“You’re too arrogant!”
At this moment, someone amidst the crowd yelled, standing up.
Qin Jingshuo said coldly: “Besides making us despise you, what else can you accomplish this way?”
“Heh heh!”
Wei Dong chuckled lightly, “So what if you despise me, call me arrogant? What are you going to do about it?”
“If you dare, fight me!”
Watching the ongoing verbal warfare between the duo, Little Hawk King turned his gaze to someone beside him, “Do you think he could win?”
Yao Zijie shook his head, “It’s tough, he may be older than us, but I heard his level of cultivation only reached thirty percent. He’s not much stronger than our sneakily high-ranking Sun Wufan…”
“That guy really is annoying!”
Little Hawk King snarled angrily, “If Du Gang hadn’t advanced to the Third Tribulation, he would surely be able to put him in his place right now!”
He believed so firmly; it was trust built up over many years.
“Yeah, If Du Gang hadn’t advanced…”
At this moment, Wei Dong turned to look in their direction, “Are you talking about Du Gang advancing to the God Spirit Level of the Second Tribulation?!”
He knew nothing about Du Gang. The Wei Family had declined and had lost the means to learn about the power of other forces.
The reason he was here was because the hero’s gathering hosted by Yan Ruyu had gained wide attention, so he decided to come.
“Heh heh, Du Gang is already at the God Spirit Level of the Third Tribulation!”

Wei Dong disregarded the comment, simply considering Du Gang to be a well-established star amongst the prominent.
He looked at Qin Jingshuo with cold eyes and scoffed: “Is verbal jousting all you’re good at? Show some courage, and fight me!”
Qin Jingshuo retorted angrily, “You’re only at the First Tribulation cultivation level. You’re merely commanding the scene. If your cultivation level is higher, there are many people who can stop you…”
The Ancient City’s people who were present at that moment were all filled with righteous anger, “Is there really no one amongst us who can defeat him?”
Those with slightly superior cultivation levels seethed, “Wei Dong, if you were a six Tribulation, I would kill you!”
Not only them, some other three or four Tribulation individuals of the Ancient City were also quite displeased.
There was no solution. The only challenges that Wei Dong had agreed to take on were those from First Tribulation God Spirit Level cultivators. If any challenger belonged to another level, it would damage the prestige of the Ancient City.
Even if they won, they would not escape ridicule!
Wei Dong smiled lightly, “What’s the use of saying all this? I say I am destined to become the Supreme…”
“Furthermore, when I reach your level, won’t the result be the same?”
“You talk nonsense!”
A few strong individuals at the God Spirit Level of the Six Tribulation angrily retorted, “I’ll wait for you at the Sixth Tribulation, I want to see how you’ll make me admit defeat!”
But now, no matter what they said, it could not prove that they could really defeat Wei Dong at the same level.
Considering this, the Six Tribulation God Spirit became a bit irritable, “Don’t the First Tribulation God Spirits have anyone more powerful?” freewёbnoνel.com
“There is, Zhu Qing, He’s very powerful. He once gathered forces to counterattack the Big Dragon Pit…”
Someone who had experienced the recent Big Dragon Pit battle spoke up.
Quickly, someone else shook their head and interjected, “Zhu Qing is not one of us from Ancient City. He is just active in the Abyss of Ancient City…”
“Ha ha ha!”
Wei Dong laughed heartily, loudly commenting, “Looks like you guys from the Ancient City can’t handle much. First Tribulation… there’s no one who can make me fight all-out…”
In the part of the sky invisible to the spectators, a palace remained concealed. At this moment, an old man was there, looking down with Yao Zixuan.
“Master, do I really not need to go down and teach him a lesson?”
It was rare for Yao Zixuan to show anger, and there was a sense of eager anticipation.
The old man was her master, the Elder of the Yao Family!
He shook his head and chuckled, “There’s no need. Your paths lie even further in the future. Having someone ahead could also be spurring them on, maybe they’ll move faster…
Yao Zixuan grumbled, “But won’t this hurt the reputation of our Ancient City…”
“Heh heh!”
The Elder of Yao Family laughed, “The reputation of the Ancient City is upheld by us old folks. Being at the God Spirit Level doesn’t really mean much. What you should be fighting for is the future!”
In his eyes, the disputes at the God Spirit Level were extremely low-level. More so, since the dispute taking place below was just at the First Tribulation God Spirit Level.
