But for Mu Hanyan, this cultivation speed was only average. If she continued at this rate, it would take her more than a thousand years to reach the stage of Spirit Transformation and Return to Void, or even break through the ultimate limit and shatter the void. More importantly, she could clearly feel that the withered Ancient Tree of Life had become her biggest bottleneck. If she couldn't restore its vitality, she would probably never reach that level.
After all, she is different from others. Others either practice divine arts or swordsmanship, but she practices both. The requirements for improvement are higher and the difficulty is greater.
Over the past six months, several blessed priests have deliberately made friends with her and invited her to banquets from time to time. Mu Hanyan also generously gave her a lot of five-colored soul beads. Although five-colored soul beads are not too rare in the Lesser God Heaven, there are definitely people like Mu Hanyan who carry more than 200,000 five-colored soul beads on them. Through the exchange of gifts, she became closer and closer to those blessed priests.
Mu Yanyan pretended to be indifferent and inquired about the whereabouts of the broken seal and the destiny star disk several times, but unfortunately there was no clue. Although the Lord God gave her a year to stay in the main temple, seeing that her cultivation progress was getting slower and slower, Mu Hanyan became a little anxious.
In the Qiankun Life and Death Seal, Hua Yue and the others encountered some difficulties in their cultivation. Thanks to the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering and Heaven and Earth Soul Tempering, their strength had indeed increased significantly. Their divine arts had reached the realm of Ninth-Rank Divine Heart Priest, and their swordsmanship was only one step away from becoming a Sword Saint. However, after reaching this point, they encountered a bottleneck, and no matter what they did, they were unable to break through. They did not know what had gone wrong.
On this day, several blessed priests came to invite Mu Hanyan to a banquet again. Mu Hanyan was worried about the cultivation of herself, Hua Yue and others, and wanted to refuse. But then she changed her mind and thought that it was not a solution to just worry about it behind closed doors. After all, those blessed priests had been practicing for nearly a thousand years and were knowledgeable and experienced. Perhaps they could bring her some inspiration, so she happily attended the banquet.
"By the way, Chief Priest Mu, I remember you asked about the rare treasures and magical tools that can quickly improve your cultivation last time. I didn't think of it then, but only remembered it yesterday. Maybe the Divine Sword Gorge can find what you want. You can try it in this trial." A blessed priest said when the wine was half drunk.
"Divine Sword Gorge, trial?" Mu Hanyan looked at him puzzledly.
Since Fen Qianji was in seclusion, she also focused on her cultivation. Apart from these blessed priests, she had no contact with other people and had no idea about the Divine Sword Gorge or the trial.
“Don’t you know yet? Divine Sword Gorge is a secret place in our main temple. It is a thousand miles long and a hundred miles wide. There are many artifacts and magical instruments left in it by senior masters. It is the holy place for cultivation that the priests of the main temple have dreamed of for generations.
"This Divine Sword Gorge is sealed by heaven and earth, forming a barrier. Normally, only the Lord Divine Master is qualified to enter and cultivate within. It's considered the most forbidden area of our main temple, and no one else is allowed to enter. However, every thousand years, the Lord Divine Master opens the seal, allowing ordinary priests an opportunity to train. You happened to catch this millennium period, so you can give it a try," the blessed priest explained.
"Thank you for reminding me, sir. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known about this." Mu Hanyan's heart moved, and she said gratefully.
After inquiring for so long without finding the whereabouts of the broken seal and the Destiny Star Plate, she speculated that these two rare treasures were either personally collected by the Lord God, or hidden in a very secret place, so secret that these blessed priests were completely unaware of them. If the latter was the case, the Divine Sword Gorge, known as the most forbidden area of the Lord God Temple, was naturally the most likely place.
