Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Yang Haohan was very satisfied with Long Haoyu's answer. His eyes suddenly became very melancholy. He opened his mouth several times as if to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back.

"Forget it, let's go back first!"

"I'll take you all away from here first!"

"Then you can go back and focus on preparing for the Demon Hunter Selection Competition!"

Yang Haohan said no more, and the golden light enveloped the three of them as they headed out of Qiling Valley.

After taking Long Haoyu away from Qiling Valley and dropping him off at the hotel, he then signaled for Long Haoyu to go back and continue preparing for the competition.

After Long Haoyu left for a while, Han Qian asked Yang Haohan, "Palace Master, were you planning to tell Haoyu the true situation of the battle between humans and demons?"

“That’s right!” Yang Haohan replied, “Before we have enough power to overthrow the rule of the demon race, Haoyu’s madness may very well lead to the complete annihilation of humanity by the demon race.”

Han Qian's expression was very heavy, and she was unwilling to talk about the true situation of the battlefield between humans and demons.

Yang Haohan ultimately didn't say anything, perhaps because he was worried that revealing this situation would affect Long Haoyu's development.

Imagine a young knight who sees demons as his ultimate enemy and wishes he could kill as many as possible.

In the end, they were told that the demons were currently beyond their power to resist. Once that absolute belief was disturbed, the consequences were predictable.

"Fortunately, I managed to keep my mouth shut, otherwise it would have been a real mistake."

"But I must say, Haoyu is indeed a genius."

Yang Haohan was filled with emotion, reflecting on everything that had just happened in Qiling Valley, and his melancholy expression gradually faded.

Han Qian said undeniably, "Haoyu is indeed a genius, but I don't understand why Xingyu didn't bring Haoyu and his younger brother back to the Alliance back then."

"Perhaps Xingyu had his reasons, but he didn't do it back then. Now that I know, I can't let things continue to develop this way."

Yang Haohan pondered for a moment, then his eyes hardened as he said, "Moreover, Haoyu possesses the Six Paths Spirit Furnace, which is comparable to or even surpasses the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace."

"I need to make some specific arrangements for his upbringing to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Han Qian listened to Yang Haohan's words in disbelief, as if she understood the meaning and decision hidden in Yang Haohan's words.

"Palace Master, are you planning to carry out what I just requested?" Han Qian asked in surprise.

Yang Haohan nodded and said, "That's right. I should go and ask my brother to come out of seclusion. Haoyu will definitely become the hope of our alliance in the future."

"We must not let the flame of hope die out in our hands before it has grown, because none of us know how many years it will be before the next hope comes."

"The war between humans and demons should end, and the sacrifices of countless compatriots should cease."

Chapter 128 The Opportunity of the Divine Beast, On the Eve of the Tournament

Han Qian remained silent.

Yang Haohan's words touched upon what he had seen and heard that he had kept hidden in his heart all these years.

The Demon Hunter Selection Competition is an essential journey for the younger generation of the six holy temples to advance to the higher levels.

He became the current Paladin Commander of the Knights Temple because he had made great contributions in the Demon Hunter Corps in the past, but he also witnessed many sacrifices.

In the six thousand years of struggle, they killed many demons, but humans also sacrificed a great deal; the phrase "rivers of blood" would not be an exaggeration.

If there were a choice, it would indeed be time to bring this conflict to an end, so that the people of the six great temples would not have to rush to the front lines of the battlefield, and so that ordinary people in both the human and demon territories would no longer have to tremble in fear of being ambushed and killed by demons.

“You’re right, Lord. We can’t be sure when the next hope will come. Now that hope has been presented to us, we can’t let this flame of hope go out.”

Han Qian chimed in, "But Your Highness, your sudden decision must be related to Haoyu's magical beast companion, right?"

As she pondered these questions, Han Qian recalled the way the white beast had enjoyed cuddling the Six Paths Spirit Furnace in the hotel, and its wary demeanor as it protected it.

Powerful spirit furnaces all have certain characteristics, which is an undeniable fact. Just like when Long Haoyu touched the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace to solve Cai'er's backlash problem, Sheng Yue was furious.

The characteristics of the Six Paths Spirit Furnace are currently unknown, but it would certainly not be easy for anyone other than Long Haoyu to touch it.

The fact that the little white beast could do that much is enough to show that it is extraordinary and has amazing qualities that deserve attention.

"It's also related to that little white beast."

Yang Haohan replied, "The fact that the Six Paths Spirit Furnace could remain unharmed in his hands is something we should pay attention to."

"However, it is still unclear what kind of magical beast that little white beast is. Perhaps after my brother comes out of the mountain, with the Starry Sky Divine Beast around, we will be able to investigate these matters clearly."

Yang Haohan analyzed these matters methodically. He possessed the keen insight of a great temple master and did not neglect other matters because of his focus on the Six Paths Spirit Furnace.

Mentioning these matters, his curiosity about the white beast intensified, and he added, "If we could get help from the Starry Sky Divine Beast, perhaps we could find out whether that white beast is also a divine beast-level being!"

"If it is a divine beast, then it can definitely become a good partner with the star divine beast, which can be of more help to Haoyu's growth."

Han Qianming understood Yang Haohan's arrangements and admired them greatly.

The Starry Sky Divine Beast is a true divine beast, capable of providing significant assistance even to veteran Yang Haoyu.

