...

"Thank you for guiding us. Please wait here," Yang Haohan said to the three elders.

"Yes." The three elders bowed respectfully.

Yang Haohan walked toward Yuehui and said solemnly, "Chairman, only one person can enter the sealed cave at a time, so we will wait here."

"The ancestors who are sleeping among them have a wealth of experience and have endured thousands of years of solitude. Their temperaments are inevitably somewhat unusual, so we must deal with them with caution."

"If you encounter a situation that you cannot handle, simply infuse your spiritual power into this token, and you will be teleported back immediately."

As he spoke, he handed a finely crafted gold gemstone token to Moonbeam.

Yuehui took the token, nodded to Yang Haohan, and then turned to walk towards another passage in the center of the underground plaza.

He had barely taken a step when the three elders who were guiding him stepped forward at the same time and stopped him.

One of them hesitated and looked at Yang Haohan: "Palace Master Yang, this seems... against the rules?"

Yang Haohan smiled slightly: "I forgot to inform the three elders that this is Yuehui—the first chairman of the New Federation, the newly promoted titled demon hunter group 'Eternal Dawn,' and also the successor to the Temple Master of the Magic Temple. He is fully qualified to enter the Sealed Cave."

Upon hearing this, the three elders couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

Although they have been isolated from the world for many years and know little about the dramatic changes in the outside world, they had heard Yang Haohan mention the formation of the new alliance.

The three immediately bowed and greeted the Chairman.

"Please rise, all three of you."

Yuehui raised her hand to support them, and a gentle and pure spiritual energy was quietly released, lifting the three of them up.

The three elders of the Knights Hall felt the pure and refined spiritual energy, and their expressions showed even more respect.

Holding the token, Yuehui slowly walked towards the center of the magic circle engraved with ancient runes.

He closed his eyes, focusing his mind on everything around him. The instant his eyes closed, his spiritual power surged forth like a tidal wave, enveloping the entire Holy Mountain of Knights.

Both Yang Haohan and the three elders felt a slight loss of consciousness at that moment.

This time, even Yang Haohan couldn't help but show surprise.

What incredible mental strength!
With the combined effect of the Lightbringer's constitution bestowed upon him by Elex and Moonshine's own vast spiritual power, he quickly perceived the answer he was seeking.

The entire Holy Mountain of Knights is actually constructed from nine light magic arrays, one of which is a core array and the other eight are interlocked outer arrays.

Its layout and structure are exactly the same as the ancient elven magic array in the Thunder Emperor's Secret Realm.

The only difference is that the former belongs to light, while the latter wields thunder.

(Is this a legacy of the ancient elves?)
With a thought, Yuehui opened her eyes and raised the Holy Mountain Token high above her head.

As spiritual energy was slowly poured in, the token suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The next moment, all nine magic arrays within the Knight's Holy Mountain resonated in unison.

A golden ripple spread out from beneath his feet, illuminating the long-dormant ancient elven runes on the ground.

At this moment, Moonlight clearly received several distinct sensations from the Holy Mountain Token: a defensive array, a killing array, an amplification array...

And the last path is the one that leads to the sealed land!
With a slight thought, a golden pillar of light rose from beneath his feet, instantly enveloping his entire body.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the magic circle.

The golden light around him slowly dissipated, and Yuehui opened his eyes again, feeling a chilling aura wash over him. He walked slowly forward along the ancient path paved with blue bricks.

The air was thick with decay and staleness, and a bone-chilling cold was constantly spreading from the depths of the passage.

Despite possessing the constitution of a child of light bestowed upon him by Elex, the essence of Moonlight's spiritual power is still lightning, making it impossible to directly cast light magic.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he called out softly, "Ya Ting."

A faint light flashed, and Ya Ting landed lightly on his shoulder.

A warm halo gathered at her fingertips, illuminating the path ahead and quietly purifying the surrounding murky air.

The passage was longer than Moonbeam had anticipated. The deeper they went, the clearer the chilling aura became.

But he could tell that the chill did not originate from the darkness; rather, it was like the pure and chilling aura of a spiritual spring.

(No wonder he chose to rest here forever...)
After continuing diagonally downwards for nearly 300 meters, the passage finally came to an end.

At the end of the gate stands a tall, arched stone gate, intricately carved with figures. Upon closer inspection, it seems to depict the fierce battles that humanity first fought against the demons.

Above the door are four powerful and ancient characters:
Eternal Hero

To be honest, Moonbeam doesn't have much special feeling for "Eternal Heroes".

His identity ultimately belongs to the demon race, or rather, to the mixed-race group. Although he also has human blood, he is far less connected to this historical lineage than the people of the Holy Alliance.

But when he thought of his past life, of those martyrs who died for the revolution and now sleep eternally in the snow-capped mountains and icy plains, a sense of respect still welled up in his heart.

Thinking of this, Yuehui slowly bowed to the four characters "Eternal Hero" on the stone gate and solemnly paid his respects.

After getting up, he steadily inserted the Holy Mountain Token in his hand into the only groove in the center of the stone gate.

"Ding--"

A clear, melodious sound, like striking crystal, rang out and echoed through the passageway.

Immediately afterwards, the two stone doors gleamed with a serene light, while only the Sacred Mountain Token continued to shimmer with brilliant golden light.

Then, the stone door slid open silently to both sides, just like a modern automatic door.

The moment the stone door opened, a chilling aura ten times more intense than before rushed out.

Even with Moonbeam's strength approaching the fifth level of the ninth rank, he couldn't help but shudder.

Before me lay a deep, dark cave, its interior obscured by darkness, yet the moonlight offered a glimpse into what slumbered within.

He bowed slightly and said in a loud voice, "Moonlight, leader of the [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Team, pays respects to all our ancestors!"

His voice echoed for a long time in the sealed cave and passageway, its lingering sound never fading.

After a moment of silence, a slightly stiff voice came from deep within, with a peculiar tone, pausing briefly every two or three words:
"Although I am curious... why a young man came this time... your respectful attitude on both occasions... has made me accept you."

Moonbeam straightened up and performed a standard mage's salute, replying, "Our ancestors have sacrificed so much for the Alliance and for humanity; I, as their junior, will naturally show them utmost respect."

"Mage Li?" Another hoarse female voice suddenly rang out from the other side. "Are you from the Magic Temple? I remember they had a kid named Li Zhengzhi who had decent talent, right? What, is he dead?"

“Grandpa is still alive,” Yuehui replied calmly. “It’s just that the new Federation has just been established, and I have been elected by the various palace masters to serve as the first chairman. Therefore, I have come here to communicate with you seniors.”

"The New Federation?"
