As Master Ye You had expected, Guye Jing’s attention fell on Zhang Ruochen.

Just as Master Ye You was secretly mobilizing his spiritual power and preparing to escape, he heard the Crone from the Rāhu Mountains say, “Zhang Ruochen, didn’t you say that we have the closest relationship? Why didn’t you tell me that you came to the Fane of Origin alone? You know, this hurts the hearts of others a lot.”

Master Ye You was stunned. What was going on?

Why was the Crone’s tone so resentful?

Zhang Ruochen said, “We were indeed allies. But when I was targeted by the major forces in the House of Enchanteurs and the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt on Hoth, why didn’t I see your aunt Guye Jing coming to help me?”

Guye Jing could hear the coldness in Zhang Ruochen’s tone. It was completely different from before. At least he would pretend to be affectionate friends with her before.

The Seven-Armed Elder crawled out from the depths of the sand. His eyes were thickly bloodshot, and he glared at Guye Jing fiercely, but he didn’t dare to act rashly because he was afraid.

He looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Senior, this Crone has stolen my treasure. You can’t just ignore her. You have to ask the deities to help and suppress her.”

Guye Jing was slightly shocked. She released her spiritual power and sensed carefully. As expected, she felt the raw power left by a deity in the nearby sea area.

Could it be that Zhang Ruochen had already invited the god of the Xue Jue Family to the Fane of Origin?

Master Ye You slapped his forehead heavily. How could he forget that the god of the Xue Jue Family was nearby? Why was he afraid of a little Crone?

Master Ye You walked over with a righteous face and said, “Master, if you want to start a war, just tell us. Are we afraid of the Rāhu Mountains now?”

On the other side, Guye Jing burst into laughter with her slender waist trembling slightly, with the beauty to topple all living things. She said, “What kind of nonsense are they calling you? Why did you take two old weirdos as your followers and disciples?”

“Since I took him as my disciple, his business is my business. Guye Jing, if you don’t want us to become enemies, you must return the Aromatic Fungus to me,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Seven-Armed Elder was not too touched. Zhang Ruochen wanted the Aromatic Fungus, most likely for himself. How could he offend Guye Jing and the Rāhu Mountains for him?

The Seven-Armed Elder knew that Zhang Ruochen and Guye Jing had an ambiguous relationship that was impossible to unravel.

Guye Jing looked even more resentful. She snorted. “You’re going to turn against me for an old monster and an Aromatic Fungus? Are you really so heartless?”

Zhang Ruochen stood with his sword in hand. He looked calm as if Lord Ming was actually nearby.

“It’s just a broken mushroom. What’s so rare about it? With my cultivation, I don’t need it anymore. I’ll return it to you as it is.”

Gu Shizhen was extremely angry. She took out the Aromatic Fungus and threw it over.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Aromatic Fungus from the air and threw it to the Seven-Armed Elder.

The Seven-Armed Elder’s wrinkled face froze. He took the Aromatic Fungus without thinking, and there was a complicated expression on his face as he said, “This…”

As someone who had always been shrewd, he was struck speechless.

This was the Aromatic Fungus. It was a precious treasure. If Zhang Ruochen wanted it for himself, who would dare to refute him? Even if the Seven-Armed Elder was not convinced, he could only accept this loss.

However, Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate to offend Guye Jing and the Rāhu Mountains. He took it back for him and even handed it to him personally.

This touched the Seven-Armed Elder, who had always been unfaithful.

“It’s impossible for Zhang Ruochen not to see through my unfaithfulness, but he still can tolerate me. He must know the Aromatic Fungus’s true value, but he can still get it back for me. Perhaps joining the Xue Jue Family is not a bad choice.”

As he had been a wandering cultivator for over 20,000 years, he had never been willing to join any major forces. He had even refused the invitation of the deities because the Seven-Armed Elder did not believe in any major force, let alone the deities.

In his opinion, every cultivator in the world was selfish.

