All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Yao Guang Holy Land

In the core disciple's cave dwelling,
A divine light flashed in Wang Gan's eyes, and golden light and immortal energy surged around his body before he slowly fell silent. This was because he had slightly adapted to the realm of the Four Extremes Secret Realm within his cave, preparing for the upcoming great battle.

"come in!"

Wang Gan spoke calmly, looking towards the entrance of the cave.
"Senior Brother Wang!"

Zhang Xun walked in, bowing slightly. His arrogant yet obsequious manner was somewhat laughable.

Ever since he learned that he had offended a disciple of the Holy Lord, Zhang Xun had been living in constant fear. In the end, he exhausted all his wealth to gather some attractive resources and gave them to Wang Gan in an attempt to ease tensions.

Seeing how sensible he was, Wang Gan didn't bother to dwell on the previous minor misunderstandings and could only reluctantly accept it.
Inviting guests to meals, beheadings, and having subordinates treated like dogs.

"I have found out the information about the candidate for Holy Son that you asked me to inquire about."

Zhang Xun spoke respectfully because he had offended Wang Gan before, so he was now working very hard and also wanted to curry favor with him.

"There are currently eight candidates for Holy Son. The one ranked last is Senior Brother Gu. Like you, Senior Brother, he has only recently broken through to the Four Extremes Realm. However, his physical body is incredibly powerful. It is said that he has been tempered with the blood of a dragon since childhood, making him a formidable fighter."

"Not long after the breakthrough, he challenged the last candidate for Holy Son and successfully reached the top!"

Wang Gan nodded.

The position of candidate for Holy Son, as a substitute for the Holy Son of Yao Guang, not only enjoys far more privileges than ordinary people, but is also a symbol of status and prestige.

Most importantly, there's a high probability of getting a wave of Destiny Points.

After using some of his Destiny Points to break through to the Four Extremes Realm, Wang Gan had very few Destiny Points left. So, before leaving, Wang Gan planned to make a quick buck before departing.

"Ranked last? Then who's currently ranked first?"

Wang Gan's expression shifted, and he looked at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun replied,

"The first one is Senior Brother Li Rui. His current realm is already at the peak of the Four Extremes, and his strength and foundation are second only to the Holy Son of Yao Guang!"

Wang Gan squinted his eyes.

He remembered this Li Rui; he had some roles in the original novel, a supporting character of the elite caliber, and his personality was not likable. Of course, he eventually became Ye Hei's stepping stone.

"Ha, merely a peak-level expert at the fourth level, yet he dares to occupy the top position among the candidates for Holy Son?"

A sneer curled at the corner of Wang Gan's lips.
He's not even a dragon yet, how could he possibly compete with the Holy Son of Yao Guang, who inherited the legacy of a ruthless person, let alone with Ye Hei, who has cheat codes?

"So, what do you want?"

Zhang Xun was secretly surprised.

Could it be that Senior Brother Wang intends to challenge Li Rui, who is at the peak of the Four Extremes realm, in order to seize the position of candidate for Holy Son?!
According to the rules of the Yao Guang Holy Land, the candidates for Holy Son must also accept challenges from other core disciples, and only eight people can be selected.

"By the way, what's that Senior Brother Gu's name?"

Wang Gan then changed the subject.
"His name seems to be Gu Tianle!"

Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"What? Gu Tianle?"

Wang Gan's lips twitched. This name... is a bit arrogant.

Don't you know his nickname is Daniel Wu?!
"What's this guy's relationship with Gu Litian?"

Wang Gan's expression shifted, and he thought of someone.

“Senior Brother Gu and Gu Litian should be from the same clan,” Zhang Xun replied.

Gu Litian also had some roles in the original novel. He once chased after Ye Fan but was easily killed in return. Moreover, he was also proficient in physical cultivation. Wang Gan now realized that the two should have some connection.

"That's him! Tell us the location of his cave!"

