第三千零七十二章 天外魔君

"Madam, I dare not deceive the Young Master. How come there are only two parallel planes left now?"

Snow Spirit said with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Not wrong."

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, and for a moment, the two were speechless. However, Lin Xuan did not dwell on this issue for long; he believed that the other party would not lie to him. But it was undeniable that the three planes were now perfectly aligned.

There must have been some secret that neither of them knew about, which had caused this situation. It made no sense to be overly concerned over such a trivial matter. He could either pay more attention and gather related clues in the future or read more ancient texts.

After all, he was currently at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, with the opportunity to meet those old monsters who lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Lin Xuan believed that as long as he paid attention, this issue would not be difficult to investigate.

With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan's expression returned to normal: "Please continue."

"Very well," Snow Spirit did not dwell on the matter either and said with a slight opening of her lips, "In those days, when the Divine Witch Goddess traveled across other planes for distant tours, she obtained this extraordinary treasure known as Blue Star Sea."

"The effects of this treasure are inconceivable. Whether it's medicinal pills or precious materials, they all have a purifying effect."

"Really?"

Lin Xuan expressed his surprise just right; he did not want anyone to discover that the Blue Star Sea was already in his possession. It was necessary for him to act surprised.

"Not wrong," Snow Spirit continued without hesitation, "After obtaining this treasure, the Divine Witch Goddess was naturally very happy and no longer had any interest in traveling far away. She returned to the Spiritual Plane."

"Oh?"

"Back then, our Mo Yue Clan celebrated with great joy. With this treasure, medicinal pills or materials would no longer be obstacles on the path of cultivation. The Divine Witch Goddess and several senior elders from our clan could advance their cultivation further, ascend to immortality, and become Immortals. With their protection, the strength of our Mo Yue Clan was just around the corner. Looking at a million planes, there were no forces that could match us."

Snow Spirit's voice continued as she spoke.

Lin Xuan's expression turned even more astonished: "What you're saying is that, with this treasure in hand, the Divine Witch Goddess did not think of keeping it but instead made everyone aware of its existence?"

"Not wrong. We indeed underestimated things back then," Snow Spirit sighed and admitted, "The Mo Yue Clan was indeed very united, but as a clan with millions of people, it's impossible to keep secrets. The result was that the secret leaked out."

Lin Xuan found this rather foolish.

It didn't matter what happened; the saying went, 'A man without sin bears the guilt for his wealth.' Such an extraordinary treasure would certainly attract countless powerful beings, even if it were in the hands of King Asura.

Although the Divine Witch Goddess was not weak, her confidence to retain such a treasure after news had leaked out was overconfident. It was like a dreamer's fantasy; the Blue Star Sea did not help him achieve immortality but instead brought endless troubles and dangers. The Divine Witch Goddess and the Mo Yue Clan could not avoid being entangled in these endless problems.

The Blue Star Sea was a fuse, and who wouldn't want to possess such a treasure? Apart from various powerful beings within the Spiritual Plane, those from nearby planes also rushed over one after another.

Back then, although the Mo Yue Clan was very prosperous with many experts emerging, good people couldn't withstand too much pressure. Being the target of everyone's arrows wasn't pleasant at all.

Finally, even the mysterious Outer Plane Demons came.

"Ah, I see."

Lin Xuan finally understood the entire situation, but his doubts were more numerous: "In that case, the Mo Yue Clan was indeed in a terrible situation. However, since they knew about 'guilt for wealth,' why didn't you guys throw this hot potato out?"

The Mo Yue Clan made everyone aware of their possession of such an extraordinary treasure; it was undoubtedly a foolish thing to do. But that was just one mistake among many. The clan had its wise and intelligent people; Lin Xuan did not believe they would come up with such a simple solution in that situation.

Although the loss of the Blue Star Sea was regrettable, under these circumstances, they needed the courage to cut off their own arm.

The Divine Witch Goddess was a genius; she wouldn't fail to understand this simple truth.

"Young Master said it correctly; in that case, abandoning the Blue Star Sea is the only choice. However, the problem is that the treasure has already disappeared. Even if we wanted to discard this hot potato, we couldn't do so."

"Why would it disappear?"

Lin Xuan found this increasingly intriguing.

"The Blue Star Sea is too mysterious and closely related to our clan's fate. Therefore, although it was discovered by the Divine Witch Goddess, under those circumstances, it did not remain in her hands but was enshrined in our clan's most important forbidden area."

"Mo Yue Clan's most important forbidden area?"

"Yes, guarded by the High Priestess, the Divine Witch Goddess, and several senior elders."

"This is indeed a wise choice. But could it be that there was an issue with those guarding the altar?"

Lin Xuan sighed; although the Divine Witch Goddess was highly knowledgeable, in such a situation where she had become the target of everyone's arrows, it would not be appropriate to keep the treasure elsewhere. The target was too obvious, and having several experts from the clan guard it together would have been more secure. However, by the sound of it, there seemed to be an issue with this step.

"Young Master said it correctly; originally, the altar had strict defenses with countless experts. As long as our clan's defense wasn't breached directly, enemies would find it difficult to sneak in. But that was just a general situation. We overlooked the Outer Plane Demons."

"Hmm, those fellows' powers are indeed strange. Ordinary protective measures might not work on them," Lin Xuan sighed; he had already had two experiences with the Outer Plane Demons, so his understanding of their abilities was not entirely unfamiliar.

"Yes, these hateful creatures have forms vastly different from other powerful beings across various planes. Some are even just a demonic consciousness that can penetrate everywhere, making it hard to guard against them." Speaking of the Outer Plane Demons, Snow Spirit's expression turned agitated as she clenched her teeth: "As Young Master said, ordinary defenses would be useless for them. Several demon lords潜入,其中更有一个外域魔君级别的存在."

"Really? An outer domain demon lord?"

Lin Xuan was shocked; the Outer Plane Demons were divided into different levels of strength, but Lin Xuan did not know how they were classified. The strongest one had a name: the Outer Domain Demon Lord. He heard that their power was extraordinary and could possess even true immortals if they caught them by chance. Such an existence actually taking action explained why the Mo Yue Clan's treasure was stolen.

Although he already had some idea, Lin Xuan still wanted to hear more details: "Please continue."
