Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Hope

”A deceased daughter?”

Li Yun and the others’ expressions slightly changed, and their gazes instinctively fell on Bai Hun.

”Tianming used to live a joyful life with his wife and daughter, but the happiness was short-lived. Years ago, Emperor Ling, in his effort to suppress the Ling Realm, massacred countless rebels opposing Divine Clan authority, and tragically, Tianming’s wife and four-year-old daughter were among the slain. He later came to the guild to seek my help. Alas...” Bai Hun sighed deeply, the memories of those events stirring his heartache.

”They didn’t even spare a four-year-old girl?” Li Yun’s face twisted with rage, an anger rising uncontrollably within him.

”Emperor Ling is utterly inhumane!” Qiao Sanfeng growled through gritted teeth.

”Who would have imagined that the first-class assassin revered across the Heavenly Realm endured such a heart-wrenching story?” An elder lamented, feeling sorrowful for Tianming’s plight.

”Under the authority of the Divine Clan, we too are but powerless pawns.” Bai Hun sighed in helplessness.

”President, what does this have to do with Tianming seeking out Wind Shadow? Moreover, this happened decades ago,” Shi Potian asked curiously.

”You’re perceptive. It indeed has something to do with Wind Shadow.” Bai Hun glanced at Shi Potian and said, ”Tianming’s daughter had a rare physique. Though only four years old, her soul power was remarkably strong. Even I was shocked at the time. If she were still alive, she would have surely been an Artifact Refining prodigy, her aptitude no less extraordinary than Ying’er’s.”

”After Ling’er’s death, Tianming discovered that her soul had not fully dissipated. He went to great lengths to preserve a strand of her soul, hoping that someone with immense soul power could help reconstruct it. But such a feat requires an incredibly skilled Alchemist. Alas, I am merely an Artifact Refiner, powerless to save her life.”

”The Heavenly Realm’s formidable Alchemists are centered in Shengxian Village. Unfortunately, Shengxian Village fell into disarray because of the matter involving Master Guigu, leading to its Alchemists scattering far and wide.”

”Tianming must have learned of Lord Feng’s status as a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner. That’s why he sought out Lord Feng for help. After all, we cannot fathom the Divine Grade realm’s possibilities.”

”I see.” Shi Potian and the others nodded slightly.

Tianming’s past deeply moved them; their hearts were conflicted with sympathy and righteous fury.

For decades, Tianming had never given up, all for the resurrection of his four-year-old daughter.

Yet, even such a towering and stalwart father ultimately remained helpless in saving his beloved daughter’s life.

”Brother Tianming, don’t wallow in despair. Ling’er’s matter isn’t without hope.” Just as Tianming fell into despondency, Feng Wuchen suddenly infused a glimmer of hope.

Feng Wuchen’s words caused Tianming’s entire body to tremble. He spun around sharply to face Feng Wuchen, grabbing him by the shoulders and demanding, ”Wind Shadow, what did you say? What did you say? Say it again!”

Tianming’s emotions were exceedingly intense, his eyes brimming with nervous anticipation as he stared at Feng Wuchen.

”Brother Tianming, calm yourself first. Ling’er’s soul power is extraordinarily strong, and you even preserved it. This itself proves there’s hope. I might have a solution,” Feng Wuchen stated solemnly.

Do not forget that Feng Wuchen possesses Divine Skills capable of resurrecting the dead—but only if they’ve just passed, with their soul yet to dissipate. With his Divine Skills, Feng Wuchen could bring them back to life.

However, Ling’er had been deceased for decades, rendering Feng Wuchen incapable of directly deploying his resurrection skill.

Yet, Ling’er’s residual soul had been preserved by Tianming, and Feng Wuchen seemed to have conceived a method.

”Wind Shadow! Do you truly have a way? Can you truly bring Ling’er back to life?” Tianming asked with overwhelming excitement, tears of joy streaming down his face.

”Brother Tianming, please don’t get ahead of yourself. Go back first. Wait for me to return from the Heavenly Tomb, then I’ll speak with you. I can’t let them wait too long,” Feng Wuchen said with a calm smile.

