Chapter 89: The Divine Sect's Main Altar

  The General Assembly of the Divine Teachings

  The Ice War understood that his own strength, in the eyes of his opponent, was nothing more than an insignificant existence, and his opponent had already shown mercy, otherwise he would have become a corpse by now.

  "Hurry up and leave! Do you want me to kill you before you'll stop?" said an old man wearing a green long gown.

  Bing Zhan gritted his teeth, finally deciding that he couldn't stay any longer. Although the Natural God Sect's doctrine did not advocate killing, however, after a hundred years had passed, if it weren't for the Seven System Mages expelling the Natural God Sect, the Natural God Sect wouldn't have ended up in this state, and would not have been forced to hide in the neighboring land of the demonic beasts.

  So, the natural hatred of the Seven System monks towards the Natural God Sect is understandable. If they were to truly ignite their anger, they probably wouldn't care about the teachings anymore and would definitely kill each other.

  The Ice War estimated that among these natural god cult followers, not to mention others, just the old man who led them was at least in the realm of moving heaven and earth. Moreover, it's likely that he had already entered the later stage of the Moving Heaven and Earth Realm and had begun to comprehend the terrifying existence of the Heavenly Way, which was not an existence that a single Carefree Realm could resist.

  "I'm leaving!!!" Bing Zhan said with a cold hum, and then, with a slight movement of his foot, he immediately rose into the air and flew out towards the outer reaches of Nan Huang.

  Ximo laughed and said, "Great priest, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid my niece would be in danger. You came just in time."

  "Ximo, you're too polite. The Seven Sects' masters are the natural enemies of my Natural Spirit Church, but we won't kill a whole row of people with one stick just because of past grievances. We won't hate all Seven Sects' masters just because of what happened back then. You, Ximo Lie, are one of the few Seven Sects' masters I can tolerate. Our arrival isn't too late either - as long as someone enters the Southern Wilderness, we can sense it. As long as their strength doesn't surpass mine, I can see through all their moves!"

  Having said that, the gaze of the great sacrifice turned to Zhou Yuan's body.

  "This young man is quite good, unexpectedly a rare Thunder System mage. In this era, it's probably very difficult for another Thunder System mage to appear again. This young man's character is also not bad, in times of crisis, he didn't abandon you all and run away, nor did he waste your efforts in saving his life."

  "It should be so, it should be so."

  "Young man, would you like to be our guest at the Church of Nature?" The high priest rarely showed a friendly smile, giving people a warm and refreshing feeling.

  Zhou Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and Da Jisi invited him to explain that he was also one of the few seven-series masters who were pleasing to the eye, and he himself was extremely curious about the natural god cult, wanting to see what kind of power existed outside of the seven elements. If there was an opportunity, Zhou Yuan really wanted to experience it, and it might be very beneficial for his cultivation.

  The ascension of the boundary is not just a matter of accumulating yuanli, even if one reaches the top of their yuanli, they will not be able to break through the boundary. It requires various opportunities, enlightenment, and accumulation. Even after hundreds of years of cultivation, a skilled practitioner may still be unable to break through. But perhaps, a single extraordinary encounter can give them a glimpse of insight, allowing them to instantly shatter their constraints and ascend to the next level of the boundary.

  The Seven System Mages are powerful, but they have an insurmountable obstacle. Ordinary people can only cultivate one elemental power, with the exception of those who are naturally gifted. This limits the development of each mage. Zhou Yuan's realm is not high, but he has a conjecture that he wants to break through to the highest realm. Simply cultivating one element is impossible to reach the peak, and only by cultivating all kinds of powers to achieve the Great Perfection can one become a pinnacle.

  And this idea, in the case of a seven-series monk, is impossible to achieve. Don't mention cultivating all seven elemental powers at once, even if you cultivate two together, it will immediately trigger conflicts between elements and lead to immediate physical collapse.

  So, Zhou Yuan has also been looking for another way to help him cultivate more power and understand more mysteries. Now, going to the Nature God Sect as a guest and figuring out the secrets of the Nature God Sect is undoubtedly a feasible path for him.

  Zhou Yuan immediately nodded and said, "The Grand Sacrifice invitation is an honor for a junior like me, I am more than willing to attend."

  The grand priest smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Zhou Yuan's humility. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow us, and you'll be able to reach the Nature Spirit Temple. Ximo, why don't you come and play for a while too?"

  Ximolü immediately laughed and said, "We are now being hunted down by the entire Daqian country and Huolu country. If we don't go to the Church of Nature, there is no place for us to settle down in this world for the time being. We will have to trouble the church for a while."

  "It's alright, the Master is currently in seclusion, he's not around, so what I say goes. You can move about freely within the Natural Spirit Sect, as long as you don't go to the forbidden areas, I believe no one will stop you."

  "Then thank you, great priest."

  A few people walked towards the depths of the southern wilderness.

  In order to prevent the pursuit and killing of the Seven Sects' cultivators, the Natural Spirit Sect's main altar was set up in a very hidden location. After all, this concerns the survival of the entire Natural Spirit Sect. If it is not set up in a somewhat hidden manner and is found by the Seven Sects' cultivators, then at that time, the entire Natural Spirit Sect will face the outcome of extinction.

