CHAPTER 421: CHAPTER 286: LOULAN

Sui Yi gave a faint smile, "This is a blessing in disguise," she suddenly acquired such a formidable secret technique. When considering its value... indeed, it was a treasure that could drive everyone under the heavens crazy, since no wealth could compare to one’s own strength.

For a martial cultivator, there was nothing more wonderful than breaking through limits and shattering constraints.

However, she suddenly realized that she was not the only one who had benefited.

To be precise, there was also a sword.

Demon Que.

The moment her palm touched Demon Que beside her, she felt a strange sensation, as if it had transformed somewhat... She had thought it was already subdued by her, but now it felt unfamiliar.

She vaguely felt it was out of her control.

"Did you awaken too?" Sui Yi gently stroked Demon Que, closed her eyes lightly, and stood up to sheathe it in the ordinary sword sheath at her waist.

Suddenly!

Crack!

The sword sheath split apart.

Sui Yi: "..."

She suddenly felt that Demon Que was rather haughty... it seemed to disdain its previous ordinary sheath.

Perhaps it was disdaining her as its master too.

With a light chuckle, Sui Yi no longer pondered deeply, glanced one more time at the Blood Jade Coffin, and thought pensively for a while.

What should be done with this Blood Jade Coffin?

To leave it be? Perhaps beyond that treasure, it was the ultimate key.

After thinking, Sui Yi’s hand still gently pressed on the edge of the coffin lid.

A moment later, she let go, and looked around... She suddenly noticed a box on the side.

Right, the box that contained the mirror.

She had lost consciousness due to being covered by the light and had forgotten about it.

She picked up the box and inspected it closely; pressing at the bottom with her fingertips, click, she removed the bottom grid, and pulled out a light yellow Golden Silk from the base.

It was well-preserved, resplendent; the silk threads on it were like flowing gold.

It was very beautiful and incredibly smooth to the touch.

Sui Yi unfolded the Golden Silk and looked.

On it... there were many words, like an ancient script.

The script was elegant and handsome, with distinct edges and corners, emulating the vigor of an Azure Dragon.

Interestingly... it truly was ancient Loulan script, and yet Sui Yi could understand it.

Though she had not understood it before...

The fragment’s heritage memory?

Sui Yi pondered lightly, but still softly recited, "When the Time Sacrifice falls, the Nine Purple ascends to the top, from the era of the Emperor starts, the great Emperor’s nature alters drastically and becomes more malevolent, worships the books and commands divinity, the High Priest of the Sinful Country becomes the demon on the Imperial Crown, commands all people to worship, imprisons the High Priest in the Nine Demons Tower..."

Reading up to here, Sui Yi already roughly understood that Loulan’s served master was that High Priest, also the one in the Ye Family Tomb, and clearly, this High Priest’s nature of good or evil was not clear, just criminalized by the Emperor... Later, he probably died.

She continued reading.

"After a millennium, great chaos erupted in the Nine Demons Tower, the Cangwu Mirror shattered, the colored glaze scattered, the High Priest finally perished, bone and blood obliterated and the divine soul shattered, the Blue Dome’s time-space was in utmost chaos, Loulan seized one of Cangwu, exhausted all strategies, traveled through Mang Mountain and Cang Desert, sought a Spirit Vein to construct the Divine Temple Tower, gathered the populace to live, performed a blood sacrifice of their kin to the spirit, praying the reincarnation of the mirror, using the spiritual body of the suited Yin Yang timing to reincarnate the High Priest, to revive the glory of our sacrificial tribe... Because the Emperor cruelly slaughtered everywhere, iron cavalry crushed the extremes, destroyed cities and nurtured corpses to feed gu and raised ghosts, nothing was too extreme for him, the world was turbulent... It should be so, these people under the heavens are heartless and merciless, they deserve to die!"

"If anyone sees this Golden Silk, if not a person of Loulan, then it’s a person of fate... If of Loulan, then should hate me, seek me and kill me, it doesn’t matter. If a person of fate... whether unintentionally or intentionally, take the treasures within the cave, after all, this world... to me is uninteresting..."

"Nine thousand years, too long, too long..."

The reason why text is called the most direct expression of civilization is because it can express a person’s heart more clearly than a painting can.

In fact, these words of Loulan were not too emotional, as he just coldly and objectively narrated the changes of the Dynasty and seemingly innocent recounts in his statements, only subtly adding his own emotions, like hate towards the Emperor and resentment towards the people under the heavens... A single "deserve to die" was enough to show how extreme this person’s emotions had become.

As he continued, his tone seemed more resigned and vague, indifferent, uninterested, too long...

It could display a person’s utter despair and madness.

But after reading it twice, Sui Yi suddenly felt that the greatest madness of this man was... to gather the populace to perform a blood sacrifice of their spirits.

"To gather the populace... does it mean to gather the people, not to multiply his own descendants?"

At this thought, Sui Yi’s heart skipped a beat, matching with the Loulan’s people’s expressed hate towards him...
