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

Moreover, as the first being to compile the five great secret realms and attain enlightenment, the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation Crossing can be considered the second patriarch, so it's not shameful to take him as your master.

No wonder Patriarch Bodhi forbade Sun Wukong from revealing his name.

Dealing with a disciple like that would break even an old man's bones.

"Master! I've accepted your apprenticeship gift, so I'll keep your return gift myself!"

With a thought, Qin Tian summoned his paper doll avatar, which was far away in the Divine City. Feigning a panicked expression, the avatar rushed into the Yao Guang Stone Workshop and shouted, "I've found Duan De on the wanted poster!"

Whether it's from the source or not doesn't matter; the main thing is that Qin Tian wants to trick Duan De once.

This time it was different from the previous times. In the previous times, the two of them didn't know each other, so the tricks always felt a little off.

This time is different; this time it's a case of exploiting acquaintances.

Let him experience firsthand what it feels like to be taken advantage of by someone he knows.

Qin Tian is not fighting alone. Behind him stand all the beings who have been harmed by Duan De throughout countless lifetimes!

Is he exploiting acquaintances, eliminating a scourge for the people, acting on behalf of Heaven, avenging those who were wronged by Duan De in the past, and venting his grievances?

Thinking about it this way, Qin Tian felt as if he had been given a glorious mission, and his back straightened up immediately.

Where is Duan De?

Qin Tian's paper figure replied, "In Zhongzhou!"

The newly arrived Elder Yaoguang was overjoyed: "No wonder we couldn't find him anywhere in the Eastern Wilderness. It turns out he ran off to the Central Plains!"

"Gather your troops! Everyone in the Divine City, follow me to the Central Plains!"

The powerful Yao Guang ordered, "That guy surnamed Duan is as slippery as an eel, he runs incredibly fast. We need to stop him quickly to prevent him from escaping again."

.........

On the other side, Duan De was carefully studying the ancient tree, but he couldn't figure it out.

Duan De looked up and asked, "Disciple! Are you sure this is a treasure that houses the secret of the Qian character?"

"I'm not sure!" Qin Tian said, feigning nonchalance. "However, this ancient tree is the only one here that seems to be a vessel for the Nine Secrets."

Duan De made a rare misjudgment: "Hmph, this piece of wood is definitely not the thing that harbors the secret of the previous character."

"If the Nine Secrets were so easy to find, would they still be considered the Nine Secrets?!"

Duan De trusted his intuition about tomb raiding.

His intuition told him that this piece of ancient wood was nothing precious, more like a piece of rotten wood that he had casually thrown away than the Nine Secrets.

Duan De firmly believed: "It will take countless hardships to find the Nine Secrets!"

"This small world is so vast, and we have only explored one place. We cannot easily conclude that this is the Nine Secrets."

Duan Dedao said, "The Nine Secrets must be hidden somewhere else."

"Alright, take your time looking!" Qin Tian shrugged and took the ancient wood back.

"Oh, right, this is my experience in tomb raiding—no, I mean, archaeology." Duan De handed Qin Tian a book: "You study this first, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he ran away in a flash!

Qin Tian didn't chase after it. The most valuable treasure was already in his hands. As for the rest, he could just let nature take its course.

Compared to Duan De's painstaking search, Qin Tian had more faith in his own luck (his ahoge).

With nothing to do, Qin Tian began to peruse the books Duan De had handed him. The more he read, the stranger his expression became. The tomb raiding knowledge recorded in the books seemed so familiar!

Today I have a recommendation: a 10,000-word update.

Requesting monthly votes, recommendations, and favorites.

Chapter 133 Qin Tian: "Thank you, Master, for the Heavenly Venerable Blood" (24)

The handwriting on the book was very familiar, almost identical to that on the previous book on the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

After Nirvana, although his memories were erased and his body was severed, some instinctive habits remained unchanged, such as grave robbing and his handwriting and writing habits.

Qin Tian began to peruse Duan De's Tomb Raider Notes. This was not just a tomb raider's note, but also a book recording the principles of various terrains. It was in line with the Origin Book and could be said to have gained a lot by comparing and studying it with the Origin Book.

