Faith Is Poison, Parting

"Thank you, big brother."

Bai Qianqian's eyes surged with overwhelming hatred. She clenched her fists and punched Han Qi again and again. Blood splattered as Han Qi let out a painful howl.

On the other side, Liu Yi walked to the God of Light and gazed at the rich Incense and Fire Prayer Power and the Power of Faith surrounding it.

After these Power of Faith entered the statue, they quietly disappeared into the void through the faith passage.

He released his Divine Sense to carefully examine the God of Light, and quickly discovered its secrets.

It turns out that the statue is a Law Treasure that can both collect Power of Faith and, by locating coordinates, teleport the collected Power of Faith away.

When his Divine Sense came into contact with the Power of Faith, he heard a murmur in his ear.

"May the God of Light bless me so that I may be reborn into a better family next time."

"God of Light, I want to eat my fill, lots of delicious food."

"I hope my wife will give me a big, healthy son."

Liu Yi was slightly surprised. He reached out and grabbed the Power of Faith in his palm, examining it carefully.

He discovered that the Power of Faith and the negative energy within the system were somewhat similar, yet also different.

The negative energy in the system mainly consists of the seven emotions and six desires, as well as a mysterious force.

This mysterious power, after several years of research and analysis, has been identified as the Power of the Mind.

Besides these negative energies, the Power of Faith also contains pure willpower.

No wonder they say faith is poisonous; it's already tainted by the seven emotions and six desires.

It might be alright when the Power of Faith is weak, but once it accumulates to a certain level, even immortals might find it difficult to withstand.

Moreover, it also contains the Power of the Mind.

This is an incredibly profound power, containing boundless potential.

However, this God of Light does indeed possess some methods, as he is able to replace the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with the Power of Faith as the energy for cultivation.

It's just unknown to what extent he has mastered this method.

If we could obtain his Cultivation Method purifying the Power of Faith, we might be able to accelerate the research into a way to resolve the system's negative energy.

Although several years of research have yielded some insights into solutions to the negative energy of the system, it will still take a long time to develop a complete solution.

Liu Yi turned to Little Yellow and instructed, "You stay here and look after Qianqian. I'm going to the temple's treasury."

"Yes, Master." Little Yellow nodded in agreement.

Liu Yi arrived at the temple's treasury, and with a wave of his hand, the treasury doors opened.

Looking at the mountain of gold and silver treasures piled up in the vault, he raised his hand and cast a beam of light, enveloping them all and storing them in his Storage Space.

Next, he arrived at the second level of the treasure vault, where the restrictions on the vault door shimmered faintly.

These restrictions weren't Gao Ming; he only glanced at them before finding a way to break them.

He slammed his palm against the door, shattering the barrier, and pushed the door open to enter the second level of the treasure vault.

There were only two large wooden chests in the vault. He waved his hand and lifted the lids, revealing crystal-clear Faith Crystal inside.

These Faith Crystal were crafted by the Temple of the God of Light after purifying the Power of Faith, and they are also the source of energy for their cultivation.

"This is the Faith Crystal?"

Liu Yi reached out and picked up the two crystals to examine them carefully, quickly noticing the difference between them.

The quality of a crystal is determined by the amount of negative energy it contains, such as the seven emotions and six desires. The less negative energy it contains, the higher the quality of the crystal.

However, the Temple of the God of Light in Qingding City has a limited level, and the best crystals in its treasury are only of medium grade.

From Han Qi's memories, he also learned that Faith Crystal actually have superior and even top-grade levels.

If we could obtain top-grade crystals, we might be able to analyze the strength of the Temple of the God of Light 'Power of Faith.

He casually put the two boxes of Faith Crystal into his Storage Space, then turned and returned to the temple hall, where he saw Bai Qianqian, whose white dress had turned into a blood-red dress.

A sickly smile graced her blood-stained face, while not far away, Han Qi had been beaten into a pool of blood and gore.

Little Yellow stood stiffly to the side, his eyes filled with fear.

Seeing this, Liu Yi frowned and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Big brother, I'm alright."

Bai Qianqian smiled and said, "I just couldn't control the hatred in my heart just now. Now that I've vented it, I feel much better. I just didn't expect to scare Little Yellow."

Little Yellow immediately retorted, "I wasn't scared at all. I was just a little surprised by the Qianqian change."

"Well, it's good that you're alright. When you kill someone, you must be careful to eliminate their soul, so as not to leave any hidden dangers."

Liu Yi pointed a finger at Han Qi's head, completely destroying his soul.

"Yes, yes, I've got it." Bai Qianqian nodded repeatedly in response.

Liu Yi turned to look at the God of Light and explained, "The Temple of the God of Light is a force established by the God of Light to collect the Power of Faith in the Divine Kingdom."

"The energy source for temple monks' cultivation primarily comes from purifying their Power of Faith and condensing it into Faith Crystal."

"But the human heart is complex, and faith can be poisonous; one can easily sink into a sea of suffering from which there is no escape. If you obtain Faith Crystal, you must never use it."

"It must be said, the God of Light is truly a genius to be able to create Cultivation Method purifies the Power of Faith."

With that, he struck the God of Light with his palm, shattering it into dust.

"Let's go, let's get out of here."

Liu Yi pushed open the temple gate and leaped into the air.

He then took out the gold and silver treasures he had plundered from the temple's treasury from his Storage Space and scattered them all over the streets and alleys of Qingding City.

This money was originally plundered from the people; now it should be returned to them.

After doing all this, he turned and flew away from Qingding City, with Little Yellow carrying Bai Qianqian in close behind. The three of them quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Three days later, Bai Qianqian looked at Liu Yi and Little Yellow with an exceptionally firm expression:

"Big brother, Little Yellow, thank you for taking care of us all this time. Let's part ways here."

Little Yellow asked with a puzzled look, "Why? You're safer with us now."

Bai Qianqian gently shook her head. "It's precisely because it's too safe with you that I have to leave."

"Always being protected, I'll never get real training, and I don't know when I'll be able to cultivate unparalleled skills and revive my brother."

"Just like my older brother said, if you want to become strong, you have to endure hardship and go through countless trials and tribulations."

"Little Yellow, we can keep in touch via Microchat from now on."

Little Yellow sighed helplessly; it knew that Bai Qianqian's decision was right.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, then go ahead."

"If you encounter any problems you can't solve, feel free to contact me via Microchat. I can't say I can handle everything, but I can help you with most issues."

Liu Yi handed ten jade tokens to Bai Qianqian, saying, "Each of these ten jade tokens contains one of my attack techniques; they might save your life in a critical moment."

"Thank you, big brother!" Bai Qianqian accepted the jade token with both hands, her eyes slightly red as she softly expressed her gratitude.

Liu Yi raised his hand to form a seal, activating the Principle of Fate and Principle of Cause and Effect to disrupt her Tianji and karma.

"I just concealed the Tianji from you, so the people of the Temple of the God of Light won't be able to find you through deduction in a short time."

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Qianqian gave Liu Yi and Little Yellow a deep look before turning and leaving.

Liu Yi watched her receding figure and thought to himself:

Is this Child of Fortune finally about to embark on his own Fate?
