After seeing those symbols, her expression greatly changed.
“Who was having a ceremony here just now?”
An old servant nearby immediately went around to look for information and came back with results.
“The city guards said that there was an old man and a young boy around the age of thirteen here just now. They were burning the money.”
“Chase and find them immediately.”
The girl declared her command.
“Your Highness is supposed to go to God’s Mountain right now.”
The old servant hesitantly whimpered.
“Find them!”
The goddess yelled softly; her body disappearing across space to find the two.
In the end, she was unable to find them and had to return dejectedly to the palace. The symbols rotated in her head. They had disappeared for a long time, why was it that they appeared again in the outskirt after ten thousands of years? Are they friends or foes?
“Your Highness, we couldn’t find the people who were burning the gold ceremonial items.”
An old loyal servant reported.
“Order everyone to keep in mind that if there was any news about the two people, immediately report back to me.”
The goddess gravely commanded.
Hearing this, the servant was extremely surprised. With the current power of the Heaven Protector Palace and the reputation of their goddess, it was rare that she would carry such a serious expression.
“Then what about the God’s Mountain…”
The servant asked.
“Cancel it!”
The goddess exclaimed.
“I have to read the ancient books that the ancestors have left behind; something strange is happening.”
She immediately went to the deepest part of the forbidden grounds in the Heaven Protector Palace.

The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect resided in the nation of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. It used to be of Immortal Emperor lineage with a long history. In the beginning of the Emperor Era, Immortal Emperor Min Ren imperiously stood at the peak and created a sect and named it Cleansing Incense.
Unfortunately, after millions of years, it could not withstand the test of time and its unforgiving nature. The sect was no longer of the Immortal Emperor ranking that could rules the land like in the old age. No matter how hard it tries, it could not rekindle the ancient glory nor stop its unrelentingly slow demise.
“Elder, not good, a mortal said he wants us to accept him as the prime disciple.
A disciple hurriedly reported to the first elder of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect as he was stepping outside.
“Kick him off the mountain!”
Without giving a glance, the first elder proclaimed.
“Why would you even report such a little thing?”
A mortal wanting to be the prime disciple of our sect? What a joke. A prime disciple is the same as the sect master’s protégé; one with the highest chance of becoming the future sect master. Of course, when the sect master wasn’t present, then the first elder could still personally take care of these matters.
“But he was recommended by San Gui Ye.”
The disciple stuttered.
“San Gui Ye?”
Raising his eyebrows, the first elder unhappily said.
“Was he bribed by liquor? Was that why he is recommending this mortal?”
San Gui Ye used to belong to the sect, but the sect did not want to recognize this member.
Although the name sounded very heroic, this name had caused the sect to lose all dignity.
San Gui Ye had three “good” qualities to him. He was very good at spending money, lying, and fooling around in the brothels. That was why they called him San Gui Ye.[2]