”Good, good, good! I’ll wait for you! This is wonderful! Ling’er can be saved!” Tianming, overjoyed, immediately vanished in a flash.

”A strand of soul—perhaps revival is indeed possible,” Feng Wuchen muttered to himself as he walked toward Bai Hun and the others.

The Heavenly Tomb’s entrance lay behind the guild’s rear mountain, utterly sealed off and encased within a potent barrier.

A few minutes later, Bai Hun and the others crossed the barrier and arrived at the secluded valley behind the mountain. The valley was fantastical and peculiar, encircled on all sides by towering peaks, grand and majestic, awe-inspiring in their splendor.

Apart from this, there were also three incredibly terrifying presences.

”Such formidable presences! Three experts of the Heavenly Deity Realm guarding the Heavenly Tomb—the Refinement Association is truly extraordinary.” Feng Wuchen marveled internally.

As soon as he entered the valley, Feng Wuchen sensed the three powerful energies belonging to experts of the Heavenly Deity Realm.

It didn’t surprise Feng Wuchen that the Refinement Association possessed so many powerful individuals of the Heavenly Deity Realm.

Feng Wuchen understood better than anyone the fearsome influence of Artifact Refiners.

Founded years ago, the Refinement Association had gathered countless forces and experts striving for Divine weapons and mighty treasures, making connections with the association indispensable.

As a result, the Refinement Association boasted exceedingly deep foundations.

”Experts of the Heavenly Deity Realm!” Li Yun frowned deeply, feeling his heart tremble under the oppressive aura.

”What terrifying presences!” The Artifact Refiners’ expressions grew tense and somewhat panicked, as the experts of the Heavenly Deity Realm were overwhelming in their formidable aura.

Feng Wuchen, however, remained entirely composed.

As Artifact Refiners, their sensory abilities surpassed ordinary individuals, enabling them to perceive the sheer terror of these presences.

Nonetheless, these three terrifying energies vanished instantaneously once the group entered the barrier.

”Do not worry—they are the Heavenly Tomb’s Guardians. They won’t harm us. Come, the entrance to the tomb is just ahead,” Bai Hun said with a calm smile, reassuring Shi Potian and the others.

The entrance to the Heavenly Tomb resembled an hourglass-shaped light-blue array. Two glow screens mirrored each other, one above and one below, while a swirling blue energy in the middle distorted space—a particularly ingenious sealing formation.

”What an intricate sealing formation! It encompasses Yin and Yang, with heaven and earth inverted, and integrates the Illusion Array. Truly fascinating,” Feng Wuchen exclaimed in wonder.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hun and the three elders froze in shock, their eyes widening as they stared at Feng Wuchen.

”Lord Feng can discern the intricacies of the sealing formation at a glance! This was set up by our ancestors, and even the Array Masters of the Heavenly Realm couldn’t unravel its mysteries. Yet Lord Feng perceives it immediately. Incredible!” Bai Hun thought, overwhelmed by disbelief.

”It’s no wonder Lord Feng is incomparably extraordinary, able to uncover the marvels of the sealing formation with merely a glimpse.” Yang Qianxiao gazed at Feng Wuchen in astonishment.

”It appears Lord Feng has studied formations as well. Just as he described, this sealing formation involves inverted heaven and earth paired with the Illusion Array.” Bai Hun said fervently, amazed that Feng Wuchen was also proficient in formations.

”I’ve studied a little under my master—not entirely well-versed,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

Studied a little? It seemed more like mastery!

Ordinary Array Masters would be unable to comprehend this formation, and yet Feng Wuchen required but one glance to explain its structure and even recognize the integrated Illusion Array.

Though Feng Wuchen played down his expertise, Bai Hun and the others could hardly believe him.

For Array Masters unable to detect the brilliance of this formation, Feng Wuchen’s elucidation proved his remarkable depth and skill in formations, rivaling even the most accomplished Array Masters.

Suppressing their shock, Bai Hun said, ”Lord Feng, please follow me.”
