MTLNOVEL Chapter 488: 58, Evidence
Liangwang City...
If there truly was such a Human Clan city in the depths of the Eternal Night, everyone present could imagine the kind of forgotten desolation and powerlessness it would feel.
But...
How did such a Human Clan city survive amidst the demon tribe's rule and mutant beasts running rampant in the Eternal Night?
"Though there's space for resonance, I'll interrupt your emotion for a moment."
Lin Yue looked at the woman in red robes with a bald head, and said, "I greatly admire that the humans of Liangwang City have managed to hold on in the territory of the demon tribe and mutant beasts until now. However, may I ask you to explain a question?"
"To my knowledge, the Great Yong National Guardian Array repels for thousands of miles around it, making it impossible for demon gods to enter. This is also the range of the Dawn Platform's operations. Yet, I've never heard of the Dawn Platform discovering any city within the Eternal Night. I assume you are deep within the Eternal Night, beyond the thousands of miles."
He spoke in a calm voice, "With demon gods and even the ancestors of the demon tribe existing in the depths of the Eternal Night, may I ask how Liangwang City has survived?"
Everyone understood this principle.
Within Great Yong, the Human Clan could remain safe entirely due to the unbelievable National Guardian Array. The repulsive power it emitted at the periphery alone made it impossible for demon gods to get closer than thousands of miles, and the Eternal Night was driven away completely.
Unless a situation like the Star Lord causing internal damage in Great Yong occurred, the National Guardian Array was absolutely invincible.
So, what did Liangwang City rely on?
"It's the Human Ancestor and the Great Yu State Preceptor."
The woman in the red robe slowly said, "It was these two who joined forces, risking their lives to protect Liangwang City."
The Great Yu State Preceptor?
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Those with high status present knew that the Great Yu State Preceptor was an unrivaled master of Perfect Proving, not necessarily inferior to the Human Ancestor.
Moreover, the Great Yu State Preceptor had indeed vanished without a trace after the establishment of Great Yong.
Lin Yue squinted his eyes slightly.
After he went to the Upper Three Cave Heavens of the previous dynasty, he also learned that the Great Yu State Preceptor was actually the Second Primordial Spirit of the Daoist Ancestor.
Back then, after Great Yu discovered the slumbering Human Ancestor, they attempted to draw the Ancient Divine Power within the Human Ancestor's body. It was the Great Yu State Preceptor who helped the Ninth Princess calculate the method to merge that divine power and pass it down through bloodline inheritance.
From this perspective, the Great Yu State Preceptor and the Human Ancestor indeed had some connection.
"The Human Ancestor and the Great Yu State Preceptor?"
Lin Yue spoke, "These two are indeed supreme Proving powerhouses, but within the demon tribe, an unknown number of demon gods are also Proving powerhouses, and those twelve demon tribe ancestors are extraordinarily exceptional Proving powerhouses. Can the Human Ancestor and the Great Yu State Preceptor really protect you?"
Silence surrounded them.
Though this reasoning might seem to underestimate the Human Ancestor, it's indeed the truth.
Even the current Great Yong, without the National Guardian Array or the God Emperor, relying solely on its many strong powerhouses, might not be able to withstand the demon tribe, let alone relying solely on the Human Ancestor and the former State Preceptor.
It seemed highly unlikely.
"It's not merely about defense."
The woman in the red robe said gravely, "To be precise, it should be considered a threat."
"A threat?" Lin Yue looked at her.
"I remember that day, seven hundred years ago," the woman in the red robe said. "On that day, the source ancestor of the demon tribe attempted to break into Liangwang City. The Great Yu State Preceptor used the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul as a threat, saying that if the source demon tribe dared to intrude into Liangwang City's territory, they would immediately dissolve the Human Ancestor's soul, and then forget about obtaining the power within the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul."
Everyone was stunned.
Using the obliteration of the Human Ancestor's soul to threaten the demon tribe?
There was a kind of inexplicable absurdity to it.
Like using the emperor's life to threaten the rebellious traitor.
Moreover, the Divine Soul of a Proving powerhouse was supposedly eternal and indestructible. Even if other Proving powerhouses destroyed the physical body, it was impossible to extinguish the Primordial Spirit.
It seemed...
The key lied within the power of the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul?
The explanation from the woman in the red robe was so bizarre that it actually became more credible.
After all, for the demon tribe, even if a Human Clan's city existed within the Eternal Night, it was not a big deal. Considering Great Yong itself had to retract, how could a mere Human Clan city pose a threat?
If it was for some critically important existence, sparing the city was possible.
So, it indeed had a certain credibility.
At this moment—
"Disciple."
A familiar Divine Thought Transmission echoed in Lin Yue's mind, "Regardless of whether what she says is true or false, from what Master knows, back then the Human Ancestor indeed attempted to refine a terrifying power of an Ancient God, and the Heavenly Demon Ancestor truly needed that power. This point indeed makes sense."
Master?
Lin Yue was somewhat surprised. It seemed his master was indeed paying attention to this matter.
Moreover, the other party's statement seemed reasonable?
If it weren't that the Human Ancestor's soul was in my possession and that I knew your intentions, I might have believed you... Lin Yue murmured to himself, then said, "How do you prove whether what you say is true or false?"
"Proof..."
The woman in the red robe furrowed her brow, then turned her palm to reveal a somewhat withered piece of bamboo. She said, "I cannot prove the existence of the Human Ancestor anymore, but the Great Yu State Preceptor gave us this piece of bamboo, saying that if we hand it to the Temple Master of the First Holy Land in the Daoist sect, it can be confirmed."
"The Temple Master of the First Holy Land?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly. He turned to glance at the Daoist practitioners in the distant area and said, "Can any of you contact the Temple Master of the First Holy Land and inform him of this matter? Please ask the Temple Master to come?"
The First Holy Land, founded by the Daoist Ancestor, had a Temple Master who was an extraordinary immortal in the Human World.
In terms of status in the Daoist sect, they were equivalent to the Ancient Hall Master.
Present were great cultivators from the Daoist sect.
After all, the Body Refinement branch that achieved sainthood in the Daoist sect was extremely powerful as well, hoping to join the Ancestor Hall to study Martial Arts and harness the advantage of attaining sainthood in the physical body.
