Chapter 462 Nine Cauldron Temple
The next day, Shenning City.

Chai Xin single-handedly defeated the two chieftains of Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain. When the news spread back to the city, it naturally shocked many elders and disciples in the sect.

Many people were somewhat nervous. The new leader was so stubborn, and they didn't know what kind of disaster this would bring to the branch temple.

But at the same time, everyone's awe of Chai Xin reached a new level.

After all, how incredible is it that a Yuanxian-level figure has the power to suppress an invincible Saint Immortal?

Everyone understands that such a peerless genius has a bright future. It is easy for him to become a sage, and even reaching the realm of the ultimate immortal is almost a foregone conclusion.

Many people even think that this new leader of the altar may really step into the most difficult path of the emperor as rumored, and achieve a half-step heavenly monarch.

For such a genius, with Yi Zu as his master, everyone knows that Shenzhou Sect will attach great importance to him and is unlikely to allow Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain to blame him.

What's more, this incident was caused by the two major sects' mistakes first, and instead of harming anyone, they suffered disaster. Chai Xin defeated the invading enemy, which was a meritorious act.

If the Shenzhou Sect cannot even protect and reward such a talented disciple who has made great contributions to the sect, how can it face the countless disciples?

Even when the news spread to the outside world, all the major forces in the fairy world would laugh at the Shenzhou Sect for being timid and cowardly.

After being attacked by Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain, they turned around and suppressed their own disciples who had made great contributions in defending against the enemy. Isn't this the extreme of weakness and gullibility?
As one of the top powers, the top leaders of Shenzhou Sect would never resort to such a desperate measure even if it was to maintain the prestige of the sect.

This was indeed the case. Just as the entire Yongning Prefecture was discussing the matter, an envoy arrived at Yongning Prefecture from Shenzhou Gate.

"I am here on the orders of the chairman of our sect's elder council to deliver your message!"

A young man in green clothes held a jade tablet in his hand, but he did not dare to put on airs in front of Chai Xin. Instead, he smiled and tried to please him.

Chai Xin led the high-ranking officials of Shenning City to welcome the order of the Elders' Council in the Council Hall. Upon hearing the words, they all bowed and showed their respect.

"The Speaker has ordered that Qin Shu take over the position of deputy altar master, but he failed to fulfill his duties and instead committed acts of rebellion. He should be escorted back to the clan to await his fate."

This first sentence defined the conflict between Chai Xin and Qin Shu when he took over the position of altar leader.

It is not that the new leader is acting recklessly, but that the former deputy leader is arrogant and rebellious because of his favor, and he should be severely punished.

"Jiang Xuanhuang, the altar master of Yongning Prefecture, has been able to calm the internal troubles and then the external disturbances soon after taking office. He is truly a talented person. This time, when Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain invaded, he defended Beixuan Valley against the enemy, and his contribution was invaluable! Now, he is specially allowed to enter the Nine Cauldrons Temple to receive the baptism of faith; in addition, he is granted a Yuanxian-level Jade Unicorn, which will be his personal property..."

After a lengthy praise and reward, the man in green quickly took two steps forward, walked up to Chai Xin, and handed the jade tablet to him.

"Congratulations to Lord Jiang for winning the Speaker's favor!"

When Chai Xin saw him like this, he couldn't help but think of the eunuchs in the TV dramas of his previous life who went out of the palace to announce the emperor's decree.

He was stunned for a moment, and while taking the jade tablet, he took out a palm-sized treasure box inconspicuously and stuffed it into the wide sleeves of the man in green.

The man in green was slightly startled and quickly sent a message: "Master Jiang, there is no need to do this. How dare I accept the benefits of announcing the Speaker's decree?"

Having said that, he hurriedly and quietly returned the gift to Chai Xin.

This made Chai Xin confused for a moment, and he thought to himself: Is there something wrong with the TV drama, or is the way I gave the bribe wrong?
But he was such a smart man that when he saw the sincere expression on the man in green, he couldn't help but understand something.

It seems that the other party really wants to make friends with me, and does not want to receive benefits from me in this way or under such circumstances.

"Don't tease me, who dares to accept your bribe! A disciple of Yi Zu, a commendation from the Speaker himself, a Yuanxian-level person who suppressed two invincible saints... If I accept this gift today, and if you remember it, I won't know how to die in the future!"

