I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

After Yi Qian, within the Ancestor Realm, anyone who does not abide by the Ancestor's Precepts or questions future Saint Masters can leave the Upper Heaven and rely on their own abilities to make a name for themselves.

Because of this, the upheavals, obstacles, and various trials that Lin Yan had previously anticipated in the current Heavenly Ancestor Realm are absent.

Those who remain at the top in the Ancestor Realm uniformly adhere to the Ancestor's Precepts, waiting for the birth of the Saint Master.

Including the six Human Martial Saints who lie dormant in time.

The elder leading them is the most ancient among the six Human Martial Saints.

He had seen the First Human Emperor!

Without relying on external objects, weapons, or techniques, he could shatter the Nine Heavens by sheer brute force.

The Divine Weapon he favored is within the Human Emperor's Bag!

With this Old God's Magical Object, though unable to break the Extreme Heaven, he has the power to sway the might of the Tenth Heaven!

He is also a figure in the Heavenly Ancestor Realm, second only to Shangguan Youqi in status.

Heavenly Ancestor, Li Chengdao!

Beside him are two figures, an elder and a middle-aged man, both standing atop the Eighth Heaven.

Behind him stands another elder, though he has become excessively old, with the Leakless True Body showing signs of decay.

This elder in his prime could have broken through the Eighth Heaven, but now in his senescence, he can barely break the Seventh Heaven.

Next is a beautiful middle-aged woman.

The woman is a Martial Saint who broke through the Eighth Heaven, appearing to be in her forties, with an elegant and dignified demeanor, exuding nobility.

The last man appears to be in his thirties with sword brows and starry eyes, possessing an extraordinary aura.

He is the youngest among the six Human Martial Saints of the Upper Heaven.

——

Lin Yan is not in a hurry to leave the Heavenly Ancestor Realm.

And the six Human Martial Saints, awakened from the Time Forbidden Technique, need some time to rest and understand the changes in the Upper Heaven after their dormancy.

So Lin Yan withdrew from the main hall and left Elder Yuwen behind.

Outside the hall, Li Gui awaited.

"Saint Master, are you going to the Treasure Vault or the Book Repository next?"

"To see the legendary murals that can reverse knowledge of the future."

Lin Yan stated, "From what I currently know, the Upper Heaven has been passed down through tens of thousands of years, and now, as I arrive, these murals are the foundation..."

Li Gui paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "The Ancestor's Precepts are passed down by word of mouth over the generations, but the murals have always been there, with every generation having a Great Scholar to interpret them."

He sighed and said, "In my youth, I dreamed of following the beings depicted in the murals, even fancied that perhaps I was the unparalleled genius the Upper Heaven has awaited for ages! But later, I thought it was just an elusive legend..."

As his voice fell, he looked up at Lin Yan, murmuring softly, "I never thought that in my lifetime, the figure on the murals, the being from the legend of the Ancestor's Precepts, would truly appear."

"But, I also think, perhaps it isn't you who appeared."

"It's just that you have similarities to the person on the murals."

"There are many who think like me."

Li Gui paused for a moment and said, "For example, among those six Great Saints, the eldest one..."

Lin Yan frowned and said, "Elder Li?"

Li Gui slightly shook his head and said, "This elder is my bloodline ancestor, who witnessed the creation of the murals! I meant the other one..."

Lin Yan paused, pondering slightly.

The other, even more ancient Human Martial Saint, whose life span is near its end, and the Leakless True Body is showing signs of decay.

Clearly, the time they chose to sleep was in their later years.

Li Gui said, "He once had ambitions to leave the Upper Heaven and carve out a realm but was left behind."

"Left behind?"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Wasn't it said that the Ancient Dragon Ancestor allowed them to leave the Upper Heaven?"

"The first strong one to leave the Upper Heaven... Yi Qian!"

Li Gui slowly said, "He is Yi Qian's junior!"

Lin Yan stopped and looked back.

Li Gui said, "Yi Qian chose not to slumber in time, so he let his junior, this Yi Feng Great Saint, see the future scenery for him, and wait for you, this Saint Master's birth!"

"Actually, after Yi Qian left, initially, it wasn't allowed for members of the Human Clan of the Upper Heaven to leave the Ancestor Realm."

"They had to possess the ability to break the Nine Heavens to be permitted to leave the Ancestor Realm."

"Yi Feng Great Saint failed and even in his later years didn't achieve the ability to break the Nine Heavens, so he chose to slumber in time."

"Later on, the Ancient Dragon Ancestor ordered that any who become Human Martial Saints can enter the mortal world."

"Even after the Ancient Dragon Ancestor's passing, reaching the Refining God Realm allows one to choose to leave the Upper Heaven."

"But the position of the Upper Heaven must not be disclosed."

As Li Gui spoke.

Lin Yan immediately understood his meaning.

"You want to tell me that this Yi Feng Great Saint who chose to sleep may not necessarily submit to me..."

Lin Yan said calmly, "This implies that among the current Elders, stewards, disciples, and so forth of the Heavenly Ancestor Realm, there might be some questioning?"

"Not questioning!"

Li Gui said, "The person in the Ancestor's Precepts, the protagonist on the murals, is the supreme figure in the hearts of the Human Clan of the Upper Heaven, the symbol of hope! We don't question him..."

Pausing for a moment, Li Gui continued, "But we do not know whether you are truly him!"

Lin Yan immediately understood his meaning and nodded, "So..."
