Yang Haohan arranged for Long Haochen and Han Yu to stay in the main temple of the Knight Temple. Long Haochen lived next door to his mother, and after reuniting with her for two days, he and Han Yu began their cultivation.

The main temple of the Knight Temple is located inside the mountain body of Yulong Pass and extends deep underground. This is where the Knight Temple’s true treasures are located, and along with the Knight Sacred Mountain in the south, they are known as the two great treasures of the Knight Temple. It is said that even the Godly Throne of Order and Law is in this underground treasure trove, but Long Haochen and Han Yu are far from qualified to see the real Godly Throne.

What Long Haochen found strange was that the Knight Temple didn’t have the magnificent architecture he had seen in the Assassin Temple and Warrior Temple. Because it was inside the mountain, all he saw were stone chambers, and he didn’t even know where the real main hall of the Knight Temple was.

Yang Haohan didn’t explain much, but arranged for them to enter a cave and then left, telling them that with their cultivation, they would have to complete all the seventh-tier skills before they could possibly leave this cave.

Entering the cave, Long Haochen immediately had the feeling he had when he entered the Saint Alliance’s treasury in the Holy City. The spiritual power fluctuations in the surrounding air were very strong. The faint golden light gave people a illusory feeling.

He had entered the cave with Han Yu, but when he steadied himself, he was surprised to find that Han Yu had disappeared.

The surroundings were filled with gentle light-attributed spiritual power, giving a very comfortable feeling. The abundant light elements were naturally absorbed by the three major spiritual apertures with Long Haochen’s breathing.

Without rushing to move forward, Long Haochen sat down on the spot. Although his spiritual power was abundant at this time, he knew that this was not his best state, because he was impetuous.

From the moment he returned from the gloomy swamps of Andu Province in the Demon Clan, his heart had never been at peace. After returning to the Exorcist Pass, he experienced joy and sorrow several times, and his emotional fluctuations were so great that even the peace and clarity that the Sun Moon Divine Snail had brought him had long been affected.

However, the Sun Moon Divine Snail also brought him a sense of clarity and peace. Therefore, Long Haochen was able to calm down and sit there now. He needed time to dispel the distracting thoughts in his heart, even the smallest trace of distracting thoughts hidden in the dark. Only in this way could he enter a state of cultivation with all his heart and have the greatest improvement in the shortest time.

Closing his eyes, Long Haochen, who had calmed down, began to meditate. Feeling the gentle light elements in the air, his facial lines became softer.

Golden light flickered, and Yating quietly appeared behind Long Haochen. She was also sitting cross-legged there, also with her eyes closed. The staff in her hand slowly raised, and circles of golden halos naturally condensed towards her and Long Haochen.

Condensing and filtering, what Yating did seemed simple, but it was of great help to Long Haochen. The light elements after filtering were extremely pure, and it was much easier for Long Haochen to absorb them.

Yang Haohan stood silently in a stone chamber. Behind him were two people. On the left was a tall, round-faced old man. The old man’s face was as heavy as jujube, his nose was straight, and his mouth was square. His expression was solemn with a hint of joy.

On the other side was a man who was completely shrouded in a gray robe, even his head was covered.

In front of Yang Haohan was a crystal ball with a diameter of one meter. The crystal ball emitted a faint golden light, and what was shown in the crystal ball was none other than Long Haochen sitting cross-legged in the treasure cave of the Knight Temple.

Yang Haohan smiled and said, “He can still be so calm after entering the Illusion Cave. This child has really grown up. He’s not even eighteen years old! He can have such a calm mind. It seems Xingyu was right. After these years of training, this child has really become talented.”

The round-faced old man behind Yang Haohan snorted coldly, “Right about what? I said long ago that I wanted to bring Haochen over, but he just didn’t agree. Humph.” As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the gray-clothed man beside him, whose face could not be seen clearly.

Yang Haohan smiled slightly and said, “Brother Long, don’t be greedy when you’ve already gotten the advantage. Without Xingyu, would you have such a good grandson? You’re still holding back from running out to recognize him, aren’t you? The glorious task of protecting your grandson is entrusted to you. Although he is your grandson, he is also the hope of our Knight Temple for the next hundred years. If he suffers any harm, I will revoke your responsibility to protect him and personally protect him.”

If Long Haochen heard Yang Haohan’s words, he would be very surprised. The old man with a face as heavy as jujube was actually his biological grandfather. To say from his appearance, he and this grandfather didn’t really have much in common.

“Don’t come with that nonsense. Although you are a little stronger than me, you are not much stronger. Even if that guy the Demon God Emperor comes, he will definitely not be able to hurt my grandson.” A fierce and domineering aura naturally rose from the round-faced old man. In the silent majesty, a kind of crimson gold faintly spread from him.