Qin Tian closed the book, somewhat surprised, and said, "It's somewhat similar to the tomb raiding techniques recorded in the Devouring Heaven Demon Art!"

"It is said that the tomb raiding techniques in the Devouring Heaven Demon Art were summarized by later generations, but even a summary needs a model to learn from!" Qin Tian said thoughtfully, "It's just like that, to avoid mentioning the Venerable One's faults."

"The Devouring Heaven Holy Land can't just say that the Ruthless Great Emperor went around robbing tombs, can it? They can only make their own 'summaries'."

Of the ten thousand different physiques, it's impossible for them all to be new, and the Golden Age couldn't possibly give birth to ten thousand geniuses with special physiques.

Many of them were corpses, since there was no such efficient method of utilizing one's origin as the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in the past.

The bodies of many powerful figures have been preserved.

Therefore, the Ruthless Great Emperor was able to gather ten thousand different constitutions in one lifetime.

Judging from this, the Ruthless Great Emperor's tomb raiding skills are among the best in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

However, he has retired from the business and left the scene many years ago.

"Tomb raiding has become Duan De's instinct. Even if he loses his cultivation and his memories, once he comes into contact with a large tomb, these memories will quickly resurface, making Duan De a first-class tomb raider."

Qin Tian patted the book: "So this book is both Duan De's tomb raiding book and the Underworld Emperor's tomb raiding notes."

"Could it be that Duan De and the Ruthless Emperor once lived together?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" Qin Tian frowned. "The Ruthless Great Emperor has only lived for a little over two hundred thousand years since this life. That's not enough time for Duan De to live another life!"

"Could it be that the Ruthless Great Emperor once obtained the scriptures from Duan De's previous life?"

Qin Tian seemed to be thinking: "Perhaps..."

Not only the tomb raiding techniques, but even the scriptures have a similar feel to them.

One school emphasizes transcending tribulations, using the physical body as a raft to cross the endless sea of ​​suffering, reincarnating life after life.

One approach emphasizes transcendence, encompassing all things within oneself, considering oneself as the embryo of demons, one's true nature as the embryo of gods, and demonic nature as the tribulation of the divine nature. Ultimately, one transcends the tribulation, and the embryo of gods transcends.

The Undying Heavenly Art and the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art do have a similar charm. Even if the Ruthless Great Emperor did not learn the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art, he must have drawn inspiration from it.

Qin Tian stroked his chin: "But then again, the style of the Ruthless Great Emperor is more like that of the Feathered Great Emperor."

Qin Tian said thoughtfully, "That's normal. After all, the Feathered Divine Dynasty is the enemy of the Ruthless Great Emperor. Only by studying the enemy's secret techniques and learning the enemy's scriptures can we find the enemy's weaknesses and thus better target them."

"In this process, the Dao of the Ruthless Great Emperor inevitably took on a trace of the Ascension Great Emperor's influence."

The Flying Immortal Technique and the profound meaning of the Feathered King Body are too similar. Breaking through the old body and releasing attacks that surpass the self are clearly an upgraded version of the Feathered King Body.

"So, the Ruthless Great Emperor didn't kill the Feathered Great Emperor, and this bond of kinship is one of the reasons." Qin Tian smiled. "Moreover, the Ruthless Great Emperor didn't make the Feathered Great Emperor imprison himself on Feathered Star."

"It's purely the Feathered Emperor scaring himself."

"However, the deterrent power of a Mortal Immortal is indeed not to be underestimated, especially a Mortal Immortal like the Ruthless Great Emperor, who has the strongest killing power and the purest killing intent among the Three Heavenly Emperors!"

……

Meanwhile, Duan De was still busy searching for the "Nine Secrets" in the small world.

Qin Tian, ​​on the other hand, was exceptionally leisurely, strolling around the small world. He could pick up treasures with just a few steps, such as the Nine Heavens Divine Jade, which was readily available.

They even found a tattered imperial scripture, none other than Duan De's Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Technique, though it was very incomplete, consisting of only one scroll of the Sea of ​​Wheels.

Qin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Has my luck become stronger again?"

"After becoming the disciple of the Second Ancestor, my status with the First Ancestor also rose accordingly!"

"No longer a believer, but a junior disciple!"

