"Understood!" Yue Qianchou nodded. As expected, there really was a seal. It's a good thing I didn't sneak in earlier.
The two quickly flew over the lake and landed on a hill. They had already left the sunlight of the Thousand Li Lake and were now shrouded in a hazy fog. Up ahead, they could vaguely make out a mountain range. The mountains were not very tall, but the terrain was abrupt and undulating. Strange plants and ancient trees with intertwining roots roamed the forest. There was nowhere to walk, and the eerily quiet atmosphere made it seem rather frightening.
"Follow me closely!" Heli once more ordered as he floated into the forest. Yue Qianchou's feet did not touch the ground, and he followed on his sword. The two dodged left and right through the forest, advancing and retreating, making countless turns and turns. This dazzled Yue Qianchou, who had originally wanted to memorize the path, and he did not dare to get distracted lest he get lost and cause trouble.
The two wandered through the forest for a long time. Suddenly, the dense vegetation before them vanished, and a valley between green cliffs appeared. Yue Qianchou looked around. The strange atmosphere from before had already vanished. He looked down and asked, "This is Twilight Valley?"
Heli grunted and laughed. "What you saw just now was an illusion produced by the valley-protecting array, but you absolutely cannot underestimate this illusion. There is a great deal of danger within, and the slightest carelessness can lead to your death."
"Was this array laid down by Senior Bi?" Yue Qianchou asked. Heli shook his head. "This array has existed since ancient times, but Master doesn't know when it was laid down. The method to enter and exit the array was passed down by the previous' Torture Envoy 'of the Fey Ghost Region. Let's go! The blue flame you want to see is down there. "
The two flashed down the valley between the green cliffs. Upon landing, Yue Qianchou looked up at the hazy sky. The valley truly did feel like night had fallen. No wonder it was called Twilight Valley. Looking at the surrounding scenery carefully, there were occasionally large stones arranged in a picturesque manner. In addition, there were traces of carvings on the stone walls on both sides of the valley. Although it was a long time ago, it was obvious that it was man-made.
Following Heli Li, Yang Kai walked forward. Along the way, a series of engravings began to appear on the stone walls. Most of the engravings were of a man and a woman appearing in various places. Occasionally, there were also engravings of the man refining artifacts. As they walked deeper, another man suddenly appeared in the portrait on the stone wall. Then, more scenes of refining weapons appeared in the portrait as well. Looking at them together, it seemed as though they were refining a sword.
As the two walked to the end of the valley, the engravings on the stone wall became more complicated. The man refining artifacts was holding a sword and laughing wildly at the sky. The sword in his hand radiated light as if he had refined some sort of incredible treasure. The man who appeared later seemed to be clasping his hands in congratulations. At this time, the portrait first showed two men drinking and chatting merrily. Then, there was a sudden twist. While the latter was admiring the sword, he suddenly attacked and struck the man who was refining the weapon to the ground. The attacker took the sword and was about to escape, but he suddenly ran into the woman from before. The two of them immediately fought, but the man was no match for the woman. The sword that he had snatched was taken back by the woman, and he fled. The woman chased after him, but it seemed that she had lost him.
The final scene was of the woman standing in the air above the boundless sea, her expression one of inconsolable pain. She had thrown the sword into the vast sea. At this point, the contents of the painting were finished. But at the end, there was an engraving of a sword. Next to the engraving of the sword were two large words: "Blue Serenity."
This kind of ancient melodramatic story was nothing more than someone going back on their word and killing their friends to steal their treasures. Yue Qianchou had no interest in it, and he did not have that much sympathy to sympathize with the ancient people. He and Heli walked to the end of the valley. It turned out that there was a cave at the end of the valley. A stone stele had been erected next to the cave. On the stele were the words: "In the dim twilight, the cries of artifacts in the valley. Inextinguishable and inextinguishable, the raging flame is named Blue. "
Yue Qianchou's eyebrows rose. The reason this valley was called Twilight Valley was probably because of the first two words of the stele. Put together, it was called Twilight Valley. As for the last two words, they were definitely talking about Blue Flames. The meaning was not difficult to understand. He glanced at the words left behind, but this casual glance immediately caused Yue Qianchou to freeze, his mouth wide open. This was none other than the three words: "No Better than Artifact."
