Countless threads, visible to the naked eye.
Everyone was shocked to see the Power of Faith emanating from the crawling Water Monkeys, staring in horror at Yang Zhen in mid-air.
Even the two true powerhouses, Dao Devil and Sword Devil, showed surprise on their faces. As they looked at each other, they could see envy in each other's eyes.
The Power of Faith! This is the legendary Power of Faith.
From ancient times to the present, since the rise of Myriad Races in the Savage Wilderness era, through countless generations of change, countless races and tribes have disappeared into the long river of time, but many more sects have sprung up, and countless cultivators have tirelessly pursued the power of heaven and earth, passing down their life's knowledge.
Of all the sects, even the powerful lineages like the Three Palaces and Six Sects have long since lost the power of Power of Faith.
The Power of Faith, a power whose lineage has been nearly severed, is pursued by countless people, some even going so far as to establish their own sects and pass on countless traditions to more disciples, all in the hope of one day being able to unite the Power of Faith within their sects and reach the ranks of truly super sects.
However... none of them were able to succeed again, not even the Three Palaces and Six Sects.
People have become clever and cunning; the law of the jungle prevails, and most have lost their faith. How can we even talk about conviction anymore?
In today's Cultivation World, it's all about scheming against each other. Even among fellow disciples, there's rarely a life-or-death bond.
This kind of stakeholder relationship, let alone the Power of Faith, or the fact that no one stabs you in the back, is simply the result of good karma from doing good deeds in your daily life.
Many have lost patience with the Power of Faith. Instead of tirelessly pursuing this ethereal power, they would rather focus on cultivating their True Essence and one day break through to the Emperor Realm, or even achieve immortality. This is what everyone in the Cultivation World is doing now.
However, today, right today, everyone watched in astonishment as numerous Water Monkeys emanated Power of Faith, all of which was channeled into Yang Zhen alone. How could such an event, capable of causing a stir throughout the entire Cultivation World, not be shocking?
Countless people gasped in amazement, with the most enthusiastic being those heaven-defying cultivators.
Some say that those defying the heavens are more likely to gather the Power of Faith than the many sects and forces that follow the will of heaven. However, those who defy the heavens know their own suffering. They are indeed more united, but also more cautious. They have the belief, but the Power of Faith has made no progress for a long time.
What exactly did Yang Zhen do to suddenly unleash the Power of Faith within the Water Monkeys?
As strands of Power of Faith rose into the air and flowed into Yang Zhen's body, the next moment, Yang Zhen crashed into the overwhelming Species-Annihilating Heavenly Punishment. Everyone gasped and stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single detail.
This is the entire process that triggered the Power of Faith, and it's in high definition.
Witnessing such a scene was far beyond everyone's expectations. Compared to seeing the Karmic Dao Source that can be seen but not refined, witnessing the benefits brought by the Power of Faith is much greater.
"This... it's simply... it's simply..."
The Sword Devil muttered to himself, unable to utter a single complete sentence.
Dao Devil's face was full of solemnity as he said in a deep voice, "In this way, Kid Yang has almost ushered in a new era. The Cultivation World is about to become truly lively."
Sword Devil was taken aback by these words, looking at Dao Devil with surprise. When Dao Devil turned to look at him, a look of doubt and uncertainty appeared on his face, and he asked, "You've also thought of that?"
Dao Devil looked at Sword Devil for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since ancient times, we seem to have fallen into a misconception. Among those magical tribes in the Savage Wilderness era, there were many powerful beings, but most ordinary people were just mortals who had not yet been corrupted. Those people are probably the true source of the Power of Faith."
The Sword Devil had clearly considered this as well. He turned to look at the Water Monkeys clan, who were prostrating themselves in devout worship, and murmured to himself, "The Water Monkeys clan, though powerful enough, is obviously not yet enlightened and has limited intelligence. By a stroke of fortuitous opportunity, Yang Zhen, for the sake of the entire Water Monkeys clan, single-handedly with his sword, stood against the annihilation Heavenly Punishment. Therefore... the Water Monkeys are deeply grateful. This is the true Power of Faith; it is a prayer and gathering of strength for Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, helping him to resist the Heavenly Punishment!"
"That should be it!"
A smile flashed across Dao Devil's face as he said, "We need to carefully consider this matter. Perhaps the real great era is about to begin because of Yang Zhen's actions."
The Sword Devil gave a wry smile and said, "I just don't know whether this will be a blessing or a curse for those uncivilized barbarians."
Dao Devil was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "It won't be a disaster. After all, you can't instill Power of Faith those barbarians by using force."
Upon hearing this, the Sword Devil grinned, looked at Yang Zhen who had almost disappeared into the lightning in mid-air, and said, "This kid has indeed brought a great fortune to the world."
Upon realizing this, both the Sword Devil and the Dao Devil shuddered and exchanged a somewhat horrified glance.
Yang Zhen... the blessings he brought to all living beings, the Power of Faith —if even a tiny bit of that faith were given to Yang Zhen, this kid would probably be able to ascend to heaven.
"What a monster!"
The two old men said in unison.
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, both with a slightly amused and exasperated expression, but their hearts were already racing.
The surrounding crowd, hearing their conversation, became quite excited. Each person had their own thoughts, and at this point, they no longer cared much about whether Yang Zhen lived or died.
Of course, this is only a small minority; the vast majority of people still hope that Yang Zhen can survive.
Little did they know that Yang Zhen was currently jumping up and down cursing amidst the raging thunder, being whipped around by bolts of lightning.
"I'm telling you, you guys are fucking asking for a beating. I, the Sage of Saunter, asked you to pause for a bit, not to leave right now. You can't even agree to this small request?"
boom--!
The answer to Yang Zhen was the Heavenly Wrath of thunder; a world-destroying, genocidal Species-Annihilating Heavenly Punishment descended from the sky, cleaving Yang Zhen from the clouds with a deafening roar.
Yang Zhen was instantly enraged, staring at the terrifying, swirling clouds in the sky and roaring, " Evil Shadow Black Taotie, swallow this son of a bitch for this Sage of Saunter!"
The Evil Shadow Black Taotie's belly was no smaller than that of the Heaven-Swallowing Hou. Upon hearing this, its eyes Heavenly Wrath and it roared to the sky. With a single bite, it charged towards the lightning-filled sky, swallowing countless lightning dragons in the blink of an eye. It hovered in the air, emitting strange, chuckling sounds.
When Yang Zhen finally had a moment to spare, he began to observe the Power of Faith within his body with a strange expression.
This wasn't the first time Yang Zhen had received this Power of Faith.
The ten thousand cultivators rescued from the Demon Sect in the Western Region years ago, as well as the three thousand cultivators rescued from the Great You Purgatory in the Youzhou Continent, all released their Power of Faith to Yang Zhen.
However, once this power entered Yang Zhen's body, it almost vanished without a trace. Yang Zhen searched for a long time but could not find it, and at one point thought that this power could not be retained, so he had to give up.
Yang Zhen was truly astonished that these swarms of Water Monkeys could now unleash the Power of Faith.
However, what surprised Yang Zhen even more, as if he had won the lottery, was that this time, Yang Zhen discovered the two original Power of Faith within his body.
Wow, that's impressive!
