315: Chapter 315 A Gift from the Creation Saint! The Poison Doctor and the Three-Flower Pupil

"Everything belongs to me now."

Gu Han utilized the Mysterious Armor Heaven-Peering Technique, approaching Saint Zaohua's skeletal remains using the most precise method. He did not alert any of the Puppets—or more accurately, the ancient dolls.

At the entrance of the ruins, there were Earth Demon Puppets with strength comparable to a Peak Dou Zong, serving as the first screening mechanism.

The existence of those Puppets was a warning to anyone wishing to enter the ruins: if you haven't reached Dou Zun, don't join the fray.

However, the ancient dolls in the main hall of the Dou Sheng ruins were different from those Earth Demon Puppets.

Saint Zaohua had used special methods to Seal the Souls of true experts within these Puppet bodies. They possessed a degree of sentience and inherited combat skills and experience; even Xiao Yan, upon reaching the level of a one-star Dou Zun, would be unable to subdue them.

If these ancient dolls gathered and formed a grand formation, they could contend even with a Peak Dou Zun.

Saint Zaohua did not intend to trap everyone who entered the ruins; he also wished to spread his Legacy.

Otherwise, with the strength of a Dou Sheng, it wouldn't have been excessive to leave behind means capable of stopping a Semi-Saint.

Gu Han had no intention of fighting his future enforcers, choosing instead the easiest approach.

Stepping in specific patterns according to the cardinal directions, he quickly arrived before Saint Zaohua's white jade skeleton without any mishaps.

"Senior, I know you still have one last wisp of Divine Thought remaining."

"You are titled Zaohua, and I excel in Yin and Yang. The Dao of Yin and Yang is the Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Dao of the Universe."

"Everything in the world exists within the Universe; all that is unheard of originates from Yin and Yang, originates from Chaos."

"Zaohua, Creation, is how the one produces the two, the two produce the three, and the three produce the myriad things."

"Entrust this space to me. In the future, I will have a Saint's Monument erected so that posterity will always remember you."

At this moment, Gu Han was alone in the main hall. He did not worry about the bloodbath triggered in the original timeline when Old Freak Zhaixing's blood touched the jade bones.

Within the jade bones resided a remnant Divine Thought from before Saint Zaohua's fall, which was also the core of his Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique Legacy.

Gu Han wanted more; he wanted the Origin core of the Dou Sheng ruins' space and to gain Saint Zaohua's recognition.

"Junior, you are quite remarkable. Even in the ancient era, you would be a first-rate Prodigy. At your age, I was far less exceptional than you. I believe in you."

"Remember your promise!"

After a long silence, a Divine Thought suddenly emanated from the jade bones, carrying those two sentences.

In the next instant, Gu Han felt a strange power surge into his Soul sea, hovering before his Heavenly Realm Soul.

This strange power was one of the core Origins of this Dou Sheng ruins. It was the method Saint Zaohua used to stabilize and control everything within the space after he created it.

It was clear that Saint Zaohua was indeed very satisfied with Gu Han, handing over control so decisively.

But Gu Han was not surprised; the Xuanwu Shell had already informed him of this through his daily Opportunities.

Saint Zaohua could also be called the Saint of Yin-Yang or the Saint of the Universe; he was one who practiced Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation.

Upon reaching the Dou Sheng level, Saint Zaohua's use of Yin-Yang power reached perfection, and he began attempting to create life.

The pill beast transformed from the nine-colored Pill Lightning Eighth Grade Pill was one of his experimental methods.

The Earth Demon Puppets at the entrance and these ancient Puppets in the main hall were another.

Saint Zaohua also deserved partial credit for the dragon phoenix origin fruit that grew after the royalty of the Void Ancient Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix clans perished here; his Small World was permeated with the creation of the Universe.

Gu Han possessed Yin-Yang and ice-attributes, mastered the Yin Yang Twin Flames, held the Yin-Yang Great Void Map, and most importantly, possessed the black tortoise armor fragment in his mind that dominated Yin-Yang power.

