"Yes, the artifact broke into several pieces when it fell into Xiaoshentian, and the mysterious divine power contained in it also dissipated. However, it is said that the reason why Xiaoshentian became the best place for cultivation in the Continent of Gods is related to it." said the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
"What is the name of this artifact and where is it?" Mu Hanyan asked excitedly.
Although I have never been to Xiaoshentian, I have heard of its name for a long time. If Xiaoshentian can have its current status because of that artifact, then how mysterious and infinite it must be, and it is very likely that it can restore the vitality of the ancient tree of life.
"I don't know what the artifact was originally called. After it fell into the Lesser Divine Heaven, it was called the Seal of Life and Death. As for where it is..." The Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast pondered for a moment and said, "When the strange artifact descended from the sky, it broke into several pieces. The strong men from various families searched everywhere for it, and even the Lord God couldn't suppress it. Later I heard that the main temple found the largest piece, and an ancient priest family in the Lesser Divine Heaven found a slightly smaller piece. There were also two very small fragments that were taken out of the Lesser Divine Heaven. I don't know who took them away." The Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast shook his head and said.
"Even the God Lord can't suppress them, and just let them fight over it like this?" Mu Hanyan said in surprise.
She actually hoped that the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death would fall into the hands of the Main Temple. At least the target would be clear and she would know where to snatch it if she wanted to. But now it was broken into several pieces. Except for the largest part that fell into the hands of the Main Temple, the whereabouts of the rest were unknown, even to the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast. Where could she find it?
How could the Temple, with its supreme dominance over the Continent of Gods, allow such a thing to happen? What on earth was the Lord God doing?
When Mu Hanyan first arrived at the Divine Continent, she was nearly unable to move because the Temple's control was too strict, leaving her filled with resentment. Now, she felt that the Temple's control of the continent was still not strict enough. She couldn't even seize a divine artifact from the outer world, and was even taken away from the Lesser Divine Heaven by someone else, which also filled her with resentment.
"The Temple back then was different from what it is now. It didn't hold such great power. Those ancient and powerful families each united, pretending to obey the Lord's orders but secretly disobeying them, leaving him helpless. As far as I know, there was once a rebellion on the Continent of Gods. A priest known for his peerless genius recruited several of the most powerful priest families and led thousands of them to establish a separate temple, attempting to overthrow the control of the main temple.
"This rebellion lasted for thousands of years before it was finally suppressed. It was only then that the Temple established its current authority, and even that history was completely erased," the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast explained.
Mu Hanyan's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the ruins of the temple she found on the way to Tianyang City, as well as the tragic illusion of thousands of priests fighting to the death.
It seems that her guess was correct. There had indeed been a war between priests in the Continent of Gods, but that period of history was completely erased by the victors.
Mu Hanyan also thought of the huge and majestic statue again. She had not thought about it carefully before and did not have any special feelings. But now that she thought about it carefully, she found that his cold and ruthless eyes full of murderous intent were so similar to Zhan Yuan's.
If there was no guessing, the so-called peerless genius who started the rebellion should be Zhan Yuan in reincarnation. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the statue.
He's quite the restless person. Even after arriving at the Sacred Continent and re-entering the cycle of reincarnation, he's still stirring up trouble and even trying to overthrow the Temple's control. I wonder if he'll become more obedient after this defeat, Mu Hanyan thought secretly.
But she soon put the matter of Zhan Yuan behind her. The Demon Dragon Bafeng hadn't yet completed Nirvana when he was severely injured again by Ye Lanxun. Recovery would be difficult. With her understanding of the three great laws, her combat power increased by leaps and bounds. For a long time at least, Zhan Yuan was no longer a threat.
As for stirring up trouble, the current temple is no longer the same as it once was. It holds absolute authority in the Continent of Gods. Zhan Yuan can only subdue a few bandits and cause minor disturbances, but it won't amount to anything. Even if it does, it will be a headache for the Lord God, not him.
What we should be concerned about now is the whereabouts of the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death.
The largest fragment of the Qiankun Life and Death Seal was in the main temple. That was all she needed to know. Mu Hanyan didn't dare to attack it yet. With her current strength, it would be strange if she wasn't slapped to death by the Lord Divine. Therefore, she could only attack the other three fragments first.
"Except for the main temple, you don't have any news about the other three families?" Mu Hanyan asked somewhat unwillingly.
"Although the sealed space I am in is not completely isolated from the Little God Heaven, my divine sense is too weak and the range of perception is limited. Many things are just hearsay, so I don't know which three families they are. The only thing I can be sure of is that those three families should not have participated in the rebellion and are still passed down to the world." The Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast shook his head and said.
Obviously, further questioning wouldn't yield any clues, but Mu Hanyan wasn't too disappointed. Knowing it was three families was enough. Since they'd been able to snatch the artifact from under the noses of the main temple, and two of them had even taken fragments out of the Lesser Divine Heaven, they were definitely not ordinary priest families. With a little more careful attention, she should be able to find clues.
Next, Mu Hanyan learned more about the Lesser Divine Heaven. According to the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast's description, Lesser Divine Heaven was unlike both the Blackwood Prison and the Divine Continent beyond it. The power of the laws there was pure yet gentle, and while within it, one's divine consciousness would be greatly enhanced, making it more suitable for the cultivation of priestly divine arts.
The territory of Lesser God Heaven is also extremely vast, several times larger than the Black Wood Prison. Although it is directly governed by the Main Temple, they cannot manage it. Therefore, the priest families who have lived in Lesser God Heaven for generations still have great power, and even the five upper temples are not taken seriously by them.
Mu Hanyan had heard Wen Gaoren mention Lesser God Heaven before, and knew that only priests with permission from the Main Temple were eligible to go there for training, and that there were time limits; upon reaching that limit, they had to leave. She had assumed that Lesser God Heaven lacked family influence. Now, after hearing Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast repeatedly mention it, she was somewhat surprised to learn that Lesser God Heaven also had such a deep-rooted priestly family.
But after thinking about it, she felt relieved. Just like the Holy See, the Temple also has a history of millions of years. The longer the history, the more complicated the internal relationships. It is not surprising that such a family exists.
"Sir, if you want to go to the Lesser God Heaven, don't get into conflict with those priest families. They are very powerful, and except for the main temple, they don't take anyone seriously." After saying that, the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast reminded again.
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for myself." Mu Hanyan nodded and said.
