Chapter 704: Chapter 406 Heavenly Gate! Human Demon!

"..."

Lin Yan’s expression remained placid as he glanced at the severed head of a young girl discarded in the distance.

His gaze shifted to the old man standing before him, yet he said nothing.

The Little White Ape perched on Lin Yan’s shoulder shivered involuntarily.

It knew its master was enraged.

Yet its master seldom appeared so calm in his fury.

The Little White Ape couldn’t help but take a long, hard look at the white-robed elder before them.

Beneath its master’s calm exterior lay turbulent undercurrents, poised to erupt into waves and storms of devastation.

And this old fool clearly had no idea what he was about to face.

"Saint Master?"

Yu Chenzi stepped half a pace forward, holding something in his hand, and said calmly, "With your current cultivation, you are no longer an ordinary mortal. Joining my sect would be returning home!"

"Returning home?"

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke with deliberate slowness, "You come to invite me to your sect, yet you do not even reveal the name of your sect? How laughable."

Yu Chenzi chuckled heartily, stroking his beard, and said, "We of our kind have long transcended the realm of ordinary mortals. In the eyes of the common man, we appear as Immortal Gods, Celestials walking the earth!"

He stepped closer again, this time more seriously, stating, "There is an old tale—the fish leaps through the dragon gate and becomes a True Dragon... Join my Heavenly Gate, and you too shall be a Celestial!"

Lin Yan glanced at the girl’s head not far away, its skull split open and her brain matter sucked dry. He spoke slowly, "And the common people?"

"The common people are naught but ants!"

Yu Chenzi asserted gravely, "Once a fish leaps the dragon gate, becoming a True Dragon, would it consider the fish and shrimp of the rivers its kin? For us Celestials, can mere ants among the Human Clan ever be deemed the same kind?"

He stroked his beard, adding, "Saint Master is a rare talent of this era. Join my Heavenly Gate, pass on the New Technique, and strengthen the Celestial Clan!"

"And where is this Heavenly Gate located?"

"The Heavenly Gate exists everywhere and nowhere."

"If I am to join your Heavenly Gate, surely I must have a place to pass on the New Technique?"

"You may pass on the New Technique to me!" Yu Chenzi replied warmly, "The accomplishments of the Saint Master will be heralded across the world, known to every Celestial far and wide!"

"So, you are merely here for the New Technique, without even intending to bring me to the Heavenly Gate?" Lin Yan sighed and spoke thusly.

"Joining the Heavenly Gate is hardly a trivial matter."

Yu Chenzi smiled and said, "The outside world speaks fondly of how Saint Master cares deeply for all living beings, valuing the impotent little ants of the Human Clan."

"The Sect Leader has declared that should Saint Master serve the Heavenly Gate, achieve great merits, and sever ties with those ant-like humans, he would be named the Vice Sect Leader of our Heavenly Gate!"

"Just ahead lies the so-called Mountain Lord Ridge; below it dwell over a thousand people. Should Saint Master personally slaughter them all..."

"The Sect Leader himself will come to escort you!"

As Yu Chenzi’s voice fell.

Lin Yan gave a faint nod and slowly replied, "Since you are so sincere in your invitation, I shall first pass onto you a saber technique."

"..."

Yu Chenzi froze briefly, not expecting the Saint Master to be so accommodating. He replied with a smile, "Thank you, Saint Master!"

"No need for thanks."

Lin Yan suddenly unsheathed his blade.

The saber flashed in an instant!

Netherworld Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

In mere moments, the corpse split into two halves!

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

Lin Yan’s eyes sharpened slightly.

No Evil Qi gains.

It was not the true body!

"Saint Master, it seems your concern remains fixed upon these ants of the world, your gaze confined to a mere pond."

Yu Chenzi’s voice emanated from the corpse, saying faintly, "You must broaden your vision to behold the vast ocean!"

"We, though born of the Human Clan, have long ascended above it, transcending its bounds."

"Since we leapt through the dragon gate, soaring into the Nine Heavens and traversing the great sea, how could we ever align ourselves with the fish and shrimp in the pond?"

"The Saint Master fails to truly see himself, fails to see this world, and fails to see those ants among the Human Clan who are no longer fit to be called kin!"

"Still, perhaps I was too hasty; I reached out before the Saint Master could grasp the truth of this world."

His voice, steeped in depths, concluded softly, "Since the Saint Master remains unawakened, I shall await the day your eyes open, your insight deepens, and then I will come to invite you once more!"

"Six hundred miles southwest!"

Just then, the Little White Ape spoke suddenly.

Its golden eyes gleamed brightly, piercing through the source of the voice.

This was a manifestation of its Bloodline Divine Power.

It had once aided Lin Yan in High Willow City, searching for Evil Spirits.

Yet Lin Yan’s cultivation had advanced swiftly, his perceptive ability nearly transcending the range of the Little White Ape’s golden eyes, rendering this ability rarely employed.

Nonetheless, under Lin Yan’s cultivation and nurturing, the Little White Ape had grown into a Great Demon. Though it had not yet surpassed its tier, its Bloodline Divine Power had evolved to remarkable heights.

At the moment its words fell, a phantom lotus formed beneath Lin Yan’s feet.

The bud emerged, blossomed swiftly, and then dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yan was gone.

"..."

The Cloud Stepping Colt looked around.

The Saint Master was gone.

The Little White Ape was gone too.

Leaving only the colt standing there, forlorn and alone.

"Where are they?"

A voice emerged from the two halves of the corpse.

The Cloud Stepping Colt lowered its head, peering into the decayed viscera and the blood-reeking remains, within which a faint light shimmered.

In the next instant, the Cloud Stepping Colt understood, speaking aloud, "The true body concealed afar, finding a corporeal vessel to enlighten as an avatar, sharing the same Qi Mechanism as the true body, enabling its journey in the mortal realm!"

"Bai Long traverses the stream, enlightening the people!"

"You are the former City Lord of Great River City!"

"The very person who consumed seventeen thousand members of the Human Clan overnight to perfect the Inner Realm Divine Domain, fleeing to the forbidden zone to become... a human demon!"

——

Six hundred miles southwest.

The white-robed elder slowly rose.

Beside him lay twelve corpses, all of them young maidens.

But their heads had been cracked open, and their bone marrow and blood drained completely.

He gazed ahead, his brows furrowing, muttering, "It seems I underestimated this Saint Master..."

To think he could pinpoint the location of my true body!
