Chapter 918 - 1018: The Overlooked Divine Artifact
"Rest assured, I won't make a move against you. I see great potential in you. I've chosen you as the next Demon Sect Leader, so I certainly won't harm you." said the Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji.Upon hearing Zhang Youji's words, Ye Tianfan frowned and then said, "Give up. I won't join your Demon Sect, not now, not ever. Even in death, I wouldn't join your Demon Sect, nor do evil deeds!"
The Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, hearing Ye Tianfan's words, was not angered. Instead, he chuckled and said, "For now, you can say whatever you want, because you haven't truly witnessed the real darkness of this world. The darkness I'm talking about doesn't just pertain to the Demon Sect, but also includes your righteous sects, including your Taichu Sect!"
Ye Tianfan scoffed and then said, "What? Are you trying to influence my impression of the Taichu Sect and make me join the Demon Sect? That's impossible, because I don't believe anything you say. I've determined that everything you say is meant to get me to join the Demon Sect, not the truth. Whether darkness or light, I have my own judgment, and you can't sway it. So, I won't join the Demon Sect just because of a few words from you!"
The Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, laughed and said, "I never intended for you to join the Demon Sect just because of a few words from me. I want you to join when you truly wish to. As for the darkness I'm talking about, you indeed need to see it for yourself to believe it. If you haven't seen it, no matter how much I say, you won't believe. I can assure you, the darkness of the righteous path isn't any less than ours in the Demon Sect. 'Righteous' and 'Demonic' are just names written by victors and losers. If they originally thought of themselves as the demonic path, and us as the righteous, then 'demonic' would have become a positive term and 'righteous' a negative one. I won't say anything bad about the righteous path; I'll only tell you the facts. As for whether they are true, you'll need to see them with your own eyes. Only then will you believe the darkness hidden within the righteous sects."
After saying this, Zhang Youji summoned a staff-like Magical Treasure, stepped onto it, and said to Ye Tianfan, "This time I'm really leaving. My goal has been achieved. Oh, you wanted to know my purpose, right? I can tell you my purpose was the Supreme Divine Iron. As for what the Supreme Divine Iron is or its effect, if you don't know, you can ask your sect elders. I won't accompany you any further. Goodbye, I hope next time we meet, you've come around to wanting to join our Demon Sect. Even if you don't join next time, it's alright. I'm in no rush; I have plenty of time to wait!"
With that, the Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, departed swiftly!
Ye Tianfan stood there with a grim face as he watched the Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, leave, feeling helpless. The difference in power was too vast. Even if he risked his life, he probably couldn't stop Zhang Youji, and if he angered him, he might be taken to the Demon Sect Headquarters, leaving him with no recourse.
Ye Tianfan, feeling a bit frustrated, sat down on the ground, regretting why he had come back. Even if he knew the Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, was plotting here, what could he do? He had no means whatsoever, and it was nothing but humiliation.
Actually, Ye Tianfan hadn't anticipated that the Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youyi, would use an Array.
An Array directly blocked all of Ye Tianfan's efforts. Without it, perhaps Ye Tianfan could have snatched the divine object from Zhang Youji's hands. Of course, the odds were very slim, just a tiny chance—but even a tiny chance was a lot for encountering Zhang Youji, given Ye Tianfan's power was only at the early stage of Qian Yuan, clearly no match for Zhang Youji.
Ye Tianfan dumbly watched the small pond in front of him, from which the Unparalleled Divine Seal had just appeared. Although Ye Tianfan didn't know what the Supreme Divine Iron was, he thought it must be a Supreme Magical Treasure; otherwise, Zhang Youji wouldn't have come personally. The name alone suggested it was divine, perhaps a material for Artifact Refining capable of creating a Supreme Magical Treasure. With a name like that, it likely wasn't anything ordinary.
What Ye Tianfan didn't know was, he had guessed the function of the Supreme Divine Iron almost entirely.
Suddenly, Ye Tianfan saw a faint flash of golden light from the bottom of the pond.
"Is it an illusion?" Ye Tianfan felt he might have seen something shining golden, but it was just a fleeting moment, so he wasn't sure if what he saw was real or just a mistake made in anger.
Ye Tianfan suddenly stood up. It couldn't be a mistake. With his current abilities, unless it was an Illusion Technique, there was no way he could be mistaken, as he wasn't an ordinary person.
"Could it be, there's something else in this little pond? Just that it was delayed from coming out because of the Supreme Divine Iron?" Ye Tianfan squinted at the bottom of the pond. Though the pond had become very murky due to the emergence of the Supreme Divine Iron, making it hard to see anything at the bottom, Ye Tianfan kept looking as if he could see clearly.
"Maybe there's really another item inside." Ye Tianfan decided to dive in to investigate what else might be at the pond's bottom.
With this thought, Ye Tianfan immediately formed a thin film of Spiritual Power over his body to avoid getting his clothes soaked, then jumped into the little pond!
After diving into the pond, Ye Tianfan paddled harder with his feet, moving toward the bottom of the pond.
The closer Ye Tianfan got to the bottom, the brighter the light became. Ye Tianfan found that the light didn't come from just one spot, but from many places. Though not as bright as the previous Supreme Divine Iron, it was still quite luminous.
Upon reaching a bright spot, Ye Tianfan carefully examined it and found that the brightness originated from a piece of transparent glass.
Though Ye Tianfan sensed no Spiritual Power fluctuations from the glass, the fact that it emitted a golden light suggested that the glass was surely uncommon, perhaps not reaching the level of the Supreme Divine Iron, but certainly a treasure.
Ye Tianfan cautiously lifted the piece of glass, tucking it into the Xuanhuang Pagoda. He then collected all the golden-flashing glass he could see into the Xuanhuang Pagoda.
