Chapter 803: Chapter 449: Shangri!

Heavenly Destiny City.

Outside the Supreme Pavilion.

The Old Taoist paced back and forth, tilting his head to ask: "Isn’t the Alliance Hierarch in the Supreme Pavilion? It’s about time he returned..."

"The Alliance Hierarch encountered a powerful enemy on his way to the Withered Glory Sacred Land but has already slain them."

A middle-aged scholar emerged, bowed, and said: "He’s currently in Withered Glory Sacred Land, arranging various aftermath matters, but after concluding them, he will head east and will not return to Heavenly Destiny City."

"This is terrible..."

The Old Taoist’s expression changed slightly.

"Old Taoist, what on earth is happening?"

Within the Supreme Pavilion, an elderly voice carried over: "You’ve refrained from entering the Supreme Pavilion for many years. Why are you so agitated this time?"

"Talking to you is useless."

The Old Taoist rubbed his head, looked at the middle-aged scholar, and said: "Send a message to the Alliance Hierarch; there’s an issue with the item left by the Shangri Sacred Land..."

As his voice fell, he hurriedly went in search of the Elders from Upper Heaven.

——

The Three Elders of Sun, Moon, and Stars, under the command of Shangguan Youqi, had fully replicated the Heavenly Skill and delivered it to the Holy Alliance.

But the Old Taoist hurriedly came, looking anxious.

The Three Elders exchanged glances, showing a peculiar expression.

In the Holy Alliance, aside from the Alliance Hierarch hailing from Upper Heaven, the one most familiar to them was the Old Taoist.

The Human Clan bathed in Canglong’s blood!

Aged and highly ranked!

In essence, the Old Taoist had manifold connections with Upper Heaven.

"There’s trouble at Shangri Sacred Land."

The Old Taoist’s expression was solemn as he conveyed all his speculations.

Ten years ago, the Young Master of Shangri Sacred Land came to Heavenly Destiny City, offering tribute to the Saint Master and reporting the situation of the Sacred Land for that year to the Holy Alliance.

Yet upon departure, the Young Master handed a Fire Seed to the Alliance Hierarch.

This was a fiery item, exceptional in alchemical use, later entrusted to the Old Taoist for safekeeping.

Eight years ago, the Old Taoist placed the Fire Seed atop a bronze ancient lamp.

This ancient lamp wasn’t an Ancient Divine Object, but it dates back several millennia, crafted during the reign of the Second Generation Human Emperor by ancestors of the Human Clan as a Magic Artifact, nearly a Divine Artifact yet lacking Spiritual Wisdom.

Ordinarily, borrowing the lamp flames from the bronze ancient lamp makes the alchemical process highly efficient.

The Old Taoist was recently in seclusion, refining a kind of longevity Divine Pill from Upper Heaven secrets, unaware of the Alliance Hierarch’s journey to the Withered Glory Sacred Land.

However, the other day, when the pill was complete, the cauldron unexpectedly exploded, destroying the elixir completely.

Initially suspecting a formula error, it wasn’t until last night that the problem was found in the bronze ancient lamp.

This ancient lamp of several thousand years had developed cracks.

And the Fire Seed from Shangri Sacred Land seemed slightly more potent than before.

Thus, an error occurred in the control of heat.

It was thought the bronze ancient lamp had deteriorated due to age, hence its destruction, but after tidying up and switching to another treasured lamp for refining anew, he discovered the Fire Seed stored overnight had burned through his precious bottle.

In just one night, the flame rose over three feet!

"This is bad!"

The Elder in the blazing robe’s expression changed slightly, and he said: "This Fire Seed should have been extracted from the Sun beneath Shangri Sacred Land..."

"From the Fire Seed alone, we can gauge the state of Shangri Sacred Land."

"Sent ten years ago, meaning at least a decade ago, the Saint Master had already sensed the issues."

"He must have feared an abrupt upheaval at the Sacred Land one day, and the inability to notify the Holy Alliance, thus leaving the Fire Seed to serve as a timely warning."

With a change in the blazing Elder’s tone.

The Old Taoist’s expression fluctuated, saying: "The Alliance Hierarch has stayed in Heavenly Destiny City for many years, why is it during his absence that the Fire Seed acts up?"

The Three Elders exchanged glances.

The Elder in the lunar robe pondered and said: "Considering the timing, His Highness and the Saint Master should be within the Shangri Sacred Land’s region."

"Regardless, the upheaval at the Sacred Land is sudden and devoid of preparation."

The Old Taoist paced anxiously and said: "This hasn’t happened previously..."

"Not entirely unprepared."

The Elder with the blazing robe pondered and said: "His Highness awakening from the Time Forbidden Technique may not entirely be due to Great Luck, likely due to the upheaval at Shangri Sacred Land, prompting an early awakening."

"Upon awakening, the first action was to proceed to Shangri Sacred Land, underscoring anticipation of these events."

The Elder in the lunar robe pondered and said: "It seems your Alliance Hierarch might have had some inkling."

The Old Taoist shook his head and said: "If he had foreseen it, he should have made early preparations to evacuate the Human Clan within the Sacred Land’s region...he did not prepare."

"Possibly there’s no time to prepare."

The Elder in the star robe contemplated and said: "How long since His Highness awoke? Moreover, the upheaval at Shangri Sacred Land happened overnight..."

The Old Taoist’s expression fluctuated, saying: "Then what should be done?"

The Elder with the blazing robe shook his head and said: "His Highness and the Saint Master went precisely for Shangri Sacred Land...we need not concern ourselves with the upheaval there, and as for aftermath arrangements, they likely need handling once Shangri Sacred Land is stabilized."

——

Withered Glory Sacred Land.

The Master of the Holy Alliance was managing aftermath affairs and then prepared to head east and set sail.

Upon hearing the news from Shangri Sacred Land, he hesitated for a moment.

"It seems it cannot be suppressed."

The Alliance Hierarch sighed, looking toward Shangri Sacred Land, softly saying: "Hopefully, His Highness and the Saint Master resolve it soon..."

"There’s one thing I’ve never understood."

Beside the Alliance Hierarch stood the Supreme Commander of the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department, he said with a complex expression: "A few days ago, you heard Lord Shangguan mention the upheaval at Shangri Sacred Land, why wasn’t there any action?"
