146: The most valuable treasure in ancient times!

A night of romantic peach blossom rain.

A hundred pear trees fell, like snow on the cold river.

This night was destined to be a wonderful one, with the intertwining of lovers, a tale not for outsiders to know.

At 11 AM the next morning, neither of them had gotten out of bed.

It wasn't until Grandpa Hua impatiently urged, "How much longer are you two going to sleep? Come see me at once!"

"Get up!"

"Hurry up!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Fan and Hua Xia arrived at Grandpa Hua's room.

Hua Xia's face was flushed with embarrassment as she followed behind Zhang Fan, not daring to look at Grandpa Hua.

Hua Xia was mortified to be discovered by her Grandpa Hua while sleeping with her boyfriend.

"Now you're embarrassed? What were you doing last night?"

Hua Yunzhang looked displeased, feeling as if his prized cabbage had been trampled by a pig. His gaze towards Zhang Fan was filled with a desire to stab him.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan quickly greeted him, "Grandpa Hua, good morning!"

"Forget it!"

Grandpa Hua waved his hand, "My granddaughter is grown, she'll get married eventually!"

"Let's talk about business!"

Hua Yunzhang straightened his expression and looked at Zhang Fan, "You must have entered some ruins these past few days, right?"

"Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to!"

There are many ruins on Earth, and the situations inside them vary.

Some are willing to be public, while others don't want their secrets revealed.

Hua Yunzhang understood all of this; if it couldn't be spoken of, he wouldn't force it!

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said!"

Zhang Fan nodded, "Grandpa Hua, my disappearance this time was indeed due to entering a prehistoric ruin!"

Hua Yunzhang nodded slightly, and Hua Xia was no longer shy, staring at Zhang Fan.

"What kind of ruins were they? Do you know their name?"

Hua Yunzhang pressed on.

"It's called Fuxi Shrine, also known as Nüwa Temple!" Zhang Fan said.

Before coming out, he had asked Mao Du if he could reveal the existence of the shrine.

Mao Du's reply was this:

"Fuxi Shrine is an extremely magnificent shrine; it can be as vast as the stars, or as tiny as an atom; it can appear in the world, or hide in the void!"

"If Fuxi Shrine is hidden, others simply cannot find it!"

In other words.

Even if outsiders know about the existence of Fuxi Shrine, it's meaningless!

Because they simply can't find it!

Only those who pass the three trials and are recognized by Fuxi Shrine are qualified to enter Fuxi Shrine!

But even then, it's only entering; the specific location remains unknown!

"Fuxi Shrine!!!"

Hua Yunzhang stood up abruptly, staring at Zhang Fan in disbelief, "You actually entered the legendary Fuxi Shrine?"

Zhang Fan was surprised, "Grandpa Hua, you know about Fuxi Shrine?"

"More than just know!"

Hua Yunzhang looked envious, "I've explored many prehistoric ruins and learned about the existence of Fuxi Shrine from them!"

"For all these years, I've been searching for this legendary shrine!"

"It's just a pity!"

Hua Yunzhang sighed, "This shrine is too mysterious; after many years of searching, I've found nothing!"

"Who would have thought!"

Hua Yunzhang said sourly, "You, young man, inexplicably entered Fuxi Shrine; you really got lucky!"

"Is this Fuxi Shrine that amazing? Even Grandpa Hua couldn't find it?" Hua Xia was very surprised.

"Yes!"

Hua Yunzhang nodded, "Fuxi Shrine is known as the greatest treasure of ancient times. It is said that those who can enter it and come out alive eventually achieve extraordinary things!"

"Fuxi was the first person to come out of the shrine alive!"

"He therefore unified the many tribes of Chinese civilization, becoming the first person to achieve the great unification of Chinese civilization!"

"After Fuxi came Nüwa. Nüwa established a matriarchal society that lasted for over three thousand years!"

"After Fuxi and Nüwa, came Shennong and Huangdi!"

"These two eventually became the great ancestors of Chinese civilization!"

"It can be said! Those who ultimately walked out of Fuxi Shrine alive all achieved extraordinary accomplishments!"

"And accomplishments are often built upon strength!"

"Fuxi, Nüwa, Shennong, and Huangdi were all the undisputed strongest individuals of their respective eras!"

