Chapter 763: Chapter 429 Heart of a Child! Ancestor of Heavenly Gate!_2

After which, three elders stepped out from behind him.

These three elders bore the marks of a blazing sun, a bright moon, and the stars.

"Those from the Heavenly Gate, who call themselves Celestials, are high above, looking down upon all beings, considering the Human Clan as mere ants."

The Master of the Holy Alliance said, "They are no different from the Upper People you know... yet they hide so deeply that to this day, even among the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance, I have not been able to ascertain if Celestials exist..."

He sighed and said, "All these years, I have been searching, trying to uncover the true nature of the Heavenly Gate."

"Your Highness has been abducted."

The Elder of the Blazing Sun said coldly.

"In this world, unless the Old Gods intervene, no one can easily take him away."

The Master of the Holy Alliance said, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Never mind that it was merely the projection of the Heavenly Star Dojo, even a true Holy Land couldn’t trap him! If he was taken, it can only prove that he intended to be taken..."

The Elder of the Moon Robe slightly shook his head and said, "Your Highness’s cultivation technique is the Taiqing Upper Purity Technique, retaining a heart of a child. He does not have such schemes..."

The Alliance Hierarch pondered, "But the Saint Master was with him."

The Elder of the Star Robe shook his head and said, "We just reviewed all the intelligence within the Holy Alliance concerning the Saint Master. Based on current information... the Saint Master is unmatched in talent and possesses excellent roots, able to excel in creating cultivation techniques and combat to the point of surpassing all of the current age! But when it comes to temperament, at the slightest disagreement he draws his sword, his evaluations from all sides describe him as a simple Martial Artist..."

"The Saint Master is not here; we don’t need to be too polite."

At this time, the Old Taoist who had bathed in dragon blood stepped out and said, "Judging by the intelligence alone, the Saint Master is a reckless man."

"But intelligence is inherently unreliable."

"For example, who would have guessed that the Lord of Heaven, who has existed for such a long time, would be someone whose temperament is pure, almost stupid... ahem, I mean with the heart of a child?"

The Old Taoist said solemnly, "Based on our true conjecture, at least in terms of the talent for killing, the Saint Master is also unmatched in this era! He has not drawn his sword to kill, so being taken by the Heavenly Gate must be a plot of sorts..."

"Although His Highness’s temperament is relatively pure, his abilities are unquestionable."

The Alliance Hierarch slowly said, "Moreover, the most formidable treasure in the history of Upper Heaven, now half is on him, even now I... might not survive under His Highness’s fierce bombardment!"

"..."

The three elders exchanged glances, finally choosing to believe in His Highness’s abilities.

Then, the Elder of the Star Robe said deeply, "Is the so-called Heavenly Gate worth having His Highness and that Saint Master risk their bodies?"

"..."

The Master of the Holy Alliance hesitated before continuing, "The birth of the Heavenly Gate, on the surface, seems to be due to the changes of the times, where some self-assured individuals of the Human Clan, with arrogance, abandoned the Human Clan, gathered the strong, and established the Heavenly Gate."

"But I suspect the source of the Heavenly Gate lies in the lineage of the Upper People in the past that did not perish cleanly, who have been secretly plotting, leaving behind their legacy."

"After the fall of the Ancient Dragon Ancestor, a strong figure from the Heavenly Gate obtained its essence and eventually became a being that broke the Ultimate Heaven."

"But that supreme figure from the Heavenly Gate did not choose to restrain his Qi Mechanism and take his time in prolonging his life, but instead displayed great power, exerting pressure on the newly born Holy Alliance with all his might."

"But before the Holy Alliance could collapse, he was already dead... dead in the seventh year after breaking the Ultimate Heaven."

"Yet a legacy left behind by a being who broke the Ultimate Heaven made the Heavenly Gate a considerable threat within the Holy Alliance."

"Since I succeeded as the Alliance Hierarch, the Heavenly Gate has hidden even deeper, likely suspecting that I hail from Upper Heaven."

The Master of the Holy Alliance said thus with a sigh, "And the Holy Alliance cannot always proclaim the threat of the Heavenly Gate, so up to this day, most middle-level Martial Artists of the Human Clan may not know the power of the Heavenly Gate."