Yao Zixuan frowned, “Master, with Wei Dong controlling all the resources of the Wei Family, aren’t we just going to stand by and do nothing?”
She tried to change the approach, checking if she could adopt a different strategy.
The Elder of Yao Family laughed, “The Wei Family’s resources are carried as a burden on Wei Dong, he is bearing the karma of the whole Wei Family, it’s not easy for others to intervene…”
“Furthermore, it’s not like he’s the only one of the Wei Family who survived…”
“Eh?”
Yao Zixuan asked curiously, “Master, are there other members of the Wei Family still alive? Didn’t you say that they were all annihilated?”
The Elder of Yao Family shook his head, “Initially, I also thought the Wei Family was wiped out. But no matter how I calculated, the numbers didn’t add up…
“Fifty paths to Heaven, forty-nine are chaos, and one is humanity’s retreat… I began to wonder, could there be members of the Wei Family who were alive?”
“So, I calculated based on this possibility, and indeed there were still Wei Family members alive…”
The Elder of Yao Family sighed, “That’s the mysterious motive of Heavenly Dao. It seems like Wei Dong has made a huge move, killing all the Wei Family members, but in the outside world, a Wei Family descendant still lingers…”
Prefaced by a pause, his gaze landed on Du Gang who was on the ground, “Just like Du Gang, he exists due to some kind of karma…”
Yao Zixuan seemed to be deep in thought, she took some time before she finally spoke, “Master, you mean, that surviving Wei Family member will have some type of karma with Wei Dong and Du Gang, and it involves the Ancient Demons?”
“More or less so, although, between them, it might be a matter of life and death!”
When Wei Dong saw that no one came forward to challenge him even after he taunted them once again, he headed towards the central area.
Looking at his retreating figure, Little Hawk King and the others were left speechless for a long time.
Even after the surrounding spectators had dispersed, they remained rooted to the spot.
Eventually, Du Gang emerged from the bustling crowd and came before them.
“Are you guys okay? You can’t be defeated just like that, right?!”
Seeing that everyone was looking grim, he tried to lighten up the mood.
After hearing his words, Little Hawk King sighed.
Calming his voice, he spoke again, “This time, it was really a blow to our pride. One tribulation…”
He didn’t continue. Like Long Aotian, they felt that they had too many reasons, all of which turned out to be excuses.
Little Hawk King shook his head, looking at Du Gang, he said, “I have to go back. This time, I have to cultivate well…”
Not just him, the others also felt the same.
They were too young.
So young that they had never left the Ancient City and had been spending most of their time in the universe since their birth.
In that universe, they had always been the cream of the crop, and this gave them a sense of natural superiority, as if they could be just as superior here.
Now, Wei Dong had utterly shattered their illusion.
“Artifacts are part of one’s strength after all!”
Yao Zijie sighed, also bidding Du Gang farewell.
Seeing everyone planning to go home, Du Gang frowned, “Aren’t you guys going to the central area to check on Yan Ruyu?”
Previously, they were so desperate, as if they couldn’t live without marrying Yan Ruyu. Why are they so indifferent now?
Little Hawk King laughed, “Our master is vying for this woman, how can I compete with him now?”
“Yes, without reaching the God Spirit Nine Tribulation level, how can we compete for a woman?”
Hearing this, Du Gang said nothing, it sounded like they were thugs.
However, he did understand.
Indeed!
This time, they were not the main characters!
Wei Dong was indeed formidable, invincible among those in the First Tribulation Level of God Spirit, but even he had failed to make a stir.
Du Gang has clearly understood this now.
“This banquet, it’s actually has nothing much to do with us!”
Previously, he thought he could compete with God Spirits at the Nine Tribulations level. But now it seems that he may only compete with the average ones, for if he encounters the powerful ones, he could die without knowing how.
He’s still so young!
At this moment, on his left, the figures of Little Hawk King and others gradually receded.
While on his right, they were all rushing towards Yan Ruyu, heading to the central area.
Du Gang looked to the right, smiled, and turned and walked to the left.
This banquet has nothing to do with him!
“Are you leaving now?!”
In the Military Affairs Department, Xiang Xinjian was blowing on a cup of tea while asking.
Du Gang nodded, “Yes, the world is so big, I want to see it…”
“Not going back to the Ancient City?”
