Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 689: 689 holds the auspicious beast egg and looks defiantly at Cangqiong

”What other way could there be? This area for miles around is no different from the Sealing Forbidden Land at the edge of the continent. Although the divine might is slightly less, it’s still not something we can contend with. You must know, my master was once one of the seven high priests of the temple, far stronger than the ordinary Sword Saints of your Holy Court Continent. Even he was gravely injured when crossing the Forbidden Land,” Yue Ji lamented, utterly disbelieving Mu Hanyan’s words.

Her master, who was also Huayue’s father, Hua Guanyu, one of the seven high priests of the temple, possessed strength far surpassing that of the ordinary Sword Saints on the Holy Court Continent—a mighty presence not even worthy for ordinary people to look up to—yet he was still gravely injured within that Forbidden Land. Mu Hanyan, merely a Great Swordsman in cultivation, what could he possibly do?

”Grandma, you believe in him, you won’t be wrong,” Hua Yuezi, Jiang Yuzhe, and several others deeply believed Mu Hanyan’s words and immediately sat down with crossed legs, focusing all their efforts on running their cultivation techniques.

The longer they stayed with Mu Hanyan, the more they saw, and the less they doubted him, leaving only absolute trust. Since he said there was a way, there must be one.

And Mu Hanyan, also running the Heavenly Heart Technique, started to tackle the final bottleneck in advancing to the Sword Master realm.

What Yue Ji said was true, the clash of two distinct Heaven and Earth Powers outside their bodies mimicked the Sealing Forbidden Land at the edge of the continent. But speaking of dangers, it was actually a bit less intense—wasn’t it an excellent opportunity for her breakthrough? Such an opportunity was something she could hardly even hope for.

Mu Hanyan steeled her resolve and directly integrated the chaotic Heaven and Earth Power around her into her Heart Meridian.

The power was so violent that even Mu Hanyan’s Heart Meridian, despite undergoing the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Washing Marrow and Cutting Veins, felt sharp pain. Her heart throbbed repeatedly, feeling an instinctual unease.

The Heart Meridian is the most fragile yet most deadly part of the human body. Damage to the meridians and Dantian can be treated and repaired, and even if they can’t be, it only results in the loss of all strength, yet life can still be preserved. However, once the Heart Meridian is ruptured, death is certain. Aside from the Mu Family’s cultivation techniques, few others focus on cultivating the Heart Meridian.

But the Mu Family’s Heavenly Heart Technique, refined by countless generations over tens of thousands of years, had become more and more perfect. The Heaven and Earth Power of the Holy Court Continent could no longer cause any harm to their Heart Meridians. But now, the situation was different. The violent clash of two distinct Heaven and Earth Powers far exceeded any single force.

Mu Hanyan was well aware that her Heart Meridian could shatter at any moment, resulting in her death, yet she had no hesitation.

This was her best chance to advance to a Sword Master, perhaps her only chance. Although there were some risks, it was still much safer than heading to the Sealing Forbidden Land at the edge of the continent and facing certain death.

Deep in her Heart Meridian, those dim and unclear stars were kindled one by one. Enduring that heart-piercing pain, she suppressed all insecurity and resolutely kept absorbing the frenzied Heaven and Earth Power into her Heart Meridian.

Feeling the pressure on her body greatly reduced, Huayue and the others opened their eyes and looked at Mu Hanyan in amazement. The Heaven and Earth Power was so fearsome and domineering, they couldn’t even bear it, yet Mu Hanyan was actually able to cultivate with it!

Yue Ji seemed to realize something, her eyes flickering continuously.

”Hum”—Everyone heard a sound like pleasing celestial music, a vast aura emanated from Mu Hanyan.

”Sword Master, the Sword Master realm!” Huayue and the others showed ecstatic expressions, although they didn’t know how Mu Hanyan used this chaotic Heaven and Earth Power to advance to a Sword Master, they still felt genuinely relieved and joyful.

At the same time, the vast Heaven and Earth Power from all directions surged in, a majestic and imposing spectacle. This was precisely the phenomenon of advancing to a Sword Master.

Feeling the overwhelming power of Heaven and Earth surging like clouds, Huayue and the others all showed expressions of longing and reverence on their faces. For them, becoming Sword Masters had once been their greatest dream.

”No good!” However, Yue Ji’s face once again showed an expression of horror.

That power from the Divine Continent, which had already begun to weaken, seemed to sense the crisis and became more violent. In mid-air, thunder and lightning gathered, almost tangible, like a towering mountain peak, crashing down towards Mu Hanyan with a thunderous roar.

Seeing the blade winds, thunder fires, lightning, and frost contained within the mountain peak and feeling the destructive power within, Huayue and the others’ expressions changed drastically. At this moment, Mu Hanyan’s strength had not yet fully consolidated; she was at the critical point between being a Swordsman and a Sword Master, and also at her weakest moment. How could she possibly withstand such divine might?

Mu Hanyan slightly furrowed her brows; she had previously used the critical moment of the Black-clothed Swordsman’s fluctuating strength to launch a fatal strike. Little did she expect that it would soon be her turn.

Indeed, Heaven and Earth were sentient, and the timing was impeccable. Given just a moment longer, she would be able to consolidate her strength and fearlessly confront this heavenly might, but presently, she simply did not have that moment.

Nonetheless, Mu Hanyan wasn’t panicked, and although it was risky, she wouldn’t blindly gamble with her life.

The Blessed Beast Egg appeared in Mu Hanyan’s hand.

It should be known that the hatching of the Blessed Beast Egg also required the Heaven and Earth Power from other continents; had Mu Hanyan not been worried about affecting her advancement, she would have taken it out earlier, so why bother risking her life personally?

Seeing Mu Hanyan dealing with life and death, not rushing to consolidate her cultivation, but instead taking out an egg, Huayue and others widened their eyes.

What was this intended for? To replenish her strength, or to fill her stomach to avoid dying of hunger? They had never thought of her as a foodie before.

Under their astonished gaze, Mu Hanyan raised the egg high.

Uh... A picture emerged in the minds of Huayue and the others: facing the destructive heavenly might, Eldest Young Master Mu fluttering in his clothes with flowing hair, holding up a long sword and howling towards the sky with splendid valor and boundless passion, disdainful of Heaven and Earth... Well, rubbing their eyes, Eldest Young Master Mu wasn’t holding a sword, but an egg.

The scene was indescribably odd, even comical, although certainly no one could laugh at the moment.

”She’s gone mad, Mu Hanyan must have lost her mind,” Jiang Yuzhe muttered.

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Yuzhe’s eyes popped, forgetting the pain in his body, he straightened up and sat up.

He saw the majestic mountain peak, formed by the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent, seemingly blocked by an invisible barrier in mid-air, hovering above Mu Hanyan’s head.

In her hand, the beast egg flashed a point of Light Star. Different colors of light burst forth from the mountain peak, converging into a single line, flowing into that spot of light.
