“It seems that you would rather do things the hard way. If you know what’s good for you, then hand the Eternal Divine Furnace to us. That’s not something you are allowed to possess.”

 

The Clansmen of the Divine Eternal Clan scowled, looking even more displeased than before. It had not occurred to them that Mu Yan would stubbornly refuse to return the Eternal Divine Furnace even though they had clearly spelt out the situation for her or that her attitude to be so resolute.

 

In any case, they simply assumed that her confidence came from her reliance on Gu Changge, whom she believed would wholeheartedly support her. They immediately coldly sneered. “Mu Yan, do you really think you can depend on others in this place?

 

“The World Principles within the Azure Sky Realm can destroy and rearrange the Principles of the outside world. Even Immortal Emperors, who can wantonly traverse the River of Time, have to be careful here. After all, here, he would be unable to exert even one ten-thousandth of the power he would have been able to muster up outside.”

 

“If we were in the outside world, we would not have dared to harm you in any way. But, you should not forget that we are now inside the Azure Sky Realm. Whether you live or die, the decision lies completely in our hands.”

 

Their statement was also meant as a reminder for Gu Changge. They thought that he was helping Mu Yan because he did not know about the special nature of the Azure Sky Realm. Therefore, they were certain he would most likely stop interfering in this matter once he realised the dangers in this place.

 

“The Eternal Divine Furnace is a Divine Artifact of the Divine Eternal Clan. We only lost it because it was stolen from us in the past. Please don’t interfere in this matter, Young Master Gu. After we return from the Azure Sky Realm, we will definitely hold a banquet in your honour to thank you for your deeds today.”

 

At this moment, the other Clansmen exchanged a glance with each other and took the initiative to cup their fists at Gu Changge with a sincere attitude.

 

They did not wish to offend Gu Changge unless truly necessary. After all, there was no denying that his background was extremely terrifying.

 

They did not know that the Immortal Spirit Civilisation had already descended into chaos. Many Forces, including the Divine Eternal Clan, had been dragged into the war between the Zhuo Clan and the Wu Clan, powerless to even protect themselves.

 

“Are you threatening me?” Gu Changge smiled faintly after listening to them, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

 

The people from the Divine Eternal Clan frowned and opened their mouths to speak again.

 

However, Li Yang waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to waste their breath. Walking forward, he glanced at Mu Yan and calmly said, “I’m sure you know very well how the Eternal Divine Furnace went missing, Mu Yan. The Eternal Divine Furnace is not something you can control. Besides, you should know that Mother specifically left the Eternal Divine Furnace for me. She simply wanted you to temporarily protect the treasure in my stead. Now that I’m here, shouldn’t you return the Eternal Divine Furnace to me?”

 

He appeared very calm on the surface. There was not the slightest hint of his hatred and disgust for her in his demeanour. Naturally, he did not address her as his Sister but called her directly by her name instead.

 

When Mu Yan heard those words, her expression became conflicted. She had watched her Little Brother grow up with her own eyes. Even after she was expelled from the Divine Eternal Clan, she constantly worried about him. And yet, he could not even bring himself to call her ‘Sister’.

 

In any case, she had already noticed the glowing jade pendant in Li Yang’s hand. The jade pendant was what kept attracting the Eternal Divine Furnace earlier.

 

How could she not recognise the jade pendant? That was something her Mother had always placed in the dressing room and cherished greatly. She originally thought that the jade pendant had been lost. Thus, she had grieved its loss for a very long time. It never occurred to her that her Mother had handed the jade pendant to Li Yang.

 

“The Eternal Divine Furnace is right here. If you want it, then take it.”

 

Likewise, Mu Yan was just as calm. How could she not know about Li Yang’s hatred for her? It was just that she had always been trying to compensate for everything. She believed that her existence was the reason why he suffered so much mockery and ridicule during his childhood.

 

However, Li Yang not only ignored her completely but also instructed the Divine Eternal Clan to make things difficult for her during the banquet for Zhuo Wu’s disciple initiation ceremony.

 

Ever since that incident, she had gradually come to terms with the situation.

