Monarch Night

With these words, Bei Mingxin felt slightly relieved.

But still dared not speak too plainly.

He said: "Back when the Celestial Worm God’s Divine Thought first took form, it once bestowed upon our Wei Wo Zheng Sect nine pieces of Divine Formless Jade..."

Feng Yun was puzzled: "Wasn’t it seven pieces?"

"Nine pieces! Not seven!"

Sun Wutian said casually: "Moreover, what bestowed... it was just that they couldn’t be retrieved."

Bei Mingxin dared not speak further.

Feng Yun, instead, grew interested, saying: "Mr. Sun, what do you mean by that?"

"Regarding this, I once specifically looked into it, after all, I used to have one piece myself."

Sun Wutian took a sip of wine, saying: "At that time, the Celestial Worm God’s avatar descended upon this world, with its Divine Thought transforming into a fleshly body, becoming a giant centipede demon... The result was that later, the world’s experts, organized by Jun Lin, performed a mass demon-slaying, culminating in the Celestial Worm God’s avatar being blown apart, something you all know, right?"

This matter is known.

Even if unknown before, once Jun Lin’s story spread, everyone found out.

Not to mention Feng Yun and the others, even the ordinary Jianghu People are aware.

"The avatar was blown apart, and so were its Divine Thought and Centipede Demon body which originally had a hundred and eight centipede pearls."

Sun Wutian said: "But after that battle, Jun Lin completely blew apart ninety-nine of them!"

"Each of these centipede pearls had the power of resurrection. In other words, if Jun Lin only destroyed the Celestial Worm God’s fleshly body without destroying these pearls, the avatar would reform within a few years. But back then, Jun Lin was indeed fierce, directly blowing up ninety-nine of them!"

"Even the most critical brain bead was shattered."

"Therefore, the avatar could not be restored... These remaining pearls, though their resurrection power persisted, couldn’t be reclaimed and were merely buried beneath the battlefield."

"Over time, they were assimilated by this world’s origin, merged with the Origin Spirit Crystal Mine, and turned into resembling spirit crystals, yet existing as the mine’s core."

"As years passed, the Divinity thinned, while the power of resurrection increased, the life aura infused in. But the life aura infused did not belong to the Celestial Worm God... In other words, the Celestial Worm God could no longer control these pearls, and taking them back served no purpose."

"They could only retain the resurrection effect on this continent."

"Later, when the Wei Wo Zheng Sect was established and the Celestial Worm God’s Divine Thought finally connected across the land, it swept the continent, gathering these nine pearls, or rather nine pieces of jade. Realizing they couldn’t be taken back, they were simply given to the Wei Wo Zheng Sect as the treasure of the sect!"

"Back then, the Sect Leader was proud, invincible in Divine Skill, without need of resurrection; lamenting the brothers who died achieving great deeds during the war, he gave the nine Jade Pendants to his nine brothers."

"These are now the Nine Vice Grand Masters."

"At that time, the Celestial Worm God’s Divine Thought was much denser than now. Not like the intermittent way it is now..."

Sun Wutian said: "The Vice Sect Masters handle the sect’s affairs, rarely venturing out for battle; these pieces of Divine Formless Jade were left in the then Divine Altar to nourish. When high-level sect members who went out on major combat missions took one along, it prevented them from getting slaughtered. Having them provided a chance for resurrection."

"Later, the Celestial Worm God weakened for some reason; since then, the Divine Altar has merged with the Law Enforcement Hall... Understand now?"

Bei Mingxin suddenly understood: "So that’s how it is."

"Later, those who often stirred up disturbances and committed heavy killings became the Guardians and the prime focus of the Ten Direction Inspection at the time."

"So these pieces of Divine Formless Jade gradually became the personal wear for people like us."
