Chapter 455: Yi Zu's True Intention

"I am not anxious, but I am a little confused because I don't know much about Master's arrangement."

Only then did Chai Xin understand that the so-called great calamity of the gods was actually, in essence, a calamity for the three thousand worlds in the lower realm.

To the almighty Immortal Realm, it could only be regarded as a foreign war of considerable scale.

In fact, you can see some of this by reading the original novel. The number of Heavenly Kings in the fairy world alone is almost the sum of the number of Heavenly Kings in other worlds.

As for cultivators such as Half-Step Heavenly Monarch and Supreme Immortal, the ratio is roughly the same.

Given such a huge power gap, it would be a huge joke if the Immortal Realm were still able to allow the Divine Realm to invade their homeland on a large scale.

"But Master, I still have a question, and I would like to ask you to clarify it."

When Chai Xin saw Yi Zu nodded, he expressed the last confusion in his mind.

"The so-called subordinates of the Yongning Prefecture branch are only so strong, and none of them is stronger than me. If that's the case, why should I bring such a large group of burdens with me? It would be better to charge into the God Clan army alone, and it would be more refreshing and free of worries."

This was what he really thought. After learning about the overall strength of the Yongning Prefecture branch, he felt a little disappointed.

If he led these people to fight against the army of gods, he felt that it would only add a lot of burdens and would not bring much practical benefit.

A supreme saint immortal is enough to suppress dozens of ordinary saint immortals alone.

And if a dozen ordinary saints unite together, they can easily crush hundreds of Yuanxian.

In other words, the human wave tactics used in secular dynasty wars seem to be of little use among monks.

Moreover, with so few people at the Yongning Prefecture branch, how could it be called a "sea of ​​people"?
Although those armored guards have the strength of Yuanxian level, which can be regarded as a terrifying force in the outside world, but to the existence of the Saint Immortal realm, they are nothing more than a colony of ants that can be destroyed with one hand.

Unless tens of thousands of Yuanxians set up a formation, it would be difficult to stop the Holy Immortals even if thousands of Yuanxians joined forces.

As for those geniuses who can rival the Saint Immortals in the Yuanxian Realm, how could the sect leaders allow them to serve as armored guards, which are almost cannon fodder in a large-scale war?

Just like Zhang Daochen, Jin Zhenyu and others, they are all among the top ten saints.

If he really were to be sent out, he would at least be the deputy leader of a branch temple, and would never become an ordinary armored guard.

Not to mention, there are only thirty-three Yuanxian-level saints in the entire Shenzhou Sect, which is not enough to form an armored guard team.

Therefore, the Yuanxian among the Jiawei are just ordinary Yuanxian. Even if a few of them have stronger combat power, they are still just a minority and cannot affect the overall situation.

Chai Xin felt very confused as to why Yi Zu asked him to take over such an organization.

But at the same time, he also believed that a person like Yizu would never act without a purpose, and his actions must have a deep meaning.

What's more, this is an arrangement for his closed disciple.

"Silly boy, do you think that a capital city branch of one of the top 100 states has only this much foundation? If that were the case, how could it protect such a large business!"

As expected, when Yi Zu heard Chai Xin's doubts, he burst into laughter.

"Not to mention this capital, even other prefectures have certain hidden powers."

"Hidden power?"

When Chai Xin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly had some associations.

"If that's the case, why didn't you come out to take care of the situation when I was fighting with Qin Shu just now?"

"Since it is a hidden power, it will certainly not be easily revealed. Besides, you are the leader of the altar, and you are just disciplining your disobedient subordinates. Even if the headmaster is here, he will not say anything more."

When Yi Zu reached this point, he pointed his finger towards the city which was getting closer and closer below.

Chai Xin looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a Taoist temple covering an area of ​​more than ten acres in the middle of the city.

"The main gate of this Taoist temple...is exactly the same as the main gate of the main temple, except that it is scaled down by who knows how many times."

Chai Xin only took a glance and immediately noticed the special features of the Taoist temple.

"Yes, it is the miniature mountain gate of our sect. The statue of our ancestor Jiuding Tianjun is enshrined in this temple, and countless disciples and believers worship it. Do you know how amazing the power of faith contained in the statue is after years of accumulation?"