  Only someone like Xī Mò Liè, who is absolutely trustworthy in grand ceremonies, would he take them to the Nature God Temple. Someone like Zhōu Yuán, whom he had just met once, was taken to the Nature God Temple; this phenomenon is extremely rare.

  A few people walked slowly on the road, and many places that were obviously overgrown with thorns, but Da Jisi deliberately ran towards those places. However, after he passed through those areas, the scene in front of him immediately changed to another view.

  Zhou Yuan knew that this was a naturally arranged formation mechanism by the Natural God Sect, and without a specific route, even if he walked for a hundred years, it would be impossible to find the entrance, and walking to the Natural God's main altar would ultimately lead to being completely trapped here.

  After walking for nearly half an hour, a clearing suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Yuan.

  Under a barrier, there was actually a city, with various pavilions and buildings, neatly arranged, giving the impression of being in order. The streets were bustling with people coming and going, yet the people here also made Zhou Yuan feel surprised, as this place did not resemble the cities of Da Qian country, where one had to avoid the nobles from afar, and the classes between people were clearly divided.

  Here, Zhou Yuan could see that there were no nobles here. Everyone was wearing almost the same clothes, equally bright and beautiful. When they met, they all greeted each other warmly, a peaceful and harmonious scene.

  However, due to the seal of the boundary, Zhou Yuan still couldn't hear their voices, but judging from their expressions, they were all very polite.

  "Open!!!" The Grand Priest pointed a finger below the seal, and immediately, a stream of runes flowed from his fingers and imprinted themselves on the seal.

  In an instant, the seal shook violently, and a circular passage was formed. The great priest led the way in.

  As soon as he entered the boundary, all kinds of voices were transmitted into Zhou Yuan's ears, and it was indeed a lively and extraordinary scene.

  Zhou Yuan's heart was shocked, the means of the great sacrifice he had just seen, he realized that with one finger, he could draw a talisman and open the boundary, and he himself did not have any elemental power fluctuations, even the yuan power fluctuations were extremely small.

  "Can actually create runes out of thin air, true power is not simple? Is this the power of nature? What a mysterious power, if possible, I will definitely ask the great priest for advice, but now it's not time yet, can't be too abrupt, otherwise, it will only backfire."

  Zhou Yuan made up his mind, and if he had the chance to enter the Nature God Sect, he would definitely take the opportunity to ask for guidance from the Great Priest, hoping that it would help his cultivation and allow him to break through to the Killing Life Realm.

  "This is the Nature Spirit Sect, how can there be ordinary people here?" Huo Feng Huang asked in confusion. In her eyes, the Nature Spirit Sect should be composed entirely of experts who cultivate the power of nature and kill without a trace. However, before her eyes, there were many small vendors and peddlers, not a single one of them looked like an expert.

  Obviously just an ordinary person.

  "You're wrong, they look like ordinary people, but they cultivate the power of nature, which is completely different from the seven elemental powers. In fact, these people's strength is all terrifying. Look at that date seller, his strength can be compared to the realm of killing life, if he were to fight, ordinary killing life realm mages wouldn't be his match." Ximo Lie said seriously.

  The Grand Priest nodded, "What Ximo said is correct, it's indeed the case. Our power is difficult for you to detect because we don't have the power of the seven elements on our bodies. You can't see it at all. Only by sensing the depth of our internal energy can you estimate our actual strength and compare it with your mages' to determine our level."

  Zhou Yuan's heart suddenly felt clear and bright, and with this method, these "ordinary people" looked at him in shock. The yuan force on their bodies was extremely powerful, and the majority of these ordinary people were more terrifying than the killing calamity boundary cultivators. In this place, they were truly nothing out of the ordinary.

  What's even more absurd is that Zhou Yuan saw two children playing and fighting, both of whom had the strength of the Golden Core realm. Zhou Yuan immediately felt like crying and laughing at the same time. With his own exceptional talent and diligent cultivation, he hadn't expected to have a similar level of attainment as the children of the Natural God Sect.

  "Indeed, there are many masters here...". Zhou Yuan let out a helpless sigh.

  Dà Jìsì and Xī Mòliè exchanged a knowing smile, clearly they understood what Zhōu Yuán meant.

  Next, the grand priest led several people to the very center of the city, where there was a huge palace surrounded by heavily guarded walls. It was clear that this was the place where the Natural God Sect Master cultivated.

  In the front of the palace, there was an altar surrounded by various kinds of monster heads with their mouths wide open and eyes painted crimson, looking extremely frightening.

  The fire phoenix couldn't help but lean closer to Ximo Lie.

  "This is the altar of God, it is a must-pass place for entering the mysterious place of my religion!"

  The palace is surrounded by many large and small buildings, which are used to introduce the grand sacrificial rites. The place where the high-level members of the church live is closer to the main hall of the church, the higher the power, the closer the residence.

  Soon, the high priest arranged for Zhou Yuan and his companions to be accommodated in a residence very close to the main hall of the sect, clearly showing that the high priest was taking good care of them.

  After seeing off Da Jisi, Zhou Yuan and the other two discussed it and decided to go to the main street of the Nature Spirit Sect to take a stroll and get a feel for the local customs.

  Huǒ Fèng Huáng was clearly a restless person, once outside his residence, he became extremely excited, jumping around like a sparrow. Seymour and Zhou Yuan could only smile wryly at this.
