Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2389: Chapter 2388: This Is Way Too Unprincipled!

Hearing this, the Sovereign Witch quickly said, ”Are you planning to consume the Bodhi Seed here directly, seeking a breakthrough to become a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist?”

Lin Dong nodded and said, ”Time waits for no one, let’s breakthrough here directly.”

”Moreover, this Extremely Yin Place provides some assistance for my breakthrough.”

”Okay, since that’s the case, I’ll protect you!” With Lin Dong’s decision made, the Sovereign Witch naturally supported it fully.

Having made up his mind, Lin Dong took the Bodhi Seed out of the Dragon Ring!

This Bodhi Seed was left to him by his father.

”Father, where exactly are you? Once I break through to a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, can I open that Bronze Gate in the Dragon Ring?”

”What secret is truly hidden inside there?”

At the moment, Lin Dong rubbed the Bodhi Seed in his hand.

The Bodhi Seed radiated golden light in his hand.

The confusion in his eyes gradually became more resolute, and finally, without any hesitation, he swallowed the Bodhi Seed.

Whether at the peak of the Ninth Stage Grandmaster or at the peak of the Tenth Stage Grandmaster, breaking through to become a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist is a rather prolonged process.

Just like Qin Feng, who has been in seclusion for several months, but still hasn’t broken through.

Similarly, Lin Dong’s attempt to break through by consuming the Bodhi Seed is also unlikely to be accomplished overnight.

It might take a few days, or it might take ten days, or even several months.

Even Lin Dong himself cannot estimate how long it will take.

...

Meanwhile, in the outer world.

In Yinghua Country, a nation adorned with countless cherry blossoms, it is currently the season of full cherry blossoms.

The trees are bursting with cherry blossoms as brilliant as rosy clouds, and the air is filled with the subtle fragrance of flowers.

Yet beneath this seemingly peaceful sea of flowers, an undercurrent is surging.

Among the Four Great Shrines of Yinghua Country, the last shrine — Amaterasu Shrine — is situated atop a lofty mountain peak.

This place is not only a holy land for believers to worship but also a source of cultivation and power-seeking for martial artists.

Today, martial artists from all over Yinghua Country gathered here, their faces full of solemnity and anticipation.

In front of the main gate leading to Amaterasu Shrine, there is a cherry blossom road. The road stretches for more than ten kilometers, flanked by cherry blossom trees.

Today, on this cherry blossom road, the martial artists of Yinghua Country lined up in a long queue.

Clad in various martial arts attire, some wielded long swords, others carried broad swords, while some came empty-handed, but all had a determined glint in their eyes.

Their only purpose this trip is to request the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists of Amaterasu Shrine to come forth and execute the enemy known as the ’Light Messenger.’

The Light Messenger, a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist from the Nine-Headed Society.

Previously in good terms with the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, recently, however, he invaded the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, first extinguishing Susanoo Shrine, and then proceeding to annihilate Thunder God Shrine.

He has now entered Yagi Shrine. He hasn’t come out yet!

His actions have brought Yinghua Country an unprecedented crisis.

If the Four Great Shrines were to be wiped out, the Martial Arts World of Yinghua Country would have no foundation.

The Light Messenger and the Nine-Headed Society this time aim to cut off the martial roots of Yinghua Country.

This affair has spread through the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, prompting martial artists to gather at the last Amaterasu Shrine.

Amaterasu Shrine, as the head of the Four Great Shrines, is the most revered place among the martial artists of Yinghua Country.

Its status is akin to the Western Heaven Thunder Sound Temple among Buddhists. Similar to the Three Pure Ancestral Grounds among the Taoist Clan.

As the martial artists arrived one after another, bell sounds also emanated from Amaterasu Shrine.

The melodious bell sound reverberated through the mountain valley, seemingly recounting an ancient and solemn history.

Before long, the main gate of the shrine opened slowly, and a white-haired elder stepped out leisurely.

He is Amaterasu Well, the Clan Chief in the secular world of Amaterasu Shrine, and his strength has reached the peak of the Ninth Stage Grandmaster. Just a step away from becoming a true Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

At this moment, standing on the steps, Amaterasu Well swept his gaze over the martial artists below, his eyes deep and resolute.

