Shen Yin Wang Zuo-Chapter 793: Launching the First Attack, the Army for Penetration (I)

Shu Yongxiao only uttered a single word and she stopped. She studied Long Haochen as ideas flashed through her blood-red eyes. Who knew what she was thinking.

“However what? Please tell me, senior,” Long Haochen said in a hurry.

Shu Yongxiao said, “In the recent years, we basically cut off our connection from the outside world in order to live longer, apart from when we listen to the news brought in by the Knight Temple every few decades. If we leave this time, it’ll probably be our swan-song. In the past few millennia, apart from slumbering, every single one of us have been comprehending and have developed some great techniques. We hope the union can select a group of outstanding young people for us, so we can pass down our abilities. They don’t need to accept us as their master, but their talent for comprehension must be high. They must be good natured as well. I don’t care about the others, but at least give me someone as good as you.”

“This…” Long Haochen pondered over it silently and said with some difficulty, “It’s good news to the union that the predecessors wish for their techniques to be passed down. I fully support that. However, finding someone like me will be rather difficult.”

Long Haochen was not being overconfident. In terms of talent, was there a single person in the Temple Union that could match his? His natural internal spiritual energy was a hundred and twenty. He possessed the Light God physique.

Xiao Huo chuckled, “Child, you’ve been hand. Your little girlfriend that you mentioned earlier has clearly caught Yongxiao’s eye. She afraid that someone else will take her, which is why she mentioned it in a hurry. She’s the first temple head of the Assassin Temple.”

Only then did Long Haochen understand. He scratched his head, “Cai’er definitely won’t have a problem with that. She’ll be very willing to learn from you.”

Shu Yongxiao turned around to the Eternal Heroes and giggled, “Do you hear me? None of you are allowed to steal from me. Even without considering her talent, just her character has convinced me. She’s mine.”

“Little Long, you can’t favour others like this!” Another old voice rang out. An old man took a few steps forward and said, “Old man Xiao and temple head Shu have already taken away the best ones. My conditions aren’t very tough. I just want a successor from that Bright Glimmer of Hope demon hunt squad you mentioned.”

Just when Long Haochen was about to agree, the other Eternal Heroes in the surroundings basically surged forth together, surrounding him completely. The predecessors who had been so composed earlier were now frantic. They babbled all sorts of things, targeting their Bright Glimmer of Hope.

It was not a surprise why the Eternal Heroes would be like this. They knew they would not have much time left in this world. If they could pass on their life’s work, then they would basically be living on in a different form. Not to mention, it was normally always easier to find a powerful master than an outstanding disciple! Long Haochen had already mentioned it earlier. Even the oldest from his Bright Glimmer of Hope was in the early thirties, with their lowest cultivation being at the peak of the eighth step. Eight of them were at the ninth step and half of them were powerhouses with domains.

Where were they supposed to look for geniuses like that? Even if they searched the entire union, they would probably struggle to find people like that. Xiao Huo’s actions immediately made them all remember this. Shu Yongxiao reacted the fastest, while the others were not slow either! Although the Eternal Heroes followed Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao, none of them would let up when it came to finding a disciple. Not only did they surround Long Haochen completely, just from how emotional they became, they seemed like they were about to start fighting.

“Seniors, seniors, please listen to me.” Seeing how the situation was losing control, Long Haochen said loudly in a hurry. At the same time, the Armour of Eternity on his shone with white light, allowing the Eternal Heroes to settle down slightly in the special pulses of spiritual energy.

The Eternal Heroes temporarily settled down, but their burning gazes all gathered on Long Haochen, waiting for him to give them an agreeable plan.

Long Haochen said sincerely, “Predecessors, I can understand how you feel. Please don’t worry. Perhaps we’re about to determine victory between humans and the demons, the union has gained many outstanding young geniuses recently. Don’t worry, predecessors. I can promise you that I can find a hundred disciples to inherit your teachings that are below forty years of age and above the eighth step in cultivation. Our Bright Glimmer of Hope will be included as well. As for how you choose in the end, I think it should be up to you. You can draw straws as to who goes first. However, I can’t tell you the abilities of these disciples before you choose. They’ll only be divided by their vocations. Whoever draws the straw can pick a satisfying disciple first, until everyone is chosen. How about that?”

These Eternal Heroes were all powerhouses of the ninth step when they were still alive. Apart from Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao who were the strongest, the others all possessed roughly the same cultivation. They also knew that if they really did start fighting, it end up as a mess. None of them would be able to convince each other. Long Haochen’s idea was reasonably fair. Everyone agreed to it by nodding and finally, they had resolved the chaos.