Hua Xia was stunned, "This Fuxi Shrine is actually that powerful!"

At this point, Hua Xia looked at Zhang Fan, "Since you walked out of Fuxi Shrine alive, doesn't that mean you will also become someone like Fuxi and Nüwa in the future!"

"This..."

Zhang Fan scratched his head, "It's still too early to say that!"

"You're right!"

Hua Xia nodded slightly, "In any case, your accidental entry into Fuxi Shrine must have brought you a considerable opportunity, right?"

"Accidental entry? I don't think so!"

Hua Yunzhang shook his head and said, "This young man disappeared suddenly. My guess is that he didn't accidentally enter at all!"

"Instead, he was chosen by Fuxi Shrine and actively pulled in!"

"Not accidental entry?" Hua Xia was startled.

Zhang Fan was also stunned.

Chosen and actively pulled in? He hadn't thought of that, but on second thought, it was indeed possible!

That day, he had just killed the Black Scaled Old 蛟 when the ground suddenly split open.

He was then swallowed!

By all appearances, it didn't seem like an accidental entry, but rather an active capture!

"Fuxi Shrine chose Zhang Fan?" Hua Xia couldn't help but ask.

"Nine times out of ten!"

Hua Yunzhang nodded slightly, "This Fuxi Shrine is known as the number one treasure of ancient times; countless deities and heavenly gods have been searching for its whereabouts!"

"It's just a pity that Fuxi Shrine is incredibly secretive and simply cannot be found!"

"Only when it opens each time can one enter it!"

"But its opening has no discernible pattern; it opens whenever it wishes!"

"If it hasn't opened, outsiders simply cannot enter it!"

"So I speculate that behind Fuxi Shrine, there is someone controlling it, or perhaps an intelligence controlling it!"

"Based on this speculation!"

Hua Yunzhang looked at Zhang Fan, "This young man was most likely chosen by Fuxi Shrine, and then it took him in!"

Zhang Fan's talent was indeed excellent; even Hua Yunzhang couldn't help but invest in him, so it was actually reasonable for him to be chosen by Fuxi Shrine!

"Fuxi Shrine chose Zhang Fan?" Hua Xia's mouth dropped open.

"That's not important!"

Hua Yunzhang waved his hand, "Xiao Fan, tell me, what did you experience in Fuxi Shrine?"

Zhang Fan didn't hide anything, recounting everything that happened after he entered Fuxi Shrine in detail.

When she heard about the third trial, where Zhang Fan faced the constantly doubling Porcupine Lions, Hua Xia broke out in a cold sweat.

"From the initial 1, it kept doubling to a final 130,000!"

Hua Xia's face turned pale, "How did you manage to endure it?"

Just 130,000 Porcupine Lions at the Core Formation Realm were enough to make one's scalp tingle, let alone the previous 17 waves!

"Divine Tree Juice!"

Zhang Fan felt a lingering fear even thinking about it, "If it weren't for the Divine Tree Juice, I wouldn't have been able to endure it!"

"Divine Tree Juice is indeed a good thing!" Hua Yunzhang nodded, "And then what? What did you encounter?"

Zhang Fan then described in detail what happened after he entered the shrine.

"The first layer of the shrine is actually a complete world!" Hua Xia exclaimed.

Hua Yunzhang wasn't surprised at all. He nodded and said, "It's pretty much as recorded in the ancient texts about the ruins!"

"Grandpa Hua, you seem to know a lot about Fuxi Shrine?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"More or less!"

Hua Yunzhang explained, "For many years, I've been investigating it!"

"So, naturally, I know a bit more about Fuxi Shrine!"

At this point, Hua Yunzhang looked envious, his tone a bit sour, "You, young man, have truly become rich!"

Zhang Fan smiled sheepishly.

Hua Yunzhang sighed, "Ancient texts record that Fuxi Shrine has nine layers, and each layer is a complete world!"

"Each world layer has rare treasures like the Jianmu tree planted within it!"

"In addition to that!"

"The time, gravity, environment, weather, climate, terrain, and so on, of the nine worlds can all be changed!"

"The owner of the shrine can choose a cultivation environment suitable for themselves according to their own wishes, and cultivate there!"

"In other words, Fuxi Shrine is a perfect cultivation holy land!"

"Cultivating there, even a pig could become a divine pig!"
