The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1289 - 489: Time Retrospection, Grim Restart_3

"..."

The Space Magic Carpet remained silent, while Gui Bang, glancing at Ye Liuying and Ye Hanjun’s puzzled faces, couldn’t help but spit flying:

"That is the ’Time Drum’! The Divine Enthronement of Broken Instrument Valley!"

"He achieved enlightenment in the early stages of the Ancient Cosmos and has not fallen to this day, living for about 200,000 years. Just think how terrifying he is?"

"Yet this being does not get involved with worldly karma, and even in the Ancient Cosmos, probably only a few True Gods are aware of his existence!"

"Including Broken Instrument Valley, if it weren’t for the uniqueness of Xuxuan’s lineage, it would also be impossible to touch this secret!"

"The Ultimate Flash in the void... how could they perceive him? Do they have a connection too?"

Gui Bang scratched his head, his curiosity as intense as a blazing flame burning his viscera.

"No, the one in the void only mentioned needing ’a token of time’ to aid in tracing back the lineage."

"I happen to have a Spiritual Treasure related to the Principle of Time..."

"Involving the esteemed Time Drum, it is definitely the strongest token for that Principle, hmm..."

The Space Magic Carpet—seemed to also be in a state of conflict, its tone not quite firm.

However, it didn’t dwell on the conflict for too long, its intangible soul focused on Huazhu, once again asking emphatically:

"Do you... want to gamble?"

"The Divine Enthronement in the void said that if you don’t trace back time, and return to the sequence of Flashes, your lifetime’s limit will be a Holy King, and you will never be able to reach the realm of Demigod."

"If he is showing such unusual attention to you, it’s undoubtedly because he sees your potential and thinks you are significant."

"And the skin of the Time Drum, alas, has been in my hands for a long time now."

"If you are indeed the foreordained user bonded by karma, giving it to you, I would feel no guilt."

Huazhu’s face gradually flushed with color, her words striking like a hammer to the heart, deeply moving:

"If I don’t gamble, and never hope for half a Divine Enthronement in my lifetime... what is there to hesitate about?"

"My lord, since Senior Xuxuan is willing to give up the divine object, please allow me to venture into peril!"

"There are still the Witch’s Divine Status seals in Ghost Lamp Abyss, you said they were prepared for me, how could I meet your expectations if I can’t ascend to the realm of Demigod?"

"Little Black Hat, don’t be too reckless..."

GuaGua jumped onto Huazhu’s shoulder, stroking her hair, trying to comfort her.

Huazhu shook her head, her orange-gold pupils like two compressed suns emitting light, her tone firm:

"My lord, you once said if there is a fitting opportunity for me, you would strive for it no matter what."

"Your companionship and protection have been crucial to my growth up to today."

"But my ambition, and all the suffering, torment, and pain I’ve endured to this point... all tell me that if I stop at the Holy Saint Embryo and never reach a higher level, I—will never be content!"

"Huh—"

Ye Hanjun took a deep breath, clearing stray thoughts, and asked seriously:

"Senior Xuxuan, is there anything I can do?"

"If there is a way to increase the chances of success, please tell me, no matter what Heavenly and Earthly Materials are needed, I’ll seek them with all my might."

"No need."

The Space Magic Carpet said decisively:

"The most costly is the token of time, other materials, obtained from the Miemeng Family Treasure Vault, are enough to easily handle it."

"Since you’re decided, then let’s prepare it along with the other rituals."

"You all stay at Emperor Corpse Ridge, with the Hanba God’s oversight, we also have the confidence to face any challenges."

...

Following what Xuxuan said, Ye Hanjun settled at Emperor Corpse Ridge.

This place is not one of the top Blessed Lands, but it is very famous, its history and painful past occasionally attracting visits from Alien Races.

However... since the expansion of the Flash Alliance, holy beasts guard the surrounding boundary of the ridge, ordinary creatures have no way to enter.

Over time, even the Holy Beast King is not too willing to come here to face disappointment. This place has unexpectedly become a quiet sanctuary completely under the control of the Flash Alliance.

"Ultimate Flash... Emperor Seed..."

"Such beings are probably even more favored by nature than GuaGua, huh? Maybe there’s one every hundred thousand years, the ratio is too exaggerated."

"Hmm, it is said that after the Hell Bull Demon God killed the Chengfeng Ancestor and Emperor Seed, he was immediately struck by heavenly retribution, the whole ridge was burned and flooded, the remaining evil aura and murderous intent only gradually dispersed in the New Era..."

"Even today there are still traces here, apparently for Heavenly Dao, the significance of Ultimate Flash is actually quite enormous, isn’t it?"

These few days, Ye Hanjun, Ye Liuying, and Ye Yin, traversed mountains and rivers, trying to find traces of the past.

They saw mountain ranges that had been flattened and sheared, and they saw soil where not a blade of grass grows.

More so, there’s the deep red color in the depths of the earth, blood-like and startling to behold.

"Come back, the Witch’s Formation is built."

On the tenth day, a Space Gate accurately appeared before them.

Ye Hanjun was slightly startled, just when his heart had calmed down, it was stirred once again, as if a fierce tide was rising.
