I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Han Zhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Luckily, his response was swift enough; otherwise, Bai Shang, the Third Senior Sister, would have seen right through all the T seeds.

At that point, it wouldn’t just be a social death,

but might very likely result in a beating to death by Master Jiang Ziya, then hung at the entrance of the Ancestral Temple.

”Come in,” Bai Shang listened for a while longer, and once she was certain that Han Zhan’s mind was filled with numbers and strange symbols she couldn’t understand, she completely abandoned the idea of listening in and invited the two of them in.

”Every disciple newly entering our Ancestral Temple comes here first.”

”Actually, they’re not here to pay respects to us, but to them.”

As Bai Shang spoke, she stepped aside.

Han Zhan thus caught sight of the scene inside the grass hut.

It was a lotus floating mid-air, and this lotus had a total of nine unopened buds, each one in an unbloomed state.

Surrounding it, sacred radiance was scattered, making it appear incredibly mystical, unlike any ordinary item.

”Is this what you just referred to as the ’[Magic Gate]’?”

”Indeed,” Chang Hao nodded, ”this is one of the four Supreme Treasures held by the master, the ’[Magic Gate]’.”

A Supreme Treasure, it seems slightly similar to authority... Han Zhan thought to himself.

Chang Hao continued speaking, ”Go ahead, Ji Fa. Approach it, and if your compatibility with the ’[Magic Gate]’ is high enough, it will respond.”

The degree of compatibility is related to the number of lotus blooms from the ’[Magic Gate]’. When I touched it, six lotus flowers blossomed.

When Third Senior Sister first touched the ’[Magic Gate]’, seven lotus flowers blossomed.

Chang Hao gained insight into the Yanshi Puppetry Skill from the ’[Magic Gate]’, while Bai Shang learned the Telepathy Skill from it.

It seems the higher the level of compatibility, the stronger the skill comprehended.

Of course, Chang Hao would never admit this.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t say, ”The doctrine has no strength or weakness, strength and weakness lie in people’s perceptions.”

However, even if strength and weakness lie in people’s perceptions, somehow...

Han Zhan’s thoughts were interrupted by Chang Hao’s next words.

”Because Third Senior Sister has the highest compatibility with the ’[Magic Gate]’, the master entrusted her to guard and understand it.”

”Additionally, the Telepathy Skill offers the chance to ’hear’ the heart’s voice of the Celestial Gods; it’s an extremely powerful skill and highly valued by the master.”

Chang Hao’s two sentences explained why the ’[Magic Gate]’ was entrusted to Third Senior Sister Bai Shang and the real significance of the Telepathy Skill.

Han Zhan slightly nodded.

By this time, Third Senior Sister Bai Shang had already walked up to the ’[Magic Gate]’.

Her slender hand slightly raised, and the lotus floated into her hand, then she offered it to Han Zhan.

”Try it and see how much compatibility you have with the Path of Technique.”

Without hesitation, Han Zhan reached towards the lotus, his fingertip lightly touching the petals.

The cold touch gave Han Zhan goosebumps all over.

But soon, the scene before him grabbed everyone’s attention.

The lotus representing the ’[Magic Gate]’ began to bloom from the first bud!

One bloom, two blooms, three blooms.

The refreshing fragrance of the flowers filled the air.

Four blooms, five blooms, six blooms.

When the ’[Magic Gate]’ lotus bloomed to the sixth flower, Chang Hao’s face turned excited, and Bai Shang’s expression began growing serious.

They kept their eyes fixed on the next bud.

Seven blooms!

When the seventh lotus flower bloomed, it meant that Han Zhan could comprehend a skill no weaker than Telepathy from the ’[Magic Gate]’!

But it was not over yet.

Eight blooms!

As the eighth lotus flower bloomed, Chang Hao clenched his fists excitedly, and Bai Shang couldn’t hide her shock.

With an unprecedented eight lotus blooms, the level of compatibility makes it unimaginable what powerful skill could be comprehended from the ’[Magic Gate]’!

Just as Chang Hao was about to speak and shower Han Zhan with praise, he suddenly widened his eyes, as if witnessing something unbelievable.

Not only him, but Bai Shang’s reaction was identical to his.

Because the lotus representing the ’[Magic Gate]’ had bloomed the ninth flower!

All nine lotus flowers blossomed simultaneously.

The fragrance instantly filled the entire grass hut.

The strange aroma made every pore in one’s body relax, as if cheering and rejoicing, greedily absorbing.

This meant Han Zhan and the ’[Magic Gate]’ were one hundred percent fully compatible!

Unprecedented, monumental.

”Now I’m willing to believe that when you used the Qi Observation Skill to see him, you could see thousands of strands of Life Energy,” Bai Shang murmured, her ruby lips slightly parted.

Han Zhan was unaware of Chang Hao and Bai Shang’s reactions at this moment, as he had been completely taken by the ’[Magic Gate]’ to another ”world”.

He saw a conceptual existence of the Path of Technique.

On this Path, there were countless skills, all fully open to him. As long as he was willing, he could learn, assimilate, and grasp them.

Without stopping his steps, Han Zhan followed his intuition forward, always forward.

Then, at the end of the Path of Technique, he saw a familiar, blurry silhouette—it was Nuwa!

She did not speak, just turned slightly as if sensing something, then looked at him with a smile.

And then, she gently pointed towards Han Zhan’s position.

...

”I want to discuss the Path with him,” Bai Shang suddenly said firmly as she watched Han Zhan enter the state of enlightenment within the grass hut.

After speaking, she suddenly turned to Chang Hao beside her, ”Just a moment ago, you were all high and mighty; now you’ve been slapped in the face, hahahaha?”

Chang Hao’s face stiffened.

This was why he didn’t want to chat with Third Senior Sister Bai Shang.

Suddenly, they again stopped their conversation, simultaneously looking up towards the grass hut.

What they saw was a blurry divine shadow appearing above the nine blossomed lotus flowers.

The owner of that shadow seemed to surpass even Celestial Gods, with a majestic aura like an abyss or sea, leaving no thought of resistance, inciting only a desire to worship.

”That’s... Nuwa!” Chang Hao rubbed his eyes forcefully, ensuring he wasn’t mistaken.

He had seen Nuwa’s portrait before.

The blurred shadow appearing above the Nine Lotus was unmistakably Nuwa!

Nuwa, the ’[Magic Gate]’, the Path of Technique.

When all these pieces connected together, the answer was clear.

Bai Shang suddenly exhaled deeply as if deflated, releasing a deep breath.

”I don’t have the qualification to discuss the Path with him,” Bai Shang said with an easy smile, not annoyed.

Just as her words fell, Han Zhan awoke from his state of enlightenment, and Chang Hao moved over in first instance, his tone of concern filled with curiosity as he inquired:

”So, what fantastic technique have you comprehended from the ’[Magic Gate]’? I’m very curious!”

Han Zhan glanced down at his own hands, then recalled the finger raised by Lady Nvwa’s shadow at the end of the Path of Technique.

He spoke, word by word:

”The technique I comprehended is—”

”Creation Skill!”
