Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 75 The Golden Ancient Tree! The Layout of Poseidon Island!

"Regarding soul power cultivation, I don't have much to teach you. You are already excellent enough, even more so than I was back then."

Mu En gazed at Zhu Ziyang with admiration and satisfaction on his face, and said, "At this stage, what you need to do is improve your soul power and spiritual power. Once you reach the fourth ring, or your spiritual power reaches the realm of tangible yet intangible, I will teach you my ultimate technique."

"Okay, teacher!" Zhu Ziyang nodded in agreement upon hearing Mu En's words.

"Take this notebook. It contains my understanding of the Light attribute. Although ultimate Light is different from ordinary Light, they lead to the same goal. You can take a look." Mu En took out a somewhat old notebook and handed it to Zhu Ziyang.

"I understand, thank you, teacher!" Zhu Ziyang took the notebook. The black cover was clean and tidy, with a faint aura of light emanating from it. This should be the most powerful light attribute manual in Douluo Continent at present.

Even someone as arrogant as Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but feel excited when he received this booklet.

When Electrolux awakens in the future, and he receives Electrolux's insights and guidance on the Light attribute, his mastery of the Light attribute should be unparalleled throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

"Starting today, you'll live on the island. Your senior brother will arrange everything for you at the outer courtyard," Mu En said.

"Teacher, I want to wait until I reach the fourth ring before I come to live on the island." Zhu Ziyang rejected Mu En's arrangement without hesitation and said, "With my aptitude, I will definitely be able to reach the fourth ring in my second year, and then it will be more legitimate for me to enter the inner academy."

"Haha~ It was my oversight that I didn't think it through. Since you have such ambition, then so be it!" After being rejected, Mu En was not angry at all, but rather very happy. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, teacher, I'd also be happy to stay downstairs in your dormitory building. We, master and disciple, can see each other more often."

"Yes! I will." Zhu Ziyang nodded happily.

"Teacher, junior brother's room is ready." At this moment, Yan Shaozhe's voice came from outside.

"Go ahead, go see if the room your senior brother chose for you suits your taste," Mu En said, closing his eyes.

"Yes, teacher, I'll be going now." Zhu Ziyang bowed respectfully and then left the Sea God Pavilion.

"A time of great strife..." Mu En murmured.

As I walked out of the Sea God Pavilion, I saw Yan Shaozhe standing in front of the door.

"Senior Brother," Zhu Ziyang called out.

"Junior brother, come on, I'll show you your room." Yan Shaozhe smiled and stepped forward after seeing Zhu Ziyang come out, putting his hand on Zhu Ziyang's shoulder and saying.

"Okay," Zhu Ziyang nodded with a smile.

Yan Shaozhe led Zhu Ziyang down the path, and in a few steps they arrived at a row of treehouses.

"Junior brother, you know, right?" Yan Shaozhe said, "There's a big tree beneath our feet."

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Ziyang nodded and replied, "The Golden Tree is the symbol of our Shrek Academy."

"That's right," Yan Shaozhe said. "The original purpose of Seagod Island was to house the Golden Tree. It was only as it grew taller and taller that the Seagod Pavilion and the Inner Court were built around it. It is said that this ancient golden tree was transplanted to Shrek Academy by Tang San, the Seagod, who was the soul of the original Shrek Seven Devils. Every dean of Shrek Academy has to take an oath under the ancient tree when he takes office."

Our Shrek Academy's core institutions are all located on this golden ancient tree. The Sea God Pavilion is on the top floor, the elders' rooms are on the second floor, the dormitories of the inner court teachers and core inner court disciples are on the first floor, and the dormitories of ordinary inner court disciples are at the foot of the tree.

This golden tree is an excellent training ground for us possessors of the Light Martial Soul; I believe you've felt that too.

Zhu Ziyang listened to Yan Shaozhe's introduction and nodded repeatedly. Although he had seen most of these things on the tree, there were a few things he didn't know, such as the origin of the Golden Ancient Tree, which was actually related to Tang San!

This sea god's influence is truly ubiquitous!

When he heard Yan Shaozhe's final question, he felt even more deeply for him.

Yan Shaozhe was right. The element of light on Seagod Island was indeed more concentrated than outside the island, especially near the Seagod Pavilion. In fact, not only the element of light, but also the elements of wood, water, life force, and the most basic spiritual energy of heaven and earth were all very concentrated on Seagod Island.

Clearly, this is the function of the Golden Ancient Tree.

The Golden Ancient Tree possesses the ability to gather energy and spiritual power! Zhu Ziyang recalled the description of the Golden Ancient Tree in the book "Naturally Extraordinary Trees".

