Unfortunately, no matter how Mu Hanyan practiced or comprehended, she was still unable to integrate the laws of death and life into her magic.
What was the reason? Mu Hanyan practiced the technique over and over again, releasing the magic over and over again, but in the end, it was all in vain.
"Could it be that the technique is still not perfect enough?" Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of this question.
The last time the Tianxin technique advanced was because she finally found her seventh piece of the Destiny Star Plate. It seems that only by finding the remaining two pieces can the Tianxin technique be truly perfect, and she can truly integrate all the laws.
But where are the other two Destiny Star Discs? After figuring this out, Mu Hanyan stopped trying to comprehend the laws and instead began to ponder the whereabouts of the other two Destiny Star Discs.
However, the Divine Continent is vast, and finding the Destiny Star Plate is no easy feat. If it falls into the hands of a certain priest family, it's fine. But if it's hidden in a forbidden wilderness like the last one, finding it might be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Master." Wen Gaoren's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Come in." Mu Hanyan opened the door and asked, "Have you found any clues about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
What Mu Hanyan asked Wen Gaoren to inquire about was the matter of the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death.
The vitality of the ancient tree of life in her heart meridian was getting weaker and weaker. If it continued like this, she would definitely not be able to surpass her limit. Only by finding the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death could she restore the vitality of the ancient tree of life.
"I am incompetent and have failed to live up to Master's trust. There is still no news. Please punish me, Master!" Wen Gaoren stood respectfully with his hands behind his back, saying with a look of shame on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. I don't blame you. Take your time. I'm just asking. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?" Mu Hanyan was originally very anxious, but seeing the pitiful look of the white-bearded old man with tears of guilt, she could only pretend to be calm and comfort him.
"It's like this. The chief priests of the twelve temples heard that you have returned safely, so they came to Huayu City in person to congratulate you. They are almost at the city gate. Would you like to go and greet them?" Seeing that Mu Hanyan did not blame him, Wen Gaoren finally stopped crying and said respectfully.
"Let's go and welcome them." Mu Hanyan temporarily put aside the matter of the Destiny Star Plate and the Ancient Tree of Life, and led Wen Gaoren outside.
Although the strength of those chief priests was far inferior to hers, they all had equal status and could not lose their manners.
"Chief Priest Mu, congratulations on your safe return. We are here to congratulate you." As soon as they saw Mu Hanyan, the chief priests bowed and said.
"Thank you all, gentlemen. Hanyan is very grateful." Mu Hanyan also returned the greeting and led everyone into the city.
Just as the chief priests of each hall stepped into the city, Liu Qianyuan led a white-haired, arrogant old man towards Huayu City.
This old man was Liu Qianyuan's third uncle, Liu Rande, who was one generation older than Liu Qianyuan's father.
To be honest, Liu Rande's qualifications are not very good, and he is not very famous. Many people don't even know that there is such a person in the Liu family. But he has a long life. After so many years, most of the Liu family members of the same generation as Liu Rande died in battle, died of illness, died of old age, and now he is the only one left.
As the saying goes, "An elder in the family is like a treasure." The Liu clan naturally held this Third Uncle in exceptional respect, prioritizing his use of all cultivation resources and treasures. With these resources, coupled with nearly two hundred years of diligent cultivation, Liu Rande's strength was quite impressive, having reached the pinnacle of the Tenth-Rank Divine Heart Priest, only one step away from becoming a Divine Soul Priest. From the perspective of ordinary people, this was already a formidable master.
However, due to his limited talent, Liu Rande was never able to be promoted to a Soul Priest, so he traveled extensively, looking for an opportunity to break through. This time, while passing through the Temple of Life, he happened to meet Liu Qianyuan seeking help. Upon hearing that his junior was being bullied, he naturally rushed to help him.
"Third uncle, you must make the decision for me this time." Liu Qianyuan looked at the old man and said pitifully.
"Don't worry, a mere chief priest of the Huayu Temple dares to bully the young master of my Liu family. Even if you don't say anything, I will teach her a lesson and let her know my name, Liu Rande." Liu Rande said with a cold snort.
When mentioning Liu Rande's name, the old man exuded domineering and arrogant attitude.
Because his talent was too mediocre, he had always been unknown. Any of his contemporaries from the Liu family was more famous than him, and even some of the Liu family's servants were more famous than him. At that time, he was self-aware and knew that his talent was not as good as others, so he didn't care much. Anyway, he just wanted to live a life of luxury and wait for death.
But things are different now. He has been living a life of idleness and waiting for death. In the end, everyone else died, but he, who was waiting to die, did not die. He suddenly became the eldest elder in the Liu family, and his wife finally became a mother-in-law. How could he still be willing to be as unknown as before?
Even if one cannot leave a name for eternity in life, at least one should leave a good reputation. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste to live such a long life?
He had already made up his mind that this trip to Huayu City would be the time for him, Liu Rande, to become famous and famous.
"Third uncle, besides teaching her a lesson, there is another thing I need your help with." Seeing Liu Rande's domineering attitude, Liu Qianyuan was full of confidence and spoke cautiously.
"Go ahead." Liu Deran waved his hand and said.
"I guess Third Uncle also knows that I have a sacrificial pet, the Scarlet Thunder Golden-Winged Beast. That guy ran... ran away." Liu Qianyuan said anxiously.
Actually, seeking revenge on Mu Hanyan was secondary; the most important thing was to retrieve the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast. Revenge could be taken at any time, but if he couldn't retrieve the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, he would be completely finished.
"What! What did you say?" Liu Rande looked shocked.
Although he wasn't eligible to tame the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast due to his mediocre aptitude and strength, he was aware of this fact. To tame this Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, generations of powerful Liu family members toiled tirelessly, dedicating tens of thousands of years to the task. It took countless generations of effort to achieve success. This Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast became the hope for the Liu family's rise.
Even though the Liu family is respected as the first priest family outside of Xiaoshentian, such a status does not make them satisfied. You must know that the Liu family used to be a wealthy and prestigious family in Xiaoshentian. It was only because of the decline of their family fortunes that they had to withdraw from Xiaoshentian.
The Liu family members dream of returning to Xiaoshentian and regaining its former glory. However, returning to Xiaoshentian is not easy. Either there must be more than five soul priests in the family, or a top-level strong man must be born who can conquer the many wealthy and prestigious families in Xiaoshentian by himself and gain their recognition.
Given the current situation of the Liu family, it is simply impossible to produce more than five soul priests. The only hope is to cultivate a top-level strongman. It is conceivable how important the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast is to the Liu family.
Who would have thought that this red thunder golden-winged beast, which represented the life of the Liu family for generations, would actually run away.
