Chapter 580: 102, Formless
Lin Yue cleared his throat and said, "I can exchange it for a Semi-Divine Artifact."
Anyway, his main uses were the Flying Spirit Chasing Sun and the Divine Artifact Battle Saber. The Mysterious God Wanxiang wasn't performing well, so it might be better to exchange it for a more useful Semi-Divine Artifact.
"You can't even find your master, so don't hold out too much hope for me," the Second Prince said with a slight shake of his head. "Your master has tens of thousands of years of heritage from the Ancestor Hall, and my Xiahong family has the most treasures stored in the Temple of Thousand Gods."
Lin Yue became curious and asked, "Aren't there many treasures in Beiyuan Mountain? Even several Divine Artifacts."
"Beiyuan Mountain?"
The Second Prince couldn't help but give a wry smile, shaking his head. "Beiyuan Mountain doesn't belong to the Xiahong family, nor to the Human Clan. We are just helping the Human Clan."
He glanced at Lin Yue and said, "That is a region transformed by an Ancient God, who agreed to help at the invitation of the Divine Emperor. Therefore, no matter who enters, they must abide by the rules."
Lin Yue suddenly understood.
No wonder whoever entered was suppressed to become a mortal, and that mysterious merchant carried divine artifacts and other treasures; even the Inheritance Land was hidden with various guidances to the Ultimate Path.
So, the entire Beiyuan Mountain was transformed by an Ancient God?
"That Ancient God of Beiyuan Mountain has already taken good care of you."
The Second Prince looked at him with a smile and said, "If you hadn't received the guidance of the Ultimate Path in the Inheritance Land, and if He hadn't favored you, you would never have been able to cheat your way into getting both the Phoenix Crown and a Divine Artifact from that merchant. He would have obstructed you in the unseen."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
Was there such a thing?
"Among the existing Ancient Gods, He is the one who supports our Human Clan the most."
The Second Prince sighed, "As long as one has enough talent and potential, after entering Beiyuan Mountain, their luck and opportunities are quite good."
Lin Yue pondered.
It seemed that even Ancient Gods had differing positions.
The two chatted casually for a while more.
"Oh? Found it."
Suddenly, the Second Prince revealed a smile and said, "The Temple of Thousand Gods has found a Semi-Divine Artifact that quite suits you. However, the spirit of the Temple of Thousand Gods is set by the Divine Emperor, and we must follow the rules. Even I can only get one treasure; after that, it's an exchange of equal value."
Lin Yue knew what to do. He immediately took out the Semi-Divine Artifact crystal ball 'Mysterious God Wanxiang' and handed it to the Second Prince.
After all, of the two paths within this Mysterious God Wanxiang, he only had the All Things Phase, which at best showed a fraction of its power. Moreover, it was primarily used to aid in Enlightenment.
It might be better to exchange it for a more useful Semi-Divine Artifact.
If it were up to him, the spirit of the Temple of Thousand Gods probably wouldn't even bother with him, so it was only because the Second Prince had 'high enough authority.'
"Mysterious God Wanxiang?"
After the Second Prince received the Mysterious God Wanxiang, he smiled, examined it, and the Semi-Divine Artifact then vanished without a trace.
After a while.
"All done."
The next moment, a gray, clay mask suddenly appeared in the Second Prince's hand.
"This Semi-Divine Artifact is called 'Thousand Faces.' It's quite suitable for you."
The Second Prince smiled and handed the clay mask to Lin Yue and added, "This Semi-Divine Artifact will help with the fusion of your earth and fire phases. As for the rest, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"Thank you, Second Brother," Lin Yue said, bowing his hands and taking the Semi-Divine Artifact.
"Well, as a brother, I have simply helped you exchange for a Semi-Divine Artifact. It's not that significant of assistance... So, I'll allow you to ask one more question," said the Second Prince with a smile.
"This..."
Lin Yue's heart stirred, and he said, "Second Brother, when I went to Eternal Night, I obtained the corpse of the Divine Beast Dream Snake, and I found some unusual objects inside it. You are well-informed; could you help me take a look?"
"Unusual objects?" The Second Prince said casually, "Do you have the Dream Snake corpse with you?"
"It's in this storage treasure."
Lin Yue immediately showed the supreme Spiritual Treasure-level storage treasure that contained the corpse of the Dream Snake, and he opened the barrier within, allowing the Second Prince to probe inside with his Divine Thought.
Subsequently, Lin Yue took out a treasure bottle, which contained the dream-like liquid he had obtained inside the body of the Dream Snake.
"This was also obtained from within the Dream Snake. I don't know what it is," Lin Yue said.
After returning, he had checked the records and asked the Blood Sea Saint Mother, but no one knew what it was.
So, he simply took this opportunity to seek advice from the Second Prince.
"Such intense evil energy."
The Second Prince withdrew his Divine Thought, nodded slightly, and said, "The death of the Divine Beast Dream Snake was because of this lotus seed filled with endless evil energy."
He looked at Lin Yue and said, "When you were in Beiyuan Mountain, didn't you see that merchant? That merchant had previously sold a Black Lotus that condensed the malice of heaven and earth. The evil energy on this lotus seed is innate and probably comes from the seeds of that Black Lotus."
"That Black Lotus?" Lin Yue was slightly taken aback.
According to the information obtained from Beiyuan Mountain, that Black Lotus was taken away by a prince nine hundred years ago.
The prince had a terrifying amount of evil energy. Even when suppressed into a mortal, he could instill fear in fierce beasts.
To this day, he had not figured out which prince it was.
But it must have been that prince who took advantage of the situation when the Dream Snake fled after the Fourth Prince acted. He also acted and killed the Dream Snake with a lotus seed from the Black Lotus.
The Fourth Prince and Seventh Princess, both of whom were reincarnated from the Buddhist Sect, could be said to be genuinely non-aggressive and honest people who had never killed a living creature.
Back then, even though the Fourth Prince could have killed the Nightmare Demon God that attacked Great Yong with the Dream Snake, he only sealed and suppressed it, showing his compassionate nature.
