NOVPUB"Hmm... Thank you, Elder Blade, for your assistance. I will immediately report this matter to the ancient ancestors of our clan. Should there be any discovery, I will contact Elder Blade."
Xia Yanjie nodded, expressing his gratitude and took the Commander’s Seal.
Afterward, Su Changkong went their separate ways with the two men, returning to the Spirit Taoist Sect.
"The power of the Great Divine Power has appeared on the territory of the Great Flame Empire... what exactly is behind this? Things are indeed becoming more chaotic!"
Xia Yanjie was somewhat worried; he knew that this incident might involve the Great Divine Power Martial Saint and was bound to be no trivial matter. It could even shake the foundations of the Great Flame Empire, but he had no choice but to adapt to circumstances!
Xia Yanjie and Duanmu Tao rushed back to Great Flame City, eager to report their findings to the old ancestor of the Xia Yan family.
As for Su Changkong, he returned to the Spirit Taoist Sect and quietly resumed his cultivation.
"The chaos is escalating; I hope to make a breakthrough soon."
Su Changkong felt helpless. As the tide of Spiritual Energy surged, significant events frequently occurred everywhere. All Su Changkong could do was strive to improve his strength. Once he cultivated one type of Martial Arts to the 12th level, he could manifest Divine Skills and reach the Entering Saint level, which would certainly bring about a great transformation in his strength! 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Su Changkong continued his quiet cultivation, but the land of the Great Flame Empire was far from peaceful, and the turmoil was intensifying!
"Atop the Heavenly Mountains, two swordsmen engaged in battle, leveling hills after hills. One clad in black, the other in white, they are suspected to be the Flying Snow Sword God and the Mysterious Yin Sword King from a thousand years ago. They were believed to have perished together in a battle a millennium ago, but now they have reappeared..."
"At Lu Banshan, a demon began a murderous rampage, where the top-notch sect ’Hanging Sword Sect’ suffered dozens of casualties among Innate Martial Artists and thousands of disciples, nearly facing extermination. The demon stands eight feet tall, and with a mere gesture, it exhibits the divine might of Mountain Splitting Stone Breaking. He is suspected to be the Demon Sect warrior ’Mountain Demon King,’ whom the Hanging Sword Sect and other top sects had joined forces to slay."
Across various lands of the Great Flame Empire, extremely sensational events erupted regularly; the once-dead strong now reappeared in the world. Each of them had been famous and prominent in the Flame Empire, causing massive chaos, and the Xia Yan family couldn’t conceal the news—it had already spread!
In a desolate mountain within the Great Flame Empire, a woman was watering flowers.
This woman, extremely beautiful with fiery red hair and blood-red eyes, exuded a dangerously intense aura. The flower field she tended to seemed irrigated with blood, the blossoms intensely crimson.
"Elder Hong... the thing we’ve been waiting for may have come into existence."
Soundlessly, a man in a red robe appeared on the outskirts of the flower field. He bowed deeply with utmost respect and reported.
Upon hearing the news, the red-haired woman’s blood-colored eyes flashed with a startling light. The petals of the surrounding blood-red flowers split open to reveal gaping maws filled with sharp teeth—a truly horrific sight.
"Good... Waiting here for a decade or two in this place with scant Spiritual Energy hasn’t been in vain," she said, her lips curving into a smile as her red hair writhed like serpents!
Atop a perilous mountain, two swordsmen were locked in a battle to the death, their swords moving like shadows. Any random strike from their blades was perfect, wreaking havoc with their Sword Qi, shredding the lush vegetation and rugged rocks atop the mountain into dust.
The two had long been dead, once famous swordsmen known across the world, standing at the forefront of good and evil, mortal enemies who had reached insurmountable levels. They chose to fight atop the Heavenly Mountains to ascend to sainthood. The battle ended with both exerting their full strength, evenly matched, leading to mutual destruction and their ultimate demise.
Now, due to some unknown force and their lingering obsessions, they have been ’projected’ back into the world, rekindling their battle atop the Heavenly Mountains, each striving to best the other.
While the two peerless swordsmen waged their epic battle, a spectral figure in a black robe stood quietly in the void, observing the fierce fight below.
The figure in black was none other than Qin Miesheng, the Master of the Life Extinguishing Association.
Qin Miesheng’s face, barely discernible under his black robe, revealed a faint smile: "’Reflecting the Ages,’ the Great Divine Power is indeed profound. The ’Great Divine Seed’ hidden in this land seems to have reacted to the rise in Spiritual Energy, calling out to something, causing an overflow of power, which brings back into existence those who have left their mark on this land and had since died."
Divine Seeds naturally vary in strength, and those left by Divine Power Martial Saints differ vastly from those of the Great Divine Powers.
The ’Great Divine Seed’ belonged to a Great Divine Power Martial Saint and contained the essence of Great Divine Power!
A Martial Saint who had cultivated Great Divine Power and reached this level was hardly susceptible to accidental death. After all, with such immense strength at the peak among Martial Saints, they were likely to simply pass away naturally with the passage of time and die while meditating.
Yet Qin Miesheng was well aware that within the territory of the Great Flame Empire, there lay a ’Great Divine Seed’ from an age so ancient that neither the Flame Empire nor the Huwei Dynasty had dominion over these lands. A Great Divine Power Martial Saint came to this earth and fought a mortal battle against a formidable foe.
The Great Divine Power Martial Saint eventually slew the adversary but couldn’t escape the fate of death due to the enemy’s retaliation, perishing on this land.
Years later, possibly induced by the tide of Spiritual Energy or some sensitivity of the ’Great Divine Seed,’ it released power, affecting this land, causing certain individuals who ought to have perished to be ’projected’ back into existence.
