Wu Shattered Star River

Tianluan Island is located in the very center of the Starsea Battlefield. There are 4,800 islands nearby, equally divided among the four races, with each race controlling 1,200 islands.

Tianluan Island is the headquarters of the Human camp. Several hundred miles north of Tianluan Island lies a sea area called the Devil's Sea, a well-known forbidden zone in the Starsea Battlefield.

West of the Devil's Sea is a large island called Tianman Island, the headquarters of the Barbarian race.

To the north of the Devil's Sea is another large island called Tianmo Island, which serves as the headquarters of the Demon race.

East of the Devil's Sea is a large island called Tianyao Island, the headquarters of the Monster race.

These four large islands are distributed around the Devil's Sea, and behind them are densely packed thousands of islands of varying sizes.

Those islands are the battlefields for island-grabbing and island-defending wars.

Jiang Lang spent a full half-day wandering around Tianluan City and only returned after nightfall.

Jiang Han wanted to go and see the Goddess Painting several times that afternoon, but he finally restrained himself, deciding to wait until Jiang Lang had gathered information before making a move.

After returning, Jiang Lang sneaked into Jiang Han's room and tossed him a spatial ring, saying, "Here are four sets of array stones, enough for you to build two Lightning Attraction Arrays and two Lightning Dissipation Arrays."

"Prices in Tianluan City are ridiculously high. The Profound Materials you received from the Divine-Demonic Battlefield have all been sold by me. We're even now, okay?"

"Get lost!"

Jiang Han glared at him. Zuo Yiyi said he received over a billion worth of materials, but these array stones were worth at most four or five hundred million.

Jiang Han didn't bother to pursue the matter. He put away the ring and asked, "Did you inquire about the Goddess Painting?"

Jiang Han was most concerned about the Goddess Painting. A relief sculpture of his mother had appeared outside Tianluan City?

It was so conspicuous, and it even had Dao traces on it. The city lord of Tianluan City had even ordered that no one should approach or damage it.

There were too many questions surrounding this, and Jiang Han desperately wanted to know all the information about the Goddess Painting.

"I found out some things!"

Jiang Lang explained, "However, there isn't much information about the Goddess Painting. All I know is that this relief sculpture suddenly appeared seven or eight years ago, and no one knows who carved it."

"After it appeared, it alarmed many Human experts. The city lord of Tianluan City took a few glances and then ordered that no one should approach or damage it."

Jiang Han eagerly asked, "Are there any rumors about Yan Qin and Jiang Henshui?"

"No!"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "I asked many people, but no one has ever heard of your mother's name. Is Jiang Henshui your father's name?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "Go and inquire about the name Jiang Henshui again. Perhaps… this relief sculpture might have been carved by my father. What if my father is in the city?"

"Alright!"

Jiang Lang turned and walked out. Jiang Han followed him, and the two quickly went down the mountain.

Jiang Lang went straight to Tianluan City, while Jiang Han, unable to enter the city, headed towards the Goddess Painting.

Upon arriving at the Goddess Painting, Jiang Han saw from afar that there were people sitting in meditation beneath it. There were more than a dozen people, it seemed they had come to comprehend the Dao traces within the Goddess Painting.

Jiang Han took a deep breath, calming his expression. He approached the Goddess Painting. The moonlight was bright tonight, and the Goddess Painting could be seen very clearly.

The relief sculpture was carved on the stone wall here. The carving was exquisite, and Yan Qin's appearance and expression were perfectly captured.

Apart from the relief sculpture of a person, there was nothing else, no words, no hints, nothing at all.

The only thing there was, was Dao traces!

The relief sculpture was obviously carved with a sword, and it had a very strong sword intent. That sword intent was extremely powerful, and a chilling aura rushed towards anyone who approached it.

Jiang Han stood there sensing it for half an hour, but he couldn't sense anything.

He sighed in disappointment, but the doubts in his mind only grew stronger.

Who exactly carved the Goddess Painting?

What was his mother's true identity? Why would there be a relief sculpture of his mother in the Starsea Battlefield, which was hundreds of millions of miles away? Where did his parents go?

