Chapter 779: Chapter 437: The Blade That Strikes Down the Leader of the Human Clan!_2

The Little White Ape couldn’t help but poke its head out and said, "The flesh body was cut down, the Primordial Spirit is gone too, isn’t that considered dead?"

"His Primordial Spirit merged into a Supreme Treasure, and eventually, when the power of the Primordial Spirit was exhausted, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits all transformed, leaving only a trace of True Spirit that does not perish..."

Shangguan Youqi said, "In my eyes, he is dead; only a trace of True Spirit remains, merged into the treasure, awakening its spiritual wisdom... But within the treasure’s spiritual wisdom, it indeed possesses his True Spirit."

He spread his hands and said, "If you pour this basin of water into the pond, carefully considered, the water is still there!"

"The Heavenly Gate Master is not utterly annihilated, at least the hatred that belongs to him, the curse upon us, still exists."

"This time, it can be considered as my failure."

Sighing, Shangguan Youqi said, "That treasure also broke through the void and fled eastward."

Lin Yan remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know the origin of that treasure?"

"Legend has it that at the end of the path of cultivation, if you go further up, past a gateway, you can reach the heavens."

Shangguan Youqi’s expression was complicated as he said, "Some call it the Immortal Gate, some the Heavenly Gate, some the Gate of Tao, and others the Gate to Heaven... But the First Human Emperor called it the Mysterious Gate!"

He said this and sighed, "It’s a pity it is only a fragment, otherwise obtaining this treasure would present endless opportunities... With such a Supreme Treasure, it’s no wonder the Heavenly Gate Master could contend with the current Holy Alliance. It’s unknown how they managed to manipulate such a Supreme Treasure."

Lin Yan waved his hand, mana condensing into a spell, and said, "The Secret Technique left by the Ancestor of the Heavenly Gate, capable of maneuvering the Heavenly Gate."

"I won’t look at it..."

Shangguan Youqi hastily waved his hand, turned his head away, and said, "My elders have told me that the Heavenly Gate is not my destiny."

"You, such an old thing, still have elders?"

The Little White Ape drew in a breath.

"What kind of talk is that? What old thing? I’m in my prime!"

Shangguan Youqi said angrily, "Besides, I didn’t spring forth from a rock, nor did I grow out of a corpse’s Evil Spirit... I was born and raised by my parents, and my elders are still alive!"

He said this as he pointed at Lin Yan, hesitated for a moment, and added, "This is my Fifth Master, I address him as master!"

"Alright."

Lin Yan rubbed his forehead and, looking towards the north, asked, "Did you see that guy earlier?"

"Yes."

Shangguan Youqi said helplessly, "It was precisely because I sensed His presence and feared He might be detrimental to you, that I got distracted, allowing that treasure to break through the void and escape..."

Lin Yan’s expression was grave as he said, "’This Celestial being,’ within holds the ’memories and thoughts’ of millions of lives, surely extremely chaotic and extremely frenzied. Now that He has escaped, He will undoubtedly become a major threat!"

"If we do not kill Him soon, wherever He goes, there will surely be a storm of blood... "

"If there were any secret medicine left by the Heavenly Gate Master to restrain Him, it would be much simpler."

Following Lin Yan’s words, his gaze quietly settled on Shangguan Youqi.

"None."

Shangguan Youqi spread his hands and said, "I bombarded the Heavenly Gate Master nine times; everything else on his body was obliterated, except for these clothes, which look decent and weren’t blasted apart..."

——

Along the East Sea coastline.

"Pass down the order, shortly there will be a Divine Light coming from behind, heading towards the East Sea, do not obstruct it!"

The Supreme Commander of the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department said with his hands behind his back.

He slightly closed his eyes and thought secretly, "The remains of the Ancestor of the Heavenly Gate is going to the East Sea! And the current Heavenly Gate Master is dead..."

"Currently, only a few scattered Heavenly Gate Elders remain outside, along with those hidden within our Holy Alliance."

"With these individuals, they can no longer shake the foundation of the Holy Alliance."

"Instead, the ’Physical Body Evil’ that ultimately survived from the Ten Thousand Gu Divine Array, formed by the gathering of millions of souls... it may be quite troublesome!"

——

Holy Alliance, Heavenly Destiny City.

