Chapter 5362: Is it worth it?
“How dare you be so impudent in front of the sacrificial square?”
The guard gritted his teeth. “This is the most sacred place in the Divine Kingdom. How can a human cultivator like you be allowed to roam free?”
“Holy?”
David sneered, raising his hand. A golden beam of spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips and he aimed it at the ground in front of the guard.
With a loud bang, the ground instantly cracked, a bottomless crevice appearing. The ground around the crack was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and a terrifying aura emanated from the crack.
The guard’s face paled in fear, and he staggered back a few steps, dropping his spear.
He stared at the crack, his eyes filled with fear—this power was definitely not something a first-level Earth God could possess!
“Now, am I worthy to enter?”
David stared at the guard, his tone still calm, yet filled with undeniable authority.
The guard trembled all over, not daring to say a single word “no.” He quickly made way: “Your honor… your honor… Fellow Daoist, please come in…”
Zi Yuan witnessed this scene, her shock deepening.
He finally understood that David had no power behind him. He was a hidden figure. His First-Rank Earth Immortal realm was most likely just a front.
The two entered the sacrificial square. The divine cultivators in the square stopped their ritual and glanced at David.
They looked at this plainly dressed first-stage Earth Immortal cultivator, who was accompanying Ziyuan’s staff, with confusion and contempt on their faces.
“Who is that? Why is he with Ziyuan’s stick?”
“He looks like the cultivator who brought the princess back. I heard he’s only a First-Rank Earth Immortal.”
“A First-Rank Earth Immortal dares to come to the sacrificial square? This is the most sacred place in the Divine Kingdom!”
The voices shouted, the eyes of the god cultivators filled with contempt and insults.
David didn’t notice. His gaze was fixed on the statue in the center of the square.
The statue had a solemn face, holding a scepter. Its body was carved with intricate divine patterns, radiating a rich aura of divine power.
David detected a familiar aura in these patterns.
The divine patterns on this statue bear a resemblance to the patterns on the Leiyin Bell, both filled with sealing power.
“Miss Zi, what material is your Divine Kingdom statue made of?” David asked suddenly.
Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said, “This statue is made from ‘Divine Meteorite Gold’ from the Heavenly Realm. Divine Meteorite Gold is filled with rich divine power and is the perfect material for making statues. What is it?”
“Nothing.” David shook his head, but he pondered.
Divine Meteorite Gold could contain divine power and could also be used to strengthen seals. The Leiyin Bell had been stolen, and the demon spirit was about to be freed. However, the Divine Kingdom statue possessed a similar sealing aura. Could there be a connection between the Divine Kingdom and the Leiyin Bell seal?
At that moment, on the high platform of the sacrificial square, an old man dressed in golden sacrificial robes opened his eyes.
His hair and beard were white, his face was full of wrinkles, yet he exuded an unexpected aura, the aura of the Human Fairyland!
It was the Ruler of the Divine Kingdom, Wu Hao.
David never imagined that the Lord of the Divine Kingdom would come from the Fairyland of Humans!
Thus, the strength of the Sixth Palace Lord of the Divine Temple was not as good as the King of the Divine Kingdom.
Even Taoist Priest Wuji of Leiyin Temple was not Wu Hao’s opponent.
No wonder the Divine Kingdom is so large, occupying such a vast Feng Shui treasure land, and no one comes to compete for it.
Wu Hao’s gaze fell on David, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he regained his composure: “Zi Yuan, is this the monk who escorted the princess back?”
Zi Yuan hurried forward and saluted: “My lord, yes. His name is David, and this time he has escorted Her Royal Highness Princess back to the Divine Capital safely.”
Wu Hao nodded, his gaze returning to David, and said in a calm tone: “Daoist David, thank you for escorting my daughter back. I wonder if you have any needs this time? The Divine Kingdom will definitely satisfy you.”
