Thinking of this, Ding Ning suddenly remembered that some time ago, when he and Fairy of the Ninth Heaven were chatting on the bed after making love, he had inquired about the origin of Flowing Light in a roundabout way.
Fairy of the Ninth Heaven told him that there used to be an extremely powerful sect in the immortal world — the Immortal Crafting Sect.
As the name suggested, the Immortal Crafting Sect was a sect that mainly focused on crafting. At first, it was called the Divine Crafting Sect and could only be regarded as a second-rate sect in the immortal world.
But later on, the sect produced a stunning equipment refiner named Ye Liuyun. One time, when Ye Liuyun was collecting equipment refiner ores in the Celestial World's Rosy Clouds Mountain, he accidentally discovered the legendary Nine Heavens Immortal Light.
Whether it was a stroke of luck or a whimsical idea, Ye Liuyun unexpectedly used a treasure to forcibly extract the Ninth Heaven Immortal Light and boasted that he would refine an immortal weapon.
When this news came out, everyone in the immortal world laughed at him. Even his sect elders said that he was fooling around. After all, the Ninth Heaven Immortal Light was just a beam of light. How could it be used to refine a weapon?
But who would have thought that Ye Liuyun would ignore everyone's mockery and steal the key from his master, who was like a father to him, as if he was possessed by the devil. That very night, he emptied his master's treasury and disappeared from Mount Rosy Clouds.
This incident caused a great uproar in the Sect. Ye Liuyun's master was also blamed by the sect, who thought that he was in cahoots with Ye Liuyun to steal the sect's treasury. Ye Liuyun's master cried out that he was wronged and committed suicide in grief.
The entire Divine Crafting Sect dispatched a large number of disciples to Mount Rosy Cloud to search for the whereabouts of this traitor. Unfortunately, Mount Rosy Cloud was one of the most dangerous places in the immortal world.
It wasn't until ten years later that Ye Liuyun walked out of the Rosy Clouds Mountain and returned to the Divine Weapon Refining Sect. Only then did everyone know that he had actually managed to refine an Immortal Artifact, which he named — Flowing Light.
The higher-ups of the Divine Crafting Sect were overjoyed. On the surface, they praised him, but in fact, they already wanted to kill him.
After all, Ye Liuyun and his master were like father and son. If he knew that his master had been forced to death by the sect, Ye Liuyun would definitely rebel against the Divine Crafting Sect.
Hence, the higher-ups of the Divine Equipment Refining Sect took the light from Ye Liuyun's hands under the pretext of admiring the immortal artifact. Then, they suddenly turned hostile and tried to kill Ye Liuyun.
How could Ye Liuyun have imagined that his master would want to kill him? Caught off guard, he was seriously injured. If it weren't for his master's daughter, his childhood sweetheart Kuang Ziyan, who was deeply in love with him and risked her life to bring him out of the Divine Weapon Refining Sect, he would have died.
However, Kuang Ziyan was also seriously injured when she risked her life to save him. Not long after the two of them escaped into the Rosy Clouds Mountain, Kuang Ziyan died from her injuries.
Ye Liuyun's Master and Junior Sister were both dead, which made him grieve. He swore to avenge them and destroy the Divine Crafting Sect.
Although the Divine Equipment Refining Sect was furious that Ye Liuyun had escaped, they didn't think much of it. After all, Ye Liuyun's cultivation was nothing to them. After sending people to hunt him down failed, they couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
With the immortal artifact in their possession, the Divine Equipment Refining Sect immediately became the most powerful sect in the entire Immortal Realm. Countless major powers sent their disciples to join the sect, making it one of the top powers in the world. They changed their name to the Celestial Crafting Sect.
Another ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Just as the Celestial Equipment Crafting Sect was holding an induction ceremony for the young refiners, Ye Liuyun suddenly barged in alone and mercilessly slaughtered all the young refiners.
The Divine Equipment Refining Sect was enraged, as were the various major powers. The slaughtered refiners were all disciples of their respective clans, so they sent people to capture Ye Liuyun.
