    “How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the sacrificial square?”

    The guard gritted his teeth. “This is the most sacred ce in the Kingdom of God. How can a mere human cultivator like you be allowed to run wild!”

    “Holy?”

    David scoffed, raising his hand. A wisp of golden spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips and pointed it at the ground in front of the guard.

    With a loud bang, a bottomless crack appeared in the ground. The ground around the crack was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.

    The guard’s face turned pale with fear, and he stumbled back several steps, dropping his spear.

    He stared at the crack, his eyes filled with terror—this power was definitely not something a First-Rank Earth Immortal could possess!

    “Now, am I worthy enough to enter?”

    David looked at the guards, his tone still calm, yet filled with undeniable authority.

    The guards trembled, no longer daring to utter a single “no,” and quickly made way. “Worthy… Worthy… Fellow Daoist, pleasee in…”

    Zi Yuan watched this scene, her shock deepening.

    She finally understood that David had no power behind him; he was a hidden power in his own right. His First-Rank Earth Immortal Realm was likely just a facade he deliberately projected.

    The two entered the sacrificial square. The divine cultivators in the square paused their rituals at the sight of David,

    Their gazes were etched with confusion and disdain as they looked at this ordinary-looking human cultivator, whose realm was only the First-Rank Earth Immortal Realm, apanying Zi Yuan’s staff.

    “Who is that? Why is he with Ziyuan’s staff?”

    “It seems to be the monk who escorted the princess back. I heard that he is only a first-rank Earth Immortal.”

    “A first-rank Earth Immortal dares toe to the sacrificial square? This is the most sacred ce in the kingdom of God!”

    The voices of discussion rose one after another, and the eyes of those gods’ monks were full of contempt and disdain.

    David paid no heed to this, his gaze fixed on the statue in the center of the square. The

    statue’s face was solemn, a scepter in hand, its body engraved with intricate divine patterns, emanating a rich ripple of divine power.

    David unexpectedly sensed a familiarity within these patterns.

    The patterns on the statue bore resemnce to those on the Leiyin Bell, both imbued with the power of a seal.

    “Miss Zi, what material is the statue of your kingdom of God made of?” David suddenly asked.

    Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said, “It’s made of ‘Divine Meteorite Gold’ from the heavens. Divine Meteorite Gold is rich in divine power and is the ideal material for crafting statues. What’s wrong?”

    “Nothing.” David shook his head, pondering inwardly.

    Divine Meteorite Gold could contain divine power and could also be used to strengthen the seal. The Thunder Sound Bell has been stolen, and the demonic spirit is poised to break free. Yet, a simr aura of seal emanates from the statue of the Divine Kingdom. Could the Divine Kingdom be connected to the seal of the Thunder Sound Bell?

    At this moment, an old man in golden sacrificial garments opened his eyes from the high tform of the sacrificial square.

    His hair and beard were white, his face wrinkled, yet he exuded an unfathomable aura, the aura of the human immortal

    realm! He was the ruler of the Divine Kingdom, Wu Hao.

    David had never imagined that the ruler of the Divine Kingdom would be a human in the immortal realm!

    This meant that the Sixth Hall Master of the Divine Temple was no match for this ruler.

    Even Taoist Wuji of the Leiyin Temple was no match for Wu Hao.

    No wonder the Divine Kingdom was so vast, upying such a vast expanse of Feng Shui treasures, yet no one else came topete.

    Wu Hao’s gaze fell on David, a sh of surprise in his eyes, and then he regained hisposure: “Zi Yuan, is this the monk who escorted the princess back?”

    Zi Yuan hurried forward and saluted respectfully: “Your Majesty, it is. His name is David, and this time he brought Her Highness the Princess back to the Divine Capital safely.”

    Wu Hao nodded, his gaze fell on David again, and his tone was calm: “Fellow Daoist David, thank you for sending my daughter back. I wonder if you have any needs this time? The Divine Kingdom will definitely meet your needs.”