Yi Zu nodded slightly and asked Chai Xin a question in return, but he didn't want him to answer.

"Although 99% of it will be sent back to the main altar, 10% will still be stored here. Whenever there is a critical moment of life and death, the altar master has the right to control this huge force of faith."

Having said that, Chai Xin completely understood.

In the lower world, many natural gods with fifth or sixth level magical powers will have a huge number of believers who worship them and rely on the power of faith to practice.

In the fairy world, such cultivation methods are numerous.

As for beings like the Heavenly Monarch, they are idols revered by countless cultivators. They have believers in all the heavens and worlds, and in countless small worlds.

The power of faith generated between every breath is so huge that it is unimaginable.

For the Heavenly Lord himself, this massive power of faith is actually of little use, but it can be bestowed on his followers and servants.

The reason why the top forces in the fairy world can remain prosperous for a long time is that they are blessed with this massive power of faith.

Even though some Heavenly Kings have fallen and reincarnated, the major forces are still able to maintain their status, which is also because the power of faith suppresses their destiny.

Of course, without the presence of the Heavenly Sovereign, the power will inevitably decline.

After all, the power of faith must always play a role in suppressing luck, and the consumption is also extremely high.

Moreover, rumors of the Heavenly Emperor's death would spread uncontrollably in the dark, and then affect the beliefs of believers.

Gradually, your expenses will not be enough to cover your income.

"In recent years, our sect has shown some signs of decline. This is because the news of our founder's injury spread, affecting the believers in all the heavens and the worlds. The power of faith has weakened, and our luck has naturally declined."

Yi Zu narrated all this calmly, which also broadened Chai Xin's horizons.

"Now that the ancestor's injuries have fully recovered, the negative impact has been eliminated. The sect will naturally get better and better and return to its former heyday."

Chai Xin nodded, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Since Master has ordered me to come here, I think the power of faith is definitely not just for suppressing luck, right?"

"Hahaha, now you're smart!"

Yi Zu joked with him, then nodded with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, this power of faith has a great tempering effect on cultivators below the half-step heavenly monarch level. Regardless of the soul or the body, under the tempering of the power of faith, it can be strengthened at least twice!"

Even with Chai Xin's strong character, he was shocked by these words and widened his eyes. He said in disbelief, "It can be used so well?"

Once on Earth in the world of Zhatian, he gained some power of faith from the so-called temple in the West.

However, even for him whose cultivation was still shallow at that time, the power of faith was not very effective and could only be used to refine magical instruments.

However, Chai Xin is, after all, an emperor's son with a reverted ancestral bloodline, and his soul has experienced traveling through the multiverse, which has greatly enhanced his essence.

The power of faith is of little use to him.

If it was someone else with the same cultivation level as him at that time, it would still be of great use. However, it is impossible for the physical body and soul to be at least doubled as what Yi Zu said!
The most important thing is that Yi Zu is very clear about Chai Xin’s current strength.

Chai Xin's physical and spiritual strength far exceeds that of his peers, so it is naturally extremely difficult to enhance them.

Knowing this, he still let Chai Xin come here, which shows the extraordinary power of this faith.

"You don't have to be surprised. Any branch of our sect has been established for at least 90 billion years. The power of faith accumulated over these long years, both in purity and quantity, far exceeds any power of faith you have ever seen before."

As if seeing through Chai Xin's thoughts, Yi Zu explained calmly.

"Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. You should understand this principle. Such high-quality faith power, in huge quantities, will naturally have a significant effect."

When Chai Xin heard the words "nine hundred billion years", he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

Time can be said to be one of the greatest forces in the world. It can evolve into infinite mysteries that even the Immortal King finds difficult to comprehend, let alone control.

Chai Xin was not surprised that the power of faith accumulated over 90 billion years could undergo any miraculous transformation.

"But Master, in these 90 billion years, it is impossible that no one has ever used the power of faith, right?"

After the shock, Chai Xin discovered another blind spot.

The branch temple had been established for so many years, and there must have been countless temple masters, and it had also experienced countless wars.

It is simply impossible to say that in all these long years, no one has ever used the power of faith contained in this place.

"Of course it has been used, but it only has the opportunity to be used once every tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. How much can it consume?"

Yi Zu answered as a matter of course.

