Chapter 426: Saint Advent Scheme

Some time later.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins.

On an extremely vast and massive stone platform.

This place was very desolate, with not a blade of grass growing.

Only the faint mystical light emitted by the constantly drifting rune fragments and Law fragments in the air outlined a dreamlike scene.

This place was called the Enlightenment Cliff.

It was rumored to be the place where a powerful expert from a super Sect had attained enlightenment during the ancient era.

For countless years.

The figures of those experts attaining enlightenment had left imprints in this space-time, and even left behind wisps of ethereal spirits. Those with Opportunity could comprehend ancient, long-lost secret Divine Abilities from them.

It was even possible to obtain a Cultivation Technique at the Emperor Scripture level.

At this moment.

On the vast stone platform, there were young Cultivators from the Northern Region everywhere.

They sat cross-legged in twos and threes.

Eyes closed in meditation, faint light emanating from their bodies, they were concentrating on their comprehension.

And in the very center of the crowd.

A young man with a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, whose aura was the most powerful, was surrounded by many Prodigies like stars surrounding the moon.

It was the Absolute Beginning Holy Land Saint, Ye Mo.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Behind him, the Nine Heavens appeared in astonishment. Countless stars filled the sky, arranged in an ancient formation, and an indescribably majestic figure stood in the starry sky, emitting a might that could make time stand still.

On the entire stone platform, all the Cultivators opened their eyes in horror.

"This aura… could it be an Emperor Scripture?"

"It is definitely an existence at the Emperor Scripture level! The Absolute Beginning Holy Land Saint truly lives up to his reputation."

"They say this Enlightenment Cliff holds an Emperor Scripture Legacy, but for so many years, it has never appeared. I thought it was just a rumor…"

"Damn it, he is so lucky!"

"…"

Everyone had complex expressions, their horror mixed with intense envy.

The world is truly unfair.

The Absolute Beginning Holy Land Saint was naturally qualified to practice an Emperor Scripture; practicing one more was just icing on the cake for him, yet that Emperor Scripture Legacy had chosen him.

And for people like them, having just one Emperor Scripture might be enough to change their destiny, but…

Good luck never seemed to come their way.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Saint!"

Nearby, many Prodigies from the Absolute Beginning Holy Land bowed to Ye Mo in unison, offering their congratulations.

Ye Mo nodded, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

What he had comprehended was an ancient Legacy called the "Zhou Tian Zi Wei Emperor Scripture".

It contained the true essence of the Law of Stars.

Its power was boundless.

It complemented his Absolute Beginning Emperor Scripture perfectly, and after practicing it, he discovered that his Desolate Ancient Saint Body gained extra benefits while practicing this Legacy, making it even more powerful.

Hum—

His body trembled slightly.

A Domain unfolded around him, consisting of layers of firmament, heavens beyond heavens, with stars scattered throughout the Void Realm, each containing great power, bringing a massive sense of oppression to the surrounding Void Realm.

"A double Dao Domain?"

"Heavens, the Absolute Beginning Holy Land Saint can actually condense a double Dao Domain? This is simply unreasonable!"

"I have never heard of any Soul Transformation Cultivator having a double Dao Domain; this is a miracle!"

"…"

Everyone was astonished by Ye Mo's strength.

Just then.

A sound of clapping suddenly came.

"As expected of the Desolate Ancient Saint Body, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

The moment this voice appeared.

The discussions of the other Cultivators in his ears instantly vanished.

Ye Mo frowned, realizing he had entered a unique space. Looking toward the sound, the person who arrived was a young scholar, gently waving a folding fan, looking very calm and gentle.

However, from the other person, Ye Mo keenly sensed a trace of an aura that made him uncomfortable.

"Who are you?"

"Saint, no need to be nervous. I am a friend, not an enemy!" the scholar said with a smile.

"Friend?" Ye Mo glanced at him. "I do not remember having a friend like Your Excellency!"

The scholar laughed: "I am here to help you!"

Ye Mo asked in return: "Help me?"

The scholar said: "Help you kill the people of the Northern Dark Holy Land!"

Ye Mo narrowed his eyes: "Who said I want to kill them?"

The scholar chuckled noncommittally: "Saint, there is no need to be so vigilant. We know about your grudge with the Wang family!"

"So what? Many people know."

"It seems your Master has never mentioned us to you!" the scholar sighed. "This will inevitably cause some trouble."

Hearing this person mention his Master Jiang Baiyi, a flash of sharpness flickered in Ye Mo's eyes: "Who exactly are you?"

The scholar smiled: "Instead of letting me explain, it would be better for you to listen for yourself, Saint."

The next moment, in this Void Realm, another figure appeared. It was a woman, with exquisite features, but a strange expression on her face, approaching with a smile: "Find Ye Mo and have him join the operation!"

Although she had the appearance of a woman, the voice coming from her body was that of an old man.

And that voice was very familiar to Ye Mo.

It was precisely the Absolute Beginning Holy Land Master, Ling Xiaozi.

Subsequently, another woman appeared, very plump: "Do you really want to involve Mo'er?"

Ye Mo's pupils shrank slightly; that was the voice of his Master, Jiang Baiyi.

A child appeared, smiling, and the voice emitted was still Ling Xiaozi's: "The situation has changed. There is no time for hesitation. Those people must die inside the Heavenly Ruins."

"Very well!" The last one to appear was a youth with a signature smiling face, but the voice emitted was the sigh of Jiang Baiyi.

These few people appeared like ghosts.

One sentence each.

Retelling a certain conversation.

It looked incredibly eerie.

Of course, based on voice alone, it was not enough to be trusted; this kind of thing was too easy to imitate.

However, Ye Mo truly and clearly sensed the unique auras of Ling Xiaozi and Jiang Baiyi from these people.

"Who exactly are you?" Ye Mo asked this question again.

"Saint Advent Society…"

The woman, the young girl, the youth, and the child spoke at the same time, their expressions and tones perfectly consistent, as if they were one person.

The moment the voice fell.

Their figures instantly merged into one, blending into the scholar's body.

It was also at this moment.

Ye Mo clearly felt the scholar's aura rise astonishingly, reaching the level of the Soul Transformation Late Stage.

"Star Soul Envoy, Su Zhe!" The scholar's lips curled slightly, and he bowed: "Greetings, Absolute Beginning Holy Land Saint."

Saint Advent Society…

Hearing this term, Ye Mo's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of complexity flashed across his eyes without leaving a mark.

As expected.

That Senior was telling the truth.

On the eve of the Heavenly Ruins opening.

That [Great Love Immortal Venerable] Senior, who had repeatedly instructed him in cultivation via the Communication Talisman, had revealed a secret to him.

Saying that his own Holy Land was colluding with the [Saint Advent Society].

And the Saint Advent Society, which worshiped the [Saint God], had organized countless horrific large-scale living blood sacrifices across the land of the Cangyuan Realm over the years.

It was an out-and-out evil organization.

At first.

Ye Mo did not believe it.

He had stayed in the Holy Land for so long, and while he knew that the Holy Land was not a perfectly holy and flawless place, and that shadows and many schemes existed there.

But on the whole, the Holy Land was still worthy of the title of the guardian deity of the Human Race in the Northern Region.

It often sent Disciples down the mountain to eliminate demons and the like.

How could it collude with such an organization? What were they plotting?

But now, he could not help but believe it.