Damn! No Better than Artifact? Divine Craftsman No Better than Artifact? This was the place where Divine Craftsman No Better than Artifact forged artifacts? Damn! If the artificer was a Divine Craftsman, then could the woman on the mural be Little Snow? Yue Qianchou shook his head in disbelief. Heli noticed his strange state and curiously asked, "Brother Yue, what's wrong?"
"Wait!" Yue Qianchou waved his hand. Without another word, he turned around and walked back. He couldn't stop muttering to himself. Damn, no Better than Artifact was publicly recognized as the number one artificer in ancient times, which was why he was crowned with the title of Divine Craftsman. A treasure that could make a Divine Craftsman so excited couldn't be an ordinary treasure. It would be a pity if he didn't appreciate it.
He once more hurried to the "Blue Nether" sword carved on the stone wall and got closer to examine it. The more he looked, the stranger Yue Qianchou's expression became. The sword on this painting was abnormally familiar. The shape of the artifact and the carvings on the blade were exactly the same as the Blue Nether Sword he had obtained from killing Liu Changqing.
Damn! Don't scare laozi, laozi is very timid! Yue Qianchou's little heart was beating rapidly. He muttered to himself again. Other than the appearance, why did the name of the sword only differ by one word? Could it be a sister sword? It shouldn't be! The painting showed that only one sword was forged. Could it be that the similarity was purely a coincidence? It was very possible. How could a treasure that could make a Divine Craftsman ecstatic be an ordinary treasure? If it really was such a treasure, Liu Changqing wouldn't have died so easily. It would probably have taken more effort.
Heli also walked back. Seeing him staring at the sword on the mural, he couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Yue, are you looking at the painting of the Blue Nether Sword? This is the last masterpiece of a Divine Craftsman. Legend has it that this sword has already broken through the category of top spiritual artifacts and can be ranked as an immortal artifact. It's a pity that after this sword was forged, the Divine Craftsman was killed by his close friend who stole the treasure. Brother Yue has just seen the mural, so you should already know a thing or two about the process. "
"Immortal artifact? How is that possible? " Yue Qianchou expressed his doubt. His eyebrows twitched unconsciously. He pointed to the painting in front of him and asked, "Since it is an immortal artifact, then why couldn't the man who stole the sword defeat Xiao Xue with an immortal artifact?"
"Master learned from the previous torture envoy that the Blue Nether Sword shone too brightly after it was forged. In order to avoid trouble, the Divine Craftsman placed a restriction on the sword, limiting it to the category of a top grade magic artifact to cover up the dazzling light of the Blue Nether Sword. With the skills of a Divine Craftsman, the restriction he placed is not something an ordinary person can undo. This might be the reason why that man couldn't defeat Xiao Xue even with the sword! "Heli explained.
Restriction? Limiting it to the category of a top grade magic artifact? Yue Qianchou's heart suddenly shrank. Wasn't the Blue Nether Sword in his hand a top grade magic artifact? Why did it match another one? Could it be that he really made an immortal artifact?
"Ha! This is already an ancient matter. It's hard to distinguish whether it's true or not. It's just a legend. Why does Brother Yue care about this? Don't you want to see the blue fire? "Heli laughed.
Yue Qianchou waved his hand and said, "No, no. It's just that the Divine Craftsman's name is too famous. I didn't expect to see some ancient ruins here. I'm a little entranced. Actually, in comparison, the blue fire is naturally more attractive to me. After all, it's something from the real world. " After the explanation, the two of them laughed and chatted as they walked. When they passed by the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but take a few more glances.
