Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Seeing Li Hao’s firm attitude, Source Ancestor and others tried to persuade him a few more times but eventually left in vain.

“Isn’t there any other way?”

“Is this Haotian Venerate so heartless that he really wants to see us all perish miserably?”

“Don’t talk about him anymore. We regard all things as straw dogs, and he regards us as straw dogs. Now, it’s just karma.”

Among All Saints, some were pessimistic, already seeing the end of All Heavens Sacred Land.

Although other Saints were angry at Li Hao, deep down they knew they were the cause of the disaster, but faced with life and death, they were cornered and resentful that Li Hao wouldn’t forgive.

Under this oppressive and bleak atmosphere, the Sword Saint remained silent for a while, then slowly said:

“I’m not very familiar with Haotian, but I’ve heard from my senior brother that he is a man of deep emotions and loyalty, repaying kindness and avenging hatred. You’ve also studied his Daoist Scripture; his path is natural, emphasizing a natural mindset, unconstrained. In this situation, we’ve brought it on ourselves, but if we want to save ourselves, maybe there is one way.”

“What way?”

Someone asked quickly.

Source Ancestor, along with the Divine King and others, also looked at the Sword Saint.

The image of his little disciple’s reincarnated body appeared in Sword Saint’s mind, and his eyes flickered as he said: “He built the Holy Land likely to protect his friends and family. We should go find his friends and ask them to persuade him for us. It’s better than directly going to him.”

With this, he continued: “Before that, we need to show him some effort, make amends, and block the breach to prevent further invasions of ancient demons.”

“Make amends? So many of us have to act according to his mood?”

A Saint’s face turned unsightly, feeling incredulous.

Source Ancestor and Divine King exchanged a glance but thought Sword Saint’s proposal was reasonable.

“So what if we have to act according to his mood? You can choose not to, but don’t seek help from him. Can’t you understand our situation now?”

“Indeed, when under eaves, you have to bow. The formation has failed. Unless your research can develop a formation to conceal from the probing of ancient demons.”

“Now, we can only follow Sword Saint’s plan. But blocking that breach is too dangerous; what if the Immortal Gate suddenly shatters…”

Many Saints agreed with Sword Saint’s idea. At this point, they could only choose to lower their heads, but they couldn’t help worrying about the risks of blocking the breach.

“To avoid total sacrifice, let’s block the breach in shifts. If something happens when it’s someone’s turn, it is fate.”

Source Ancestor said.

With this statement, he essentially decided on the matter.

Although some of All Saints had complaints and wanted to try other methods, they had no choice but to accept.

Moments later, after discussing, they divided themselves into three groups based on strength and number, with Source Ancestor leading one, Divine King leading another, and many Old Three Calamity Saints constituting the last.

They took turns guarding the Ancient Hall, rotating every three days.

After concluding the discussion, All Saints followed Source Ancestor and Divine King to the Ancient Hall.

“Who knows how many ancient demons have been released during these days. These ancient demons are cunning; there’s probably a lookout at the breach.”

Source Ancestor and others carefully arrived at the Ancient Hall.

Upon entering, they sensed evil thoughts in the air, causing emotional agitation.

They immediately realized their prediction was correct; indeed, ancient demons were entrenched here. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When they reached the fissure, they saw four ancient demons guarding the Starry Sky Immortal Gate.

As they noticed the ancient demons, the demons also noticed them and let out a threatening low growl.

“Just as expected…”

Source Ancestor and others’ faces darkened. If they had not anticipated this and came together, a single group of Saints would likely have paid a heavy price.

“Kill!”

The Divine King was exceedingly decisive, leading with his sword into battle.

Soon, a fierce battle erupted in the Ancient Hall.

The four ancient demons united, immensely pressuring All Saints, but with cooperation and mutual assistance, coupled with a number over twenty times that of the demons, they swiftly annihilated the four ancient demons.

However, over twenty Saints were injured, with the Primordial Spirit declining, requiring recuperation.

“Divine King, according to the previous fate technique decision, you shall guard first, then I’ll take the turn in three days.”

Source Ancestor said to Divine King.

Divine King nodded, wiping the ancient demon’s blood off his sword, then squatted beside the demons’ corpses to examine them.

“These ancient demons are comparable to Dragon Saints in level and should be full of treasures. They might be refined into weapons or precious medicines. Previously, that Haotian Venerate took the demons’ corpses, probably finding great use. You who understand Artifact Refining and Alchemy, see what can be extracted.”

Divine King suggested.

Hearing this, a few Saints, adept in Artifact Refining and Alchemy, stepped forward and quickly picked out the ancient demon’s claws and cranial flesh.

Source Ancestor glanced at them, shook his head slightly, and said, “Don’t waste your effort. I’ve examined them before. Although the ancient demons are dead, the flesh contains unique soul-devouring power; both Artifact Refining and Alchemy are affected, making refinement impossible.”

Both Artifact Refining and Alchemy require Divine Sense control. During this process, the soul-devouring power in the ancient demon flesh constantly affects the soul, potentially causing severe self-harm before even accomplishing refinement.

Indeed, upon hearing his words, those Saints skilled in Artifact Refining and Alchemy, after inspecting, changed their expressions slightly and shook their heads:

“What Source Ancestor says is correct; it’s indeed unrefinable.”

Divine King raised an eyebrow, glancing at his old rival; true to form, he always seemed to be a step ahead, yet remained silently opaque.

“Why did Haotian Venerate take their corpses then?”

Divine King asked, frowning.

Source Ancestor’s eyes flickered; he also wanted to ask Li Hao this, but knew it likely involved Li Hao’s secrecy, and asking would be pointless.
