God-Slaying Servant

After a thousand years of renovation and construction, the main altar occupies an area of four to five hundred miles, like an independent little world, with dense magical energy, shrouded in layers of array Light Veil, isolating it from external dangers.

Li Weiyi and his two companions passed through seven layers of array Light Veil.

The different layers of the formation are about ten miles apart, some in desolate wastelands, some in ruins, some in the Blood River, and some in fortified cities...

Beneath each layer of the array's Light Veil, a large number of soldiers dressed in Black Robe and wearing face masks stood guard.

They were all highly skilled and had sharp eyes.

To leave the main altar, one must have their life token checked, and registration must be made for each layer of array Light Veil.

We reached the final layer of the array's Light Veil.

From afar, one can see the majestic city wall, twelve zhang high, constructed of massive stones and Dense Metal.

On the city walls, followers, giant beasts, and spellcasters... were densely packed, countless in number. They worked day and night to reinforce and raise the city walls, and to set up even more powerful formations.

Obviously.

With the opening of the second entrance in the south, the Twin Rice Cult faces immense survival pressure and is actively preparing for the worst.

The reason Li Weiyi couldn't see these things normally was because those who cultivated in the Mortal Layer were the top geniuses of the Rice Cult, the elite of the elite, and were protected, so they didn't need to participate in hard or tiring work.

On the city wall, there were tens of thousands of believers working, all of them strong and healthy, half of whom Deformed Race.

This is only the southern section of the city wall!

"The Fourth Divine Son!"

Guarding the South City were two Old Man with profound spiritual power, their hair white and their faces etched with rice grain patterns.

One of the Old Man looked at Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo: "Everyone must plant the Death Spirit Fire before leaving the main altar to carry out missions and training."

Li Weiyi asked, "Does this divine being also wish to plant it?"

The Old Man laughed and said, "Your Highness, the Divine Child, is of noble status. How could this old servant dare to doubt your loyalty to the Divine Sect? There is no need for that."

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two Death Spirit Fire flew out from the black palace above the city wall and landed inside Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo's bodies.

Li Weiyi looked up and gazed into the distance. Within that black palace, he sensed a suffocating aura of mental energy, like a black hole, impossible to probe.

There is an extraordinary expert stationed south of the main altar.

The next moment.

A Buddha statue sits cross-legged atop a black palace, its eyes gleaming with golden light.

Instantly, tens of thousands of scriptures flashed on his body.

Li Weiyi and the other two all felt an extremely uncomfortable force acting on their bodies. Not to mention their boundary bags and ancestral fields, even their bones felt as if they were being pierced, making it impossible to hide anything.

The Buddha statue's pupils are Ten Thousand Character Scripture Magic Tool, capable of seeing through everything in the world and preventing outsiders from infiltrating or escaping.

The Daoist school possesses as many as eight such Myriad-character Artifact statues.

The city gates remained closed. The three of them, along with more than twenty other disciples, descended through the skylight to the next level of the world, tens of thousands of meters below.

The main altar has developed a total of seven layers of worlds.

Each floor is separated by thousands of feet.

The Mortal Layer, located at the very center, is heavily protected and cannot be entered or exited directly. One must take the Sky Court down to the first level of the Asura Layer to exit.

One hour later.

Arrive at the first level of the Asura Layer.

Li Weiyi finally saw another side of the Twin Rice Cult.

Before me lay low-lying houses and endless red earth and yellow sand; this was the training ground for the "God-Slaying Servant." Along the way, cartloads of corpses could be seen being pulled away by horse-drawn carriages, their destination unknown.

In the training ground, groups of young men and women dressed in black, wielding various weapons, were engaged in fierce combat. Their eyes were as fierce as wild beasts, and every move drew blood; it was a fight to the death.

The spring opens slowly.

The Eighth Spring cannot be opened in the Spring Realm.

Those within the prescribed age limit are not allowed to enter the Five Seas Realm.

These less talented rice people and their followers, both young and old, will be sent to the first level of the Asura Layer and trained to be God-Slaying Servant. Through daily battles, their spirits will be tempered, their hatred cultivated, and their innate potential stimulated.

Train highly skilled killers using extreme methods.

This method has an extremely high mortality rate, but those who survive are all formidable figures. Some of them even achieve more than inner disciples and True Disciple.

