I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1255 - 661: The Source of Divine Skills

Yi Qian was born in the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm, but defied fate and refused to slumber.

In his eyes, a vague hope of the future was not as significant as himself becoming that hope.

Thus, he stepped out of the Upper Heaven.

After the fall of the Second Human Emperor, the world was in chaos for thousands of years.

Yet, with his cultivation that broke through the Nine Heavens, using the Old God's Magical Objects and all he learned, he nearly achieved the combat power of Breaking the Ultimate Heaven.

Relying on his skills and the foundation laid in the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm, he resisted the erosion from the Deceit Night, thus laying the groundwork for the founding of the Holy Alliance.

The first Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Alliance was his disciple.

To the Holy Alliance, he was akin to the Emperor's Master during the Human Emperor Era. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lin Yan, the Emperor's Master, guided the First Human Emperor and established a prosperous dynasty.

Similarly, Yi Qian also guided the first Alliance Hierarch, creating the situation for the Holy Alliance.

Everyone thought Yi Qian had disappeared into the past.

Unexpectedly, he actually comprehended Lin Yan's method of the ages, slumbering in the world.

"Has Yi Qian Great Saint broken through the Ultimate Heaven?"

"Not yet," Li Chengdao shook his head slightly and said, "His foundation was somewhat lacking."

"There will be a way."

Lin Yan said this calmly, "With my current status, even if the Alliance Hierarch anticipated my return, he wouldn't dare pull me into the fray without informing me... The one with such courage must be Yi Qian."

"This person indeed has audacity beyond measure."

Li Chengdao was silent for a moment and then said, "However, he is resolute, and for the Human Clan, he truly gave his all..."

"To be able to unite all the Holy Lands in a chaotic era to jointly sign a covenant, thus creating the current Holy Alliance, he indeed has such courage."

Lin Yan said, "Once I finish my affairs, before heading to the Netherworld, I shall grant him an opportunity..."

Li Chengdao's pupils contracted, revealing a peculiar color.

Yi Qian's cultivation had been determined while he was still in the Upper Heaven.

After entering the world and slumbering till now, over thousands of years, aside from refining various combat skills to perfection... his own cultivation was difficult to advance further.

The opportunity bestowed by the Saint Master must be a means to maintain immortality after breaking through the Ultimate Heaven, breaking the cycle curse.

He whispered, "With such abilities as yours, you must have already succeeded."

"Didn't you already know that before I entered the Netherworld I had broken through the Ultimate Heaven?"

Lin Yan laughed softly, looking at this white-haired old man, and stretched out his hand.

Li Chengdao knelt down and lowered his head slightly.

Lin Yan softly asked, "How did your father, Li Jiu, fare later?"

Li Chengdao took a deep breath and said, "He followed the First Human Emperor, took the Golden Ship of Crossing to climb to the heavens, shed blood across the firmament, rekindled the great sun."

"..."

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before sighing and saying, "When I first saw you, you were just a child, and now upon our reunion, you are an elder who has slumbered until now using the method of the ages."

"Yet the demeanor of the Emperor's Master remains the same."

Li Chengdao spoke softly.

"Li Chengdao, undertake the Great Path of the Human Clan."

Lin Yan, using 365,000 Evil Qi, condensed a Creation Seed and infused it into his crown, saying, "Go meditate in seclusion, break through the Ultimate Heaven, your physical body... can now bear the Dao Rhythm."

A single Creation Seed was sufficient to grant Li Chengdao's physical body and Primordial Spirit the qualification to bear Dao Rhythm.

Breaking through the Ultimate Heaven, when the physical body and Primordial Spirit cannot withstand the Dao Rhythm, they become damaged, and vitality drains away.

With the foundation of the Human Martial Saint, it can last at most sixty years.

But today, a single Creation Seed suffices to mend the flaws of the Leakless True Body and Primordial Spirit.

The cycle curse that looms when breaking through the Ultimate Heaven is thus broken.

"Thank you for the Emperor's Master's grace!"

Li Chengdao immediately bowed down.

Lin Yan nodded slightly, then said, "Inform me about the various changes in the Human Clan since my departure until the collapse of the Human Emperor Era..."

Li Chengdao dared not hide anything and quickly replied.

However, when the Human Emperor fell, he had already entered the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm with Shangguan Youqi.

He was not very clear about the demise of the Human Emperor Era.

He only knew from later records.

After the death of the First Human Emperor.

The Gods and Demons returned in force, and evil plagued the land.

Among the descendants of Shangguan Shang, there was more than one Shangguan Youqi.

Besides Shangguan Youqi, who was in the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm, the rest of the royal lineage perished in battle.

After Shangguan Shang's death, the Human Emperor Era barely lasted for three hundred years.

In those chaotic three hundred years, many elderly Human Clan experts fell one after another... Many sought self-preservation, abandoning the Human Clan, while many others lost control during the Deceitful Night Era and became Physical Body Evil.

The new generation of strong fighters did not rise.

Three hundred years of struggle couldn't change the collapse of the era.

But to the south of the Taixuan Divine Mountain, the Fire Seed of the Human Clan was preserved, and the legacy of civilization remained.

After an unknown number of years of chaos, the evil grew ever stronger.

Then, the Second Human Emperor emerged from nowhere, inheriting the foundation of the previous dynasty, establishing a new human royal dynasty, and exterminated the Divine Demon Clan.

The Second Human Emperor proclaimed himself the Kaiming Divine Emperor, and his reign lasted much longer than the First Human Emperor, said to be as long as a thousand years.

"I don't know much about how the Kaiming Dynasty perished."

Li Chengdao paused and said, "But Kunlun shows signs of emerging, and in recent years, it has sent many to interact with the outside world and requested the Eternal Mirror."

"But Kunlun's stance is that only with the Human Race Saint Master present, can they see hope for the Human Clan."

"If the Saint Master had fallen under the Heavenly Tribulation back then, Kunlun would seal itself once more."

"Once the Saint Master re-emerges, Kunlun will then step into the world."

He said this and softly added, "It seems the Saint Master should visit Kunlun."
