Chapter 537 - 537 The Holy Infant Is Invincible
“Grandpa, you’re bragging. Immortals are all-powerful. Can Lord Holy Infant really defeat four Immortals?”
It would make sense if Lin Qiye had defeated one immortal-ranked powerhouse. However, it was a little exaggerated to say he had beaten four immortal-ranked powerhouses to the point where they had to run away.
If there was such a powerful person in the secular world, she would know.
Seeing the little girl questioning the Holy Infant, the old man was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared.
“What do you know, little girl? The Holy Infant is invincible! Weren’t they just four Immortals? Even if there are a hundred, Lord Holy Infant will still beat them up!”
When Lin Qiye’s abilities were mentioned, not only the villagers of Tata Village but all his believers would brainlessly defend him and firmly believe he was the strongest in the world.
The little girl did not dare to argue with the old man, but she roughly understood why the people here had such a fanatical belief in the Lord Holy Infant.
She knew that even if what the old man said was an exaggeration, much of it should have happened.
“Sigh, if only I had read the latest intelligence before coming out this time. Fatty is really something. He said he was out to find that person, but he left me here and disappeared.”
The little girl mumbled.
“What are you saying? I’m getting old. My ears aren’t that good anymore.”
The old man turned to the little girl and asked.
“Ah, it’s nothing. I’m just curious where the Holy Infant lives.”
The girl waved her hands.
She now had a rough idea that the strength of the local leader was around the Immortal Realm.
Such strength was already a threat to her.
Therefore, she did not dare to meet him rashly. She planned to sneak into his residence and continue investigating to see if she could get in touch with him.
The old man didn’t think much about it. He raised his hand and pointed to the depths of the village.
“Do you see the auspicious clouds over there? The temple below is the residence of the Holy Infant. Those who come to worship must go there for a walk.”
“Thank you, Grandpa. I’m going to find my mother!”
Before the old man could finish his sentence, the little girl jumped up with a whoosh and ran away in the blink of an eye.
She scuttled all the way, bypassing the crowd on the street like lightning.
“Is this the place?”
The little girl stopped in front of the gate of the City God Temple and looked at the grand hall. She was so shocked that she could not close her mouth.
Outside the City God Temple, the smell of incense was blocked by a formation and could not be felt.
But the moment she stepped into the temple, the powerful energy immediately refreshed her mind and made her feel comfortable.
“God! How could there be such pure and rich incense in the secular world? Could it be that the fellow living here is the reincarnation of a Supreme Being?”
The worshippers that entered the City God Temple all had solemn expressions and were pious.
No one was making a fuss, and even the children followed the adults quietly, not daring to play.
Only the girl had a face full of shock. She looked at the auspicious cloud above the City God Temple and the giant purple dragon faintly swimming within. Her mouth hung open, and she could not even speak.
“Thank you for your blessing, Lord Holy Infant!”
Just as the girl was in a daze, an excited voice was heard. She looked over and saw a middle-aged man kowtowing to a baby statue in the hall.
After Lin Qiye created the Outer Dao Dharma, a statue made of pure gold was built in the temple.
However, this wasn’t what the girl was concerned about.
What she noticed was that the middle-aged man kowtowing had a pair of crutches beside him. However, after kowtowing and thanking the Lord Holy Infant, he stood up. He did not use it but carried his crutch and ran out in high spirits.
A healthy person wouldn’t run around with a crutch, let alone bring a crutch to a pilgrimage.
The only explanation was that he was excited because his leg had been cured.
“Next.”
The girl’s gaze was quickly attracted by a servant guarding the left side of the statue.
Beside him was a large pot with a strong medicinal fragrance coming out of it.
The middle-aged man from earlier was so excited because he had drunk the thing in the large pot.
“Spiritual medicine?”
The little girl leaned forward in confusion.
When the surrounding pilgrims saw that someone had cut the queue, they turned around in dissatisfaction. However, when they saw it was just a curious little girl, they relaxed.
“Little girl, this is the Holy Infant’s residence. Don’t run around.”
A seductive cat girl suddenly appeared.
The girl’s path was blocked, but she still put on an innocent expression.
“Oh.”
She glanced at the pot behind the catgirl and was about to turn and leave when she saw the catgirl suddenly stunned. She immediately smiled and said, “Little girl, do you also like the Holy Infant?”
The catgirl had a look of adoration on her face as if she was fascinated by the little girl’s cuteness.
Upon seeing this, the little girl’s face brightened, and she quickly said, “Yes, yes! I like Lord Holy Infant the most!”
“How about I take you to where the Holy Infant usually lives? Do you want to come?”
The catgirl looked at the little girl with a smile.
The little girl was stunned for a moment before she nodded her head repeatedly.
“I want to go!”
She only thought the catgirl liked her, so she was willing to take her around the temple.
How could she let go of such a rare opportunity?
However, she did not notice that when she followed the catgirl to the backyard of the City God Temple, the catgirl’s eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible cunning.
The backyard, which had been renovated several times, was now mostly used by Lin Qiye as the formation’s core, except for the residence of Lonemoon and the others. Many core units had been built.
There were also some areas opened up to cultivate high-grade spiritual herbs. Those are the raw materials used to produce high-grade awakening potions. They were extremely precious.
The medicinal fragrance was confined in the backyard by an array. Only by stepping into it could one feel it.
“Why are there so many rare spiritual herbs here?”
The little girl looked at the square-shaped medicinal fields and was shocked.
She could feel that every stalk of the spiritual herb in those medicinal fields was an extremely rare existence. Even if it was placed in the place where she lived, no one could have so many.
“These medicinal ingredients are precious. Don’t touch them, or the Lord will be angry.”
The catgirl walked in front and introduced the things in the yard with a smile.
“Don’t touch those things either. They’re all important facilities.”
The little girl followed behind the catgirl and looked at the units used to construct the array. Her expression gradually turned from shock to numbness.
There were too many things that shocked her, and she couldn’t understand!
“This is the place where the Lord usually lectures on Dao. Believers like us rarely have the opportunity to come here.”
The catgirl pointed to a hall with a strong look of yearning.
“However, thanks to you, the next time His Lordship lectures on Dao, he will allow me to come and listen.”
Eh?
The little girl’s heart skipped a beat. The catgirl’s words gave her a bad feeling.
What did she mean by thanks to her?
Why did it feel like this tour wasn’t as simple as it seemed?
Before the little girl could figure out what was going on, the catgirl had led her to a door.
The door was wide open, and if one looked directly at it, one would see a youth sitting cross-legged in the center.
The divine light on the surface of his body circulated, and a purple halo enveloped him, making him look peaceful and serene.
However, under that peace, a faint flash of lightning made one’s heart tremble.
“What a terrifying power!” The little girl secretly gasped.
At this time, the catgirl suddenly stepped into the hall and respectfully said to the young man, “My Lord, I’ve brought the girl.”
Upon hearing this, no matter how slow the little girl was, she could understand that she had been tricked by the catgirl.
Without a second thought, she turned around and tried to escape.
However, she had only taken one step when her entire body was frozen.
The little girl’s heart was filled with shock. She turned around and saw the sleeping youth slowly opening his eyes.
The corners of the young man’s mouth curled up, and his teasing voice entered the little girl’s ears.
“Since you’re already here, why are you so hurried to leave?”
