BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80 - 80: The Venerable is the Only One
“Do you see? The power of God-hidden emerges from within your body, returns to your body, and through cyclical growth, it can be accumulated and strengthened for your own use.” The Federation’s leader demonstrated to everyone the correct way to obtain God-hidden power.
To everyone else, God -hidden power did indeed originate from within their bodies, but through Jiang Li’s eyes, it was the power of merit born from the void, attaching itself to the Feng leader, and finally entering the Feng leader’s body to become his own power.
This was exactly the process of the arrival of merit power as recorded in the classics.
However, this process was not visible to an ordinary cultivator. Only the powerful ones at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage who have come into contact with the dao of immortality could see a glimpse of it. Moreover, the power of merit cannot be used by others as it was specialized. No wonder the followers of the God-hidden Cult firmly believed that this power originated from within, the power of the God-hidden.
They could only see the final outcome.
Upon seeing this, someone panicked, his face turned pale, and he turned to run.
He had committed many murders and offences outside, offending many people. He came here only because he heard that this was a mysterious and powerful organization and wanted to join them for protection. As for the Respected God-hidden, he scoffed at the idea, who would have thought that this organization would identify their faith in such an unbelievable way.
He considered himself amongst the Divinity Transformation cultivators who were skilled in escape techniques, and peers at the same realm would have no chance of stopping him.
Unexpectedly, several people within the Sect suddenly intercepted him. The Divinity Transformation cultivator who used the power of God-hidden was quickly caught and killed by someone skilled in the technique of escape, all while divvying up the power of God -hidden amongst themselves. With two people swiftly killed, everyone hesitated and didn’t dare to step forward. Only when the Federation’s leader was about to randomly pick someone, someone thought they believed in the Respected God-hidden, and there would be no problem.
He killed someone, but still did not receive the power of God-hidden.
“1…1 believe in the existence of the Respected God-hidden!” the person hastily declared.
“Merely believing in the existence of the Respected God-hidden is not enough. You also need to believe that the Respected God-hidden is the only one, your faith cannot have any flaws.” The leader of the organization regretfully shook his head, and then patted the person on the shoulder.
“However, there’s no need to worry. The God-hidden Cult is not a demon cult that is beyond redemption, seeing people and killing them. We believe that you need some time to adjust. You will be a peripheral member for a while. This is a test from the Respected God-hidden to you, okay?”
“Okay.”
The Federation’s leader smiled gently:’You wait on the side for the third stage of the ceremony.”
Jiang Li saw that the people standing by the Sect were gathering sound into a
line and transmitted it to the Federation’s leader, telling him who to kill and who to keep.
Gathering sound into a line in front of Jiang Li was like loudly shouting, he could hear it clearly.
Little Feng, kill this one.
Little Feng, keep this one.
These Divinity Transformation rites had wide knowledge and experience, and they could tell at a glance who was skeptical about the Respected God-hidden and who totally did not believe.
After that, four more people tried, but none had a reaction. However, all of them’s belief in the Respected God-hidden was not firm and needed improvement, so they were classified as peripheral members.
The first stage of the ceremony was quite useful after all.
Next, it was Cheng ZiQi’s turn, who came in with Jiang Li. Before the execution, he asked, “Leader, what do you mean by considering that the Respected One is the only one?”
The Federation’s leader put his hands together, paid his respects to the towering statue of the Respected God-hidden, then replied, “Sleeping, eating, getting married, making money, practicing… Everything revolves around the Respected God-hidden. Everything is a manifestation of the will of the
Respected God-hidden. The Respected One is your everything.”
“So even now, as you preside over the initiation ceremony, it’s also the Respected God-hidden’s will?”
“Everything is a manifestation of the Respected God-hidden’s will.”
Jiang Li frowned slightly. The criteria for joining the God-hidden Cult were high, requiring this level of spiritual awakening. Even if he truly believed in the existence of such a figure as the Respected God-hidden, it is impossible to think that everything he does revolves around the Respected God-hidden.
Moreover, why must gaining the power of merit pass through this God-hidden? Who is this Immortal figure?
Jiang Li had a bold guess that even he didn’t want to believe…
Cheng ZiQi seemed to understand something, decisively killed a man, and he was enveloped in a golden glow.
He was the first among the group to acquire the power of the God -hidden.
A few Divinity Transformation priests revealed a smile. It seemed that this time they had a promising seed.
Following Cheng ZiQi, it was Jiang Li’s turn.
The Divinity Transformation rites could all see that this Dragon Li fellow did not believe in the Respected God-hidden at all, not even attempting to pretend.
Good…he has killed…now take action…uh…where did he get the power of God-hidden from?
For the first time, several priests doubted their own vision. This Dragon Li got the power of God-hidden after killing someone?!
Of course, Jiang Li had the power of merit, and he stripped quite a lot from the elder who had exploded into a ball. Although it couldn’t be used, it was no problem just to fill the numbers.
Then what about this little girl? She was drawing and turning rope tricks and even sleeping during the first ceremony. They didn’t believe that Dragon KongKong’s faith in the Respected God-hidden was the same as their own!
The priests widened their eyes, scanned with Divine Sense, insisting on seeing that Dragon KongKong did not receive the power of merit after killing!
They just couldn’t believe they would mistake it twice!
Then they watched as the power of God-hidden emerged, enveloping Dragon KongKong.
“You have … passed,” the Federation’s leader looked at Dragon KongKong conflicted.
Dragon Kong Kong was a bit puzzled. She hadn’t even held her knife properly, so how could she have passed? Was it because she looked good?
“Hehe, this is self-created illusionary tribulation, which can make the person experiencing tribulation fall into illusion at will.” The Ruyi gourd requested reward, gathering sound into a line, “I made them fall into the illusion and see you gaining the power of merit.”
“What a powerful gourd.” Dragon Kong Kong opened her small mouth slightly, patting the purple Ruyi gourd.
“Let me tell you, as long as you follow me, you can go anywhere in this world and do whatever you want!”
“Are you as powerful as Jiang, the Human Emperor?” Dragon Kong Kong’s eyes were gleaming. Her greatest wish was to become as powerful as Jiang Li. …do you guess why I’m not by my master’s side now, but here?”
The Federation’s leader asked this one true believer, five temporary believers, and two fake believers to move forward a few steps under the gaze of the statue of the Respected God-hidden.
He took out eight bowls filled with some kind of blood: “Now it’s the third ceremony, and also the last one, swearing by water.”
“This is Holy Water granted to our Sect Hierarch by the Respected God-hidden, blessed by the Respected One. It contains the power to silence and constrain, and after drinking this water, none of you will be able to reveal any information about our cult by any means. ”
“Cheng ZiQi, Dragon Li, Dragon Kong Kong, your faith in the Respected One is clear to all, and you are qualified to become missionaries.”
The Federation’s leader singled out three bowls: “The water in these three bowls is different. After drinking it, some information about our sect can be revealed. Do the three of you have any questions?”
Jiang Li showed a friendly smile and raised his hand to ask, “I have no other questions, I just want to ask where our Sect Hierarch is?”
