remain unmoved.

"Let's go up."

The group was on a narrow, spiral staircase. Every time they climbed one round, they would see a door on the inner wall of the golden ancient tree.

Tang San knew that those were the doors leading to the cultivation space at the roots of the Golden Ancient Tree. There were 108 doors in total, each containing spatial soul guide runes, forming a structure similar to an array.

If analyzed from God's perspective, on the surface, each cultivation room is only about 100 cubic meters in size, but due to the structural design similar to a storage soul tool, the internal space can accommodate nearly a thousand people to cultivate together, and each person can have a distance of nearly ten meters between them.

Moreover, the staircase that the four of them are currently climbing is the main root of the Golden Ancient Tree. The other attached roots also have corresponding cultivation spaces or storage rooms, but those rooms are not as large as the one on the main root.

Thirty minutes later, everyone finally saw the exit ahead. The space inside the main staircase became more and more open, and more and more doors appeared on each side.

The entrance gate in front of us is a single-push type, and the material is directly made of ancient golden tree.

One push.

The wooden door opened silently, and the group entered the first floor.

Stepping out of the passage, Tang San gazed at the familiar hall, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "This is my second time here. I really miss it."

Without waiting for Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan and the others to look around curiously, he led them directly to the passage on the left and arrived at the storage room for soul tools. He said, "There are many soul tools in here. Please help me pack them all up. I plan to take them back to study. Of course, if you like any of them, you can keep them yourself."

Looking at the various soul tools on the shelves, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but exclaim, "So many? Our storage soul tools can't hold them all!"

"There are also storage soul tools here. You can take them and use them. If you really can't fit them all, you don't have to take them." Tang San didn't care how many soul tools they could take back, or what kind they were. Anyway, most of them would definitely be dismantled by him, Guang Ling, Lou Gao, and other researchers for research.

Once the soul guidance patterns are figured out, there's no limit to how many of these soul guidance devices we need.

The Douluo Continent is not lacking in resources for mass production of soul tools; it's just that the methods of utilizing these resources are rather crude.

Afterwards, Tang San prepared to go upstairs to take a look.

Gu Yuena followed along as well.

There was a metal door frame at the entrance on the second floor, which resembled a detection device. However, Tang San was "illegally intruding" at this time, and he was not wearing the "permit" issued by the mecha guards outside: a bracelet.

Therefore, even if the metal door frame detected him as an intruder and could sound an alarm, it couldn't expel him... The mecha guards outside the door seemed to be programmed not to allow entry into the Golden Ancient Tree. Otherwise, when a Soul Master enters the Golden Ancient Tree to retrieve items, a humanoid robot should accompany them instead of issuing a bracelet as identification and a temporary threat bomb.

Why is it set up this way?

Tang San guessed that it might be because those mechs had enough destructive power to hurt the Golden Tree, while most human soul masters, even if they self-destructed, would probably be unable to cause any damage to the Golden Tree.

Even if humans who enter this place can eliminate the threat to their lives posed by the bracelets—cutting off their hands would only result in taking more of the treasures inside the Golden Tree.

And once the other party leaves the Golden Tree, they will inevitably be detected by the mecha guards, and then—

One fatal blow!

As they passed through the metal door frame, the long stripes on it, resembling breathing lights, began to flash. The mecha guards outside the hall were also activated, but they were unable to enter the Golden Ancient Tree, causing no trouble for Tang San and his companions.

After climbing for a week, Tang San arrived at the entrance to the second floor. As if sensing Tang San's arrival, the door carved from the golden ancient tree opened automatically.

This is certainly not some kind of intelligent sensing; others need an access pass and a key to enter the second floor, but who can blame them when the door here is carved from the trunk of a golden ancient tree?

Tang San's arrival here is like his own home. These metal soul guidance devices left behind by the destroyed Golden Civilization seem like foreign objects forcibly inserted inside.

The second floor is the library, where rows of bookshelves are lined up one after another. The outermost bookshelves are carved and polished directly from the tree trunks, and there are also more than twenty sliding ladders.

At the very center is the core of an ancient golden tree, about twenty meters in diameter, its surface smooth and flawless, surrounded by a wooden railing, and flanked by four doors.

It's obvious that this is the Golden Tree version of the elevator!

"What a magnificent library!" Gu Yuena had seen the library in Wuhun City and the library in the Papal Palace, but neither was as magnificent as this one.

"It is indeed quite spectacular." However, Tang San was more concerned about the environment here, which was full of life and could keep people in a calm state at all times, which would greatly improve their learning ability.

I randomly picked up a book from the bookshelf and found it was a comic book called "Mech Warrior". It tells the story of a poor mech pilot who, with his great talent, assembled a god-level mech using various second-hand parts, participated in a mech competition, and finally won the championship.

Just as Tang San was wondering why this kind of book could appear here, the comic turned to the last page, and on the back cover was a line that read: "Only by balancing work and rest can you go higher. The fulfillment of the spirit and soul is far more important than physical strength!"

"The Golden Civilization doesn't just focus on surface-level matter and energy; it also conducts significant research on human psychology." Tang San put the comic back on the bookshelf and then took a book from the nearby [Catalogue Bookshelf] category...
