Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 19 Exquisite Relics, The Yan Family

When the founding emperor of Yue Kingdom was young, he once saved a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Although the Foundation Establishment cultivator eventually succumbed to his injuries, he revealed a lot of common knowledge about the cultivation world and the reason for his calamity before his death.

According to the cultivator, he discovered a large spiritual vein and encountered a spider demon beast during his exploration. It took him a great deal of effort to kill it.

Later, he discovered an ancient teleportation array nearby and the remains of a cultivator who had passed away sitting next to the teleportation array.

Just as the cultivator was about to retrieve the remains storage bag, he was attacked by another spider demon beast that had returned. Although he eventually escaped with the remains storage bag, he had already suffered a fatal injury.

In addition, the Foundation Establishment cultivator left behind a lot of spiritual stones and materials, as well as cultivation techniques passed down from the cultivation world, some of which were his own and some of which were from his remains.

Unfortunately, the founding emperor of the Yue Kingdom did not possess spiritual roots and was unable to embark on the path of cultivation.

At that time, the aftermath of the turmoil in the cultivation world also affected the dynastic changes of mortals, so the founding emperor of Yue took advantage of the situation and established the Yue Kingdom.

After achieving fame and success, the Emperor of Yue couldn't help but recall the immortal opportunities he had once received. He had tried all the cultivation techniques he could understand, but there was still a portion of the cultivation techniques inherited from the storage bag of remains that he couldn't comprehend.

So he summoned old scholars in the Yue Kingdom who loved studying ancient languages ​​and translated that part of the cultivation method. Among them was the incomplete "Mysterious Yin Manual".

In addition, there was a suicide note and a map.

When the jade inscription left by the founding emperor of Yue reached this point, Chen Liang understood everything.

Clearly, the remains of that cultivator were Ji Xuan, who had escaped from the Chaotic Star Sea to Tiannan before his death, and the "Mysterious Yin Technique" was passed down to the Yue Kingdom's royal family through that dying Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The founding emperor of the Yue Kingdom had no spiritual root, and the "Mysterious Yin Technique" could not help him embark on the path of cultivation, so he completely gave up hope.

However, he still placed the spirit stones, materials, and cultivation techniques he had obtained into the secret chamber where Chen Liang was now, and left some clues, with the aim of giving his descendants the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.

Up until the generation of Emperor Yue, who possessed spiritual roots, Emperor Yue's path to immortality was first blocked by the Seven Sects' prohibition. Then, he discovered the "Mysterious Yin Technique" inheritance left by his ancestors in the royal library. With this, he secretly embarked on the path of cultivation and founded the Black Fiend Sect. He secretly captured rogue cultivators and absorbed their blood, flesh, essence, and soul power to cultivate the "Mysterious Yin Technique".

The suicide note and map left behind by Ji Xuan were also in front of Chen Liang. Chen Liang scanned them with his divine sense and found that the text was indeed incomprehensible.

Fortunately, the corresponding translation was right next to the suicide note, so Chen Liang wasn't worried about not being able to understand Ji Xuan's suicide note.

The suicide note not only mentioned Ji Xuan's origins, but also recorded how Ji Xuan joined forces with his senior brother Ji Yin to plot against his master Xuan Gu, and how he was later chased by Ji Yin, eventually ending up in this unknown world of Tiannan Continent.

In addition, Ji Xuan demanded that those who received his inheritance find a way to take revenge on Ji Yin, and even explained how to release the Xuan Gu again.

That map was the inner star sea map of the Chaotic Star Sea, which marked the location where the Xuan Bone was sealed.

At the end of his will, Jixuan asked the person who inherited his legacy to pass on a message to Xuangu if they had the chance.

"Old man, at least I didn't die at your hands."

Seeing this, Chen Liang's expression became somewhat strange. At this moment, he genuinely wanted to know how furious Xuan Gu would be if he heard or saw those words.

After putting the will and map left by Ji Xuan into his storage bag, and destroying the jade book and the translated version of the will left by the founding emperor of Yue, Chen Liang turned and left the secret room.

As for those spirit stones and materials, after hundreds of years, coupled with the lack of preservation methods for mortals, the spiritual energy in them has long since been reduced to less than one-tenth. Chen Liang doesn't care about these things.

However, it was precisely because of the spiritual energy leaked from these spirit stones and materials that Ji Xuan's relics were preserved intact, so in a way, they were made the best use of everything.

Furthermore, since the founding emperor of the Yue Kingdom was able to find an old scholar who studied ancient languages ​​to translate the ancient language of Luanxinghai for him, there should be a dictionary of the ancient language of Luanxinghai that has been passed down.

Moreover, it was very likely that it was stored in this royal library, so Chen Liang strolled around while carefully searching with his divine sense.

Before long, he actually found the ancient dictionary of the Chaotic Star Sea. The name was also very straightforward, simply called "Star Sea Dictionary".

