“There is indeed a major piece of information, Lin Yun, sit down first and we’ll talk more slowly.”The Hall Master made an inviting gesture.
Lin Yun pulled back his chair and sat down at the table.
With Lin Yun’s current strength and merit, even the core secrets of the Holy Temple were not hidden from Lin Yun.
“It’s like this, our scouts buried in the Dark Shadow Sect have recently detected a major piece of information, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, has returned to the Dark Shadow Sect.”The Hall Master said.
“Demon Emperor?”
“Hall Master, wasn’t the Demon Emperor suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower? How could it have returned to the Shadow Sect?”Lin Yun was surprised.
“I used to think the same thing, but now it seems …… that there’s only one scenario, the Demon Emperor in the Demon Suppressing Tower is just a body, her soul, has been reincarnated and her memories have been awakened!”The Hall Master said.
“If that’s the case, the situation is even more unfavourable for us.”Lin Yun’s gaze was slightly condensed, his heart heavy.
In the past, it was at least guaranteed that the Demon Emperor was being suppressed in the Temple, and without the Demon Emperor as a hidden danger, the strongest the other party had was only the Demon King, and the Temple still had the backbone to fight it off.
And now, the Demon Emperor was also outside, the strength of the Demon Race, it was obvious that the strength of the Demon Race, it was much stronger, to know, Demon Emperor that kind of level of existence, has completely overridden the Cave Void powerhouses, the Palace Lord are completely not a rival, and even the gap is extremely large.
“Indeed, this news, if true, for us, is definitely a bad news, the only thing worth celebrating is that the Demon Emperor should not have awakened for too long, so her strength, is still in the process of recovering, her current strength, should not be as strong as me, so currently, there is no need to be afraid of her to fight over.”
The Hall Master continued, “And, as long as she doesn’t have that body in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, even if her strength continues to recover, it’s unlikely that she’ll be able to return to her peak period.”
Lin Yun was barely relieved after hearing this.
It was conceivable that if the Demon Emperor’s strength recovered and she obtained the body, she would also be enough to rush to the Holy Temple and sweep across the entire Holy Temple with no one being able to stop her, even the Palace Lord would be powerless to resist.
“Hall Master, since the Demon Emperor in the Demon Suppression Tower is only a shell, I suggest that it be destroyed immediately! So that the Demon Emperor will never be able to reclaim his body, and the Demon Emperor’s strength will never be able to return to its peak!”Lin Yun had a serious face.
In the past, the holy temple didn’t dare to destroy it because they determined that the Demon Emperor’s soul was also in it, and if they carried out the destruction, such as setting it on fire, the suppression formation would definitely be destroyed.
Once the formation was destroyed, the Demon Emperor would awaken and would be able to rush out of the flames, which would be the equivalent of releasing him.
At the time, the Holy Temple Ancestor, but at the cost of his life, only barely managed to suppress it, and unable to destroy the Demon Emperor, wanting to destroy it would naturally be a pie in the sky.
Now, as long as it was determined that it was just a shell, and its soul was not in it, it could naturally be destroyed with confidence and boldness.
“This is something that I have discussed with the Grand Elder, and it cannot be done for the time being.”The Hall Master shook his head.
“Oh? Why?”Lin Yun was curious.
“We can’t be 100% sure right now, that the news is true, last time the matter of the spies, the scouts had passed on incorrect information, the scouts last time, said that he had spied in the Shadow Sect, and that you, Lin Yun, were a spy, so this time, the news may not be 100% incorrect either.”The Hall Master said.
Lin Yun was stunned, he didn’t think that there was such an inside story to the matter of the spy in the first place.
“Could it be that the spies have been bribed by the Shadow Sect to become double agents?”Lin Yun said in shock.
The Grand Elder shook his head, “No, the loyalty of the scouts is absolutely reliable, the only thing that’s possible is that the Shadow Sect knows that there’s a traitor amongst their people, so they’re deliberately releasing false information, including this time with the Demon Emperor’s Soul, we’re also afraid that, it’s because they’re deliberately releasing false information.”
