Chapter 466: Chapter 308 Luo Xiran

The graceful characters in the jade slip came to an abrupt end.

After organizing the information in his mind for a moment, Xu Yuan looked up at the female corpse which still remained intact even after ten thousand years, and his brows gradually furrowed.

The amount of information contained in this jade slip was immense, and much of it remained extremely valuable even to the present.

The great ghostification disaster ten thousand years ago, the reasons for the decline of Jiatiange, lifespan speculation of human powerhouses, the materials and methods for the antidote for ghosts, and so on...

All of this was priceless intelligence.

However, the most useful information for Xu Yuan at the moment was the records about the internal struggle within the Underground Palace contained in this jade slip.

According to the descriptions, there were three key figures in this Underground Palace ten thousand years ago.

Su Luochen, Tang Wan’er, and Luo Xiran.

In terms of their cultivation level and their status on the surface, all three were the absolute center of power in this Underground Palace.

Among them, it was Luo Xiran who took the lead, as she seemed to have the power to halt the "research projects" of the other two.

The two main projects inside the Underground Palace, the development of the Life Reversal Liquid was completely dominated by Luo Xiran, and the Blood Divine Stone for controlling the ghosts was also developed according to the general direction proposed by Luo Xiran.

Furthermore, since Jiatiange led the construction of this Underground Palace, the identity of Luo Xiran as the "chief engineer" of the Underground Palace was basically confirmed.

This power structure with Luo Xiran as the main, and Tang and Su as secondary, continued until the Life Reversal Liquid and the Blood Divine Stone were about to be developed successfully... then the civil war among the human races on the surface broke out.

Although the great ghostification disaster greatly injured the human Origin Qi, leaving almost nothing behind, those who should fight within still had to do so.

It was inevitable for Jiatiange to be besieged.

Every dynastic change follows the principle that it’s better to be a sovereign or minister than to be nothing—all sects were blocked by Jiatiange from ascending through the channels of promotion.

Moreover, the only unpredictable factor that could bring change was targeted—either join or die.

Who would want such a colossal entity as Jiatiange, capable of peeking into the future, pressing down upon their heads?

It was hard enough that the great disaster of ghosts led to its extreme decline; once Jiatiange recovered, everyone would have been suppressed just like before.

And naturally, this internal conflict among the human races extended from the surface into this Underground Palace, which was isolated from the world.

What followed was simple, a deadly escape game in a sealed environment.

Since the Life Reversal Liquid and the Blood Divine Stone, which were in the trial phase, both required Luo Xiran for completion, she wasn’t immediately taken out by a surprise attack, but instead was cut off from the outside world.

By the time Luo Xiran truly realized her situation and the real purpose of the other side, it was already a dead end.

With the outbreak of the war on the surface, Tang Wan’er and Su Luochen must have started preparing at that moment.

The moment when the two projects were successfully developed would be the time of death for her, Luo Xiran.

As for dragging it out?

Tang Wan’er and Su Luochen were also masters of this game. As time passed, as soon as they detected something amiss, even if the projects were not completely finished, they would definitely take action directly.

This was a dead game.

However, if a dead game can’t be solved, then simply flip over the chessboard.

"Life Reversal Liquid", "Blood Divine Stone", everyone die together, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and no one gets anything.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan’s expression became slightly strange.

With hindsight, the sects acted slightly prematurely against Jiatiange.

They should have waited until the "Life Reversal Liquid" and the "Blood Divine Stone" of this side were completely finished, killed Luo Xiran, seized the results, and then made a move.

He was all too aware of how greatly ghostification could enhance a cultivator’s battle prowess. Even the formidable Pavilion Master of Jiatiange from ten thousand years ago could not have been a match for a group of half-ghost Saints.

After all, ghosts do not fear death.

But then Xu Yuan felt he was being a bit too presumptuous.

What he could think of, those old foxes from ten thousand years ago could also think of; Jiatiange must have discovered something that forced them to move ahead of schedule.

In this light, the logic of the information in the jade slip was consistent,

But the problem was, the Underground Palace ten thousand years later did not match the records in the jade slip.

Many things did not align.

The ghost-queen in the Blood Nest was very likely to be the target of Luo Xiran’s soul takeover, mentioned in the jade slip, and it seemed like her takeover was probably successful.

But if it was successful,

Why has this ghost-queen not thought of entering the bottom of this Blood Pool all these years?

One of the most important bases for cooperation between the ghost-queen and Xu Yuan was that he could lead her out.

Ghostification only changes thinking logic, not memory.

Even if the transformation into a full ghost afterwards made her unwilling to think about restoring her human form with the "Life Reversal Liquid", she could still escape the Underground Palace through the secret path in the chamber below.

Additionally,

Why were the two Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendants, which could manipulate ghosts and the Underground Palace Formation originally in Luo Xiran’s hands, separated?

Why is Luo Xiran’s Saint body, which should not decay for a thousand years, still intact after ten thousand years?

Many questions arose in Xu Yuan’s mind, and subconsciously, he glanced again at the flawless female corpse lying across the room, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

The information he saw was all recorded from the perspective of Luo Xiran back then.

The plan was Luo Xiran’s alone, and changes always come faster than plans.

The rest were all not the charitable kind, Tang Wan’er, Su Luochen, and even the Origin ghost that cooperated with Luo Xiran, all must have their own contingencies.
