Lord of All Gods

Ye Liuyun heard it very clearly—when the divine senses of some guards were annihilated, they even emitted a sigh.

"Collect all the armor!"

These Void-grade armors and weapons were all valuable items; Ye Liuyun certainly wouldn’t waste them.

Afterward, the martial cultivators scouting ahead encountered many such guards, but they could easily destroy these divine senses using soul attacks. Along the way, they collected quite a lot of armor.

Soon, they fought their way to the front of the Royal Palace Hall. Here, there were even more golden-armored guards with stronger offensive power. However, they still couldn’t withstand the soul attacks and were easily wiped out by those scouting martial cultivators. Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to collect quite a few Void-grade armors and weapons.

The entire Royal Palace Hall returned to silence once more.

After activating his Golden Pupils to carefully scan the situation inside the hall, Ye Liuyun told Luo Yu and the other martial cultivators, "The defensive formation of this hall is still active, and there seem to be other formations inside as well. Let’s go to other places first and come back to this hall last."

Ye Liuyun’s soul detected intense energy fluctuations within this hall and felt that the Source Power of this secret realm might be right inside this hall, so he planned to explore it last.

They immediately changed direction and rushed toward the Scripture Pavilion to search for cultivation techniques first. The journey was quite smooth, and they encountered no obstacles.

The dynasty’s Scripture Pavilion also had its defensive formation activated, though it wasn’t as strong as the Royal Palace Hall’s. Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and didn’t expose his own white light. Instead, he released the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon and instructed it to use its white light to bombard the formation’s eye, breaking the array.

Then he had most of the martial cultivators guard outside while only allowing three to enter for reconnaissance. The door to the Scripture Pavilion opened, revealing three floors inside, each lined with rows of bookshelves holding various books, most of which were cultivation techniques.

After sweeping his gaze over them, Ye Liuyun began planning how to use these techniques. The royal family’s Scripture Pavilion contained the most classic techniques of an entire dynasty—this was a huge fortune for ordinary martial cultivators. Even in the Myriad Gods Alliance, these were things they coveted.

After the three martial cultivators entered and checked for dangers without finding any, they came out to wait. Ye Liuyun then entered with Luo Yu to search for that True Essence cultivation technique.

However, what surprised Ye Liuyun was that as soon as he and Luo Yu entered, the Myriad Gods Token in his sea of consciousness burst forth with golden light.

"An illusion technique?"

Ye Liuyun was somewhat curious, as he hadn’t noticed any changes in his surroundings.

At that moment, the Book Demon that had been dormant in his sea of consciousness suddenly stirred.

"Hahaha, kid, leave this place to me. There are more than ten Book Demons here. Although their strength isn’t particularly high, they’re well-hidden, and dealing with them would be troublesome for you. Let me handle them all—it can also help me recover my strength!" The Book Demon communicated with Ye Liuyun.

It had sensed the aura of its kind here, which was why it had awakened, wanting to use these Book Demons to enhance its own strength.

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

The Book Demon had helped him last time and had been seriously injured. Now that there was an opportunity for it to recover, Ye Liuyun certainly wouldn’t refuse.

Moreover, he couldn’t tell any difference between the illusion technique cast by the Book Demons here and the actual environment. Leaving it to the Book Demon to handle saved him effort.

The Book Demon immediately shot out of Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, also utilizing the power of time to make time stand still before beginning to search everywhere.

After Ye Liuyun’s soul power had grown stronger, he could move freely even under the Book Demon’s time stasis and could see its movements.

He watched as it rushed into the books on several bookshelves and emerged from them again, moving extremely fast, appearing to run around randomly. However, he noticed that several books on the shelves suddenly began to gradually disappear.

"So the illusion technique was just adding a few extra books!" Ye Liuyun finally understood—the illusion he was under was merely the addition of several books.

And one of them was currently being held in Luo Yu’s hands, with a delighted expression on his face.

Afterward, the Book Demon went directly to the second floor. After a while, it returned to Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness with satisfaction. Ye Liuyun saw that its soul form was obviously larger by a circle, having returned to its previous state.

"All settled! If I sleep for a while longer, I can recover, and I’ll even be stronger than before. However, the book you’re looking for isn’t here. These are all just ordinary techniques."

After returning, the Book Demon gave Ye Liuyun another message, then fell silent again, and the flow of time returned to normal.

With the book demons taking action, Ye Liuyun had it much easier. Without having to do anything himself, all the book demons here were dealt with, saving them a great deal of time. Otherwise, searching through the books one by one for that cultivation manual would have wasted quite a bit of time.

"Huh? Where’s the book? I clearly found that manual just now?"

At this moment, Luo Yu spread her hands and cried out in surprise.

"You were caught in an illusion just now. The manual we’re looking for isn’t here at all!" Ye Liuyun explained to her.

"Illusion? How do you know the book we’re looking for isn’t here?" Luo Yu didn’t actually doubt Ye Liuyun. She had a contract with him, and if Ye Liuyun had found that book, he wouldn’t withhold it from her.

"There were some book demons here capable of casting illusions. However, their illusion arts were quite sophisticated, blending with the real environment. They merely conjured a few extra books to deceive people. I just eliminated them, so the illusion disappeared. I also performed a soul search on them and learned that the book isn’t here."

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to tell a small lie to fool Luo Yu.

"Oh!" Luo Yu responded. After learning the truth, she actually felt somewhat disappointed instead.

"Do you need any of the books here? If not, I’m taking them all!" Ye Liuyun asked Luo Yu directly, not wanting to waste more time here.

"I already have cultivation techniques. You can take these as you please!" Luo Yu wasn’t reluctant to part with them at all, nor was she interested in these techniques.

Thus, Ye Liuyun didn’t stand on ceremony. He immediately waved his hand and collected all the books on the first floor, bookshelves included. Then he went up to the second and third floors. The techniques upstairs were of higher grades, but he didn’t examine them one by one. He simply collected them all and handed them over to Wu Qingcheng and the others in his spatial world to organize.

Everyone could freely select useful techniques for themselves. Those they couldn’t use were given to Ye Ling to distribute to the natives of her spatial world. These items were supreme treasures for martial cultivators of the Immortal Realm. At the very least, these techniques could allow them to cultivate all the way to the Unity Realm.

Afterward, they immediately left and hurried to the treasury within the royal palace.

On the way to the treasury, they encountered quite a few golden-armored guards blocking their path, which delivered quite a few Void Grade armors and weapons to Ye Liuyun.

"The artifact refining level of the previous Hongtian Dynasty wasn’t weak either. To think that the guards within the royal palace all possessed Void Grade armors and weapons. I wonder what other good things are inside the treasury!" Ye Liuyun was filled with anticipation for the treasury.
