Chapter 5343 Divine Guardian
He observed the corpse of the Three-Eyed Broken Scale Beast and found a pale green crystal inside its skull, emitting a faint spiritual energy.
“This is a Broken Scale Crystal. Perhaps it can be used to refine a potion to banish evil.”
He put away the crystal and turned to Hu Mazi. “It seems the danger in the Sixth Heaven is greater than we thought.”
Hu Mazi nodded and put away the talisman. “Let’s go. First, find a place with a lot of cultivators and inquire about the location of Leiyin Temple. And while we’re there, we can also find out what happened to that sacred kingdom. I don’t think it’s a simple place.”
Without stopping, the two of them floated into the air, out of the ancient forest. Along the way, they encountered several powerful demon beasts, but they were easily defeated.
About half an hour later, an open area appeared ahead. It was a small town nestled in a valley, with a wooden sign at the entrance reading “Qingqing Town.”
People came and went in the city, most of them cultivators, some wearing robes, some wearing armor, and some carrying large weapons. The lowest aura was at the seventh level of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
David and Hu Mazi entered the city and immediately attracted the attention of many. Although their auras had been restrained, the pressure of the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm still made the lower-level cultivators feel uneasy.
“My two fellow Daoists, have you just arrived at the sixth level?”
A middle-aged cultivator dressed in gray stepped forward with a friendly smile on his face, “I am Qingfeng City’s guide, my surname is Wang, if you want to ask about news or need accommodation, you can come to me.”
David looked at Guide Wang and realized that he was only at the seventh level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but he dared to take the initiative to talk to him, which showed courage.
“We want to ask about the location of Leiyin Temple,” David said, “In addition, we also want to know about the situation of the ‘God Kingdom’.”
Guide Wang heard the words “Divine Kingdom.” Upon hearing that word, his expression changed slightly. He subconsciously looked around and said in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist, matters of the Divine Kingdom cannot be discussed casually on the street!
“That’s the supreme power in the Sixth Heaven. It’s inhabited by gods, and they’re all arrogant. If we, human cultivators, offend them, at best our cultivation will be erased, and at worst, we’ll lose our lives!”
Hu Mazi frowned: “That great? What is the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the Temple? I heard that the Sixth Palace of the Temple is also in the Sixth Heaven.”
Guide Wang sighed and led the two of them to a corner of the teahouse to sit down. He ordered a pot of spiritual tea and then slowly said, “Although the Kingdom of God and the Temple of God both belong to the Gods, they are two different things.
The Kingdom of God is the realm of the orthodox Gods, occupying the ‘Godfall Plain’ in the eastern part of the Sixth Heaven. The gods there are all born with divine power and are extremely powerful.
The Sixth Hall of the Temple of God later became famous. They were located in the ‘Dark Canyon’ in the western part of the Sixth Heaven. The divine arts they practiced were rather unorthodox, and it was said that they even captured human monks to concoct medicines. The Kingdom of God looked down on them, and they refused to submit to the Kingdom of God. For many years, they had fought both openly and secretly.
“As for Leiyin Temple,” Guide Wang took a sip of his tea and continued, “This temple is one of the few neutral forces in the Sixth Heaven, built on ‘Leiyin Mountain.’ The temple’s abbot, Daoist Wuji, is a Ninth-Rank Earth Immortal. He is kind and often helps human cultivators. He disappeared for many years and recently reappeared. Starting from Qingfeng City, travel three thousand miles south and you will see Leiyin Mountain.”
David nodded, took out a fairy stone from his storage bag and handed it to Guide Wang: “Thank you, Brother Wang, for the information.”
Guide Wang took the fairy stone and his smile widened: “You are too polite, fellow Daoist. By the way, it seems like something has happened in the Divine Kingdom recently. I heard that a noble from the Divine Clan has escaped, and the Divine Clan has sent many people to track him down.
“If you encounter cultivators wearing silver armor and winged divine patterns on the road, be sure to stay away. They are the Divine Guards of the Divine Clan, and their strength is at least at the Eighth Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm!”