Unfortunately, even Immortal Emperors didn't dare to enter Rosy Clouds Mountain, let alone the experts from the major powers. Ye Liuyun always managed to escape safely.
As a result, the Celestial Crafting Sect fell into a nightmare for the next hundred years. Whenever the Divine Equipment Refining Sect recruited disciples, Ye Liuyun would appear and disappear like a ghost and slaughter them all.
The Celestial Crafting Sect and the major powers that were on good terms with the Divine Equipment Refining Sect kept their guard up against Ye Liuyun. They even set up traps to lure him into taking the bait, and succeeded in capturing or even killing him on multiple occasions. However, it wasn't Ye Liuyun himself who was captured, but rather a product of his own research: the Death Scapegoat Puppet.
When the news spread, the entire Immortal Realm was shaken. Countless major powers extended olive branches to Ye Liuyun. What a joke! A Death Scapegoat Puppet was equivalent to an extra life.
However, Ye Liuyun didn't accept their offers out of spite. He continued to do things his own way. If the Divine Equipment Refining Sect recruited disciples, he would kill every single one of them, and the older disciples of the Divine Equipment Refining Sect would suffer endless assassination attempts.
The entire Divine Equipment Refining Sect was in a state of panic. Many disciples who couldn't withstand the pressure withdrew from the sect.
Just like that, the Celestial Crafting Sect gradually fell into a state of stagnation. No faction dared to send their disciples to the Celestial Crafting Sect to be apprenticed to a master.
With no hope for the future and no successor, the Celestial Crafting Sect began to decline. From a top-tier faction, it gradually fell to a first-rate faction, then a second-rate faction … and finally, it became an unrated faction.
When the Celestial Crafting Sect didn't have enough power to protect itself, the Flowing Light Artifact naturally attracted the attention of countless factions.
This was especially true when Ye Liuguang spread the news that the Flowing Light Artifact was an immortal artifact he had refined and that the Sect Master of the Divine Equipment Refining Sect wasn't strong enough to refine it.
Countless factions gathered at the Celestial Crafting Sect to fight over the Flowing Light Artifact. In the end, the entire Celestial Crafting Sect was annihilated. Corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like rivers.
Tears of blood streamed down Ye Liuguang's face as he took the Sect Master of the Divine Equipment Refining Sect's head to pay his respects to his Master and Junior Sister's spirits in heaven.
In that battle, the Celestial Realm darkened, the sun and moon lost their light. Countless immortals wept blood as they fell, enraging the Celestial Court.
The Celestial Emperor had no choice but to suppress them. Although he was the Master of the Celestial Court, he had to consider the feelings of the various factions. He had a headache over who the Flowing Light Artifact belonged to.
Coincidentally, Xuan Ji, who was guarding the human world, had lied about Chiyou being a demon. Thus, the Celestial Emperor, who didn't know how to deal with the Flowing Light Artifact, decided to give it to the emperors of the human world, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, to use it to kill demons and shut the mouths of all the major factions.
This was the origin of the Flowing Light Artifact. But when Ding Ning thought of this story, it wasn't because of the Flowing Light Artifact, but because of Ye Liuyun's Death Scapegoat Puppet.
It was said that the Celestial Court was extremely tempted by the Death Scapegoat Puppet and wanted to ask Ye Liuyun for the method to make it. Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun had already decided to die and had seen through the ugly faces and nature of all living beings in the Celestial Realm. He would rather die than reveal the method.
The Celestial Court had no choice but to use Ye Liuyun to provoke a chaotic war in the Celestial Realm and severely punish him. After depriving him of his divine power, he was banished to the human world.
Since then, there hadn't been any news of Ye Liuyun, and everyone thought that the extraordinary Equipment Refiner from all those years ago had perished within the spatial turbulence. After all, unless one's luck was heaven defying, it was utterly impossible for a person to pass through the spatial turbulence from the Immortal Dimension to the Mortal Dimension alive.
But at this moment, Ding Ning had a bold idea. Ye Liuyun was such a brilliant disciple. Even the impossible would become possible for him.
