Great Qin Empire.
Heavenly Prefecture.
Outside Xianyang City, on Mount Ascending Clouds not far away, there was an endless stream of pedestrians. The wide stone steps leading to the Heavenly Venerable Temple at the top of the mountain were a little crowded, but the order was not chaotic.
Among the pedestrians, there were mostly mortals, but there were also many martial artists. Without exception, these people slowly walked towards the top of the mountain step by step, their eyes filled with piety and hope.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain and entered the majestic and solemn Heavenly Venerable Temple, he saw a golden statue of a Heavenly Venerable standing on the stone platform. It was Han Zhao.
On the left and right sides of the Heavenly Venerable statue stood two statues of middle-aged men more than ten feet tall. They were the two ancestors of the Great Qin Empire.
Under the Heavenly Venerable’s feet was a seven-colored python. The person who carved the statues must be a cultivator. The four statues were lifelike, as if a Perfected had descended.
Ever since Han Zhao defeated the foreign races in the Outer World, the scale of the True Martial Sect had increased explosively in just ten years. Some mortals and martial artists who could not enter the True Martial Sect also began to worship the Heavenly Venerable Demon Vanquishing.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Venerable Temple, incense offerings were flourishing and there was an endless stream of worshipers.
“Supreme Heaven Suppressing True Martial Spirit Blessing Saint Emperor, please bless me to break through to the Divine Power Realm and successfully transcend the heavenly tribulation.”
“Heavenly Venerable Demon Vanquishing, please bless my family and prevent them from being harassed by demons and evil spirits.”
“Heavenly Emperor, please bless my wife to give birth to a boy and inherit the family business of my Sun family.”
“Perfected Lord, please bless me with my last chance to make a comeback. I’ll come back to repay my wish after I win this round!”
The believers each had their own desires. Everyone looked as devout as a pilgrim. However, in the eyes of the crowd, the hall was filled with a faint golden mist. The end of the mist was pulled by translucent threads that emerged from the believers’ heads. The final destination was the solemn statue of the god in the hall.
However, some of the threads were corporeal, while others were illusory and indistinct.
There were also very few golden mists that had already crystallized and turned into diamond-shaped crystals that emitted a strange dazzling light.
At this moment, the statue in the hall seemed to have come alive and let out a breathing sound. However, ordinary people could not hear it at all.
Without exception, the Faith Power of Incense was all absorbed into the body of the statue.
Only the most devout believers could see this scene.
“Heavenly Venerable has appeared! Thank you, Heavenly Venerable! Thank you, Heavenly Venerable!”
The believers were overjoyed when they saw the statue appear. This was because only when the Heavenly Venerable sensed their sincerity could they receive a response from the Heavenly Venerable and their wishes would be fulfilled.
As for the other believers who did not see the Heavenly Venerable statue appear after making a wish, they were greatly disappointed. At the same time, they reflected in their hearts that their faith was not pious enough, so they could not receive a response.
This was because the Heavenly Venerables did not care about the difficulty of fulfilling the wishes of their believers. They only cared about whether their faith was pious. If the Heavenly Venerables did not respond, it would be their own problem.
However, there were also a few people who came with the intention of giving it a try and cursed in their hearts.
“What bullsh*t Perfected Lord! It doesn’t work at all!” At that moment, the gambler who wanted to obtain luck from the Heavenly Venerable cursed in his heart. He thought about how he could make a comeback. He had only waited for half a day just to pay his respects to the Perfected Lord statue on Mount Ascending Clouds. To think that it was useless.
Seeing that it was useless to continue bowing, the gambler stood up and turned to leave, cursing in his heart.
However, what he did not notice was that just as he turned around, the statue’s calm eyes suddenly widened from a perspective that only he could see. In the next moment, wisps of white mist surged out from the top of his head. Then, black clouds pressed down from the top of his head.
The other believers noticed that the gambler’s originally thin and sinister face suddenly turned green and black. They were all shocked and avoided him.
That night, the gambler died on the spot after gambling his life away.
North of Xianyang City, the disciples of the True Martial Sect in Mingcang Mountain woke up early. As usual, after paying respects to the longevity tablet of the founder, they began to cultivate in the morning class.
However, what they did not know was that their ten-year-long life was about to be broken.
In the central mountain range of Mingcang Mountain, in the Ancestral Master’s cave abode that was covered by the array formation, a golden seal emitting a milky-white fluorescence floated above the praying mat in the inner room. The fluorescence flickered, and in the next moment, it suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. Han Zhao’s figure suddenly appeared on the praying mat.
At this moment, Han Zhao’s aura was vastly different from before he entered the Time Seal.
Swoosh!
He gently waved his sleeve, and the Time Seal fell into his palm. A feeling of blood connection appeared in Han Zhao’s heart. He flipped his palm, and the Time Seal immediately entered his body.
“The Time Seal finally belongs to me!”
Han Zhao thought to himself. Ten years had passed in the outside world, but 200 years had passed in the Time Seal.
The Time Main Body’s cultivation level had already reached the limit of the Spirit Refinement realm. As long as he wanted to, he could use the Time Seal to break through to the Void Returning Realm at any time.
However, Han Zhao had held back at the last moment. Not to mention the power of the Void Returning Heavenly Tribulation, it was definitely earth-shattering.
Now that he had grasped the “Time Seal”, his strength had improved further. Therefore, he planned to deal with Emperor Xuan Miao and the Heavenly Emperor Evil Corpse first. If he really couldn’t, he would break through to the Emperor Realm to avoid alerting the enemy.
