Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

"There is good news, big news, I would like to invite you to join us!" Qin Tian said sincerely.

"What is it?" Duan De asked in confusion. "Fellow Daoist, as one of the Eight Forbidden Prodigies, you have the bearing of an Emperor. Why do you need the help of a poor and uneducated Daoist like me?"

Qin Tian waved his hand and said, "Ah, that's not right. Everyone has their own expertise. Although I have high combat power, I am not as good as professionals in certain things."

Qin Tian leaned closer and whispered, "I found information about the Nine Secrets on Wang Teng."

"I'd like to invite you, fellow Daoist, to join me in exploring this place!"

Duan De raised an eyebrow: "But... Fellow Daoist, why are you looking for me?"

"We've only met twice?" Duan De asked, puzzled and even wary.

Qin Tian smiled confidently: "Although you've been hiding it well, I can tell at a glance that you are definitely a top talent in archaeology!"

"And finding the Nine Secrets requires a professional."

Qin Tian patted his chest, then patted Duan De's shoulder, and said, "With my combat strength, plus your skills!"

"One person, one school, nine secrets—no problem!"

"We will grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories!"

Duan De's eyes welled with tears as he gripped Qin Tian's hands tightly, his voice trembling as he said, "My soulmate!"

These past few years, he's had a really bad run of luck, being hunted down everywhere.

Who has time to rob tombs!

He'd been itching to get started for years.

Not long ago, unable to resist the urge, I went and robbed the tomb of a holy lord of Yaoguang.

In the end, he got nothing and was even chased all the way.

Now, someone is actually inviting him to go treasure hunting. They've only met twice, yet they're willing to share such important information as the Nine Secrets with him. If it were him, he wouldn't share it unless he swindled hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Origin.

Most importantly, his talent in archaeology was immediately apparent.

This is truly a soulmate!

Duan De choked up and said, "You're a good person!"

Qin Tian gave an awkward smile and touched his nose: "That's what I think too!"

He wasn't that thick-skinned after all, and after Duan De said that, he actually felt a little guilty.

Duan De probably doesn't know that all the suffering he has endured so far has been caused by Qin Tian.

They're all taking the blame for Qin Tian.

"Let bygones be bygones, we should look forward," Qin Tian advised meaningfully.

"Yes, look ahead!" Duan De nodded heavily.

After the initial感动 (moved feeling), Duan De regained his composure and inevitably began to consider whether or not to take advantage of someone he knew.

Watching Qin Tian's retreating figure, Duan De felt a surge of desire. Exploiting acquaintances was his instinct, something he couldn't shake!

Duan De thought to himself, "This young friend seems to be on the wanted list of the Yao Guang Holy Land. Should I make an acquaintance and get some information?"

"No, we can't reveal this yet. We need to maximize our profits." Duan De shook his head inwardly: "This young friend has the potential to become an emperor. He just defeated an eighth-level forbidden expert and then used the power of an array to kill three great powers."

"That Heavenly Venerable Wuliang, the Yaoguang Holy Land will definitely raise the bounty again." Duan De rubbed his hands excitedly.

"It won't be much less than my bounty."

Duan De's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Bah, that's not something I, Daoist, would do!"

"I, Daoist, have no reward either!"

Duan De couldn't help but curse inwardly when he thought about all the bad luck he had suffered over the years: "Damn it, it's all that brat's fault for stealing my Devouring Demon Cover!"

"You'd better not let Dao Ye catch you, or I'll make you pay." Duan De finished cursing, then looked at Qin Tian's back, secretly pleased: "Once the Yao Guang Holy Land raises the bounty, I'll go and sell him out again, hehe, perfect!"

Qin Tian glanced at Duan De, even though he didn't have mind-reading abilities.

But judging from Duan De's smug look, and the way he kept glancing at me, it was quite a sight.

That's exactly like the Black Emperor! No need to guess, he's planning to take advantage of someone he knows!

"That's good, now I won't have any psychological burden!" Qin Tian murmured to himself.

He separated a paper figure, and after the two had walked away, the paper figure turned into a real person and wandered the streets.

Once Qin Tian himself gives the order, and we obtain the Nine Secrets and the Creation, it will be Qin Tian's turn to discard us after we've served our purpose.

The paper figure would immediately rush back to Yaoguang Stone Workshop, take Duan De's position, and exchange it for a bounty.

Although he no longer needs the source now that he is worth millions, it is not a matter of whether or not he has the source, but a gift from his most respected teacher, which he could not refuse.

Let's see who has the better methods!

"My dear teacher!" Qin Tian murmured to himself.

Qin Tian and Duan De exchanged a glance and both smiled broadly, but there was something slightly off about those smiles.

There's a strange, eerie feeling about it.

It sends chills down your spine.

Requesting monthly votes, recommendations, and favorites.

Chapter 130 Duan De's Birthplace (Refreshed), Ninety-Nine Heavens

After finalizing their cooperation with Duan De, the two parted ways again to prepare.

Duan De said that he had been out of the underworld for many years, and now that he was making a comeback, he needed to prepare some props for his work.

Qin Tian didn't quite agree with this. He felt that Duan De had been hunted down for too long, and most of his tools were probably used to evade capture.

Qin Tian also needed to explain some things.

Qin Tian approached the Black Emperor again, by which time the Black Emperor's legs and feet had fully recovered.

"Black Emperor, what are you doing!" Qin Tian said in a kind and gentle voice, with a smile as warm as a spring breeze.

But the Black Emperor reacted violently, clutching his legs as if he had seen a peerless demon, and asked in a trembling voice, "Y-you, what do you want to do!"

