The Six Desires Demonic Sect was a Major Sect of Demonic Dao in the eastern region. Its status was equivalent to that of the Green Spirit Sect.

 

It was said that Six Desires Ancestor discovered the Cave Mansion of an ancient Demon Sect and acquired its inheritance. That was how he founded the Six Desires Demonic Sect.

 

If not for the fact that the Six Desires Demonic Sect was besieged by the Righteous Forces, which caused the Sect to fall apart and most of its disciples to be killed, the Six Desires Ancestor would not have come to eastern region. Naturally, he would not need to fight for his Sect’s own territory and resources – against the Green Spirit Sect and the other Forces.

 

It so happened that Forces like the Green Spirit Sect and the Six Desires Demonic Sect held a tournament between them, which took place every several decades. They would sent disciples to a broken secret realm to get some training.

 

The Elders of the Green Spirit Sect pinned their hopes on Chen Jinshuang. As the mainstay of the tournament, she would naturally go to the broken secret realm.

 

After the going through the secret realm, Chen Jinshuang went to seclusion. The Elders had no idea what she had gone through or acquired. However, it was apparent that her cultivation and aura had become more terrifying.

 

Another thing happened at the same time which shocked the entire Green Spirit Sect. For some reason, the Unmarred Celestial Body, which was recorded in ancient books, was suddenly awakened within the body of a female servant.

 

According to the ancient books, such a rare Celestial Body would not be found even in hundreds of thousands of years. Even a Supreme Sect in the ancient era would use all its resources to nurture a disciple with this Celestial Body.

 

As long as the person with such this Celestial Body was not killed, he or she would become a Supreme Being in the future. The person would be the Fated One.

 

A commotion broke out in the Green Spirit Sect because of this. The Elders were flabbergasted because the female servant whose Unmarred Celestial Body was awakened was one of the Princesses they had brought back from the Great Chen Kingdom. She was none other than Chen Jinshuang’s Twin Sister, Chen Jinhan.

 

They could not believe that the Princess they had regarded as having no aptitude had the Unmarred Celestial Body. Such an incredible Talent was rarely found in the ancient era.

 

As long as they carefully nurtured Chen Jinhan, her achievements would surely surpass those of her Older Sister in the future.

 

Everyone in the Green Spirit Sect was overjoyed, believing that fortune had been bestowed upon them by Heaven.

 

With disciples like the two Sisters, they would not have to worry about their Sect not flourishing.

 

As for Chen Jinshuang, she was oblivious to this matter since she was in seclusion.

 

…

 

In the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls, Yin Energy was everywhere, and countless Cursed Souls could be heard growling. They were just like mist, but with different hideous forms.

 

This was a dangerous area in the eastern region. It was said to have something to do with the previous era.

 

It was the burial site of countless lives.

 

The Yin Energy had engulfed the entire area. Although it was daytime, the place was still freezing. Even from afar, one could hear countless Cursed Souls’ horrific howling.

 

A bloodied figure lay on the ground. It was apparent that she was badly injured. Her long hair, which was dampened by blood, covered her entire face.

 

The Cursed Souls that were as chilly as the mist and poisonous insects which grew in the miasma were gnawing at her flesh.

 

Bones with some flesh still hanging on them could be seen in many places. The horrifying sounds of bones being gnawed at could be heard at the bottom of this frosty abyss.

 

Chen Jinhan opened her bloodied eyes with difficulty and looked up at the almost pitch-black sky.

 

This was the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls, where no sunlight could reach. It was an excellent place to bury corpses.

 

She had never expected that she would be thrown into such a place one day. What more, the person who did it to her was her Older Sister.

 

She tried to move her body but realised she failed to do so. Her entire body ached. Her limbs and spine were broken. There was not a single bone in her body that was still intact.

 

Having fallen from such a great height, she had no idea how she had even survived, considering her weak cultivation.

 

The initial excruciating pain, despondence, and fear had turned into nothing but numbness now.

 

Images from the past flashed across her mind. Both of them became cultivators in the Green Spirit Sect at a young age. More than ten years seemed to have gone by in the blink of an eye. The last thing she remembered was her Older Sister looking icily at her.

