"It seems there's no escaping this calamity!"
Wang Hao looked at Chen Zhan's clone, who was blocking his way with a hearty smile, with a disgruntled expression.
Although he didn't know if Chen Zhan was a cunning old fox, he was definitely a Ruthless. Don't be fooled by his current carefree appearance; if he dared to say a single word against it, he would definitely be killed by this guy.
Although he had a trump card to save his life, he really didn't want to expose it like this, otherwise his future days would be difficult.
With a flash of thought, Wang Hao realized that he had no choice but to compromise!
"I don't know much either, but Tantai Xuan seems to be a disciple of some important figure, and she has some connection with the Chaotic Battle Sect. It seems she's searching for some kind of supreme treasure."
" Chaotic Battle Sect! Are Mad Devil?"
Upon hearing Wang Hao's last words, "treasure," Chen Zhan's clone's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Coincidentally, he possessed a rare treasure in his possession, and the Chaotic Battle Sect reminded him of that Mad Devil.
Among the Chaotic Battle Sect, only the Mad Devil who founded the sect had the power to scheme for that supreme treasure.
It seems that the girl's approach to Nan'er was indeed ill-intentioned!
Chen Zhan's clone confirmed that Tantai Xuan did indeed harbor ulterior motives, and that the person behind her might not dare to face him directly, so she turned her attention to her own son.
Dragons have Reverse Scale that cannot be touched; they will surely enrage you!
Family is Chen Zhan's Achilles' Reverse Scale; how could she not be furious that her own son was being targeted and plotted against by the enemy?
"I noticed you were also worried Desire Dao the true identity of that little girl from the Erotic Path. Is there some hidden meaning behind it?"
Suppressing his anger and murderous intent, Chen Zhan's clone asked again out of curiosity.
Judging from this kid's reaction to that girl Tantai Xuan, he must be quite something. And when he inquired Desire Dao the girl's identity, he had the same reaction.
Clearly, that little girl's identity is definitely not simple.
"This is the secret of the Desire Dao, please forgive me for not being able to tell you!"
Wang Hao gave a brief reply, not intending to reveal Nangong Xian'er's secrets, and he was even vague about Tantai Xuan's previous secrets.
Although he didn't want to Chen Zhan, it didn't mean he was afraid of this guy. If he was really pushed to the limit, he could just unleash his True Spirit Will and fight, wiping out the entire Huaxia Nation.
With this confidence, and knowing that he was already being watched by Chen Zhan, he understood that he couldn't leave the Huaxia Nation for the time being, so he didn't bother to pretend anymore.
" The Huaxia Nation has many fun places to visit. Young man, you can stay in the capital and explore it during the competition!"
With a smile, Chen Zhan's clone vanished from the spot in a flash.
Although the words were spoken in a forthright and polite manner, the threat was palpable, clearly indicating that Wang Hao would not be allowed to leave the Huaxia Nation during the competition.
"I'll remember this Cause and Effect, Master Hao. I hope you won't regret it someday!"
Threatened repeatedly, Wang Hao grew angry, muttered something to himself, and turned back to the competition venue, just in time to run into Nangong Xian'er who was chasing after him.
Nangong Xian'er was initially furious, calmed down immediately upon seeing Wang Hao's cold expression.
In the six months they'd known each other, she'd never seen this man with such an expression before; he'd always been so calm and composed. Clearly, something had just happened that she didn't know about.
Without saying much, Wang Hao returned to his seat with a cold face. Nangong Xian'er and the other girls noticed that Wang Hao was in a bad mood, so they didn't say anything.
The day-long competition came to an end, and Wang Hao, who hadn't uttered a word all day, silently returned to the Listening to Rain Pavilion, while simultaneously plotting to revise his future development plan.
Now that Chen Zhan has already set his sights on them, staying in the Human Realm will inevitably make it difficult to escape his attention, and their previous plan to develop stealthily has been completely shattered.
Therefore, he needs to formulate a completely new development plan, and the Huaxia Empire might be able to make use of it.
Wang Hao asked Song Jiaojiao to find a detailed map of the distribution of power in the Human Realm, and began to study the map.
At dawn, Nangong Xian'er, who had finished her cultivation with Ye Shuanghua and her other close friends, entered Wang Hao's room with a cup of tea and snacks. Seeing Wang Hao frowning and deep in thought while looking at the huge map hanging on the wall, she couldn't help but ask him about it out of curiosity.