 

It was just as Gu Changge previously said to her: She did not owe Li Yang anything. He was only able to obtain his present achievements thanks to her half of the Divine Eternal Clan Bloodline, which originally belonged to her.

 

After hearing that, Li Yang scowled deeply. He could not shake the feeling that the current Mu Yan was very different from the person he knew before. Nevertheless, everything he mentioned earlier was the truth.

 

The jade pendant his Mother left for him could somehow attract the Eternal Divine Furnace and also guide him to the location of the Eternal Divine Furnace. He might not have noticed anything previously, but the feeling became increasingly obvious after Mu Yan brought out the Eternal Divine Furnace.

 

“Fine. I will make sure the Divine Eternal Clan does not make things difficult for you.”

 

In any case, he did not think too deeply about the matter and simply responded calmly. He was determined to retrieve the Eternal Divine Furnace. If Mu Yan refused to cooperate, then he would have no choice but to take action.

 

He did not believe Mu Yan and her companion, Gu Changge, could stop them.

 

*Hum!* When he raised his hand, the jade pendant immediately flew out. The light glowing from within the jade pendant became increasingly brighter.

 

Floating in midair, the jade pendant resembled the scorching Sun intertwined with several billion rays of Divine Light.

 

In response, Mu Yan felt the Eternal Divine Furnace in her hands becoming even more difficult to control as it struggled to fly forward. Deep down in her heart, she knew that Li Yang was speaking the truth. Her Mother had specifically left the Eternal Divine Furnace for him. Otherwise, her Mother would not have given him the jade pendant.

 

As the golden light spread throughout the sky, the Eternal Divine Furnace soared into the sky and began to expand.

 

It started as the size of a fist and soon became as tall as a man. Floating in midair, the furnace was extremely majestic.

 

The body of the furnace was engraved with simple patterns, including the Sun, the Moon, and countless Stars. There were also patterns various of living creatures and natural sceneries. They seemed to contain some form of supreme meaning.

 

At this moment, there seemed to be a force inside the entire Azure Sky Realm that resonated with the Eternal Divine Furnace. The horrifying aura surged violently and poured in from all directions like a raging tsunami.

 

*Crack!* The jade pendant suddenly shattered.

 

A simple furnace lid, which was glowing with the same golden light and surrounded by billions of World Principles, burst out from the jade pendant and landed perfectly on the Eternal Divine Furnace with a loud metallic clang.

 

“There really was a lid?”

 

Mu Yan was stunned by the sight before her.

 

At the time, she thought that Gu Changge was simply joking around with her. To think that the lid would actually appear. Furthermore, her Mother had left the lid to Li Yang so that he could control the Eternal Divine Furnace.

 

She turned her head to look at Gu Changge only to see him smile as though he had anticipated the current situation.

 

“The lid of the Eternal Divine Furnace has always been in my hands!?”

 

Similarly, Li Yang was just as shocked. He never imagined that the lid of the Eternal Divine Furnace was sealed inside the jade pendant. If he had not encountered the Eternal Divine Furnace today, he would never have known.

 

At this moment, the lid and the body of the furnace merged together as one. It was as though everything in the world had been unified.

 

The soaring beams of Divine Light suddenly converged.

 

In the next moment, the rudimentary forms of the overwhelming Great Dao evolved in the surroundings to imprint their mark on the Eternal Divine Furnace.

 

At the same time, an endless flow of terrifying power that almost seemed capable of destroying the entire universe erupted across the Azure Sky Realm. Even the cultivators separated by a huge distance were filled with apprehension at this moment and glanced in its direction.

 

“Now, this is the complete Eternal Divine Furnace. As expected of the Clan’s Divine Artifact, it has such power even though it has yet to be fully restored.”

 

Li Yang was indescribably delighted, so much so that the emotions on his face could no longer be concealed.

 

For some reason, he felt as though there was some sort of Bloodline connection with the Eternal Divine Furnace. It was as though somebody had already helped him refine the Eternal Divine Furnace, so the Eternal Divine Furnace was simply waiting for him to take control.

