I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1223 - 646: Becoming Yin Tianzi

South of the Taixuan Divine Mountain.

The South Mountain Sacred Land governs the land of the Three Mansions.

But throughout history, Qifeng Prefecture City has always been the most prosperous.

According to the records of the Upper Heaven, this city was built during the time of the First Human Emperor, and even though in later times, natural and man-made disasters, as well as the chaos of evil, caused the city to be destroyed many times.

Each time, it was rebuilt anew.

Many times, the civilization of the Human Clan was rekindled and spread from here, truly a rebirth from the ashes.

And several days ago, a message was sent to all directions.

The high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance could not arrive in time, so Elder Shen Jiang of the South Mountain Sacred Land came to visit.

Elder Li Gui of the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm also came to Qifeng Prefecture City... If it weren’t for the incident at Taixuan Divine Mountain, it should have been the one-eyed Great Saint coming.

Now, the South Mountain Sacred Land is in a state of turmoil, people from all over are arriving at the city.

Lord Lu!

His real name is Lu Yue, from High Willow City, and was once the foremost of the Twelve Temple Priests of the Wutong Temple.

He is in his eighties, a venerable age.

But his greatest achievement in life.

Is being the guide of the Saint Master.

It is rumored that the initial path of the Saint Master’s Kaiyuan Creation God Skill was conceived and laid down thanks to Lord Lu’s painstaking efforts and sleepless nights, assisting the Saint Master to complete the introduction and lay the foundation.

The Saint Master is the Master of All Generations!

The Kaiyuan Creation God Skill is the Law of All Generations!

Lord Lu’s achievements will be renowned for eternity!

Now Lord Lu is gravely ill, all kinds of secret medicines are being rushed to Qifeng Prefecture City.

However, even the Wutong Divine Mother could not save him, it is beyond rescue.

At this moment, within the Great City Guard Mansion of Qifeng Prefecture City, senior figures of the Human Clan from all sides are gathered.

Representing the Holy Alliance is Shen Jiang, representing the Upper Heaven is Li Gui, representing the South Mountain Sacred Land is the Sixth Vein Master.

The current Great City Guard of Qifeng Prefecture City, Xu Dingye.

The Supreme Commander of the Qifeng Prefecture City Sky Observation Department.

The Deputy City Governors and Deputy Commanders from various cities are all gathered here.

Everyone is looking at Lu Changsheng above.

The Great Temple Priest of the Wutong Temple, Lord Lu’s true disciple.

The atmosphere is quite heavy.

Today’s discussion is about the arrangements for Lord Lu’s funeral after he breathes his last.

"My master’s closed-door disciple is the current Great Temple Priest of High Willow City, we should wait for him to arrive before continuing the discussion."

Lu Changsheng said this, his tone low and his gaze complex.

The people exchanged glances.

Among those present, about half knew the true identity of the current Great Temple Priest of High Willow City, Lin Lei.

The older brother of the Saint Master.

"High Willow City is quite far from here, once Lord Lu passes, his body cannot be preserved for long."

Xu Dingye paused and said, "The old one hails from the position of temple priest, the only one in the world to achieve the Primordial Spirit as a temple priest..."

Because he achieved the Primordial Spirit as a temple priest, it is different from the ordinary Refining God Realm.

Therefore, Lord Lu’s body is more fragile, already like dead wood, and once he passes, it will not last long.

Were he a normal Martial Artist in the Refining God Realm, Lord Lu might still have lived for ten more years.

"The Great Temple Priest was taught by Lord Lu, as close as father and son, and cannot accept it at once, but life, aging, illness, and death, are ultimately irreversible and unavoidable."

Shen Jiang sighed and said, "Lord Lu was the guide for the Saint Master, and throughout these years, the Saint Master’s name has been spread worldwide, destined to be passed down for eternity... Lord Lu’s funeral will be mourned by all under heaven and it must be recorded in the annals. We must be prudent, and not careless."

"Lord Lu’s intention is to keep everything simple, and not toil the people or waste resources."

At this moment, a man walked in from outside, tall and stout, with dark skin and a sorrowful expression.

The person who came in was Lv Tang.

He glanced over at everyone and said, "Ten years ago, the Saint Master suffered a calamity, with his fate unknown, and all plans for a funeral everywhere were suppressed... However, Lord Lu believed that his contribution to the Human Clan was far less than that of the Saint Master, and that he did not deserve a grand funeral! With the current weakness of the Human Clan, it should be kept simple and follow the traditional temple priest funeral, cremating his body, and dissipating the remaining aura of his Primordial Spirit, to be buried behind the temple."

——

Wutong Temple.

Lord Lu lay on the sickbed, turning his head to look at the sky outside the window.

"Serving the Divine Mother all my life, I am too weak to go to the main hall of the temple to offer incense to the Divine Mother before I pass, it is truly a regret." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He retracted his gaze and continued, "Today, the deadline of my life span has arrived, I must trouble the Saintess to offer incense in my stead in front of the hall, to inform the Divine Mother and seek her forgiveness."

"The Divine Mother is compassionate, she will not blame Lord Lu."

The Saintess said this, and then asked, "Does Lord Lu have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"Have Lin Lei and Xiaoyue arrived?"

Lord Lu’s voice was weak, as faint as a mosquito.

"Lin Lei and Lin Xiaoyue have been notified, but the journey is long, and they will find it hard to arrive soon."

The Saintess sighed again and said, "On the other hand, guests from various places have brought secret medicines and gathered at the City Guard Mansion to discuss the matter of the funeral."

"Secret medicine? This old man’s oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, unless the Heavenly Talisman guides me, allowing me to become an Immortal overnight, any great medicine is useless."

Lord Lu said this and continued, "As for the funeral, I have already instructed Lv Tang, to keep it simple, do not be extravagant or luxurious, follow the old precedent of temple priest funerals."

He looked up at the sky and said, "In the past ten years, the Human Clan seems to be developing and growing strong, but due to the New Technique, it has been divided into two major factions with the high-levels practicing the Old Law."

"Furthermore, All Gods are reviving, using Tribulation Ash to interfere with the Human Clan, avoiding the constraints of the old covenant."

"Moreover, the Celestial line has been hiding in the world."

"Additionally, some of the Old Gods, due to restrictions from the Old Law, have become more hostile towards the Human Clan, secretly nurturing evil."

"Over the past ten years, the situation of the Human Clan seems to be flourishing, yet internal fissures are larger, and external evils are stronger."

"In the future situation, the position of the Human Clan is uncertain to all."

Lord Lu sighed and said, "It’s a pity that this old man will no longer see the future, nor can I contribute to the Human Clan any longer."
