Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor Chapter 1430 - 256: The Cruel Truth
Previously on Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor...
Three thousand years of trials, Hu Yan passed, Ye Xiu failed, and then, Ye Xiu forgot it all.
Hu Yan, even the chance to become a god, can be abandoned, so how could she betray Ye Xiu.
But the fact is, back then, Ye Xiu believed Hu Yan betrayed her, the two broke apart, and ultimately the Eight Desolate Beast Clan was defeated in the Dutian Blood Realm, Hu Yan and Ye Xiu died.
"Divine Master, may I ask, what was their trial back then?" Yun Sheng’s heart was in her throat, she vaguely guessed that this might be the fundamental reason for Hu Yan and Ye Xiu’s break.
It was also crucial to her finding the last part of the Sky Fox Relics.
"Ye Xiu and Hu Yan’s trial was the same. Their trial was whether they could accept the peaceful coexistence of the Human Clan and the Beast Clan, the result is understandable." The events passed three thousand years ago, but whenever the Four Directions Divine Sovereign recalls the trial, he feels deeply moved.
Hu Yan was a woman with a broad mind, she practiced medicine and helped the world, and had a good relationship with the Human Clan, but Ye Xiu, when young, his parents were harmed by the Human Clan, so he always hated humans.
Although they deeply loved each other, they were opposed on this most fundamental principle.
"I see, no wonder at the critical moment, Hu Yan and Ye Xiu broke apart. But even so, Hu Yan never betrayed Ye Xiu. She gave up going to the Divine World alone, choosing to stay and accompany Ye Xiu, isn’t that enough to prove her love for Ye Xiu?" Yun Sheng felt deeply unfair for Hu Yan.
That affectionate yet strong woman, she sacrificed her chance to become a deity, ultimately unable to be with Ye Xiu, instead becoming the person he hated most. Ye Xiu even resorted to setting up an Ancient Forbidden Curse, cursing the men and women of the Sky Fox and Hei Qilin Tribe for generations.
"That’s because you don’t know, back then during the war between the Beast Clan and Human Clan, the Beast Clan had the absolute upper hand. It was then that Hu Yan gave the blueprint of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, which she had thoughtfully created over the years, to a strong Human Clan figure." Upon these words of the Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign, even Bo Bo and Mingri were startled.
"How can it be? The Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts were actually created by Hu Yan?" Yun Sheng never thought the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts were not created by the Human Clan.
"No wonder they are called Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, but Hu Yan doing so is tantamount to betraying the Eight Desolate Beast Clan." Bo Bo clicked his tongue, these people’s thoughts and actions are so intricate.
"Hu Yan never betrayed Ye Xiu, she was a wise woman, understanding some divination and medicine. Perhaps she foresaw everything earlier, which is why back then she pleaded with me to teach her the method of dispersing the Sky Fox Relics, leading to today’s situation." The Four Directions Divine Sovereign understood with clarity, she knows too that Yun Sheng invited her here primarily to inquire about the whereabouts of the last piece of the Sky Fox Relics on Hu Yan.
"That’s great, Mother Goddess, you really know the whereabouts of that piece of the Sky Fox Relics. Mother Goddess, please be kind and tell the master, she has used every method in search of the Sky Fox Relics, nearly worrying herself into an old lady." Bo Bo pulled on the Divine Robe of the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, shaking vigorously.
"You child, after all these years, still this same demeanor. I indeed entrusted you to Hu Yan for your training back then." The Four Directions Divine Sovereign was helplessly worn down by Bo Bo.
Indeed, everything is surely destined by fate.
The Four Directions Divine Sovereign did not anticipate that when she entrusted Bo Bo to Hu Yan, Hu Yan would soon use the divine skill she taught her to divide the Sky Fox Relics into four parts, passing away tragically.
"Where is Hu Yan’s last piece of Sky Fox Relics?" Yun Sheng grew tense.
"Are you sure you want to know the answer?" The Four Directions Divine Sovereign sighed, human affairs are unpredictable, Hu Yan and Ye Xiu had become an eternal regret, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign originally did not want to see another regret occur.
"Divine Master, please reveal it." Whether the disaster on the Wuji Continent and Bahuang Continent can be resolved depends on the whereabouts of Hu Yan’s last piece of Sky Fox Relics.
"That piece of Sky Fox Relics is actually far but near, just within his body." Saying thus, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign gazed at Ye Beiming.
There was no surprise as expected, Ye Beiming merely gazed serenely at the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, seemingly unsurprised.
"How can it be? Ye Hu is a Black Qilin, how can he have the Sky Fox Relics within him?" Yun Sheng found it hard to believe, suspecting the Four Directions Divine Sovereign must have been mistaken.
"Originally, he had no Sky Fox Relics in him, Hu Yan’s fourth part of Sky Fox Relics was left in Kirin King Ye Xiu’s bones, she did so to give Ye Xiu a better chance of survival. However, when Mingri used Hellfire to regenerate flesh on his bones, that piece of Sky Fox Relics was transferred into his flesh and bone." The Four Directions Divine Sovereign didn’t know that her two disciples secretly carried out such heaven-defying acts even in the Divine World.
"How can we extract the Sky Fox Relics from his body?" Yun Sheng asked.
Earlier, she used Dream Prophecy to extract the Sky Fox Relics from her mother and Lady Ruolan, it’s unknown whether the same method can apply to Ye Beiming.
"You and Ye Beiming are of different races, without any blood relation, extracting the relic requires spirit and flesh merging. I say this, you should understand." The Four Directions Divine Sovereign shook her head sorrowfully.
Between man and woman, spirit and flesh merging, that implies... but between her and Ye Hu, there’s the constraint of an Ancient Forbidden Curse... This means... Yun Sheng was unwilling to think further.
"So it indeed is, actually, when undertaking Emperor Hong Chapter Nine’s trials, I had a suspicion, but at that time, I was not certain." Ye Beiming smiled blandly, neither complaining nor feeling sorrow, simply accepting the fact serenely.
"Ye Hu, you knew all along? What kind of trial did you undertake in Emperor Hong’s Ancient Tomb? Why didn’t you tell me then?" Yun Sheng looked at the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, then at Ye Beiming, then at the gloomy Mingri and Bo Bo beside her.
The ominous premonition in her heart grew stronger.
"Bo Bo, Mingri, leave them alone for a while." The Four Directions Divine Sovereign spoke softly, Bo Bo left red-eyed, along with Mingri, leaving only Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.
"Yun Sheng, I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to dwell on it." Ye Beiming gazed tenderly at Yun Sheng, gently holding her in his arms. "Besides, telling you would change nothing. For my choice has always been to ensure your survival."
