Chapter 90: The Purple Realm

  Purple Kingdom

  Zhou Yuan and his two friends wandered aimlessly on the streets, experiencing the local customs and people, all three of them were having a great time.

  From brief contact, they fully felt the enthusiasm of the Nature God Sect disciples. Although many people's strength was much higher than theirs, when facing them, they were still polite and courteous, unlike in Da Qian Country where those with higher strength would suppress others, with strict hierarchy.

  It feels very warm and cozy here.

  The three of them strolled around many places, ate a lot of snacks, and after half a day's play, all three felt their eyes were opened wide.

  "Uncle Seymour, this natural theology is really too wonderful, unlike our world, so full of deceit and hypocrisy, it's truly a paradise on earth."

  Ximo gently stroked the head of Huo Fenghuang, "Yes, that's what the Natural God Sect teaches. I haven't seen the sect leader myself, but I've heard he's a great and virtuous person."

  "I really don't know what kind of state the leader of this Natural God Religion has reached." Zhou Yuan sighed and said.

  "His boundary is deep and immeasurable, beyond our imagination. At the very least, he has already transcended the realm of magic and even surpassed the boundaries of space."

  Suddenly, something appeared in front of them, and Zhou Yuan's attention, along with that of his two companions, was immediately captured.

  The three of them soon arrived at the bustling central point.

  "Altar of God?" Ximolang was shocked, he didn't expect that they had unknowingly arrived in front of the Temple of the Lord, and there were so many people gathered around.

  "Is the Grand Priest here too?" Ximo Lie was taken aback, he hadn't expected that after the Grand Priest sent them to their residence, he would come here, and what's more, the altar of the gods had gathered so many people around it, obviously, there was something important going on.

  "Dà jì sì xiǎn rán yǒu shén me shì qíng bù xiǎng ràng wǒmen zhī dào, shén zhī jì tán shì zì rán shén jiào de hé xīn, shì jìn dì zhī zhōng de jìn dì, tā tōng wǎng de shén mì suǒ zài, zhǐ yǒu shén jiào de jué duì gāo céng cái néng rù qù!"

  Translation:

  "The Grand Priest obviously has something he doesn't want us to know. The Altar of the Gods is the core of the Nature God Cult and it's a forbidden place within the forbidden land, leading to a mysterious location that only the highest echelons of the cult can enter."

  Although Zhou Wu San thought it was bad to pry into other people's secrets, they couldn't resist their curiosity and squeezed around the crowd.

  The high priest apparently also saw them, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but soon returned to calm, and the high priest stood in the center of the altar of God facing the crowd.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, in a moment, it will be the time for the opening of the Altar of God. As in previous years, everyone will have the opportunity to walk on the Altar of God once. Whether or not one can enter the Purple Land depends entirely on each person's luck."

  Everyone was quietly listening, and no one made a sound.

  "Alright, now go in one by one!"

  Immediately, the people surrounding the altar of God yielded to one another and began forming a long queue, each walking up onto the altar of God.

  The first one went up, walked around on the altar, and had no reaction. Then he walked down from the altar with a disappointed face.

  Then comes the second one, still no response.

  The third...

  The tenth...

  Finally, when the twenty-second person stepped onto the altar, suddenly, the altar reacted. The ferocious beast heads with open bloody mouths emitted beams of light that converged and crossed over, all focusing on this person's body. Immediately, amidst his astonished expression, his body gradually faded away, and then vanished.

  "Great, someone has successfully entered the Purple Realm!!!" The surrounding crowd immediately burst into an uproar, which only added to Zhou Yuan's confusion.

  "Xī Mò senior, you know more about the Nature Spirit Sect than we do. Do you know what the Purple Country is? And what's the point of doing this? It seems that young man just now was transported to a special place!" Zhōu Yuán asked in puzzlement.

  Ximolied nodded, "I've also heard a little about it. The Purple Realm is where the Altar of the Gods leads to. That's the true core of the Nature God Sect. In that mysterious place, there are the most fundamental secrets of the Nature God Sect. Perhaps, only in the Purple Realm can one unlock the secrets of the Nature God Sect's magic."

  Zhou Yuan's heart suddenly became excited, unlocking the secrets of the Nature Spirit Sect was the purpose of his visit this time. He wanted to break through to a higher realm and needed different powers to mutually verify each other, so that he could climb to the peak.

  "If I could enter the Purple Land, I would be able to unravel the secrets of the Nature Spirit Sect!" Zhou Yuan muttered to himself.

  "How is that possible? Only the followers of the Nature's God Sect have the qualifications to ascend to the Altar of Gods. They are already showing you great favor by allowing you to come to the headquarters of the Nature's God Sect, and yet you still want to ascend to the Altar of Gods? That's truly an outrageous idea."

  Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I was just talking, I didn't really expect to achieve this goal."

  At this moment, the high priest standing at the edge of the altar of God suddenly shook his body, a voice in his heart flowed, and after a while, he slowly walked towards Zhou Yuan.

  "Boy, you also go to the altar of God and try it out. I hope you have enough opportunities to enter the purple country."

  Zhou Yuan was stunned, Xi Mo Lie was stunned, even Huo Feng Huang was stunned.

  "How could he possibly be invited to step onto the altar? What reason could there be?" Seymour's heart was filled with countless questions, but he couldn't get any answers, leaving him extremely distressed.

  Zhou Yuan said in shock, "I'm not a Natural Divine Cultivation practitioner, can I also ascend to the Altar of Gods?"

  The high priest nodded and said, "Right, anyone outside of the natural gods' teachings cannot ascend to the altar, but you can. Go ahead, don't ask why, because if you do, I won't tell you."

  At this point, Zhou Yuan would not continue to ask questions one-sidedly. At this moment, many people had stepped onto the altar of the gods, but they all went down together. Until now, only a handful of people have entered the Purple Domain.

  The high priest was always the focus of everyone's attention, and what he said to Zhou Yuan, everyone heard clearly. Although everyone did not understand why the high priest would allow a non-Nature God Cult person to step onto the altar of the gods, the high priest was the number one person under the sect master, and his decision, no one dared to question.

  Everyone silently watched as Zhou Yuan walked towards the Altar of God, now a silence so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

  Zhou Yuan stepped onto the Altar of Gods under the gaze of countless people.

  "Hum..." As soon as Zhou Yuan stepped onto the altar, more than a dozen beast heads suddenly emitted rays of light that shot out rapidly. The momentum was several times stronger than those of the others who had just entered the Purple Domain.

  Zhou Yuan's body was bathed in a brilliant light, gradually fading away, and in an instant, he disappeared from the altar of the gods.
