Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1583: Chapter 1583: Luoshen Abyss, Land of Divine Fall

Early Stage Great Sword Master, Late Stage Great Sword Master, Great Sword Master Peak!

In just a brief moment, he actually surged straight to Great Sword Master Peak. Even Mu Hanyan couldn’t help feeling envious of such advancement speed.

But Mu Hanyan also knew that Yue Fanchen’s strength had never been weaker than hers, and his talent was one in ten thousand. The effort he put into cultivation was by no means inferior to her own; it was only because his foundation had been damaged that he’d been unable to break through for so long, even getting left far behind by Long Ya and the others.

Now that his foundation had been repaired, with his deep accumulation finally erupting, plus the Sword Soul he had just comprehended, continual breakthroughs were nothing strange.

Yue Fanchen was so excited he could barely contain himself. He raised his head and howled toward the sky once more, his eyes already brimming with hot tears...

When they returned to the front courtyard, the others also came back one after another. Some were all smiles, clearly having comprehended a powerful Sword Soul; others looked dejected, having gained nothing at all. This was also within Mu Hanyan’s expectations. The Cultivation Path was inherently bumpy and full of ups and downs—how could one always have such good luck? She could only help them for a time, not for a lifetime; experiencing some setbacks wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for them.

Not seeing Huayue and the others in the crowd, Mu Hanyan wasn’t surprised. The Barrier deep within the Holy Court was equivalent to a divided, independent space. Although not as vast as the outside Continent, it still spanned ten thousand miles in radius. She and Yue Fanchen were lucky, transmitted directly to the foot of Holy Sword Peak. If their luck had been bad and they were sent to the edge of the Barrier, it might have taken several days just to return.

”Congratulations.” From behind came Ye Lanfeng’s voice.

Looking at Yue Fanchen, whose excitement hadn’t yet faded from his eyes, Ye Lanfeng revealed a gratified smile.

Because of Mu Hanyan, he was especially close to the Zue Family disciples, treating them as his own family.

”It’s all thanks to Han Yan. Otherwise, don’t even mention healing my injuries and restoring my foundation—I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be alive.” Yue Fanchen said emotionally.

”I never thought Bo Xuanji would actually be from the temple, nor that Ao Fangchen would act so recklessly. Good thing you’re all fine. Otherwise, even if I had to risk my life, I would never let them off.” Ye Lanfeng said in a low voice, his tone carrying a trace of lingering fear and an anger that could not be concealed.

That firm tone, the killing intent hidden within, were completely different from the usual transcendent Saint, who viewed all living beings as ants. He was no different from those hot-blooded cultivators who repaid grievances and favors with swift action. Only when it concerned Mu Hanyan would he reveal such an attitude; it could be considered a glimpse of his true nature.

”You already know?” Mu Hanyan asked, holding Ye Lanfeng’s hand.

”Ao Fangchen returned ahead of you. As soon as he emerged from the Illusion Realm, he immediately went to see the Holy Master and laid everything bare. Previously, when the Holy Master convened me and the elders at the Law Enforcement Hall, it was to discuss countermeasures.

Although Bo Xuanji has already been executed and Gai Huangji heavily injured and driven off, we can’t be sure there aren’t temple spies lurking within the Holy Court. All peaks and valleys will undergo a thorough investigation to prevent any unforeseen incidents.” Ye Lanfeng explained.

So that was it. Mu Hanyan had found it strange earlier that Ye Lanfeng and Jian Wuchen weren’t around—it turned out they were off discussing this matter. She had originally thought that Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian, concerned about their face, would try to conceal the whole affair; she hadn’t expected that the first thing they’d do upon returning would be to honestly report to the Holy Master. This once again confirmed Mu Hanyan’s view of the two. Though each had plenty of flaws, their loyalty to the Holy Court was utterly unquestionable, even fanatical. Their feelings as Guardians of the Holy Court Continent were also worthy of respect.

This was probably the fundamental reason why the Holy Court had been able to endure for a million years, still thriving and continuing to rule over the Holy Court Continent.

Of course, their fanaticism and loyalty were anything but good news for their enemies. After this investigation, who knew what sort of tempest would be stirred up? But this was the Holy Court’s internal affair; Mu Hanyan wasn’t in a position to say much.

”I heard you were injured. Was it serious?” Ye Lanfeng asked with concern.

”Nothing serious. Didn’t I already help him heal his injuries?” Mu Hanyan pointed at Yue Fanchen beside her and smiled sweetly.

”Then that’s good.” Ye Lanfeng knew Mu Hanyan’s character. If her injuries hadn’t healed, she would never hide it from him. Hearing her say this, he was relieved.

”By the way, have you heard of Luoshen Abyss?” Mu Hanyan asked.

Although, according to Bo Xuanji, Fen Qianji would surely die trapped in Luoshen Abyss, she believed he would not die so easily. No matter what, she had to rescue him.

”Luoshen Abyss?” Doubt appeared on Ye Lanfeng’s face.

”You haven’t heard of it either?” Mu Hanyan had thought she was simply ignorant, but seeing Ye Lanfeng’s expression, she realized he’d never heard of it either.

”No. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.” Ye Lanfeng shook his head.

Mu Hanyan’s heart sank. If even Ye Lanfeng didn’t know what kind of place Luoshen Abyss was, how could they possibly rescue Fen Qianji?

”If the North Abyss Misty Plain is the Holy Court Continent’s number one forbidden land, then Luoshen Abyss is the forbidden land among forbidden lands.” The Holy Master rode the wind as he arrived. Behind him trailed Ao Fangchen, Wei Xiaotian, and Han Yutang, all looking crestfallen.

Judging from their listless faces full of shame, they had clearly been harshly reprimanded by the Holy Master, and perhaps even punished.

But Mu Hanyan had no time to worry about them now. She hurriedly asked, ”Holy Master, you know of Luoshen Abyss?”

Beside her, Ye Lanfeng also looked at the Holy Master with curiosity.

”Lan Feng, do you still remember the Jade I gave you when you were six?” The Holy Master did not directly answer Mu Hanyan’s question, but instead asked Ye Lanfeng.

”Of course I remember. It took me seven full years to refine that piece of Jade. At the time I felt it was hard work, but later I realized that everything I’ve achieved in cultivation today is thanks to that Jade.” Ye Lanfeng said, both respectful and grateful.

”It’s called Xuanhuang Stone, and it comes from Luoshen Abyss.” The Holy Master paused, then continued explaining, ”After the Holy Continent split, the Heaven and Earth Rules became incomplete, and cultivation became far more difficult than before. Many cultivators, after untold hardships finally advancing to the Sword Saint Realm, found it nearly impossible to improve further and had no choice but to go to the North Abyss Misty Plain, relying on comprehending the Law of the Divine Continent and refining the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent to raise their cultivation. But the Heaven and Earth Rules within Beiyuan Fog Origin are extremely chaotic; even experts in the Sword Saint Realm face peril at every step when they enter.

As for this Xuanhuang Stone, it’s said to be a supreme treasure left behind when the Holy Continent’s Heaven and Earth first opened. It contains the most fundamental Heaven and Earth Rules and power, extremely gentle and pure, making comprehension and refinement much easier. However, Xuanhuang Stone can only be comprehended and refined by those below the Sword Saint Realm; the benefits it brings for one’s future far surpass those of waiting to advance to Sword Saint and then going to comprehend the Law.”

”Holy Master, then where exactly is Luoshen Abyss?” Hearing the Holy Master talk at length but still not mention where Luoshen Abyss was, Mu Hanyan couldn’t help growing anxious.