 

She initially thought that after her Unmarred Celestial Body was awakened, her Older Sister would treat her differently. She had hoped that her Older Sister would stop looking down on her, thinking that she was useless. However, when Chen Jinshuang learned everything after exiting seclusion, she was not elated. Instead, she became even more disdainful of her Little Sister. Her treated of her worsened.

 

Chen Jinhan had repeatedly fawned over her Older Sister and made concessions, hoping to mend their relationship. But the result? All her efforts were in vain. She initially thought that her actions would soften her heart.

 

Much to her surprise, after she left the Sect following Chen Jinshuang’s order, she brought her to this place and brutally tore her face off. Furthermore, she used a Forbidden Technique of Demonic origin to take away her Aptitude, after which she was pushed her into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls.

 

Chen Jinhan could not understand why her Older Sister would do that to her when she had done nothing wrong.

 

A sorrowful Chen Jinhan closed her eyes. When she reopened them, the bloodied eyes were only left with hollowness and indifference.

 

Exhaustion and pain came sweeping over her again. In a groggy state, she closed her eyes. Before she lost consciousness, she swore that if there was a next life, she would make her vicious Sister pay for what she had done.

 

“Are you having a nightmare again?” Suddenly, an old but gentle voice sounded beside Chen Jinhan. She opened her eyes and caught a whiff of herbal fragrance.

 

This was a slightly dilapidated brick house with a tiled roof. The corners were full of cracks. An amiable white-haired old woman with a hunched back was walking towards her while holding a bowl.

 

Chen Jinhan was still bewildered, but she soon came to her senses. She finally recalled that she did not die in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls. The old woman before her eyes had saved her.

 

She would usually call the old woman ‘Grandma Tong’, who was a Nun of a nearby temple.

 

There was only a short distance between the dilapidated house and the temple. So, from the house, they could see what was going on at the temple.

 

The temple was covered in smoke from incense sticks. Some villagers had brought some offerings to this place to pray. As the Nun, Grandma Tong would go to the mountain to pick herbs and help treat the patients of the nearby village.

 

She had discovered Chen Jinhan, who had passed out in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls, while she was picking herbs at the bottom of the abyss at that time.

 

Chen Jinhan could not bring herself to believe she was so fortunate. Even cultivators would not dare to step into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls. Although Grandma Tong did not seem to have any cultivation, she could enter the bottom of the abyss as though she was merely taking a stroll in the park and pick herbs.

 

Chen Jinhan came to the logical conclusion that Grandma Tong must a powerful cultivator who stayed in this remote area – someone who she could not see through.

 

“Drink up.” Grandma Tong’s gentle voice brought Chen Jinhan back to reality.

 

“Thanks, Grandma…” She said gently and opened her mouth with difficulty.

 

Her entire face was covered in white bandages, revealing only her eyes, mouth, and some gap at the nose for her to breathe. She dares not even look at her face, worried that she would have nightmares.

 

All her bones were broken – not a single one was intact. She could not even move a muscle, let alone walk. She was like a worm that could only squirm. Although Grandma Tong was adept at medicine, she could not heal her wounds in such a short time.

 

Also, the miasma from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Souls and the Yin Energy still lingered on Chen Jinhan’s body. It was a miracle that she was still breathing.

 

After feeding her the medicine, Grandma Tong turned around and returned to the temple. Chen Jinhan moved her eyes with difficulty to trace the old woman.

 

In the temple, many villagers were kneeling and praying with all their hearts.

 

“The Gods aren’t almighty, but the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader is.” She faintly heard Grandma Tong chanting something. The old woman seemed to be reading out some ancient scripture.

 

At that moment, Grandma Tong seemed to be radiating a sacred glow. Anyone would turn solemn at the sight of this.

 

The faint silver glow surrounded the temple. It was conspicuous even in the daytime.

 

Chen Jinhan felt the glow extending towards her and landed on her. At that moment, she felt an indescribable warmth. It felt like sunlight in the winter or a breeze in the summer. Even the pain she felt had been significantly alleviated for some reason.

 

At this point, she was not sure if she was having a hallucination.

 

“But for a God, being called Heavenslayers Alliance Leader is so strange. I’ve never heard of a God with a name as bizarre as this…” Chen Jinhan muttered.