What are you thinking about?
"I remember that before the first day of the competition, the Great Emperor of Huaxia said that the champion of this competition would be rewarded with a fiefdom, right?"
His gaze finally settled on a section of the map on the wall, Wang Hao asked a seemingly random question.
"You want that place?"
Following Wang Hao's gaze, Nangong Xian'er also saw the hundreds of small circles that Wang Hao had marked on the map with a brush beforehand. Clearly, these were places that Wang Hao valued.
These places were all pretty good, but she didn't understand why Wang Hao ultimately chose the worst one.
That place was truly a desolate and barren land, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was extremely scarce, so it was really of little value.
"Yes, I plan to go there after this competition and develop it into a core base."
Nodding, Wang Hao didn't try to hide anything. After all, it would be extremely difficult for him to develop that area quickly on his own; he would have to rely on Nangong Xian'er and the power of the Path of Passion and Desire Dao behind her, as well as the entire Six Primordial Evil Daos.
"Then why did you choose the worst one? Aren't all the dozens of regions along the Endless Sea better?"
As a genius with a vast knowledge and excellent memory, Nangong Xian'er had read many classic texts, so even though she had never been to those places, she still had a considerable understanding of them.
She also saw that Wang Hao had drawn dozens of small circles along the shore of the Endless Sea, clearly indicating that those places were within his consideration, and that they were indeed quite nice locations.
You'll find out later!
With a mysterious smile, Wang Hao made no attempt to explain.
Although the novel "Tomb of Gods " is merely a Projection of the fate of this world onto the main world Earth, and then written through Dong Ge's artistic processing, it inevitably differs considerably from reality.
However, some main events are still worth referring to. For example, ten thousand years later, the Eastern Immortal Fantasy Continent and the Western Fantasy Continent in the Human Realm are connected, and the time point is in this era.
Once the territories of two civilizations come into contact, war becomes inevitable, and powerful beings at the level of Immortal God will inevitably intervene.
The two continents are currently separated by the Endless Sea. Once the two continents come into contact, the shore of the Endless Sea will inevitably become the core of the war.
Although wars often bring great opportunities, unfortunately, that war was already not far off.
Although the novel does not specify the exact time of the war, it must have been within a hundred years.
It could be ninety-nine years from now, or it could be a year from now; either way is possible.
If war breaks out 99 years from now, that would be fine, but if it breaks out a year from now, that would be disastrous.
That amount of time was simply not enough for him to develop his power; it would be completely destroyed by war in the blink of an eye.
So he chose a spot a little further back, which, although less desirable, was safer.
Moreover, given enough time, they could forcefully occupy the coast of the Endless Sea. After weathering that war, they could use it as a stronghold to control the hub of communication between the two continents, and the benefits would be unimaginable.
Of course, he wouldn't reveal these plans, otherwise it would be impossible to explain. After all, there were far too many secrets involved, and he couldn't explain the information about the two continents coming into contact.
You want me to join you as a franchisee?
She rolled her eyes at Wang Hao, Nangong Xian'er her gaze shifted, and she roughly understood the intention behind Wang Hao telling her all this.
She knew this guy's background; he was definitely from the grassroots, with no powerful backing whatsoever.
The idea of someone developing their own power base is simply a pipe dream, so this blockhead has clearly set his sights on her.
Wang Hao remained silent, only smiling.
It's so comfortable talking to smart people; they understand everything immediately.
"They are willing to fully support your development, but what benefits do you intend to give Xian'er?"
After considering it in her mind, Nangong Xian'er felt that this was a good idea. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, as long as she followed this guy, she definitely wouldn't suffer any losses.
However, even close brothers should keep clear accounts; the benefits must be explained clearly beforehand.
This wasn't because she was greedy, but because if she wanted to gain the full support of the sect, she had to use benefits to sway the sect's higher-ups.
Otherwise, even if she becomes the sect leader of the Desire Dao in the future, she won't have the power to make the sect pay for nothing, so necessary benefits are indispensable.
" The Nine Character Secret!"
Wang Hao still had a smile on his face. He casually opened his Heavenly Eye his eyebrows, and a beam of mysterious light shot out and entered Nangong Xian'er's fair forehead.
