177: The mystery of the Sealed Cave solves all problems

“Everyone, do you still remember the Knight Sacred Mountain?” Long Xingyu asked.

His tone was light, but it gave people a feeling of immense confidence!

“We know,” everyone nodded.

However, no one knew what he was asking, only a few Hall Masters frowned at this moment, seemingly pondering what was special about the Knight Sacred Mountain.

Then, they thought of something.

Immediately, their breathing became a little rapid.

And Long Xingyu’s next words directly confirmed their thoughts: “Then, do you know about the Sealed Cave?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shaken.

The Sealed Cave has been passed down for six thousand years, and only the Hall Masters of each Temple know of it, a lineage passed down from generation to generation.

Precisely because of this.

The Hall Masters were stunned.

“Could it be those few from six thousand years ago?” Li Zhengzhi asked, very seriously.

“Precisely,” Long Xingyu nodded.

Hearing this, Li Zhengzhi’s expression paused. Immediately, without hesitation, he turned towards the position of Yun Yan, the ninth-tier, sixth-rank Fire Mage God within the Eternal Melody.

Immediately, he bowed deeply towards his position and said, “Li Zhengzhi, the current Hall Master of the Magician Temple, greets Old Ancestor!”

Seeing this.

Everyone around was instantly shocked!

No?

What was happening?

What in the world was the Sealed Cave?

One must know that Li Zhengzhi was incredibly proud; let alone Long Xingyu and the others, even the previous Old Hall Master of the Magician Temple was rarely given much regard by Li Zhengzhi, despite being an elder. But what was this situation now?

And turning to look at the previous Hall Master, one could see that even he, at this moment, showed no sign of displeasure. Instead, he was very serious, and at the same time, his body began to tremble slightly, unable to contain himself, as if preparing to salute.

It was very strange.

What had happened?

Everyone was quite puzzled.

“Hall Master, what kind of existences are these seniors, after all?”

“Why are all the Hall Masters, or former Hall Masters, acting this way?”

Lin Chen, the Holy Mage and head of the Mage Corps, also stepped forward. He first performed a solemn Knight’s Salute towards Yun Yan’s position, and then looked at Li Zhengzhi’s position, asking.

“This terrifying strong individual who released fire elements is our Magic Temple’s first Hall Master, Senior Yun Yan.”

“And the other strong individuals should also be the Hall Master-level strong individuals from the various Great Temples discovered at that time. As for the unverified Knight Old Ancestor, he should be the Knight Temple’s first Hall Master and the Temple Alliance’s first Alliance Master, Old Ancestor Xiao Huo!”

Li Zhengzhi spoke seriously, his words filled with agitation.

His plump body trembled at this moment; it wasn’t fear, but excitement!

Absolute, pure excitement.

Hearing this, countless beings present were shaken.

What?

The ancestors of the Temple Alliance from six thousand years ago?

Then wouldn’t these be their ancestors?

Among them, there were many old strong individuals over two hundred years old, and Chen Zidian was even three hundred and fifty years old, a living fossil of the Temple Alliance. Originally, his seniority should have been the most terrifying.

But now, with the appearance of these strong individuals, they were directly suppressed in terms of age. In fact, in terms of age alone, if the six of them were combined, they could even compare to the nearly two hundred Temple strong individuals present, as the combined age of these Temple strong individuals might not even reach thirty-six thousand years.

“Hall Master, what exactly is the situation with these seniors?”

“At least tell us; we’re just waiting here, not knowing anything. What exactly is the situation with these Old Ancestors? Why are they still alive after six thousand years?”

Ren Wokuang, on the side, looked at Qiu Yonghao’s position, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. Although these were all seniors, his impatient nature made him unable to wait.

The other beings also echoed his sentiments.

Hearing this, Long Xingyu took a step forward.

He said, “This matter is an absolute secret of the Six Great Temples. Although I have now brought all the seniors out of it, I still ask everyone to keep it temporarily confidential.”

“Six thousand years ago, when the demon race first descended upon the Holy Demon Continent, Holy Wars occurred frequently. At that time, a powerful being, along with five other top strong individuals, turned the tide. Using the six major passes as the foundation, they established the Six Great Temples.”

“At that time, hundreds of ninth-tier strong individuals sacrificed themselves, with only over sixty relatively intact bodies remaining. The Temple at that time possessed a super forbidden necromancy spell. After the Old Ancestors used the necromancy spell, they transformed into souls of strong individuals. Under the actions of the Temple Alliance’s Alliance Master at that time, the Sealed Cave was established within the Knight Sacred Mountain to save them.”

Long Xingyu explained.

He thoroughly answered all questions.

Hearing this, those present who were unaware of these circumstances were all stunned.

They truly hadn't expected it.

Such a thing actually existed.

And similarly, everyone at this moment looked at Xiao Huo and the other five with full astonishment, their expressions filled with agitation. No other reason, one must know, these were undead!

When necromancy was just mentioned, all present could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. Although they had not personally experienced the events of ten thousand years ago, the terrifying nature of it all was deeply etched in their hearts.

They trembled.

They were afraid, afraid that these strong individuals would become even more bizarre.

Seeing this, Long Xingyu smiled faintly and said, “Everyone, there’s no need to be too afraid. That necromancy scroll does not completely transform them into undead bodies; they are merely living as undead. Their attributes are still their original attributes, and furthermore, their love for humanity and the Temple Alliance is profound. There’s absolutely no need to worry about anything happening that would make the entire Temple Alliance regret it.”

Long Xingyu explained briefly.

Hearing this, the people around began to whisper.

Pondering all of this.

However, Li Zhengzhi was not afraid. He had been observing these strong individuals for the past few days and knew that their temperaments were not problematic, so he wasn’t afraid of anything. Nevertheless, he asked, “Hall Master Long, was this senior brought out by you?”

“Yes,” Long Xingyu nodded.

“Logically speaking, for the Eternal Heroes, as the Knight Temple’s top secret and highest-level existence, if one wishes to reactivate them and visit, it requires the collective agreement of the Six Great Temples. You, it seems, have been a bit too self-willed, haven’t you?”

“You must know, they are the most important existences of the Temple Alliance, but even so, once they leave the Sealed Cave, within three months, without the nourishment within, their soul fires will completely dissipate within three months. That would be a complete disaster!”

At this moment, Li Zhengzhi spoke thus.

His previous ease and satisfaction vanished completely at this moment, replaced by anger and confusion, wanting to know exactly what had happened.

Long Xingyu showed no anger towards his attitude.

He also knew that all of Li Zhengzhi’s thoughts were for humanity. His current outburst towards him was also because he had already convinced him with his ability, so let it be the same for this matter!

Thinking of this, he slowly said, “Hall Master Li’s words are indeed very reasonable, but what if I am able to keep them alive indefinitely and resolve all these drawbacks?”

Li Zhengzhi: “???” (End of Chapter)
