The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3496: It Seems This Truly Is Heaven’s Will (Second Update)

Lan Ying offered a gentle smile and explained, "This was once viewed as a closely guarded secret within our Refining God Peak, yet because you rescued Shuhui, revealing it to you poses no issue. The events trace back over ten thousand years..."

The founder of Refining God Peak was revealed to be Lan Shaoyuan, and all Divine Masters across the ages had come from the Lan Family.

Long ago, Refining God Peak stood as a mighty power across the entire Outer Realm, reaching its zenith when it nearly ascended to the Heavenly Human Domain!

During that era, Refining God Peak earned fame as the supreme peak of the Outer Realm, far surpassing the present Divine Peak...

Rumors claim that the Divine Peak in the Star Swirl Domain was nothing more than a mere fragment from the authentic Refining God Peak...

However, a devastating event later struck, plunging Refining God Peak into the brink of total sect annihilation, causing the Outer Realm's loftiest peak to crumble entirely!

Though fragments of its Daoist traditions managed to survive by a narrow margin, the price paid was enormous, reducing the once-majestic Refining God Peak to a small faction within the Star Swirl Domain...

Refining God Peak has lost its past glory, and the Lan Family's influence within it has sharply declined.

At that time, a clan called the Song Family emerged in the Star Swirl Domain, pretending to aid Refining God Peak in its struggles, but their true intent was to seize the Daoist traditions and control the whole sect!

Following this, the Lan Family found itself utterly oppressed by the Song Family, with Divine Masters thereafter bearing the Song surname instead of Lan!

Yet, despite the Song Family taking over as Divine Masters of Refining God Peak, lacking descent from Lan Shaoyuan's line meant certain secrets remained exclusive to the Lan Family!

One such secret involved how Lan Shaoyuan rose to prominence in those ancient days!

Lan Ying's gaze flickered with emotion, her face showing a mix of feelings as she continued, "In the past, everyone recognized my ancestor Lan Shaoyuan solely as the founder of Refining God Peak, a peerless powerhouse, unaware of his other role as one of the Six Evil—Refining God!"

Ye Chen's brows knitted together as he questioned, "Six Evil? Refining God? What do those mean?"

Lan Ying replied, "During ancient times, a mysterious ancient being of unknown origins surfaced in the Outer Realm, called the Fiend. This Fiend got sealed away by the combined might of the Outer Realm's top experts, but as the sealing occurred, six objects termed Evil Artifacts scattered across the Outer Realm.

Every one of these Evil Artifacts represents a enigmatic Supreme Treasure that eclipses even Emperor Artifacts!

The warriors chosen by these six Evil Artifacts as their owners became known as the Six Evil; their code names drew directly from the titles of those six Evil Artifacts!

Those six included Refining God Evil, Spirit Transforming Evil, Jue Ming Sha, Extreme Yin Evil, Soul Chasing Evil, and Wu You Sha.

Armed with the Evil Artifacts, the Six Evil surged to tremendous power, united by a single burning ambition: to free the imprisoned Fiend! Only through that could they unlock even greater, defying-heavens might!

To achieve this, the Six Evil unleashed chaos and bloodshed across the Outer Realm; for a while, the mere whisper of the Six Evil filled the Outer Realm with dread!"

All at once, a gleam of light materialized in Lan Ying's palm, unveiling a fractured sword strikingly akin to the Slaughter Sword owned by Ye Chen!

Moreover, despite its damaged state and the passage of endless years, the shattered sword still radiated a fierce spiritual pressure!

With a heavy sigh, she stated, "This fractured blade is the 'Refining God,' which shattered amid the massive disaster of that era—not just Refining God Peak suffered so; the fate of the Six Evil mirrored it, leaving no complete Evil Artifacts in the Outer Realm today...

Save for the Slaughter Sword you wield!"

Lan Ying's voice grew eager as she exclaimed, "According to legend, the Fiend forged not six but seven Evil Artifacts; the seventh, named Soul-devouring, held the ultimate power! Ye Chen, the Slaughter Sword in your grasp must be that Soul-devouring, isn't it?"

