The deafening ancient cries echoed across the sky. Accompanied by the final beam of a ghostly blue light shooting out from the Saint's Soul Niche, a total of seven ancestral spirits of the Ling Family appeared in the sky, barely visible as seven massive humanoid shadows, each exuding an ancient, vast, and immensely powerful aura.
These seven were the most outstanding swordmaster ancestors in the history of the Ling Family. After their fall, a wisp of their residual spirit would enter the Saint's Soul Niche, becoming guardian spirits of the Ling Family.
Suppressing the Witch God is only one function of the Saint's Soul Niche. The reason the Saint's Soul Niche is so important to the Ling Family is because it stores the residual spirits of the Ling Family's ancestors, which is why it is kept in the Ancestor Pavilion as a treasure that stabilizes the family.
