Qing Shuang tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to stay calm. This was not the time to act rashly; they needed to first figure out these people’s origins and intentions.“Elder, there’s still something unclear to me.” The extravagant black-robed person who spoke earlier spoke again, “Why are we going to such lengths to use the Blood Ghost Sect’s power to collect the Blood Soul Pearl? With our Holy Sect’s capabilities, shouldn’t it be easy?”
The elderly voice was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, “You may not know, the Blood Soul Pearl is a Treasure containing the most evil power in the world. To collect it, one must employ special dark arts. The Blood Ghost Sect’s dark arts happen to be highly effective in this regard.”
“I see.” The extravagant black-robed person understood suddenly, then asked again in puzzlement, “But Elder, hasn’t the Blood Ghost Sect already been used up by us? Why keep them around?”
“The Blood Ghost Sect still has its uses,” the elderly voice replied meaningfully. “After all, they are a native power in the Tianyuan Empire and can provide some cover for our Holy Sect. Moreover, some of the secret techniques they hold are of reference value to us.”
“Understood,” the extravagant black-robed person respectfully replied.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen and the other two felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They finally understood that the Blood Ghost Sect was merely a pawn used by this so-called “Holy Sect”. And this “Holy Sect” was the more terrifying and powerful force hidden behind them.
“These black-robed people are not remnants of the Blood Ghost Sect but people from some ‘Holy Sect’?” Luo Chen murmured, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Qing Shuang nodded, her expression solemn as she said, “It looks like our previous suspicions were correct. There is indeed a larger conspiracy hidden behind the Blood Ghost Sect.”
Mo Han’s face went pale as if recalling something, his voice trembling as he said, “The Holy Sect… if I remember correctly, the Ancient Tome once recorded that ten thousand years ago, there was an extremely terrifying evil sect in the Cultivation Realm called the ‘Holy Sect’! Could it be… could it be them?”
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both shocked upon hearing this. An evil sect from ten thousand years ago? How ancient and terrifying must such an existence be?
“How was it recorded in the Ancient Tome?” Qing Shuang hurriedly asked, realizing that the “Holy Sect” Mo Han mentioned might be the enemy they were now facing.
Mo Han took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner shock, and said slowly, “The Ancient Tome records that ten thousand years ago, the Cultivation Realm was in turmoil, Demons rampaged, and the people suffered. At that time, a cult organization named ‘Holy Sect’ rose, worshipping a terrifying entity called the ‘Holy Master’, spreading apocalypse prophecies, bewitching minds, and causing devastation. It is said that at the time, the ‘Holy Sect’ had immense power and almost ruled the entire Cultivation Realm, causing numerous sects to fall, with lives thrown into ruin, plunging the whole Cultivation Realm into darkness.”
“That terrible?” Luo Chen gasped, unable to imagine that such horrific events occurred in the Cultivation Realm ten thousand years ago.
“What happened later? What became of this ‘Holy Sect’ in the end?” Qing Shuang asked eagerly, desperate to know more about this “Holy Sect”.
Mo Han shook his head, his expression gloomy as he said, “The Ancient Tome doesn’t give detailed records of how the ‘Holy Sect’ was wiped out, only that under the joint counterattack of those on the Righteous Path in the Cultivation Realm, the ‘Holy Sect’ finally vanished, and the ‘Holy Master’ fell with them. But no one expected that ten thousand years later, this evil sect organization would appear again, haunting endlessly!”
“What is their purpose in reviving the ‘Holy Master’?” Luo Chen asked with a frown, feeling a strong sense of crisis looming over him.
“I don’t know,” Mo Han shook his head, eyes filled with worry. “But one thing is certain, once the ‘Holy Master’ is resurrected, the entire Cultivation Realm will likely face another catastrophe.”
Qing Shuang was silent for a while, then calmly analyzed, “From their conversation just now, it’s clear that this ‘Holy Sect’ is using the Blood Ghost Sect to collect Blood Soul Pearls to resurrect their ‘Holy Master’. And the emperor of the Tianyuan Empire has already been controlled by them, becoming their puppet, providing them with resources and cover.”
“Exactly, and they seem to be in the final stages,” Luo Chen added, looking at the Blood Soul Pearl at the center of the altar, feeling the increasingly powerful evil force, with growing unease.
At this moment, the elderly voice spoke again, with a tone of mystery and anticipation, “To welcome the arrival of the Holy Master, we need one more thing…”
“One more thing?” the extravagant black-robed person asked in confusion, “What thing?”
“Chaos Divine Artifact.” The elderly voice slowly uttered four words, carrying an intimidating pressure, “Only with the power of the Chaos Divine Artifact can we truly awaken the sleeping soul of the Holy Master.”
“Chaos Divine Artifact?!” the extravagant black-robed person exclaimed in shock and longing, “Could it be… could the legendary Chaos Divine Artifact really exist?”
“Of course it exists,” the elderly voice affirmed, “And according to our Holy Sect’s thousand-year investigation, it has been confirmed that the Chaos Divine Artifact… is hidden within the Imperial Palace of the Tianyuan Empire!”
“In the Imperial Palace?!” the extravagant black-robed person exclaimed again, his voice trembling, “How… how could that be possible? A Treasure as important as the Chaos Divine Artifact being hidden in the Imperial Palace?”
“I’m not sure of the specific reason,” the elderly voice continued, “But this is indeed the most reliable information our Holy Sect has gathered over the millennia. So, we must quickly find the Chaos Divine Artifact and complete the final preparations before the Holy Master’s arrival.”
“Understood!” the extravagant black-robed person immediately replied, his tone becoming extremely firm, “I will send people to the Imperial Palace to search and ensure the Chaos Divine Artifact is found!”
Hearing this, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Mo Han all had a drastic change in complexion. Chaos Divine Artifact? Hidden within the Imperial Palace? This sudden information left them shocked and also gave them a sliver of hope.
“Chaos Divine Artifact…” Luo Chen muttered to himself, his eyes flickering with complex emotions. These four words were like a thunderclap, exploding in his mind, stirring up waves.
Qing Shuang and Mo Han were equally shocked beyond words by this news. They never expected that a seemingly simple task would uncover such an earth-shattering secret.
“The Chaos Divine Artifact, said to possess the power to create worlds!” Mo Han’s voice trembled slightly, evidently aware of the legend of the Chaos Divine Artifact.
“How did the Ancient Tome record it?” Qing Shuang suppressed her shock, asking calmly. She knew this was not the time to panic; they had to quickly clear their minds and find a way to deal with it.
Mo Han tried to recall, narrating the records about the Chaos Divine Artifact in the Ancient Tome, “The Chaos Divine Artifact is a supreme Treasure born from the Chaos Qi at the beginning of time, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Legend says that whoever wields the Chaos Divine Artifact can control all things under heaven and become a supreme being.”
“That powerful?” Luo Chen listened in awe, though he knew the Chaos Divine Artifact was extraordinary, he didn’t expect it to be so terrifying.
“Indeed,” Mo Han nodded, “Which is why the Chaos Divine Artifact became the object of countless disputes.”
“It is said that in ancient times, a cataclysmic war broke out over the Chaos Divine Artifact, a battle that shattered the heavens, plunged the earth into darkness, and countless powerful figures fell. Eventually, the Chaos Divine Artifact also disappeared, its whereabouts unknown.”
“Then how did these ‘Holy Sect’ people know the Chaos Divine Artifact is in the Imperial Palace?” Qing Shuang voiced her doubts.