“I won’t go back, there’s a first avatar in the Ancient City, and a second avatar in the abyss. I’m just a third avatar now, so even if I die in the outside world, I can still resurrect…”
Xiang Xinjian laughed. “Alright, you can go then, after leaving, no one will protect you anymore, be careful!”
Du Gang nodded, and then bent down to bow deeply to Xiang Xinjian, “Teacher, thank you for your protection all this time…”
He had known for a long time that Xiang Xinjian had been protecting him secretly, so this bow was genuine!
“Enough, enough, don’t do these unnecessary things, I’m just following the family’s rules!”
After saying goodbye to Xiang Xinjian, Du Gang found a quiet room and began to think about his next move.
Although he said he wanted to go on an adventure, he wouldn’t do it without any preparation.
“Where should I go…”
Du Gang held the map and began to hesitate.
“I’m at the Third Tribulation level now, so I should primarily focus on cultivation, right?”
To enhance his cultivation, he needed some adventures. There were some places that could enhance cultivation at the God Spirit stage, but all of them were exceedingly dangerous without exception.
“Dragon cave secret realm… forget it. It’s too risky.”
Du Gang read that even the True God would perish inside if they were careless, so he gave up the idea of going there.
“It’s my first time traveling. I need to be cautious. I should select somewhere with higher safety…”
He looked around and quickly picked one.
“Lost Ancient Town, danger level: two stars, minimal advised cultivation level: God Spirits of the Sixth Tribulation…”
“This Lost Ancient Town is not bad!”
Du Gang glanced at the manuscript given by his family and he was grateful. It was indeed dependable coming from a big family; there were always places to go for adventuring.
With this in mind, he continued to check the details about the Lost Ancient Town.
“The Lost Ancient Town, a place where you can travel to a world outside this continent, a place filled with endless illusions…”
The description on the manuscript was baffling to Du Gang.
“Well, anyway, this Lost Ancient Town is a two star difficulty forbidden place with quite a few things that can advance my cultivation, there should be no problem…”
“My destination is set to this place!”
After the decision, Du Gang didn’t have much to pack up. He assembled a hat that could cover his head and went toward the direction of the Lost Ancient Town.
Ancient city ancestor land.
In a place only accessible to the elders of various families, a faint voice suddenly sounded.
“Are we really going to let him go there?”
“It’s his destiny!”
“Will this later…”
“Will we be alive then?”
“I understand…”
The voices came and went quickly, and the ancestral land soon fell silent again.
After disguising himself, Du Gang left the depths of the Ancient City without attracting anyone’s attention.
“I have such good luck!”
Du Gang was playing with a gray token in his hand. “Thank god I was talkative and asked about it, or I would be caught off guard when I arrived there!”
This token had the character ‘God’ on one side and a ghost-like picture similar to a map on the other.
Previously, when he was looking at the Lost Ancient Town, he found that he needed a special token to enter. These tokens usually appear randomly on the continent and are very hard to find.
At first, he intended to find it himself. But when he was leaving, he casually asked Xiang Xinjian and found out that the Ancient City actually had one, so he brazenly asked for it.
After leaving South Yue Region, Du Gang headed south to the place where he could enter the Lost Ancient Town.
The Lost Ancient Town was very peculiar. It was not on this continent, nor was it in a fixed location. To enter, one must use the token in certain specific locations.
Moreover, these specific locations are not fixed either, they appear on the back of the token.
Now he was finding the entrance based on the information on the back of the token.
“Moonlight, Beiyin Valley…”
Du Gang compared the surrounding environment while heading toward the destination.
Not long after, he found the location drawn on the back of the token.
“First, wash the token with your own blood…”
Du Gang shook his head, “What a strange procedure!”
Nevertheless, he did as the instructions demanded, casually cut a gash on his arm, and the golden blood quickly coated the token.
In a moment, the entire gray token glowed with a golden light.
“Next, use your divine spirit to cover the token, while outputting divine thought…”
Just as Du Gang’s divine spirit was covering the token, the character ‘God’ on it suddenly floated out and flew towards his divine spirit.
“What’s happening?”
Looking at the word ‘God’, Du Gang subconsciously wanted to retreat, but remembering that this was the teleportation point to the Lost Ancient Town, he halted.
So, the word ‘God’ immediately adhered to Du Gang’s divine spirit.
