Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1660: Chapter 1660: Sudden Mutation

Oh, there’s also the Xuanhuang Stone. Thinking of Fen Qianji, Mu Hanyan then thought of that Xuanhuang Stone. It has taken half a year, and the Xuanhuang Stone has yet to be fully refined, and her strength has not advanced to Sword Saint.

This graveyard is located within the Heavenly Curtain, the closest place between the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent. Though it is extremely peaceful due to the barrier and those twelve Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows, the laws and powers are the strongest here. This is precisely the best time for her to refine the Xuanhuang Stone and breakthrough to Sword Saint.

Anyway, it’s impossible to receive a powerful inheritance. Since she had nothing to do, Mu Hanyan began to continue refining that Xuanhuang Stone.

Time quietly passed, and everyone’s mental state was clear and vacant, unaware of how much time had gone by.

However, many had a mysterious halo appear around them, strikingly similar to the light emitted from the Guardian of the Gods’ tombstone. Their movements seemed to merge with the rhythm of heaven and earth.

Clearly, those who ultimately receive the inheritance will be born among these people.

To Mu Hanyan’s relief, apart from Dantai Changqing, Wei Xiaotian, and Shao Chengxiong, three saints and three Holy Court elites, there were more than twenty descendants of the Guardian of the Gods from various countries, including Huayue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe, Tang Bufan, Yue Fanchen, and even Qu the Godman. That meant at least six of them might receive the inheritance, possibly more.

Ye Lanfeng was not among them, but Mu Hanyan was not regretful because she knew that he, like herself, had an extraordinary origin and didn’t need such inheritance. In fact, such inheritance was unworthy of him.

The Xuanhuang Stone in her hand was almost fully refined, and her strength was just a step away from ascending to the Sword Saint Realm!

Mu Hanyan cleared her mind of distractions and prepared to exert all her effort to break through the final bottleneck.

”Boom” Just as this moment came, a sudden loud noise reached her ears, and the entire graveyard shook. Mu Hanyan staggered, almost falling to the ground.

The others were less fortunate, having been in a vacant state without any preparation, and they all fell to the ground one by one.

Only Ye Lanfeng, who had already given up trying upon realizing he couldn’t receive the inheritance, remained standing like Mu Hanyan.

An unexpected change occurred, and he flew to Mu Hanyan’s side, holding her hand with a solemn expression.

”What’s wrong?”

”What happened?” People shouted in horror as they opened their eyes.

They had witnessed the strength of the graveyard barrier firsthand. The fact that they were being shaken and tumbled while within the barrier clearly spelled trouble.

Zhuang Ping’an and the others instinctively turned their gaze to Mu Hanyan, almost as if it was their innate reaction to running into trouble.

Seeing Mu Hanyan’s gaze turning past the graveyard toward the opposite direction of the North Abyss Misty Plain, they too turned around, their faces changing dramatically.

Beyond the graveyard lay endless void, known to be the chasm between the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent. Though it was dangerous and threatening, it previously seemed calm, leading few to pay attention. But now, the once calm void was filled with dark currents like waves in a storm, but violent thousands upon thousands of times.

Every black air wave rose thousands of feet high, seemingly ready to devour everything. If such a storm occurred on the Holy Court Continent, the entire continent would likely be engulfed and shattered.

”What...what is this?” Despite their unwavering hearts, people still felt fear when faced with such a terrifying sight that seemed capable of destroying the entire continent, their voices trembling slightly.

”This is called a Void Storm, even more terrifying than the Desolate Storm in the North Abyss Misty Plain.” Ye Lanfeng paused, his face heavy with gravity, ”I think we should leave.”

”What?” At first, his statement didn’t surprise them, as it was anticipated. But hearing the latter part of his sentence, everyone was suddenly shocked.

”The existence of the Heavenly Curtain not only serves to separate the Divine Continent but also to block the Void Storm. Once it erupts, the entire Heavenly Curtain will be troubled, and the Guardian of the Gods’ tomb placed at its edge will bear the brunt. Although the barrier will protect the graveyard and the ancient one’s inheritance from damage, we, including myself, will potentially die.” Ye Lanfeng glanced at the endless darkness in the void, along with the violent and chaotic storm, and spoke to everyone.

Listening to his words, everyone felt disheartened. If not even Ye Lanfeng could guarantee survival against the Void Storm’s impact, how could they?

”Lord Ye, is there really no way?” After a moment of silence, someone couldn’t help but ask. It had been difficult enough to survive the life-and-death traps of the North Abyss Misty Plain and cross the Heavenly Curtain to get here, making it hard for them to accept giving up.

”There might be a way, but with our strength, we can’t achieve it.” As he spoke, Ye Lanfeng instinctively glanced at Shao Chengxiong.

This time, he harbored no ulterior motives, simply glanced unconsciously, but because everyone was watching him expectantly, they caught his gaze.

Evidently, there was a solution, likely involving the strange and mysterious arts from the Holy Court’s secret skills, requiring several saints to act together. Sadly, Shao Chengxiong was too engrossed in his cultivation of the Sword Dao, neglecting other practices and unable to assist.

The others glanced at Shao Chengxiong, secretly sighing.

The method Ye Lanfeng spoke of was likely even more challenging than breaking through the barrier earlier. With Shao Chengxiong unable to contribute, and the Void Storm approaching, Mu Hanyan plainly had no time to delve into the Holy Court’s secret skill.

Due to the graveyard barrier incident, Shao Chengxiong was already deeply ashamed, and their gaze made him even more embarrassed.

”Lanfeng, why not give it a try?” Shao Chengxiong mustered the courage to speak, though this time he dared not boast.

”A single attempt should be feasible.” Mu Hanyan added.

Although she could not receive any powerful inheritance herself, it was regrettable for her companions to give up after making it here, and her own advancement had reached the critical point. Giving up now would mean waiting indefinitely for another opportunity.

Moreover, she could assess just how difficult the method Ye Lanfeng proposed was, if Shao Chengxiong was indeed holding them back and whether there was truly no chance left.

”Okay then, one attempt, only one.” Ye Lanfeng couldn’t refuse Mu Hanyan’s request and weighed that trying once posed little risk; even if they failed, they had ample time to escape safely, so he nodded.

Soon, four saints took their positions at the four corners of the graveyard and drew their longswords simultaneously.

Their left hands flashed swiftly through sword techniques, and together they unleashed a sword slash.

This slash was unleashed without reservation, and four sword lights flickered, seemingly tearing the heaven and earth apart, enough to cut through the endless void itself.

Beneath the sword power, everyone’s mental state was greatly shaken, nearly buckling from their feet and falling again.

The four sword lights met in midair, causing everyone’s expression to change, secretly wondering whether the terrifying impact from these colliding sword lights might reduce the Guardian of the Gods’ graveyard to ruins?
