Do You Know the Forbidden Door? The Forbidden Door? An Opportunity! Novel Collection!

On the banks of the Tongtian River.

Hongjun, Luohu, Ancestral Dragon, Fenghuang, Shi Qilin, Qiankun, Five Elements, and Yin Yang Ancestor, eight figures, stood with a subtle, awkward, or perhaps hostile atmosphere.

The Ancestral Dragon and the other seven stood on one side, while Hongjun stood alone on the other.

Hongjun was initially fine. Although a bit awkward, he had a thick skin and could simply ignore it. After all, he was the one who had schemed against these people. Now that all the ones he had schemed against had gathered, he should have been mentally prepared.

However, while he could ignore it, he couldn't stand these people staring at him constantly, either with cold eyes, ferocious gazes, cackling laughter, or emanating killing intent. Who could withstand that?

It was enough to make anyone feel uneasy and restless.

Hongjun felt a pang in his teeth, thinking that if he had known they were coming, he would have avoided them. If he couldn't afford to offend them, couldn't he just come back later? Unfortunately, it was too late to think about that now.

"The number of times I'll meet Senior River God will only increase in the future, and these people are the first to align themselves with Senior River God. I'll likely be interacting with them a lot in the future..."

"No, I must also win over a group of talented individuals. Otherwise, if it's just me, who knows when I'll be ambushed."

Hongjun thought to himself.

Although he was currently in a leading position, Hongjun didn't believe that these people wouldn't have opportunities with Senior River God present, and that they wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

They couldn't do anything to him now, which was why they hadn't made a move. But what if they could? Wouldn't he be finished then?

No matter how strong he was alone, he couldn't withstand so many people.

"Hongjun, aren't you amazing? Don't you calculate everything flawlessly and have it all under control? Why are you here?"

Luohu said disdainfully.

"How dare you! Are you disrespecting Senior River God? I am merely a junior, what's so surprising about coming to pay respects to Senior River God."

Hongjun reprimanded.

"..."

Luohu was speechless.

How had he never noticed this scoundrel was such a sycophant before?

Senior River God hasn't even appeared yet, and you're already sucking up like this?

Where is your pride? Where is your unfathomable nature? You've thrown all dignity away!

Hongjun didn't press the issue further. The main reason was that he knew Luohu had more people on his side, and he wouldn't be able to win an argument. So, after retaliating, Hongjun immediately threw a Spirit Treasure into the river.

Seeing this, the others swallowed their sarcastic and barbed remarks and each took out an Innate Spirit Treasure to throw into the river.

Although Senior River God had said that once their cultivation was stable, he would bestow opportunities, and hadn't said they needed to offer Spirit Treasures according to the rules, just because the senior hadn't said it didn't mean they shouldn't give them. Every single person present understood this principle.

"Buzz!!!"

The river water churned, ripples spread, and Tang Xuan's figure appeared above the river.

"Everyone, long time no see."

Tang Xuan's gaze swept over them, and he said with a smile.

Tang Xuan naturally saw the discord among them, but he didn't care or intervene.

Conflicts were normal. These people weren't his puppets. Just because they were now in the same camp didn't mean they would bury the hatchet. Competition would lead to greater potential, and Tang Xuan was happy to see it.

As long as they deviated further from their original destinies, as long as they became stronger and stronger, the Wish Origin he could obtain would also be endless.

"Greetings, Senior River God."

"Greetings, Senior River God."

The eight bowed deeply and said respectfully.

"No need for formalities. Since your cultivation is stable, let's get down to business."

Tang Xuan said slowly.

"Thank you, Senior."

The eight men's spirits lifted, and their eyes showed intense anticipation.

"Before I begin, there's one more thing I need to clarify. Do you know about the Gate of Taboo?"

Tang Xuan said leisurely.

As soon as he said this, Hongjun's eyelids twitched. He was stunned.

What? Senior, why are you mentioning the Gate of Taboo to everyone you meet, asking everyone about the Gate of Taboo?

Isn't this a secret, a hidden matter, something of great importance!?

Tang Xuan: I want everyone to know about the Gate of Taboo!

A bunch of rats in the gutter, losers. You think you deserve respect? What's the point of being mysterious? Is it necessary?

The unknown and the mysterious inspire fear. But if it becomes commonplace, known to everyone, then there will be no fear.

He was already planning to flip the table, so why would he care if the Gate of Taboo was a secret?

"The Gate of Taboo? May I ask, Senior, what is the Gate of Taboo?"

Luohu and the others exchanged glances, looking at each other in confusion. Luohu asked.

"Hongjun, you explain it."

Tang Xuan gestured to Hongjun.

"Yes, Senior."

Hongjun had no choice but to explain the matter of the Gate of Taboo in general terms.

"Buried countless Primordial Eras? Great terror? Taboo? Immeasurable Calamity?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's breathing hitched, and their eyes filled with deep shock.

"Senior, since the Gate of Taboo contains countless destroyed Primordial Eras, can we use the Gate of Taboo to gain benefits?"

Ancestral Dragon's heart stirred. Recalling Tang Xuan's previous words about broadening one's horizons, his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

As soon as he said this, Luohu's eyes also brightened, as if a veil had been lifted.

"Senior, I cultivate the Great Dao of Demons and the Great Dao of Destruction. Since the Gate of Taboo is the end, doesn't that mean I can comprehend the Gate of Taboo and rapidly improve my cultivation?"

Luohu followed up immediately.

"???"

Hongjun was stunned.

Wait, aren't you all afraid, or wary, or vigilant?

Wait!

As if struck by a realization, a sense of clarity dawned on Hongjun.

That's right, their Primordial Era is different from other Primordial Eras. They have an unfathomable River God Senior here. If that's the case, what is there to fear?

On the contrary, the Gate of Taboo is an opportunity, a creation!

It was his accumulated vigilance and suspicion that made him treat the Gate of Taboo with such caution. In reality, it was completely unnecessary.

Is this why the River God Senior wanted to reveal this matter?

Hongjun understood, feeling a surge of admiration.

"Indeed, if planned properly, the Gate of Taboo may not necessarily be unusable for strengthening oneself."

Tang Xuan smiled and nodded slightly.

After giving everyone a basic understanding of the Gate of Taboo, Tang Xuan didn't elaborate further. A hint was enough.

"As for your cultivation paths..."

Tang Xuan flipped his palm, condensing imprints and giving them to Hongjun and the others: "You can refer to these."

"This is..."

"A Novel Collection?"

Sensing the information contained within the imprints, everyone was taken aback, murmuring to themselves.

Yes, a Novel Collection!

Exactly, a Novel Collection!

Tang Xuan had compiled all the novels he had read in his previous life, including but not limited to the Primordial Era and all other genres. He had packaged them all at once and given them to Hongjun and everyone else!

When he said he was going to play big, he wasn't just talking!