"Just by hearing this guy's name, it's clear that it doesn't match my name at all!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Wang Gan had already made his decision.

Then, to Zhang Xun's somewhat bewildered expression, all that remained was the back view of Dugu Qiubai.

"Only a fool would fight someone of a higher level. I'm not Ye Hei, who's constantly being chased and forced to show off and get slapped in the face."

"If I'm going to fight someone of a higher level, I'll fight someone of a lower level!"

Leaving his own cave dwelling, Wang Gan, who was traveling through the void, sneered.
In lower-level worlds, Wang Gan's combat power was always overwhelming, so he often acted recklessly, knowing he could always escape and save himself some trouble.

But in this dark and brutal world where geniuses abound and the potential for greatness is extremely high, Wang Gan has only one principle in his conduct—
Stability and complacency!
What good is your fighting ability? Even the Great Emperor only has a lifespan of ten thousand years. As long as Wang Gan can outlive the Great Emperor, he can dance in front of the Great Emperor's grave!

If they weren't candidates for Holy Son, they would at least be at the Fourth Level. Wang Gan would have preferred to choose a disciple at the Dao Palace level to fight!

"This Gu Tianle is at the early stage of the Fourth Extreme Realm, the same as me, Yanzu, but his physical cultivation is not weak. We still need to play it safe."

Wang Gan looked at the system interface and used the remaining two Destiny Points.

[Destiny Points: 2-0]

[Primordial Holy Light Technique - Minor Success!]

The Primordial Holy Light Technique, as the ultimate killing technique of the Yao Guang Sect, combines offense and defense and has extremely high aspirations. The Holy Son of Yao Guang once used the Holy Light Technique to kill a Dragon Transformation cultivator who was at a higher level than the Four Extremes Secret Realm, which shows its unparalleled power and is enough to greatly increase Wang Gan's combat strength.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Wang?! He just broke through to the fourth level, doesn't he need to go into seclusion to consolidate his realm?"

"Can such a genius's breakthrough be compared to ours? Others can adapt to the power of the Fourth Extreme Realm in a short time, unlike us who have to go into seclusion for ten days or half a month to consolidate our realm."

The Four Extremes Secret Realm is different from the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm. Cultivators at this level are already able to perceive the Dao's trajectory in the world.
Generally speaking, after a cultivator enters this secret realm, they will go into seclusion for several months. With their keen perception of the Dao's trajectory, they will re-comprehend the supernatural abilities and secret techniques they previously cultivated, allowing their combat power to increase rapidly.

"Hiss! This direction leads to... the cave dwelling of the candidate holy son! Could it be..."

"Challenging a candidate saint so soon after breaking through? Isn't that a bit too presumptuous?!"

"Don't talk, let's go see the show!"

"This direction seems to lead to Senior Brother Gu's cave!"

"Senior Brother Gu's Flood Dragon Transformation is no joke; his combat power is unparalleled. He had only broken through to the next level not long before he slew the previous candidate for Holy Son. Senior Brother Wang... he's probably going to suffer a loss!"

Outside a luxurious palace,
Wang Gan spoke loudly.
"Junior Brother Wang Gan, I humbly request Senior Brother Gu's guidance!"

Before the words were finished, a wild laugh rang out.

A young man who looked to be in his early twenties, shirtless and with bulging muscles, came laughing. His bronze skin was like that of a bronze statue, his black hair was jet black, and his eyes were menacing.

His physique was like that of molten bronze, and every gesture he made made him seem brave and incomparably powerful!

He had long, jet-black hair and bright, sharp eyes that gave off a sense of pressure and even a touch of aggression. He seemed like a very assertive person who wanted to control everything.

Boom!
Gu Tianle rushed out of the hall, his feet landing heavily on the ground, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the hard bluestone.

"What a disciple of the Holy Lord! Daring to challenge a candidate Holy Son so soon after breaking through! He's probably blinded by the illusion of increased power from just breaking through!" (End of Chapter)