Ye Chen gave a nod, seeing no reason to deny it since Lan Ying's knowledge of Evil Artifacts outshone his own, rendering secrecy pointless.

Lan Ying grinned and noted, "Then, this Tian Sha Order could prove quite valuable."

Curiosity sparked in Ye Chen as he inquired, "Tian Sha Order?"

Lan Ying produced a token, etched in an archaic and unadorned manner, exuding an odd aura.

"Although every one of the six Evil Artifacts met destruction, the Six Evil once crafted six Tian Sha Orders in their time. Legend says the Fiend was confined within a realm known as Juesha Heaven, and the Tian Sha Order serves as the entry key to Juesha Heaven!"

"When our Lan Family ancestor acquired the Tian Sha Order, chaos engulfed Refining God Peak before he could venture into Juesha Heaven, destroying the Evil Artifacts and burying that plan— it seems fate has its designs. Ye Chen, if you desire this Tian Sha Order, feel free to claim it."

Hearing this, joy surged through Ye Chen, as fully unsealing the Slaughter Sword would vastly boost his power!

His success at Refining God Peak this time stemmed partly from the Blood Night's aid, and partly from the Heavenly Dao Six Saints channeling all of Refining God Peak's support toward him.

Such assistance won't exist in the Divine Kingdom or elsewhere in the Outer Realm; he can't recreate today's miraculous triumph.

Upgrading the Slaughter Sword would aid him greatly against the Outer Realm Demon Emperor and Xuanyuan Moxie!

Without delay, he accepted the Tian Sha Order and expressed his gratitude, "Many thanks for your generosity, Senior."

Lan Ying smiled warmly, glancing at Jin Shuhui nearby, and remarked, "You saved this girl; it's I who owes you thanks. Shuhui may be just my disciple, but I've raised her as my own daughter, having no children of my own—and your rising strength will aid both her and Refining God Peak, won't it?"

Jin Shuhui's cheeks flushed red as she murmured shyly, "Master!"

It was evident Lan Ying had linked Jin Shuhui's future with Ye Chen's.

Right as Ye Chen prepared to probe deeper into Juesha Heaven's details, a surge of dim gray light erupted from the Tian Sha Order in his grip!

A deep, raspy male voice echoed from the Tian Sha Order, "I am Jue Ming, among the Six Evil. In three days, the seal on Juesha Heaven will reach its frailest point in a thousand years, offering the prime moment for us inheritors of the Six Evil to free the Fiend!

For tens of thousands of years, the Six Evil have lain in wait for this chance; now, we must reunite to complete our sacred duty! All inheritors of the Six Evil who hear this, make your way to Juming Island in the Star Swirl Domain!"

Within the vast hall, Ye Chen and the two women stood frozen in shock upon hearing this!

Suddenly, both Lan Ying and Jin Shuhui turned to Ye Chen with odd looks on their faces...

The Tian Sha Order had only moments ago passed to Ye Chen, and already it broadcast such a summons?

They were certain that during its time with the Lan Family, it had shown no hint of activation!

Lan Ying let out a wry chuckle and observed, "It appears this is truly the will of the heavens."

Jin Shuhui's brows creased faintly, her voice laced with concern as she asked, "Ye Chen, are you thinking of heading to Juming Island? Doesn't this seem overly timed? It feels somewhat off."

"Plus, as you mentioned, you only have fifteen days left in the Outer Realm; you need to return in time for the clash between Xuanyuan Moxie and Mo Xue Ming in the Divine Kingdom! And haven't you still got to visit Heavenly Demon Land?"

Without doubt, the timing feels suspicious; after all, with the Six Evil's Evil Artifacts ruined, why would Jue Ming still seek entry to Juesha Heaven?

Fortunately, merely half of the fifteen days have elapsed.

Seven days remain.

Perfectly suited.