Jiang Han could now be certain of one thing: his parents were definitely not dead!

This relief sculpture was carved seven or eight years ago, about the same time his parents disappeared. This relief sculpture had powerful Dao trace remnants, which meant that the person who carved it was very powerful.

Even if the person who carved it wasn't his father, Jiang Henshui, they would at least be related to his mother, Yan Qin.

If his mother had such a powerful friend, how could her combat power be weak? How could she have died in the Heavenly Fox Mountains?

Rustle, rustle!

A fat figure rushed over from afar, reaching Jiang Han's side. Jiang Lang had returned.

Jiang Han looked at him with expectant eyes. Jiang Lang shook his head and whispered, "I asked many people, and some have been here for more than a decade, but no one has ever heard of your father's name."

"Let's go back first!"

Jiang Han waved his hand, feeling a headache coming on. The two walked towards Sword Demon Peak.

Back in the small courtyard, after entering the room, Jiang Lang saw Jiang Han's worried face and comforted him, "Jiang Han, you don't need to worry too much. This Goddess Painting at least proves that your mother is not an ordinary person. Her combat power might be stronger than you think. Since she is a strong person, she won't be an unknown figure. I'll inquire about it carefully later."

"Moreover, your mother's combat power is so strong, how could she die silently? So she is definitely alive. Since she is alive, she will appear sooner or later, and you will be reunited."

Jiang Han nodded slightly and said, "Never mind, I want to go to the Devil's Sea. Will you come with me?"

Jiang Lang's face turned bitter, and he asked, "Why do you have to go to the Devil's Sea? It's such a dangerous place. Can't we go somewhere else?"

"I can't!"

Jiang Han didn't need to hide anything from Jiang Lang, so he explained, "I awakened a lightning-attribute divine ability, Roaring Lightning Dragon. Killing Liu Dong and the five Reincarnation Realm cultivators on Immortal Slaughter Peak, all relied on this divine ability. This divine ability is a pain in the ass, it needs to absorb a large amount of lightning energy, and it can't be released without energy."

"Damn…"

Jiang Lang scratched his nose awkwardly and said, "So your divine ability is a one-time use thing? This is the first time I've heard of such a strange divine ability."

"But the power is terrifying. Shen Mo was at the seventh or eighth level of the Reincarnation Realm, and you killed five people with one shot. It seems your divine ability can kill all Reincarnation Realm cultivators."

"No!"

Jiang Han shook his head and said, "I think it was just luck that I happened to trigger the lightning in the sky, otherwise the power wouldn't have been so great."

"I estimated that ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivators at the fifth or sixth level definitely couldn't withstand it. Ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivators at the eighth or ninth level, if I used my full power to unleash the maximum power, should be able to seriously injure them."

"Then let's go!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "We can only stay on the periphery. You're just absorbing some lightning energy anyway. It is said that there is lightning on the periphery of the Devil's Sea, so just absorb some from afar. If we go too deep, we will definitely die."

"I know, I'm not stupid!"

Jiang Han nodded. The two walked out of the room and told Bai Li Ju, then went down Sword Demon Mountain again. The two bypassed Tianluan City and headed north.

The two were very careful. Although it was forbidden for the Human race to kill each other on Tianluan Island, anyone caught killing another would be executed without mercy. But what if they weren't discovered? If they were quietly killed, who would care?

The two traveled for a while and burrowed into the ground. Jiang Han used the Spirit Seeking Technique to scout.

After confirming that no one was around, they traveled a distance underground, then went up to the island, ran for a distance, and dug another hole, continuing to scout.

After repeated scouting three times, confirming that no one was following them, the two ran at full speed.

Tianluan Island was very large, three times the size of Wangyue Island. The two ran at full speed for three full hours, and it was dawn before they reached the sea.

Jiang Han took out the small boat and the Ghost Flag, ready to cloak themselves at any time.

The other three directions of the Devil's Sea were the main camps of the three races. Who knew if there were any warriors of the three races in the Devil's Sea?

If they encountered a foreign race's experts, their strength would probably be enough to be slapped to death.
