Tongtian wore a mocking expression and said again, "How could there be such a powerhouse? Hurry up and take me there!"
Zhuge Chengfeng felt utterly helpless.
He guessed that this person was most likely some reclusive old monster. His personality was extremely eccentric, and he could not afford to offend him!
But he was only considered an expert within Chu State. How could he know where any Heaven-tier powerhouses were? Those were all legendary immortals.
Still, if he said nothing, he felt that both he and the princess would be in danger.
With a monster like this, even if he really killed them, did Chu State have the ability to avenge them?
As his thoughts raced, Zhuge Chengfeng said, "Senior, this junior's strength is too low to come into contact with the Heaven-tier powerhouses you mentioned. However, I do know of two places where powerful beings might have appeared!"
"Oh? Tell me!" Tongtian immediately appeared in front of Zhuge Chengfeng with Chu Yu.
Zhuge Chengfeng hurriedly said, "Not far from here lives a powerful demon snake. I encountered it many years ago. It already showed signs of transforming into a dragon, and it guards a wondrous treasure—the Blazing Immortal Lotus!"
"A demon snake that hasn't even transformed into a dragon—how strong could it be? What else?" Tongtian asked impatiently.
Zhuge Chengfeng quickly said, "Divine beast qilins have been spotted in the Luofeng Mountains!"
To be honest, the divine beasts they spoke of were truly nothing special to Tongtian.
The dragons and qilins of the Primordial Wilderness had already declined to such an extent!
After thinking for a moment, Tongtian still said, "Fine. Take me to see that demon snake first, then we'll find that qilin!"
Dragons and qilins were also extraordinary creatures in God's Tomb World. Perhaps they were Divine Treasures that had taken human form?
"All right, Senior!"
Zhuge Chengfeng glanced at Chu Yu and the others, then hesitated. "Senior, about that girl from Chu State and the others... could you let them leave first?"
"Whatever," Tongtian said coldly.
Zhuge Chengfeng felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He immediately signaled to Chu Yu and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry back to the palace!"
Unexpectedly, Chu Yu turned to the guards and said, "You all go back."
Then Chu Yu ran up to Zhuge Chengfeng, grabbed his arm, and said, "Old man, I want to go catch a dragon and a qilin too!"
"Stop fooling around. Leave!" Zhuge Chengfeng frantically signaled to Chu Yu.
But Chu Yu simply refused to go. Tongtian, standing nearby, said unhappily, "Don't waste my time."
With no other choice, Zhuge Chengfeng could only take Chu Yu along and head with Tongtian to the volcano where he had encountered the demon snake.
When they arrived outside the volcano, Zhuge Chengfeng said, "Senior, that demon snake is..."
Before he could finish, Tongtian had already acted. He reached out and grabbed directly toward the volcano.
Immediately afterward, an angry roar came from within the volcano. Its aura was incredibly powerful.
Zhuge Chengfeng cried out in surprise, "Good heavens! This demon snake has definitely reached the verge of breaking through to the sixth or even seventh rank. It's about to transform into a dragon!"
"Old man, look! That little snake is coming out!" Chu Yu shouted.
Zhuge Chengfeng shook his head. "What nonsense are you talking about? That's a demon snake about to transform into a dragon. How could it be a little—"
In the next moment, Zhuge Chengfeng's eyes widened, and his mouth hung open wide enough to fit a dragon egg.
A small snake with rainbow-colored scales really did fly straight out of the volcano, then land in the hands of the old monster before them.
He had grabbed a demon snake that was about to transform into a dragon out of a volcano with his bare hand?
If this wasn't a seventh-rank or higher immortal martial expert, he would twist off his own head and use it as a chamber pot!
Tongtian looked at the terrified little snake struggling in his hand and felt quite disappointed. After all, it wasn't a Divine Treasure that had taken human form.
However, there were four bulges on the little snake's abdomen, as well as one on its head. It truly was on the verge of transforming into a dragon.
"Since you're not transforming into a Western lizard, I'll help you out!"
After saying this, Tongtian lightly tapped the little snake's body, then tossed it away as casually as if he were throwing out garbage.
After being thrown away, the little snake instantly transformed into a gigantic creature dozens of meters long and began roaring madly in the air!
During this process, the bulge on its head grew into a pair of golden deer antlers, while its rainbow-colored scales also turned golden.
Roar!
A dragon's cry rang across the sky. At the same time, four dragon claws grew from its abdomen.
Chu Yu's eyes shone with excitement as she shouted, "Oh my goodness! I've seen the legendary dragon—the Eastern Divine Dragon!"
Zhuge Chengfeng was also dumbstruck, his gaze darting repeatedly between the divine dragon and Tongtian.
With a casual tap, he had helped a demon snake transform into a dragon. Just who was this old monster?
