Throne of Seals: The God of Magic Descends, the Demonic Tide Breaks at Dawn

Chapter 97 No one below the eighth rank is allowed to go to the Demon Realm!

The next day.

Lin Ye and Cai'er are having breakfast.

The fiery and energetic Saint Moon burst through the door and walked in.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Ye and Cai'er.

It was as if they were sizing up a prisoner.

Lin Ye paused, his hand holding the spoon still, and Cai'er also stopped chewing. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Saint Moon's anger almost overflowed from his deep eyes. He slammed his hand on the table, the crisp sound making the bowl of soy milk on the table tremble.

Do you two know you've done wrong?

Saint Moon's voice was like ice, "We were all worried sick during the month you disappeared, especially Yang Haohan and Ling Xiao. They waited outside Dream Paradise for almost a month, only to hear that you had been sent to the heart of the Demon Realm..."

His gaze swept over Cai'er's pale face, and his tone became more pained.

"Cai'er, you are the future hope of the Assassin's Temple. How can you treat your life so lightly?"

Cai'er lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyes.

"Great-grandfather, I don't want Xiaoye to face danger alone."

“You…sigh!” Saint Moon sighed helplessly.

He turned to Lin Ye, his eyes sharp as knives, "You are also the hope of all mankind, but this time it's really too risky!"

Lin Ye put down the spoon and stood up.

“Great-grandfather, you are too worried. We were protected by the goddess of nature, so we returned safely, didn’t we?”

Then Lin Ye summoned Ye Xiaolei, and the rich aura of natural life instantly swept through the entire room.

Just leave Saint Moon standing still!
"Is this the aura of the goddess of nature?!"

"Hehe~ That's right, this mission was specially authorized by my sister, a perk prepared especially for Lin Ye~!"

With her hands on her hips, Ye Xiaolei confidently explained the ins and outs of the mission in detail.

For a moment, Saint Moon stood there, stunned.

“Great-grandfather, we’re all fine now, aren’t we?” Cai’er tugged at Sheng Yue’s arm and shook it, acting coquettishly.

"Humph!"

Saint Moon's anger gradually subsided. "The Holy Alliance has decreed that from today onwards, Cai'er, you will be in seclusion in the Assassin's Temple. You are not allowed to step out of the temple until you reach the eighth rank!"

He paused, then looked at Lin Ye with an undeniable air of authority, "As for you, Lin Ye, the Magic Temple's library and training rooms are always open to you. You can bring up the matter of going out on missions again when you break through to the fifth level of the eighth rank!"

Cai'er suddenly looked up: "Great-grandfather! Eighth rank...!"

Saint Moon interrupted her, saying seriously, "Now that the Demon Emperor is seriously injured and the various Demon Gods are guarding their respective territories, although they are still sending demons to attack the six passes, this is the most golden period, the most suitable time for cultivation!"

He took a deep breath, his tone softening slightly but still firm, "I am your great-grandfather, and also the vice hall master of the Holy Alliance. I cannot stand by and watch you risk your lives."

"If you don't meet the requirements, even if the sky falls, don't even think about stepping out of the temple gates."

"..."

Looking at the white hair at Sheng Yue's temples, Lin Ye suddenly understood the concern behind her sternness.

He tugged at Cai'er's sleeve and said softly, "We understand, Great-Grandfather."

Cai'er bit her lower lip and finally nodded, but she tightened her grip on Lin Ye's hand slightly, her knuckles turning white.

Saint Moon nodded in satisfaction. As she turned to leave, the hem of her robe stirred a gust of wind. Just then, Lin Ye interrupted her.

"Wait a minute, great-grandfather, I'll give you the demon corpses I've killed along the way. Help me take them to the Holy City to sell them for merit points."

Then, to Saint Moon's astonishment, the entire backyard was littered with demon corpses.

"Good lad, no wonder you stirred up trouble in the demon's den..." Saint Moon took out two storage rings to store the demon corpses.

He then waved goodbye and headed towards the holy city.