With this, Chen Liang will be able to learn the language and writing system of the Chaotic Star Sea before heading there, which should save him a lot of trouble.

By the time Chen Liang finished his work, it was already dawn, and Huangfeng Valley had already dispatched troops to deal with the Yue Emperor's affairs. This time, the Yue royal family was in considerable trouble.

However, Chen Liang didn't pity them. They were already lucky enough, yet they tried to get more, and they deserved their misfortune.

After discussing the matter of the Yue Emperor with his fellow disciples in Huangfeng Valley, Chen Liang rode the Wind Spirit Shuttle away from Yue Capital, heading straight for the second known "big gift package" within the Yue Kingdom.

The Wind Spirit Shuttle's normal flight speed was already close to that of a Core Formation cultivator, but even so, it took Chen Liang several days to fly from Yuejing to the vicinity of Yanjiabao.

When passing by Yanjiabao, Chen Liang thought for a moment and decided to have the Wind Spirit Shuttle turn around and head towards Yanjiabao.

The Yan family is the most renowned Core Formation family in the Yue Kingdom, and Yan Family Fortress is their main base. In the eyes of low-level rogue cultivators, they are as unapproachable as the Seven Sects.

But the Yan family doesn't see it that way; the Yan family of today is no longer the glorious family it once was.

Back then, the Yan family ancestor's cultivation was already close to the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Realm. Because he was frustrated within the Ghost Spirit Sect, he took advantage of the seven sects' independence to establish his family in the Yue Kingdom.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. After the passing of the Yan family's ancestor, the Yan family went on a downward spiral.

Now, Yan Lei, the most powerful cultivator in the Yan family and the current lord of the Yan family, is only a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator. The Yan family can no longer live up to its reputation as the number one Core Formation family in the Yue Kingdom.

In order to revitalize the family, Yan Lei even decided to send Yan Ruyan, the only cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root in the family for nearly two hundred years and the only hope for the revitalization of the Yan family, to the Hidden Moon Sect.

This should have been a win-win collaboration. The Hidden Moon Sect gained a cultivator with a promising Nascent Soul cultivation potential. Meanwhile, the Yan family could sit back and wait for Yan Ruyan to become a Core Formation cultivator or even a Nascent Soul cultivator, which would bring them substantial benefits and revitalize the family.

However, Yan Lei never expected that such a win-win situation would be maliciously sabotaged by a few cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect.

Seven years ago, on the eve of the Yanyue Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony, the Yanyue Sect held a grand internal competition as per tradition.

During that grand competition, a female Foundation Establishment cultivator, radiating precious light, used underhanded means to ambush Yan Ruyan, who had recently established her Foundation Establishment but was also radiating precious light. This was because the female Foundation Establishment cultivator was jealous of Yan Ruyan's Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude and talent in weapon crafting.

Yan Ruyan suffered a mental and physical injury as a result and fell into a long coma.

Afterwards, Jin Yu, the ancestor of the female Foundation Establishment cultivator's lineage, who was also the future Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect and Nangong Wan's senior sister, simply told the female Foundation Establishment cultivator to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion, without even setting a specific time limit, making no attempt to conceal her protectiveness.

However, her cultivation level is already close to the False Infant Realm, making her the most likely person in the Hidden Moon Sect to successfully receive the Infant and take over the position of Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect.

No one in the Hidden Moon Sect dared to oppose this so-called Golden Jade Fairy, and so Yan Ruyan's matter was left unresolved.

At that time, the elixir that could revive Yan Ruyan could only be found in two places.

One such place is the Wang family's territory, which has been occupied by the Wang family for generations in a ghostly and gloomy land, where various miraculous medicines that enhance or heal the soul are abundant.

If the Wang family is willing to lend a helping hand, Yan Ruyan's injuries will be a minor matter.

However, the Yan family and the Wang family are sworn enemies, so this is naturally impossible.

Another place is the Black Dragon Pool in the Crimson Forbidden Land, which also produces miraculous medicines that can heal the soul.

Just as the Yan family cultivators within the Hidden Moon Sect were eager to gather herbs for their young lady in the Crimson Forbidden Land, the other cultivators from the Golden Jade lineage jumped out.

They not only used various means to steal the spots for Yan family cultivators to go to the Crimson Forbidden Land, but also openly declared that any of the seven major sects who dared to help the Yan family gather herbs would be an enemy of the Golden Jade lineage.

The Qi Refining cultivators of the seven major sects naturally did not want to offend a future Nascent Soul ancestor, while the Yan family cultivators could not enter the Crimson Forbidden Land.

And so, the Yan family, the most prestigious family at the first Core Formation stage, couldn't even find a elixir to save their young lady.

However, Chen Liang happened to have such a precious medicine on hand.
