Chapter 723: Chapter 413: Human Martial Saint! Incense Golden Body!

Holy Alliance, Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, Fire Cloud Prefecture, Holy Dew City.

Six hundred years ago, from the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, there emerged a peerless prodigy. Before he even reached the age of sixty, he had already cultivated the Inner Realm Divine Domain.

This man was the true disciple of that generation’s Saint Master.

Everyone believed that he was destined to become the next Heavenly Furnace Saint Master.

However, in the twilight years of the current Saint Master, he unexpectedly rejected the qualification to unite with the Sacred Land.

The position of Saint Master symbolized the pinnacle of power in the present age and represented the highest seat within the Holy Alliance.

No one could understand why he chose to renounce the title of Saint Master.

Some believed he had gone mad.

Others speculated that he wasn’t truly favored by the old Saint Master and was merely a decoy, meant to attract attention and absorb all the assassination attempts by external enemies, all while the new Saint Master rose to prominence.

There were also those who thought the new Heavenly Furnace Saint Master had contested the position with him, ultimately prevailing and banishing him from the Sacred Land.

Rumors swirled, spreading like wildfire.

This God Lord then vanished from the mortal world.

Many presumed that he must have already died by then.

But ten years later, he reappeared, having ascended to the rank of the Human Martial Saint.

For the next three years, as a Human Martial Saint, he roamed the lands, vanquishing evils and slaying over ten Evil Demon Kings that surpassed their tiers, establishing unparalleled achievements. He was granted the title of Elder of the Holy Alliance by the Alliance Hierarch at the time, placing him on par with the masters of the Sacred Lands.

It wasn’t until that moment that people finally realized the reason he declined the position of Saint Master—he had no need to bind himself to the Immortal God Arena. His own abilities were already equivalent to that of a Saint Master!

As an Elder of the Holy Alliance, this Human Martial Saint was not beholden to the control of the Sacred Lands. He came and went as he pleased, taking on the responsibility of patrolling the territories of the Holy Alliance!

He loathed evil with a fiery passion. Whether it was Celestials, Divine Servants, evil creatures, or deceitful objects—anything or anyone that stirred chaos was eradicated without exception. Thus, he came to be known as the True Master of Demon Suppression!

Lin Yan sat in quiet contemplation, listening to the Cloud Stepping Colt recount this tale, his expression solemn.

Amidst the bustling streets, the Cloud Stepping Colt advanced slowly, continuing its narration.

"During his lifetime, the True Master of Demon Suppression excelled in a multitude of skills, but he was particularly proficient in three areas."

"First was swordsmanship, which approached the divine, enabling him to slay demons and suppress evils."

"Second was mystical arts; he could ignite Heavenly Fire to incinerate the Eight Directions."

"Third was the Alchemy Dao; his expertise in alchemy was second only to that of the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master."

"He, the elder, having attained the title of Human Martial Saint, should have naturally enjoyed a prolonged life span. With proper care, alchemy, and medication, it wouldn’t have been impossible for him to still be alive today."

"Unfortunately, in his prime, he became overly consumed by slaughter. His temper grew volatile, showing faint signs of losing control."

At this point, the Cloud Stepping Colt sighed deeply and added, "But to prevent himself from becoming a calamity for the Human Clan, he took the initiative to report to the Holy Alliance, resigned from his position as Elder, returned to the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land, and severed his own lifeline, passing away with a smile."

"The Martial Saint’s ancestral relic remains undying even after a thousand years, its awe-inspiring presence enduring and capable of deterring evils during the Deceitful Night."

"Thus, the previous Heavenly Furnace Saint Master placed the relic of the True Master of Demon Suppression here and built a city around the remains of the Martial Saint."

The Cloud Stepping Colt spoke, saying, "The Alliance Hierarch personally named this city—Holy Dew City, signifying the blessings of the Martial Saint’s legacy, protecting future generations."

Lin Yan, hearing this, pondered deeply and asked, "So the temple within this city enshrines the relic of the True Master of Demon Suppression?"

"Exactly. Over countless years, time erodes all and dims all life. Even the remains of a Human Martial Saint will gradually lose their power. The only way to maintain it is through the power of incense."

The Cloud Stepping Colt explained further, "During his lifetime, the True Master of Demon Suppression honed his body through elixirs and secret techniques. After his death, his remains transformed into a Golden Body sustained by incense, thus becoming a Guardian God for this region!"

The Little White Ape, mulling over this, then asked, "Though as a relic, its presence is formidable, it can only repel ordinary evils. Should creatures like those of awakened Spiritual Wisdom or those with considerable cultivation levels appear, wouldn’t it be unable to suppress them?"

Pausing briefly, the Little White Ape continued, "And if a Heavenly Demon of Ancestor Blood Ascension or a sanctified Evil Spirit appeared, wouldn’t the city risk destruction?"

"That’s why the strategic location of Holy Dew City is of utmost importance."

The Cloud Stepping Colt explained, "From here, six hundred miles to the east and nine hundred miles to the west are cities established surrounding the Ancient Old Gods."

"To the north, a thousand miles away, lies the domain of the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land."

"To the south is the territory governed by Southern King City."

"Relatively speaking, this area is centrally located and relatively safe. However, in the past, there were only a few small to mid-sized Pure Lands—too sparse and remote."

"But with the Martial Saint’s relic rooted here and the establishment of the city, Holy Dew City became a hub connecting all surrounding cities, Sacred Lands, Blessed Lands, and large Pure Lands..."

"This once desolate area transformed into treasure, becoming the most prosperous city under the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land!"

"Moreover, since no ’Divine Servants’ have emerged within this city, its order is relatively stable."

Concluding his account, the Cloud Stepping Colt continued, "High-ranking figures from the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land and Inspection Envoys from the Demon Suppression Department closely monitor this area. Should any powerful evil entity capable of threatening Holy Dew City appear, Human Clan experts will intervene!"

"If all goes well, the usual course is to eliminate them outright."

"In rare cases, contracts are signed, turning such beings into entities like the Mountain Lords, who protect the local populace."

"And in some instances, where unforeseen circumstances arise, if they cannot be killed or contracted, they are forcibly exiled."

The Cloud Stepping Colt finished his explanation.

The Little White Ape couldn’t help but ask, "You, a warhorse from Southern King City, how do you know so much about the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land?"

The Cloud Stepping Colt chuckled lightly and replied, "Because the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land is an important source of elixirs."
