“What… did you pick up?”

As soon as Mo Xueling’s voice faded, her complexion abruptly changed and she hurriedly hid behind Yang Zhen.

The water waves surged wildly. Yang Zhen gripped the hilt of the Great Missing Sword with both hands, forcefully plunging it into the ground.

Boom—!

Huge waves rushed in, crashing into the Great Missing Sword, even Yang Zhen’s body was sent flying. He quickly pulled Hua Youyue in front of him.

Mo Xueling let out a cry of surprise, clinging tightly to Yang Zhen’s arm, resisting the waves with Hua Youyue.

The scoundrel cat and cheeky chicken both dove directly into Yang Zhen’s arms, holding onto his clothes tightly.

Only when the small pocket universe was filled with water did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and hurried toward the exit.

The Sinful Sea marsh seemed to be turned upside down. All the practitioners around the marsh rushed toward this direction, their faces changing rapidly in shock.

“It’s a marsh. Something must have happened here.”

“Could it be the emergence of a hidden treasure?” someone exclaimed.

“Very likely. Quick, this kind of opportunity doesn’t come often. I’ve heard that the legacies within the Forbidden Land of Life are from ancient times. Even one such legacy can cause upheaval.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Countless practitioners rushed toward them, their shocked expressions filled with ecstasy.

The Sinful Sea marsh, as if some prohibition was triggered, was engulfed in blood waves. Huge sprays of water soared into the sky, interspersed with countless roars and wails.

All the practitioners were startled, especially those who rushed too fast without paying attention to their surroundings, their faces changing wildly as they plunged into the huge waves.

“Damn, what is this?”

Countless sea monkeys darted out from the waves, the blood tide was turbulent, and those unprepared practitioners were all caught off guard and attacked mercilessly.

“They’re dangerous creatures. There are so many of them, run!”

“Damn it, what’s wrong with these dangerous creatures, why are they so wild!”

Rumble—!

The terrifying huge wave obscured the sky. Under its rage, a turbulent energy erupted, turning the entire Sinful Sea marsh into a living hell.

Yang Zhen took Hua Youyue and the others out covertly, looking back at the surging Sinful Sea marsh and clucking in admiration.

“These people are truly blinded by greed, rushing forward without understanding the situation.” Mo Xueling lightly furrowed her willow brows, watching a group of people who were still fighting the sea monkeys.

Yang Zhen sneered without even giving them a glance. “People die for money, and birds die for food. Besides, they haven’t done anything wrong. Isn’t there a legacy of the Sinful Clan inside?”

“People die for money, and birds die for food!” Mo Xueling muttered. “You sure have a way with words. Speaking of which, what exactly did you pick up in that pocket universe that made those sea monkeys retreat at once?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback and said with a puzzled expression, “I’m really not sure. It was like a plaque, with the word ‘nine’ carved on it.”

“A plaque?” Mo Xueling was stunned, asking, “What kind of plaque?”

Yang Zhen described the appearance of the plaque, causing Mo Xueling and the others to look puzzled.

Within Yang Zhen’s Divine Consciousness Space, an antique-looking inscrutable plaque was slowly floating in the air. It was only the size of a palm, with no identifiable material, like wood yet somehow metallic in texture. It was dull grey, with the word ‘nine’ engraved on it and slowly turning.

Yang Zhen initially wanted to bring it out for Hua Youyue and the others to look at, but he realized that he was now unable to control the plaque, and couldn’t even feel its presence.

It was like a piece of wood that had lain untouched for thousands of years. Grey and dull, it occupied a space within his Divine Consciousness Space and settled there silently.

Yang Zhen felt powerless. He could not extract it. All he could do was to sketch out a twisted and crooked image of it with Yang Zhen’s superb artistic skills.

Mo Xueling looked at the image Yang Zhen drew with a puzzled look on her face, she shook her head and said, “I have never seen any badge like this, and it doesn’t seem to have any special characteristics, so why do those sea monkeys run away at just a shout?”

Yang Zhen too was completely baffled. After heeding the kitten’s advice, he yelled instinctively. The chaos that unfolded amongst the sea monkeys of the Sinful Sea Marshland must have been related to the aura he emanated.

This was the badge which the Medicine Madman had desperately wanted to comprehend. It appeared to be a Forbidden Skill of some sort.

A bizarre Divine Power that was known to the world as Forbidden Skill.

Since even the Medicine Madman couldn’t comprehend it, Yang Zhen didn’t dare to investigate it rashly. Instead, he simply put away the badge, planning to understand it when his cultivation was stronger.

Yang Zhen didn’t think he couldn’t comprehend it, but wondered what good would it do after comprehending it. Perhaps by using it at his current cultivation level, rather than benefiting, it might bring harm.

The Forbidden Skill was a Divine Power that even the Emperor paid great attention to, and was a method that everyone could employ, even more peculiar than the Emperor Skill.

Although everyone could use the Forbidden Skill, it was better for people with low cultivation levels not to use it casually, because there was a cost involved.

If someone with low cultivation used a Forbidden Skill, the power unleashed might not even be as strong as their own Martial Skill, yet they had to pay an unbearable price, it was truly asking for trouble.

After Yang Zhen drew the nine-character badge, the kitten and the rooster trembled and showed an uncertain expression.

Hua Youyue hesitated, staring at the nine-character badge. After a long time, her face suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, “Ascension Order!”

“Ascension Order!” The kitten and the rooster trembled again, their faces changing as they echoed in unison.

“Ascension Order?” Mo Xueling, a well-read and knowledgeable person, showed a puzzled look on her face. She looked at Yang Zhen and asked in confusion, “What is Ascension Order?”

Yang Zhen also nodded repeatedly, staring at Hua Youyue with a weird look in his eyes, filled with seriousness and curiosity.

“Miss, who exactly are you? Even Mo Xueling hasn’t heard of this, yet you know it?”

Hua Youyue hesitated and shook her head, her face showing a trace of pain.

“I…I don’t know. It’s just that the name Ascension Order suddenly came to mind, and I blurted it out subconsciously.”

The kitten gave Yang Zhen a strange look and murmured to himself, “Damn, of course Mo can’t know about it, it is the Ascension Order, you’ve got the Ascension Order!”

Yang Zhen stared at the kitten and asked, “You remember?”

The kitten nodded, “Such an awesome thing, even if this revered one turns into an idiot, I won’t forget it!”

“Idiot!” The rooster scornfully said on one side.

“Shut up, you language impaired rooster!” The kitten glared, and then said to Yang Zhen, “Ten lost to one, nine steps to the Ascension Order, it was a powerful treasure right from ancient times, said to be born of heaven and earth!”

“A heavenly artifact!” Mo Xueling exclaimed, her eyes filled with shock, her face disbelieving.

“Each of the nine steps has the power to destroy heaven and earth. If someone could assemble all nine…damn, it’s impossible. Since the Ascension Order appeared, no one has ever had more than one.”

“So, has anyone ever had two at the same time?” Yang Zhen asked curiously, “Who is that person?”

The kitten scratched his head, “I forgot!”

Yang Zhen was furious and gave him a kick. The rooster at the side snickered and said, “It was Tian Xuan!”

“Damn, I remember now! It was Saintess Tianxuan. It was her!” The kitten’s eyes suddenly widened in shock..
