A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Chen Yang never expected that the Sacred Fire Altar would be a fragment of a celestial artifact, and a corrupted one at that!

No wonder when my hand touched the altar just now, a black hole appeared on the altar, like a giant beast that wanted to devour me completely!

Looking back now, Ma Wei must have sacrificed his blood to the Sacred Fire Altar, which was a form of recognition of its master. The Sacred Fire Altar became his support, enabling him to increase his energy. Now that Ma Wei is dead, the Sacred Fire Altar is ownerless, which is why I was able to easily subdue it.

Just then, Chen Yang frowned slightly and opened the system panel in his mind.

A notification popped up on the panel: [Ding! Contaminated immortal energy fragments detected. Do you wish to spend 20 spirit stones to purify the contamination?]

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised when he saw the prompt, but he chose "yes" without hesitation. Although he was short of money at the moment, he could still come up with 20 spirit stones!

[Ding! Purification of the Immortal Artifact Fragment has been completed, costing 20 spirit stones!]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Chen Yang waved his hand and took the Sacred Fire Altar out of his storage ring.

This time, the sacred fire altar was still burning with raging black flames, and the entire altar exuded an incomparably powerful spiritual pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down!

Chen Yang held it in his hand as if touching an ancient, primordial behemoth that had existed for tens of thousands of years. Even though it was only a 1% fragment, the terrifying pressure emanating from the immortal artifact made his spirit tremble.

"Is this the power of a celestial artifact?" Chen Yang was shocked. "What is the origin of this celestial artifact? If even a mere 1% fragment is this terrifying, how heaven-defying must the complete celestial artifact be?"

He waved the fragment of the immortal artifact in his hand, only to find that it had no other special functions besides emitting pressure. After all, it was only a 1% fragment, which could neither be used to drive away enemies nor truly be kept for his own use. At most, it was a cool collectible.

However, compared to before purification, the fragments are now much safer. He didn't dare to touch them closely before, but now that they're purified, only pure pressure remains on the fragments, and they will no longer create that terrifying black hole that could devour divine consciousness.

Chen Yang put the fragments of the immortal artifact back into his storage ring and turned to walk out of the cave.

Just then, his brows furrowed suddenly, and his expression instantly turned solemn—an extremely terrifying aura was rushing towards the Weapon Refining Peak with overwhelming force! The aura was too powerful, carrying the pressure of the rules of heaven and earth. Chen Yang recognized it at a glance as the unique aura of a Golden Core cultivator!

"Not good!" Chen Yang was startled, his mind racing. "The entire Tianhai Sect has three Golden Core cultivators: Su Nuanyun, Ma Jinshuo from the Ma family, and the Supreme Elder Wu Jiang, who has been in seclusion for two hundred years. Su Nuanyun is already out, and Wu Jiang is definitely still in seclusion, so the person who came must be Ma Jinshuo!"

Ma Jinshuo is likely Ma Wei's closest relative. Now that Ma Wei has been killed, he must have sensed the news of his junior's death and come to seek revenge!

Chen Yang dared not be careless in the slightest. He took off running, simultaneously donning his Divine Concealing Cloak to instantly hide his aura. With a flash, he directly crossed the protective array of the Weapon Refining Peak and silently sped towards Su Nuanyun's mountain peak.

Almost the instant he left the Refining Peak, a golden phantom suddenly appeared in the sky, like a god descending to earth, and then slammed down on the Refining Peak!

"boom--!"

The protective array on the Refining Peak was easily destroyed and collapsed instantly. The golden phantom dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man in his forties with a goatee and wearing a blue robe—it was none other than Ma Jinshuo, a Golden Core cultivator from the Ma family!

Ma Jinshuo's face was ashen, like the bottom of a pot, his spiritual energy surging, filled with a world-destroying rage. He gently pressed down with both hands, and an invisible pressure from a Golden Core cultivator swept across the entire Refining Peak. All the cultivators on the peak were instantly forced to their knees, trembling, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Where is my son Ma Wei?!" Ma Jinshuo's voice was like thunder, shaking the mountains.

He flashed and instantly appeared outside the cave halfway up the Refining Peak. His nostrils twitched slightly as he sensed the lingering aura of his son Ma Wei's agony before his death. Ma Jinshuo's face turned ashen. He rushed into the cave, but found only bloodstains on the ground; there was no body to be found.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the Fire Source Cave. The scorching flames had already engulfed everything. Ma Jinshuo's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifying chill suddenly erupted!

"boom!"

The massive fire pit, spanning over 800 square meters, was extinguished instantly, leaving only charred ruins and some bone fragments; no useful clues could be found.

"ah--!"

Ma Jinshuo roared to the sky, his voice filled with endless pain and anger!

Everyone knows that Ma Wei is the genius disciple of the Ma family, but few people know that Ma Wei is Ma Jinshuo's biological son, and the next Golden Core Realm successor whom he has devoted countless resources to cultivating!

But now, his own son's soul has vanished, leaving no trace of his body! How could he, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, not even be able to protect his own son within the territory of Tianhai Sect?

On the Refining Peak, all the disciples knelt on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to even breathe loudly—there was a world of difference between Golden Core cultivators and Divine Power cultivators! Golden Core cultivators condense their Golden Cores, drawing upon the source of heaven and earth, and every move they make carries the pressure of heaven and earth, which is something that these lower-level cultivators simply cannot contend with.

Ma Jinshuo's figure shot into the sky with a roar, his divine sense covering the entire Refining Peak like a net, thoroughly investigating everyone on the peak. But he couldn't find the culprit at all—these people were just ants, and even if they joined forces, they could never possibly kill his son, who was at the peak of the Divine Power Realm!

"It's Su Nuanyun! It must be her!" Ma Jinshuo reacted instantly, his face growing even more ferocious. "From beginning to end, Su Nuanyun never left Tianhai Gate! She set a trap, waiting for my son to walk right into it!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the pain in his heart almost consuming him: the mission to assassinate Liu Qingxia was issued by him in conjunction with other Golden Core cultivators! His original intention was to use the power of the Six Doors to completely eliminate the rapidly growing Liu Qingxia! Because he knew very well that Liu Qingxia's potential was too terrifying. Su Nuanyun was already at the height of her power, having entered the Golden Core realm in just a few decades. If Liu Qingxia were to break through to the Golden Core realm as well, becoming Su Nuanyun's right-hand man, the entire Tianhai Sect would belong to the Su family, and the Ma family would have no place to stand!

But he never expected that Su Nuanyun would be so ruthless as to actually dare to kill his son!

"Su Nuanyun! You get the hell out here!" Ma Jinshuo roared, his voice shaking the heavens and filled with boundless killing intent. "I know you're still at Tianhai Sect! If you don't come out, I'll kill your disciples and make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
