Chapter 1259: Chapter 539 Divine Wood Abyss, Human Enlightenment_2

"Perhaps she wasn’t very familiar with the surroundings; her steps were hesitant and clumsy as she walked.

After roughly ten meters, her clear voice came, "Turn right towards the cave entrance, then walk seven hundred meters, that’s where I live. Usually, don’t come to disturb me unless you have business. If you need materials, just throw a stone into the cave; I’ll hear the noise and bring them out to you."

The blind girl finished speaking and turned right into the pitch-black cave entrance.

In this dark grotto, Qi Yuan was left alone.

Apart from the subtle sound of flowing water, the rustling of falling leaves, and the faint footsteps of the blind girl moving away, the silence was terrifying.

"Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t activate the Divine Wood Order here in the Divine Wood Abyss; otherwise, I would’ve told them that the meet was super swell," Qi Yuan muttered before placing his hand on the wooden token and carefully exploring it.

His eyes couldn’t see, but his hands felt the text engraved on it.

"Golden Technique."

"Wood Magic."

"Water Skill."

"Fire Skill."

"Earth Skill."

"Cloud Magic."

"Thunder Skill."

"Rain Skill."

The eight Artifact Refining Techniques were arranged with a certain regularity: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, cloud, thunder, and rain.

Each Artifact Refining Technique was highly sophisticated with very little introduction provided.

For example, the Golden Technique contained only thirty-six characters, describing the sharpness of gold.

"Wood strengthens and withers, gold powerful and annihilates..."

The rest was not described.

"So, it seems this Artifact Refining Technique... is actually an outline, with details needed to be filled in by others... truly exquisite."

Qi Yuan cultivated with the five elements and was quite familiar with gold.

Yet the Golden Technique’s description of gold still offered him fresh insights.

"What a shame that I’m blind; otherwise, my eyes could slowly fill in what follows. Why am I like this now?" Qi Yuan lamented.

Since he was blind, he had to rely on himself.

...

Divine Wood Abyss.

The Divine Wood reached up to the clouds, as if touching the edge of the sky. But once one tried to approach, they would find that it was all an illusion, nothing more than a mirage.

Shen Lingxuan sat immersed in the hot springs, her black gown clinging wetly to her curvaceous body. Her long legs were together, her skin as fair and luminous as jade.

The Insect Woman Caidie fluttered her wings and settled down, looking at Shen Lingxuan with a smile, "Your progress in cultivation has been swift these past two months. I suspect that in less than two hundred years, we won’t have to hide here in the Divine Wood Abyss anymore."

Shen Lingxuan opened her eyes, her face still covered by a veil concealing her breathtaking beauty.

"How are things outside the heavens?" Shen Lingxuan asked.

She had always been curious about the world beyond.

Hearing this, the Insect Woman Caidie’s expression turned sorrowful, "I haven’t received any news from beyond the heavens in three hundred years. The last message I received was... Black Circle invading the Void Sea."

The space between universes was indescribable and was known as the Void Sea.

The place where two universes met and collided was called the Void Sea.

The Void Sea was profound and chaotic; even the Ancestral Gods found it difficult to survive and traverse.

Only beings at the level of Realm Lords, which is the Yangshen Third Level, could traverse the Void Sea.

Lower-ranked cultivators could only walk through the Void Sea with the help of Realm Lord level treasures.

"The Black Sky transformed into the Black Circle, with countless soldier units and seventeen black sails, seeking to invade this Universe’s Cosmic Embryo from the Void Sea.

These seventeen black sails are all Realm Lord level Wondrous Treasures.

Yet our Divine Wood Universe has only one unfinished Realm Lord Wondrous Treasure."

At this point, sadness echoed in the heart of the Insect Woman Caidie.

"Our Ancestral God, armed with our Universe’s only unfinished Realm Lord Wondrous Treasure, the Green Cloud, set off alone to the Void Sea to confront the Black Circle.

The Green Cloud had just been forged and wasn’t fully developed; it couldn’t even be considered a Realm Lord Wondrous Treasure.

But... the Void Sea guardians brought various old Divine Artifacts and Ancestor Artifacts onto the Green Cloud, arming it to oppose the Black Circle."

One unfinished Realm Lord Wondrous Treasure against a dozen fully formed Realm Lord Wondrous Treasures.

And the Black Circle’s Realm Lord Wondrous Treasures were already fully formed, fully armed.

What was on the Green Cloud? Old Divine Artifacts, Ancestor Artifacts!

This was undoubtedly like placing grenade launchers, cannons on a carrier and challenging a true aircraft carrier, isn’t it?"

How could we possibly win?

Shen Lingxuan was somewhat anxious, "What’s the outcome?"

The Insect Woman Caidie shook her head, "I don’t know."

That was the last message she had received.