"The main entity of this Physical Body Evil is the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Gate, but he has already been overwhelmed by the flesh and souls of millions of beings."

"Although he still appears to be himself, he is no longer the same as before the Ten Thousand Gu Divine Array was activated."

"This guy’s cultivation was already quite high, having the cultivation to break through the Seven Heavens, now he probably has the capability to break through the Nine Heavens."

Old Taoist said with a heavy tone, slowly speaking: "If the Alliance Hierarch doesn’t take action, and he ravages the Ten Directions, he might be difficult to balance."

"No."

The Master of the Holy Alliance said calmly: "The Ten Thousand Tribulations Yin Spirit cannot ascend to Sanctum, he is too chaotic and not pure enough, he can never break through the Extreme Heaven!"

"But this Physical Body Evil is comparable to a Martial Saint breaking through the Nine Heavens!"

Old Taoist shook his head and said: "Do not think that you have taken the last step, and underestimate the strong ones in the world... He is a significant threat to all sides of the Holy Alliance!"

"The Physical Body Evil that walked out from the Ten Thousand Gu Divine Array is no different than a Treasure Medicine that is not fully matured!"

The Master of the Holy Alliance slowly said: "He was initially a Treasure Medicine that the Heavenly Gate Master intended to refine... but it was missing the final step, which would attract many ambitious people to complete this last step."

"Ambitious people?"

Old Taoist hesitated for a moment, and said: "Are you referring to the ’Celestial’ hidden within the higher levels of the Holy Alliance?"

"Compared to this Physical Body Evil, it is the ’Celestial’ hidden within our Supreme Pavilion of the Holy Alliance that is more terrifying!"

The Master of the Holy Alliance said softly: "They hold high positions among the Human Clan, one of the highest decision-makers, but they are too selfish, and for personal gain, they could regard the Human Clan as ants, and might betray the Human Clan at any time!"

"I can still suppress them while I am alive, but after my death, their ambition will no longer be restrained!"

"Even if a new Alliance Hierarch succeeds, these old fossils will become the root cause of turmoil in the Holy Alliance!"

"Unless the new Alliance Hierarch, like me, wreaks havoc, but excessive turmoil, in turn, damages the foundation of the Human Clan!"

"Over these years, under my governance, have there been fewer instances of hypocritical actions in various boundaries?"

He said this and exhaled, saying: "As the upper echelons of the Human Clan, every move must gain popular confidence! To kill these old fossils, we must act with legitimate authority!"

Old Taoist pondered while saying: "This Physical Body Evil is extremely tempting to them, as long as they dare to emerge... you can, as a Saint Master, one by one, remove the thorns on the bushes?"

"Not necessarily the Saint Master."

The Master of the Holy Alliance slowly said: "The Saint Master can carve out a great path for the Human Clan during the Deceit Night, slay various evil spirits, and protect the people worldwide! But his temperament may not be suitable as the leader of the next generation of the Human Clan..."

Upon hearing this, Old Taoist nodded slightly and said: "That’s true... I heard that the Saint Master of South Mountain Sacred Land has died, originally wanted him to succeed as the leader of the Human Clan south of the Taixuan Divine Mountain, but the Saint Master refused!"

"So back then, you kept clamoring for me to step down, for the Saint Master to take over, might not necessarily be correct."

The Master of the Holy Alliance chuckled and said: "If the Saint Master was willing to take over, he would undoubtedly win the confidence of the people! But even he himself is unwilling to become the leader of the Human Clan, so there’s no way..."

Old Taoist thought for a moment and asked: "Then after he comes to the Holy Alliance, what position will you assign him?"

"The stronger the Human Clan, the greater the risk of losing control! And even if due to new techniques in the future, the risk of losing control is lessened, however..."

The Master of the Holy Alliance said in a deep tone: "The human leader, sitting too high, overlooking all life, not understanding the bitterness of the Mortal World... Over time, they could easily become a form of ’Celestial’!"

He said this while pointing upwards, saying: "The existence of the Saint Master is not only to slay evil spirits and protect the people... He can also be the knife hanging over the heads of the Human Clan’s higher echelons!"

"If in the future, the human leader no longer has the Human Clan in their heart, only themselves... That would be a disaster for the race!"

"At that moment, there needs to be a knife to cut down this generation’s corrupt ’leader’ from their high position!"

"The Saint Master is this knife!"
