During this time, Sandy, with the help of several elders of the Soul Clan, finally completed the systematic translation of all the ancient books.

After carefully examining and sorting through the various books, Sandy made another discovery.

"Boss Fang, I can now confirm that the progenitor of the Blood Clan was cursed by the Holy See at the time, and his strength was severely suppressed. Then, he forcibly broke through space to escape, and was seriously injured when he accidentally entered the World of Ten Thousand Forests."

"In order to survive and undo the curse left by the God Realm, the progenitor of the Blood Clan sought help from the Tree Spirit Clan at that time."

As Sandy spoke, he glanced at the few Soul Clan elders in the hall who had helped translate the books, paused, and continued, "Boss Fang, you also know the personality of the Tree Spirit Clan. They have no interest in spending a lot of effort to help such an outsider."

"Ahem, continue."

Fang Heng thought to himself that he understood, of course.

It would have been good enough if the Tree Spirit Clan hadn't kicked the progenitor of the Blood Clan out.

"The progenitor of the Blood Clan had also lost the ability to transfer space again at that time, and chose to stay temporarily in the inner world. Later, somehow, he came into contact with the seal of the Seed of Pride."

One of the Soul Clan elders nodded at this time and continued, "According to records, a very small amount of pollution would leak from the sealed area of the Seed of Pride every day. The Tree Spirit Clan had a very poor ability to clean up pollution, and the progenitor of the Blood Clan claimed to have special abilities from the God Realm that could effectively remove the pollution."

"Yes!" Sandy nodded and said, "The progenitor of the Blood Clan used this ability to temporarily stay within the Tree Spirit Clan, relying on the power of the Tree Spirit Clan's sacred tree to temporarily stabilize the curse."

"Then, coincidentally, after the progenitor of the Blood Clan had lived there for a while, the Nightfall Stone of the Tree Spirit Clan was damaged, and the aura of the Seed of Pride leaked significantly."

"It was also at this time that the progenitor of the Blood Clan proposed a deal to the Tree Spirit Clan, offering to use a divine artifact he brought from the God Realm as a replacement for the Nightfall Stone to seal the Seed of Pride."

"Of course, in exchange, the Tree Spirit Clan needed to help him solve the problem of the curse within his body."

Hearing this, Fang Heng completely understood.

How could things be so coincidental!

The damage to the Nightfall Stone was likely a trick played by the progenitor of the Blood Clan behind the scenes.

Mo Jiawei quickly understood as well, and curled his lip to the side, "Good fellow, after all this time, the escape of the Seed of Pride is also related to that kid, the progenitor of the Blood Clan. That guy is also a troublemaker."

Gu Qingzhu pursed her lips and pondered, "What you just said is just some speculation based on the ancient books. Is there more evidence to prove it?"

"Yes, I conducted some tests on the damaged Nightfall Stone, including an energy fluctuation test. I compared the energy fluctuations remaining in the remains of the Blood Clan King and found some overlap."

Qiu Yaokang also stood beside the others, nodding at this time and saying, "It is confirmed that there is a relationship between the two. It can be considered as corroboration, at least confirming that the Blood Clan King had contact with the energy of the Nightfall Stone and also used the energy of the Nightfall Stone to suppress the seal of the curse, but the overall effect was not good."

"Uh..." Mo Jiawei listened, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it possible that the progenitor of the Blood Clan wanted to use the Nightfall Stone to suppress the curse on his body and accidentally messed it up? Damaged the Nightfall Stone?"

"It's possible, but these things can no longer be verified."

"Well, these are not important," Fang Heng said, stroking his chin, then looked at Sandy and asked, "I'm curious now, what did the progenitor of the Blood Clan use to help the Tree Spirit Clan temporarily seal the Seed of Pride?"

"Haha, Boss Fang, you are indeed worthy of the name!" Sandy smiled and clapped his hands in praise when he heard this, "You saw the essence of the matter at a glance. The progenitor of the Blood Clan provided the Tree Spirit Clan with an extremely important item, said to be a treasure brought from the God Realm, you would never guess it!"

Everyone was successfully intrigued by Sandy and asked, "Don't keep us in suspense, what is it?"

"The inheritance of the Great Sage of the Holy See. The ancient books record that this thing can release extremely strong sacred energy fluctuations, which can perfectly replace the Nightfall Stone as the core for suppressing pollution, and even this thing is more effective than the Nightfall Stone!"

Inheritance?

Great Sage?

"But just a few years later, the effect of the suppression item became worse and worse, until it completely lost its effect. When the Tree Spirit Clan wanted to find the progenitor of the Blood Clan again, it was already too late. The progenitor of the Blood Clan had long disappeared."

"After discovering the problem, the Tree Spirit Clan was furious, but there was nothing they could do. They also had to face the erupting Seed of Pride, and they had no time to find the progenitor of the Blood Clan to take revenge. Later, as time went by, the problems caused by the sacred tree suppressing the Seed of Pride became more and more serious, until the holy war between the Tree Spirit Clan and the Seed of Pride broke out... Well, we already know what happened later."

Fang Heng nodded as he listened, and exchanged a glance with Mo Jiawei beside him.

According to the information they had previously learned, the progenitor of the Blood Clan was imprisoned by the Holy See for committing a serious crime.

Could this serious crime refer to theft?

A treasure that can suppress the Seed of Pride...

It shouldn't be trash, right?

Fang Heng asked, "Can that suppression item still be found?"

"Hehe, of course, it has already been found." Sandy nodded and said, "I checked a lot of ancient books. Since the suppression item became ineffective, it has been stored in the Elder Council, gathering dust. Later, with the destruction of the Tree Spirit Clan and the reopening of the inner world, the major clans discovered it during their meticulous searches, but they didn't pay attention to it."

"Until recently, when the Soul Clan was cleaning up the inner world, they brought out many old items stored in the Elder Council and stored them in the newly established Holy Temple in the external world."

As he spoke, Sandy gestured to the two Soul Clan elders behind him.

A Soul Clan guard walked up with a tray.

On the tray was an old, broken crown ornament.

"I compared it with the description in the ancient books, and there shouldn't be any problem. It's this crown. It feels like it has indeed lost its power."

As he spoke, the Soul Clan guard placed the tray in front of Fang Heng.

Fang Heng lowered his head and carefully observed it.

The crown appeared to be made of some kind of metal product, and the exterior had been heavily corroded. At first glance, it looked like old junk that had just been unearthed from somewhere.

Fang Heng tried to reach out and gently touched the crown.

The crown felt very rough to the touch, and there was no reaction.

[Item: Old Crown].

Description: Looks like a piece of art. The exterior has been greatly corroded, making it difficult to sell for a price.
