Chapter 502: Chapter 323: Ten Directions of Wind and Cloud Arise!

Holy Land.

In recent days, a large population had migrated to the Three Prefecture.

Even the Refining Hall, Divine Talisman Hall, Array Formation Hall, Alchemy Pavilion, and the library had already begun to move.

Now there are still many people in the Holy Land, but compared to the past, it’s vastly desolate.

Inside the long-silent great hall.

Footsteps suddenly echoed.

They sounded somewhat ethereal.

It was an old man wearing a white robe.

His hair was white as snow, his face haggard, his eyes vacant.

Staggering, he arrived at the entrance of the great hall, one hand pressed against the door, looking up in the direction of Qifeng Prefecture City.

The changes in the sky were all captured in his eyes.

He suddenly laughed softly, murmuring, "At this point in time, I have not dishonored the name of the past Saint Masters."

"At least, in my generation, the Human Clan under the Holy Land’s jurisdiction has established new laws that can be passed down through the ages, blessing the future generations."

"In my lifetime, to see the new laws enacted, I can die without regrets."

Reflecting on the past, the old man’s expression was complicated.

He was one with the Holy Land and had been called the Saint Master, a position of utmost supremacy.

But for him, the seat of the Saint Master was not about supreme authority or power, but an immensely heavy responsibility.

Every word he spoke, every decision he made affected the survival of countless people within the Holy Land and the Three Prefecture outside it.

A single misstep could be a sin great as the heavens.

Ever since he was pierced by an arrow years ago, he had been injured, and hence, the Holy Land suffered damage.

When he broke three of his ribs, three of the headmasters completely lost control.

Even though he had kept himself in check, never erring in major decisions, he couldn’t help but see that ever since the Holy Land had been damaged, the thoughts of others had become erratic, and their personal desires had grown.

With decisions made from above, there inevitably came deceit in carrying them out below.

"Walking on thin ice, cautious and afraid, now... I am finally liberated."

"Alas, I’ve yearned my entire life for the new laws, the methods to eradicate the hidden perils of treacherous nights. And now, before I die, I wasn’t able to see them for myself."

His eyes vacant, the old man unconsciously had tears on his face, which he gently wiped away and ridiculed himself with a smile, "So it turns out that even someone like me can shed tears when the end comes?"

With a solemn expression, he quickly straightened out his clothes, gathered his emotions, and bowed deeply in the direction of Qifeng Prefecture City.

"Saint Master! Blessing generations! Boundless merit!"

——

To the south of Qifeng Prefecture City.

In the treacherous night, the light is dim.

Only the raging sea tides roar, sounding like thousands of beasts galloping.

"The Saint Master’s deed is done," Li Shen Sect seemed to sense something, and let out a sigh.

And on his shoulder, there was a new addition, a white eagle that spoke human language, saying, "He has recovered, why the sigh?"

"He has recovered, but only to become extremely weak. The one who shot the Ancient God Arrow at him in the past, is about to devour him."

Li Shen Sect gripped the sword in hand and said softly, "The Saint Master is not a match, and neither am I... To the south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, no one among the people of this era can stand against them; no one can save the Saint Master."

He looked toward the horizon and said, "The only thing we can do is to block this wave of evils coming from the deep sea!"

"To buy time for the young man who perfected the new method to stabilize the situation?"

The white eagle scoffed, "The visions in the sky earlier granted him two Divine Inscriptions..."

Li Shen Sect was silent, his gaze fixed on the sea ahead.

"If it hadn’t been for his arrival, you would have been this era’s most remarkable Human Clan member. Even without the Divine Inscriptions, you could have received the Ancient Immortal’s Mana, extending your Dao for a hundred years."

"If it hadn’t been for his coming, the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction would not have appeared," Li Shen Sect spoke calmly, "I can only be considered the most outstanding person of the Three Prefecture in the last three to five hundred years... but he is the most outstanding person of this era from all corners of the world!"

The white eagle fell silent again before speaking once more.

"I heard you have a grudge against him?"

"No grudge," Li Shen Sect replied.

"Then it must be that you have no dealings with him either," the white eagle suddenly realized.

"..." Li Shen Sect fell silent again.

"Without any relations, or even some past conflicts, you are actually willing to use your Inner Realm Power for him?"

The white eagle clicked its tongue, "Really intriguing. You’ve always resisted using the Starry River inside you because every use, as a member of the Human Clan named Li Shen Sect, would dilute your essence, bringing you a step closer to death. And now... you are actually willing to risk your life for this person?"

Li Shen Sect remained silent for a moment before exhaling deeply.

"To establish a heart for the world, to live a life for the people, to continue the extinct teachings of previous saints, to open an era of peace for all..."

He gripped the sword in his hand and said gravely, "For just these four lines, my life as Li Shen Sect can be at his disposal."

The white eagle kept quiet for a while before suddenly scoffing, "What grandiose words! To think that someone so young dares to make such great vows; it’s like a mayfly shaking a tree!"

"But hasn’t everything he has done so far been in pursuit of this?"

Li Shen Sect laughed, "He might be a mayfly, and he is also just a common man, but today, this common man has become a teacher for all generations. Who knows, perhaps one day the mayfly will transform into a true dragon in the heavens?"

He took a deep breath and said, "The ancestors of the Human Clan have protected the descendants generation after generation... To this day, we are born here, and now it’s time for me to do my best."

He paused and then continued, "Bai Ying, your ancestors were disciples of ’Him’. One day, if I become ’Him’, remember to tell ’Him’ about Li Shen Sect’s stance towards the Human Clan today!"

Bai Ying did not speak, offering no reply.

"I don’t expect ’Him’ to protect the Human Clan, but I hope that ’Him’ does not become a great threat to the Human Clan."

Li Shen Sect’s voice faded.