"So, not all altar masters have the opportunity to use the power of faith?"

"Of course. Didn't the master say that it can only be used in a matter of life and death? It's a pity that your sixteenth senior brother doesn't have this fate."

Speaking of this, Yi Zu also sighed softly.

"The term of office of a temple master will not exceed 50,000 years. When he first served as the temple master, the temple did not encounter a life-or-death disaster, so there was no chance to use the power of faith."

Hearing this, Chai Xin couldn't help but sigh that luck is indeed something mysterious and unpredictable, yet at the same time extremely important.

For ordinary cultivators, it is a disaster that can be regarded as a calamity, but for a genius like Chai Xin, it is also an opportunity.

"The power of faith has many wonderful uses. No one can predict how much it can strengthen a cultivator's body and soul."

Yi Zu calmed down and continued to introduce Chai Xin.

"Generally speaking, the stronger one's soul and body are, the more they can withstand the baptism of the power of faith, and the more they will naturally improve. According to my guess, given your condition, you should be able to strengthen at least twice, and even three times is not impossible."

It is not easy to increase the strength of the body and soul by a little bit, which is much more difficult than improving the level of cultivation.

Especially when one reaches Chai Xin's level, it is extremely difficult to improve even by 10%, let alone increase it by multiples?

"If my physical body and soul can be improved by more than three times, my overall combat power will be at least ten times stronger! By then, I might be able to fight against a Supreme Immortal with my Primordial Immortal body!"

Chai Xin was fascinated by what he heard and wished he could enter the Taoist temple immediately to receive the tempering of the power of faith.

"In addition to the most direct increase in combat power, potential will also be greatly improved, truly reaching the level of those geniuses who appear once every billions of years..."

The soul and body are the real foundation of a cultivator.

The deeper the foundation, the greater the ability you can exert and the achievements you can achieve in the future.

"No wonder Master arranged for me to come here. It turns out there are such benefits! However... since the army of the gods cannot invade the fairyland, how can this Yongning Mansion branch encounter a crisis of life and death?"

While feeling delighted, Chai Xin suddenly thought of the most crucial point.

"Don't worry about that. This invasion by the gods will be the most severe in history. It is very likely that all three thousand worlds will be invaded, causing unprecedented negative impacts."

Yi Zu shook his head and signaled Chai Xin to stay calm.

"Therefore, the Council of Elders has decided that all branch altars ordered to go to the lower realm to fight can carry some of the power of faith with them in case of emergency."

"What if the Yongning Prefecture branch is not dispatched..."

Chai Xin was still a little worried.

"You can rest assured about this. All the branch altars in the capital will be sent to the lower world. And as the master of the altar, you will also come into contact with the statue."

It was a rare sight to see this last disciple so anxious, and Yi Zu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"How much of the baptism of faith power you can endure at that time depends entirely on your own luck."

"This way, it's foolproof."

Chai Xin finally felt relieved after hearing this, and immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Master. You are so troublesome!"

Yi Zu smiled and waved his hands: "Why are you being polite to your master? Besides, this is your good fortune. I am just doing something small to help you. It is not worth mentioning."

Chai Xin felt more moved after hearing this, but he didn't say anything more. He just bowed deeply again.

"Reporting to the altar master, we have arrived at the branch altar station."

As the carriage landed with a sense of solidity, Chu Qingshan's respectful voice came in at the right time.

"it is good."

Chai Xin responded, said goodbye to Yi Zu, lifted the door curtain and walked out.

"Your humble servants are here to greet the altar master!"

The moment he stepped out of the carriage, neat greetings rang out simultaneously.

Chai Xin looked up and immediately saw hundreds of male and female monks dressed in Shenzhou Sect uniforms, standing in two rows on a wide square in front of the temple, bowing respectfully with their fists clasped.

"No gift."

Chai Xin replied calmly, and everyone immediately stood up, but none of them dared to look at his face directly, and only dared to glance at him out of the corner of their eyes.

"Master, this is the Council Hall. Please come in."

Chu Qingshan took half a step forward, stretched out his hand, pointed at a large palace several hundred feet away, and introduced it to Chai Xin in a low voice.

"Ah."

Chai Xin nodded, took a step forward and headed towards the palace.

The others hurried to follow.
