Earlier.
Du Qian Jun and his companion had traveled down the other path that led to a s.p.a.cious hall that was similar to the one Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng were at. Similar to the other hall, there was a statue in the middle of the hall as well.
‘When Du Qian Jun tried to inspect the statue with his Divine Consciousness, he discovered that it was futile. He hesitated briefly over attacking the statue, afraid of the consequences. Hence, he tried to attack the statue lightly with his Divine Energy. He discovered there was no movement and even his
Divine Energy was blocked.
Following that, after determining it was safe, Du Qian Jun and his companion attacked the statue with all their might. Alas, there was still no movement.
“What should we do now? Should we turn back?”
Since they had given their all in attacking the statue and yielded no results, they decided to turn back. However, they had just taken several steps on the path when they felt a resistant force that blocked their way.
“Tt seems like there’s no turning back…”
Under such circ.u.mstances, Du Qian Jun and his companion could only turn around and look at the statue again before trying to look for hints everywhere.
‘When the statue finally came to life, Du Qian Jun and his companion were naturally startled and frightened. How could a statue come to life?
“The paths, the destinations, and the activation methods are similar. Alas, you were left behind. All I can say is that you have no fate with me, Qin Wu. Nonetheless, since you’ve made it this far, I can’t just let you leave. I need to at least introduce myself for courtesy sake. My name is Qin Wu, and Ima
sectless cultivator from the Eastern Ridge Mansion. I was in a few forces in the past…”
‘The statue repeated the things it had told Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng earlier, except for a few slight differences.
“My life came to an end when I was a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds.”
Du Qian Jun and his companions’ expressions changed as soon as they heard the words ‘no fate’. With this, they knew they had lost this opportunity. They were too slow, and the other group beat them to it.
“”TIl send you out of this place now,” the statue said before pointing his sword in the air.
A dark vortex appeared, pulling Du Qian Jun and his companion into it.
“No! I won’t leave the Divine Sanctuary!” Du Qian Jun was naturally reluctant to leave. He tried to resist the pulling force, but the dark vortex was incredibly fast. Not only that, it suddenly moved, shrouding Du Qian Jun and his companion at the speed of light and transporting them out of the Divine
Mansion.
‘When Du Qian Jun and his companion were transported out, they saw the door to the Divine Sanctuary was closed. Not only that, but the five keys were gone as well.
“d.a.m.n it!” Du Qian Jun cursed. He rose to his feet and pounded on the doors, hoping to open them. However, no matter how much force he used, the doors did not budge at all.
Du Qian Jun’s expression was extremely unsightly at this moment. He gradually calmed his surging emotions as he thought to himself, ‘The statue is definitely that of the person who created the Divine Sanctuary. Moreover, he was a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds.
Du Qian Jun felt distressed when he thought about it. He could already the kind of precious treasures that were in a rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds’ Divine Sanctuary.
‘Since someone has activated the statue first, is it Young Master Han? It has to be Young Master Han,’ Du Qian Jun wondered as his eyes glinted.
Since Du Qian Jun did not meet Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian, it stood to reason that the path Chu Han had taken was the one Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian had taken. If those four met, he had no doubt about the outcome: Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian would definitely die.
Du Qian Jun sighed. He smiled bitterly as he extended his Divine Consciousness into his Spatial Ring to check on Chu Han’s Soul Pearl that he had obtained earlier. However, it did not take long before his expression froze.
“H-how’s this possible?!” Chu Han’s Soul Pearl had shattered.
“y-young Master Han died? What happened? Du Qian Jun could not understand how Chu Han could have died. “Wu Yi Shan and his companion are definitely no match for Young Master Han and his companion. Was Young Master Han ambushed by his junior brother? However, could his junior brother
really betray him?”
Du Qian Jun’s expression was extremely grim. “It doesn’t matter if I was transported out and Young Master Han obtained the treasure in there. He was my junior uncle after all. However, if Young Master Chu Han’s junior brother ambushed him and killed him for the treasures, I won’t let him get away with
it!”
“It’s a pity I can’t tell my grandfather about the Divine Sanctuary due to the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath! However, I can make up a story about that boy killing Young Master Han. With that, even if he returns to the Flying Dragon Sect, he won’t have a good outcome!”
With that, Du Qian Jun and his companion left the individual realm and returned to the Profound Energy Land. He brought out his king-grade flying s.h.i.+p and flew toward the 10,000 Devils Sect at top speed. At the same time, he sent a message to Du Zhan, his grandfather.
“Grandfather, your junior brother’s disciple, Chu Han, is dead!”
Du Zhan, the Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect, replied immediately, “What nonsense are you spouting?! You can’t simply joke about things like this! If your senior granduncle hears about this, he’ll be displeased. Most importantly, how dare you sneak out again? Where are you? Get your as* back
home immediately, you brat!”
Despite the harsh tone, Du Zhan clearly cared about Du Qian Jun.
Du Qian Jun smiled bitterly as he replied, “Grandfather, I can’t tell you where I’d been since I’ve sworn on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath. However, I really did meet Chu Han, and we even exchanged Soul Pearl. I’m not joking with you. Chu Han’s Soul Pearl is shattered!”
It took a long time before Du Zhan replied, “How do you know if you haven’t met him before?”
“After I told him I’m from the 10,000 Devils Sect, he managed to guess my ident.i.ty since it resembles your portrait when you were young that hangs in his master’s room,” Du Qian Jun said.
“Wait for a moment.”
Du Zhan, the intermediate Lord of G.o.ds, felt easy and anxious at this moment. He gritted his teeth and sent a message to his senior brother, who was Chu Han’s Master.”
“Senior brother, did something happen to Chu Han?”
The reply came swiftly.
“How do you know, junior brother? My disciple is dead. I’m investigating his death now. I’ll speak to you when I’m done.”
“Senior brother…” Du Zhan smiled bitterly. He could tell his senior brother was not as calm as he had sounded.
Du Zhan thought to himself, ‘I better not bring up what Qian Jun said yet. After all, I can’t confirm if it’s true. I’ll wait for that brat to return first.’
Meanwhile, after the statue opened up a path, Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng entered the inner sanctuary of the Divine Sanctuary.
The inner sanctuary was where Qin Wu, the rudimentary Emperor of G.o.ds, had left his possessions.
“Qin Wu said his prominent divine artifact that has an incomplete soul is in here. It seemed like he decided to face the Heavenly Tribulations without help back then.” Wu Feng said as he surveyed his surroundings.
“He barely survived the previous tribulation and could heal his injuries in time before the next tribulation. Hence, he knew he would not be able to survive. Hence, no matter what he did, the outcome would be the same. With that, he likely thought it was best to leave everything behind. After all, if he had
brought his prominent divine artifact, which was in the process of birthing a soul, with him, it would only end up being destroyed in the tribulation,” Duan Ling Tian, who possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete soul, said.
“The soul was born from the prominent divine artifact. Considering how lonely he was, he must have treated the soul like his child,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh when he recalled Qin Wu’s words. He remembered Qin Wu’s voice had turned gently when Qin Wu spoke about the soul that was almost
formed. Qin Wu’s tone at that time was like a father talking about his child..
