Summary of Sacred Thought Divine Artifact

1. Key Plot Points & Events

Meeting with the Deep-Dark Squid Great Sage

• Fang Yun, a Mountain Bearer, arrives at the Ancient Demon main camp to retrieve the Purple Heaven Pillar under three pretexts:
  1. A secret order from Tree Venerable (Ancient Demon Great Sage).
  2. A decree from Pan Kong Ancestral Emperor’s descendant (Shanzhong Sheng’s blood talisman).
  3. A request from the Mountain Bearer Clan for weapons and medicinal herbs.
• The Deep-Dark Squid, despite its grudge against the Mountain Bearers, cannot refuse due to its obligations to Tree Venerable and Pan Kong’s legacy.
• It demands Fang Yun kill ten Fifth Realm Water Race members as proof of merit before allowing free movement.

Fang Yun’s Demonstration & Deception

• Fang Yun slaughters ten Fifth Realm Water Race members in seconds using the True Dragon Ancient Sword, proving his strength.
• He then drinks a cup of ancient wine (stored for tens of thousands of years) that makes him collapse, allowing the Deep-Dark Squid to believe he is exhausted.
• Upon waking, he steals 70% of the Sacred Thought Weapons and over half of the supplies (medicinal herbs, food, timber) from the Ancient Demon camp.

Abandoning the Purple Heaven Pillar

• Fang Yun learns that retrieving the Purple Heaven Pillar would require sacrificing a Mountain Bearer Great Sage’s Spirit Bones, so he prioritizes investigating the Dragon Race instead.

Infiltrating the Dragon Race Camp

• Fang Yun disguises himself and uses the Two-Dragon Seal to gain the Dragon Race’s trust.
• Under the guise of the Grand Censorate’s authority, he loots the Dragon Race’s main camp, stripping it of:
  • Aquatic plants (medicinally superior due to Dragon aura and saintly lingering consciousness).
  • War resources (weapons, supplies).
  • Dragon Might War Gear (a legendary, rare artifact).

• Gains confidence in his ability to navigate high-stakes negotiations and battles.

Deep-Dark Squid Great Sage

• Remains bitter and grudge-holding toward the Mountain Bearers, despite its weakened state.
• Shows tactical caution—it cannot openly defy Tree Venerable or Pan Kong’s legacy, forcing it to comply with Fang Yun’s demands.
• Underestimates Fang Yun’s true intentions, believing his collapse was from exhaustion rather than a calculated move.

Ancient Demon Officials

• Some are indifferent or hostile, seeing Fang Yun as a weak Fourth Realm being.

• Historical Revelation: The Flood Dragon Woman reveals that Two-Headed Dragon Sage (a Dragon Race Great Sage) once attempted to remove the Divine Blood with a mysterious figure (likely an Ancient Demon or Saint-level being). The process required:
  • Consent from the Dragon Race commander-in-chief (Ao Gu, a Southern Sea Dragon Sage) and the Ancient Demon commander-in-chief.
  • Satisfaction of the lingering thoughts of two Saint Ancestors (Dragon Emperor and Ancestral Emperor Pan Kong).

• Negotiation & Conditions: Fang Yun offers to use a powerful item (likely his own Dragon Race/Ancient Demon hybrid identity) to satisfy the Saint Ancestors’ wills (the Dragon Race and Ancient Demons’ remnant demands).

Tian Songshi’s Explanation

• The Blood Tomb Mausoleum is where Great Scholars undergo a transformation—some become Literary Ancestors, others receive divine guidance, and the luckiest (like Zhi Shi) experience a world-shaking event (valley shaking, statues resonating, celestial phenomena).
• The Demon Emperor, despite severe injuries, is still a major threat to the Human Race. Fang Yun’s past actions (killing two of his lives, stopping him from obtaining a world-shattering treasure) have weakened him.

Fang Yun’s Mission

• He seeks to awaken the Spirit Bones of Human Race Saints (unlike the Ancient Demons, this could provoke aristocratic families).

• He retrieves a crystal dragon (Ascending Dragon) from the Dragon Race’s Sacred Mausoleum, hinting at his next step in cultivation.