Zhang Ruochen might be selfish, but the Seven-Armed Elder had followed him for so long, and he could see that Zhang Ruochen was not stingy with the cultivators who followed him.

The Seven-Armed Elder could see that Zhang Ruochen differed from the Infernal Court cultivators. This youngster was a man with feelings and grand ambitions.

As long as such a person didn’t die, he would undoubtedly have extraordinary achievements in the future.

“Thank you, senior.”

After a long time, the Seven-Armed Elder put away the Aromatic Fungus and bowed deeply to Zhang Ruochen.

This voluntary bow represented everything.

Master Ye You didn’t know that the Seven-Armed Elder’s state of mind had significantly changed, but he was shocked by Guye Jing’s behavior. Was Zhang Ruochen so charming that the successor of the Rāhu Mountains would take the initiative and return the Aromatic Fungus to him?

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had actually returned the Aromatic Fungus to the Seven-Armed Elder.

“It seems good to follow Zhang Ruochen. At least I don’t have to worry about the treasures I found being taken away by him. Moreover, I can use the power of the Xue Jue Family to deter enemies,” Master Ye You thought to himself.

“Let’s go!”

Zhang Ruochen stared at Guye Jing deeply. He then turned around and prepared to leave.

The most important thing now was to meet Ji Fanxin as soon as possible. It was good to find the Canon of Origin. If he couldn’t, he also needed to leave the Fane of Origin as quickly as possible.

After all, the deities of the Heavenly Realm and Infernal Court could arrive at any time.

Master Ye You hurriedly put away the Divine Corpse.

Swoosh

A red shadow flashed past them, and Guye Jing appeared beside Zhang Ruochen to explain to him, “You were the one who came out to confront Bai Qing’er in the House of Enchanteurs of Hoth. How can you blame me for not helping you? Besides, you were hit by the Arrow of Deva Path shortly after you appeared. I didn’t have time to respond.”

“And the one who attacked you during the small operation of Oort was just a Lan Ying. You can deal with him without a problem. Is there a need for others to attack?”

“You, Zhang Ruochen, are a genius of the Yuanhui period. It would be best if you had the generosity of the Yuanhui class. I have already returned the Aromatic Fungus. Don’t you understand how important you are? Why are you still angry now?”

Guye Jing pouted and gently punched Zhang Ruochen’s chest with her tender fist.

If it had been the indifferent and cold Guye Jing, perhaps Zhang Ruochen would have fallen out with her and never crossed paths with her again.

However, this delicate and playful Guye Jing appeared, making it difficult for Zhang Ruochen to be angry with her.

The original grudge had dissipated by a lot.

Zhang Ruochen stopped walking and said, “You owe me more than one stalk of Aromatic Fungus.”

“You mean the soul power?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded.

Guye Jing smiled beautifully and said, “You have saved my life. I will definitely return the soul power I owe you. But this shouldn’t be done in the Fane of Origin. If I give you my soul power now, my cultivation and combat power will drop drastically. How can I do what we need to do together?”

Zhang Ruochen had already guessed that Guye Jing must have something important to tell him.

Now, she had finally said it!

Zhang Ruochen asked, “What do you mean by the thing that we need to accomplish together?”

Guye Jing’s expression became serious. She said, “Before I came to the Fane of Origin, a deity from the Rāhu Mountains told me a secret.”

Seven-Armed Elder, Master Ye You, and Xue Tu pretended to be vigilant of the surroundings, but they had all pricked up their ears. They didn’t dare to miss a single word Guye Jing said.

Guye Jing said, “The gods found records about the Fane of Origin in an ancient iron book found within the Rāhu Mountains.”

“The iron book said that the Fane of Origin was once glorious, respected by all the worlds and worshipped by hundreds of millions of races. In short, it was very powerful, and its influence was as strong as the Celestial Palace and Fane of Destiny now.”