They are not the least talented, but rather above average, and have potential for development.

Tuoba Butuo, who had some knowledge of cults, secretly transmitted his voice. "These are seeds of God-Slaying Servant! They are quite terrifying, not just because they know how to kill, but also because of their outstanding intelligence, methods, survival skills, resilience, secret techniques... all kinds of abilities."

"There was once a God-Slaying Servant who killed twelve Dao Seed Realm experts in the Northern Territory. It took the Young Lord's personal intervention to capture him, but he ultimately committed suicide, and no information could be obtained from him."

"Da da!"

Two rice-man girls dressed in black rushed to Li Weiyi, knelt down, and bowed to him.

"We ranked thirty-third in this year's life-or-death battle. We earnestly request Your Highness to accept us as your servants."

"The two of us have already killed thirty-eight people together. We don't want to continue killing. We want to go to the Mortal Layer to cultivate and serve His Highness the Divine Child."

Two young men in black rushed out and knelt before Li Weiyi.

"We ranked seventeenth in this year's life-or-death battle. We humbly acknowledge His Highness the Divine Child as our master. If our master lives, we live; if our master dies, we die."

"I swear to serve His Highness the Divine Child to the death."

More and more God-Slaying Servant Seeds rushed out and knelt on both sides of the road.

Before officially becoming God-Slaying Servant, they had no names and could only introduce themselves by reporting their ranking in the life-or-death battle.

The Palace Master, Venerable Ones, Elders, and Divine Sons and Daughters can all come to the Asura Layer to select servants and assassins. Most of those selected are already powerful God-Slaying Servant who can be directly dispatched to carry out tasks.

Those with exceptional talent are exceptions.

For example, the genius who opened the Ninth Spring amidst fierce fighting and brutal battles.

The God-Slaying Servant are also divided into ranks, some of whom have cultivation and combat power above the gods and goddesses and elders, and are like Hidden Person.

Perhaps because he never considered himself a divine son, Li Weiyi had no intention of selecting servants and assassins, and quickly left with Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao.

Step out of the array of Light Veil and walk along the canyon suspension bridge.

The suspension bridge was very long, filled with blood mist, and a fierce wind raged in mid-air.

The bridge's end is nowhere in sight, neither its top nor its bottom can be seen.

There are many suspension bridges across the canyon, densely packed and varying in height, connecting different routes to various destinations.

There were only the three of them on the bridge.

Qi Xiao let out a long breath. "The first level of the Asura Layer is the training ground for God-Slaying Servant. Just in the area we just passed, there were thousands of people, with training grounds everywhere, and the conditions were harsh. Could there be hundreds of thousands of people on this entire level? How many powerful figures can be trained each year? The potential and hidden power of the cult is unimaginable."

Tuoba Butuo said, "When we came down from the courtyard just now, one of the people who accompanied us was wearing a mask. I think I know him. I sensed a familiar aura from him. He also glanced at me briefly!"

"It's normal for hidden masters to return to the main altar for training and experience. In the future, we should try to wear masks when we go out."

Thinking of something, Li Weiyi added, "I've already secured your identities True Disciple of the Spirit Grain Hall. So, please refrain from using the word 'cult' again and be careful with your words and actions."

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo knew very well that their survival and the ability to reattach their severed arms were the result of Li Weiyi's life as collateral.

If they were to betray the Twin Rice Cult, they would be ungrateful. Therefore, they never mentioned taking this opportunity to escape from the main altar.

It will probably be very difficult for them to return to the Qi Family and the Tuoba Clan in the future.

The two immediately stopped and bowed respectfully. "Your Highness, rest assured, there will be no next time."

"It's agreed that we'll only call him 'Divine Child' in public, but in private we'll address each other as brothers. Let's go, speed things up!"

Li Weiyi circulated his internal magical power, unleashed his movement technique, transformed into a wisp of green smoke, and flew off along the suspension bridge.

The two followed closely behind.

A suspension bridge ten miles long separates the main altar from the outside world into two distinct realms.

Li Weiyi had read books about the Nether Flower Black Swamp in the Spirit Grain Hall and knew that it was a distance of 500 li from the main altar.

