CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 5: EASTERN SECT HIERARCH, PLEASE WAIT - PART 1

"There really are divine spirits!"

"Yue Buqun has obtained a thousand years of power! Not only has his cultivation level surged, but he has also become younger!"

"Lady Ning has also gained a hundred years of power, and she will stay young forever!"

Looking at Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, all the martial artists went into a frenzy. Their eyes burned with intense fervor as they gazed at Yue Buqun.

Feeling everyone’s stares, Yue Buqun’s powerful aura emanated outwards. Everyone felt as if they had been plunged into an icy cavern, becoming as silent as cicadas in winter. Fear and unrest grew in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoists, what do you think? This Yue did not deceive you, did I?"

"My God is the supreme and only True God. As long as you pray, you can receive God’s grace. Spreading the teachings and making sacrifices will grant even greater divine favor!"

"As long as you believe in my God, becoming a Fairy or a God in the future, achieving eternal Dao, is not difficult!"

Yue Buqun looked down upon the crowd and said with a slight smile.

"Sect Leader Yue, how does one come to believe in my God?" someone asked eagerly.

All eyes turned to Yue Buqun, full of anticipation.

"Believing in my God is very simple. All you need to do is pray. The more sincere your heart, the more abundant the grace you receive!"

Yue Buqun said, "Everyone, follow me in prayer once, and that’s all it takes!"

Everyone followed Yue Buqun in prayer.

Instantly, countless martial artists broke through in their cultivation. Even those who didn’t break through experienced a great increase in their power. All their eyes turned red.

At that moment, if anyone dared to stop them from worshipping the God of Hongmeng, they would fight that person to the death.

"This poor Taoist has actually broken through to the Innate Realm! I thank my God. My God is truly too generous. From now on, our Wudang will only believe in the God of Hongmeng!"

The ecstatic Reverend Chongxu, experiencing the transformation of Innate true energy within him, unhesitatingly abandoned the True Martial Emperor, whom he had worshipped for so long but from whom he had not received even a hair’s worth of benefit.

It was the God of Hongmeng who was generous. The God of Hongmeng was the True God.

"Amitabha."

Master Fang Zheng, who had not prayed, watched this scene with his palms pressed together and intoned slowly, "May Buddha forgive me. Do not blame this humble monk for being inhuman; blame only the divine grace for being too alluring!"

After saying this, Master Fang Zheng prayed once according to the "Meditation Method." Under the divine grace, he, who was already at the Houtian peak, naturally broke through to the Innate Realm.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun’s eyes were filled with a smile. Shaolin and Wudang represent not just two major sects, but the leaders of both the Buddhist and Daoist communities. If I can win them over, wouldn’t securing both communities be a simple matter?

"Everyone, from today onward, our Huashan Sect will be renamed the Hongmeng Divine Sect! I will be the Sect Hierarch. I welcome everyone to eagerly join our Divine Church and fight for the glory of our God!"

"When the glory of my God envelops the world, all of you will ascend with me to God’s Kingdom and enjoy eternity!" Yue Buqun declared, striking while the iron was hot.

"Sect Hierarch, I wish to join the Divine Church, for the glory of our God!"

"Sect Hierarch, I also wish to..."

One after another, martial artists rushed to register. Although Yue Buqun had just informed them of the method of worship, that was merely the most basic level, making them ordinary believers at best. Yue Buqun, as the Divine Envoy personally appointed by the Divine Spirit, could offer them greater development and more divine grace. This was a point that anyone not a fool could understand.

"Chong’er, lead the disciples and register those believers who wish to join the Divine Church!" Yue Buqun instructed Ling Huchong.

Originally, he had planned to offer Ling Huchong, this turncoat, as a blood sacrifice. But he reconsidered. Ling Huchong hadn’t done anything truly wrong yet, and Ning Zhongze would never agree. Moreover, since he also intended to sacrifice his own daughter, he didn’t want to antagonize Ning Zhongze. Thus, he had spared Ling Huchong’s life.