If the Fire God really used the Death Scapegoat Puppet when he came back to life last time, then Ye Liuyun was likely to come to the human world successfully. Even if ten thousand years had passed and he must have become a skeleton, his method of making the Death Scapegoat Puppet must have been passed down.
The Soul-searching Skill was a very cruel Soul-searching Skill. Those who were searched would become idiots even if they did not die. Although Ding Ning did not know the Soul-searching Skill, his Absolute Touch could devour the memories of others.
Therefore, Ding Ning did not care whether it was cruel or not. The Death Scapegoat Puppet was of great importance and must not fall into the hands of the Descendants of God Organization. Moreover, the Fire God was a man who deserved to die, so he would not have the slightest pity for him. Therefore, he directly used the Absolute Touch to devour the memories of the Fire God.
"Ah!"
The God of Fire had a splitting headache and could not help but let out shrill screams. But what frightened him the most was that he clearly found that his memory was rapidly disappearing, which frightened him to death. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from Ding Ning's hand.
"Be obedient and don't move."
Ding Ning impatiently slapped the Fire God several times in a row, sealed his meridians, and quickly browsed through his memories.
He had to admit that devouring memories that did not belong to him was definitely not a pleasant thing. The cold hospital bed, the painful genetic experiment, the bloody killing, the obscene life …
The sinful memories belonging to the Fire God all became his memories at this moment. The realistic feeling of being there made his face turn pale, and he wished he could tear the Fire God, who had a twisted and perverted character, into pieces.
Different from other people who were forced to join the Descendants of God Organization, the Fire God, whose real name was Jarungri, was originally a disciple of a sect in India that practiced ancient Yoga. In order to seize the highest cultivation method of his sect, he inhumanely poisoned his master, and also defiled and tortured to death his master's wife and junior sister whom he had a crush on. He was not tolerated by the whole India, and a kill order was issued for him.
But it had to be said that the Fire God was a cultivation genius. During his escape, he not only practiced ancient Yoga to a superb level, but also comprehended the method of controlling his muscles by trembling his bones. With the combination of hardness and softness, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he began to kill his pursuers.
Because his methods of killing were extremely bloody and cruel, the victims had their hearts and lungs dug out and their limbs broken, which caused the indignation of both humans and gods. Even some of the reclusive old monsters in India could not stand it anymore and wanted to eliminate him out of anger.
Although the Fire God was a cultivation genius, after all, he had only practiced for a short time, so he was no match for those old monsters. He was chased to a dead end, and when he fled to a cliff, he had nowhere to go. In order to avoid being caught and tortured, he gritted his teeth and jumped off the cliff.
The old monsters thought he would definitely die, so they turned around and left. Unexpectedly, he was very lucky. Not only did he not die, but he also got a blessing in disguise. He accidentally entered a cave under the cliff.
Of course, at that time, the Fire God did not know who Ye Liuyun was. He only knew that it was a cave built by some ancient people. Except for a bottle of healing pills and a jade slip, the other treasures could not withstand the erosion of time and had decayed. After he entered the cave, Ye Liuyun's bones were oxidized and turned into powder after he entered the cave.
The method of making the Scapegoat Puppet was stored on that jade slip. But the Fire God did not have divine sense at that time, and did not know that the jade slip needed divine sense to explore. But he knew that the jade slip must not be simple to be preserved until now, so he kept it close to him.
After the Fire God swallowed the healing pills to heal his injuries, he felt that his power had improved. He was also a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, so he quietly sneaked back to India to take revenge. He unexpectedly killed an old monster who had been chasing after him.
Unexpectedly, he poked the hornet's nest. The old monsters who had been hiding from the world swarmed out in anger and besieged and intercepted him.
It was also during this escape that the Fire God, who was seriously injured and faked his death to escape the pursuit, was accidentally caught by members of the Descendants of God Organization. He was used as an experimental subject for genetic medicine experiments. He, who survived the disaster, awakened the superpower of fire.