This old man’s name is Long Tianyin, and he is another of the three great Godly Throne Knights in the Knight Temple, the owner of the Godly Throne of Order and Law, the Godly Throne Knight in charge of control and restraint in the Knight Temple.

The relationship between Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu is something that not only Long Haochen doesn’t know, but even within the Knight Temple, only a few high-level people are clear about it.

This is the Long family’s rule. No matter how powerful the elders are, the younger generation must not borrow their reputation and must rely on their own abilities. Long Xingyu also relied on his own efforts to eventually become a Godly Throne Knight.

Yang Haohan sighed and said, “This time the demons are coming fiercely, and it’s hard to say who will win the Holy War. Although the reclusive seniors in the alliance have also come out of the mountains. But the number of demon powerhouses is more than we have after all. I hope the alliance’s war strategy can be carried out.”

Long Tianyin said, “Isn’t it just delay? We can afford to delay. If we compete for supplies, the demons will undoubtedly die. In this Holy War, as long as we can persevere, you will see in a few years that the demons won’t be able to afford to consume just the food alone.”

Yang Haohan said, “What we can think of, the Demon God Emperor can naturally think of too. Brother Long, don’t be so optimistic!”

The gray-clothed man on the other side said in a deep voice, “I’m leaving first. Now that Haochen has returned to the temple, I can rest assured.”

Long Tianyin frowned, “Where are you going?”

The gray-clothed man’s voice revealed a strong killing intent, “The rear of the demons.” After saying this, he turned around and strode away.

Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan looked at each other and said, “Brother Yang, after Haochen comes out of the Illusion Cave, I want to meet him and personally assess him. What do you think?”

Yang Haohan nodded slightly, “This is your grandfather and grandson’s business, you make the decision. However, I’m not good at defending the city, and Yulong Pass can’t be without you to guard it.”

Long Tianyin nodded, “It won’t take too long. I’m going back to the pass. When Haochen comes out of the cave, you notify me.”

“Okay.”

Was Long Haochen really as calm as he appeared to be on the surface? The answer was no.

The moment he closed his eyes, all kinds of chaotic thoughts surged into his heart. Cai’er’s beautiful figure appeared first, that was how she looked when her God-favored person awakened, and then the picture instantly changed to the moment before he and she separated on the roof.

After Cai’er, it was his father. His father looked at him with majesty, as if he was saying something to him.

After that, it was his mother. His mother’s eyes were always so melancholy and sad. From childhood to adulthood, he was separated from his mother and father, and his parents were not able to be together for at least ten years. After finally reuniting, his father disappeared because of the battle with Anan. Only his mother knew how much suffering she had endured all these years.

The appearances of his companions also appeared in Long Haochen’s mind one by one, from their first battle at the Exorcist Pass to the great battle with the demons in the Cave of Fear and Shrieks, and then to the Zhennan Pass, the Paradise of Dreams, and the Gloomy Swamp, all those scenes flashed quickly in Long Haochen’s mind.

Under such circumstances, how could he calm down?

A faint chill was emerging from his back. Long Haochen knew that it was fortunate that he was able to calm down, rather than rushing forward. Otherwise, it would only cause his mind to be even more chaotic, and these troubles that appeared in his heart might be suppressed, but they would definitely gradually affect his will and affect the purity of the God-favored person’s heart.

Although the Sun Moon Divine Snail didn’t have much communication with him, it pointed out the most important thing, which was the difference between the God-favored person of light and other God-favored people.

The greatest advantage of the God-favored person of light lies in their own perfection. Whether it is the mind or talent, they are perfect existences. This is something that even Cai’er, who is the God-favored person of death, cannot compare to. However, the biggest problem for the God-favored person of light also lies in this perfection.

Being too perfect leads to being more easily polluted. As proven by the past, when the Sun Moon Divine Snail appeared, wasn’t the God-favored person of light the one who went astray because of being polluted? In the end, not only did they not save the continent, but they became the sinners of the continent. Especially the first generation of Starlight Divine Beast, that Holy Giant Dragon, and the master of the Eternal Tower, the Eternal Calamity, Ilektos.

Therefore, for the God-favored person of light, there is actually one thing that is very important, and that is self-reflection.

The Sun Moon Divine Snail left this world, leaving Long Haochen only the shell, but before it passed away, it also used its last strength to help Long Haochen purify his heart. Although it didn’t say it directly, it used actions to tell Long Haochen how he should do it.

Yes, self-reflection, only by constantly reflecting on oneself and maintaining a clear and pure heart can the Child of Light always be the Child of Light.

“Thank you, Sun Moon Divine Snail.” Long Haochen sighed sincerely in his heart.
