"Um? What is this?" Just as he was about to put these items away, he discovered something the size of a thumb in the storage bag. He took it out and held it in his hand for a closer look. It appeared to be an artifact, evident from the traces of refinement on it. If he hadn't studied the art of crafting at Qilin Cave, he might not have recognized it, which showed the skill involved in its creation. It resembled a droplet of water, entirely black, with a small hole at one end, seemingly designed for easy carrying. But who would bother crafting such an ornament? Unless one was utterly bored, no one would willingly engage in such a task. His intuition told him that this object was not simple.
Mo Wen began to study the artifact, but no matter how he examined it, he found himself at a loss. He bit his fingertip and dripped blood onto it for refinement, but there was no reaction. He circulated his Kung Fu to force out his essence blood, yet still no response. After taking a break, he attempted to refine it using Law, but again there was no reaction. Looking at the artifact in his hand, Mo Wen fell into deep thought. He had tried all the common methods of refining artifacts except for those involving Shen Hun, which he could not use at the moment. Staring at the Ink Black Artifact, Mo Wen was filled with questions; after all his efforts, there was still no result. He could only temporarily give up on trying, put the artifact away, and continue sorting through the items on the ground.
While Mo Wen was busy counting his gains in the cave, outside it was already bustling with activity. Various factions and officials around Cloud Mist Forest had organized exploration teams to enter the forest. After all, such significant changes had occurred in Cloud Mist Swamp; some even claimed that a Divine Beast had appeared, making it impossible for these people to remain idle.
...
In a tavern, Lu Xun sat across from his junior brother. "Junior brother, news has come from Cang Yun that there has been a disturbance in Cloud Mist Swamp. The commotion is enormous; reportedly, mountains and marshes within a hundred Bird Journey radius have been swallowed by lava, forming a Lava Lake."
"Oh! Such a turn of events—could there be some Treasure emerging? That shouldn't be the case."
"Before this disturbance occurred, someone sensed the presence of a Divine Beast. You've spent years in Cloud Mist Forest; did you not notice any signs?"
"No. You know well that it's just a dangerous place; I'm not interested in what lies within. Even if there is something valuable, let those younger ones fight over it."
"That kid has not shown any signs of life until now; are you not worried?"
"I think it's you who are worried about him. I pulled that kid out of Yan Luo River; just think about it—someone whom even Yama wouldn't take can’t possibly be in any trouble." Lu Xun looked at his senior brother with an amused expression. Ever since seeing those two Jade Tablets last time, his senior brother had been insisting on taking Mo Wen as a disciple.
"In my opinion, senior brother, you should stop thinking about that kid; he's someone valued by others."
"You mean..."
"I said nothing; don't jump to conclusions, senior brother."
"I see."
...
In an underground palace, Gong Shangnan knelt before a mirror where a figure wearing a Crimson Mask appeared.
"The disturbance in Cloud Mist Swamp—what have you found out?"
"Reporting to you, my lord, the exploration team is nearing Cloud Mist Swamp but has yet to make any valuable discoveries."
"There was previously a presence of Divine Beasts; it could be a cub. If we can capture it and present it to the sect, your entry into the Inner Gate will be much easier."
"Thank you, my lord! If a Divine Beast truly appears, I will find a way to obtain it and present it to the sect."
"Also, do we have any news on the remnants of the Mo Family?"
"Reporting to you, my lord, I have been searching for years and have compared all youths within the territory who resemble him in age and appearance but have found nothing. Forgive my boldness; that kid may already be dead—a child without any cultivation falling into Yan Luo River would likely have been taken by Yama."