 

On the contrary, Mu Yan’s complexion turned pale and ashen. She coughed up a mouthful of blood.

 

“My connection with the Eternal Divine Furnace has been completely severed…” A bitter smile appeared on her face, but she looked disappointed and hurt more than anything else.

 

She covered her forehead with her hands, feeling broken-hearted.

 

She originally thought that her Mother had specifically left the Eternal Divine Furnace to her. Who could have known that she was there, simply to nurture the Eternal Divine Furnace for Li Yang throughout the years?

 

In the end, the Eternal Divine Furnace belonged to him.

 

Were her Mother’s words back then only to comfort and deceive her? She was asked to protect the Eternal Divine Furnace and warned never to reveal its existence to others. But, why did her Mother not tell her that it was meant for Li Yang in the future?

 

All these years… She had been happy for nothing. Everything turned out to be just her own delusions.

 

“Mother, you’re as biased as usual… No matter what I do, I will always be hated because of my Father. There was no exception, even at the end.”

 

Mu Yan murmured softly. The look in her eyes had gone hollow, reflecting neither Li Yang or the Eternal Divine Furnace in front of her.

 

Meanwhile, those of the Divine Eternal Clan secretly exchanged a glance with each other. They had communicated with each other through secret means earlier. In the end, they decided to carry out their murderous intentions because the matter regarding the Eternal Divine Furnace was simply too important.

 

Gu Changge might not help Mu Yan due to the situation at hand, but that might not be true once they safely departed from the Azure Sky Realm.

 

If they later exposed the whereabouts of the Eternal Divine Furnace, the revelation would definitely bring about endless unprovoked trouble to the Divine Eternal Clan. If that were to happen, would the situation not become even more troublesome?

 

“We cannot let them leave the Azure Sky Realm alive. But, now is not the right time to take action. Once they lower their guard, we will dispatch our men to track them down and quietly eliminate them. Then, we will push the blame on the Azure Sky Realm…”

 

In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged opinions and reached an agreement.

 

“As thanks for the Eternal Divine Furnace, we will not make things difficult for you. Mu Yan, you better behave yourself.”

 

Li Yang’s heart was surging with excitement, but he glanced at Mu Yan and spoke indifferently. He simultaneously waved his hand, and the Eternal Divine Furnace that had merged together as one in midair immediately flew toward him so that he could retrieve the treasure.

 

Contrary to expectations, a crystal-clear and overwhelmingly powerful palm print suddenly appeared and shot toward the Eternal Divine Furnace.

 

Following a deafening collision that shook the sky, the Eternal Divine Furnace crashed to the ground. Even the nearby mountains were destroyed by the impact.

 

*Bleurgh!* Suffering from the backlash, Li Yang turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body simultaneously trembled as though he had been struck by lightning.

 

He had to stagger backwards a few times before he could regain his balance. Then, he glared ahead with a mixture of shock and fury.

 

“What the Hell are you doing!?”

 

It never occurred to him that Gu Changge would suddenly take action to stop him at this time.

 

“Did I allow you to take the furnace away?” There was a faint smile on Gu Changge’s face. Moreover, his tone was leisurely.

 

“This is the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Artifact! Are you planning to get in our way, Young Master Gu?”

 

The others from the Divine Eternal Clan abruptly had an ominous feeling, and those planning a secret ambush earlier hastily brought out their respective Artifacts as though they were facing an extremely formidable enemy.

 

Nobody had expected Gu Changge to attack. Furthermore, there seemed to be something strange about his strength.

 

It had to be said that many Principles were subjected to Suppression inside the Azure Sky Realm, Artifacts were no exception.

 

In the outside world, these people had the strength of the Immortal King Realm. They could freely travel the Star Territory and cross the universe at any time. Be that as it may, the most they could achieve inside the Azure Sky Realm was hovering slightly above the ground. In addition, they could not maintain flight for very long.

 

“Who can stop me if that is what I plan to do?” Gu Changge nonchalantly mocked.

 

This place might be special, but the Suppression did not affect him. I simply could not affect him. It would be easier for him to slaughter the group of people in front of him than to crush a bug to death.
