All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

"I'll go in and reap the rewards after they've finished fighting!"

A smug smile curled at the corner of Duan De's lips.

"This is the palace where the Great Emperor once lived. Without sufficient means, even the top holy sons and daughters would not be able to take away the treasures inside."

When Duan De stepped into the palace, what came into view were the holy sons and daughters frozen in place by the chaotic divine light.

"really!"

Duan De was overjoyed upon seeing this.

"They're all frozen in place by the Chaos Stone! This thing is destined for me; it's meant to be mine!"

As he spoke, Duan De used some unknown means to ignore the divine light emitted by the Chaos Stone, bypassing the holy sons and daughters and quietly slipping towards the Chaos Stone.

But when Duan De looked up, he saw a scene he did not want to see.

Seeing the chaotic chessboard overhead and the primordial energy descending,
Wang Gan casually sat on the Chaos Stone, reminiscing about the treatment he had received from the Great Emperor Wushi, and began to examine the contents of the ancient scroll made of animal hide.

With the addition of Xuanhuang Qi and Immortal Gold, there is no doubt that the material of Wang Gan's forbidden artifact is comparable to that of the Chaos Divine Stone, which is why it can come and go freely under the Chaos Divine Light.

"I've already sent Ye Fan to the Purple Mountain map. He's obtained the Origin Book, and apart from the Great Emperor, no one can claim to be able to escape unscathed from that place."

"Although it contains the 'Beginningless Scripture' sealed by the Beginningless Emperor, even a Quasi-Emperor cannot break the seal without the Beginningless Emperor's token."

"Going there would be like a eunuch visiting a brothel—a complete waste of time!"

Wang Gan shook his head and placed the ancient animal hide scroll aside.
Besides the map of Zishan, the other half of the animal skin scroll clearly showed the whereabouts of the Xingzi Secret. However, for Wang Gan, who already possessed part of the essence of the Xingzi Secret, the Great Void Technique was dispensable.

"It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to throw it away."

Wang Gan shook his head, put the animal skin scroll aside, and looked down at the Chaos Stone beneath him.

Seeing his blood and qi surge, his strength gathered into one, and his arms burst forth with the power of a dragon and an elephant, he forcefully lifted upwards!
"..."

Not moving at all!

The Chaos Stone stood firmly on the ground, without even the slightest sign of being shaken, as if it had taken root in this temple.

Wang Gan's lips twitched. Sure enough, this Chaos Stone was incredibly heavy. If he were at the Immortal Platform Realm, he might be able to lift it.

Fortunately, he still has the Chaos Chessboard!

A chaotic chessboard of primordial energy surged forth, enveloping the chaotic stone with a thunderous roar. Boundless divine power poured in, and profound Daoist forces lifted it up, dissolving most of the chaotic stone's energy.

This time, Wang Gan exerted his strength again, and finally the Chaos Stone moved. Wang Gan lifted it up and took the opportunity to activate the Bitter Sea, taking the Chaos Stone into it.

However, at that very moment, a chubby figure suddenly rushed out of the hall and snatched towards the Chaos Stone; it was none other than Duan De, who had disappeared.

Duan De was bulky but agile, ignoring the force field of the Chaos Stone. Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Gan put the Chaos Stone away, he grabbed the animal skin scroll.

"Be bold!"

Wang Gan's expression changed, and he reacted just as quickly, grabbing the other half of the animal hide scroll in his hand.
The powerful force tore the ancient animal skin scroll in two!
"Amitabha! This Nine Secret Techniques are destined for me!"

Duan De laughed triumphantly, thinking he had gotten the better deal and was the ultimate winner!

Not only that, Duan De also set his sights on the other half of the ancient scroll in Wang Gan's possession. Insatiable in his greed, he refused to leave.
"hateful!"

Wang Gan's face darkened as he looked at the half-finished ancient scroll in his hand, his expression seemingly filled with anger.
Meanwhile, because Wang Gan had taken the Chaos Stone, the newly freed Holy Sons and Daughters looked at Wang Gan and his companion with varying expressions.

Wang Gan naturally received extra attention from the Holy Sons and Daughters. He not only gained a Chaos Stone and half of an ancient animal skin scroll, but also a super forbidden artifact made of immortal gold and primordial yellow energy!

This guy is so rich!

However, remembering Wang Gan's domineering methods just now, the Holy Sons and Daughters softened their stance and turned their attention to Duan De, who seemed easier to control. Duan De's expression changed as he sensed the dangerous gazes of the prodigies.

He didn't even bother with the other half of the 'Nine Secrets' in Wang Gan's hands, and simply vanished like the wind.

"The wind is so tight!"

"I'll leave the other half of the Nine Secrets to Fellow Daoist Wang for safekeeping for now. I will come back to retrieve it later!"

Seeing Duan De walk away, the Holy Sons and Daughters rode their divine light to chase after him, attempting to seize half of the 'Nine Secrets' that Duan De held.

"Chase!"

"Don't let that fatso get away!"

"Half of the Nine Secrets are in his hands!"

Wang Gan watched Duan De leave, but made no move; instead, a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

He did it on purpose, of course. On one hand, he wanted Duan De, that fatso, to draw everyone's attention, since there was no record of the Nine Secrets on the ancient animal skin scroll. But others obviously wouldn't believe such a thing.

When the Nine Secrets are targeted, even though the King dares not be wary, he will still be extremely annoyed.

On the other hand, it was also to teach Duan De a lesson. Wang Gan deliberately left a part of the Purple Mountain map from the ancient animal skin scroll to this fatso.
Given the unpredictable nature of Zishan, even a God-King was trapped there. Even if this fat man is highly skilled and protected by good fortune, he'll still have to suffer greatly before he can get out.

Moreover, Duan De no longer has the Devouring Demon Canopy as his trump card.

"Holy Lord!"

"Should I chase after what that fat Duan De has?"

Wang Gan was startled. The Bodhi Ancient Seal between his eyebrows swept across and he noticed Ye Fan's figure, who was hiding nearby.

I don't know what methods Ye Fan used, but it must be a secret technique from the Origin Heaven Book. Wang Gan almost got fooled because he didn't investigate carefully. No wonder he was able to gain benefits among so many geniuses in the original work.

"Need not."

Wang Gan also sent a telepathic message back.

"That half of the ancient scroll records the map of Purple Mountain, which I deliberately left for that guy Duan De. As for the other half, it records the location of the Xingzi Secret Treasure among the Nine Secrets, which is not very valuable to my Tianxuan Holy Land."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan almost burst out laughing.

"Zishan?! That fatso is probably in for a rough time."

Ye Fan had just returned from Zishan and naturally knew how dangerous it was. Even a God King could be trapped there, and even the ancestor of the Source Celestial Master couldn't do anything about it, which showed how dangerous it was.

"Wang Gan!"

"We know you are very strong, having already broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, but we geniuses are not to be underestimated!"

"That's right! Hand over the Nine Secrets and the Chaos Stone, and we might let you go!"

On the other side, the remaining holy sons and daughters, with a hint of bravado but no real fear, spoke up with threats.

Although many prodigies went after Duan De, there were still some persistent individuals who wanted to gain benefits from Wang Gan.

"Ugh"

Wang Gan sighed, his expression calm.
"I'll give you a chance, come at me all at once."

"I'll take on ten of them!" (End of Chapter)