He took a deep breath, and then slowly began to speak:

”I already know your intentions. Light Messenger is indeed a formidable enemy, but our martial artists of Amaterasu Shrine will never retreat.”

As he finished speaking, the elder took out a scroll with yellowing edges from his bosom, raised it high, and announced in a sonorous voice:

”We, Amaterasu Shrine, in the name of the entire Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, challenge the Light Messenger. Our country’s martial artists wish to face you in a decisive duel, life or death determined by the sword. We hope you accept the challenge and partake in this glorious battle!”

The sound of the challenge book echoed in the mountain valley for a long time.

Upon hearing it, the martial artists’ blood boiled with excitement, and they shouted in unison: ”Amaterasu Shrine’s might! Execute the Light Messenger!”

With the martial artists’ shouts, the deep sounds of sword clashing also came from within Amaterasu Shrine.

After the challenge book was read, the martial artists within Amaterasu Shrine began to take action. Their figures faintly visible in the shadows of the shrine, a solemn killing aura filled the air.

Simultaneously, the news of Yinghua Country’s Amaterasu Shrine coming forth, under the martial name of the entire Yinghua Country Martial Arts World to challenge the Light Messenger, quickly spread like wildfire.

On the Martial Arts Dark Web, this news quickly topped the lists.

Many began to discuss.

”What did the Light Messenger do to the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World? To provoke tens of thousands of Yinghua Country martial artists to petition and go to Amaterasu Shrine to issue a national challenge letter!”

”Amaterasu Shrine, as the head of the Four Great Shrines of Yinghua Country. As the place of faith for the martial artists of the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, they ordinarily wouldn’t easily come forth.”

”Only when confronting a national enemy of Yinghua Country would they come forth. What has the Light Messenger done to the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World to become a national enemy?”

”I heard he obliterated Susanoo Shrine, Thunder God Shrine among the Four Great Shrines. And Yagi Shrine is seemingly on the brink of danger as well!”

”What? Is the Light Messenger that fierce? Isn’t he supposed to have only First Heaven Heavenly Realm strength? Yet he managed to extinguish the three great shrines of Yinghua Country: Susanoo, Thunder God, and Yagi?”

”...”

On this day, various martial arts forums were abuzz discussing this matter.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Nine-Headed Society.

At the moment, the three Great Divine Envoys of the Nine-Headed Society naturally also became aware of this matter.

The three sat at the conference table, with the Emissary of Gold and the Commanding Envoy both looking at the Light Messenger.

The Emissary of Wisdom couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s going on? Light Messenger, when did you go and destroy Yinghua Country’s Susanoo, Thunder God, and Yagi Shrines?”

The Light Messenger, looking bewildered, said, ”I didn’t.”

”I’ve been here the entire time.”

”And with my strength, how could I possibly obliterate Yinghua Country’s Susanoo, Thunder God, and Yagi Shrines?”

”Their shrines have Guardians of the Heavenly Realm Level. Furthermore, their Three Great Spirits and Souls are not something I can deal with...”

He truly appeared dumbfounded, how could a mere First Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist like him be accused of obliterating the three great shrines of Yinghua Country? Isn’t this framing a bit too much?

The Emissary of Wisdom asked in bewilderment, ”Then could it be that the martial artists of Yinghua Country have wrongly accused you?”

”Of course,” the Light Messenger replied, ”I haven’t done those things at all.”

”If you didn’t do it, then why do they all claim it was you? Even labeling you a national enemy!” The Emissary of Wisdom exclaimed in surprise.

At this time, the Emissary of Gold’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly said:

”Perhaps it’s Master Lin!”

”That Master Lin has mastered a very powerful Easy Change Technique. Even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists can’t see through him.”

”Previously, he used that Easy Change Technique to impersonate someone called Dong Lin. He even tricked the Qin Family Patriarch, that Triple-Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.”

”So this time, the person causing chaos in Yinghua Country, obliterating the three great shrines and committing atrocities, is most likely him!”

Hearing this, the Light Messenger was taken aback and murmured, ”Boss means Master Lin disguised himself as me, committed all sorts of misdeeds in Yinghua Country, and then let me take the blame?”

His whole being went numb.

This is simply too devoid of martial ethics!
