No one knew about this—not even Zhan Ming. Old Salamander's seniority was even greater than Zhan Ming's. The name Zhan Gan could be found in the Zhan Family's genealogy, but as far as the family knew, Zhan Gan had died long ago, before he'd even reached adulthood.
No one knew that Zhan Gan hadn't died. He'd gone out to gain experience and faked his death to avoid the Zhan Family, all to prepare for becoming a Five-Clawed Heavenly Salamander through Beast-form Spiritual Molting.
No one had thought of that back then. Who would give up being a disciple of the Zhan Family, a family of the Gate of All Laws, to cultivate Beast-form Spiritual Molting? No one from the Zhan Family had ever done such a thing. They stood at the pinnacle of the Spiritualized Universe from birth. How could they possibly value Beast-form Spiritual Molting?
But Old Salamander—no, Zhan Gan—had done exactly that. He'd abandoned his Zhan Family identity and human-form spiritual molting for the sake of becoming a Five-Clawed Heavenly Salamander. The reason he was so obsessed was that he'd once seen Hunji.
Old Salamander hadn't said where he'd seen him. That was also why the Progenitor couldn't seize the Seal Heaven Foundation. Back then, after Old Salamander killed Wu Huang and brought Bian Xiaoxiao back, he'd told Lu Yin that he'd seen Hunji in the Spiritualized Universe and had been deeply shaken, which was why he'd undergone Beast-form Spiritual Molting to become Hunji. But at the time, he hadn't said he was Zhan Gan, and Lu Yin and the others could never have guessed. Besides, their attention had been focused on the Wei Domain.
If Lu Yin and the others had known then that Old Salamander was named Zhan Gan, how could they have let him go?
