Chapter 789: Is this a Test, or is it Imparting Knowledge? (II)

As he did that, Shu Yongxiao asked him questions several times and Long Haochen answered them one by one. He had only just learned that while these seniors had been slumbering here, they still knew a little about the major matters that had happened in the past six thousand years on the Shengmo Dalu, because a temple head of the Knight Temple would come here with the sacred mountain insignia once every few decades to bring them news.

“Good. What a good Temple Union. It’s finally succeeded. Unfortunately, we can’t leave here so easily, or I would have gone and made trouble for those kiddos a long time ago. For the sake of their own interests, they’ve ignored strengthening the alliance. At least they haven’t come to this realisation too late.” Shu Yongxiao actually supported the founding of the new union very much. From what she said, it seemed like she already had mentioned something similar to this when Yang Haohan visited thirty years earlier.

At this moment, an old man arrived beside Shu Yongxiao. He asked Long Haochen, “Child, you said earlier that the Knight Temple has gathered all six divine knights now?”

Long Haochen nodded now, “Yes, the Knight Temple is now filled with talent. We should be in our strongest state right now. Including me, the six divine thrones all have their masters.”

“Good, that’s fantastic.” The old man was clearly rather emotional, “In the past, when I decided to gather the strength of humanity to create the five divine thrones, I once swore an oath, that when humanity is in control of all six divine thrones, it will be the best time for us to fight back against the demons. Looks like the heavens hasn’t forsaken us! Just when our soulfires are about to disperse, you’ve brought us this good news, allowing us to witness the final moment when humanity fights back. Our six thousand years of slumber, our six thousand years of waiting underground has all be worth it.”

Shu Yongxiao introduced this person to Long Haochen, “This is Xiao Huo, old man Xiao. When the alliance was first founded, he was the first temple head of the Knights’ Temple. It was also him who held his ground and persuaded everyone to create the five divine thrones. You can say he’s the real ancestor of your Knight Temple. Old man Xiao is far-sighted. Many of his decisions were proven to be correct later on.”

Long Haochen performed a salute in a hurry, “Greetings, ancestor.”

Xiao Huo said seriously, “Child, I want to hear the history of your growth. In the past, I had personally witnessed the might of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and I had personally witnessed its descent into the human world. I had said in the past that with the existence of this supra divine tool, it means that the heavens hasn’t abandoned us humans. However, I never understood just what kind of powerhouse could receive its recognition. I even believed that its existence was more symbolic than anything. I never thought that there would finally be a day when a knight truly becomes its master. I’m very curious about the history of your growth and I’m very curious about how the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation accepted you as its master.”

Even until now, Long Haochen had not mentioned the matter of asking the Eternal Heroes to leave and fight. These people were all the true heroes of humanity, as well as the ancestors of the six great temples. Before he had come here, Yang Haohan had said that he had to gain their recognittion before mentioning any request. They had already slumbered here for six thousand years, so no one knew how they would react if they were asked to emerge from here. At the same time, they could react very emotionally, or even be unreasonable.

Long Haochen could tell from what Yang Haohan had told him that a past temple head of the Knights’ Temple must had suffered under these Eternal Heroes before. Yang Haohan did mention exactly what had happened, but Long Haochen had always treated these seniors cautiously. However, even until now, he did not find anything strange about these Eternal Heroes.

Actually, he was unaware that his attitude played a great role in all of it. He was different from the previous temple heads who had come here. As divine knights to be in possession of the sacred mountain insignia, as the greatest divine knights of the Knight Temple, these temple heads would be in their fifties or sixties at the very least.

And, as they grew in power, their authority would grow accordingly. They would naturally develop a mentality and attitude of someone in power. After coming here, they would feel some repulsion when these Eternal Heroes would refer to them as a child and even rebuke them rudely sometimes. No matter how polite they were, they were nowhere as polite as Long Haochen earlier.

Long Haochen was different. He was young in the first place, only in his twenties. Although he was in control of the Temple Union, he did not have any particular desire for authority, nor had he actively order people around a lot. Coupled with his admiration from the bottom of his heart for these Eternal Heroes, it was possible to say that he was far more sincere than all the temple heads who had come here in the past. Obviously, the Eternal Heroes would gain a great impression of him.

