As the members of the Yin Gui Sect chanted the "Meditation Method," they unknowingly arrived in a gray and murky world.
Vast and boundless.
Chaos without end.
And in the heart of this Boundless Chaos, there existed a figure so magnificent that no words could describe it.
Myriads upon myriads of galaxies spun into threads, woven into a robe of stars casually draped over the figure.
Galaxies cascaded amongst its hair, dazzling and captivating.
Infinite Ancient Universes flickered into existence and vanished into nothingness around it.
It was the origin of all things.
The center of the heavens and earth.
Everlasting and immortal.
Most holy and divine.
Supreme and unparalleled.
When Shangshang saw this indescribable and immortal figure, her mind went blank.
At that moment, she truly believed Zhu Yuyan's words. There really were Divine Spirits. Her master had not deceived her.
After a while, Shangshang awoke from that strange state, slowly opening her eyes.
Wen Caiting, Elder Yun, Elder Xia, and the others also gradually awoke.
"It turns out there really are gods in this world!" Wen Caiting exclaimed, feeling her legs go weak, a storm raging in her heart.
"Divine Spirits are indeed so great, unimaginable, beyond measure."
"It's not that there are no gods in the world, but that our Cultivation Level is too low; we simply cannot reach them!"
Elder Yun, Elder Xia, and the others stared in shock. The scene they had just witnessed completely overturned their worldview, fundamentally changing their understanding of reality.
It was too terrifying. Too fearsome.
"I've broken through!"
"I've actually broken through to Grandmaster!"
"I've broken through as well!"
A series of exclamations suddenly rang out. The experts, still reeling from the shock of the Divine Spirit's magnificence, snapped back to their senses just in time to hear Shangshang joyfully exclaim, "My Heavenly Demon Technique has reached Perfection! I've advanced to Great Grandmaster!"
"What? Shangshang has advanced to Great Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Caiting and the others exclaimed in shock. Then they realized that their own Cultivation Levels had also skyrocketed, and most had broken through to Great Grandmaster as well.
Their Cultivation Levels were originally high, but now Shangshang had caught up with them.
They knew it was because they hadn't been as devout as Shangshang just moments before.
"Open Up Chaos..."
In an instant, Wen Caiting and the others began to pray devoutly once again.
This time, they were more devout than anyone, at any time before.
When the prayer ended, they found that their Cultivation Levels had still improved somewhat, but compared to the first time, it was far less.
"Everyone, the divine favor granted by our God is greatest during the first prayer. If you miss it, it's gone," Zhu Yuyan explained to the confused and somewhat disappointed Elders and disciples. "However, subsequent prayers, although not as potent as the first, still carry divine favor. This is sustainable!"
Sustainable?
Their eyes lit up. Although the second time yielded less, it was still much faster than their own Cultivation.
As long as the divine favor was not diminishing but continuously granted, that was wonderful.
Becoming stronger through daily prayer was easier and faster than Cultivation on their own.
At that moment, they seemed to have discovered the true essence of Cultivation.
Hard Cultivation and all that? To hell with it! Is it as good as praying to a Divine Spirit?
Everyone became excited. Knowing that with the care of a Divine Spirit, they could grow stronger just by praying—the rise of the Yin Gui Sect was imminent.
The Martial arts sacred place Cihang Jingzhai and the Pure Zen Sect would be nothing before their Yin Gui Sect.
Not to mention the future, even now they had six Great Grandmasters, dozens of Grandmasters, and hundreds of Innates—a force powerful enough to sweep through Cihang Temple and the Pure Zen Sect.
"Everyone, now you have felt the greatness of the God of Hongmeng and received immense benefits, haven't you?"
"But this is just the most basic. As long as you believe in the God of Hongmeng, you can receive divine favor. If you want to receive the true rewards from the God of Hongmeng, we need to spread His teachings and hold a grand ritual sacrifice for Him!"
"By then, forget merely increasing strength; it's very possible to gain Ten Thousand Years of Power, add ten thousand years to your lifespan, obtain Immortal Scriptures, and even become a fairy or a god!"
As Zhu Yuyan's words fell, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of Wen Caiting, Shangshang, and the others, their bodies trembling with excitement.
Ten Thousand Years of Power, ten thousand years of lifespan...
The hearts and minds of Shangshang and the others reeled from the unimaginable impact, their breathing becoming rapid.
And even Immortal Scriptures! The chance to become a fairy, a god! Eternal life! Who could resist such temptation?
"Master, is everything you said true?" Shangshang swallowed hard, her full chest heaving, her beautiful, spirited eyes full of shock and fervor.
"Of course!" Zhu Yuyan confirmed. Looking at her favorite disciple, she continued, "I could even offer you alive as a sacrifice, allowing you to directly achieve godhood, ascend to God's kingdom, and serve the great God of Hongmeng!"
"Sect Leader, if one is offered as a sacrifice, can one directly achieve godhood and ascend to God's kingdom?" Wen Caiting asked, her breathing becoming more rapid, her eyes nearly crimson.
The temptation was too great. The others were similarly alight with desire, their hearts pounding in their throats.
"Elder Wen, you can forget about it." Zhu Yuyan, seeing Wen Caiting's gleaming eyes, spoke indifferently. "To be offered as Sacrifices to our God, to be transformed into a god under the divine favor of the God of Hongmeng and ascend to God's kingdom—do you think just anyone is qualified?"
"At the very least, one must be a pure virgin!"
Wen Caiting's gaze faltered, her whole being as though doused in cold water.
She specialized in charm and illusion techniques, controlling several paramours who served her.
Her virginity was long gone.
Many others with similar backgrounds also looked dejected upon hearing this.
They had no doubt about Zhu Yuyan's words. What kind of existence is the God of Hongmeng? He is the supreme, Immortal God! Is just anyone qualified to be offered as a sacrifice to Him?