Never mind that Saint Zaohua had already fallen and only a single Divine Thought remained, leaving him with few choices; even if he were alive today and saw a Prodigy like Gu Han, he would be desperate to take him as a Disciple.

"Begin Fusion!"

Gu Han sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, refining the Secret Realm Origin given by Saint Zaohua while merging it into the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

The day he completely refined the Secret Realm Origin would be the day it fully integrated into the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

Time flew by like a white horse passing a crevice; two years vanished in the blink of an eye.

In the Southern Region of the Fighting Qi Continent's Central Plains, the Starfall Pavilion was decorated with lanterns and streamers today, even more festive than the New Year, with a constant stream of visitors.

The reason for the excitement was that three auspicious events had occurred at the Starfall Pavilion, and a celebration was underway.

The first event: Xiao Yan, the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, was celebrating his birthday today.

A birthday might not seem like much, but Xiao Yan had broken through to Dou Zong over a year ago, and just last month, he had condensed a Spirit Realm Soul and been promoted to a Grade 8 Alchemist.

A twenty-one-year-old Grade 8 Alchemist was truly worthy of being the personal Disciple of the continent's former number one Alchemist, Venerable Yao; his talent was indeed extraordinary.

The second event was to celebrate Xiao Yan's successful promotion to Grade 8 Alchemist and his successful refining of his first Eighth Grade Pill three days ago—a bone-growing blood-merging pill with three-colored Pill Lightning.

The final event, the third, was that Wind Venerable's personal Disciple, Mu Qingluan, had recently successfully broken through to Dou Zong.

Compared to her rivals of the same generation within the Four Pavilions—Feng Qing'er, Wang Chen, and Tang Ying—she was far ahead.

It was said that upon hearing this news, the Venerable of Wind and Lightning destroyed several mountains in the Wind Lightning Mountain Range, grumbling indignantly: "It's only because the Starfall Pavilion has a good Enshrined Elder."

These words weren't just sour grapes; anyone with any understanding of the Starfall Pavilion's Enshrined Elder, Gu Han, would strongly agree.

Although Gu Han had not appeared in the Central Plains for over two years, his presence was felt at every level and in every place.

Two years ago, the Grand Elder of the Burning Flame Valley used the valley's secret technique, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, to trade with Gu Han, with Tang Yue and Tang Huo'er acting as representatives.

In the end, Gu Han did not appear. Instead, the Starfall Pavilion's Young Pavilion Master, Xiao Yan, stepped in. Using a method Gu Han had left behind, he helped Tang Huo'er resolve the hidden danger of forcibly merging the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

Furthermore, Tang Yue obtained some unknown information and headed to a mountain range in the Western Region of Central Plains. When she reappeared over a year later, she was already a Dou Zun Expert, and the Burning Flame Valley's prestige and power surged.

A year and a half ago, the Ice River Valley's Valley Master, Ice Venerable, suddenly appeared in the ancient town of the Central Plains' northeast wilderness. He led his subordinates in an attack against a mysterious female Dou Zun, but ultimately returned empty-handed, reportedly suffering heavy injuries.

Later, an organization in the intelligence business revealed that this mysterious female Dou Zun was named Xiao Yi Xian. Her strength had reached the level of a two-star Peak Dou Zun. Like Gu Han and Xiao Yan, she hailed from the Jia Ma Empire in the Northwest Continent. She possessed the legendary Calamity Poison Body and was one of Gu Han's Dao Companions.

With Gu Han's help, Xiao Yi Xian had used an unknown method to resolve the dangers of the Calamity Poison Body and had also successfully refined the Netherworld Poison Flame. Ice Venerable had targeted her because he possessed an Acquired Calamity Poison Body and wanted to use Xiao Yi Xian's Physique to perfect his own.

When this news spread, the Central Plains was in an uproar. No one expected that in addition to Yun Yun, Gu Han had another Dao Companion at the Dou Zun level who was under twenty years old and possessed the Calamity Poison Body.

Just as everyone was finally calming down, another piece of news spread from the Beast Region.

The source of this news was once again related to another of Gu Han's Dao Companions, who claimed to be merely a "maid."