This area of five hundred miles has been repeatedly cleared by generations of disciples of the Rice Cult, and given the cultivation levels of the three of them, the danger is very low. Unless they are extremely unlucky, they would not encounter any ferocious creatures that have wandered here.

After rushing dozens of miles, Li Weiyi and his two companions hid in a cave carved into the rock face.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi set up a concealment array at the entrance of the grotto.

Each person then affixed a Conceal Qi talisman to their body and waited quietly to see if anyone would follow.

Over the past six months, Li Weiyi has made some progress in formations and talisman techniques, and has been able to use some minor tricks.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Sikong Jingyuan and the two Dao Seed Realm Old Man flew forward at lightning speed like three afterimages, pursuing them very quickly without scouting along the way.

"They actually caught up! This Fifth Divine Son seems to have an unusually strong interest in me." Li Weiyi sat at the entrance of the cave, leaning against the stone wall, a smile on his face, secretly calculating in his heart.

Tuoba Butuo said, "The Fifth Divine Son is a pair of rice-man brothers, both with Pure Immortal Body, and they are extremely famous in the main altar. Should we take advantage of their separation and weakened fighting power to eliminate one of them first?"

Li Weiyi was tempted, but didn't want to be constantly watched like this; there's no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

He shook his head and said, "This place is too close to the main altar, only a few dozen miles away. If we make too much noise, those old guys will definitely notice. Besides, I have a feeling that Sikong Jingyuan isn't the only one following us."

Qi Xiao cautiously said, "Sikong Jingyuan is incredibly powerful, far surpassing Wang Shu. You must not underestimate him. The two Old Man behind him also possess formidable magical energy fluctuations; they are not ordinary Dao Seed Realm."

Li Weiyi nodded slightly. "Our main objective this time is to find cultivation resources."

Another half hour passed.

Outside, it remained quiet.

Only the occasional sound of ferocious insects crawling by could be heard.

Li Weiyi was preparing to retract the concealment array.

Suddenly, a chilling sense of danger washed over him, and Li Weiyi quickly sat back down, making a shushing gesture to make Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao quiet Conceal Qi.

A moment later, another group of people sped past the vicinity of the cave.

The team was led by the Patrol Guard Thousand Guard Commander, Yi Zhouxue.

Tuoba Butuo's expression was solemn. "Our Brother Weiyi was right, there are still experts. Yi Zhouxue is Great True Disciple, luckily we didn't act rashly just now."

Qi Xiao had just felt an overwhelming pressure, almost suffocating, and let out a long breath. "They must have just happened to be passing by, right?"

Tuoba Butuo said, "Everyone who leaves the main altar will be registered in real time. If a person of this Great True Disciple level attacks the Divine Child, their whereabouts will be easily discovered, and they will surely suffer retaliation from the Palace Master Venerable Nan."

Li Weiwei did not take chances like them. "Master An, Venerable Nan, the rules of the divine sect can indeed intimidate many people. But the treasures on my body can indeed lead some of them who are not afraid of death to take risks. For more than half a year, the snow has almost disappeared, and all grudges have disappeared. But this kind of people who know how to be patient and restrained are even more terrifying."

"What do we do now? Should we go back?"

Qi Xiao felt that the three of them had no chance of winning against Great True Disciple.

"It would be too embarrassing to be scared and run back as soon as we came out. The Underground Immortal Mansion has a complex structure and many dangerous areas. It won't be easy for them to find us."

"Let's go! Change course, let's go to the Nether Flower Black Swamp."

Li Weiyi put away the concealment array, turned back, and followed the intricate path down to the lower level.

Tuoba Butuo was puzzled and asked, "Weren't we on the road to the Nether Flower Black Swamp?"

"That's the road to the Truth Zen Forest! Everyone thought I would go to the Truth Zen Forest, with the same goal as Yang Qingxi. So, I went along with it and led them there," Li Weiyi said.

Qi Xiao laughed, "No wonder they didn't carefully investigate the road when they passed by, and just rushed straight through. Their thinking is so rigid that they instinctively assume you and Yang the Demoness are on the same side."

"That vixen Yang is going to be in big trouble!"

Tuoba Butuo smiled and looked at Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi said, "Yang Qingxi has entered and exited Truth Zen Forest many times, and no one has attacked her or been able to do anything to her. It is clear that the Yang Family is not to be trifled with."
