Chapter 837: Demon God's Bookshelf~

The passage was tall and narrow, only able to accommodate two adult men walking side by side.

Inside it was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and there were no lighting tools on either side. The quiet atmosphere let you hear only everyone's footsteps and breathing.

Why aren't you following Bai Zichuan?

Fu San brought up the rear, bored, and asked the people behind him.

Few people followed Ye Qingran into this entrance; when Fu San asked that, someone blurted out, "Because we trust Miss Ye's choice."

Fu San was very pleased with that answer, patted the person's shoulder, and said, "Good eye!"

He turned his head and met Han Xing's icy gaze.

What's up, wife?

Han Xing retorted, "You talk too much."

Fu San scratched his head, "Hehe, I'm just bored..."

After who knows how long, a faint light finally appeared ahead—turns out torches embedded in the walls on both sides were burning.

By the firelight, one could faintly see ancient, mysterious patterns carved into the pitch-black walls.

These black stones are rare obsidian, making one can't help but marvel at the extravagance of the Demon God Relic.

Gradually, some chaotic sounds reached everyone's ears; upon listening closely, they turned out to be from Bai Zichuan's group!

Could it be that the two entrances lead to the same place despite different paths?

Someone speculated.

Up ahead, the passage seemed to reach its end, with bright light shining in from outside.

Have we arrived?

After Ye Qingran's group exited the passage, they discovered they had entered a circular hall, and on the other side, lo and behold, was Bai Zichuan's group!

Upon seeing each other, both sides were quite surprised.

How could this happen?

Bai Zichuan's face darkened.

He had thought he could shake off Ye Qingran's group and monopolize the treasures along the way, but after walking this long passage, they still met, which made him very unhappy.

Ouch, who bumped into me?

A shout drew everyone's attention, and they realized the circular hall was not connected but divided into two by a transparent wall.

When still, the wall is invisible; when touched, it shows rippling water-like marks, which are still quite noticeable.

Bai Zichuan's eyes flashed; he strode to the transparent wall, reached out and touched it, finding it seemingly intangible yet actually very hard. He gathered Mysterious Force in his hand and struck it hard, but the wall showed no sign of cracking.

Ahaha~

Bai Zichuan laughed loudly, "With this wall, Ye Qingran's group can't get through!"

At this moment, he finally felt relieved!

Ye Qingran didn't mind the wall either, after all she never intended to travel with Bai Zichuan.

Once interest in the transparent wall waned, everyone began searching the hall, and soon someone found some good things.

However, all those good things were on Bai Zichuan's side; looking at Ye Qingran's side, it was empty, with nothing at all!

Those who chose to follow Ye Qingran were filled with envy toward the opposite side.

Treasures scattered along the wall, though none were particularly good, yet having them versus not having them felt different, causing some on Ye Qingran's side to feel a bit regretful.

"Ye Qingran, it seems you chose the wrong path," Bai Zichuan said, crossing his arms across the transparent wall and mocking loudly.

Ye Qingran didn't care either, replying, "Whether it's right or wrong, it's not for you to judge."

Bai Zichuan just thought Ye Qingran was being stubborn, snorted disdainfully, but inwardly felt quite relieved—he considered this a point won back.

Nobody noticed Xiao Hu looking up at the hall's surrounding walls, then walking over and pressing a protruding stone on the wall, after which the hall shook!

Boom—rumble~

The feeling of earth shaking and mountains trembling, dust falling, frightened everyone into thinking the hall would collapse; they scrambled about like birds and beasts, wailing and howling.

What happened?!

Bai Zichuan's face also changed.

This is the Demon God Relic; if the hall collapsed, they might very well be buried here forever!

Quick, form the formation!

Bai Zichuan shouted the order.

The Bai Tribe members hurriedly gathered, preparing to form the formation, but then they heard Ye Qingran sneer, "It's just triggering a mechanism—why are you so nervous?"

Triggering a mechanism?

Just as everyone was stunned, the earthquake ceased, and on Ye Qingran's side, where the wall had been bare, a whole wall of bookshelves appeared!

On the shelves lay countless books.

Ye Qingran casually took down one.

"Kunlun Sword Technique."

She took down another.

"Moving Mountain Palm."

She took down yet another.

"Peach Blossom Manual."

These books are certainly not ordinary; they are the myriad techniques collected by the Demon God!

Who knows how many techniques have been lost since ancient times; pulling out any one here could let you dominate a region!

Those who had chosen to follow Ye Qingran could no longer contain their excitement, and they too began pulling secret manuals from the shelves to peruse.

"Seven Kill Fist?! Isn't that the Bai Tribe's core technique? Only Bai Tribe disciples could cultivate it—yet it's here too!"

The Bai Tribe people were all dumbfounded.

You should know that although the Seven Kill Fist isn't the Bai Tribe's most powerful technique, it is still considered one of their core arts.

But their Bai Tribe's core technique actually appears on the bookshelf of the Demon God Relic right now!

"I don't believe it! Zifeng, go take a look!"

Bai Zichuan shouted loudly.

Bai Zifeng nodded in agreement, snatched the secret manual from that person's hands, flipped a few pages, his expression drastically changed, and looking up with a solemn expression he said to Bai Zichuan, "Elder brother, this really is the secret manual of the Seven Kill Fist!"

Bai Zichuan's face turned pale.

On this bookshelf, any random volume you pull down is one of their Bai Tribe's core techniques?

Is that possible?

Bai Zifeng wasn't idle either, going through the volumes one by one, he discovered that some of the secret manuals which are only fragments outside are complete here!

Moreover, many techniques that exist only in legend are actually real here!

That feeling is like dreaming!
