I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"It's not the time yet!"

Lin Yan frowned slightly, shaking his head and said, "Firstly, there is no evidence of guilt, secondly, the foundation is unstable, thirdly, it easily provokes public anger, fourthly, there's a fear of wrongful killing, and fifthly... if a massacre begins, everyone at the top of the Holy Alliance would be on edge!"

"We are not yet capable of overturning the entire Holy Alliance and redefining the rules for the Human Clan!"

"Moreover, after overturning the entire Holy Alliance, we still need to watch out for the ten directions of evil!"

"Let's wait a little longer..."

As Lin Yan spoke.

Little White Ape whispered, "Wait until when?"

Lin Yan took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "Perhaps I'll have to wait until I am stronger than the current Alliance Hierarch, comparable to the ancient Human Emperor!"

——

In the afternoon.

Two people, traveling together, entered Heavenly Destiny City, weary and covered in dust.

The city guards saw nothing unusual.

However, afterwards, a decree from the Holy Alliance headquarters drew widespread attention.

The origins of these two were unknown, and they entered the city with a token from Southern King City!

However, investigations revealed that these two people went to the residence of the Commander of the Demon Suppression Department Main Hall.

They came for the Saint Master!

"They came from the south of Taixuan Divine Mountain?"

"Are they old friends of the Saint Master?"

"These two... are they cultivators of the New Technique?"

——

Inside the residence.

"Old Lu? Shen Jiang?"

Lin Yan looked at the two who had suddenly arrived and was somewhat surprised.

Upon seeing them, the first thought that came to Lin Yan's mind was that something had changed south of Taixuan Divine Mountain!

But, theoretically, if there were any changes, Little Willow Venerable would surely have warned him.

"Greetings, Saint Master!"

Shen Jiang stepped forward, bowing and saluting.

"You've succeeded with the New Technique?"

Lin Yan's gaze sharpened, and he quickly stepped forward, revealing a look of joy.

"In the entire South Mountain Sacred Land, he is the first to cultivate the New Technique after you!"

Lv Tang said proudly, "I'm almost there too!"

Lin Yan ignored this dark-faced man, pushed him aside, and walked up to Shen Jiang.

Before heading to Taixuan Divine Mountain, he already knew about Shen Jiang.

While at Taixuan Divine Mountain, he interacted with Shen Jiang and knew he was extraordinary, even imparting some cultivation methods of the New Technique to him.

Shen Jiang, a genius by nature, joined the army at seventeen, was transferred to Taixuan Divine Mountain at twenty-three, and by twenty-eight, he was promoted to Centurion.

By thirty-one, he broke through to the Refining Essence Realm.

At forty-two, he entered the Qi Refining Realm.

At forty-eight, he cultivated to the Peak of Qi Refining Realm and was promoted to the leader of the first flag of Earth Evil, Earthly Leader Star!

The unequivocal choice for the next Heavenly Kui Flag Master!

Unexpectedly, after himself as the law creator, the first person to successfully cultivate the Netherworld Internal View was Shen Jiang!

"Very good... very good..."

Looking at Shen Jiang, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile.

In recent times, his biggest concern regarding the New Technique was the fear that the Human Clan in the world didn't have his profound foundation... making the landscaping with the Qi Refining Realm too difficult!

But today, seeing Shen Jiang, who broke the shackles and completed the Netherworld Internal View, he could finally rest that heavy stone in his heart.

The Kaiyuan Creation God Skill is not achieved by him alone!

Others of the Human Clan can also cultivate this method!

He could be said not to have let down the respect the Human Clan in the world has for him as the Saint Master!

"Previously, the Sacred Land gathered figures at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm from various places, assembling at Qingling Duke's Blessed Land, receiving blessings from Little Willow Venerable, and were taught the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill!"

Shen Jiang knelt down, kowtowing, and said, "After obtaining the method, we, along with the wise men and sages of the Creation Law Lineage, studied together for half a month... attempting to lower the difficulty of Creation in various ways."

"Later, due to the lack of personnel from each side, everyone scattered back to their original places. On the way back to Taixuan Divine Mountain, I encountered a fortuitous opportunity, consumed a Fire Hell Red Lotus, and with the help of the Hundred Generation Mirror, completed the Landscaping Technique!"

He raised his head and said in a low voice, "Actually, it was also with the help of external forces!"

Lin Yan said seriously, "Regardless of whether external forces are used, at least after me, someone has successfully cultivated the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill! And as you said, the method to reduce the difficulty of creation has indeed yielded results... In the future, perhaps the difficulty will be even lower!"

"As a disciple, I have mastered the new technique, avoiding the erosion of Deceit Night and the hidden dangers of the old law, all thanks to the Saint Master, who has blessed the world and brought prosperity for generations!"

Shen Jiang respectfully bowed, performing the disciple's ritual to pay respects to his mentor.

Lin Yan patiently waited for him to complete the ceremony, then helped him up with both hands and said, "The Kaiyuan Creation God Skill originates from me. Since you have mastered it, upon meeting me for the first time, you may respect me as your teacher, and I accept it this once, but only this once!"

