Chapter 533: Chapter 335: The Ancient Divine King! The Revival of the Evil God! _2

Lin Lei helplessly said, "Ever since returning to High Willow City, Duke Murky Spirit has inexplicably started acting like Lv Tang, throwing tantrums for no good reason, kicking up a fuss..."

Lin Yan somewhat understood and had to explain, "Lord Qingling, in his heyday, had clashed with Liu Venerate! He likely sensed Liu Venerate’s Qi Mechanism, and it disturbed his mind..."

"He had clashed with Liu Venerate?"

Lin Lei couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, "He had such divine prowess during his prime?"

"Looking down on who now?"

Duke Murky Spirit’s voice emanated from the Soul Detention Decree, suddenly letting out a cold laugh.

But then he paused and said, "The Liu Venerate worshipped by this city was born before the Night of Tricks... As for this Great Evil Divine Artifact, perhaps he can provide you with an answer."

Hearing this, Lin Yan’s expression became solemn.

Having found a new method to achieve the Inner Realm Divine Domain, and after stabilizing his foundation, he immediately left the Prefecture City and returned straight to High Willow City.

The reason he was so anxious was because he had two things on his mind.

First was for the Commander.

Lin Yan wanted to return as soon as possible to try and help the Commander suppress the signs of losing control, to hold on until the new method was sufficiently perfected, a day when the Commander could practice his Cultivation.

Even if he failed and perished in practicing the new method, he had at least tried his best, which would leave the Commander without regrets.

However, before his return, the Commander had already been afflicted by the Great Evil Divine Artifact and completely lost control.

For Lin Yan, this was a complete failure.

And most ironically, the main reason for the failure was none other than Lin Yan himself.

"The second reason I returned to High Willow City was for honoring Liu Venerate!"

Lin Yan looked towards the direction of the inner city and slowly said, "With my current Cultivation and bearing the name of the Human Clan’s Saint Master, offering him three sticks of incense... surely that should suffice to stabilize Liu Venerate for a few more years."

"It’s no use."

Duke Murky Spirit said, "Initially, with you as of now, offering him three sticks of incense would indeed stabilize this willow tree for a few years! But now, your reverence for this willow tree has become extremely weak..."

Liu Venerate is the Guardian God of High Willow City, to the people there, akin to the father and mother of heaven and earth.

Lin Yan had also held great reverence for Liu Venerate in the past.

If he hadn’t known the true story, even if Lin Yan achieved the Inner Realm Divine Domain, he would still have respected Liu Venerate.

He was never the type to rise in status and forget past favors.

But this time, in the Prefecture City, while receiving the blessing of the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction, he also came to understand the contracts concerning the Ancient Old Gods.

Liu Venerate was one of the Old Gods who had made a contract with that fallen Ancient Immortal.

However, Liu Venerate’s early choice was, like the other Old Gods, to retreat from the world and hide.

Until he was awakened by Lord Qingling, he had no choice but to reveal himself to the world!

Then later, it was Wutong Divine Mother who provided the Magic Method of ’Incense Fire Wish Power.’

Since then, the city was built surrounding Liu Venerate, and through generations of the Human Clan continuously offering day and night, with the massive power of Incense Fire Wish Power, over many years, finally made Liu Venerate truly become the Guardian God of this city!

Yet the intentions of the ’Old God’ itself, as well as the ’Corruption Thought’ invaded by the Night of Tricks, were still not entirely eradicated.

Thus, over the years, there were often signs of Liu Venerate’s ’Qi Mechanism’ drifting within the city.

And the most concentrated ’Qi Mechanism’ was called ’Divine Intention Qi Seed’!

Liu Venerate’s original intent was never to protect the Human Clan!

Liu Venerate’s true purpose was the source of Tribulation Ash!

The Commander’s loss of control this time was largely due to the Divine Intention Qi Seed collected in the flags of the Observatory... which means the Commander’s death was greatly related to Liu Venerate.

"Ever since learning of the existence of the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction, your reverence for this willow tree has diminished greatly..."

Duke Murky Spirit said, "And after returning to the city, this Observatory Commander was killed by your own hand, your reverence for this willow tree has grown even weaker... even harboring some resentment."

At this point, Duke Murky Spirit poked his head out, chuckled mischievously, and said, "With such a mindset, you can’t speak of any devotion at all, and naturally, the power of the Incense Fire Wish Power is also not pure enough..."

"But the incense I offered is still useful."

Lin Yan, holding the Night Illuminating Divine Sword in his hand, spoke in an even tone, "Today I offer incense to Liu Venerate! Tomorrow, I will still use incense to honor Liu Venerate!"

——

The Commander’s funeral was simple.

Since his physical body had perished and the traces were incinerated by the bloodline fire of the Little White Ape, there was no need to take his corpse to Liu Zun Temple.

Lin Yan used the severed head of the middle-aged scholar as a sacrificial offering.

And the Observatory had already obtained detailed intelligence about this person from Residual Prison Mansion.

Deputy Order Envoy Chen Shaoyang from the Spirit Mastering Blessed Land, with his Cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, using a ’Divine Artifact,’ had once fought against extremely vicious and evil beings, thus becoming famously renowned.

This person was adept at governance, held high prestige within the Blessed Land, and had quite a reputation within Residual Prison Mansion.

He was good at discerning people’s hearts and had also performed many ’good deeds.’

For instance, the incident of the thousand slaps in High Willow City was just one of the most negligible deeds from his past.

He was more skilled in medicine, having saved many Human Clan Cultivators.

For the matter of him betraying the High Willow City Commander, Residual Prison Mansion seemed somewhat incredulous at first.

It was only upon hearing the title ’Saint Master’ that the Supreme Commander of the Observatory in Residual Prison Mansion personally investigated this person’s information and discovered a much deeper hidden truth.

The people Chen Shaoyang had treated in the past typically had drastic changes in temperament about a year and a half later, becoming extremely vicious and cruel.

And after being treated by him, all without exception, gradually lost control within five years, transforming into Physical Body Evils.