“It also mentions that the Fane of Origin had three temple-guarding Divine Artifacts, the Heaven Flute, the Earth Sparrow, and the Star Sword. Each of them was extremely powerful and could pierce through a world or even destroy a galaxy.”

“With the disappearance of the Fane of Origin, the whereabouts of the three Divine Artifacts had become unknown.”

“Therefore, the deities speculate that the three Divine Artifacts are most likely in the ruins of the Fane of Origin.”

“Now, the top elites of the major forces have gone to the center of the Fane of Origin to search for the Canon of Origin. We do not need to join in the fun, but if by chance we can find a Divine Artifact, then wouldn’t it be a great harvest?”

Seven-Armed Elder, Master Ye You, and Xue Tu were all excited. Their blood was boiling. A Divine Artifact, and also one which was mentioned in the legends. Wouldn’t the vast universe allow them to roam as they like if they could find one?

Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, was much calmer, “Why did you feel the need to share this secret with me?” he continued. “Also, even if there are really three exceptional Divine Artifacts buried in the ruins of the Fane of Origin, it would be challenging for us to find them with our cultivation.”

“Actually, before I came to find you, I had already locked onto an area. It’s very likely that the Earth Sparrow, one of the three Divine Artifacts, is hidden there,” Guye Jing said. “But there are a lot of powerful Dimensional Array remnants in that area. I had tried to break through twice but had failed each time.”

“That’s why you thought of me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Guye Jing complained, “You came to the Fane of Origin alone. How could you have thought about others?”

Because of the news of the Divine Artifact, Xue Tu’s previous depression had disappeared completely. He walked over and tried to persuade them. “My seniors, please don’t fight among yourselves at such a critical time.”

Guye Jing did not reject the word “Senior.” Instead, she gave Xue Tu an appreciating smile.

However, Blood Butcher felt a chill on his neck as if someone had held a sword there. He thought Guye Jing was hiding a knife in her smile. He quickly restrained himself and said, “You two have important matters to attend to.”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, “I have more important matters to attend to.”

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was tempted by the Divine Artifact.

However, he knew that time was of the essence. He had to find Ji Fanxin first. Since he had invited her to the Infernal Court, he had to send her back unharmed.

Master Ye You hurried over and said, “Master, what is more important than finding the Divine Artifact?”

“Finding the source of the flute sound,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Seven-Armed Elder suddenly realized that he was going to find the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.

The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers seemed much more important to Zhang Ruochen than the little Crone of the Rāhu Mountains.

There was no other solution!

Although Ji Fanxin had changed into Bai Qing’er’s appearance, they had all traveled for a considerable distance. With the Seven-Armed Elder’s shrewdness, how could he not see through her true identity?

Guye Jing looked thoughtful and said, “I seem to have heard the sound of a flute in the area where the Earth Sparrow might be hidden. The sound of the flute is delightful but fleeting because it sometimes sounds near but other times far away.”

“Are you serious?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Guye Jing put her hands behind her back and said, “Our Saint Souls are connected. You should be able to sense whether I’m telling the truth or not.”

…

Outside the Southern Sword Realm, at the edge of the chaotic area.

In the pitch-black space of the universe, there was a dazzling mass of light floating in the air.

A deity of the angels, Sarathiel, stood in the center of the mass of light. He mobilized his divine force and activated the array towers that were located in eight different directions.

Whoosh

Whoosh

…

The array towers were as tall as mountains. They lighted up layer by layer, releasing countless Dimensional Inscriptions interweaving into an incomparably large dimensional teleportation array.

The dimensional ripples released by the arrays caused even the space thousands of miles away to quiver slightly.

“Once the dimensional teleportation array is activated, the deities of the Infernal Court hiding nearby will definitely sense it. Time is of the essence, so I have to bring the deities of the Heavenly Realm here as soon as possible.”

The Divinity Source of Sarathiel flew out of the sea of Qi and shone with a brilliance that was as bright and scorching as a star.

He used the Divinity Source to activate the Dimensional Array. Instantly, the eight array towers began to rotate slowly.
