Chapter 1266: Celestial Lord’s Divine Treasure!

Ye Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the young man in surprise.

He truly hadn’t expected to obtain the Kunwu Flower so effortlessly.

Before this, Ye Yuan had considered countless possibilities, even prepared to fight to the death.

The only thing he hadn’t anticipated was that the other party would give it to him so generously.

Taking the Kunwu Flower, Ye Yuan felt as if he were dreaming.

"Senior, this... why?" Ye Yuan asked in astonishment.

The young man smiled. "I’ve long found that Dead Soul Tree an eyesore. Well done! Besides, I must show face to the successor of that old ghost Xianlin. As for whether you succeed, that’s up to you."

Ye Yuan was taken aback. He had heard the name "Xianlin" many times but never understood why the Divine Realm was called the Xianlin Domain.

Now it seemed that "Xianlin" was a person’s name!

"May I ask, Senior, what exactly is 'Xianlin'? Why do many people call the Divine Realm the Xianlin Domain?" Ye Yuan inquired.

Kunwu laughed. "The Divine Realm is merely your own name. On the path of martial arts, the so-called Divine Realm is just the starting point. The reason the Divine Realm is called the Xianlin Domain is naturally because its ruler is that old ghost Xianlin!"

"Old ghost Xianlin?" Ye Yuan frowned.

Kunwu nodded. "Celestial Lord Xianlin is the founder and ruler of the Xianlin Domain. When one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, they can create a world of their own. The Xianlin Domain is a world created by that old ghost Xianlin."

Not only Ye Yuan, but everyone present shuddered at these words.

Creating a world—this was an inconceivable feat!

The Divine Realm they lived in was actually created by a martial artist!

Could a human truly achieve such a thing?

"Cr... create a world! Senior, are you joking?"

Even Ye Yuan, with his vast experience, wore an expression of utter amazement.

Kunwu’s words had struck him too profoundly.

"Heh, I don’t have the leisure to joke with you! Creating a world is nothing extraordinary. But creating a world like the Xianlin Domain is beyond the ability of ordinary people. Explaining it now would be beyond your understanding. If one day you can leave this Xianlin Domain, you’ll naturally understand," Kunwu said.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath. Kunwu’s words completely overturned his understanding of martial arts.

He had never imagined that the Divine Realm was artificially created!

Nor had he ever thought that human martial arts could reach such a terrifying level.

If Kunwu hadn’t spoken of it personally, no one could have imagined such a thing.

Ye Yuan firmly etched the term "Celestial Lord" into his mind.

In an instant, he was filled with longing for that realm!

A realm capable of creating a world—with his current strength, he couldn’t even fathom it.

After a long while, Ye Yuan finally recovered from the shock and said to Kunwu, "Senior, the Heavenly Dao is incomplete. Why... do the beings in this Divine Forbidden Land seem unaffected?"

Ye Yuan was very curious. Whether it was the Dead Soul Tree or the Kunwu Divine Tree before him, he couldn’t see through them at all.

This indicated that their realms were beyond his imagination.

Unlike Ancestor and Shi Potian, whose realms he could clearly sense were suppressed.

Kunwu smiled. "Because we don’t belong to the Xianlin Domain. We didn’t attain enlightenment through its rules, so we aren’t suppressed by its Heavenly Dao."

Ye Yuan was astonished. So they had all come from another world?

But soon, Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up. He was about to speak when Kunwu spoke first.

"Don’t even think about it! The beings in this Divine Forbidden Land cannot leave this region! Moreover, the Xianlin Domain is already on its last legs; it can’t withstand our intervention. If we act, the Xianlin Domain might soon completely collapse," Kunwu said.

Ye Yuan looked disappointed. He had just thought that since the Kunwu Divine Tree wasn’t bound by the Heavenly Dao, it might help deal with Kano, but this was the result.

He asked gloomily, "Senior, what exactly happened to the Divine Realm? Why is the Heavenly Dao incomplete?"

Kunwu shrugged. "Because that old ghost Xianlin is dead!"

These words startled Ye Yuan.

Could even a being capable of creating a world die?

Then what kind of existence could have killed him?

Kunwu continued, "But... the decline of the Xianlin Domain shouldn’t have been so fast. Five million years ago, Xianlin lost contact with the Xianlin Domain. He’s likely dead, so the domain has been deteriorating day by day. However, a hundred thousand years ago, someone must have refined his natal Celestial Lord’s Divine Treasure, causing the Heavenly Dao of the Xianlin Domain to become defective and the spiritual energy to be drained away, preventing you from achieving the Divine Path."

Ye Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he murmured, "Natal Celestial Lord’s Divine Treasure?"

Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan with a half-smile. "Don’t you have one too? And... more than one!"

Ye Yuan trembled, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Senior means... the Haotian Stone Tablet and the Soul Suppressing Pearl?"

Kunwu laughed. "What else? What besides the Soul Suppressing Pearl could have taken down that Dead Soul Tree?"

His words carried a strong note of resentment.

Ye Yuan could tell that the Kunwu Divine Tree seemed quite at odds with the Dead Soul Tree.

But Kunwu’s words still stirred a storm in Ye Yuan’s heart.

He had never understood the origins of the Haotian Stone Tablet and the Soul Suppressing Pearl.

Now it turned out they were the Celestial Lord’s Divine Treasures of the Xianlin Domain’s ruler, Celestial Lord Xianlin!

Such supreme existences were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

No wonder even a peerless expert like Jue Tian couldn’t fathom the depths of the Haotian Stone Tablet.

"That old ghost Xianlin had three Celestial Lord’s Divine Treasures: the Realm-Suppressing Stele, the Soul Suppressing Pearl, and the Qiankun Sword. These three treasures are closely tied to the Xianlin Domain. Xianlin used the domain to nurture them. So when the Qiankun Sword was lost, the Xianlin Domain suffered a severe blow, and the Divine Path was lost ever since," Kunwu explained casually.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, but the shock in his heart refused to subside.

Kunwu’s words had struck his mind with overwhelming force.

Every sentence he spoke was a profound secret of the Xianlin Domain.

The people of the Divine Realm had lived here generation after generation, never knowing it was merely a space created by someone else.

In the end, they were nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well!

Outside, there was a broader world!

The mystery of a hundred thousand years had finally been unraveled today. How could Ye Yuan not be shaken?

And Kunwu had revealed far more than just the mystery of a hundred thousand years.

Ye Yuan had never dreamed that the two incredible items he had obtained by chance were actually Celestial Lord’s Divine Treasures!