Long Haochen then said, “Since the predecessors have agreed to leave with ,e, do you have any particular requests, so I can arrange them for you?”

The Eternal Heroes had stayed here for several thousand years after all. He did not know whether they would be accustomed to the outside environment, or if they needed anything, which was why he asked.

Shu Yongxiao said, “Don’t worry, we’re not that week. Just prepare a great big cloak for everyone and that’ll be enough. As for our identities, you can just say that we’re your personal guards.”

Long Haochen said in a hurry, “How can I do just that? Predecessors…”

Xiao Huo raised his hand to interrupt him, “Just do that. We’ve existed for over six millenia now. We don’t care about fame anymore. We just want to achieve our objectives. However, we’re still grateful that you have thought for us and wanted to rectify our names. As long as you lead the union, repel the demons and reclaim our human world, we will be satisfied. That is also our only request. We can finally see that hope in that from you.”

Long Haochen said, “Predecessors, you’re making me feel embarrassed.”

Xiao Huo chuckled, “There’s no need to be modest. If you were limited to the strength you used against me earlier, then how would you still be able to become the chairman of the union? In the past, I had personally witnessed the might of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. You probably haven’t even pushed your domain to the limit. Go out and prepare first. Once we leave, I’ll stay by your side for a while, until you completely learn the Three Moves of Brahm?.”

“Yes,” Long Haochen replied politely.

Shu Yongxiao said, “Hold on, little Long. You still need to understand the overall strength of theses sixty-three old hags, so you make arrangements for the battle against the demons. Old man Xiao and I are at the seventh rank of the ninth step, with sixteen at the fifth rank or higher. The rest was all beyond the third rank. Just bear that in mind.”

Long Haochen was truly shocked. Sixty-three powerhouses beyond the third rank of the ninth step. Even the entire union might not have been able to gather that! Not to mention, sixteen of them were beyond the fifth rank and there were two at the seventh rank. This force could nullify the threat of the strongest demons, the devil dragons, at the very least. In other words, with the support of the Eternal Heroes, not only did it give confidence to humanity against the demons, it increased their chances at victory by twenty percent at the very least.

Long Haochen left the cavern, took back the sacred mountain insignia and returned to where the teleportation array was.

As soon as he had emerged, Cai’er immedaitely roused from her state of cultivation. Long Haochen had just faced against a group of ninth step powerhouses, so it would be strange if she really could settle down to cultivate. She did not meditate at all. She only relaxed when she saw Long Haochen return in perfect shape.

Long Haochen gave a simple explanation of what he went through. Yang Haohan could not help but beam with joy. Long Haochen had benefited tremendously this time. Not only did he gain the recognition of the eternal heroes who had also agree to fight, there was also the good news of the Eternal Heroes being willing to pass on their techniques.

Long Haochen did not know the vocations of the Eternal Heroes, but Yang Haohan did! Among the sixty-three Eternal Heroes, a third of them were knights. Although it would be difficult to find powerhouses below the age of forty with cultivations beyond the eighth step, they still should have been able to gather enough people since the Knight Temple was the leaders of the six temples. Just the Bright Glimmer of Hope possessed five knights. Coupled with Li Xin and the other excellent young knights, there would be no problem in allocating the techniques of the Eternal Heroes. The five other temples would not be missing out, so everyone would obviously benefit, albeit not as much for the five other temples.

Yang Haohan left Long Haochen to wait on the Knights’ Sacred Mountain. He returned back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as quickly as he could and in just a short while, he returned with new clothes and cloaks.

The clothes were all knit from the best silk. Not only was it tough, it was cool in summer and warm in winter, best for maintaining body temperature. The cloaks were the same. The clothes and cloaks were all lined with golden threads. It was not obvious there, but it would shine faintly with a golden light in the sun. It gave off a luxurious feeling, while maintaining a low profile as well.

Long Haochen entered the cavern once more with these clothes and cloaks. He handed them to the Eternal Heroes. Only then did the sixty-three powerhouses leave with him, leaving the cave after four waves of teleportations.

Standing in the centre of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain, all of the Eternal Heroes thought to themselves silently. When they sensed the dense light element and the unfamiliar brightness, they experienced many emotions.

Having slumbered for thousands of years, they were finally leaving and this time, it was very likely that they would not be returning here. Even though they had slept for thousands of years, it was impossible for them to not have changed, even if just slightly.
