Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1775: Chapter 1775: The Whereabouts of Huayue and Others

Although those pieces of metal had been compressed into shapeless masses, piling together like a heap of scrap iron, Mu Hanyan recognized them at a glance as the Heavenly Destiny Star Plates obtained from Jing Jianjue. It was precisely because of these Heavenly Destiny Star Plates that Huayue and the others had repeatedly helped Mu Hanyan forcibly enhance her power and repeatedly overcome crises.

How could the Heavenly Destiny Star Plates they carried appear here and end up in Wen Gaoren’s hands? Could it be that they encountered an accident and are no longer among the living? After a brief moment of excitement, Mu Hanyan’s hands and feet went ice-cold, and her mind went blank.

With her brother Mu Hanfeng’s personality, as long as he still had breath, he would never fail to heed her instructions. If something happened to Huayue and Zirong, what would Han Feng do? Mu Hanyan dared not to imagine further.

”Master Priest, what’s wrong?” Wen Gaoren noticed Mu Hanyan’s peculiar behavior and inquired curiously.

”Nothing, nothing. Master Wen, from where did you get this item?” Mu Hanyan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and asked Wen Gaoren.

”Well... actually, I’m not quite sure.” Wen Gaoren thought for a moment, saying somewhat embarrassedly.

”Oh?” Mu Hanyan found it strange. He clearly took out the Heavenly Destiny Star Plates, how could he not know where they came from?

”Several months ago, I set up a space formation, originally intending to open a shortcut to the Little Divine Heaven. Just as I opened a rift, this piece of iron fell out, and then the formation shattered, and the rift closed. Because the time was too brief, I couldn’t clearly see the scene inside, so I’m not certain whether it came from the Little Divine Heaven or from some other space.” Wen Gaoren explained.

”Little Divine Heaven.” Mu Hanyan frowned slightly. From Ye Yi’an’s words, she already knew that the so-called Little Divine Heaven is actually the Cultivation Realm of the Divine Continent.

Unlike the Holy Court Continent where each academy, major royal family, and even some ancient families have their own Cultivation Realms, the Divine Continent has only one Cultivation Realm, which is the Little Divine Heaven.

According to Mu Hanyan’s understanding, the Divine Continent is not stable, not entirely whole, yet not completely separated either. The Five Great Divine Temples each govern five interconnected yet fragmentary continental plates. Moving from the jurisdiction of one temple to another is no easy task. The astonishing thing is that the Little Divine Heaven is seamlessly whole; priests from various temples and continental plates can train within it.

However, entering the Little Divine Heaven is not easy either. One must have the Divine Sky Token issued by a temple to cross the Illusion Realm barrier. This Divine Sky Token is hard to come by—take Feng City Temple, for example, the Master Priest usually gets only one Divine Sky Token every ten years, and it can be used only once, lasting approximately a year. Once the time is up, they will be teleported out of the Little Divine Heaven, waiting another decade.

Even for the Master Priest, this is the case; there’s no need to elaborate for other priests. Many priests with mediocre qualifications may never have the opportunity to train in the Little Divine Heaven in their lifetime.

Because of this reason, some skillful Array Masters or Alchemy Masters would seek their own ways to open shortcuts to the Little Divine Heaven. The temple does not oppose this; anyone who becomes an Array Master or Alchemy Master is invariably an elite priest of a temple. Such attempts and efforts are greatly beneficial to enhancing their abilities, indirectly boosting the temple’s strength.

Mu Hanyan did not expect Wen Gaoren to have such capabilities. Although it was only opening a small rift, it was still remarkable. But unfortunately, that rift quickly closed, and even he couldn’t be certain whether he had opened a shortcut to the Little Divine Heaven or accidentally breached the barrier of another space, so Mu Hanyan could not deduce Huayue and the others’ whereabouts based on this.

”Although I’m unsure what this is, given that it fell from a space rift, it’s definitely extraordinary. Through days of pondering, I’ve discovered that this seems to be several Magic Artifacts linked by a precise alchemy technique, forming a new Magic Artifact with powerful defensive strength, even comparable to a Divine Artifact. However, due to compression by space forces, it took its current form,” Wen Gaoren said somewhat boastfully.

Everyone knows his unique mastery in array formations, even unmatched by the oldest priest family, the Ou Family, in Lingyu City. However, few are aware that he is quite knowledgeable in alchemy techniques too. Sometimes he would even consider that had he chosen the path of alchemy rather than arrays, he could have become a master in that field too.

”You said you connected these Heavenly Destiny Star Plates through alchemy techniques, combining them into a new Magic Artifact?” Mu Hanyan’s mind suddenly brightened, speaking with surprise.

It was at this point she realized a crucial detail; if Huayue and Zirong really encountered an accident in the Void, even if the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate wasn’t damaged, it would have surely dispersed and couldn’t have gathered together. According to Wen Gaoren, these Heavenly Destiny Star Plates had been linked through alchemy techniques, a skill Huayue and the others clearly lacked—only Mu Hanfeng could achieve it. After all, he was one of the Twelve Saints; even if the Holy Master took him as a disciple for exploitation purposes, he would teach him genuine Holy Court Secret Skills. His alchemy skills would undoubtedly be exceptional.

That Mu Hanfeng combined these Heavenly Destiny Star Plates into a powerful defensive Magic Artifact, comparable to a Divine Artifact, was surely to protect Huayue and the others. Their accident was certain, but it may not be the fatal kind she imagined. Recalling Wen Gaoren’s space formation’s intended use, Mu Hanyan speculated they might have reached the Little Divine Heaven.

”Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, what’s that thing?” Wen Gaoren looked at Mu Hanyan, puzzled.

Only then did Mu Hanyan remember that the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate had a different name on the Divine Continent; these star plates were originally referred to as the Five Spirits Life Plate by Ancient Emperor Extreme Hua Guanyu.

”Quickly tell me, isn’t that right? Master Wen, you didn’t make a mistake?” Mu Hanyan certainly wouldn’t explain it to him, she asked urgently.

”How could I make a mistake? Look here at these runes, and here... Despite this person’s alchemy technique being extraordinarily refined to the point I can’t decipher its secrets, I can still feel the distinctive aura waves of a defensive Magic Artifact.” Wen Gaoren pointed at the small runes at the linkage of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plates, speaking to Mu Hanyan.

From his demeanor, it was clear he hadn’t heard of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plates, nor did he seem to care. It’s no surprise; a Ninth-level Divine Priest appears significantly powerful to ordinary folks; however, compared to divine guardian priests like Ancient Emperor Extreme Flower Guanyu, their status is as night and day. He likely has little knowledge about the Holy Court Continent, possibly only knowing its name.
