I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

The way to enter the Ancestral Temple, besides the underground passage to the Underworld suitable only for the Yanshi Puppet, there is another method.

Above the altar.

Jiang Ziya waved both hands simultaneously, and golden Profound Text appeared before them.

With his actions, the originally chaotic golden Profound Text began to arrange itself in order.

Gradually transforming into a huge golden Array, appearing beneath their feet.

In the next second, the scenery in front of Han Zhan changed, and he found himself in a new setting.

This place was the true location of the Ancestral Temple.

After successfully entering the temple, Master Jiang Ziya gave Han Zhan a palm-sized Eight Trigrams Token, with a symbol carved on the back that Han Zhan couldn’t understand.

Seemingly noticing Han Zhan’s confusion, Chang Hao took the initiative to speak:

"This is five, representing your fifth position in the sect, also as Master’s fifth disciple."

"With this Eight Trigrams Token, as long as you approach the altar, it can transport you inside the temple."

Han Zhan nodded lightly, indicating his understanding.

At this time, Jiang Ziya stepped forward, turning to Chang Hao and said:

"Night is about to fall, the Star Official Puppet is temporarily idle, Chang Hao, take your fifth junior to meet his senior brothers and sisters."

"After you’ve met everyone, come to the Ancestral Temple’s main hall to find me."

After finishing, he took another step forward, and his entire figure shattered into golden light, disappearing from sight.

Chang Hao looked at this scene with envy.

"Let’s go, fifth junior brother."

"Next, I’ll familiarize you with the temple and the other fellow senior brothers and sisters."

From their earlier meeting, it was clear that Chang Hao was quite talkative.

Possibly due to interacting mostly with puppets, lacking people to talk to, leaving him pent-up, so finding someone to chat with made him excited.

"Fifth junior brother, you know, I discovered you amidst the vast crowd using the Qi Observation Skill, you should thank me."

Chang Hao said proudly.

"Qi Observation Skill?"

"Yes, the Qi Observation Skill can observe the life within a person, the more Life Energy one has, the greater the chance to achieve remarkable feats in this world."

"Your Life Energy is unprecedented, even Master was moved to personally seek you, which shows how much he values you."

No wonder the temple inexplicably sought me; it turns out to be this way.

Chang Hao and Han Zhan continued talking as they walked.

"Don’t think Master neglects you by bringing you into the sect; this is a necessary process every disciple must go through in the temple."

"Why is that?" Han Zhan asked curiously.

Chang Hao extended four fingers, explaining to Han Zhan.

"Because Master needs to evaluate you and decide which path suits you based on your performance."

"In the temple, there are four different roads to choose from: Power, Skills, Skill, and Magic. Like the Yanshi Puppetry Skill I practice, is a type of Skill."

"The senior brothers and sisters you’ll meet next, each has their strengths in different Domains. After meeting them, come to the temple’s main hall, and Master will make the final choice."

Power, Skills, Skill, Magic?

These four concepts were not too unfamiliar to Han Zhan.

He just didn’t expect that the temple’s teachings contain four different great paths.

This is the advantage of having a heritage.

"Which does fourth senior brother think is the strongest among the four great paths?" Han Zhan posed a question.

He knew that given Chang Hao’s talkative nature, he would certainly offer his perspective.

Sure enough, Chang Hao quickly spoke:

"The great paths themselves have no strength or weakness; strength and weakness, I believe, are more about people. Because people have strength and weakness, the great paths have strength and weakness."

"However, regarding the peculiarities of these four great paths, I can give you some insights beforehand, so you can have a general judgment."

"Firstly, Power, as the name implies, refers to Power. Those who prove their way through Power must possess a strong and terrifying physique, using absolute martial power to defeat opponents. They often possess powerful Defense, Power, Speed, and reactions, like horrifying beasts."

"Then there’s Skills, those skilled in techniques are often clever; that is, highly skilled individuals, often have varied and ingenious means, defeating the strong with the weak is common. Skills can be Sword Skill, Knife Skill, Gun Skill, requiring strong insight and Talent."

"Next is Skill, skill users are often mysterious; mysterious Skill and mysterious Skill, the two are inseparable. Those who practice Skill often have unusual means, such as Yanshi Puppetry Skill, ghost control Skill, prophecy Skill, and so on."

"Finally, Magic, in my view, Magic is the most mysterious and requires the most Talent. Because it is elusive, there is no fixed description of it, profoundly mystical. But if one truly masters Magic, they will be very powerful!"

Chang Hao paused here.

Because as they talked and walked, they were already near the first destination.

It was an ordinary thatched cottage.

"In this cottage resides the third disciple under Master, who is also our third senior sister, Bai Shang."

"Among the four paths of Power, Skills, Skill, Magic, she chose Skill, like me. But her Skill... you will soon know."

Chang Hao seemed reluctant to elaborate.

This made Han Zhan a bit more curious.

When they arrived at the cottage, a graceful figure in plain white attire was already waiting for them.

"Third senior sister, I..." Chang Hao just started speaking, but Bai Shang interrupted.

"I know, he is the new disciple Master accepted, fifth junior brother, Ji Fa."

Bai Shang nodded to Han Zhan in greeting, then continued:

"Fourth junior, you should abandon this idea. Even if you make great contributions, Master would never entrust the Magic Gate to you for safekeeping."

Upon hearing Bai Shang’s words, Chang Hao’s face instantly changed dramatically.

"You, you, you!" Chang Hao repeated "you" three times, but couldn’t continue.

"Oh? With a thousand Life Energy destined to overshadow me, intending to use Ji Fa to best me?"

Bai Shang still looked calmly at Chang Hao, whose face turned ashen.

"I should’ve sent a puppet, and I should’ve..."

Chang Hao’s voice sounded ungrateful, "I was cautious and guarded, why couldn’t I guard the heart door, why!"

Bai Shang ignored the defensive Chang Hao, turning to Han Zhan, asking a question that almost caused him to lose his composure.

"You... what is black thread?"

"Your thoughts contain many terms I’ve never heard."

Bai Shang couldn’t describe it, but she felt that if she spoke those terms, it would make the atmosphere strange.

"Huh? You changed your thoughts? Indeed, compared to unrealistic heart door closure, this is a good method."

Yes.

Third senior sister Bai Shang’s ability in the path of Skill turned out to be Telepathy!