At this moment, the demon snake had completely transformed into a Golden Dragon. Its dragon might spread outward, causing countless insects and beasts to tremble.
Zhuge Chengfeng desperately protected Chu Yu, his face flushed red. Clearly, he was struggling to endure it.
Fortunately, the Golden Dragon quickly restrained its dragon might, transformed into a little golden dragon, and came before Tongtian. It lay on the ground in a kneeling posture.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. This little dragon is willing to follow you for all eternity!"
The Golden Dragon made itself extremely humble, as if it feared that Tongtian might refuse to keep it.
It had no choice but to be humble. The shock in the Golden Dragon's heart was no less than Zhuge Chengfeng's. Although it had been about to transform into a dragon, it would have needed at least a thousand years, and it was still unknown whether the transformation would succeed. Yet this person before it had merely transferred a wisp of power to it and directly helped it transform successfully!
A figure like this was unquestionably a powerful backer. It had to cling to him tightly!
Tongtian studied the Golden Dragon and found that it was only in the Void Refinement Realm. It had not even entered the Immortal Realm.
With such strength, Tongtian would not have spared it a glance in the Primordial Wilderness. However, in God's Tomb World, it could barely serve as a mount.
He took one step and landed on the Golden Dragon's head, then said to Zhuge Chengfeng and the others, "Get on. We're going to that Luofeng Mountains place!"
"Us too?"
Zhuge Chengfeng looked weakly at the Golden Dragon, which was definitely a seventh-rank existence. Clearly, he did not dare to climb on.
Tongtian could not be bothered to say more. With a wave of his hand, Zhuge Chengfeng and Chu Yu appeared atop the Golden Dragon's head. "Give it directions!"
"Wow! This princess is actually riding a dragon! Hahaha!"
Chu Yu excitedly hopped around on the Golden Dragon's head, frightening Zhuge Chengfeng half to death.
Even so, Zhuge Chengfeng obediently said, "Three hundred li ahead, there's a city called Dantai City. Farther south from there is..."
"Dantai City? What does it have to do with Dantai Xuan?" Tongtian interrupted him.
In Chen Nan's limited memories, the name Dantai Xuan had appeared many times!

In Chen Nan's memories, he had originally been a genius prodigy of the Chen family.
It was only after meeting that woman named Dantai Xuan that his cultivation stopped advancing, and he became a good-for-nothing.
Clearly, this fellow had fallen into the hands of that woman named Dantai Xuan.
Just as Zhuge Chengfeng was about to speak, Chu Yu spoke first, as if claiming credit. "Old Immortal, Fairy Dantai's name is Dantai Xuan. She descended here a thousand years ago, so this place was renamed Dantai City."
"A thousand years ago?" Tongtian raised his brows.
Chu Yu nodded. "Yes. That's what the legends say. Fairy Dantai became an immortal and broke through the void many years ago."
"How many years is 'many years'?" Tongtian asked.
Chu Yu was speechless. How could she know such details? She could only cast a pleading look at Zhuge Chengfeng.
Understanding her meaning, Zhuge Chengfeng hurriedly said, "Senior, according to some ancient records, Fairy Dantai is said to have become an immortal and entered the Celestial Realm around ten thousand years ago. This can also be inferred from the fact that Dantai Holy Land has already existed for several thousand years."
"Ten thousand years ago..." Tongtian narrowed his eyes.
Ten thousand years was nothing in the Primordial Wilderness, but in the Great Desolation World, it represented countless changes of earth and sea.
More importantly, Chen Nan had apparently been buried for around ten thousand years.
Even without thinking deeply, Tongtian could tell that this little fellow Chen Nan had an extraordinary identity. He seemed to be involved in some enormous scheme.
Standing atop the dragon's head, Tongtian began seriously considering the simulator's trial for the first time.
A survival challenge? If he merely had to survive, it did not seem difficult. He could simply find a place and lie low.
But if that were all, what was the point of the trial?
An examination should have a goal, right?
If every examination lasted a thousand years, and he failed every time, wouldn't he have to continue taking examinations forever?
Tongtian had no patience for that. He had to obtain this Innate Supreme Treasure as quickly as possible!
After thinking for a long while, Tongtian felt that he might have gotten the trial's logic wrong.
He had been misled by the Tomb Guardian Elder. He was now focused on finding Divine Treasures and had overlooked the trial itself!
As long as he passed the trial, he would be able to obtain the entire Innate Supreme Treasure!
By then, wouldn't all the living Divine Treasures within the Innate Supreme Treasure belong to him as well?
"Perhaps I need to start with Chen Nan's identity!"
"His identity is the trial's main thread. I probably have to complete some ultimate objective before this simulation trial can be considered over!"
