Sculpture

Yi Yun guessed that this village might be the place where that senior and his disciples and relatives lived in seclusion. They grew herbs and lived in this small world, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, like a small pure land.

But the world changes, and things transform.

Walking through the village, Yi Yun felt as if he had truly entered an ordinary people's village, where farming tools, pots, pans, and bowls could be seen everywhere.

However, the medicinal herbs that Yi Yun had been hoping for did not appear.

Before entering the herb garden, Yi Yun could already smell the fragrance of herbs. There must be medicinal herbs in this garden, but finding them would not be so easy. Otherwise, Wang Mu and Wang Mu wife would have taken the herbs long ago.

Yi Yun circled the village and arrived at a small ravine behind it. As Yi Yun stepped into the inconspicuous ravine, his expression changed. The ravine was engraved with Dao patterns, and he could feel the fluctuations of the laws as he walked through it.

He guessed that this medicine garden must be protected by a grand formation, but Yi Yun was surprised that the formation could still be maintained after such a long period of time.

Walking along the ravine, Yi Yun unexpectedly came across a row of sculptures.

These sculptures are the same height as a normal person. They have been here for a long time, and their surfaces are covered with the marks of time. They look unremarkable, just like ordinary stone carvings casually placed on the hillside behind a village.

There were eight sculptures in total. Yi Yun glanced at them casually, but what he saw made him freeze in shock.

He stood there in front of the eight sculptures for a long, long time, his expression slowly changing from astonishment and disbelief to reverence and awe!

These eight seemingly ordinary sculptures all contain a distant and ancient atmosphere, and at the foot of each sculpture is the name of the person carved.

Without exception, they were all God-Kings!!

Eight sculptures, eight god-kings?

Yi Yun took a deep breath. God-Kings were extremely rare in Guixu. He had just seen eight of them. God-Kings that could be carved here must all be Ancient God King.

Yi Yun looked at them one by one.

The Annihilation God King, the Lord of the Six Paths, the Master of the Heavenly Abyss, the Pure Yang Sword God...

Um!?

Etc!

When Yi Yun saw the Pure Yang Sword God, his mind was shaken. He looked at the sculpture, which was also covered with the marks of time and weather, and even the face of the sculpture was somewhat blurred. However, it contained an indescribable Mysterious Charm, as if a sword was slashing out from the sculpture. The sword's momentum was extremely calm, but it could split the sun and moon and shatter the stars! It was as if before this sword, everything else was as insignificant as dust and smoke.

Yi Yun felt deeply that the energy contained in the sculpture resonated with his own, creating a profound connection.

Sword Palace Master!

Yi Yun was certain that the sculpture depicted the Sword Palace Master.

Unexpectedly, the statue of the Sword Palace Master is placed here. Does this mean that the other seven people are also figures of equal renown to the Sword Palace Master?

Yi Yun continued reading and saw another god-king, who surprised Yi Yun even more.

The sculpture depicts a woman with a slender figure and unparalleled beauty; her name is none other Illusion Snow God King!

"The Illusion Snow God King, could it be...?"

Yi Yun examined the woman's face closely; the sculpted features overlapped with a beautiful image in Yi Yun's mind...

Huan Chenxue!

This sculpture depicts Huan Chenxue!?

Yi Yun couldn't believe it; Huan Chenxue was a God-King?

She recalled the approachable woman in blue she had met in the Illusory Sea Realm, who had given her her most precious sword, the Illusionary Illusion Snow Sword. Yi Yun and Huan Chenxue had spent several years together in the Illusory Sea Realm, and those days were peaceful and pleasant.

Huan Chenxue was just an ordinary woman; Yi Yun never realized that she was actually a god-king!

There was also the Nine Li Witch Maiden from the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, who looked exactly like Huan Chenxue. Yi Yun didn't know about their relationship, and he didn't reveal Huan Chenxue's existence without permission, so he didn't mention it to the Nine Li Witch Maiden.