Qin Tian thought of the Emperor: "In addition, I also have a senior brother who established the Heavenly Court."

"Although the Heavenly Court has great karma, it also has great fortune."

Qin Tian said, "Ye Fan's Heavenly Court has ruled the universe for 700,000 years, and he was able to collect nine kinds of immortal metals to forge the Emperor Cauldron."

"You should know that the weight of one cauldron is enough to forge three or four imperial weapons." Qin Tian was extremely envious. The divine trace purple gold he obtained was not even enough to forge a single cauldron.

"The fact that the Heavenly Court was able to find so many celestial gold materials is enough to demonstrate the profound fortune of the Heavenly Court."

At this moment, Qin Tian, ​​having gathered the remaining traces of fortune from his First Ancestor, Second Master, and Third Senior Brother from the Ancient Heavenly Court, can already be considered a Child of Destiny.

As for why Master No. 2 himself had such bad luck, it was probably because he dug up too many graves, which damaged his karma and consequently made him unlucky.

Anyway, Duan De's misfortune has nothing to do with Qin Tian.

At this moment, Paper Qin Tian, ​​leading a large group of people from the Yao Guang Holy Land, was on his way on horseback.

Suddenly, Duan De crawled out of the ground, looked around, and said, "I feel like something's not quite right."

"I have a bad feeling about this," Duan De muttered to himself.

"What amazing divine sense!" Qin Tian had been paying attention to Duan De and naturally heard Duan De's mutterings, so he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, the paper figure Qin Tian had already surrounded the area with the Yao Guang army.

Unexpectedly, even though they were in different worlds, Duan De was able to sense that something was wrong.

The Celestial Venerable's Nirvana is truly extraordinary; his intuition is almost on par with Qin Tian's luck.

……

"kill!"

"Capture Duan De and set him on fire!"

Sensing something was amiss, Duan De was about to check the external surveillance footage.

The next moment, the warning devices set up outside were activated, and the enemy was less than a hundred miles away from the secret realm.

The traces of the Origin Heaven Array patterns they set up in the outside world are still visible; in other words, this secret realm is easy to discover.

"No way, Daoist Master has already run all the way to Zhongzhou, how could they still find out?!" Duan De sensed the identity of the newcomer and felt extremely uneasy.

"Ahem, my disciple!" Duan De pretended to ignore what was happening: "Your master should be going!"

Qin Tian also pretended not to know anything: "They're leaving already? We haven't found the 'Nine Secrets' yet!"

"It's already in your hands!" After searching for some time, Duan De realized that the ancient wood in Qin Tian's possession was the most suitable carrier for the Nine Secrets.

"My disciple, you can continue your search here in peace. There are still many treasures left here. I suddenly remembered that I have something to attend to at home, so I'll take my leave first!" Duan De took out an artifact and tore through the void.

"Remember to divide it in half, half of it!"

Duan De's voice echoed from the void.

Watching Duan De's departing figure, Qin Tian chuckled, "A teacher is indeed a teacher, truly a hidden master!"

Qin Tian sensed that the Yao Guang army was outside the secret realm.

This guy is trying to leave himself here as bait!

However, the current situation was all orchestrated by Qin Tian, ​​so how could he possibly let him have his way?

"Alright, Master, we'll meet again someday!"

Qin Tian smiled and waved his hand. He also needed a reason to separate from Duan De, after all, as his disciple, he couldn't just stand by and watch him die!

But if he wasn't present, and this absence was something Duan De himself orchestrated.

Then... you can't blame the disciple!

……

Duan De had barely returned to Beidou when he was betrayed by Qin Tian.

The paper figure Qin Tian suddenly pointed in the direction Duan De had left and said, "Duan De is over there!"

"Chase!"

At his command, a group of pursuers surged up behind Duan De.

"That familiar feeling!"

"Here we go again!" Duan De cried out in despair.

The pursuers behind him kept coming, and he knew it all too well; he'd been doing it this way for the past three years.

In this life, Duan De is definitely the most skilled at escaping among all nine reincarnations.

If he attains enlightenment in the future and creates another secret technique, it will be no less impressive than the Xingzi Secret Technique of the Carefree Celestial Venerable.
