I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 537 - 337: Preparation to Kill the Human Clan’s Saint Master!

Chapter 537: Chapter 337: Preparation to Kill the Human Clan’s Saint Master!

Lin Yan learned from Duke Murky Spirit that this world’s Blessed Lands, Holy Lands, and even Forbidden Lands were mostly dojos left by ancient immortal gods.

For example, Lord Qingling, who fused with a Blessed Land and ascended in one step.

In the long run, it doomed his cultivation and he lost any hope of breaking through to a higher level!

But in reality, based on current historical records, among the Human Clan’s myriad of powerhouses from past generations, none have broken through to a higher level either.

Without external assistance, without merging with a dojo, relying solely on one’s own cultivation, those who could ultimately stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Qingling at his peak are indeed few and far between over the span of tens of thousands of years.

The strength of the Three Great Saint Masters is probably not weaker than Lord Qingling’s!

Moreover, the foundation of a Holy Land is typically higher than that of a Blessed Land, granting them higher potential than Lord Qingling.

"The dojos of ancient immortal gods are complete and steadfast, enduring the erosion of time without perishing."

"In today’s world, the Inner Realm Divine Domains created by those who can create landscapes still fall short when compared to the dojos of the immortal gods."

"Therefore, Lord Qingling, who fused with a Blessed Land, is indeed far superior to the landscape creators in the world, and after completely refining the Blessed Land, he was hailed as a ’New God’!"

Lin Yan stepped outside the grand hall of the Temple, feeling slightly heavy-hearted.

The Three Great Saint Masters are all top-notch powerhouses of this era, and at the very least, their abilities are stronger than those of the "God Lords" who have a Peak Primordial Spirit and can create landscapes!

These beings, because they explored the former residence of the Ancient God King, somehow learned some secret and all perished on the same day.

As a result, the Three Prefecture was completely overrun and occupied by evil creatures, becoming a domain of demons.

Liu Venerate clearly knew the secret and also the roots of that Ancient God King.

But he couldn’t tell him!

It’s not that he was unwilling, but he was unable to!

Whether the ominous calamity that it could bring would threaten an existence at Liu Venerate’s level was not yet clear.

But what was certain was that if by misfortune the calamity was brought about, Lin Yan of today could not withstand it, and High Willow City would inevitably be destroyed!

"..." The Great Temple Priest stood by his side, hesitant to speak.

"I understand," Lin Yan nodded and said, "I will not rashly explore this ancient being without full confidence!"

"That’s good, after all, you are the Human Clan’s Saint Master, a symbol of the new law, and your existence... is a battle flag on the Human Clan’s path of cultivation, inspiring people and nourishing the great momentum," the Great Temple Priest said solemnly, "In all things, cherish your life!"

Lin Yan responded with a complicated look in his eyes.

For the common people of the world, as long as one breaks through the peak of their Inner Realm and surpasses the human body’s limits, one is a strong person of the Human Clan who can stand against evil, a true figure of importance!

Yet, above the Refining Essence Realm, there is still the Qi Refining Realm, the Refining God Realm, and even the existence capable of creating an Inner Realm Divine Domain.

And the Old Gods of the Ancient Era must also have divisions of strength and weakness.

For instance, Wutong Divine Mother of Qifeng Prefecture City is superior to Liu Shen.

The successive Saint Masters of South Mountain Sacred Land even believe that within the scope of the Three Prefectures, Wutong Divine Mother is currently the most powerful of all the Old Gods that have appeared in the world!

But now, it seems that the rank of the Ancient God King is even above the Divine Mother’s.

Even Liu Venerate doesn’t dare to speak of him lightly, avoiding the subject as if it were taboo.

This Ancient God King has become a forbidden subject, an existence that cannot be mentioned!

From this, it can be inferred that his underlings, the evil gods, might also be much stronger than Lin Yan had anticipated!

"Just now, when leaving the grand hall, Liu Venerate gave me a special reminder," the Great Temple Priest said, taking a deep breath.

"Even if you were to place this evil god among the Old Gods of the Ancient Era, it would belong to the upper echelons, not to be underestimated. Having the confidence to face an enemy is good, but too much confidence is arrogance!"

Lin Yan nodded, looked towards the hall, and gave a respectful greeting, "Thank you for the teachings of Liu Venerate."

After that, he stepped out of the hall and, along with the temple priests and the guard army leaders, admired the Temple once more.

There were workshops where incense was being made, side halls for managing incense offerings, gardeners planting willow trees, workshops for crafting incense tools, and making willow branch Night Lamps...

He also saw new soldiers in training and incense burners perceiving the Temple’s spells.

Arriving at the back of the Temple, he personally paid tribute to the ancestors of the Human Clan who had died defending the city.

Among them was the spiritual tablet of the former Great Commander Zhao Zhou at the southern outer city gate defenses.

This elder spent his life serving the Human Clan, struggling at the most perilous city defenses for a lifetime.

Beneath the slaughterhouse, he saved Lin Yan’s life.

Lin Yan stood before the spiritual tablet, closing his eyes slightly, silent for a long while.

The Great Temple Priest sighed and said, "In this life, regardless of wealth or poverty, strength or weakness, good or evil, whether one’s life is mundane or glorious, whether one is a talent of dazzling brilliance or an ordinary person, in the end, we all return to the same dust."

He personally lit incense for the Great Commander Zhao Zhou, saying, "But before dying, looking back on life, having no regrets and a peaceful heart, that is enough to die without remorse!"

"The last great deed of this Great Commander’s life was to save the life of you, the Saint Master, enabling the birth of the new law for future generations."

"Back then, he knew you had outstanding talent and hoped that you would support the sky for the Human Clan in the future. He didn’t hesitate to use his life to protect you completely, dying without regrets."

"If he knew of your achievements today, the impact on future generations, his life would have been without regrets."

"As for me..."

He turned his head, looked at Lin Yan, and smiled, "Actually, I myself have no great kindness towards you to speak of, but as the Great Temple Priest, bearing the will of Liu Venerate, weighing on the thoughts of Liu Shen, for the continuation of High Willow City, I’ve exhausted all my efforts."

"As the Human Clan’s Saint Master, your birth and growth in High Willow City are proof enough that, whatever faults I may have, my contributions to High Willow City, and indeed the entire Human Clan, are significant."