The Ancestral God Yuan carried the Green Clouds, along with a group of Divine and Ancestor Artifacts, to the Void Sea for a meeting, to block the Black Circle that Black Sky had transformed into.

"The Qingshan Realm is located in the Chaotic Star Domain, this region... The Guangyao Society is too powerful; we can’t stay long," advised the Insect Woman Caidie.

Shen Lingxuan nodded.

"The Mandate Holder is the hope of all worlds. As long as you are alive, you can represent the will of the worlds.

By gathering all the Mandate Holders, we can... ignite the light, forge the light, and dispel the Black Sky," said the Insect Woman Caidie with a solemn look.

Hope flickered in her eyes, but deep within, there was a hint of despair.

Gathering all the Mandate Holders to forge the light was the only way to break the stalemate.

But forging the light was difficult.

Without a Realm Lord-level powerhouse in this Cosmic Embryo, how could we create a Realm Lord’s wondrous object?

Hence, the term ’Wondrous Treasure of Light’ emerged, also known as an alternative Wondrous Treasure of Light.

Green Clouds were also considered half a Wondrous Treasure of Light.

What made the Insect Woman Caidie feel most desperate was...

The plan to use the Wondrous Treasure of Light to fight Black Sky was proposed by the Celestial Clan who had fled to this Cosmic Embryo.

The Wondrous Treasure of Light was an alternative type of Realm Lord’s wondrous object, created specifically to counter the Black Circle race of Black Sky.

But the Celestial Clan had already failed.

More importantly, even if the real Wondrous Treasure of Light were to be refined, could it truly resist Black Sky and Black Circle?

The Black Sky and Black Circle alone had thirty-two public Realm Lord’s wondrous objects.

"If we could cooperate with the Guangyao Society, perhaps we wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation," Shen Lingxuan said in a cool voice.

They weren’t the only ones forging a Wondrous Treasure of Light; the Guangyao Society was doing it too.

Three hundred thousand Artificers were hidden deep within the mountains of Shiwan Mountain, living in anonymity, all to forge pieces of the Wondrous Treasure of Light.

"Impossible!" the Insect Woman Caidie rejected immediately, "Nothing is more expensive than something that’s free. The Guangyao Society’s relentless pursuit of Mandate Holders is because they fear that we might refine the Human Enlightenment.

Instead of Divine Enlightenment, we in the Divine Wood Universe choose... Human Enlightenment!"

The Insect Woman Caidie’s voice was firm.

Human Enlightenment meant keeping power in our own hands.

Believing in the gods, worshipping the gods, hoping for the gods to cast their gaze upon us and show pity to our universe, and then creating a Wondrous Treasure of Light, was what she didn’t want to see.

The people of the Divine Wood Universe neither worship the gods nor bow to them.

They choose Human Enlightenment!

"We can only try to ally with Void Paradise. As for the Guangyao Society... they have ulterior motives," the Insect Woman Caidie expressed her strong aversion to the Guangyao Society.

In the Divine Wood Universe, there were two opinions on dealing with Black Sky and Black Circle.

One was like the Guangyao Society’s approach, Divine Enlightenment; the other was Human Enlightenment.

"Black Sky is an unconscious cosmic phenomenon, while the Black Circle is the conscious soldier. Black Sky relies on Strange Spirits to lay coordinates in the universe, and then invades with Black Circle.

Even Void Paradise and the universe behind it, Zhou’s Universe, are reluctant to provoke them, let alone ask for help. It’s probably wishful thinking," the Insect Woman Caidie knew a lot.

Shen Lingxuan was silent.

The world was bleak and hopeless.

Black Sky, being unconscious, devoured this Cosmic Embryo simply out of instinct.

If there’s someone to blame, it’s that the Divine Wood Universe is too weak.

Weakness is the original sin.

"Right, the great battle in Rakshasa Country this time, Shen Lin won."

"What?" Shen Lingxuan’s beautiful eyes showed a trace of surprise.

"According to the information I received, the young master who shares your husband’s surname is in fact an incarnation of Shen Lin. Unexpectedly... He has taken human form.

If I remember correctly, He also carries Heaven’s Mandate.

If we could persuade Him to join us and leave the Qingshan Realm together, that would be wonderful.

He’ll not be spared by the Guangyao Society if He stays here," said the Insect Woman Caidie.

Every Mandate Holder was a teammate worth recruiting.

"Sadly, we’ve finally found refuge in the Divine Wood Abyss and can’t go out again. If those from the Guangyao Society detect your presence, they are sure to strike decisively to kill," the Insect Woman Caidie continued.

Worry also filled her eyes.

In fact, hiding in the Divine Wood Abyss wasn’t safe either. Perhaps... only if a strange entrance was found, entering that special space-time within the depths of the Divine Wood Abyss, could they truly be safe for a while.
