2278 Holy Jade of Chaos
Chu Liuyue shook her head. “It’s fine. It’s just that Tuan Zi was left at Phoenix Mountain.”
Even though she had used all sorts of methods to deceive Yu Qian, she was still very worried when she thought about how Tuan Zi would be alone there for a long time.
Rong Xiu kissed her forehead. “Let’s talk inside.”
…
On the other side, after Jin Yunlai sent Chu Liuyue to Phoenix Mountain, he returned to Fantasy Divine Hall.
When he passed by the black jade square, he stopped in his tracks.
Two people were standing not far from the square and whispering to each other. He knew the man on the left—Kong Qinglin. This was the only Armory Refinement Saint that had appeared in Fantasy Divine Palace in recent years. He had just broken through and entered the Fantasy Divine Hall not long ago.
It wasn’t surprising that he would appear here.
On the other hand, the woman beside him… She was wearing a long dress with an exquisite hairband. Her black hair fell to her ankles. She was slender and had a gentle side profile.
Jin Yunlai had no impression of her. There was no such person in Fantasy Divine Palace.
“…In that case, if you want to become an Armory Refinement Saint, you have to fight for a holy light from here?” she asked softly and gently, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Kong Qinglin nodded his head. “That’s right. This Holy Jade of Chaos has been here since tens of thousands of years ago. It can be considered the treasure of Fantasy Divine Hall. It contains more than a thousand beams of holy light and is infinitely powerful. As long as you can successfully summon a beam of holy light, you can successfully refine a holy weapon.”
With that, he looked at Su Li curiously. “Speaking of which, I haven’t asked. You said that you just came up from the God Residence Realm, but you were already an Armory Refinement Saint when you came. What’s going on? The holy light inside won’t leave Fantasy Divine Palace.”
In other words, it was impossible for an Armory Refinement Saint to appear in the God Residence Realm below.
Hearing Kong Qinglin’s words, Jin Yunlai immediately understood. So this is the Armory Refinement Saint that Chu Liuyue wanted to invite previously.
He turned to the side and listened intently. In fact, he also wanted to know what was going on.
Su Li smiled and explained, “Actually, I didn’t break through now. About 10,000 years ago, I was refining weapons when a natural phenomenon happened. A shield flew down, and for some reason, I successfully refined a holy weapon.”
“Shield?” Kong Qinglin was stunned.
“Yes, it’s…” Su Li raised her hand and pointed ahead. “The shape seems to be a little similar to the incomplete piece in the middle.”
Kong Qinglin immediately understood. “I see…”
Su Li sighed softly. “Unfortunately, the power contained in that shield at that time was too shocking. After I refined the holy weapon, I also died, leaving only a remnant soul. It wasn’t easy for me to revive. It wasn’t until I came here that I realized that the shield actually flew out of this Fantasy Divine Hall.”
The corners of her lips curved slightly as she said softly, “I wonder how such a thing happened…”
If it was 10,000 years ago, it was probably because of that riot. However, this matter was forbidden in Fantasy Divine Palace, so he naturally couldn’t say anything.
Su Li glanced at him, her eyes flickering slightly, and she smiled again. “By the way, I heard that an Armory Refinement Saint hasn’t appeared in Fantasy Divine Palace for many years. It’s really impressive that you can succeed.”
When Kong Qinglin heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed. “It’s nothing. Compared to you, Su Li, it’s still a little lacking.”
Although he said that, it was obvious that Kong Qinglin approved of and was very proud of this matter. Of course, he had the capital to do so.
Su Li asked curiously. “Actually, I don’t quite understand. Logically speaking, geniuses and experts should gather in a place like Fantasy Divine Palace. There should be many people who can break through to become Armory Refinement Saints. Why are you the only one all these years?”
Kong Qinglin subconsciously said, “Naturally, it’s because of this Holy Jade of Chaos—”
His voice suddenly stopped.
However, Su Li had already guessed something. “Because of the missing piece?”
Kong Qinglin looked at Su Li hesitantly before nodding. He lowered his voice and said,
“Everyone in Fantasy Divine Palace has an unspoken mutual understanding of this matter, and very few people have mentioned it all these years. It’s only because you’re new and happen to have been in contact with that incomplete Holy Jade of Chaos that I told you. However, it’s better to mention it less in the future.”
Su Li was about to ask again when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
Both of them turned around.
When he saw who it was, Kong Qinglin was shocked and hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Seventh Deity!”
Su Li was stunned. So this is the Seventh Deity? This name is really well-known.
She originally thought that she would see him when she came to the Heaven Gate, but for some reason, the Seventh Deity didn’t appear that day. Today was the first time she had officially seen this person.
“Su Li greets the Seventh Deity.” Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but Su Li’s face was still calm and gentle.
Jin Yunlai looked at her coldly. “To be able to break through to become an Armory Refinement Saint in the God Residence Realm, you do have some ability. However, this is Fantasy Divine Hall. If you still want to stay here well in the future, it’s best to be careful with your words and actions. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, understand?”
Is this a warning to me not to continue prying into what happened back then? Su Li’s mind raced, but there was a hint of nervousness on her face. She lowered her head slightly. “Okay.”
Beside her, Kong Qinglin’s heart was also in his throat.
Of course, he knew that those words couldn’t be said casually. But seeing that Su Li was really curious, he couldn’t help but say it.
Who knew that the Seventh Deity was here?
He must have heard everything!
However, just as Kong Qinglin was nervous and worried, thinking that he was going to be punished, Jin Yunlai didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.
Hearing the footsteps gradually fade away, Su Li let out a sigh of relief and muttered softly. “Looks like I really have to be careful everywhere in Fantasy Divine Hall…”
Kong Qinglin’s back was already drenched in sweat. A breeze blew over, and a chill ran to the top of his head.
“Thank goodness, thank goodness…” He wiped the sweat off his forehead in fear. “Su Li, don’t talk about these things anymore in the future. The Seventh Deity probably let you off today because it’s your first time making a mistake. If you do it again in the future, it won’t be so easy.”
Su Li looked at his reaction thoughtfully. “Is the Seventh Deity very strict?”
He only came to say a few words, but it actually made Kong Qinglin so nervous.
Kong Qinglin smiled bitterly. “It’s nothing. All the deities are the same. After all, this concerns the past—forget it, forget it. Don’t mention it again in the future to avoid causing trouble for yourself.”
Su Li blinked and smiled. “Okay.”
…
On the other side, Jin Yunlai originally wanted to go straight back to his residence. Halfway there, he suddenly thought of what had happened today.
He turned and walked in the other direction.
