"Sorry, Lingling and I didn't find any books." Dugu Yan was a bit upset that she couldn't help Xiao Ze.
"It's fine, Sister Yanyan, it's an Empire from three thousand years ago after all." Xiao Ze got up and walked over to Dugu Yan, kissing her on the forehead.
"Mmm… I found something, I want a kiss too." Ning Rongrong bounced onto Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze immediately hugged Ning Rongrong, his hands resting on her shapely curves, giving them a gentle squeeze.
Ning Rongrong felt Xiao Ze's little action, and her pretty face flushed.
Kiss!
Kiss, kiss—
Ning Rongrong kissed him several times in a row, leaving his mouth covered in saliva, before she was satisfied and got down.
She handed the book to Xiao Ze.
"Rongrong came back at just the right time, I just finished with the Tiangong Soul Guidance Record."
"Really? Then let's look at the Tiangong Soul Guidance Record first."
"Okay."
Xiao Ze took out the Tiangong Soul Guidance Record and translated it page by page for everyone.
At that time, Xiao Ze would also need to create a new book to record the contents, perhaps even hundreds of copies, to prevent such spirit tools from being lost.
"Oh, this spirit tool is amazing, it can even make a Spirit without an attribute deal fire attribute damage."
"This spirit tool is also very powerful, it can Teleport."
"There are also flying spirit tools; with these spirit tools, we can all fly."
"…"
Everyone read for a full afternoon before finishing all the spirit tools.
Ning Rongrong and the others' cheeks were flushed, and they were so excited they were incoherent.
"Xiao Ze, if these spirit tools are made, can they be sold to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"Hmm… your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School certainly needs spirit tools, but spirit tools are just starting in our era, so let alone whether they can be manufactured, large-scale production is definitely not possible in the short term."
"I know, I mean in the future." Ning Rongrong nodded.
"Then naturally there's no problem. If we develop spirit tools, we might even gain faith and merit."
Xiao Ze planned to find a time to go to Gengxin City; the blacksmiths there were all very good workers. He would use spirit tools to entice them all to work for him.
They would definitely be very useful; spirit tools were much more powerful than the junk they forged.
"Okay, let's slowly develop spirit tools."
"Come, Rongrong, look at your book."
"Okay."
Xiao Ze didn't know if the history of the Tian Yue Empire was true or false, but a quick look was enough to understand some things. Since they were all extinct, it didn't really matter.
"The Tian Yue Empire was established approximately five thousand years ago. The first emperor of the Tian Yue Empire, a Level 94 attack systemTitled Douluo, unified the twelve northern tribes and killed a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, the Profound Ice Demonic Ape, in Meteorite Canyon, using its bones as the foundation to build the imperial city, Tian Yue Capital.
The founding motto: All land touched by iron hooves shall be Tian Yue soil."
"What an ancient Empire! It's truly old. If it was destroyed three thousand years ago, then it was an Empire for two thousand years! How powerful."
"Just looking at the founding motto, you can tell this was a country focused on combat."
"But how big could this Profound Ice Demonic Ape be to be able to serve as the foundation for an imperial city?" Ye Lingling asked.
"Who knows? Some Spirit Beasts are very large. Maybe a Profound Ice Demonic Ape was a hundred meters tall. This Spirit Beast doesn't exist now, so we can't know." Xiao Ze thought a hundred meters was likely.
The Tai Tan Snow Demon King in the Extreme North Land was a hundred meters tall, but it's hard to say, as the Tai Tan Snow Demon King is said to have the bloodline of the ancient Ice God.
The next five hundred years were a period of stable development for the Tian Yue Empire.
And the five hundredth year was the most interesting part for Xiao Ze.
The Tian Yue Empire militarized spirit tools.
They applied spirit tools to their army, creating the Tian Yue spirit tool Cavalry Regiment.
Each soldier was equipped with a standardized city-breaking spirit tool crossbow.
With such a spirit tool army, the Tian Yue Empire began its territorial expansion, at one point occupying one-third of the Douluo Continent. However, it was eventually blocked by the remaining five Empires working together, leading to a stalemate.
This period was also the golden age of the Tian Yue Empire.
A century later, the Tian Yue Empire began to decline.
Nearly a thousand years later, due to the leak of a special secret technique, 300,000 commoners experienced a spirit power rampage and all died.
This made the already turbulent Empire even more precarious.
And all sorts of chaotic forces operating in the shadows came to power.
During this period, let alone spirit tools, even the Empire was half-dead.
Five hundred years later, the current emperor stabilized the Empire's situation and rebuilt the Tian Yue Spirit Master Academy, cultivating many powerful Spirit Masters. But compared to the very beginning, it was still far inferior.
There wasn't even a single Ninth-Rank Spirit Master.
And in the final five hundred years, the Tian Yue Empire couldn't hold on. The capital was breached, and the Tian Yue Spirit Master Academy was destroyed.
In fact, the Tian Yue Spirit Master Academy was destroyed even more thoroughly than the Tian Yue Empire's imperial palace.
After all, spirit tools had made the other Empires pay a terrible price on the battlefield, so this was all about revenge.
"Alas… spirit tools are indeed powerful, allowing the entire Empire to develop and expand its territory, but Spirit Masters are not easy to cultivate."
"Yes, but if we take our time, we will eventually succeed."
Xiao Ze mused, "It seems the entire Tiangong Soul Guidance Record is most likely from the Tian Yue Spirit Master Academy, and the entire Tiangong spirit tool Corps is most likely the army of the Tian Yue Spirit Master Academy.
Fortunately, all their spirit tools were left behind, otherwise it would have been a pity."
"Xiao Ze, you said that since other countries could defeat the Tian Yue Empire, does that mean they also had spirit tools? After all, it seems quite difficult for Spirit Masters alone to resist Spirit Masters, given that many spirit tools are incredibly powerful.
It doesn't seem like Spirit Masters of that era could have withstood them." Ning Rongrong asked.
"I don't know, but maybe."
"Then do you think we can go look for the treasures of the other six Empires? Maybe they have some too." Ning Rongrong said excitedly.
Dugu Yan and the others were also very interested.
Xiao Ze said with a wry smile, "It's not that easy. After all, these are Empires from several millennia ago. It was pure luck that I found this treasure; who would have thought I'd discover something like this in a cave?"
"That's true, but we can keep an eye out. It doesn't cost anything anyway."
"You're right."
However, Xiao Ze thought of a place.
The Star Dou Great Forest. There are many Spirit Beasts that have lived for thousands of years in the Star Dou Great Forest; maybe they know something.
However, very few can communicate.
It would be best to communicate with the Silver Dragon King and them, but with his current abilities, Xiao Ze was afraid he'd be torn to shreds.
But with the Ice and Fire Dragon King there, surely not?
He'd ask then. If he could get the treasures of other Empires, he would truly strike it rich.