Qin Tian shrugged, quite satisfied with the Black Emperor's reaction, and said, "Black Emperor! Go to the Purple Mansion Holy Land and investigate the situation first."

"Find the innate Dao embryo."

That's all the Black Emperor is good for. Rather than letting him go around scamming people, it's better to get him to work sooner.

This is a good thing for the BeiDou community and for the people who use BeiDou.

"Good!" Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor was no longer sleepy. The Black Emperor had always been very concerned about the issue of the Great Emperor Wushi's succession.

He immediately got out of bed and began to carve the Xuan Yutai.

Firstly, he genuinely cared about the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi, and secondly, the Black Emperor truly dared not stay with Qin Tian any longer, fearing that he would once again have his hands and feet cut off and be turned into dog meat hot pot.

Qin Tian glanced at Xuan Yutai, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled slightly, but said nothing.

"Whoosh!"

After quickly completing the inscription on the Jade Platform, the Black Emperor stepped onto it to activate it, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I hope the Black Emperor will still be alive when we meet again!" Qin Tian shook his head.

Black King was nervous just now and acted unreliably again, but fortunately, there were no casualties this time, only Black King, the dog, was unlucky.

……

Not long after, Qin Tian and Duan De met again.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go!"

The Nine Secrets were located in Zhongzhou. The two used Qin Tian's Xuanyu Platform to traverse the void and travel through the endless darkness. They didn't know how much time had passed when light appeared before their eyes.

The scene before me was desolate, surrounded by towering stone forests and sheer cliffs. There was little green vegetation near the dried-up lake, but the surrounding mountains were teeming with life.

"This place is interesting!"

Qin Tian used his Origin Technique to observe the surrounding feng shui, but found that he couldn't understand it at his level. You should know that his cultivation in the way of mountains and rivers is comparable to that of a true Origin Master, a true saint.

Duan De gazed into the distance, looking up and down, occasionally squatting down to pick up a handful of sand and sniff it, displaying considerable professionalism.

“This place is strange, the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems to me…” he muttered.

"It feels like I've seen this place somewhere before, like I've been here before!"

Suddenly, Duan De felt inexplicably guilty. He recalled scenes from deep within his memory and compared them to this place. He looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"So this is the place!"

"No wonder it looked so familiar!"

"I didn't recognize the tree for a moment." Duan De's expression was strange. This place was connected to a top-level blessed land, no less than the Undying Mountain.

However, it is buried very, very deep, and even an emperor might not discover it.

He had been here before, or rather, he had walked out of here and set foot on the Big Dipper.

You were buried here in your previous life, and you will walk out of here in this life.

Duan De murmured to himself, "No, we can't let anyone find that source of creation."

"Taoist Master, have you found it yet?" Qin Tian asked.

After searching for a while, Qin Tian found the place to be quite complicated and strange.

In fact, if one were simply looking for the secret realm where the Nine Secrets are located, any Source Master who is proficient in Source Arts could find it.

But Qin Tian's skill level is too high.

He received the inheritance of Master Yuan and combined it with the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Origin, and has already forged his own path. At least in terms of formations and the overall situation, he has almost reached the same level as Master Yuan.

Thinking too much, even a king's mind can't predict a bronze-level player's predictions. Qin Tian discovered the clues about the Nine Secret Realms recorded in the information long ago.

But he always felt that there was something else here, and he thought that the place where the Nine Secrets were buried should not be so simple.

But coincidentally, this place does indeed hold other secrets.

Therefore, Qin Tian was very puzzled and asked Duan De.

After all, the person next to him is the ancestor of the Source Celestial Master, the Source Emperor!

"found it!"

"Found it!" Duan De shouted hurriedly, stopping Qin Tian from continuing the investigation.

"There is a real entrance to a small world here."

"There are also many false entrances, most of which were deliberately set up by the holders of the Nine Secrets to confuse us."

Qin Tian gave Duan De a deep look and exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being called the Great Virtue Daoist!"

"I only see traces of small worlds all around me, but I'm not sure if they're real or not."

Qin Tian's expression was somewhat strange as he said, "I didn't expect... the great way is truly simple! He actually laid out the small world containing the nine secrets right in front of us, as if he was afraid we wouldn't discover it!"

"Haha, yes, yes, the person who set up this secret realm is too cunning, with a rather wicked sense of humor!" Duan De said, feeling a little guilty, wiping away his cold sweat.

In fact, Qin Tian was not mistaken; all the so-called fake world entrances that Duan De mentioned were real.

This place was once an entrance to his place of rebirth, a first-class source of creation.

Ninety-nine small worlds, scattered like stars, are connected by void array patterns. Some of these small worlds are not even in the Big Dipper, but in the other side, drawing on the creation of a source of life and transmitting it to the Great Tomb through the void array patterns.

Now, most of these small worlds have collapsed, and he, who is "dead," has taken away most of their creation to nourish his physical body and accelerate the birth of the Reincarnation Seal.

After all, before a certain number of Reincarnation Seals are created, he still needs the creation of the external world to accelerate the birth of the Reincarnation Seals.

Kunlun in the past was like this, and so is the Ninety-Nine Heavens now.

Although Duan De didn't think Qin Tian could find his place of rebirth, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Duan De thought to himself, "It seems that at some point, the small world that Daoist Master set up in the past was occupied by someone and used as a place for inheritance."

Duan De has no memory of his past life.

All he knew was that he was a giant rice dumpling, crawling out of the ground, without father or mother, with no memory of his childhood, and when he became conscious, he was already in this state.

"The Beidou system is really small!" Duan De exclaimed.
