“What on earth is it?” Muyun Lan asked again since Ye Futian didn’t answer. His eyes glowed with curiosity. The thing almost blinded Ye Futian and left him open-mouthed. What could it possibly be?

What was hidden inside of a divine casket that was sealed in the mysterious site of relics of ancient Gods?

Was it a body?

Could it be the remains of ancient Gods if it was indeed a body?

Sacred remains?!

Ye Futian still didn’t answer Muyun Lan’s question. It was not that he didn’t want to reply but that he couldn’t tell what it was or to put it into words. Was it a corpse? He had trouble describing it clearly.

While he still felt staggered and disconcerted at this moment, he was also filled with wonder and a strong urge to explore. His eyes, which had recovered from temporary blindness, were glued to the divine casket.

Beams of divine light illuminated his body. It was imperial glory instead of the ordinary divine light of the Great Path. His eyes reflected the dazzling light and shone brilliantly as if they were eyes of God.

He stepped forward again, walking over to the divine casket. He wanted to give it another try to identify the thing in the casket. He was almost blinded just now for taking a brief look. Any other cultivator at the same level would have lost his sight already.

Muyun Lan clenched his fists and stared at Ye Futian without blinking. This jerk wouldn’t tell him what was inside the casket. Muyun Lan exerted himself to move a step forward, attempting to take a look himself.

“Even if you managed to get here, you probably would be blinded after one quick look. Do you really want to try?” a cold voice said to Muyun Lan. Muyun Lan dropped the idea right away. He stood frozen to the ground and was at a loss for words.

He certainly had been performing worse than Ye Futian even though he was unwilling to admit it. He saw what kind of price Ye Futian paid to look inside the casket, and he knew he was very likely to be blinded if he tried it himself.

Of course, Muyun Lan noticed how Ye Futian was glowing with the imperial glory as well. Ye Futian was fortunate enough to obtain the will of the Great Emperor during a serendipitous encounter. Perhaps it was why he was better than Muyun Lan and was confident enough to try again.

Ye Futian walked extremely slowly. Each of his footsteps was heavy. It was as if he was carrying tons of weight. He paused for a second when he reached the divine casket. His eyes already turned into a rich and bright golden color as though they were brightened by the divine light. Ye Futian approached the divine casket one more time to look inside.

In an instant, countless rays of divine light pierced into Ye Futian’s eyes. He felt excruciating pain in his eyes, and even his spiritual soul was shaken violently. The blinding golden divine light seemed to be an endless flow of runes. Each rune was left by the ancient Gods and contained enigmatic power.

More remarkably, the countless runes all seemed to be coming from a body, which was essentially made up of golden runes. It was a corpse indeed. The sacred remains.

However, the dazzling and magnificent sacred remains didn’t have blood, flesh, or bones.

Even if a God died, his body would never decompose, and his blood wouldn’t dry out either. Moreover, he could resurrect himself even if he only had one drop of blood or one patch of skin left. Ye Futian couldn’t imagine what Gods were capable of, but at least they would have bodies that could last forever.

That being said, the sacred remains in front of him were composed of innumerable runes. It was a spectacular sight.

Buzz…

Ye Futian felt a strong, sharp pain in his eyes. He let out an agonized yelp and fell back. Two streams of blood trickled from his eyes and made him look miserable.

Even though he was well prepared this time, Ye Futian couldn’t endure the pain for more than a split second. The runes that formed the remains thrust into his eyes and head. He couldn’t persevere in the face of this kind of power.

“Was this developed after a God’s death?” Ye Futian was astounded even though this was not the first sacred remains that he saw. In the past, he had encountered the Divine Heart of the Peacock left by the Peacock Demon God.

What did the sacred remains mean this time?

At the moment, this area in the Outer Realms was surrounded by a lot of cultivators. They were all eager to know what was going on inside. Why did Muyun Lan stop moving forward?

What happened to him?

Ye Futian, as opposed to Muyun Lan, walked into the area that couldn’t be discerned. Did it mean that Ye Futian was doing better than Muyun Lan in the relic?

All of a sudden, everyone sensed the formidable authority of heaven. Many of them raised their heads to look in the direction of the source of the terrifying energy. They immediately saw a person appear in the sky above them.

It was an old man with an ethereal quality. His long, white beard was flowing in the wind, making him look like a deity.

