Chapter 440 Ancient Sages
The medieval period was a pivotal era, a time of great intellectual ferment and diverse schools of thought.
In ancient times, gods descended upon the world, ruling over heaven and earth, where order prevailed. Both the ancient celestial court and the ancient Buddhist sects had extremely strict rules. Ordinary people, protected by the gods, lived easy and joyful lives. It was a peaceful era.
However, since the end of the ancient era, all the ancient gods either died or disappeared, and the world suddenly lost its order. Demons wreaked havoc on the world, feeding on ordinary humans. It can be said to be the darkest era in human history.
In the darkest of times, the gods of humanity emerged, turning the tide and saving humankind from the brink of extinction. During the Age of the Holy Saints, human civilization reached a new historical peak.
Compared to the ancient times, which exist only in legends, the events of the medieval period are still passed down by many people. The story of the medieval saints storming the demon palace and saving the people from suffering is especially popular.
The instance that Lin Fei has descended upon this time is the medieval era, an era of intellectual ferment and legendary sages.
……
As soon as Lin Fei entered the instance space, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding!"
"The main quest has been issued. Please check it promptly!"
"The system space has been sealed. Except for exchange items, all items are unusable in the instance."
……
Similar to the previous instance mission, this time, the system also temporarily sealed Lin Fei's storage space and his own inner world space.
Apart from items redeemed within system dungeons, all other items cannot be used within dungeons.
This also includes Lin Fei's most powerful Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldier.
Lin Fei's Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers have now completely merged with the divine positions of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, each possessing celestial-level combat power. Among them, Yuan Yuanshan, who merged with the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, the leader of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, has combat power approaching the Earth Immortal realm.
However, according to the system's assessment, those Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers were also considered external items, and were sealed and unusable within the system's instance space. This was not good news for Lin Fei.
Fortunately, Yuan Tiangang was not only a Heavenly Ghost General but also one of Lin Fei's Six Paths Primordial Spirits, so he wasn't sealed away by the system. This is because the Six Paths Primordial Spirits were Lin Fei's own power, something he cultivated.
Lin Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief at being able to use the Six Paths Primordial Spirit.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei began to examine the main quest issued by the system this time.
Main Quest: The Sages Invade the Demon Palace
Mission Background: In the medieval era, demons wreaked havoc on the world, causing great suffering to ordinary people. Human saints stormed into the demon palace, the sacred land of the demon race, and wiped out the ten great demon saints in one fell swoop, restoring the glorious era of the human race.
Mission Description: Accompany the human saints to the Demon Palace, the sacred land of the demon race, and defeat the ten great demon saints. Obtain the demon race's supreme treasure, the "Demon Summoning Banner".
Task difficulty: Undetermined
Mission Rewards: Rewards will be granted based on the completion rating. (Note: For each of the Ten Great Demon Saints defeated, the completion rating will increase by 10%. Obtaining the Demon Summoning Banner, a supreme treasure of the Demon Race, will increase the completion rating by an additional 50%.)
……
The sages storm the demon palace—this is Lin Fei's main quest in this instance.
Unlike last time, when the main mission was simply to keep Lin Fei alive, this time there are many more missions.
Not only is Lin Fei's cultivation level higher than before, but it is also clear that the difficulty of this ancient era dungeon is not as high as that of the Western Paradise, and its danger level is far less than that of the Western Paradise.
From the main quests released by this system, Lin Fei also guessed what era he had arrived in.
The entire medieval period is an extremely vague and broad concept, spanning from the disappearance of the ancient gods to the establishment of the Southern Tang and Northern Han dynasties. This period, covering tens of thousands of years, can all be considered the medieval period.
According to the information in the system's main quest, Lin Fei's arrival was likely before the ancient saints stormed the demon palace, when the demon race was still wreaking havoc on the entire land of China.
"The Saints stormed the Demon Palace?" A smile crept onto Lin Fei's lips. He was also very familiar with the story of the Saints storming the Demon Palace, and he never imagined that he would one day be involved.
Since it is the Sages who have stormed the Demon Palace, Lin Fei's first priority is undoubtedly to find the location of the human Sages. As for the demon race that is currently running rampant in the world, with Lin Fei's current cultivation level, he is naturally not afraid. Not to mention ordinary demon races, even if the Ten Great Sages of the ancient demon race, who are renowned throughout the world, came, Lin Fei would not be afraid in the slightest.
Just as Lin Fei was about to search for the whereabouts of the human saints, a startled voice suddenly came from behind him: "Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you a spy from the demon race?"
Lin Fei turned his head and saw a human boy looking at him warily, with undisguised fear in his eyes.
If Lin Fei's guess is correct, this is precisely the time when the human saints have not yet stormed the demon palace, and the demon race is at its most rampant. Therefore, it is not surprising that the young man before him is so wary of him. After all, the demon race in the Middle Ages has always had a bad reputation, and they even feed on ordinary humans.
Seeing that the boy had mistaken him for a demon, Lin Fei couldn't help but laugh and say, "Do I look like a demon at all?"
The young man carefully examined Lin Fei and found that he indeed had no characteristics of the demon race. He breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I heard from the master that unless one is a great saint of the demon race, even if one transforms into human form, one will more or less retain some characteristics of the demon race. It seems that you are indeed not a spy of the demon race!"
Although the boy breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer as afraid as before, his wariness of Lin Fei remained unchanged. He still looked at Lin Fei cautiously and said, "I've heard that some humans have defected to the demon race, specifically to find other humans as food for the demons. Who knows if you're one of those scum of the human race? You have to come with me to see our Sage Teacher, or I'll immediately send a signal for the academy to arrest you!"
As he spoke, as if afraid that Lin Fei would not believe him, he immediately took out a cylindrical object and stared at Lin Fei without moving his eyes.
Upon hearing the name "Sage Teacher" mentioned by the young man, Lin Fei's eyes lit up. He was currently on his way to find the whereabouts of the Human Race's Chief Daoist, and having someone to guide him would be ideal.
Just as one might search high and low only to find something unexpectedly, Lin Fei smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll go with you!"
