Supreme Warrior in the City

Under the arrangement of the Martial Champion, Su Yang and his companions ascended to the Jieyue Tower.

Among them, only Su Yang had been here before; the others, despite having previously encountered the Martial Champion, had never visited the Jieyue Tower.

Although Su Yang had already explained the situation of the Jieyue Tower to them before they arrived, upon actually seeing it, they were all astonished. Who could have imagined that the Jieyue Tower would look like this?

”Can everyone see me?” the Martial Champion asked from the center.

Everyone nodded. In the past, if they were here, they certainly wouldn’t be able to see the Martial Champion. After all, on top of this Jieyue Tower, a half-step could mean a gap of a thousand miles; without sufficient strength, it was impossible to see that far.

”Follow me!” The Martial Champion turned and flew toward the starry sky, and everyone immediately followed closely, flying after him.

After flying for more than three hours, they finally saw a dim planet in the starry sky, which was the moon.

It took them nearly another hour to fly close to this planet. However, as they approached, there was a faint glow surrounding the outside of the planet, blocking them from entering.

”This is the prohibition of the Jieyue Tower!” The Martial Champion took a small jade pendant from his body and placed it outside the glow. The jade pendant emitted the same light, and before long, a gap appeared in the glow.

”Go in!” The Martial Champion gestured.

They each entered the glow. Su Yang reached out to touch it and discovered the power of the glow was quite strong.

”How did this prohibition come to be?” Su Yang asked.

”Set by a Saint!” The Martial Champion said softly, ”Every realm has a similar Jieyue Tower, and outside each one, there’s a prohibition set by a Saint!”

”Really?” Su Yang was taken aback and curiously asked, ”Then which realm’s Saint set up the prohibition in the Human Realm?”

”Of course, the Human Realm’s prohibition was set by the Human Realm’s Saint!” The Martial Champion replied.

”Ah?” Su Yang couldn’t help but be shocked, and the others were equally stunned as they looked at the Martial Champion.

”The Human Realm also has a Saint?” Beigong War God couldn’t help but ask. They were well aware of matters in the Cultivation World but had never heard of a Saint in the Human Realm.

If there was a Saint in the Human Realm, its strength certainly wouldn’t be weak, nor would it be bullied by the other Eight Realms to this extent!

Su Yang looked at the Beigong War God in shock. If there was a Saint in the Human Realm, why wouldn’t they intervene to help?

”The Saint of the Human Realm has long perished in battle!” The Martial Champion sighed lightly.

”Perished in battle?” Once again, everyone exclaimed in disbelief; how could someone of a Saint’s power die in battle?

”Otherwise, how do you think the gateways connecting the Human Realm to the Eight Realms were sealed?” The Martial Champion looked at them, ”Do you really believe even the power of Divine Beasts is enough to seal the gateways?”

Everyone was taken aback. It seemed that the sealing of the gateways between the Human Realm and the Eight Realms was also related to the demise of the Human Realm’s Saint?

Su Yang was intrigued, realizing that the power of Divine Beasts was perhaps not as formidable as he had imagined.

”No matter how strong, Divine Beasts are at most Sub-Saint level. Without being a Saint, they wouldn’t be able to influence a Saint!” The Martial Champion explained, ”The gateways from the Human Realm to the Eight Realms are sealed; why can’t the Eight Realms open this seal? Because it requires a great cost, requiring a Saint to intervene. But what kind of power, what kind of seal, would require a Saint to act to open it?”

”If it weren’t for the Human Realm’s Saint, who fought with all his might against the Eight Realms Saints, ultimately perishing and willingly giving up the chance of reincarnation to disperse the Power of Saint and seal the Eight Realms Boundary Point, the Eight Realms would have invaded the Human Realm long ago! The later sealing of the point by the Divine Beasts was really just reinforcing the seal. The true seal was left by the Human Clan’s Saint. It’s precisely for this reason that the Eight Realms need to pay a price to break through the Human Realm’s seal, needing a Saint to take action!”

Everyone suddenly understood and felt deeply moved. Who would’ve thought there was once a Saint in the Human Realm? And most importantly, the Saint died in such an undeserved way.

Fighting against the Eight Realms Saints, ultimately falling in battle. But after all, a Saint could still reincarnate and cultivate back to Saint Realm as long as the Power of Saint remained.

However, this Human Realm Saint ultimately gave up the opportunity for reincarnation, dispersing the Power of Saint to seal the Eight Realms Boundary Point. It can be said, this Saint of the Human Clan sacrificed his life to earn the clan so many extra years of existence.

If not for the sacrifice of this Human Realm Saint, the Human Clan might have ceased to exist long ago!

”What was the name of this Human Realm Saint?” Beigong War God asked respectfully, and everyone else was filled with admiration.

”Xuanyuan Human Emperor!” The Martial Champion responded.

Everyone silently remembered this name in their hearts; this was truly the Guardian God of the Human Realm!

While talking, they had already reached the surface of the moon.

The scene here was just as they had seen from a distance, dimly lit. But thankfully, everyone’s strength was substantial, and even in the darkness, they could see without any issues.

As soon as they landed, they saw some people approaching from afar. Among them, one was an assassin.

Seeing the group, the assassin chuckled, ”I haven’t even returned, yet you’ve arrived before me.”

Su Yang also smiled; he only knew the assassin had gone to handle a significant matter without knowing what it entailed. Now he finally understood. Meeting again on the moon was indeed unexpected for Su Yang. Or rather, Su Yang had never conceived he could one day stand on the same footing as the assassin!

”Let me introduce you.” The assassin pointed to two others beside him, ”This one is surnamed Yang, from the Heavenly Realm’s War God. The other, Huo Lin, is the brother of the second-generation Martial God. We’re the Defenders of the Human Realm’s moon!”

”Only you three?” Su Yang was shocked; just three people to guard such a vast place?

”We’d love to have more people, but where in the Human Realm could we find more?” The assassin shrugged, ”Now we’re just waiting for you all to grow stronger so you can come and help us!”

Su Yang and his companions exchanged glances. Wasn’t their visit here precisely to enhance their strength?

”Heavenly War God...” Qi Zhishan looked at the man named Yang beside him with surprise, ”He’s also a Defender of the Human Realm’s moon?”

”Indeed!” The assassin nodded decisively, ”He was among the first Heavenly experts to enter the Human Realm and is one of the founders of the Heavenly Court. However, Young Yang has a great relationship with the Human Clan, so after the first-generation Martial God lost in the Endless Starry Sky, he stayed to help defend the moon and has never returned!”
