Chapter 963: Chapter 346: Priest, Reform, Eliminating Hidden Dangers (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)
Forgotten Dust Valley.
On the stone steps leading from the foot of the mountain to the peak of the Celestial Dragon Temple.
A young girl bowed with every step, her face devout.
Beside her, Old Zhuang watched with a heart full of pain, yet did not dissuade her.
Unlike previous years when the temple was deserted.
Since eight years ago when the Celestial Dragon God manifested, the valley soon welcomed abundant rain. In the subsequent years, as they had hoped, the weather was favorable, harvests bountiful, and the population flourished. People coming to worship the Celestial Dragon were countless every day.
However.
Compared to others.
Zhuang Wan’er, on the first day of each month, personally bowed her way up from the mountain’s foot, showing utmost devotion. She even had a small statue of the Celestial Dragon God placed at home, offering incense morning and night, vowing never to marry, only to serve the Celestial Dragon.
The people offering incense pointed and whispered:
"Temple priests have always passed on the title through sons, not daughters; why should this girl endure such hardship?"
"Indeed, Temple Priest Yangg may not have heirs, but they surely wouldn’t choose a girl as a successor."
"Hey, perhaps her true intentions lie elsewhere."
The plump Auntie Qiuo raised her head towards the direction of the temple.
The immortal in the backyard has stayed inside for eight years, yet many people, while full, hoped to receive the immortal’s guidance to embark on the path of cultivation.
.....
In the System Training Room.
Fu Changsheng finished his Technique, inwardly viewed his Dantian, where his cultivation had stabilized at the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion:
"Next, I can begin cultivating the Fourth Layer of the ’Great Derivation Technique’."
Currently holding the Divine Yin Profound Water, once cultivation is successful, he can refine the Thunder Shock Sword and form the Star Celestial Thunder Sword Array. It’s said the array is formidable even against a Golden Core Master.
However.
The Fourth Layer of the ’Great Derivation Technique,’ if done step-by-step, would take at least several decades, being more challenging than the first three layers:
"Seems I still need to add some points."
He has the Ancient Divine Phoenix’s Feather in hand.
If the materials are gathered, he can refine the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Five-Colored Fan, which has the potential to ascend as an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Previous intel mentioned.
After ascending to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, there is eligibility to enter a site. Maybe he can gather the materials for refining the Five-Colored Fan there, but according to time calculations, it’s estimated to be over twenty years away.
Before that.
He must first advance his clan to Seventh Grade.
With the promotion to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, perhaps the system might automatically upgrade as well.
After organizing his thoughts.
Fu Changsheng invoked his intention, flashed out from the Training Room.
Glanced at the hourglass beside him.
He has been in the System Training Room for twenty-four years yet only eight years have passed outside.
At this moment.
The panel’s Clan Contribution Points changed to twenty-five thousand five hundred.
"Eight years have passed; I must find a way to leave this place."
Including his time at Broken Bone Cliff, it’s been over ten years since he left the clan.
After standing up.
Just as about to push the door open.
An anomaly arose from the Celestial Dragon God at the bottom of the Five Elements Space:
"This is....."
Fu Changsheng was taken aback.
Quite surprised.
For this was the Celestial Dragon God’s first time conveying feelings to him, he felt quite moved. With a thought, he appeared in the Celestial Dragon Temple underground, where what greeted him was Divine Light, at least ten times stronger than before.
The Blood Coffin placed on the divine altar.
Now enveloped in Divine Light, with strange Divine Seals on all six sides, clearly during his seclusion, the Blood Coffin tried to wreak havoc but was heavily sealed by the Celestial Dragon God. Now it lay motionless as if dead, even the original bloody light around it had dimmed considerably.
Looking up at the Divine Statue.
He found the mist shrouding the Celestial Dragon God’s features thicker than before.
However.
This time, he could see.
Above the Celestial Dragon God, countless milky white threads penetrated through the void, entering its body. These threads restored the Celestial Dragon God’s divinity:
"It seems the miracle eight years ago was effective!"
Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand, three incense sticks ignited, he bowed, inserted them into the incense burner.
Buzz!
The Divine Light gently quivered, a stream of light entered his Sea of Divine Sense, after a while, Fu Changsheng opened his eyes and murmured:
"Priest selection?"
Moreover.
A cultivation technique that can only be learned by a Priest appeared in his mind.
This technique uses the power of faith as its source.
Fu Changsheng understood well, with the number of believers increasing, the Celestial Dragon God surely could not manage alone. Appointing a Priest to oversee the temple is justified.
With a thought.
Emerging from space.
Fu Changsheng exited, glanced at Meizhen’s Alchemy Room, noticed the door was open, but the door next to it was closed by an array; he didn’t disturb, planning to complete the Priest selection first. He cast a Technique on the backyard array, the array light curtain fluctuated, a gap appeared, his body flickered, riding the wind, stood above the temple at the peak.
"Daddy, look, the immortal!"
The clear voice of a child sounded.
Although not loud.
The people at worship paused their actions, looking up, indeed saw the immortal from eight years ago reemerging, hurried to bow in worship. Although the immortal seemed to do nothing, once he appeared, the temple began to operate again, so privately everyone believed it was the immortal’s handiwork.
Fu Changsheng floated in mid-air.
Overlooking the people:
"Everyone, I am here to deliver the oracle of the Celestial Dragon God. In the sacrificial ceremony three days from now, the Celestial Dragon God will select the most suitable person among the believers to become Priest. From then on, the temple operations will be handled by the Priest, and also, the selected Priest may learn cultivation techniques."
