Chapter 493: Chapter 319: I Just Need to Contribute to the Success, Not Seek the Fame
In the grand hall, all was silent.
Li Shen Sect sighed softly and extended his hand in a summoning gesture.
A sword flew swiftly from afar, landing firmly in his grasp.
He stepped into the grand hall, holding the sword.
There he saw upon the grand hall, a divine statue standing about two zhang tall.
But it was not a statue made of clay, it was a real body.
The body of the Human Clan could hardly bear the power contained within it.
To prevent the body from going out of control and completely turning into an evil spirit, it was strengthened to its present form, its muscles knotted and its bones stout, nearly two zhang tall.
"It has grown this big."
Seeing this, Li Shen Sect could not help but chuckle, ready to mock, but he ultimately sighed.
"To avoid losing control and ending up like this, it looks like a humanoid, but who has seen a giant like you?"
He held the sword in his hand and whispered softly, "Having the form of a human, but what’s the point?"
Suddenly, a candlelight flickered ahead, dim and dull.
Then one row after another, the candlelights began to brighten, illuminating the entire grand hall.
And the "giant statue" in front, at this moment, became even clearer.
Its face was aged, its body strong.
A pair of eyes, murky and unclear.
More importantly, a "spear" pierced through from under the ribs, diagonally from the back!
That was not a spear, but a giant arrow!
This was an arrow from the Ancient Era!
Eighteen years ago, namely in the year 1643 of the Saint Calendar.
In the late summer and early autumn, Yin Thunder struck the Holy Land.
The Holy Land was damaged, and the Saint Master personally blocked the breach, but he was attacked by a divine arrow that broke three of his ribs.
Even today, the wound had not healed.
No one had anticipated that the Saint Master’s injury had become so severe.
This arrow, after eighteen years, still had not been removed from the Saint Master’s body.
"While I was in the Netherworld, I tried every possible way to investigate the origin of this arrow, but found no clues."
Li Shen Sect exhaled, looking at the giant before him.
Under the candlelight’s glow.
Three shadows emerged behind the giant.
Under different angles of the candlelight, shadows that varied appeared.
With Li Shen Sect’s sharp eyes, he could see that these three shadows were not merely silhouettes.
One had a fierce and terrifying face, with eyes full of ruthlessness.
Another had gentle eyes and a calm demeanor, with a touch of sorrow.
The last one had a complex expression, wanting to roar angrily, but appeared extremely suppressed.
And the three shadows were all shackled by invisible chains!
Those were the chains from the Netherworld.
This time, Mr. Lu had only sent two pairs of shackles.
But the first pair of shackles, were obtained by Li Shen Sect from the ancient Netherworld.
Because he had brought shackles from the Netherworld, sealing away the Saint Master’s malevolent thoughts, the Saint Master had a method to escape his predicament.
Three pairs of shackles, locking away benevolent thoughts, malevolent thoughts, and natural mixed thoughts!
Thus, within the true body, there was no good, no evil, and no nature, allowing the restoration of the effectiveness of the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique!
"I understand the need to lock away malevolent thoughts,"
Li Shen Sect looked at the three shadows and sighed, "Being in this world, it’s hard to avoid personal desires... thus, locking away nature, sealing emotions and desires, cutting off vain thoughts, I can understand that too."
He frowned and said, "But why must you lock away these benevolent thoughts?"
The towering, strong elderly man, with cloudy eyes and a cold voice, said, "Beneath kindness, one cannot avoid feeling burdened, the lack of ruthlessness in killing, the inability to make decisive cuts... Benevolent thoughts make one indecisive, resulting in a tender-heartedness that obstructs great achievements!"
"Your benevolent thoughts, for the greater good of the Human Clan, were meant to help you suppress ’the self’ and ’malevolent thoughts’!"
Li Shen Sect pondered and said, "Now that you’ve also sealed away the benevolent thoughts, you’ll have to deal with three versions of yourself..."
With a cold tone, the Saint Master slowly said, "Benevolent thoughts are willing to help but do not wish to fight among themselves. At the final moment, they will inevitably become weak! It’s all going to be suppressed eventually. With these three pairs of shackles, push them all down, and my Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique will be largely restored!"
"Fine."
Li Shen Sect nodded and couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you going to wait any longer?"
The Saint Master did not respond.
Li Shen Sect sighed, "Ever since Mr. Lu informed you about the new technique, you have indeed expended the little remaining energy you had... Why not wait a few more days to see if the new technique might work?"
"Delay might bring changes."
The Saint Master slowly said, "I have done all I can to assist matters of the outside world! My life and Transformation are irrelevant to the new technique; I will not wait..."
Li Shen Sect fell silent for a moment then said, "You must inflict three cuts upon yourself today. If successful, the Holy Land remains stable. If not, it becomes the Forbidden Land... And for the new technique’s assistance, it’s quite likely this will be the last thing you do for the Human Clan in this life. Wouldn’t you want to leave your name behind?"
"It suffices that I am part of the achievement; fame does not have to include me."
The Saint Master slowly said, "Remember your promise!"
Li Shen Sect nodded slightly and said, "Born as a man, I, Li Shen Sect, shall serve the Human Clan! As for the future..."
He exhaled and said, "When I am no longer ’of the Human Clan’, I will not act against them!"
"Good!"
The Saint Master responded, but then paused, ultimately sighing, "Regarding the new technique, how confident are you?"
"Using the complete Netherworld to create the Inner Realm Divine Domain, it might truly succeed!"
Li Shen Sect thought for a moment and said, "However, not having achieved the Primordial Spirit and creating the Inner Realm is hard to imagine... What do you think the chances are?"
The Saint Master fell silent again, then said, "I inherit the Holy Land, blending with this place’s grandeur... Although I am tasked with managing the ’original’ Landscaping Technique, I have never personally created, hence the difficulty in determining the complications involved, that’s why I’m asking you!"
"What’s the use of asking me? Creation... do you think I have the experience?"
