Chapter 1454 — The Divine Physician Blunders into the Den of Ecstasy
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
Fang Ziyan watched the battle on the God-Slaying Platform no more. She hurried off and sought out a divine city; this city lay within Consort Qiang's domain, and when the defending general saw that Fang Ziyan was wounded, he was greatly startled, and rushed at once to fetch a famed physician to heal her. Her other wounds were nothing much; it was only her eyes that were the trouble.
Her eyes had been destroyed, and even the divine physician could not cure them. "Lady Fang must wait some days," he said. "I have heard that in Jingping there are famed physicians who have mastered the Dao of Creation, and they may be invited here to treat you, my lady. " Fang Ziyan flew into a rage.
"The people of Jingping are all rebels! " she cried. "To invite them here to heal me, would that not shame Her Highness?
Can it be that in all the Heavenly Court there is not one famed physician who has mastered Creation?
" "There is none. " That divine physician was rather blunt. "Jingping possesses the arts of Creation and the profound art of Creation, arts of Imperial Throne level, and outsiders are not forbidden to learn them. But Jingping's Creation Profound Art is founded upon the Heavenly River Divine Treasury.
Unless a man of the Heavenly Court abolishes his Divine Bridge Divine Treasury and recultivates the Heavenly River in its place, who could ever master it? " Fang Ziyan could not help but grow suspicious, and thought, "I have seen Her Highness perform the Creation Profound Art with my own eyes, and it plainly came from Jingping.
Why, then, are we unable to cultivate Jingping's Creation Profound Art?
" "Your servant has one other method by which you may be healed, Lady Fang," said the divine physician. "Only fetch a pair of another's sacred eyes, and I can dig out the ruined eyes and fit the new ones in. Only, the new eyes will not be the eyes of an Imperial Throne expert; I fear Your Highness would have to refine them anew before you could recover your full prime.
" Fang Ziyan shook her head. "My eyes have been tempered through a thousand refinements and a hundred trials. To refine a fresh pair up to their peak would likely cost decades.
Better that we send for the famed physicians of Jingping.
" The divine physician assented. Fang Ziyan waited in silence for more than ten days, and felt the pulsations that came from the God-Slaying Platform grow ever more violent. Often she sent her primal spirit out of her body to observe the platform, and saw that the clash between the Saber Dao and the two blood-malice divine sabers of the God-Slaying Platform grew fiercer by the day.
As time passed, the Saber Dao's power grew ever stronger, and even here she could clearly sense the might of the saber. "Jingping is a truly strange place.
A mere pellet of land, and yet its daos, arts, and divine powers flourish. This Saber Dao is plainly an acquired Dao, yet it can stand against the blood malice.
" She was deeply puzzled. Even an existence of the Imperial Throne realm, one versed in the innate great Dao, could not possibly hold out so long upon the God-Slaying Platform. Take herself: she was an Imperial Throne powerhouse versed in the innate great Dao, and she reckoned that if she stepped onto that platform she could withstand at most a single strike; the second would see her body perish and her Dao dissolve. Consort Qiang had once let fall a hint to her, saying that the baleful aura gathered on the God-Slaying Platform was so immense that it was already on the verge of transforming into two divine sabers.
When those two sabers came into the world, they would be supreme treasures, the most vicious weapons beneath heaven, their might surpassing the Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner. Once those two divine sabers ripened, it was likely they could slay even a Celestial Venerable. Consort Qiang's aim was to subdue the two divine sabers and use them to rid herself of her powerful foes.