For a moment, only Lin Ye and Cai'er remained in the room.

"Cai'er, I will break through to the fifth level of the eighth rank as soon as possible!"

Lin Ye gently took Cai'er's slender hand in his, his tone extremely firm.

Cai'er nodded; she had always trusted Lin Ye.

……

The Magic Temple.

Lin Ye landed safely in the magic airship and arrived at the magic temple.

Lin Ye stepped onto the obsidian ground of the temple square, which produced a crisp echo.

Looking up, twelve pillars engraved with magical runes supported the dome, and the eternal flame in the center of the square danced in the holy white jade pool, making two figures on the steps even clearer.
Deputy Hall Master Lin Chen wore a purple-gold magic robe inlaid with holy magic crystals, and the six-pointed star badge on his chest shimmered in the firelight.

Temple Master Li Zhengzhi's golden embroidered robe was embroidered with the emblem of the Magic Temple, and the staff symbolizing the Temple Master's position rested on his shoulder, with the magic crystal at the top of the staff emitting a soft halo.

"The Holy Alliance has ordered that for the next three years, the Temple Master and I will help you cultivate and improve."

Lin Chen's voice carried his usual authority, but his steps were faster than those of an elderly mage.

"Three years? Isn't that a bit too long?"

Lin Ye's lips curled slightly. With the help of the Eternal Tower, three years would be enough for him to advance to the ninth rank!
Don't forget, in the original novel, after Long Haochen was resurrected, the entire team took four years to directly reach level 9, level 2, and level 3!
You should know that each level of the ninth rank represents a span of 100,000 spiritual power!

"You brat, I know you're incredibly talented, but you still need to stay humble at all times." Lin Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Lin Chen's gaze swept over his grandson twice, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the communication talisman at his waist, the talisman still bearing the holy light aura from his last negotiation with the Knights' Temple.

"You brat, do you know your current identity? Those demon spies hiding in the shadows wish they could tear you to pieces. But Grandpa has already prepared the Starry Sky Chamber for you."

“Grandpa, teacher,” Lin Ye raised his hand and pressed his temples, the fatigue from the journey dissipating considerably the moment he stepped into the temple, “I heard that the temple’s Star Essence Pool can draw upon the power of stars to refine elements, and I want to go into seclusion there.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengzhi clapped his hands and chuckled: "That suits me perfectly. The Moon Gazing Pavilion beside the Star Marrow Pool has been cleared of all guards, leaving only three eighth-order Saint Magisters to protect the Dharma outside."

"Moreover, the star pattern array at the bottom of the pool was drawn by ten holy magic masters a hundred years ago, which can minimize external magical interference."

As he spoke, he took out a fine gold token from his pocket, which was engraved with intricate runes.

"This is the key to the Star Marrow Pool. No one but you, me, and Vice Hall Master Lin can open it."

Lin Chen suddenly reached out and pinched the back of Lin Ye's neck, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible heartache.

"Your grandma was just saying yesterday that she wanted to pick all the Concentration Flowers she cultivated to make tea for you. Those flowers have absorbed the morning dew for thirty years, and they are the best at calming restless spiritual energy. But don't worry, the flow of time in the secret chamber has been adjusted. Three months outside can be equivalent to nine months of cultivation time inside."

When Lin Ye took the token, his fingertips touched the miniature defensive array engraved on the cold metal, and his eyes welled up slightly: "Grandpa, you always think so thoroughly about everything for me."

"Oh, right, and this too, a forbidden spell scroll." Lin Chen took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve, and inside lay a scroll of animal hide that shimmered with a faint light.

“I had three layers of seals added to the edge of the scroll, which can only be broken by your spiritual power.”

Lin Ye looked at the forbidden spell scroll with curiosity; this was the first time he had ever seen a forbidden spell scroll so closely.

"I'll show you later when I have time. Let's go get some food first."

Lin Ye nodded quickly, then asked softly.

Where is my brother, Lin Xin?

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then turned around with a look of relief on his face.

"He... has finally overcome his psychological difficulties."