As the messenger, the man in blue naturally knew that today's order was the result of the Speaker's arbitrary decision.

This alone made him completely afraid to offend the peerless genius in front of him in any way.

"Thank you for your hard work, envoy. Why don't you stay for a few more days and let Jiang show his hospitality?"

Chai Xin took the jade tablet, and although the other party behaved very cordially, even a little humble, he still politely extended an invitation.

"I dare not. I have an important mission to fulfill and I have to return to the sect to report. I cannot stay any longer. I can only let down the altar master's kindness."

The man in green clasped his fists respectfully.

"In that case, then we won't delay the envoy's journey."

Chai Xin behaved like this simply because he didn't want to offend the people around these senior executives.

As the saying goes, it is easy to mess with the King of Hell, but it is hard to deal with little devils. Given his talent, strength, and even background, he doesn't need to try to please such people too much, but he doesn't need to offend them either.

"I will take my leave now. Please stay, Master."

After the man in green said this, he bowed lightly again and disappeared.

At this time, the others slowly stood up.

There was both envy and awe in their eyes when they looked at Chai Xin.

These people are different from the altar masters. Once they take office, they will often serve in the branch altar for life, so they have seen the messengers from the sect more than once.

However, it was the first time that the envoy was so polite, even respectful.

Regardless of the other rewards in the order, just from the attitude of the envoy, everyone can fully imagine how important a position their new leader holds in the hearts of the Shenzhou Sect's top leaders.

"The order has been announced, everyone should return to their positions."

After Chai Xin gave an order, he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the Taoist temple, which was the location of the "Nine Cauldrons Temple" mentioned by the man in green.

"Even a master like me cannot enter or leave the Nine Cauldrons Temple at will. Go by yourself. Someone will guide you."

Yi Zu's figure appeared beside Chai Xin with a satisfied and expectant smile on his face.

With a cultivation level like his, even if he appeared in a busy city, no one would be able to sense him as long as he didn't want others to notice him.

Unless there is someone nearby with higher cultivation than him.

However, with Yi Zu's cultivation strength, it is impossible for such a person to exist in the entire Yongning Prefecture, let alone the Shenning City, or even the Yongning State.

"That disciple has gone."

Chai Xin bowed slightly, then strode towards the temple.

"Show your warrant, if you come."

As he stepped onto the steps of the temple, a vague and calm voice emerged in Chai Xin's mind.

Chai Xin raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.

He has lived in Shenning City for some time, but he never thought that there was such a mysterious person.

Just from observing this one divine thought, he could conclude that this person was superior to himself in both cultivation and strength.

"He must be a powerful Supreme Immortal... No wonder Master once said that Shenning City is safe. With the power of faith and the presence of a Supreme Immortal, this city is impregnable unless the heads of various sects come in person."

Chai Xin secretly exclaimed in amazement, and at the same time stretched out his hand and raised the jade edict he had just received from the envoy.

"Shh!"

A green light fell from nowhere and imprinted on the jade tablet in Chai Xin's hand.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The jade tablet suddenly began to vibrate, emitting a special rhythm that enveloped Chai Xin's entire body.

"Okay, come in."

It seemed that after checking Chai Xin's physical condition and obtaining a qualified result, the voice sounded again.

Upon hearing this, Chai Xin immediately put away the jade tablet and walked into the temple.

The moment you step into the temple, the whole world changes.

This is a group of ethereal mountains, and in the middle of the mountains stands a thousand-foot-tall statue of a god.

The face of the statue was covered by a faint halo. Even with Chai Xin's eyesight, he could not see the specific appearance under the halo.

However, the faint pressure emanating from the statue was enough to make even a powerful figure like Chai Xin unable to help but bow down in worship.

Fortunately, that majesty was not strong, but just came out naturally.

It is like a towering mountain standing before your eyes, making you feel naturally heroic and grand.

"It's rare that our Shenzhou Sect has produced such a genius."

Just as Chai Xin was looking at the statue, a slightly friendly and vicissitudes voice slowly came.

The voice was exactly the same as the one that had guided him just now, but it had more emotion and was no longer dry and stiff.

"Jiang Xuanhuang greets the senior!"

Chai Xin knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary person, so he naturally would not be arrogant and immediately clasped his fists in salute.

"Hahaha! You are Yi Zu's disciple. Who dares to call himself a senior in front of you?"

Along with bursts of hearty laughter, a tall, thin old man in a gray robe appeared not far in front of Chai Xin.

