"Tian Yue Empire?" Xiao Ze was stunned.
An Empire from three thousand years ago, that's interesting.
"That's right. Back then, not to mention the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires, even the Spirit Hall hadn't been established yet. However, the predecessor of the Spirit Hall, the Church, still existed," Liu Erlong nodded.
"Where did you read this? I've read so many books and never seen it." Xiao Ze was a bit speechless about this. The Douluo Continent didn't seem to care much about history; history that wasn't very important simply wasn't recorded.
When he read history, there were often gaps of one or two hundred years, which was truly frustrating.
The events simply didn't connect.
"I saw it in an ancient text, but it was in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It might not be available outside."
"I knew it! I've read so many books and never seen it. I didn't expect you to enjoy reading."
"What's wrong? Can't I read books?" Liu Erlong put her hands on her hips, a little displeased. Couldn't she be cultured?
"Uh, judging by your personality, it really doesn't seem like it," Xiao Ze said honestly.
"Hmph, although I'm a bit fiery, I'm a good woman," Liu Erlong said.
Classic, truly classic.
However, Xiao Ze didn't continue, but changed the subject.
"What is this Tian Yue Empire?"
"It was one of the seven great Empires three thousand years ago, and it was even a mid-to-high-level one. Before the Spirit Hall was established, every Empire had its own national language, and the Tian Yue Empire was no exception.
It was only after the Spirit Hall was established that languages were unified, as language barriers were very difficult for both commoners and Spirit Masters."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect the Spirit Hall to have such a past; it truly did a good deed.
"Then can you understand it?"
"Yes," Liu Erlong nodded.
"Hiss…" Xiao Ze was even more surprised now. She could understand a language from three thousand years ago? With that kind of skill, why was she still a dean?
She could directly research ancient history; perhaps she could uncover some hidden secrets.
Although the Douluo Continent was still developing forward, who said that Spirit Masters from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago were inferior to those of today?
Just like the Titled Douluo from Douluo I and Douluo II, their lifespans were worlds apart.
Which one was more powerful?
It was actually hard to compare, but each era had its own treasures.
Such as soul cores and battle armors.
"We, in our lifetime, finally glimpsed the true meaning of spirit tools, but the world would not tolerate this art. It is hidden here, awaiting a fated one to obtain it.
— Tiangong Soul Guidance Corps · Last Descendant."
Liu Erlong read it out word by word.
Now, both Liu Erlong and Xiao Ze were surprised.
They hadn't expected there to be spirit tools inside.
"spirit tools, it actually contains spirit tools."
"It seems the development of spirit tools was quite good in the past, but they just weren't passed down." Xiao Ze's lips curved upwards. This was truly the right place to be.
spirit tools, oh, these were treasures. For Spirit Masters whose Spirits weren't powerful, spirit tools were simply the future.
"How powerful can spirit tools be?" Liu Erlong shrugged.
"You know everything again?" Xiao Ze said, exasperated.
"It's just that. It's not like I haven't seen other spirit tools. They're all miscellaneous and don't have much combat capability."
"But you also said that's now, not then. They were the Spirit Guidance Corps, a military force. spirit tools that could be used by a Spirit Master legion, do you think they could be weak?" Xiao Ze asked.
"You're right. Let's go in and take a look quickly. I also want to see the spirit tools from a thousand years ago."
"Alas… it's a pity. It seems the Douluo Continent really doesn't like spirit tools much. They even entered the legion, yet they weren't passed down," Xiao Ze said with some helplessness.
Everyone on the Douluo Continent seemed to aspire to individual development; external forces like spirit tools were always disliked.
"Let's go in and see. Maybe you can make spirit tools flourish."
Xiao Ze shook his head. He wouldn't get involved with spirit tools. He barely had enough time for alchemy, let alone spirit tools.
This kind of thing needed to be left to Old Wang.
This was his prime time to make a breakthrough.
"Let's go, let's open the door."
"Try putting your hand on it," Xiao Ze said suddenly, staring at the palm print grooves on the door.
Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow, but pressed her palm firmly into the groove on the right.
Xiao Ze took a deep breath and placed his left hand on the left side.
"Inject spirit power."
Both of them simultaneously activated their spirit power.
In an instant, the spirit tool patterns on the door lit up.
Click, click, click—
The heavy sound of metal grinding echoed as the massive door, sealed for thousands of years, slowly slid open to both sides. A cold wind, carrying an ancient aura, gushed out from the crack.
Xiao Ze's pupils constricted, his heart filled with shock.
These spirit tools could still function?!
It had been thousands of years, yet they could still be preserved. This had to be a semi-artifact.
What kind of monsters were these Tiangong Soul Guidance Corps?
How developed were spirit tools a thousand years ago?
Liu Erlong, however, didn't have so many emotions and simply strode in.
Behind the door was a wide metal passageway. The walls on both sides were embedded with countless tiny spirit tool lamps. As they stepped in, the lights illuminated forward like a tide.
Here… was hidden spirit tool technology far beyond the current era!
"Oh, these light bulbs can still light up. So, is this a treasure hiding place from three thousand years ago?" Liu Erlong was stunned.
"Who knows? We'll find out when we go in and see," Xiao Ze took a deep breath and slowly walked inside.
Soon, the two arrived at a place, which was also the only room. This entire room had metal walls and looked very high-grade.
"Such a big door, and only this kind of room inside. What a pity," Liu Erlong looked around.
Xiao Ze's gaze was drawn to a platform in the center.
On the platform lay a thick metal tome. The cover was etched with five ancient characters, and the edges of the pages glowed with a faint golden light, clearly made of special material, still intact after thousands of years.
Xiao Ze slowly walked over, pulling Liu Erlong along with him.
"Hey… hey… stop being so touchy-feely."
Xiao Ze rolled his eyes. How could she even say such a thing?
"Translate," Xiao Ze said concisely.
"Really, you still want me to translate. I'll give you the book later, and you can study it yourself."
"Good."
Liu Erlong looked at the metal tome: "Tiangong Soul Guidance Record. It seems to be the only thing here, most likely the spirit tool information left by the Tiangong Corps."
"Hmm, and it looks like the entire metal tome is a spirit tool."
"Tsk… that's really interesting. It's my first time seeing someone make a book into a spirit tool. They truly live up to being the Spirit Guidance Corps," Liu Erlong also became interested at this moment.
"Xiao Ze, when you translate it, show it to me," Liu Erlong said.
"You don't even like spirit tools, why do you want to see it?"
"Mind your own business."
"Fiery Dragoness!"
"I'll bite you to death!"
