2919:
"Boom"
With a loud explosion, the four orbs of light behind Chu Kuang shone like stars, radiating golden light. The ground trembled violently, and even those outside felt the arena shake.
Where Chu Kuang was, countless golden lights and auspicious clouds surged. The surging power formed a fierce wind that rapidly spread the giant pit, radiating a fearsome divine power far and wide.
"Divine Dao power—has Chu Kuang already left behind his Dao lineage in the next generation and started collecting faith power?"
"Impossible! He hasn't even ignited the divine fire yet, how can he gather faith power?"
"That's not necessarily true. Some ancient families have secret techniques that can plant divine Dao seeds in advance within certain immortal seedlings.
Within the next generation of the Dao lineage, as long as Chu Kuang's soul imprint is implanted, the next generation will not know that when worshipping the statue, the power of faith naturally belongs to Chu Kuang.
As long as Chu Kuang's soul power can withstand the impact of the Divine Path, he can use the power of faith. For
a moment, people stared at the four orbs of light behind Chu Kuang, all shocked. Just how much effort had the Chu family poured into Chu Kuang, paving the path of faith for him so early?
Within the academy, the Divine Academy and the Immortal Academy are at odds, and one major disagreement is that the disciples of the Immortal Academy look down on this way of cultivation.
Creating a divine statue for worship and forming faith power for oneself to absorb—whether cultivating or fighting with faith power, it would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Moreover, the more believers there are, the stronger the power of faith becomes. Some spiritual cultivators even replenish their faith power to their own followers, guiding them onto the right path of cultivation.
But such people are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Most divine cultivators are like vampires, absorbing the faith power of believers without losing a cent, and even transmitting extreme ideas to them, ordering them to stop at nothing to expand their followers to absorb more faith power.
For example, Long Chen had encountered many divine inheritances, such as the God of Wealth and the God of Wine. He never actively expanded his faith and could guide people on the path of cultivation, helping them escape suffering and find happiness.
As for gods like evil gods, killing gods, Great Brahma Heaven, and Falling Sky Night, who only know how to expand and demand, this is a typical example of deceiving believers, draining their faith power, and treating them like fools, which is despised.
Immortal cultivators, on the other hand, comprehend the Heavenly Dao, use the Dao as a mirror, the Dao as the ruler, and the Dharma as their foot. They measure the world, seek the mysteries of myriad Daos, and gradually improve their cultivation step by step through their own strength.
So in front of immortal cultivators, divine cultivators are a group of contemptible frauds—one relies on their own hard work, the other on deceiving others. As a result, those who claim to be superiority naturally look down on divine cultivators.
For a divine cultivator to obtain the power of faith, they must have a strong background, own their own territory, and imprint their faith through the Wall of Sighs onto the next generation's divine statue.
It sounds simple, but in reality, it requires countless resources. To put it bluntly, divine cultivators are basically wealthy, and those without money often choose immortal cultivators out of desperation.
As a result, divine cultivators are despised by immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators are mocked as paupers. So, in any faction, immortal cultivators and divine cultivators are generally unfriendly.
Of course, there are also cultivators of immortals and gods together, but they need both money and comprehension—mastering divine powers and secret techniques, and also cultivating immortal methods to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Their energy is simply insufficient, and cultivating both together will lead to losing to others at the very start.
Cultivating both immortal and martial skills is indeed powerful, but progress is slow. In the perilous Immortal Realm, who will give you the chance to grow? Many times, you were taken down while you were still very weak.
The first rule of cultivation is to first ensure you don't get killed. So, cultivating immortals and gods together is possible, but basically no one chooses it.
The disciples of the Immortal Academy saw that Chu Kuang could use the power of faith so early to ignite the fire of the divine path. They felt both contempt and jealousy. It could be said that Chu Kuang had been made with money.
"Crack, crack, crack... Chu
Kuang unleashed all his divine power, slowly pushing Long Chen upward. The two of them actually lifted off the ground, and divine flames swirled around Chu Kuang, as if they possessed infinite power.
Watching Chu Kuang start to fight back, Luo Ning clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "Chu Kuang's path was already paved long ago. Everyone was deceived by him. He hid it too deeply." After
this battle, Luo Ning finally understood what it meant to be shrewd, and what it meant to play dumb to outsmart the tiger. Before the battle in the lava cave, they had always thought Chu Kuang's strength was only slightly superior to theirs.
But after that battle, they finally understood what the gap meant. However, after Long Chen awakened the pill, the sisters' spiritual blood was activated and their strength soared.
The two sisters, Luo Bing and Luo Ning, were so confident they could surge. Although they couldn't guarantee they could defeat Chu Kuang, at least they had a forty to fifty percent chance.
But now, forced by Long Chen, Chu Kuang kept unleashing his trump cards. Each trump card was more astonishing than the last. Now that he even used the divine path inheritance, they finally understood how naive they had been before.
"Not everyone was deceived by him. No matter how he disguised himself, it never escaped Long Chen's eyes.
Sigh, Long Chen is younger than us, but in terms of combat power, insight, methods, and strategy, he's thousands of times stronger. Comparing himself to him is truly inferior. Luo Bing said with feeling.
At first, she was full of worry about Long Chen, but as the battle progressed, she found that his gaze remained as calm as ever—a calm and composed strategy that could secure victory from afar.
Now that Chu Kuang had unleashed his trump card again, she was no longer as shocked as before. Instead, she admired this man, who was even younger than herself but as formidable as a demon.
"Sister, why don't you go all out and let Long Chen marry into our Luo family?" Luo Ning leaned close to Luo Bing's ear and chuckled softly.
Luo Bing's pretty face flushed red. She glared at Luo Ning and continued to look into the arena. There, Chu Kuang's robe fluttered without wind, slowly pushing Long Chen upward, his face twisted into a ferocious grin: "
Long Chen, I have one hundred and ninety-one Mortal Realm Dao lineages, five thousand seven hundred sixty-three divine statues, and countless followers."
Their power of faith is the source of my strength. My strength can be said to be endless. What do you have to fight me with? At
that moment, he seemed to become a god, invincible and unmatched under heaven.
"Even scammers these days feel proud?" Can you now openly publicize your fraudulent behavior?
What do I have to fight you? It's simply the biggest joke—external force is still external force—is it really worth being so arrogant? Today, I'll show you that your own strength is what truly belongs to you. Long
Chen sneered, forming hand seals. Suddenly, the star map behind him lit up with 108,000 stars simultaneously. The power of these stars was no longer held back. With a strong push with his foot, Chu Kuang's slowly ascending body was kicked toward the ground by Long Chen.
With a loud explosion, dust flew everywhere, and a well—several miles in diameter but bottomless—appeared on the ground.
