Chapter 781: Chapter 438: The Connection Between Shangri Sacred Land and the Saint Master!_2

"As it relates to the step of the Human Martial Saint, the Saint Master must not be allowed to take risks ahead."

"The Saint Master is wholeheartedly paving the way for the Human Clan, but as the ’Creators of Laws’, how can we let the Saint Master bear the future of a race alone?"

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd and said, "We must quickly, and ahead of time, calculate the key for the Saint Master to breakthrough to the Human Martial Saint! We must be the first to explore the risks ahead for the Saint Master, and not let the Saint Master take risks again!"

"..."

All the wise scholars stood up, their expressions solemn, and said, "From today onwards, we will not sleep or rest, and will definitely delve into this barrier before the Saint Master breaks through to the Human Martial Saint!"

——

Lin Yan, within the Holy Alliance, felt a stir in his heart.

He noticed that the previously exhausted power of incense had surged again, recovering by twenty to thirty thousand.

Then he turned his head and looked at Shangguan Youqi by his side.

Since returning from the Heavenly Gate, Shangguan Youqi had appeared somewhat complex in expression.

Initially, Lin Yan thought he might have sustained some injuries from the battle with the Heavenly Gate Master, or perhaps aggravated old wounds.

Yet the Little White Ape speculated that this fellow must have thrown too many murderous treasures, feeling distressed over them.

"Fifth Master, this Heavenly Gate ancestor seems a bit different from what I imagined."

Shangguan Youqi sighed, saying, "I always believed that these Celestials and Upper People are the same, self-conceited with deep cultivation, thus declaring themselves as Celestials, looking down upon all beings... They view the Human Clan as ants and even deliver the Human Clan to evil spirits."

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "But now, it seems some of them might not be truly heinous."

Lin Yan fell silent and said, "This Heavenly Gate ancestor wants to continue the race’s survival in an alternative way, letting future humans exist as ’Celestials.’"

"However, this is too extreme, also severing the survival of their descendants."

"Once this batch of Celestials dies out, there will be no successors."

"And the existing Celestials of today are more of ’Physical Body Evils,’ devouring a large number of the Human Clan, thus creating chaotic consciousness, self-declaring as Celestials."

"Even today’s Heavenly Gate ancestor believes this path was wrong."

Saying this, Lin Yan’s expression remained calm, "Regardless of their initial intentions for establishing the Heavenly Gate... Their existence threatens the foundation of the Human Clan; if more Celestials arise, I will still eradicate them all!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Youqi showed a contemplative look.

Lin Yan stated calmly, "It’s inevitable for people to have selfishness, but when their selfishness jeopardizes the race’s survival, it transcends pure right and wrong, good or evil."

"In the south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, there is no presence of the Heavenly Gate."

"Yet, among the high-ranking human experts, quite a few exploit their positions for personal gain, using unscrupulous means."

"They plunder the resources of the Human Clan, even sacrificing its citizens to further their own cultivation!"

"From a certain perspective, these individuals, occupying high positions and being supported by all living beings but considering only themselves, are the pure Celestials in the eyes of the Heavenly Gate ancestor."

"If they were merely pure Martial Artist experts, wandering the world, that would be fine! But they occupy high positions among the Human Clan and harbor hostility toward its people..."

Lin Yan said in a calm tone, "Therefore, whether they are the so-called pure Celestials or Celestials assimilated by Physical Body Evils, they all deserve to die!"

"I understand."

There was some unique glow in Shangguan Youqi’s eyes.

Lin Yan glanced at him and slowly said, "Is your Dao injury not only physical but also affecting your Heart Realm?"

Shangguan Youqi smiled and nodded, "The Saint Master’s guidance opened my eyes, clearing half of the guilt of the past..."

Lin Yan slightly nodded upon hearing this, "Recovering somewhat is good. Your venture to the Heavenly Gate, having expended numerous treasures, hasn’t been in vain."