"Yes, Master!" Ling Huchong clasped his fist in salute and then said to the crowd, "Seniors, those who wish to join the Divine Church, please come with me to register over here!"

The crowd excitedly followed Ling Huchong.

「Among the mountain peaks.」

DongFang Bai gazed at the Huashan Martial Arts Square and sighed softly, "Yue Buqun’s dominance is now firmly established. With a Divine Spirit as his backing, he is unmatched in the world!"

"Sect Hierarch, we can also offer sacrifices to divine spirits! If we surpass Yue Buqun, it’s not impossible for you to become the Divine Envoy of this realm!" Qu Chang said.

They too had followed in prayer just now, and their cultivation levels had increased significantly. They also felt reverence and longing towards the God of Hongmeng.

"Too late." DongFang Bai shook her head, her face filled with dejection, "The Sacrificial Method is in Yue Buqun’s hands, and it will be difficult for us to obtain it. The altar has strict requirements; it’s not as simple as just building any altar! Besides, we’re out of time!"

DongFang Bai turned and left. Qu Chang fell silent, quietly following behind.

"DongFang Sect Hierarch, please wait."

Suddenly, a resonant voice sounded from behind.

DongFang Bai paused and turned to see Yue Buqun approaching through the air.

Qu Chang stepped in front of DongFang Bai, on guard as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Is Sect Leader Yue here to kill me?" DongFang Bai’s beautiful eyes flickered; she wasn’t surprised that Yue Buqun had found her. Having received God’s grace, Yue Buqun’s cultivation level had exceeded her imagination.

I know I’m no match for him. But what joy is there in living? And what hardship in death? If death is to come, then let it come. Although I am a woman, I will not beg for mercy.

"Not at all, not at all!" Yue Buqun shook his head, his eyes appraising DongFang Bai’s slender, voluptuous figure. "DongFang Sect Hierarch is a heroine who rivals any man, exceptionally talented and beautiful. It would be a pity if you were to die."

DongFang Bai furrowed her brows slightly. What does Yue Buqun mean by this? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to me?

"The greatness of my God was witnessed by the Sect Hierarch just now. I wonder if DongFang Sect Hierarch would be willing, like my young daughter Shan’er, to ascend to God’s Kingdom and serve my God?" Yue Buqun revealed his purpose.

The moment he saw DongFang Bai, his cultivation level allowed him to discern that this DongFang Bai was a true woman, not a Demon who had castrated himself.

DongFang Bai understood. She fell silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up with a captivating smile. "Do I have a choice?"

"Haha, DongFang Sect Hierarch will certainly not regret today’s decision in the future!" Yue Buqun said, overjoyed to see that DongFang Bai had agreed.

"However, I have one condition," DongFang Bai stated.

"I know." Before DongFang Bai could elaborate, Yue Buqun interrupted, "I know DongFang Sect Hierarch wants me to help you find your sister, right?"

"How did you know?" DongFang Bai was astonished. Even within the Sun and Moon Holy Cult, no one knew about her search for her sister.

Yue Buqun smiled mysteriously. "Before my God, nothing is a secret."

DongFang Bai understood. The greatness of divine spirits is not something I can fathom. It’s quite normal for them to know my affairs.

Actually, Yue Buqun knew this not because of a God’s Revelation, but from the video Wang Hao had sent him in the chat group.

"Your sister is Yi Lin from the Mountain Heng Sect. You can have your sister ascend with you to serve my God!" Yue Buqun said.

He was now certain that the world he was in corresponded to the version Wang Hao had shown him, where Dongfang Bubai was indeed a woman. In this version, the woman chosen by destiny was undoubtedly DongFang Bai. Ren Yingying was at most a woman of great fortune, as was Yi Lin.

"I understand!" DongFang Bai neither agreed nor refused.

Afterward, the two negotiated. The Sun and Moon Holy Cult merged into the Hongmeng Divine Sect.

Yue Buqun officially began his journey to unify the martial arts world.