"Hey, junior brother, this is your room." Yan Shaozhe led Zhu Ziyang to the treehouse at the deepest part of the room and said, "The light element here is the most concentrated, which should be most helpful for your cultivation. The rooms next to it are the rooms of Elder Xuan, Elder Lin, Elder Zhuang, and Elder Song. Your junior sister and I have the outermost room. You can find me there if you need anything."

Yan Shaozhe handed Zhu Ziyang a specially made key.

"Okay, I understand." Zhu Ziyang took the key and replied, his gaze turning towards his room.

"Alright, go inside and take a look. Wait for me at the foot of the tree later, and I'll show you around the island," Yan Shaozhe said, before leaving.

Zhu Ziyang walked into his room.

The room wasn't very big, only about 30 square meters, but it was bigger than his dormitory in the outer courtyard. The room only had one window and one door, and the window was right next to the door, which was nice.

The room was simply furnished. A sturdy, antique bed, carved from branches of an ancient golden tree, stood against the inner wall. At the foot of the bed was a large wardrobe, also carved from ancient tree branches, its back against the wall facing the bed. Beside the bed was a wooden table, next to which was a three-tiered bookshelf. On the table sat a soul-guiding lamp, the only non-wooden item in the room. In the center of the room was a small round table, with three wooden chairs around it.

Overall, the small house appears perfectly natural; even the carved furniture shows no trace of human intervention, as if it were entirely formed. The room is filled with rich spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation.

"Hey! Not bad." Zhu Ziyang raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.

Zhu Ziyang wandered around the room a few times, familiarizing himself with every nook and cranny. Once he felt everything was alright, he left.

He glanced at the nearby wooden houses along the way and could clearly identify who they belonged to. For example, his neighbor to the left had several pots of spiritual herbs on the windowsill, which was obviously Elder Zhuang's room. His neighbor to the right had some soul beast meat drying in front of the house, which was obviously Elder Xuan's room.

The two outermost rooms are Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier's, and Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er's, respectively. They face each other and are about five or six meters apart, which is quite unusual.

Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but be curious. The other couples' rooms were only three meters apart, so why were these two five or six meters apart? Could it be that his two couples of senior brothers and sisters had a conflict?

When we arrived at the foot of the tree, Yan Shaozhe was already standing there.

"Senior Brother!" Zhu Ziyang called out.

"Finished reading?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a smile. "Satisfied?"

"Yes! Very good, I like it," Zhu Ziyang said frankly.

"I'm glad you like it." Yan Shaozhe's expression relaxed upon hearing this, and then he said, "Come on, I'll show you around Seagod Island."

"Yes."

Zhu Ziyang followed behind Yan Shaozhe.

Poseidon Island has a clear layout, mainly divided into three areas.

The northern part of Poseidon Island is the living area for the inner academy's teachers and students, where the inner academy's canteen, Poseidon Square, and student dormitories are located. Meanwhile, some of the inner academy's major events, such as the Poseidon Fate Tournament, are held in Poseidon Square and on the lake nearby. The living area is the area with the highest daily foot traffic in the inner academy. The arrival of Zhu Ziyang and Yan Shaozhe instantly attracted the attention of the inner academy disciples. Their white freshman uniforms were too eye-catching, and coupled with Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek Academy, this combination certainly aroused curiosity.

In the center of Poseidon Island stands the Golden Ancient Tree, upon which the core of Shrek Academy, the Poseidon Pavilion, rises. Beneath the Golden Ancient Tree lies an underground world formed by its roots, where meditation is twice as effective. Zhu Ziyang did not intend to meditate in the tree hollow of the underground world for the time being, so he did not ask Yan Shaozhe to take him there.

The southern part of Poseidon Island is the work area. Directly opposite the Golden Ancient Tree is the Martial Arts Arena, used for sparring among the inner disciples. To the left of the Martial Arts Arena is the Library, a six-story wooden pavilion, one of the largest and most abundant libraries on the continent. To the right of the Martial Arts Arena is the Treasure Pavilion, the treasury of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, containing countless treasures. It has attracted countless reckless thieves, none of whom have left alive. Behind the Martial Arts Arena are the office area, data area, and the headquarters of the Supervisory Group.

"Let's go, junior brother, I'll take you to the treasure pavilion." After introducing all the locations, Yan Shaozhe said to Zhu Ziyang, "I've already received the notification from our teacher."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother." Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up, and his expression changed slightly as he spoke.

I'm asking for monthly votes! I'm asking for investments! I'm asking for recommendation votes!