Lin Yun nodded, understanding what the Hall Master and Grand Elder meant.
If this was fake news, the Shadow Sect was, most likely, trying to get the Temple to destroy the body, and once the Temple did that, if the soul of the Demon Emperor was in the body when it was destroyed, the Demon Emperor would wake up, and that would be the equivalent of releasing the Demon Emperor.
Therefore, in the absence of a hundred per cent certainty that the Demon Emperor’s soul is not in the body, the Holy Temple cannot do so rashly, even if there is only a zero point one per cent possibility, the Holy Temple does not dare to take the risk, because the consequences are unimaginable.
Of course, if the news was true, even if the Demon Emperor could not obtain a torso, she would be a headache-inducing enemy after her strength was restored.
It was just like the Red Flame Fire Ki in her human form, not as strong as in her demonic beast form, but still very powerful.
“Lin Yun, since you haven’t broken through to the Transformation God, next you’ll put all your thoughts on stepping into the Transformation God, and you don’t need to worry about anything else for the time being.”The Hall Master said.
“Alright Hall Master, I’ll take my leave then.”Lin Yun got up and arched his hand.
After Lin Yun left, inside the hall.
“Ai, once Lin Yun doesn’t break through to Transformation Spirit this time, I’m afraid it’ll take quite a bit of time before he wants to break through to Transformation Spirit.”The Hall Master shook his head and sighed, his gaze bleak.
The Grand Elder also sighed, “Given the current situation, I’m afraid …… that Lin Yun won’t be able to break through to a Transformation God until he’s in a head-on battle with the Demon Race.”
Crossing over from half-step Transformation God to Transformation God, without the help of external forces, the fastest would have to spend several years, the slower ones would have to spend several decades, or even hundreds of years, and even many cultivators would be stuck here for the rest of their lives, unable to move forward any further.
Cultivation, it was indeed time consuming, it took time to pile up.
In the past, they had hoped that Lin Yun would break through to Transformation Spirit before the Great War, and then they would use a massive amount of spirit stones to take Lin Yun to the next level, so that Lin Yun would be one of the top pillars of the Sanctuary Alliance in the Great War.
Now it seems that this idea of theirs is going to be dashed ……
……
On the other hand, after Lin Yun walked out of his bedchamber, a look of loss passed over his face.
Not being able to break through to Transformation Spirit in one fell swoop, it would be absolutely false to say that there was no disappointment at all in his heart.
Lin Yun also understood that most cultivators would face the hurdle of half-step Transformation Spirit, which wasn’t surprising, if it was placed in the past, Lin Yun could not be in a hurry and take things slowly step by step.
But now, the scourge of the demon race was close at hand, Lin Yun couldn’t wait, nor did he have time to wait any longer.
“Forget it, I can only take my time to perceive it, and at the same time spend more time upgrading the secret books I’ve learnt, even if I don’t manage to break through to Transformation Spirit when the great war starts, the secret books will be upgraded, and I’ll be able to increase my combat power a bit more.”Lin Yun muttered.
Lin Yun could only plan like this at the moment.
“Lin Yun!”
The voice of the Grand Elder came from behind him, and it turned out to be the Grand Elder chasing after him.
“Grand Elder, is there anything else?”Lin Yun turned his head to look at the Grand Elder.
“Lin Yun, about breaking through to Transformation Spirit, I’ll take you to a place that might help you.”The Grand Elder said.
“Is that so? Then thank you, Grand Elder.”
Lin Yun’s eyes naturally lit up when he heard it was related to breaking through to God of Transformation.
“Follow me!”
The Grand Elder directly flew up in the air, and Lin Yun quickly followed.
Following the Grand Elder, Lin Yun travelled all the way to one of the highest peaks in the Sacred Temple to the top of the mountain.
Standing here, looking forwards, one could overlook the entire Sacred Temple.
Looking backwards, there was the vast ocean that couldn’t be seen, and the scenery on both sides could be seen here.
