The Temple's Secret
The Holy Son has fallen.
The brocade robe inlaid with gold and silver turned to ashes, and the luxurious fox fur cloak turned to smoke and dust.
As for that holy and noble divine body, it was reduced to a charred and blackened mosaic under the blazing heavenly lightning.
As it turns out,
He was neither a Holy Son nor an Immortals and Gods.
He was just an ordinary person with a mortal body.
[Experience points +100.]
The only difference is,
His experience points are much higher than those of the average person.
Gao Yunyi looked at the experience points he had just received and was slightly surprised.
This arrogant and pretentious man's status and position were actually able to sit at the same table as the Prince Ning's Heir, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Then,
Gao Yunyi's gaze then shifted to the Armor Slave who resembled an iron tower.
He's really tall.
They've almost surpassed Yao Ming.
That Sha Qi and fierce power were absolutely unmatched among all the people he had ever met.
In ancient times, he would be a match for ten thousand men.
No wonder this arrogant guy dares to call himself a god.
Unfortunately, he was just a heartless, living dead person, whose life was worse than death.
"Fine, let me free you from this predicament."
Gao Yunyi lightly raised his finger, and several strands of lightning flashed at his fingertip.
"Consider it doing a good deed for the day, no need to thank me."
Boom--
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky once more, carrying with it a violent purifying power capable of sweeping away all filth and sin in the world, and an unparalleled terrifying might, striking heavily upon the Armor Slave's armor.
A ball of iron, not yet fully melted, rolled down a sheer cliff.
He didn't know whether Armor Slave had been freed.
However, Gao Yunyi did see the actual experience points.
[Experience points +80.]
Tsk tsk tsk...
Such high experience points!
Could this place be the legendary monster-hunting paradise?
If we plow through this entire area, wouldn't we be able to reach level 19 with full experience without having to complete the Foundation Establishment Pill Quest?
In the game "Immortal Journey", once a character reaches the maximum experience level, any extra experience will not disappear but will be inherited directly after the character breaks through to a higher realm.
That's how it is in the game.
It doesn't make sense that it wouldn't work in reality.
Two bolts of lightning struck the world in broad daylight, startling the people inside the Divine Temple.
Dozens of Holy Temple Guards, armed and dressed in white robes, filed out of the Divine Temple.
However, when they rushed out,
They did not see their revered Holy Son, but only a strange man dressed in an Azure robe.
There was also a clump of hardened, blackened mosaic on the ground, which I couldn't identify.
Who is it?
Where is the Holy Son?
Where did this guy come from?
"Enemies, there are enemies."
"..."
The Holy Temple Guards were thrown into chaos, grabbing their weapons and charging toward the mysterious enemy.
Gao Yunyi turned around and looked back.
Those eyes were devoid of any emotion.
Then, facing the charging Holy Temple Guards,
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Deepest part of the Divine Temple,
Inside a fortified, impregnable secret chamber.
This place houses priceless treasures of gold and silver amassed by the Divine Temple over the centuries, enough to make anyone richer than a nation.
In the middle of this secret room, on a high platform...
An elderly man dressed in a white, wide robe sat cross-legged.
The old man's hair was completely white as snow, his temples were streaked with gray, and his face was deeply lined with wrinkles as deep as the bark of a dried-up old tree.
His eyelids were droopy and loose, his cloudy eyes were devoid of any light, his back was already bent into a bow shape, his body was thin and emaciated, and his skin hung loosely on his bones, as if he would fall over with a gust of wind.
If it weren't for the faint, intermittent breathing sounds coming from his nose, one might mistake it for a corpse that had long since passed away.
This old man, nearing the end of his life and on the verge of death, was none other than...
He was the Grand Elder mentioned by the Holy Son, and also the true supreme ruler of this Divine Temple.
"Almost there... almost there... I can't die... wait a little longer... I absolutely can't die..."
The elder muttered to himself softly, as if speaking to someone beside him, but there was no one else in the entire secret room except for him.
He's too old.
The old man's body was so weak that he couldn't even move.
They could only sit in this dark and gloomy room, barely clinging to life and struggling to stay afloat.
But he cannot die yet.
He wanted to live.
He should have died long ago. His remains will be cremated, and then, amidst the kneeling worship of thousands of believers, his ashes will be sent to the Hall of the First Saints, just like all the Holy Lords and Elders throughout history.
It is worshipped by all people and venerated for millennia.
He should have been this way, and he should have been this way.
But the Immortal Lotus matured, and the Holy Son grew into adulthood.
He didn't want it to be like that.
There is a legend in the Holy Church that five hundred years ago, a Holy Lord obtained a mature Immortal Lotus, consumed it, and ascended to heaven in broad daylight, transcending the mortal realm Spirit Transformation.
But this legend is wrong.
The one who transcended the mortal realm Spirit Transformation was not that Holy Lord, but the former Grand Elder of the Divine Temple.
The Holy Lord and the Immortal Lotus were thrown into the Pill Furnace by that Grand Elder.
They were refined together.
He refined an Immortal Elixir, which the Grand Elder swallowed on the spot.
The elder, who should have reached the end of his lifespan, lived for over a hundred years longer.
And that elder from back then
It was his ancestor.
Their Lineage has always kept the secret technique for refining Immortal Elixirs.
However, Holy Sons with that special bloodline are extremely rare, and the Immortal Lotus, which matures only once every five hundred years, is incredibly precious.
Unexpectedly,
In his generation, they finally got their wish.
The Holy Son with special bloodline has been found, Immortal Lotus, which matures only once every five hundred years, has been born.
As long as the Holy Son comes of age the day after tomorrow and succeeds to the position of Holy Lord,
Then he could reverse his Youthful Years and live another life.
The Armor Slave following behind the Holy Son, the one who truly obeyed his orders, was not the Holy Son, but him; he was the true master of the two Armor Slaves in the Divine Temple.
An imposter who looks remarkably like the Holy Son is also ready. As soon as the Holy Lord ascends the throne, he can use Armor Slave to secretly take the Holy Lord away and then push the imposter into the Holy Lord's position.
Without anyone noticing,
Everything is ready except for the final push.
Therefore, he cannot die.
I'll fight tooth and nail to live for two more days.
As long as he consumes the Immortal Elixir made from the Holy Lord and the Immortal Lotus, he will be able to control the Puppet Holy Lord from behind the scenes and maintain control of this Divine Temple for over a hundred years.
Time is passing so slowly.
It's really tough.
The elder stretched out his withered, shriveled hand and tremblingly pulled an ancient black box from his wide white robe.
This box is Crafting of special materials.
It contains the Divine Temple's most precious treasure.
Immortal Lotus.
So beautiful!
It's so beautiful.
After the Immortal Lotus was plucked from the Jade Pool, his eyes were immediately drawn to its subtle fragrance and serene Immortal Lotus, and he could not look away.
This Immortal Lotus is his.
No one can take it away.
Even the gods in heaven can't do it.
Boom--
As if in response to the Grand Elder's thoughts, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside the secret chamber.
Even this seemingly impregnable and unbreakable secret chamber trembled violently.
