Ming Tai Pavilion was a sacred place that countless geniuses from the Human Tribe from the higher planes yearned to enter.

This was because there were millions of martial arts books here, and each one of them had been selected by Crowley to be the best of the best.

Under normal circumstances, only those who had achieved great merit in conquering foreign tribes were qualified to enter Ming Tai Pavilion, and there was a time limit for each entry.

However, Gu Ding and the others were different. They were personally invited by Ming Tai Pavilion's leader, Crowley.

However, even in terms of merit, the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had killed three Bug Tribe Lords and severely injured the Bug Tribe Queen Mother. No one could compare to them in terms of merit.

When they arrived at Ming Tai Pavilion with Crowley, Gu Ding and the others finally saw what Ming Tai Pavilion looked like.

It was a huge building that towered into the clouds. Every floor, and even every room, was arranged in a strange shape. It was not arranged according to common sense, but when stacked together, it looked like an incomparably huge mountain range.

Following Crowley into the pavilion, Gu Ding and the others realized that it was another world inside.

From the first floor onward, the surrounding walls were filled with books, extending all the way to the dome.

"So many …" Gu Ding could not help but exclaim.

"These are not secret books, just some miscellaneous books that I collect on a daily basis. Only the top three floors are secret books." Crowley shook his head and smiled.

"If there are so many books on each floor, your book collection must have exceeded three billion, right?" Neptune made a rough estimate.

"That's right, three billion one hundred and eighty-six million. The various martial arts secret books are actually just a fraction of my book collection. "Crowley nodded and smiled.

"Can I read all the books in here? Can I read anything other than the martial arts secret books? "Neptune asked quickly.

"Of course. You can read all the books in Ming Tai Pavilion except for the three sets of Lord God Divine Powers on the top floor." Crowley nodded readily.

"That's great. Thank you!" A smile finally appeared on Neptune's face.

Neptune immediately split into two avatars and walked in two different directions. They picked up the books on the wall and began to flip through them quickly.

Seeing the Ocean Emperor's reading speed, Krolly was not surprised. This was because when one used their Soul Power to sense and read, as long as they flipped to a page, their soul would automatically record the image and store it in their brain. He thought that the Sea Emperor was using this method to memorize and couldn't help but find it a little funny. He also felt that Neptune would not be able to persist for long before he gave up on this method of reading. That was because many of the books he had collected were things that even he himself had not read. Some of the contents of the books could be simply written by people without any practical meaning.

"We can go now."

Neptune glanced at the two doppelgangers working, then looked up at Gu Ding.

"Uncle, let's go up."

Crowley nodded and brought them to the elevator in the center of the attic. They reached the one thousand three hundred and sixty-sixth floor, which was the third last floor of the entire attic.

Aside from the elevator, Crowley pointed at the walls on both sides. "This floor and the floor above contain all kinds of martial arts secret manuals. There are a total of 5.87 million books. You can read them on your own. I'm going back to the house on the top floor. If you need anything, you can find me on the top floor. I won't be leaving anytime soon. Even if I leave, I'll leave a will projection behind. Just treat this place like your own home. Don't feel like you're being restricted. "

After Crowley finished speaking, he took the elevator to the top floor.

Meanwhile, Gu Ding and the rest began to look for the secret manuals they needed.

Gu Ding walked to the martial arts section, picked a book, and quickly flipped through it.

Biggie and Phaser chose the swordsmanship and swordsmanship sections respectively and picked a book to read.

Neptune, on the other hand, split into hundreds of doppelgangers and went down the elevator. They spread out on each floor and started reading. Neptune's original body stayed on the same floor as Gu Ding and the rest. He picked up a book and started reading quickly.

"One hundred and eighty doppelgangers …"

On the top floor of the attic, Crowley sat in front of a black coffee table. He picked up a cup of fragrant tea with one hand and brought it to his lips. His other hand held a book and his thumb slowly flipped through the pages. He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly as he muttered.

Neptune knew that Crowley already knew about his doppelgangers, but he did not care. His one hundred and eighty doppelgangers were skimming through the books in the attic, transferring all the data into his mind.

His original body was also skimming through all kinds of martial arts secret manuals.

Three days passed by quickly and Neptune's original body had finally finished reading all the martial arts secret manuals on both floors.

As for Gu Ding and the rest, they had only read less than a hundred books.

After returning from the one thousand three hundred and sixty-seventh floor, Neptune immediately gathered Gu Ding and the rest.

"Neptune, what's the matter?" Gu Ding asked curiously.

"It's too slow for you to read like this. I've finished reading all the martial arts secret manuals. Now, I'll transfer the data directly into your mind. This will save you a lot of time," Neptune said as he tapped three fingers on their foreheads.

A moment later, a lot of information appeared in their minds.

"Thank you. It's much faster to read directly in my mind," Gu Ding said with a smile. He returned to the martial arts secret manuals section.

Biggie and Phaser returned to their respective areas and sat down cross-legged as they began to digest the additional memories in their minds.

Gu Ding sorted out the sets of techniques in his mind and quickly immersed himself in the memories.

Biggie and Phaser did the same and quickly immersed themselves in the memories.

Neptune also sat down cross-legged. He was not sorting out his memories but was fully immersed in the data collection, increasing the reading speed of his doppelgangers by twenty to thirty percent.

While Gu Ding and the rest were busy in Mingtai Pavilion, Liliath and the rest finally arrived at the foreign secret realm.

"Remember, you can only explore the periphery. With your current strength, it is very likely that you will die if you go too deep into the Secret Territory." Before opening the Secret Territory, Baroklov warned the group in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, Lord Chief. Actually, the guy who likes to mess around the most isn't here. You don't have to worry about us, we won't mess around." Liliath said with a smile. The reckless guy she was talking about was, of course, Captain Gu Ding.

Baroklov looked at Liliath's smile and felt uneasy, but he had no choice but to open the secret realm's entrance.

Then, he watched as Gu Ding and the rest entered the secret realm's entrance …
