Chapter 3496: Chapter 3496: It Seems This Truly Is Heaven’s Will (Second Update)
Lan Ying smiled and said, "Originally, this was considered an unspoken secret of our Refining God Peak, but since you saved Shuhui, telling you is no big deal, the matter dates back ten thousand years..."
It turns out that the founder of Refining God Peak was named Lan Shaoyuan, and the Divine Masters throughout the generations have been from the Lan Family.
Once, Refining God Peak was an extremely powerful force throughout the Outer Realm, even during its peak period, it was once poised to ascend to the Heavenly Human Domain!
At that time, Refining God Peak was known as the highest peak in the Outer Realm, incomparable to the current Divine Peak...
It’s said that this Divine Peak in the Star Swirl Domain was merely a stone from the true Refining God Peak...
But later, due to an incident, Refining God Peak faced the crisis of sect destruction, and the highest peak in the Outer Realm completely collapsed!
Even though some Daoist traditions were barely preserved, it came at a tremendous cost, and the once glorious Refining God Peak fell to become a minor force in the Star Swirl Domain...
Refining God Peak no longer has its former splendor, and the Lan Family’s status in Refining God Peak has plummeted.
At this moment, there was a family named Song in the Star Swirl Domain, who joined Refining God Peak under the guise of helping it through tough times, but in reality, they aimed to gain the Daoist traditions and even the entire sect power!
Afterward, the Lan Family was completely suppressed by the Song Family, and the Divine Masters since then were no longer surnamed Lan, but Song!
But, even though the Song Family became the Divine Masters of Refining God Peak, they weren’t from Lan Shaoyuan’s bloodline, so some things were only known by the Lan Family!
Among them was the secret of Lan Shaoyuan’s rise back in the day!
Lan Ying’s eyes flashed, her expression somewhat complex as she said, "Back then, everyone only knew that my ancestor Lan Shaoyuan was the founder of Refining God Peak, an unparalleled strongman, but no one knew he had another identity, that of one of the Six Evil—Refining God!"
Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Six Evil? Refining God? What’s that?"
Lan Ying said, "In the ancient times, an ancient existence of unknown origin appeared in the Outer Realm, known as the Fiend. This Fiend was sealed by the joint efforts of the strongmen in the Outer Realm, but when the Fiend was sealed, six items known as Evil Artifacts were spread in the Outer Realm.
Each Evil Artifact is a mysterious Supreme Treasure that surpasses Emperor Artifacts!
The martial artist recognized by these six Evil Artifacts as their master was called the Six Evil; people used the names of these six Evil Artifacts as the code names for these six people!
The six were, Refining God Evil, Spirit Transforming Evil, Jue Ming Sha, Extreme Yin Evil, Soul Chasing Evil, and Wu You Sha.
The Six Evil got the Evil Artifacts and all gained immense power, and they all shared a common goal in their hearts: to liberate the sealed Fiend! Only then could they gain even more heaven-defying strength!
For this purpose, the Six Evil stirred up a bloody storm throughout the Outer Realm; for a time, everyone in the Outer Realm was horrified at the mention of the Six Evil!"
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Lan Ying’s hand, revealing a broken sword that looked extremely similar to the Slaughter Sword Ye Chen possessed!
Furthermore, even though it was broken, after countless years, the broken sword still emitted intense spiritual pressure!
She sighed and said, "This broken sword is the ’Refining God,’ but it broke during the great calamity back then—not only Refining God Peak, but the condition of the Six Evil was pretty much the same; there are no intact Evil Artifacts in the Outer Realm now...
Except for the Slaughter Sword in your hand!"
Lan Ying suddenly said excitedly, "Legend has it, the Fiend didn’t create six but seven Evil Artifacts; the seventh Evil Artifact was called Soul-devouring! It was also the strongest! Ye Chen, the Slaughter Sword you hold should be the Soul-devouring, right?"
Ye Chen nodded, not concealing the fact that Lan Ying understood Evil Artifacts far better than himself, so there was no point in hiding anything.
Lan Ying smiled and said, "In that case, this Tian Sha Order might come in handy."
Ye Chen asked curiously, "Tian Sha Order?"
Lan Ying took out a token, which was carved in an ancient and simple style, emitting a peculiar aura.
"Though all six Evil Artifacts were destroyed, back in the day, the Six Evil created six Tian Sha Orders, it’s said that the Fiend back then was sealed in a place called Juesha Heaven, and the Tian Sha Order is the key to entering Juesha Heaven!"
"When our Lan Family ancestor obtained the Tian Sha Order, he had no time to enter Juesha Heaven before Refining God Peak nearly faced destruction during the calamity, the Evil Artifacts were destroyed, and this idea was extinguished—apparently, there’s a destined path, Ye Chen, if you want this Tian Sha Order, you can take it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was delighted, for if the seal on the Slaughter Sword could be fully lifted, his strength would greatly increase!
This time in Refining God Peak, he managed to turn the tides in one way because of the Blood Night, and on the other hand, because the Heavenly Dao Six Saints had gathered all the aid of Refining God Peak onto himself.
This aid is absent in the Divine Kingdom and other places of the Outer Realm; he cannot replicate the heaven-defying battle today.
Enhancing the Slaughter Sword would be useful when facing the Outer Realm Demon Emperor and Xuanyuan Moxie!
Immediately, he took the Tian Sha Order and thanked Lan Ying, "Thank you for your support, Senior."
Lan Ying smiled gently and looked at Jin Shuhui beside her, saying, "You saved this child, it is me who should thank you. Though Shuhui is only my disciple, I’ve treated her like a daughter since I’ve had no offspring in my life—and as you grow stronger, it benefits both Shuhui and Refining God Peak, doesn’t it?"
Jin Shuhui blushed and exclaimed softly, "Master!"
Clearly, Lan Ying had tied Jin Shuhui and Ye Chen together.
Just as Ye Chen was about to inquire in detail about Juesha Heaven, the Tian Sha Order in his hand suddenly burst out with a wave of gray light!
A low, hoarse male voice sounded from the Tian Sha Order, "I am Jue Ming, one of the Six Evil. Three days from now will be the time when the seal of Juesha Heaven is at its weakest over the millennium, also the best chance for us Six Evil inheritors to rescue the Fiend!
We Six Evil have been dormant for tens of thousands of years, waiting for this opportunity, now, we should gather again to fulfill our mission! We ask the Six Evil inheritors receiving this message to head to Juming Island in the Star Swirl Domain!"
In the grand hall, Ye Chen and the other two were stunned on hearing this!
Suddenly, Lan Ying and Jin Shuhui both looked at Ye Chen with strange expressions...
This Tian Sha Order had just been handed to Ye Chen, and now it delivered such a message?
They knew, while it was in the Lan Family’s possession, it never showed the slightest sign of activity!
Lan Ying laughed bitterly and said, "Apparently, this truly is Heaven’s Will."
Jin Shuhui furrowed her brows slightly, worriedly asking, "Ye Chen, do you plan to go to Juming Island? Isn’t this too coincidental? It just feels a little strange."
"Besides, as you said, you only have fifteen days in the Outer Realm, you must return on time for the battle between Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xue Ming in the Divine Kingdom! Also, don’t you still need to go to Heavenly Demon Land?"
Indeed, it seems strange, after all, the Evil Artifacts held by the Six Evil were destroyed, why does Jue Ming still want to enter Juesha Heaven?
Luckily, only half of the fifteen days have passed.
There’s still seven days left.
Just right timing.