“Who is that?” Everyone’s heart was pounding with excitement and anticipation. The cultivators from the Nanhai family bowed to the old man and said, “Greetings to the clan leader.”

The clan leader of the Nanhai family was here!

The crowd was almost blown away. No one expected to see master cultivators here, let alone the preeminent leader of the Nanhai family.

He arrived so quickly. It seemed that the cultivators from the Nanhai family informed him of the situation, which attracted him here at once.

The clan leader of the Nanhai family gazed at the area below with a solemn expression. He asked, “How was this discovered?”

After years of raiding and plundering, they thought there was no valuable relic left in the Cangyuan Continent. This was why it was shocking for them to see the situation here. This meant that they missed one of the most important relics on this continent.

“This area came into sight after someone solved the mystery by chance,” a person replied. The clan leader of the Nanhai family was lost for words. Was it that simple?

Nevertheless, it was meaningless to inquire about the details or regret the past. Instead, he focused on the present and watched the area intently.

Just when he was about to make a move, another burst of fierce energy arrived. A voice rang out in midair, “I was wondering what Brother Nanhai was rushing for. It turns out that there is God’s relic on the Cangyuan Continent.”

Before the voice faded, another master cultivator came into view.

“Brother Nanhai, it’s quite selfish of you to not share the news with us.” A succession of master cultivators showed up, one of whom looked like a majestic ruler in his lavish imperial robe.

“The sovereign of the Shangyu Deity Nation.”

It appeared that most of the mighty figures of the Upper Third Heaven had arrived.

They all went to the Shangqing Continent at the request of the Domain Chief’s Manor. However, the leaders of the Nanhai family and the An family left abruptly, which caught the attention of other master cultivators. They followed them here, which led to what happened just now.

The crowd was electrified to see the most prominent cultivators arriving one after another. The Domain Chief’s Manor invited them over. Yet, who would have thought that they all gathered here in the Cangyuan Continent?

Everyone could feel a great force of intense pressure pressing down over their bodies because of these mighty figures’ presence.

However, they were only staring at the area below while unleashing terrifying energy to surround the pillars. Subsequently, the crowd was hit by a strong yet invisible wave. It felt like a surreal spatial storm to the cultivators nearby.

“Back off.”

A voice boomed in the void. The cultivators immediately pulled back. But the invisible undulation of energy grew more intense. It turned into a gale and was transformed into a real spatial storm.

Buzz…

A wicked storm struck again, and blinding light flooded the space. At this moment, all of the wrecked buildings were once again smashed to smithereens, dust clouds blowing in the wind.

After the storm finally subsided, the crowd standing far away suddenly realized that the area had changed. To everyone’s astonishment, numerous stone pillars soared into the clouds as if they were part of a splendid divine palace.

“This is what’s inside!” Many people felt their hearts pounding rapidly. Was the divine palace inside the relic moved out by the master cultivators by force?

Ye Futian and Muyun Lan naturally sensed the change as well. They raised their heads to look at the people hovering in the air. Although he had never met any of them, Ye Futian knew that they were mighty figures from various top forces.

“Old Ma.” Ye Futian recognized Old Ma, who was behind the crowd. Old Ma followed other people here too.

“Father-in-law,” Muyun Lan shouted at the clan leader of the Nanhai family. The man nodded and responded, “Muyun Lan, pull back for now.”

Muyun Lan nodded slightly. There was no point for him to stay now that the master cultivators had arrived.

Before he made a quick exit, he darted a glance at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian was quietly withdrawing from the area. Even so, many master cultivators in the air noticed him. They stared at him for a while, surprised that he could approach the divine casket.

In fact, the master cultivators were also astounded to see that it was a divine casket.

As soon as they focused their attention on the inside of the divine casket, several of them closed their eyes. Others shrieked and immediately teleported away, then reappeared in the sky extremely far away.

“What is that?”

A voice echoed through the area. Even the clan leader of the Nanhai family drew back without looking at the casket. His eyes closed tightly.

“Ugh…”

The spectators were stunned by their reaction. What on earth was inside the dazzling divine casket? Even the most powerful cultivators recoiled in horror.

There was no doubt that it was something left by the ancient Gods. A cultivator from the Nanhai family rose into the air, trying to sneak a peek. But the clan leader bellowed, “Back off. You can’t look at it!”

Startled, the man stopped right away. He understood that he had to curb his curiosity when he saw the expression on the clan leader’s face. He couldn’t even cast a brief look at the divine casket.
