System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Just as Zhang Hao was about to surface, a dazzling light suddenly shone into his eyes.

This thing must be extraordinary to emit such a dazzling yellow light underwater.

Zhang Hao turned around and went back to the bottom of the hot spring, finding the spot that had emitted the light earlier.

He pushed aside the surrounding fools, and a bronze mirror the size of a palm appeared before him.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding! Rare item Flying Star Mirror detected.]

"It's actually the Flying Star Mirror!"

This ancient mirror has a significant history and a great reputation.

It is one of the Eight Mirrors of Qin Shi Huang. Back then, Qin Shi Huang used it to observe celestial phenomena in order to understand the changes in the weather.

There are even rumors that one can predict the future by observing the stars through this mirror, which is why it holds an extremely important position in ancient Feng Shui.

Such a precious mirror actually appeared on the way to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top. What kind of powerful treasures would be in that Heavenly Palace? Even Zhang Hao began to look forward to it.

Zhang Hao dug the ancient mirror out of the mud and sand with his hands, and then gave the system the following command:

"System, fuse with the Flying Star Mirror!"

[Ding, congratulations host, 97th fusion completed. Fusion item: Flying Star Mirror.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing with the Flying Star Mirror and gaining the item trait: Stargazing.]

As the system notification sounded again, a massive flow of information flooded into Zhang Hao's mind. It was a vast and exquisite body of knowledge about celestial phenomena, surpassing any celestial techniques he had ever known before.

These celestial phenomena are like codes in the universe, and different arrangements and combinations foreshadow various possibilities for the future of all things in the world.

Zhang Hao was filled with excitement. If he weren't underground, he would have been eager to use his newly acquired "star-gazing" ability to glimpse the secrets of the heavens.

[Ding! The rare item Flying Star Mirror has been fused, increasing the Qilin bloodline evolution progress by 10 points.]

By fusing with a rare item, not only did his bloodline evolution progress increase, but the experience of the All Things Fusion System also increased by 10 points. Zhang Hao opened the attribute panel to check the attributes.

万物融合系统经验已经到了7级（50/80）只要再融合3件稀有物品就可以提升到8级，距离10级已经非常接近。

The Qilin bloodline has already advanced to level 7 (672/960) and will soon advance to level 8. It is very close to unlocking the bloodline transformation ability at level 9.

After completing all this, Zhang Hao realized that time had passed underwater, and there must be a lot of anxiety on the shore.

He pushed off with both feet, his body shooting out like an arrow, breaking through the water's surface with unstoppable force, leaving behind a spray of sparkling water.

Upon returning to shore, a crowd swarmed around them, their concern evident in their words.

“Brother Zhang Hao, it took you so long to get up here. We thought something had happened to you. Tianzhen was about to cry. Yi Sa and Ding Yudie wanted to go into the water to look for you, even though the water in the hot spring was as hot as boiling water.”

Zhang Hao glanced at Yi Sa and Ding Yudie and noticed that their feet were wet and their hands had burn marks.

He was very pleased to see this; these were all his people, and they were absolutely sincere to him.

With such loyal subordinates, there are many things that can be entrusted to them with confidence.

"Uncle, it's so good that you're alright."

Wu Tianzhen said, her voice trembling with tears.

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "You have no idea how capable your uncle is, so what's there to worry about!"

"That's true, with your uncle being so capable, there's nothing that can stump you!"

At this moment, Fourth Uncle, who had been preparing to escape, and his two surviving subordinates also came over.

"Young man from the Zhang family, I never expected you to be this powerful. You killed such a large centipede with a single punch."

To be honest, although I didn't have any bad intentions towards you at first, I would definitely choose to sacrifice you without hesitation when there is a conflict of interest.

I'm so glad that you weren't near me when I was in danger, otherwise this old man wouldn't have had the chance to talk to you here.

Don't worry, I will never dare to harbor any ill intentions towards you again.

Fourth Uncle was quite frank and spoke his mind.

Zhang Hao understood that if he hadn't been so strong that he had intimidated him, he wouldn't have said any of this, and he wouldn't have hesitated to push him out to take the damage when they were in danger.

The reason for this change is simply to intimidate their current strength.

Zhang Hao has always firmly believed that only by becoming strong can one truly succeed.

This is also the reason why he has been constantly integrating and improving his strength.

……

After Zhang Hao killed the centipede king, the centipedes around the hot spring dispersed.

Zhang Hao and his group then bypassed the hot spring and continued on their way.

Behind the hot spring was another narrow drainage path. They crawled into the path and reached its end in just over ten minutes, arriving at a cliff.

"boom!"

Fourth Master's men fired a flare down the cliff, instantly illuminating most of the sky.

What they found themselves in was actually a huge volcanic crater surrounded by cliffs, with large, ancient palaces faintly visible in the distance.

"Could this be the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds?"

"The legendary Heavenly Palace on the Clouds was actually built inside a volcano!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

If the Lu Palace, where the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress is located, and the giant bronze sacred tree in the Qinling Mountains are considered miracles, then this magnificent cloud-top palace is undoubtedly a divine miracle.

Through continuous exploration, it has now been confirmed that the Heavenly Palace has a three-layered structure.

The temples on the ground, the imperial tombs below, and the underground mausoleums together constitute the three thousand worlds.

It symbolizes the three identities of the Eastern Xia King: human, ghost, and god.

The group descended to the bottom of the cliff and entered the crater. Before them was a straight sacred path, flanked by giant statues of strange birds.

Zhang Hao and the others followed behind Fourth Grandfather along the sacred path, traveling several hundred meters to the foot of a memorial archway.

"Look, don't those corpses on the Heavenly Gate look familiar!"

The fat man pointed to the corpse hanging in mid-air and said.

Zhang Hao recognized them at a glance; these clothes were exactly the same as those worn by the mercenaries in A Ning's group.

However, Ah Ning and the others did not have the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, nor did they have a route map. How did they manage to reach a higher altitude under these circumstances?

Regardless of how they got here, since Aning and the others were able to arrive early, doesn't that mean the other team also arrived early?

The fat man frowned as he looked at the corpse hanging on the Heavenly Gate and said:

"Fourth Grandfather, didn't you swear that other forces couldn't have found this place beforehand? What do you say now?"
