Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 213 - 163: Bronze Gate (Two in One, Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

Chapter 213: Chapter 163: Bronze Gate (Two in One, Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

Outside the Bronze Gate, there stood ten people.

Two women and eight men, all middle-aged or elderly in appearance.

Among them, if Li Qian were here, he would recognize one of them as the donkey-riding elder who once bestowed upon him the Great River Sword Qi.

Suddenly, the Bronze Gate began to emit a faint glow.

The ten individuals all wore serious expressions.

The light emanating from the body of the Bronze Gate gradually intensified until, at last, the two massive bronze doors slowly opened, revealing the darkness within that seemed as deep as the sea, almost as if this Bronze Gate connected to a world akin to hell itself.

Suddenly, a strong energy fluctuation burst forth from within the Bronze Gate.

The ten people were well-prepared and did not approach, instead standing at a distance.

Woo... woo... woo...

Accompanied by wailing sounds like the cries of ghosts and howls of gods emanating from the Bronze Gate, a human figure gradually emerged from the darkness, shifting from ethereal to solid, and finally stepped completely out from the Bronze Gate.

When the people present saw this person, they were all greatly shaken, faces revealing a look of reverent awe.

"Welcome, Senior Brother Wang, to the Human World."

The person who walked out from the Bronze Gate was a middle-aged man who looked to be under forty, dressed in a blue robe, his whole being exuded a transcendent aura along with an intangible majesty that inspired awe in others.

Senior Brother Wang simply nodded his head slightly.

"Senior Brother Wang, why have you personally come?"

A Zhenwu Temple ancestor at the Heavenly Phenomenon Level asked curiously.

Senior Brother Wang held an extremely high status within the sect; although not yet a Martial Saint, he was already a top-tier Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, and his future advancement to Martial Saint was almost certain.

Moreover, Senior Brother Wang himself possessed exceptional talent, a rare talent at the pinnacle of the Rosy Clouds Level.

If a Treasure Light Level talent represents the hope for a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, then a Rosy Clouds Level talent represents the hope for a Martial Saint.

A top-tier Rosy Clouds Level, even within the Martial Alliance, could be considered a martial arts prodigy of the century.

"Do you know, a Martial Saint has been born in the Human World."

Senior Brother Wang said in a deep voice.

"What?"

The people present exclaimed in shock.

"Senior Brother Wang, how is this possible? With the restrictions of the Human World’s barrier, it’s impossible for anyone to achieve Martial Saint, let alone... aside from those in possession of a National Guardian Artifact, even our local Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials have not managed to become one..."

The Zhenwu Temple ancestor hurriedly spoke.

"Five years ago, a Heavenly Tribulation appeared outside and struck the Human World’s barrier, causing widespread irreversible damage... After a long investigation, we have roughly determined the location of the tribulation crossing in the Human World, which should be within the territory of your Dachang jurisdiction."

Senior Brother Wang said.

"Our Dachang jurisdiction?"

Several Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials gave each other bewildered glances.

A Martial Saint had emerged within Dachang, yet they had no inkling of it.

Suddenly, a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial had a flash of inspiration and quickly said, "These past few years, the demon calamities within Dachang have shown signs of subsiding, could it be related to the birth of a Martial Saint?"

"That’s likely the case. The demon calamities within Huilong Mountain Range of the Taiwu Road have been quiet for years, not even a trace of demonic activity."

The Zhenwu Temple ancestor said.

He was the Dao Master of Zhenwu Road, and following the fall of the Taiwu Dao Master to prevent the spread of the demon calamities from the Huilong Mountain Range, he had joined hands with a few other Dao Masters to patrol the area twice in recent years. Apart from coverage by the Array, that Demon Saint Huang Lang had not made a single move.

"No wonder the demon calamities within my Yang Wu Road have also nearly ceased... Demon Saint Yuan Shou has not shown himself for many years."

Daoist Yang Wu had an epiphany, "Perhaps he has been dealt with by that Martial Saint."

"Therefore, I have come to the Human World this time to find that Martial Saint and attempt to win him over... If he cooperates with our Martial Alliance to clear the demon calamities, we may be able to delay the collapse of the Human World’s barrier..."

Senior Brother Wang said.

"Senior Brother Wang, will the barrier really collapse?"

The Zhenwu Temple ancestor’s tone carried a note of disbelief.

"The Martial Alliance no longer intends to maintain the barrier; it’s likely difficult to avoid subsequent collapses... Six years ago, the Wu Xu Venerable Sage of our Dao Sect passed away, and now the Dharma Sect’s Wu Xu Venerable Sage has taken charge of the Martial Alliance, and the other three Supreme Saints have also been persuaded."

Senior Brother Wang sighed as he spoke.

"Venerable Sage Bai He has passed away?"

Shock colored the faces of all ten people present.

After all, they were from the Dao Sect and naturally held deep veneration for this Supreme Saint.

They knew the Supreme Saint had sustained severe injuries, and now that he had passed away, it meant that the strength of the Dao Sect would greatly diminish, and their voice within the Martial Alliance would inevitably weaken significantly.

Moreover, Venerable Sage Bai He was a staunch advocate for maintaining the Human World’s barrier.

Now that this Supreme Saint had passed away, it meant that the opposing faction’s Wu Xu Venerable Sage had ascended, and it was inevitable that they would push forward the second plan.

"Senior Brother Wang, if the Human World will ultimately collapse, doesn’t it seem somewhat meaningless to delay it?"

A Dao Master couldn’t help but ask.

"Sooner or later, the situation will definitely be different."

Senior Brother Wang shook his head, "If Mo Li Great Saint from our Dao Sect can achieve Supreme Saint before the collapse of the barrier... there may still be a chance for reversal."

Upon hearing the name Mo Li Great Saint, everyone present grew solemn.

This Great Saint was the foremost among the Dao Sect’s Venerable Sage Bai He.

Moreover, he was the youngest top-tier Great Saint of the Dao Alliance rumored to possess Extreme Light Level talent. Such talent, even among the Martial Alliance of the Human Clan, was seen once in several centuries.

There was a definite possibility he could break through to realms above a Martial Saint.

Once Mo Li Great Saint achieved Supreme Saint, his status within the Martial Alliance would skyrocket, holding significant sway.

"So, I hope everyone here can cooperate with me in locating that Martial Saint."
