I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Han Zheng's words were indeed a reassurance to Fang Canghai; he would not betray his allies.

"By the way, Master Han, Si Tianli acted against our Xuanyang Martial Sect with the main goal of obtaining the Incense Seal of Divine Descent!"

Fang Canghai said, "At the beginning, Si Tianli asked me to release the array and hand over the Incense Seal of Divine Descent.

I sensed something was wrong and, not knowing Si Tianli's true intentions, I refused tactfully, intending to seek your advice before making any decisions.

But unexpectedly, when Si Tianli saw my refusal, he didn't give me any time to delay; he directly led the Dingnan army to attack our Xuanyang Martial Sect."

Han Zheng frowned slightly, realizing that Si Tianli had been targeting the Incense Seal of Divine Descent from the start.

Si Tianli, or rather his backer Ji Yuanfang, already knew the origin of the Incense Seal of Divine Descent!

It should be noted that Han Zheng only learned the name of this thing from Wei Wenruo's mouth and still doesn't know its origin and real use.

He thought that only Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate knew it in all of Southern Mountain, but who would have thought Si Tianli also knew.

Yet Ji Yuanfang is far away in the Capital City; how did he know about the situation here in Southern Mountain?

While Han Zheng was puzzled, Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun hurriedly arrived.

"Did something happen at the Southern Mountain headquarters?"

Han Zheng's heart sank for a moment.

He had left Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun to guard the Demon Cleansing Bureau Headquarters, but now they hurried here; maybe he's fallen into the scheme of a diversion tactic?

Wen Tingyun shook her head solemnly: "The headquarters is fine, it's Elder Wei from the Capital City who sent me a message, revealing the origin of the Incense Seal of Divine Descent.

The Incense Seal of Divine Descent originated from Ancient Times, when gods and demons dominated the world, and the Human Clan scattered and waned, becoming vassals of gods and demons to survive the danger-filled Ancient Times.

But some of the Human Clan refused to accept subjugation and sought the power of gods and demons, researching various unimaginable secret techniques and magic treasures, among which was the Incense Seal of Divine Descent.

Elder Wei has not seen the Incense Seal of Divine Descent; he found its description in the ancient books from other ruins.

The Incense Seal of Divine Descent, as the name implies, can gather incense fire, bring down divine power, allow a human body to become divine, and steal the authority of gods and demons.

It is said that the Incense Seal of Divine Descent is made of divine bone, already containing a trace of divine power.

Then, gathering countless Human Clan's incense fire willpower into it causes the human body to transform into the material of divine bone, thus initially achieving human transformation into a god."

Han Zheng exclaimed, "If this is true, then the Incense Seal of Divine Descent is absolutely the ultimate treasure of treasures!"

For years, countless supreme powerhouses at the peak have sought the secret of becoming gods, but unfortunately, no one has succeeded.

The human body is just that, a human body, no matter how powerful, cannot transform into the divine bodies of gods and demons.

The Incense Seal of Divine Descent can condense divine bodies from incense fire power, making it the most top-tier treasure in the world.

Also, previously Wen Tingyun confirmed during the autopsy of the Night Sky God Venerable's corpse that the Incense Seal of Divine Descent indeed has this kind of effect.

Beside him, Fang Canghai's eyes were even red.

Considering that this thing is so precious, doesn't he also have a chance to become a god?

Wen Tingyun smiled bitterly: "Becoming a god isn't that easy. If the Incense Seal of Divine Descent truly allowed humans to become gods, the Human Clan wouldn't have experienced the ancient times of slaughter by demons."

Back then, it was an enormous ancient nation of the Human Clan that created the Incense Seal of Divine Descent; the entire nation gathered the incense fire power of countless people to forge a god's body.

But becoming a god isn't just about having a divine body; the power of gods and demons lies not only in the body but even more in the soul, a realm still unknown to us.

So in the end, what was refined from the Incense Seal of Divine Descent was merely a shell body, not a true god.

The human gods' body cannot accommodate divine power, and the divine gods' body won't allow a fragile human soul to remain.

Thus, historical records indicate that although the ancients relied on the Incense Seal of Divine Descent to refine a god's body, their three souls and seven spirits were shattered by it.

But the more terrifying part came later.

That god's body was not a true divine body, but it certainly was a being with divine nature.

Its shell would subconsciously attract some scattered powerful spiritual bodies from this world into it.

Some of these powerful spiritual bodies were remnants from the roars of ancient gods and demons, while others were trace imprints left by some unnameable formidable entities during the pre-chaotic era.

Essentially, all sorts of bizarre things were drawn to the hollow god's body, finally transforming it into a monster that slaughtered nearly half of the ancient country.

In the end, the people of the ancient nation exhausted all means, sacrificed countless lives, and only then destroyed it.

But because their Qi fortune had been entirely absorbed by the Incense Seal of Divine Descent during worship, that ancient nation was completely destroyed by natural and man-made disasters within decades, consistent with my previous speculation.

When the Qi fortune of all citizens is absorbed, the impact is actually on the fortune of the entire area.

Therefore, in Ancient Times, this thing was listed as a forbidden evil technique, marking an absolutely impossible path to becoming a god."

Beside him, Fang Canghai was sweating profusely after hearing this.

He secretly felt fortunate to have turned back from his obsession; otherwise, the day he truly refined himself into a divine body would also be the day of his death.

Wen Tingyun seemed to notice Fang Canghai's change in mindset, and said calmly, "There's no need for Master Fang to worry. The ancient nation that created the Incense Seal of Divine Descent made hundreds of those seals, and gathered the incense fire fortune of several hundred thousand citizens, only then did they refine such a divine body.

You Xuanyang Martial Sect's territory, even if the court doesn't interfere, with your lifespan exhausted, it's impossible to refine a divine body."

Fang Canghai smiled awkwardly.

Han Zheng glared at Wen Tingyun, signaling her to give Fang Canghai some dignity.

After all, this Master Fang has been steadfast, choosing to stand by us even when Si Tianli came knocking.

"Since that's the case, isn't Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate's plan with the Incense Seal of Divine Descent a death wish? And if he knows its name, he should be aware of its origin and uses."

Han Zheng frowned, slightly puzzled.

Wen Tingyun's expression turned somewhat grim, speaking solemnly: "I have a guess that Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate intends to use the Incense Seal of Divine Descent to create a divine body to allow Ci Sheng Mother to descend!"

"What!?"

Everyone present was taken aback.

Actually, the history of the Smell Fragrance Sect is very long, even existing before the founding of Great Zhou.

But at that time, it was not called Smell Fragrance Sect, although they worshiped Ci Sheng Mother.

Later, during the peak of Great Zhou's nation-building, Smell Fragrance Sect nearly vanished for over a thousand years, resurfacing only recently due to Great Zhou's decline.

Furthermore, the organization grew large, repeatedly being demolished only to return again, even when Great Zhou killed the Nine Heavens Guardian Divine Venerable, they rebounded three centuries later.

Though Smell Fragrance Sect is a persistent nuisance, their worshiped Ci Sheng Mother is still not considered a true god.

Her name does not appear among numerous ancient gods and demons, and the most recent records trace only back to the end of Ancient Times, before Great Zhou's founding.

Also, their alleged divine revelations are nothing but deceitful tricks.

Thus, people always regarded Ci Sheng Mother as concocted by Smell Fragrance Sect, an imaginary evil god meant to delude people, a non-existent deity.

Now Wen Tingyun says Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate seeks Ci Sheng Mother's descent, which is quite chilling.

Could it be there truly exists a living god in this world? Moreover, that god is the evil god worshiped by Smell Fragrance Sect.