The Old Taoist, hearing this, looked at the three elders and couldn’t help but sigh.

"According to my estimates, the foundation of the Heavenly Gate may not be weaker than the Holy Alliance."

The Old Taoist said in a low voice, "After all, their legacy extends even further back than the Holy Alliance!"

"Although the Holy Alliance appears as a colossal entity, when divided, it comprises over a hundred Holy Lands, each occupying a domain, reigning as rulers."

"Nowadays, Heavenly Destiny City, as the central city of the Holy Alliance’s headquarters, its accumulated foundation is not necessarily more profound than the Heavenly Gate."

As the Old Taoist spoke.

The three elders of Upper Heaven exchanged a look.

The Elder of the Blazing Sun said deeply, "You once bathed in the blood of the Ancient Dragon Ancestor and survived till today... why is it that others broke the Ultimate Heaven in their time, and your cultivation is still inferior to ours?"

"..."

The Old Taoist’s face turned extremely unsightly.

The next moment, the old Taoist flicked his sleeves and left, cursing, "If you can’t speak well, then don’t speak. Why bring up sore subjects like this? How do you call this conversation?"

"The Old Taoist’s Inner Realm Divine Domain is named the River Map and Luo Book... modeled after the ’Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Land’, originating from the Ancient Dragon Turtle!"

The Master of the Holy Alliance sighed, saying, "When he bathed in dragon blood, he carried it with his flesh body, allowing him longevity... but being too greedy, after his flesh body reached its limit, he absorbed more dragon blood to supplement the lack of dragon blood in the Inner Realm Divine Domain."

"This led to the subconscious birth of an awareness of the Ancient Dragon Turtle in the Inner Realm Divine Domain, contending with him for the flesh body."

"For so many years, he has been limited to the Creation Peak level, unable to achieve Sanctum Ascension."

"Of course, the outside world also says he is a Human Martial Saint, for having accumulated longevity over time, he indeed possesses the ability to break the Three Heavens."

"And in the field of divination and calculation, he surpasses the current ’Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master’ by half a measure!"

"However, longevity is ultimately limited."

The Master of the Holy Alliance sighed, "He will likely die before me."

The three elders exchanged a look and remained silent.

——

The Heavenly Gate’s lair does not have a fixed location.

When a Human Martial Saint who broke the Ultimate Heaven died, he left behind a relic of his flesh, refining it into an incense Golden Body.

Where this Golden Body is located is the location of the Heavenly Gate’s nest.

Wherever the Golden Body is, evil spirits will certainly retreat.

This incense Golden Body no longer possesses the Human Clan’s should-be abundant life force and strong Qi-Blood, thus cannot be considered a Great Medicine.

To evil spirits, not only does it not pose a huge temptation, but it is a huge threat.

Even the Ancestor Blood Sky Demon and Sanctum Ascension evil spirits do not dare to face this Heavenly Gate ancestor head-on!

And the repeated sieges by the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance have never succeeded.

Only because the Heavenly Gate’s lair can relocate at will, unlike a Holy Land, fixed to one local realm, unable to move.

Meanwhile.

Within the Heavenly Gate.

More than a hundred people stood with their swords.

Among them, there were both men and women, with youthful faces and ages roughly in their teens.

And in front of them stood a middle-aged man, hands clasped behind his back, looking down upon them.

"You have lived within the Heavenly Gate for ten odd years, nurtured by my Heavenly Gate, but alas, you all are mere common folk, unable to become formidable, unworthy of becoming Celestials."

This middle-aged man said blandly, "Among you, the three most outstanding have already been cultivated as future Celestials and have entered the ranks of the Sect Leader’s true disciples."

"The rest, unable to become formidable, have only three choices."

"Either... die here directly!"

"Or, leave the Heavenly Gate, enter the Holy Alliance, and if you can cultivate to the Refining God Realm in the future and achieve merits, you may be admitted back by my Heavenly Gate."

"Or wait until the end of the year, gather sufficient numbers, and participate in the Ten Thousand Gu Formation, where the last one standing will be a Celestial!"

He looked at the crowd and slowly said, "Weak ants will all eventually die. Only the strongest survivor is qualified to become a Celestial!"