"Senior doesn't just refer to seniority, but also to being a pioneer on the path. Although I am a disciple of Yi Zu, in front of a pioneer like you, I am still just a latecomer."

Chai Xin replied calmly.

The old man smiled even more when he heard this: "You are not just a straight-laced ruffian, you really make me look at you in a new light."

After hearing this, Chai Xin was immediately certain that the entire process of his battle with the two leaders of Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain must have been seen by this person.

The old man laughed for a while, but without waiting for Chai Xin to speak again, he bowed respectfully to the statue in the distance.

"There is a door at the left foot of the statue. You can go in by yourself. How much benefit you can get depends on your own luck."

After saying this, the old man disappeared.

"Thanks for the guidance."

Chai Xin bowed towards the place where the old man disappeared, then walked to the feet of the statue.

There was no such thing as the pressure becoming stronger the closer he got to the statue, and he soon arrived in front of the gate.

The door opened on the inside of the left foot. Chai Xin pushed it lightly and it opened suddenly.

"Wow!"

The moment he stepped into the statue, Chai Xin was completely submerged in endless pure white light.

"Such a strong power of faith!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Chai Xin couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he came into contact with these glories in person.

Looking around, you can suddenly see a long staircase with no end in sight, suspended in a world created by the power of faith.

"It seems that this staircase should lead directly to the head of the statue. I believe that the higher you go, the stronger the power of faith will be, and the higher the quality will be."

Chai Xin has already noticed that as the power of faith has infected his body, he has begun to undergo some subtle changes.

"Master, there is something wrong with this power of faith."

Suddenly, a thought came from the Jade of Creation and reached Chai Xin's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chai Xin just raised his feet, but he immediately stopped, frowned and asked: "What's wrong?"

"The power of faith is mixed with the spiritual imprint of a certain being. If you are influenced by it for a long time, you will unconsciously develop a heart of worship for that being."

The Jade of Creation answered immediately.

Chai Xin was horrified when he heard this. If that was the case, then isn’t the power of faith also a different kind of power of salvation?

If you become someone else's soul slave, no matter how strong you become, it will be meaningless.

"Could it be that Jiuding Tianjun did this on purpose? Is there a solution?"

He hurriedly continued to ask.

"It's not intentional. This is a lifelong belief in him, so it's natural that it will be mixed with his spiritual imprint. The solution is to use the power of creation to filter out the spiritual imprint, and then you can use it without any worries."

The answer given by the Jade of Creation is very clear.

"If we follow your plan, will it arouse the vigilance of the Emperor of Heaven himself?" Chai Xin asked cautiously.

The matter involves a being at the level of a Heavenly Lord, so he cannot afford to be careless.

"Not really. It's just filtering, not erasing. Moreover, with such a huge amount of faith power, no matter how much the master absorbs, he can only use one billionth at most, not even a drop in the bucket."

The God of Creation Jade spoke eloquently and analyzed the detailed situation to Chai Xin.

"Moreover, according to Yi Zu, there are similar statues in tens of thousands of branch altars. The power of faith that the master has absorbed is not even a drop in the ocean. For the Heavenly Monarch himself, he doesn't care at all.

"The most important thing is that the power of faith is almost useless to beings at the level of Heavenly Monarchs. Even if it is all lost, they will not care. The spiritual imprint contained in it is not even left by them, but a collection of lifelong beliefs.

"It's like in an environment where everyone is fanatically believing in God, anyone can be easily infected by the atmosphere and start believing in God as well. This kind of belief has almost nothing to do with the God itself."

"Will the amount of good fortune consumed be very huge?"

Chai Xin asked the last question.

"The consumption is indeed not small, but the power of faith can also be used as a source to make up for the power of good fortune. The power of faith here is almost inexhaustible and can be used to replenish the power of good fortune at any time. There is no need to worry about excessive consumption."

"In that case, let's start using the power of creation to filter the power of faith and avoid its side effects!"

After listening to the explanation of the Jade of Creation, Chai Xin finally felt relieved.

Ever since he achieved enlightenment in the Heaven-covering Realm, the power of the Creation Jade has been restored a lot, and now the sources of the power of creation have also become diverse.

It is no longer like before, where one must rely on the power of heaven or the great way to give birth to the power of creation.

Then, Chai Xin took a step forward and walked steadily up the stairs.