Seeing the sculpture of the Illusion Snow God King now, Yi Yun was shocked.

The Nine Li Witch Maiden is a mortal, and so is Huan Chenxue. What is their relationship with the Illusion Snow God King? Could it be that during the ancient war, the Illusion Snow God King participated and was severely injured, losing all her power and even being unable to cultivate, and was then reincarnated as Huan Chenxue and the Nine Li Witch Maiden...?

And what about the Nine Li Witch Tribe... this mysterious race with an incredibly long history and profound heritage, could their true identity actually be the guardians of the Illusion Snow God King?

Realizing this, Yi Yun felt a mix of emotions. He hadn't yet completed the Medicine King's Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, leaving only Ling Xie'er and the Medicine God Cauldron to guard it. What would it be like if he truly completed the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation one day? Could it be that he could heal a God King?

Yi Yun gazed intently at the sculpture of the Illusion Snow God King. Although her face was exactly the same as Huan Chenxue's, she seemed to have an extra touch of heroism between her brows, which made Yi Yun yearn for what it must have been like when the Illusion Snow God King roamed the world in ancient times.

Following the Illusion Snow God King, there is now another female God-King.

And Yi Yun knew that this God-King was none other than the White Moon God-King— Bai Yueyin!

The terrifying being who unified the Seven Desolations and established the Baiyue Divine Kingdom is known to everyone in Guixu. He has lived from ancient times to the present. Yi Yun heard Huan Chenxue say that Bai Yueyin was also seriously injured in the ancient war, so much so that she is now often in long periods of seclusion and slumber.

Even so, Bai Yueyin's strength was beyond people's imagination. Bai Yueyin disappeared from the very beginning of the Baiyue Divine Kingdom, yet after such a long period of time, no foolish force dared to provoke the Baiyue Divine Kingdom.

"Eight Ancient God King, eight sculptures... Could it be that this medicine garden is connected to the Ancient God King? Or perhaps, this Ancient Medicine Garden was simply left behind by one of the god-kings by chance?"

Yi Yun speculated that he had heard Yi Yun Huan Chenxue talk about the legend of the eight Ancient God Kings. They were all people who fought against the ancestral god in ancient times. In that battle, the eight god-kings were either killed, injured, or disappeared.

Yi Yun had no idea that Huan Chenxue herself was actually one of the eight Ancient God Kings.

If this herb garden is connected to Ancient God King, then it's not something Wang Mu could possibly obtain. Wang Mu's discovery of this herb garden was not a stroke of luck, but a catastrophe.

Yi Yun walked out of the mountain valley and followed the Dao patterns there. Soon, he arrived at a valley.

In this valley, hundreds of flowers bloom, birds sing, and the air is filled with fragrance, making it seem like a paradise on earth.

However, Yi Yun sensed an extremely dangerous aura here.

His gaze swept across the valley and he saw rows of red stone tablets standing there, as if they were stained with blood. There were twelve stone tablets in total, and in the very center of these twelve stone tablets, there was a patch of flowers. Among the flowers, Yi Yun discovered a special little grass.

The little grass had seven leaves, each covered with dark golden veins that emitted a faint glow.

"This is..." As soon as Yi Yun saw the little grass, he sensed a surging life force, and it exuded a rich medicinal fragrance. It seemed that the medicinal fragrance he smelled outside the herb garden was coming from this little grass.

Yi Yun was certain that this was a top-grade medicinal herb, but he had never seen this variety before.

Yi Yun had thoroughly read the Medicine God's Classics, and the rarity of herbs he had never even seen before was simply unimaginable.

Yi Yun is now certain that if the Li Family knew there was such a medicinal herb here, they would probably go to great lengths to get in, and even the Wu Ling Clan would do the same.

The mysterious herb was right in front of Yi Yun, but he didn't rush to pick it.

The dangerous aura he sensed lingered throughout the valley.