If the white beast is also a divine beast, it can only be described as a juvenile divine beast. It is not impossible for it to receive help from the starry sky divine beast and quickly grow into a true divine beast.

When Long Haoyu has a true divine beast as his magical beast partner, along with the Six Paths Spirit Furnace and 100 points of innate inner spiritual power talent, he will be able to achieve his goal.

Han Qian dared not imagine how fierce Long Haoyu would be in that situation, nor could she imagine how far the struggle between humans and demons could go at that time.

Even though the future is very uncertain, it is beneficial to Long Haoyu in every way, and it can allow Long Haoyu to obtain more powerful weapons.

"Alright, we should head back now." Yang Haohan spoke again: "You'll take more responsibility for the Demon Hunter Team selection competition. I'll go and ask my brother to come out of seclusion."

"Understood, Lord!"

……

in the hotel.

Long Haoyu returned here.

Because Long Haoyu was initially taken away by Han Qian and Sheng Yue, Ye Hua knew that nothing would happen, but he was still a little worried.

Not only was he worried, but Long Haochen and Li Xin had also arrived in his room, waiting for Long Haoyu to return.

Long Haoyu had just returned and was about to go back to his room when Ye Hua, who had heard the noise, appeared in the corridor: "Haoyu, come here for a moment."

Long Haoyu responded and went to Ye Hua's room, where he immediately saw Long Haochen and Li Xin waiting there.

"elder brother."

"Brother Haoyu."

Long Haochen and Li Xin shouted at the same time.

The two looked Long Haoyu up and down, and only after confirming that nothing had happened did their hearts finally settle down.

Because Ye Hua didn't tell them the specifics, their instinct was to worry about Long Haoyu.

"Haoyu, has everything been resolved with the teacher taking you there?" Ye Hua asked with concern.

Long Haoyu replied, "It's been resolved. After I came back, the Palace Master came to see me, which is why I haven't been in my room."

"Teacher, Haochen, Sister Xin'er, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Hearing that nothing was wrong, the group was relieved and expressed their relief that everything was alright.

Seeing the others' performance, Long Haoyu suddenly remembered what he needed to do next: "By the way, teacher, the preliminary round of the Demon Hunter Team selection competition starts the day after tomorrow."

"I plan to meditate and cultivate in my room for the next two days. I won't come out unless there's something else. I'm letting you know in advance so you won't worry about me."

Ye Hua and the other two nodded in unison, thinking that Long Haoyu probably wanted to be in better condition for the competition, so they didn't ask any further questions.

Having informed them of these matters in advance, Long Haoyu sat there for a while before returning to his own room.

Back in the room, the little white beast immediately jumped off his shoulder, stood on the bed with its two little paws, and kept rubbing them together in front of it.

It seemed as if it wanted Long Haoyu to release the Six Paths Spirit Furnace so that it could continue its life of absorbing energy.

Long Haoyu smiled slightly, and after releasing the Six Paths Spirit Furnace, he let it fly into the little white beast's paw.

After obtaining the Six Paths Spirit Furnace, the little white beast rolled around on the bed, thoroughly enjoying itself and not wanting to leave the Six Paths Spirit Furnace for even a quarter of an hour.

"Little guy, I'll let you absorb the furnace if you want, but don't forget what I told you before. If you don't take care of Haochen's matter for me..."

"Then I'll have no choice but to painfully stew you, understand?"

The little white beast had gotten used to being intimidated and spent some time in a drunken stupor within the furnace before carefully holding the Six Paths Spirit Furnace with one small paw and patting its chest with the other.

Even though she can't say anything and gives off a cute yet unreliable vibe, she's acting like she can trust me to handle things.

Long Haoyu selectively ignored the white beast's funny antics, gave some instructions, and then simply sat cross-legged on the bed.

He planned to spend the next two days in the shadow space.

Consciousness is immersed in the shadow space.

Chapter 129 Hao Chen's Reclusion, Han Yu's Awakening

Four days later, at the hotel.

Long Haoyu woke up from the shadow space.

For four days, he was immersed in discussing with the Shadow Instructor the training for traversing the Hell Path.

It may seem like only a short time, but he has died just as many times in these past few days, almost to the point of being unable to count.

The Shadow Instructor has never been ambiguous when it comes to matters of cultivation; if he can kill someone in one move, he will never waste a second move.

"Brother, we should head out now. It's your turn to compete today." At that moment, Long Haochen's voice rang out from outside the room.

Long Haoyu quickly tidied up, carried Wu Feng on his back, and went out. In fact, he had woken up once two days ago when the Demon Hunter Team selection competition started.

Because of the bye system for fifth-tier professionals, he didn't need to participate in the matches, so he watched for a while and then returned to continue focusing on his cultivation.

Today is the day he will play after having two byes in the previous rounds. His first opponent is Han Yu, who had previously initiated the challenge.

"Let's go!" Long Haoyu walked out of the room, his face extremely relaxed.

Long Haochen looked at his older brother as if he were a monster: "Brother, Brother Han Yu is also a fifth-tier knight, aren't you worried about the competition at all?"

Long Haoyu smiled slightly and said, "Do you still remember the times when your brother accompanied you in your cultivation?"

"Remember!"

Long Haochen nodded, but then asked in confusion, "Wait, brother, what does the scene of you accompanying me in cultivation have to do with today's competition?"

"How can it be unrelated? I've fought with you at the same level quite a few times before."