"To eliminate the malignancy for the Human Clan, removing the rotten flesh, already makes it worthwhile."

Shangguan Youqi said with a smile, "Celestials are often not low in cultivation, such a malignancy placed upon the entire Human Clan is like a tumor in the brain, affecting the whole body... Now that it’s been mostly eradicated, we have done a great deed!"

He said so and continued, "Next, we need to visit the Shangri Sacred Land, as the Heavenly Gate previously delayed us."

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "You seem to have always hoped I’d visit the Shangri Sacred Land?"

Shangguan Youqi was startled, then chuckled, "Some matters require Fifth Master’s help."

Lin Yan’s gaze sharpened, "With your abilities, can’t you handle it?"

Shangguan Youqi didn’t respond directly, solemnly stating, "The root of the Shangri Sacred Land stems from an extremely powerful Heavenly God, among the prominent ones among the Ancient Old Gods."

The Little White Ape couldn’t help but ask, "Has the Shangri Sacred Lord lost control? Like the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master?"

"Not yet sure, so we must take a look,"

Shangguan Youqi rubbed his forehead, saying, "There are very important things inside the Shangri Sacred Land; nothing must go wrong! If the worst-case scenario does occur, I cannot suppress it alone..."

He looked up at Lin Yan, "The world’s Inner Realm Divine Domain, modeled after the Shangri Sacred Land, is called Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun... so there are two mountains in the Sacred Land, and I can only suppress one!"

The Little White Ape asked, "Given its importance, why hasn’t the Holy Alliance taken action yet, and only you came?"

Shangguan Youqi replied helplessly, "I just joined the Holy Alliance, although I gained some recognition as one of the Supreme Elders, but I am not familiar with the higher-ups in the Holy Alliance, so I cannot trust them."

"Then why trust me like this?"

Lin Yan asked again, staring intently at him, "Purely because of the name of the Saint Master?"

Shangguan Youqi scratched his head, saying, "If, across the entire world, a Human Clan member with Great Luck cannot be trusted, then the Human Clan is truly finished..."

"This is too reckless!"

The Little White Ape said, "Listen to yourself, do you even believe your own words... Actually, I do trust you a lot!"

Before the voice fell, the Little White Ape silently accepted the elixir handed over by Shangguan Youqi, saying, "From the beginning, I thought you were a good person."

"..."

Lin Yan sighed, no longer asking further questions.

As long as he could confirm that Shangguan Youqi harbored no malice, that was enough.

This person held great secrets!

He was equipped with numerous Supreme Treasures and knew many of the great mysteries of the world.

Moreover, he spoke frequently of matters from the era of the two emperors!

His every word and action fundamentally do not resemble those of a person of this age!

Even Lin Yan, who is from the south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, doesn’t entirely fit with the Holy Alliance!

Yet this person, even more than Lin Yan, seems out of place with this era!

"Then let’s take a trip to the Shangri Sacred Land."

Lin Yan thought of the Li Shen Sect who no longer belonged to the Human Clan.

The other party is almost certainly a being returning from the river of time.

And because that person sensed Prince Zhen Nan’s deployed Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun Inner Realm, they directed me to the Shangri Sacred Land.

Now this incredibly mysterious Shangguan Youqi also, intentionally or unintentionally, wants to take me to the Shangri Sacred Land.

What on earth is in this Sacred Land, closely linked with me?

Is it related to the Great Luck of the Human Clan? Or is it connected to the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction?

Beyond this, Lin Yan truly couldn’t figure out what connection he might have with the Shangri Sacred Land.

"However, after we were brought here by those from the Heavenly Gate with the Heavenly Star Dojo, can Fifth Master confirm which direction the Shangri Sacred Land is in?"

"..." Lin Yan remained silent.

"Don’t ask me." The Little White Ape shrugged, "If even you don’t know, don’t expect me to."

"..." Shangguan Youqi scratched his head awkwardly, "Isn’t this area supposed to be some Forbidden Land?"
