Queen Ming Kong and the burly man from the Water Ape Clan both had heavy expressions on their faces. To be able to ensnare a Nascent Soul in illusion without their awareness, regardless of whether the name of the Nether Moon God was real or fake, he had to be at least more powerful than a Sleeping Witch who was a Great Soul Cultivator.

A hidden Great Soul Cultivator from the Sleeping Witch sect, if they were to act against them, they wouldn't stand a chance to resist. For now, they could only feign compliance and try to ascertain their true intentions before making a plan.

With this thought in mind, Queen Ming Kong and the burly man from the Water Ape Clan exchanged glances and then continued to let Queen Ming Kong take the lead in conversation with Yun Jiuxiao.

"We have witnessed the power of the Nether Moon God, but we don't know what kind of offerings of faith he requires from us," Queen Ming Kong asked.

Yun Jiuxiao was silent for a moment before continuing to relay the words conveyed by the Nether Moon God, "Honored seniors only need to put your hands together and pray towards the sky, silently chanting the name of the Nether Moon God in your hearts. As long as your intentions are sincere, the Nether Moon God will respond."

"Is that all we need to do? We don't need to understand what the Nether Moon God looks like?" the burly man from the Water Ape Clan asked with surprise.

On the Yunhuang Continent, the path of worship also existed, and understanding the external image of the being you believed in was fundamental so that you could offer your faith. Without even knowing what he looks like, how could you truly connect with this Nether Moon God?

"There is no need. As long as the three of you have sincere hearts, Lord Nether Moon God will naturally feel it," Yun Jiuxiao said.

Queen Ming Kong slightly furrowed her brows. Yun Jiuxiao kept emphasizing the need for sincerity, but there was no standard for what constituted sincerity, and the method of offering faith was incredibly simple. Could they really connect with the Nether Moon God that way?

Inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, Yuan Ming noticed Queen Ming Kong's expression and roughly guessed what she was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he gave new instructions.

"Perhaps the honored seniors could think of it this way: your island is currently in a moment of crisis, and you are powerless to do anything. You can only pray to a more powerful being for assistance. Praying with that mentality should count as devout," Yun Jiuxiao relayed.

Queen Ming Kong nodded slightly, said she understood, then turned to discuss with the burly man from the Water Ape Clan and White Scale Master.

Soon, they came to a decision: "We will do as the Nether Moon God says, but we have conditions. First, for the initial prayer, we must take turns and not pray at the same time. Secondly, we cannot be devout in prayer every moment. At most, we will pray once every two hours, and each time we pray, we hope that the Nether Moon God will respond, informing us of the outside situation and relaying our commands along with some items."

"Lord Nether Moon God has other important matters to attend to and cannot respond to each of your prayers, nor will he become a tool for you to relay commands and items to the outside world at will! Do you not think that this request is too excessive?" Yun Jiuxiao's face changed as he said angrily.

"Such a small request can't even be agreed upon, yet they expect us to offer our belief. This Nether Moon God really thinks too highly of himself," White Scale Master snorted.

"Now, you are in the Secret Realm of the Three Immortals Island, cut off from the world. To transmit the news and items from here, Lord Nether Moon God doesn't know how much power he must expend, yet what you three are offering is nothing more than your faith. What a clever calculation," Yun Jiuxiao scoffed.

White Scale Master's face flushed with blood at being mocked by a Core Formation junior, but remembering the previous illusion, he refrained from lashing out.

"Since the three of you are not sincere, then let's just drop this matter. You can figure out how to deal with the crisis outside on your own," Yun Jiuxiao said, turning to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, please hold on, Fellow Daoist Bai Lin didn't mean it that way," Queen Ming Kong quickly intervened to keep him from leaving.

Yun Jiuxiao stopped in his tracks.

"Since Lord Nether Moon God does not agree, let's amend the conditions. We will sincerely pray to Lord Nether Moon God every two hours, and the Nether Moon God does not need to respond but only needs to relay our commands and items once," Queen Ming Kong proposed.

"That is acceptable," Yun Jiuxiao waited for a moment, got the Nether Moon God's approval, and agreed to their request.

The deal was struck, and Queen Ming Kong, along with her two companions, did not delay, immediately beginning their first prayer.

The first to pray was the brawny man from the Water Ape Clan.

At first, his attitude was guarded, but when he thought about how the young monkeys on his island might now be in dire straits, his mood grew heavy. Although he still had many doubts, there was a trace of sincerity in his prayers that he did not even notice himself.

Soon, inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, Yuan Ming felt a surge of robust Desire Power coming from the void, thick as a golden dragon, circling above the White Jade Lotus Platform for a moment before pouring into his body.

He immediately activated his spell to devour and absorb this power.

However, the Desire Power was so immense that even with his main soul and first soul splitting working at full capacity, they couldn't keep up with the speed at which the power was entering. After only a short while, his Sea of Consciousness began to feel slightly swollen, and the speed at which he could absorb the Desire Power couldn't keep up with the rate of its influx.

Fortunately, he was inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod at that moment, and any Desire Power he couldn't absorb in time was channeled and stored into the White Jade Lotus Platform, giving him a brief respite and a chance to dedicate a portion of his divine consciousness to respond to the Water Ape Clan brawny man's prayer:

"I have felt your devotion, now, state your request."

The moment Yuan Ming's voice emerged, the Water Ape Clan brawny man immediately felt a powerful Divine Sense enveloping him, causing his heart to tremble. He hurriedly took out half a Jade Pendant and held it towards the sky.

"Please convey this object to my brother, instructing him to temporarily take the position of Grand Marshal of the Water Ape Island, to lead our people in repelling the Wu Yue Sect, and additionally tell him, if he encounters a dire predicament which seems insurmountable, he may take the risk of awakening the Ancestor Ape," said the man from the Water Ape Clan.

Inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, Yuan Ming cast the Six Jia Qimen Secret Skill, collecting the half Jade Pendant from the Water Ape Clan brawny man's hands.

In the cave, as the Water Ape Clan brawny man was wondering how the Nether Moon God would take the object away, he suddenly saw a golden and silver light gate forming in front of him.

He was startled and immediately probed with his Divine Sense, but he couldn't see through the essence of the golden and silver light gate or find the source of the power that formed it.

Following that, an invisible force emerged from the light gate, intending to take the half Jade Pendant from his hands.

He instinctively wanted to resist, but he found that with his strength alone, he couldn't even budge this intangible force, and could only watch helplessly as the half Jade Pendant flew into the light gate and disappeared.

"When you pray again, I will inform you of the outcome."

Yuan Ming left that message and then temporarily withdrew his Divine Sense that enveloped the Water Ape Clan brawny man.

On the other side, White Scale Master and Queen Ming Kong witnessed the entire exchange between the man from the Water Ape Clan and the Nether Moon God, observed the golden and silver light gate, and saw the futile resistance of the brawny man.

The reason they prayed one after another was both to confirm whether there were any traps behind this transaction and from the perspective of a bystander, to better assess the real strength of the Nether Moon God.

If until recently they had retained a glimmer of doubt, they now could finally be certain that the Nether Moon God was no ordinary Soul Cultivator, and his true realm might even surpass that of the Sleeping Witch.

After the Water Ape Clan brawny man's prayer was over, Queen Ming Kong and her companions did not immediately start the next prayer. Instead, they each employed their own techniques to check the man's condition, making sure he had not been afflicted with any Dark Curse, before they completely let down their guard.
