Chapter 3527 The Treasure of the True God
For Ren Yisheng and others, Zhang Xuezhou's awakening this time was no different from before.

Like a person awakening from a deep sleep, Zhang Xuezhou seemed very natural when he regained consciousness, and no one else showed the same abnormal emotions as Huang Daoxian.

But as Huang Daoxian and Zhang Xuezhou's expressions changed slightly, everyone knew that Zhang Xuezhou's awakening this time was indeed different.

"Do you know where those Void Gold pieces are?"

Huang Daoxian was extremely wise, and Zhang Xuezhou was a little worried that Huang Daoxian was trying to cheat him.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Huang Daoxian had most likely sensed the Void Heaven Palace.

He glanced at Ren Anran nearby, and seeing that Ren Anran was in good health, he fixed his gaze on Huang Daoxian.

"Knowing is useless. Your Void Gold is now a single entity after being marked, and I can't take it even if I want to," Huang Daoxian said dejectedly. "Don't deliberately show off and annoy me. I'm already furious!"

If his path hadn't been blocked by so many people, and if it weren't uncertain whether they would make a move, Huang Daoxian felt he would have been lying on the ground, dejected.

Huang Daoxian was afraid of suffering with Zhang Xuezhou. He wanted Zhang Xuezhou to have a good life, but he couldn't stand Zhang Xuezhou living too well.

"Mark it?"

Zhang Xuezhou let out a breath.

Only now did he understand why Hongjun had schemed against the Void Heaven Palace but hadn't taken it away.

Although Zhang Xuezhou did not know how to use the Void Heaven Palace, Houtu's mark was placed on him.

He questioned Huang Daoxian several times and learned that the characteristics of Void Gold were somewhat like a storage bag; only the marked person could use it, and if the mark was not released, others who obtained the storage bag would not be able to open it.

The master of the Void Heaven Palace is undoubtedly Houtu, while Zhang Xuezhou is the user who was marked.

He even guessed why he was poisoned by fire. At the time, Zhang Xuezhou thought he was affected by Houtu's laws, which caused his body to become poisoned. Now he thought it was very likely a way of marking him.

If he were truly a half-human, half-snake creature, he might benefit from this mark, but since his true form is human, it is highly likely that this is the reason he caused the poisoning.

"If I had a palace made of void gold..."

"It can't be 'what if,' you really do have a golden palace in the void. Which heavenly deity is blind? Hiccup~"

Zhang Xuezhou made a hypothetical description, but before he could finish speaking, Huang Daoxian began to vomit blood.

Huang Daoxian's envy, jealousy, and hatred were not just empty words; he was truly unable to accept the current situation and was so angry that he vomited blood.

"It's better to be a little ignorant!"

Zhang Hao sighed.

Apart from Huang Daoxian, everyone else remained calm. This was partly because no one had any knowledge of Void Gold, and partly because no one had done the same thing before.

Huang Daoxian's experience is no less than Zhang Hao's, and his past contacts are even wider than Zhang Hao's. He was once among the top cultivators.

Half a month ago, Huang Daoxian enthusiastically took out his trump card, four pieces of Void Gold. Half a month later, Zhang Xuezhou returned with a grand hall made of Void Gold. This was something Huang Daoxian found hard to accept.

Listening quietly to the back-and-forth exchange between the two sides, Zhang Hao finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Where is that palace?" Zhang Hao asked with interest. "Is there anything special about it?"

"I can't produce it right now," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head. "I circled around in there when I traveled through the void, and I still don't know what's so special about it, nor do I know how to use this kind of treasure!"

"He's still pretending... He's still pretending!" Huang Daoxian spat out a mouthful of dog blood, his eyes turning bloodshot from the intensity of his emotions.

The time was not too long, only a little over three hundred years, and Huang Daoxian felt that he had once again suffered a violent blow to his mental balance.

In the past, he could only watch others ascend to higher dimensions and break through the void, thus ending up as a loser in a dismal way. Now, his situation is similar.

Void Gold cannot compare to obtaining the origin of the world, but what Zhang Xuezhou obtained was not just a piece or two of Void Gold, but a massive palace built of Void Gold.

With the origin of the world already obtained by someone, a void palace is undoubtedly the most top-tier resource, without exception.

Compared to the palace crafted from Void Gold, even a Dao-proving treasure like the Wind and Thunder Blade appeared dull and lackluster.

"As I said before, if a cultivator has a large amount of Void Gold to forge treasures, he/she can be fearless against dimensional ascendants and even have the strength to fight them!"

Huang Daoxian was panting heavily, and his bloodshot eyes still had not regained their original color.

Whatever he said came true; Zhang Xuezhou's luck was so extraordinary that Huang Daoxian could hardly accept it.

He could accept that Zhang Xuezhou possessed the Crimson Gold Wings, that Zhang Xuezhou obtained the Wind and Thunder Blade and the Five-Colored Divine Stone, and that Zhang Xuezhou was the master of the Second Heavenly Sinkhole. Huang Daoxian had a very high degree of acceptance of everything Zhang Xuezhou possessed, but he found it difficult to accept the present.

This is something Zhang Xuezhou shouldn't be able to possess at the moment. Even many high-dimensional gods don't have such a treasure, and Zhang Xuezhou acquired it far too quickly.

"The true gods of the vast world are immortal and live forever. Which true god fell and allowed you to find such a treasure of the void that has been forged into a palace?"

Huang Daoxian raised his head.

Like some dying people who want to know the truth before they die, Huang Daoxian hoped that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't lie to him. If he had said a few more words, he wouldn't be so angry.

"Do you know Houtu?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Houtu?"

Huang Daoxian frowned.

Zhang Xuezhou mentioned the name, but he truly did not know it. After all, the regions of the higher-dimensional world were too vast, making information transmission difficult. Furthermore, each region had sealed off relevant information, causing the beings within that region to believe that the deity in their region was the strongest.

For example, the region where Xuanming resides is the only god, and the people all believe that Xuanming is the strongest god and worship Xuanming's supreme rule.

However, Huang Dao was well aware that Xuanming was not the strongest, and that the strength of other gods such as Meng Zhang was similar to his.

Huang Daoxian's understanding was fixed in the Xuanming region, and he really didn't know who Houtu was.

However, Huang Daoxian judged that Xuanming could not produce a palace made of Void Gold, and his strength was likely inferior to that of Houtu, whom Zhang Xuezhou had mentioned.

Where is Hongjun?

When Zhang Xuezhou asked again, Huang Daoxian's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Huang Daoxian used to be quite proud of his broader social circle, even surpassing Zhang Hao and others. However, Huang Daoxian discovered that Zhang Xuezhou's knowledge was unknowingly surpassing his own, and he had even come into contact with beings that were difficult for him to reach.

"What?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously, "You've never heard of it?"

"You've stumped me. I've never heard of these two true gods," Huang Daoxian said dejectedly. "If you want to know anything about such beings, you might need to ask Xuanming!"

"The Goddess Houtu?"

Huang Daoxian knew nothing when asked, but Zhang Hao was intrigued and learned the origin of the treasure Zhang Xuezhou had obtained.
