Chapter 303 The Land of the Saints' Legacy
"As for you..."
Night Shadow looked Lin Hanzhou up and down, seemingly trying to see through his background.
"If I'm not mistaken, you probably used some kind of similar tool, right?"
"Skip the vulnerable infancy period and inherit real-world strength?"
Faced with Nightshade's gaze, which seemed to be questioning but was actually one of certainty.
Lin Hanzhou neither admitted nor denied it.
He simply nodded slightly, a mysterious smile on his face.
I guess so.
Anyway, let the other party guess whatever they want.
He can't exactly say that he has a system and is always at full strength every time he transmigrates, can he?
Maintaining a bit of mystery can sometimes be safer.
……
"alright."
Seeing that Lin Hanzhou didn't want to say more, Ye Ying didn't press the matter further.
He took a deep breath, and his expression became solemn.
"We've had enough of the small talk."
"Those messages just now were all my sincere efforts."
"Well then, now it's time for us to get down to business."
"I've called you here today because I want to collaborate on something that would benefit both of us."
"But before that, I need to confirm your strength. You need to reach at least the eighth rank to participate in this cooperation."
Hearing this, Lin Hanzhou slightly revealed his concealed aura, revealing himself to be at the second level of the eighth rank.
"Eighth-order, second-level, ultimate..."
Night Shadow sensed the fleeting aura of an eighth-tier cultivator emanating from Lin Hanzhou, his eyes brightening slightly as he nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems you've made quite a bit of progress lately."
"Since you meet the requirements, then we can discuss this deal."
Nightshade sat up straight, his voice becoming low and mysterious.
"My goal this time is to gain enlightenment on the Great Dao."
"I wonder if you, my friend, are interested in this?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou raised an eyebrow slightly and toyed with the teacup in his hand.
"Insights into the Great Dao? How exactly do one obtain them? I would like to hear the details."
He was familiar with the word.
The Five Elements Sword Saint had previously tried to use this to trick him.
Although the Five Elements Sword Saint was a fraud, the [Great Dao Enlightenment] itself is indeed one of the most outstanding opportunities in the world.
It's like a key that unlocks the door to truth.
Even though Lin Hanzhou is determined to walk his own "highest path" and will not copy other people's paths.
However, if he could gain some insights into rare laws such as time, space, and causality as a reference, it would be of great benefit to him in refining his Dao traces and perfecting his system.
"One week later."
Night Shadow stretched out a finger and gently tapped it in the void.
"The Demon Slayer Hall will open a secret realm called the [Sages' Heritage Site] to the entire Tianxuan Realm."
"The rule is: any member who joins the Demon-Slaying Hall and reaches the eighth level of cultivation, whether a formal elder or a guest elder, is qualified to enter and seek opportunities!"
"And within this land of inheritance lies the profound understanding of the Great Dao left behind by hundreds of ninth-tier Mahayana stage powerhouses from ancient times!"
At this point, Nightshade's voice carried a hint of fervor.
"What?!"
Even with Lin Hanzhou's composure, he couldn't help but be slightly moved upon hearing this news.
Hundreds of ninth-rank individuals?
The Demon Slayer Palace is so generous?
"Would the Demon Slayer Palace be so kind?"
Lin Hanzhou asked suspiciously.
"Open to all eighth-tier members? Even including us newcomers who don't know anything about our backgrounds?"
This is clearly illogical.
Those profound insights are priceless treasures, and should logically be reserved only for direct descendants. How could they be shared among the general public?
"Could it be...?"
Lin Hanzhou's eyes narrowed, and he instantly thought of a certain possibility.
"Has the situation really gotten that bad?"
"Or... is this so-called 'Land of Inheritance' actually a complete scam?"
"Hehe, clever."
Night Shadow glanced at Lin Hanzhou with admiration, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
"There are probably two reasons."
"However, this is indeed a complete scam!"
"On the surface, they said it was to improve the overall strength of the human race, allowing eighth-level cultivators to choose from among them to comprehend the Great Dao, thereby enhancing their combat power to jointly resist the demon race."
"But in reality, it's those ancient monsters hiding in the gutter who are choosing suitable targets to possess!"
……
"Possession?!"
Although Lin Hanzhou had already guessed, he still couldn't help but feel a chill upon hearing this definite answer.
The Demon-Slaying Hall was indeed up to no good.
"That's right."
Nightshade continued to explain.
"The so-called 'Sages' Heritage Site' is actually a magnificent palace called the 'Soul Nourishing Hall'."
"This palace itself is an extremely rare ninth-tier treasure, specifically designed to nurture the divine soul!"
"It is precisely because of the existence of this supreme treasure that the remnant souls of those ninth-tier powerhouses can be guaranteed not to completely dissipate even after millions of years, and will always retain a trace of intelligence."
"In that great war a million years ago, many ninth-tier powerhouses perished physically, but before they died, they all entrusted a wisp of their original soul to this palace."
"It's all so I can leave myself a way out, waiting for the day I can possess another body and be reborn, living a second life!"
At this point, a hint of disdain flashed in Nightshade's eyes.
"However, as you know, the relationships among these ninth-tier powerhouses are not harmonious; in fact, they are quite scheming against each other."
"Those ninth-tier beings who are still alive certainly don't want the dead ninth-tier beings to be reborn so quickly."
"After all, one more ninth-tier means one more person to share the pie, and it could even threaten their dominant position."
"This is why the Soul Nourishing Hall has been sealed until now and has never been opened."
Lin Hanzhou understood this immediately.
Human nature is selfish.
As the current Palace Master, Duanmu Hong naturally hopes to be the only king.
Why would he unleash a bunch of old patriarchs to compete for power? He's not stupid.
As for why the [Hall of Nourishing Souls] is being opened now, it is naturally to deal with the threat of the demon race's arrival.
The demon race is incredibly powerful, and the current Demon Extermination Hall is simply no match for them.
It is precisely for this reason that the Demon Slayer Hall had no choice but to release the ancient relics from the past.
After all, no matter how many ordinary eighth-tier cultivators there are, on the ninth-tier battlefield, they are just slightly higher-level ants.
However, if it is an eighth-rank being possessed by a ninth-rank remnant soul, then that is a considerable combat power.
Although it takes time to recover one's cultivation after possession, it is impossible to immediately return to the ninth rank.
However, with their ninth-tier combat experience and understanding of the laws, these ancient beings are absolutely invincible at the eighth tier.
Moreover, they have just been resurrected and are extremely weak, making them easy targets for the Demon Extermination Hall to control and turn into the sharpest blade in their hands!