" The Nine Secrets: Dou! Is this the true Formless Divine Art?"
After briefly glancing at the secret technique information that appeared in her mind, Nangong Xian'er's bright eyes widened in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
What appeared in her mind was a supreme secret technique, possessing the profound mystery of Simulation all kinds of offensive and defensive arts in the world.
According to the secret method, once you learn and master it, you can directly Simulation the attack techniques used by others after just one viewing. In the later stages of cultivation, you don't even need to see them in person; you can Simulation them simply by reading descriptions.
With her keen eyesight, she could see that this astonishing secret technique had many similarities to the Formless Divine Art, and could be considered to be of the same lineage, but it was infinitely more profound. It should be the complete version of the Formless Divine Art.
Although she had long guessed that the deadbeat possessed the complete version of the Formless Divine Art, which would undoubtedly be far superior to the incomplete version, she never imagined that the difference between the complete and incomplete versions would be so vast.
It's a world of difference!
"Wait, wasn't it supposed to be the Nine Character Secret? How come there's only the ' Nine Secrets: Dou? And it's not even complete!"
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes shifted, and Nangong Xian'er glared at Wang Hao again, her cheeks puffed out in anger.
She was carefully browsing through the Nine Secrets: Dou), but it suddenly stopped halfway through, leaving her feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"You don't have a fever!"
Reaching out to touch Nangong Xian'er's delicate forehead, Wang Hao said irritably, "Have you ever seen a business that pays in full upfront? This is just a deposit. The subsequent secret techniques and other secret arts will depend on your investment."
Of course, he wouldn't hand over all the Nine Secrets: Dou and Nine Character Secret to this girl. Firstly, because the Six Primordial Evil Daos were all Devil Dao sects, far less trustworthy than righteous sects, and double-crossing was a common occurrence.
If he were to foolishly hand over the complete Nine Character Secret to this girl, he was 100% certain that the Desire Dao and the Six Great Evil Paths of Antiquity would never invest in him.
After all, Devil Dao sects are more focused on interests than righteous sects; only by offering sufficient benefits can they motivate others to work for them.
Secondly, he doesn't have the complete Nine Character Secret yet; even the Nine Secrets: Dou is only a basic chapter.
That's right, the Nine Character Secret he concocted was a rip-off of the famous Nine Secrets technique from another of Dong Ge's novels, Shrouding the Heavens *.
Of course, this is merely a copy of the Nine Secrets setting; its true essence is irrelevant, since he doesn't know the real Nine Secrets, and the Tomb of the Gods World is clearly unrelated to the Shrouding the Heavens World.
If he wants to create the Nine Character Secret in this world, he can only rely on copying it bit by bit.
Unfortunately, to perfectly fit the rules of this world, he must build upon the foundation of this world's heritage. His accumulation in previous dungeon worlds can only serve as a hidden foundation to assist him.
In other words, to create the complete Nine Character Secret, he would need to refer to a large number of unique and inherited techniques from this world, which is an extremely demanding requirement.
The Nine Character Secret of that basic chapter was deduced by him by combining the more than two hundred sixth-grade martial arts manuals given to him by Nangong Xian'er over the past six months, as well as the martial arts displayed by the participants in the competition.
Moreover, relying solely on the profound knowledge of the Human Realm is far from sufficient to fully deduce the secret of the Nine Secrets: Dou. After all, the apparent limit of the Human Realm is only the Peak Sixth Tier, and there are very few profound knowledge inheritances that exceed the sixth rank.
Even if such techniques exist, they would only reach the seventh rank at most. Higher-level cultivation techniques are mostly found in the Immortal Realm and the Western Divine Realm.
However, the cultivation techniques available in the Human Realm are sufficient for the time being, since his initial plan was only to develop within the Human Realm.
However, compared to its own growth rate, the development speed of its subordinate forces is bound to be much slower.
By the time his forces have truly grown to the limit that the Human Realm can accommodate, he may have already reached a Heaven-Defying Level level in this world.
It wouldn't be difficult for someone with such heaven -Heaven-Defying Level combat power to sweep across the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm. Then, wouldn't they have access to high-level cultivation techniques?
Of course, that's all for the future. Right now, the most important thing is to completely fool Nangong Xian'er.