Shen Jiang was taken aback upon hearing this.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You are older than me, have made countless contributions to the Human Clan, and served for many years. In the future, on the battlefield, we will fight side by side as comrades, not as teacher and student!"

Shen Jiang quickly bowed and said in a low voice, "I dare not!"

Lv Tang waved his hand and said, "Enough, that's enough! You have paid respects this time, but from now on, whether you respect your teacher and follow the path, it all depends on your heart, not these complicated rituals!"

Little White Ape chuckled and said, "If you don't change, once Lv Tang masters the new technique, he'll have to kneel and call my master his mentor every now and then..."

Lv Tang's face turned as dark as charcoal.

Back then, his cultivation was far above Lin Yan.

He once even harbored thoughts of competing for the title of the Human Clan's number one genius with Lin Yan!

In the end, Lin Yan surpassed him, rising step by step, eventually becoming the Saint Master!

To be fair, he watched this young lad grow up!

No matter what, he still felt qualified to regard him as a younger brother.

Could it be that in the future, after mastering the new technique and becoming a Creation Leader, he'll have to kneel and kowtow at every turn?

"Speaking of which, your True Qi..."

Lin Yan looked at Lv Tang in surprise and said, "You've actually made significant progress in the Qi Refining Realm?"

"What's that supposed to mean? Are you underestimating me, Lv Tang?"

Lv Tang said irritably, "Indeed, your talent surpasses mine, but the two of us achieved the Qi Refining Realm at roughly the same time! Now that you've mastered creation and achieved the Primordial Spirit, I'm not surprised! So why is it so peculiar for me to make strides in the Qi Refining Realm, becoming a top-notch cultivator? Do you think, in your eyes, I've made no progress and am still a lower-ranked cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm?"

"..."

Lin Yan rubbed his forehead and said, "Speak plainly!"

Lv Tang replied sulkily, "The elixir recipe you obtained in the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land far surpasses the efficacy of the elixirs in South Mountain Sacred Land, particularly in the Qi Refining Realm, with miraculous effects in boosting True Qi..."

"From the Sacred Land, to the Taixuan Garrison, various cities and Blessed Lands, and major Pure Lands, all are searching for corresponding materials to refine elixirs!"

"Mr. Lu, highly esteemed with countless past merits, exchanged for a large number of superior spirit elixirs and bestowed them upon me."

"So now, I am considered a top cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, and at most a month away from reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Realm."

"In another year or so, if I master creation, I'll be considered a lower-ranked Creation Leader!"

As Lv Tang's voice fell.

Lin Yan's expression turned complicated, and he said, "Those who achieve the Primordial Spirit and create the Inner Realm Divine Domain are called God Lord! Those who haven't yet achieved the Primordial Spirit but create the Inner Realm Divine Domain are called Leader! But can you stop appending your own labels..."

"You disdain the realm divisions set by Lv Tang!"

Lv Tang muttered, "Upon first entering this realm, naturally considered lower-ranked! If I master creation, as a Leader in some domain, I'd be a lower-ranked Leader, so what?"

"Fine, you're lower-ranked."

Lin Yan, feeling helpless, then looked at Shen Jiang and asked, "You crossed the Demon Domain, entered the Holy Alliance, and came to Heavenly Destiny City, for what purpose?"

Shen Jiang responded solemnly, "It's Mr. Lu's intention."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan's expression turned serious.

Shen Jiang continued, "Mr. Lu believes that the Holy Alliance has existed for many years, and Heavenly Destiny City is a gathering place for strong individuals, hence extremely safe."

"Born amid hardships, dying in ease!"

"People in Heavenly Destiny City, after long periods of stability, with the threat of Deceit Night and the survival of their clan, have not faced them directly for a long time, and might become complacent."

"The various forces within are deeply entrenched, inevitably entangled with one another!"

"As an outsider, the Saint Master likely faces exclusion!"

"Especially when the Saint Master imbues the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill into the Eternal Mirror, Thousand-Life Mirror, and Hundred Generation Mirror..."

"After passing on the techniques of eternity to the Holy Alliance, in the future, your presence may not be so significant to the Holy Alliance!"

"Mr. Lu suspects that the Holy Alliance higher-ups will gradually diminish your contributions in the new technique over time, eventually erasing your achievements."

"At that point, for the young geniuses of the Holy Alliance, the one who grants them the new technique will not be the Saint Master, but the Holy Alliance!"

"But if you want to establish yourself firmly in the Holy Alliance, you need a solid foundation!"

"This group of people cultivating the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill will undoubtedly be the pillars of the next generation of the Holy Alliance!"

At this point, Shen Jiang bowed and said, "As the first person of the Human Clan to master the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill after the Saint Master, I have come to teach the young talents of the Holy Alliance the technique!"

"I will make these young talents aware of the gap between the new technique and the old law!"

"I will also ensure that these future pillars of the Holy Alliance understand the horrors of the hidden dangers of the old law and the achievements of the new technique!"

"Furthermore, they will be made aware that cultivating the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill is to inherit your graciousness as their mentor!"
