Chapter 692: Chapter 402: Born in Upper Heaven! Elixir of Immortality!

Throughout the Holy Alliance’s one hundred Sacred Lands, the Shangri Sacred Land has seen four leaders ascend to become Masters of the Holy Alliance over the generations.

This speaks to the profound foundation of this Sacred Land, surpassing the others by a significant margin.

"South of the Taixuan Divine Mountain lies the birthplace of the Saint Masters. As for the Landscaping Techniques, I, the Prince, am not particularly familiar,"

Prince Zhen Nan remarked, "However, within the Holy Alliance, every Landscaping Technique can trace its origins to the Sacred Lands."

What is referred to as "originating from the Sacred Lands" does not imply ancient Magic Methods or texts left by the ancestors of the Sacred Lands.

Rather, it alludes to the Inner Realm Divine Domain, which in essence is a replication of the Sacred Land’s landscapes.

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

In the South Mountain Sacred Land, ancestors of the Human Clan have long considered the various Sacred Lands to be the dojos left behind by the Ancient Immortals and Gods.

And on this point, even the Old Gods who sheltered the Human Clan, such as the Wutong Divine Mother... did not deny it!

The Landscaping Techniques of the Human Clan were indeed derived from the Magic Methods used by Immortals and Gods to expand their dojos and were further used to replicate "Immortal God Arenas."

Since these are replications of the Immortal God Arenas, it is imperative to have a complete understanding of every structure within them!

For instance, Lin Yan’s current Netherworld Internal View entirely relied upon the red-robed maiden who delved into the Netherworld itself, utilizing golden pages to reveal the entire construct of the Netherworld.

"In the South Mountain Sacred Land, the Landscaping Techniques are classified as one of the highest secrets. Only those at the peak of the Refining God Realm who have achieved great merit may have a Chapter of these techniques imprinted via the Saint Master expending their Primordial Spirit..."

Lin Yan mused to himself, "Thinking back now, that Landscaping Technique was actually the detailed construct of the South Mountain Sacred Land itself, which is why it cannot be easily disseminated..."

The ancient medicine gatherer clearly had an intimate knowledge of the South Mountain Sacred Land’s construction.

Back then, a single Divine Arrow accurately pierced through the Sacred Land, impaling the Saint Master.

Later, the gatherer personally stepped into the South Mountain Sacred Land and consumed the Saint Master’s Primordial Spirit... along with the Dao Rhythm within it.

"The Inner Realm Divine Domain created using the Shangri Sacred Land as its foundation is what is known as Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun."

Prince Zhen Nan pondered aloud, "It is said that the first-generation Saint Master of the Human Clan from the Shangri Sacred Land, when inheriting this Sacred Land, discovered a trace of an ancient Divine Thought still lingering within it."

"The first-generation Saint Master gleaned insights from the remaining Divine Thought, piecing together fragmented images and speculating on the Sacred Land’s origins."

"Legend has it that before the arrival of Deceit Night, a certain ancient god foresaw the calamities that were to come."

"He exhausted all treasures accumulated over countless aeons, forging two colossal mountains."

"Shouldering these two mountains, He sought to restrain the blazing sun of the heavens before the descent of Deceit Night, preventing its retreat and ensuring its perpetual suspension in the firmament to banish the evil spirits."

"However, He failed. In the end, drained of strength, He perished, leaving behind His dojo, which is now the current Shangri Sacred Land."

"Nevertheless, this legend originates from the ancestors of the Shangri Sacred Land, and how much of it is true remains difficult to discern."

After a brief pause, Prince Zhen Nan continued, "Especially after the fall of the Three Great Sacred Lands in the Demon Domain, there was a period of pervasive panic."

"Since then, many Sacred Lands, Blessed Lands, and even vast Pure Lands have begun spreading various old legends, blurring the line between truth and falsehood... This has given a considerable number of people a sense of solace, believing themselves sheltered by the legacies of ancient Divine Spirits."

"However, the tales from the Shangri Sacred Land had already been circulating before the fall of the Demon Domain, making it highly probable that they are true."

"..."

As Prince Zhen Nan’s voice trailed off, Lin Yan nodded slightly with a contemplative look.

The one who no longer regarded themselves as part of the Human Clan, Li Shen Sect, was very likely the reincarnation of an Immortal God.

And even He regarded the Inner Realm Divine Domain of Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun with high esteem.

This ancient tale, while perhaps embellished, was likely grounded in truth.

"Regarding this Inner Realm..."

Prince Zhen Nan further elaborated on some of the extraordinary aspects of Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun.

As one of the most renowned Inner Realm Divine Domains within the Holy Alliance’s territory, it was celebrated widely, and the information he shared was far from secretive.

The true secrets, which touched on the foundations of cultivation and their core essences, would never be fully disclosed.

"Hmm..."

Lin Yan nodded faintly.

He understood that Prince Zhen Nan was using these discussions to foster a closer connection between the two of them.

As they conversed along the way, their interactions became relatively cordial.

As they neared the Southern King City, they encountered tens of thousands of troops returning with Prince Zhen Nan from their incursion into the Demon Domain.

These tens of thousands of troops, restored to vigor with the aid of Divine Pills, marched in formation on their way back to the Royal City.

The truly powerful demons could sense the might of the army’s formation and dared not obstruct their path.

Lesser demons were no match at all.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

As Prince Zhen Nan descended from the heavens, the assembled soldiers instantly lined up and saluted.

Many of their gazes, however, fell upon the young man standing beside Prince Zhen Nan.

These soldiers were unaware of the true motives behind the incursion into the Demon Domain.

Nor did they know about the matter concerning welcoming the Saint Master.

They only noticed that in the presence of this youth, the usually solemn and austere prince seemed to show a rare hint of warmth, leaving the soldiers both shocked and curious.

Lin Yan cast a glance at them, nodding slightly, and said, "Orders are disciplined, formations are precise. Your Highness rules the army with remarkable skill."

"Our South Mountain Sacred Land, standing resolute with Taixuan Divine Mountain, holds back the Demon Domain."

"This land offers no natural defenses, yet Your Highness guards it without flaw, barring all evil from crossing the boundary. Truly admirable."

Given Prince Zhen Nan’s earlier patience in addressing his questions about Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun as well as the Shangri Sacred Land, Lin Yan now offered some public praise in return before the tens of thousands of troops.

A gesture of reciprocation, this earned visible delight from Prince Zhen Nan.

"Return to the city!"

With a sweeping gesture, Prince Zhen Nan led his soldiers back towards the Royal City.
