Chapter 532: Chapter 335: The Ancient Divine King! The Revival of the Evil God!

An unknown Ancient Great God.

His tier was even above that of Liu Venerate.

The divine artifacts under his command should logically be Ancient Old God Artifacts.

Yet, this object turned out to be a creation of the current era?

"This object possesses spirit and has indeed reached the tier of divine items,"

Lin Yan said with a frown, "Observing its every word and action, looking down upon all beings, it belittles the contemporary gods..."

"The artifact’s internal forging principles and the directions of its patterns originate from Beishan Holy Land of that era."

Duke Murky Spirit paused, then said, "To the north of the Taixuan Mountain Range, there once were three great Sacred Lands. Now, it seems, they have all completely fallen to the eerie night! Among them, Beishan Holy Land, with which I had dealings, was the one to whom I entrusted the Ancient Divine Bow..."

Subsequently, they heard Duke Murky Spirit explain in detail.

To the north of the Taixuan Mountain Range, it was quite prosperous back in the day.

While to the south of the Taixuan Mountain Range, which is the very land under Lin Yan’s feet at this moment, remained a desolate wasteland.

And in the "Refining Hall" of Beishan Holy Land, with profound craftsmanship, there was a master of artifact refining who discovered a method of artifact refining from the Ancient Era using array runes to inscribe artifacts.

But not every array rune was suitable for the refining of artifacts.

It involved the array itself, the essence of the runes, and the material of the artifact’s body, as well as the corresponding generative and destructive cycles of the Five Elements, and also involved the use of the magic artifact, among other aspects.

Later on, after two generations, they listed twelve types of arrays and runes that could be used for artifact refining.

By the fifth generation, the head of the Refining Hall had an elder who, based on the similarities between those twelve patterns, created a completely new artifact refining pattern!

This was a new creation, evolving from ancient methods!

And at this very moment, the pattern inscribed inside this black pot was precisely the newly created pattern from the Refining Hall of Beishan Holy Land from those years!

"So, it isn’t truly an artifact of the Ancient Great God?"

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked this.

"Later generations imitating ancient artifacts is not strange. After all, the Divine Bow behind you is also a modern imitation,"

Duke Murky Spirit frowned and said, "But I distinctly remember that this object had already been destroyed over four thousand years ago... and the Refining Hall of Beishan Holy Land created the ’new method of array rune refining’ some three thousand eight hundred years ago."

Lin Yan understood what Duke Murky Spirit meant.

This so-called Great Evil Divine Artifact had already been destroyed; how could it be possibly imitated hundreds or thousands of years later?

Moreover, within this Evil Thought Treasure Pot, a spirit had been born, and among ’divine items,’ its tier was certainly extremely high.

At the very least, it was far superior to the Divine Bow on Lin Yan’s back at the moment.

"It doesn’t make any sense..."

Even Duke Murky Spirit, at the moment, seemed utterly perplexed, muttering twice before continuing, "Even if the Great Evil Divine Artifact wasn’t destroyed, how could it possibly include the imitation of its ’artifact spirit’? Since the onset of the eerie night, later generations have occasionally refined treasures that entered the tier of ’divine items,’ but at least before my era, the divine items of later generations had never given birth to ’spiritual wisdom’!"

"The same is true in this day and age,"

Lin Lei hesitated before speaking.

He had always been fond of clever mechanisms, secret tomes, wooden puppets, and the like, so he took great interest in refining artifacts.

During his time in Prefecture City, he often read related books and sought advice from the elders of the Refining Hall multiple times.

Now, even though his own skill in artifact refining was still very elementary, he had learned quite a lot about related knowledge.

He looked at Duke Murky Spirit beside him and then at Lin Yan, speaking softly, "The Sacred Land’s scriptures provide detailed descriptions of Ancient Divine Artifacts."

"Fully sentient divine artifacts, even in the era of the Ancient Old Gods, are extraordinary divine items, more precious than the usual Old God Artifacts!"

As Lin Lei spoke, Duke Murky Spirit nodded in agreement, turning his gaze to Lin Yan.

"It’s like the Blessed Land you have inherited from Lord Qingling, the highest town object being the Golden Lotus... but it is divided into nine town objects, which are the petals of the Golden Lotus,"

Duke Murky Spirit said, "People call it the ’Pure Land town object’! But as the highest town object of the Golden Lotus, it is far superior to those nine petals, which is evident..."

Lin Yan knew what he meant.

There are different tiers for town objects.

Naturally, there are also different tiers for divine items.

Lin Lei paused, then continued, "Based on the sparse clues found in various ancient ruins to deduce, during the era of the Ancient Old Gods, there were various different names for such self-aware divine artifacts, which were relatively complex."

"And within the lineage of Strange Books from South Mountain Sacred Land, the earliest person who compiled the ’Heaven and Earth Strange Books’ named these self-aware divine artifacts as Divine Spiritual Artifacts!"

"According to the current records we have, the Human Clan has produced ’Divine Artifacts,’ but to this date, no ’Divine Spiritual Artifacts’ have been created!"

Lin Lei explained this, then added, "The term ’Divine Spiritual Artifact’ should have appeared more than a thousand years ago; it is normal for Duke Murky Spirit not to recognize it."

Upon hearing this, Duke Murky Spirit was rather displeased, scoffing, "Later generations, casually fixing an unimpressive name and not following the ancient nomenclature, how could I know of it?"

"Today, I am going to say that this object should be called an ’alive divine artifact’! If this term gets passed down, are you going to claim that since ancient times till today, whether it be divine beings, evildoers, or the Human Clan, all have been ignorant?"

"Randomly designating a name and implying that I am short-sighted, hmph..."

Duke Murky Spirit was quite disgruntled and, in an instant, burrowed into the Soul Detention Decree and did not show himself again.
