Among the five people beside Zhang Xing, three of them had auras that were no weaker than the two elders, but they had clearly not reached the Venerable Realm.
This shocked them. A person from a second-rate country actually had such powerful strength. It was really unimaginable.
Not to mention a second-rate country, even a third-rate or fourth-rate country did not have the financial resources to nurture a Venerable Realm expert.
High-level Demon Emperors and Combat Emperors could be said to have reached the limit of human cultivation.
To break through to the next level, not only did it require countless treasures, but it also required a person's comprehension of magic and martial arts.
If one could not comprehend it in a day, it would cost a day's worth of resources. If one could not comprehend it in a year, it would cost a year's worth of resources.
Some high-level Emperors had cultivated for more than a hundred years and still could not comprehend the next level until the last moment of their lives.
Therefore, those third-rate or fourth-rate empires could not produce a single Venerable Realm Magician or Warrior in tens of millions of years.
Of course, those clans that relied on the support of fifth-rate or above empires did not count.
Then, this Zhang Xing's background was a little mysterious. Could he really be the descendant of Holy Lord Ana?
But history did not record this great woman getting married and having children.
She was the Holy Lady chosen by the Holy Temple when she was young. She was brought to the Holy Temple to be nurtured as soon as she was born, and she became the youngest female Holy Temple Lord in history.
More than two hours later, Zhang Xing woke up from his meditation.
"Sir Zhang Xing, you've worked hard. I thank you on behalf of the Holy Temple and all the humans on the continent."
The two elders looked solemn as they bowed to Zhang Xing.
The disciples behind him followed suit and performed the same etiquette.
"There's no need to thank me. The people you should thank the most are senior Ana and the 365 seniors here, as well as those who died in battle for humanity."
Zhang Xing turned around and bowed respectfully to the formation.
After that, the two elders led the eight disciples to the front of the formation and knelt down.
"Disciples of the Holy Temple of Light greet Holy Lord Ana. Please show yourself!"
The ten of them prostrated themselves on the ground and waited sincerely.
After about five minutes, the light on the array formation lit up.
"Get up. Are you finally willing to see me?"
Ana's figure appeared in the air. She did not know that something had happened to the Holy Temple, and she seemed to blame them.
"Please forgive us, Holy Lord. There's a reason for this. If not for Sir Zhang Xing, we would not have known the situation here."
Then, one of the elders got up from the ground and told him about the disappearance of the two former Palace Masters every two hundred years.
When Ana heard that there were no Saints in the last 800 years, she fell silent.
After a long time, a mellow and melodious sigh resounded throughout this space.
"Sigh …"
"Who would have thought that the battle eight hundred years ago would cause our Temple to collapse completely."
"The Divine Hall has no Saint, so what's the use of the word Saint?"
"A glorious era has come to an end. I thought that after eight hundred years of recuperation, the continent would be able to create another glorious era.
"I didn't expect that it wasn't just the Holy Sanctum that had declined. The entire human race had become so weak!"
"There are trillions of people in the Holy Dragon Continent, but only five Saints are left. How sad!"
"I'm only left with a sliver of consciousness. I can't help you. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, whether you're strong or weak, it's all up to you!"
"I have to thank you, Zhang Xing. After the formation is repaired, it won't be a problem for it to last a few decades."
"But I'll have to trouble you in the future. Get the people from the Holy Temple to collect the materials. Come and take a look every ten years."
"Also … let's forget about it. Only Zhang Xing can enter this place. Send someone to stand guard outside and report to me if anything happens."
