Exploding Heaven Gang (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)

The mountain forest was lush and verdant, with ancient pines and cypresses, and palm trees over a hundred meters tall, all growing everywhere.

After purchasing a yellow-maned horse in the West Market, Hun Han set off on his journey. Following the directions of the noodle shop owner's wife, he crossed three mountains and arrived at a three-way intersection. He then took the road leading to the highest peak.

A mountain in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, seemed within reach. Yet, Hun Han rode his horse at full gallop for three hours before finally reaching the foot of the colossal peak.

The mountain here was peculiar. While other places were filled with spiritual energy and lush greenery, this giant peak was an exception. Within a thousand meters of its base, there was no sign of life. Beyond that, the grass on the ground was withered and yellow, presenting a scene of desolation.

"Is this the Exploding Heaven Gang?"

Hun Han marveled inwardly, everything before him completely defying his imagination.

Not only was this gang notorious in the Black Corner Region, but the steps leading to the summit were also riddled with cracks from the erosion of time.

Beside the steps stood a stone tablet. It looked ancient, and the three large characters on it, "Exploding Heaven Gang!", were still faintly visible.

As he stepped onto the stairs, for some reason, a chill seeped into his body from the soles of his feet. Although the chill was faint, Hun Han's soul perception was extremely keen, allowing him to capture this subtle sensation. (This is important, it will be tested.)

Stepping on the gravel stairs, Hun Han ascended, finally arriving at a dilapidated thatched temple.

Calling it a temple was no exaggeration. The entire structure was built of rammed earth with a thatched roof. At the entrance, a plaque hung askew. A gentle breeze caused it to sway, emitting creaking sounds.

"Is anyone inside? I am Han Hun, a junior, here to pay my respects!"

Out of politeness, Hun Han cupped his fists and bowed towards the inside. Ancient temples hide swords, and deep mountains harbor hidden dragons. Things are not always as they seem; Hun Han understood this principle.

After he spoke, only the faint sound of the wind answered him.

"Is anyone inside? I am Han Hun, a junior, here to pay my respects!"

Seeing no response from within, Hun Hun clasped his fists again and spoke towards the thatched temple.

Besides the wind, only a crow on a dead tree responded to Hun Han's greeting.

"Since there's no answer, may I come in!"

Hun Han pushed open the door, and a desolate courtyard came into view.

The courtyard was not small, covering over a thousand mu. Scattered piles of gravel filled the area, covered in cobwebs. In the center of the courtyard stood a building exuding an ancient aura. The building had red walls and yellow tiles, reaching over fifty meters high, exuding antique charm. Its doors and windows had many large holes. The red paint on the walls and stone pillars had mostly peeled off due to the erosion of time.

"That must be the Exploding Heaven Gang's Sacred Hall!"

Hun Han rejoiced inwardly. The third location sign-in quest was proving to be too easy.

"Ah, a skull!"

As he moved through the desolate courtyard, Hun Han's foot suddenly stepped on something round. Looking down, he saw it was a skull.

As he continued forward, not only skulls but also human hands, feet, torsos, and other skeletal remains were scattered throughout the courtyard. Some bones lay scattered on the ground. Others, either complete or askew, lay on the ground, or were hanging from a dead tree.

As you walked through this desolate courtyard, you would inevitably stumble upon a few skeletons. Coupled with the cawing of crows, it added to the eerie atmosphere of the place.

One thing that left Hun Han speechless was that under some of the skeletons, there was even powdered lime, sprinkled by human hands.

"Child's play. Do they think these things can scare me!"

Hun Han chuckled twice. Since arriving in this world, he had taken more than ten lives. If he wasn't afraid of the living, why would he be afraid of mere skeletons that had turned to dust?

Perhaps in his previous life, it might have been possible. But in this life, it was absolutely impossible. How could he, Hun Han, be deterred by mere bones?

"This sign-in quest seems to have no difficulty at all!" Hun Han's lips curved into a smile as he leisurely approached the ancient hall.

"Huh? Why is there no system prompt?"

Hun Han marveled inwardly, a sense of confusion arising. He had arrived before the Sacred Hall, but no system voice sounded in his mind.

"Little brother, are you here to join our Exploding Heaven Gang?"

A sudden voice startled Hun Han. He then noticed that, at some unknown time, a living person was lying on the ground beside him.

The person was disheveled, holding a gourd-made wine pot, with a broken bowl and a wooden stick beside them. They were lying on a mat spread on the ground.

"You smelly beggar, how could it be you?" Hun Han looked at the other person in surprise, unable to help but curse. This person was none other than the beggar who had tried to swindle him in Twilight City.

"Smelly beggar?"

The beggar glanced at Hun Han, a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Hun Han to show up. He corrected, "You're mistaken, I don't smell. If a beggar reeked, how could they get any alms! Besides, I am no ordinary beggar!"

Hun Han smiled faintly, "Don't tell me you're the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang?"

The beggar sat up, shook his messy hair, and said with a smile, "Little brother, you are indeed intelligent. That's right, I am the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang!"

Hun Han laughed, unable to contain himself. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he said, "Old man, I gave you a Gold Coin earlier today. It's getting late now, and I'd like to stay here for the night. You won't mind, will you?"

The beggar nodded, "Hmm, of course, I don't mind."

"Great, thank you, old man!"

Hun Han cupped his fists and bowed to the beggar. Then, he walked to the entrance of the ancient hall, his heart filled with excitement as he reached out his hand. He could finally enter this ancient hall and complete his third sign-in quest.

The system's first sign-in quest was to sign in at the Dark Soul Stone Tablet of the Hun Clan. Through this sign-in, Hun Han obtained a Saint Grade Bloodline, which was even more advanced than a Divine Grade Bloodline!

The system's second sign-in quest was to sign in at the Library Pavilion of the Hun Clan. Through this sign-in, Hun Han obtained the Heaven-tier Advanced Body Refining Technique - the Creation Ascending Dragon Art!

In both his first and second location sign-in quests, Hun Han had obtained incredible treasures. Now, as he was about to complete the system's third location sign-in quest, what rare treasure would he obtain through this sign-in?

Hun Han's heart was filled with immense excitement. There was only this one ancient building on this giant peak. It was clear that the ancient hall before him was the Exploding Heaven Gang's Sacred Hall described in the sign-in quest.

As long as he entered, Hun Han would be able to complete the third location sign-in quest!
