Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Demon Spirit Peak
Feeling Agul’s remorse, Beiting Huang closed his eyes and communicated through the sea of consciousness, “This has nothing to do with you. The debts of the past, those owed to me, will be reclaimed one day. For now, let us focus and resolve the matters at hand.”
The Ming Sea Divine Turtle looked at Agul with sympathy. It appeared that this fellow must have been rescued by their master only after being sealed for ten thousand years. It extended a claw and gently patted Agul’s shoulder, “The Nine-Colored Great Sovereign Ming Hong of the Spirit God Clan used the power of the guardian spirits to form a heaven-sent blood contract with a drop of divine blood from the master and Prince Ming Xiu, ensuring that from then on, the master could only become the wife of Ming Xiu generation after generation.”
“So it is,” Beiting Huang said with a mocking smile, casually stirring the water in the pond, watching as the ripples gently moved the petals on the surface.
“When this blood contract was formed, it was the doing of the Spirit God Clan. It’s just like the contracts between humans and magical beasts, that come in various ranks. Among the terms, we only know that the master is destined to be Ming Xiu’s woman through every generation, the rest remains unknown,” the Ming Sea Divine Turtle explained. “And to think we only learned the truth after the grand display made by the Western Wilderness in marrying off the grand Princess Xi Feng to Prince Ming Xiu, following our master’s fall. It turned out this so-called heaven-sent blood contract was far from fair.”
“Damn it all, they’re truly scum,” Thunderbolt couldn’t help but curse. “To harm their own sister like that, who isn’t born of their flesh and blood?”
Beiting Huang had forgotten what had happened ten thousand years ago, so the Ming Sea Divine Turtle slowly enlightened her, “The great Princess Xi Feng is over two thousand years old, born to the current empress of the Western Wilderness, while Princess Ninth Huang is the child of the emperor of the Western Wilderness and a woman from the Dark Demon World. The emperor originally intended to marry that woman, but regrettably, she perished, giving birth to the master on her deathbed.”
Beiting Huang didn’t express what she felt inside about her parents from ten thousand years ago. Regardless of what she had experienced, she had no intentions of dealing with the Western Wilderness. She seemed indifferent to it all.
“The heaven-sent blood contract differs from the rules of heaven and earth because it is reinforced by the power of divine spirits; the punishment for breaking it is no small matter,” said the Ming Sea Divine Turtle, its tone growing more somber. “For tens of millions of years, the power of the Spirit God Clan has weakened with each generation, yet they still maintain a crucial position in the Rubis World because of those on Demon Spirit Peak and, most importantly, the Divine Hall of Judgment.”
“What do you mean by those on Demon Spirit Peak?” Beiting Huang had an intuition that this person was the real enemy she had to confront.
When the Ming Sea Divine Turtle mentioned this individual, a tremor was detectable in its voice, “After the Spirit God, Demon God, and Earth Mother perished, there was no longer a Devil Emperor in Rubis World. The Devil Emperor was the True God who ruled the entire Rubis World. However, several tens of thousands of years ago, a person with the strength of a Devil Emperor emerged from the Spirit God Clan. He accepted the trials of Demon Spirit Peak and ascended it. Since then, Rubis World had once more a True God. But…”
The Ming Sea Divine Turtle sighed heavily, “I was once sneaking around the Spirit God Clan, attempting to steal a Lingxiao Flower, when I overheard that this individual had not truly obtained Divine Status. Though he had broken through the realm of the Nine-Colored Great Sovereign and entered the realm of the Devil Emperor, he had not truly taken control of the entire Rubis World. It is said that before the Earth Mother perished, she spoke these words, ‘From one comes two, from two comes three, and from three comes all things; all things turn into three, three into two, and two into one.’ Could it be that only by acquiring the treasures left by the three Creation Gods can one truly gain the Divine Status and ultimately become a True God?”
