Xiao Shi saw it clearly. Not far from the shrine, there were rows of bookshelves filled with antiques and books. There was a dazzling amount of them. Beside the bookshelf were many huge iron boxes neatly arranged. The boxes were filled with the Martial Emperor’s treasures.
However, the treasures in the box were all treasures below the Sage Realm. To Xiao Shi, they were not very meaningful.
The Martial Emperor would store treasures above the Sage Realm separately and not gather them in boxes. What Xiao Shi focused on now was mainly the books on the bookshelves.
Most of the books here were books on cultivation. Not only did it include various cultivation systems in the Great Martial Era, there was also the Martial Emperor’s systematic research on the past era. If he could understand all these books, he might know most of the cultivation systems in the world like the back of his hand.
With his current strength and realm, he no longer needed to change the cultivation system. However, it could help him improve some of his methods and killing moves. More importantly, with these books, he could better nurture the people in his domain.
To Sages, the stronger the citizens in their territory, the greater the improvement they could obtain. Especially when Xiao Shi saw through these ancient books of the old era. In the past, the Sages of those eras did not rely much on domains.
Actually, Xiao Shi had noticed this situation when he came into contact with the Red Refined Corpse and the Evil. After all, be it the Red Refined Corpse or the Evil that had reached the Sage Realm, they no longer had domains.
However, the combat power they could unleash was not inferior to a Sage with a domain. Only then did Xiao Shi understand through these books that the Sages of the Youyue Era and the Martial Corpse Era would not rely on domains.
Especially the Sages of the Martial Corpse Era. The way they broke through to the Sage Realm was to refine a Sage’s corpse. Among the ancient books that the Martial Emperor had collected, there were various Corpse Refinement Secret Techniques about the Martial Corpse Era.
It included the Red Refinement Secret Technique!! Although this secret skill was powerful and extraordinary, the conditions for cultivating it were also extremely harsh. There was a very high requirement for strength and realm. The weakest one had to reach the Sage Realm to cultivate this secret technique. With this secret technique, he could unleash the full strength of the Red Refined Corpse when controlling it.
Not only that, Xiao Shi could also refine the Red Refined Corpse through the Red Refined Secret Technique. At the moment, only he could do this. Even if others had grasped the Red Refined Secret Technique, they had to be in the environment of the Martial Corpse Era to refine the Red Refined Corpse.
Once one left the environment of the Martial Corpse Era, no matter what Corpse Refinement Secret Technique it was, it would lose its effect. Currently, only Xiao Shi’s domain had the environment of the Martial Corpse Era. Only he could refine corpses that were unique to the Martial Corpse Era.
This couldn’t help but give Xiao Shi an idea. He felt that since he now had the ancient cultivation books of various eras, after he absorbed a portion of martial artists into his domain, he could completely let these martial artists cultivate the power of these five ancient eras.
For example, the Corpse Refinement Secret Technique of the Martial Corpse Era, the Suppression of the Star Era, and the Mirror Era were all good choices. At that time, every martial artist in his domain would have a powerful Martial Corpse beside them. They all had powerful suppression abilities and could even split into mirror images.
Their strength would definitely be far stronger than martial artists in other fields.
Not only that, because the Sages of these eras did not rely on domains, martial artists who cultivated the power of this ancient era did not have to worry about not being able to find an area to refine when they broke through to the Sage realm.
In other words, a Sage could be born in Xiao Shi’s domain! This was unprecedented in the current Tianwu Continent. It was impossible for a second Sage to appear in the domain of every Sage.
However, Xiao Shi’s domain was special. It could give birth to more Sages besides him. Once there were other Sages in his domain, he could obtain an even greater increase in strength from his domain.
Clearly, when the Martial Emperor built this special area back then, not only did he consider the increase in strength he could obtain after refining this special area, but he also considered the future development of the domain.
This created a unique special area!
Other than that, Xiao Shi also found books related to the three realms of martial arts among these books. It involved how to become a Daolord and break through to the demigod realm. This made Xiao Shi feel as if he had obtained a treasure!
Currently, information about the three upper realms of martial arts was considered top secret in the entire Tianwu Continent. In the past, he could still obtain information about higher realms through Xiang Zizhen.
However, even Xiang Zizhen found it difficult to obtain information about the Upper Three Realms. Especially with their current relationship with the prince. It was even more impossible to obtain any information about the three upper realms of martial arts from the Great Wu Empire.
So these books were extremely valuable!
Xiao Shi continued to check the other treasures in the treasure vault. Most of the treasures here were below the Sage Realm..