“Yes.” After answering politely, Long Haochen began to narrate his growth. He went into great detail, explaining how his father taught him when he was young, and then how his strength increased bit by bit and became a demon hunter, leading the Bright Glimmer of Hope into accumulating merit. He also went into detail about how his strength broke through under fortuitous circumstances. He did not even hide the secret of the Tower of Eternity. He mentioned it all.

When he mentioned how he died in battle and Cai’er had taken him into the Tower of Eternity to revive him, these Eternal Heroes who had lived for over six thousand years could not help but become interested. Especially when they heard about Elux’s story, they were far more emotional than the common people who saw the film within the union. After all, the age when they lived was extremely close to Elux’s era. How could they not become emotional when they heard the process and reason of Elux becoming the Slumbering Calamity?

When he mentioned the process of gaining the recognition of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Long Haochen did not hide anythin either. He went into great detail, especially when he spoke about how he turned the situation around and defeated the Angel of Eternity in battle.

“A Scion of Light. What a good Scion of Light! It’s been a very long time since this bag of bones has exercised. Young man, would you like to spar with me?”

Long Haochen had never thought that after explaining his own history, Xiao Huo would actually ask him for a spar.

Long Haochen subconsciously assumed this was a test for the seniors, so he obviously did not shy away from it. He saluted Xiao Huo politely, before saying, “Please give me guidance, predecessor.”

The other Eternal Heroes slowly separated in the surroundings, giving Long Haochen and Xiao Huo enough space.

The arrangements inside the cavern were simple, but it was large. It was at least a third the size of the Temples’ Great Stadium. Of course, this definitely was not large enough for powerhouses like Long Haochen and Xiao Huo to unleash their powers. But since it was just a spar, they would obviously hold back their powers and avoid destroying this place.

Long Haochen did not draw the Sword of Eternity on his back. Instead, he kept his hands separate to his sides, condensing a huge golden sword in each. They were basically the same as the Sword of Eternity.

Witnessing the young man’s sincere actions, the spectating Eternal Heroes could not help but nod.

Xiao Huo was extremely large, but also extremely stiff. When he stood before Long Haochen, Long Haochen felt a great pressure weighing on his heart.

Was this a pressure form his soul? Long Haochen was very surprised. His mental force had risen to an extremely powerful level upon obtaining the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and fusing with Ye Xiaolei. Even though it could not rival the Demon God Emperor, he was definitely the greatest among humans. However, before Xiao Huo, his mental force gave him no advantage at all. Instead, he was suppressed.

However, Long Haochen was still Long Haochen after all. After momentary surprise, he understood why.

Xiao Huo’s soulforce was not necessarily stronger than his, but the purity of his soulfire made it such that his soul had no impurities. And, the soulforce was the core power of undead, which was why he had lost the upper hand in terms of his senses. However, Xiao Huo was unable to harm with soulforce alone.

At this moment, Xiao Huo’s hollow eyes suddenly lit up, just like two balls of sparks that had suddenly appeared. They were a pure and resplendent golden colour. To Long Haochen’s shock, the purity of his light element was no less than his own.

What shocked him even more happened next. When Xiao Huo’s eyes lit up, a ball of golden light had appeared on his chest as well. The golden colour was much brighter and afterwards, golden liquid flowed out from his chest, rapidly covering him completely.

This was…

The golden liquid was thick and resplendent. Wherever it passed by, all of his aura as an undead was completely hidden away. The pure and powerful aura of light erupted from his body like a geyser. Under the effects of the golden liquid, Xiao Hui’s body shone with a faint, golden haze.

Releasing liquid spiritual energy externally?

Long Haochen did not know what cultivation was required to achieve that, but he knew he could not with his current cultivation at the fifth rank of the ninth step. He could release spiritual energy externally and mould it, condensing armor and his twin swords, but he was unable to make it flow like liquid. Even if he copied it, it would not feel real.

The golden liquid covered Xiao Huo’s body very quickly, turning him golden. Afterwards, the liquid began to take form. A simple, undecorated golden armor surrounded Xiao Huo.

Golden Foundation Armour!

Long Haochen suddenly remembered when he found this armour to be so familiar. Didn’t the armour that Xiao Huo create from the external release of his liquid spiritual energy share many similarities with the Golden Foundation Armour?

Without a doubt, the Golden Foundation Armour was probably directly related to this predecessor.
