Indescribable. Ineffable. Terrifying. Horrifying.
Observing the shocked and fervent gazes, Daoxuan chuckled lightly, then looked towards Lin Jingyu and said, "Lin Jingyu, now it's your turn to speak! You haven't finished what you were saying about the God of Hongmeng!"
Lin Jingyu nodded. "Sect Leader, esteemed Uncles, the God of Hongmeng is an Immortal True God who transcends all heavens, as you have likely begun to comprehend."
"Yes, we saw. It's unthinkable that there are so many vast and boundless worlds beyond our own! We are truly like frogs at the bottom of a well, oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth!" Tian Buyi and the others nodded earnestly, their faces filled with emotion.
"Just now, as you recited the "Meditation Method," you already became followers of the God of Hongmeng. The improvement in your Cultivation Level is divine grace bestowed by the God of Hongmeng!" Lin Jingyu explained. "As long as believers pray, the God of Hongmeng will generously grant divine grace. If you preach and offer sacrifices for the God of Hongmeng, then you will receive true rewards from the God of Hongmeng! These rewards include ten thousand years of cultivation, cultivation techniques to become an immortal, Immortal Artifacts, Divine Skills, and so on. They can even include reversing time and space or reviving the deceased…"
Each sentence Lin Jingyu uttered caused everyone's breathing to quicken.
Eternal life, Immortal Artifacts, Divine Skills…
Who could resist such temptation?
"Jingyu, is what you're saying true?" Daoxuan asked. He was also hearing this for the first time, his eyes shocked and fervent. His attitude towards Lin Jingyu underwent a tremendous change.
Tian Buyi and the others also turned their gazes unanimously towards Lin Jingyu. Now they understood. The one who had encountered the Divine Spirit wasn't Daoxuan—it was Lin Jingyu.
"Absolutely true," Lin Jingyu stated. "The God of Hongmeng's Divine Skills are boundless. I have seen Divine Envoys from other worlds hold sacrifices where livestock turned into Divine Beasts, and mortal women ascended to godhood in a single step…"
Lin Jingyu vividly described the sacrifices of other worlds, enthralling Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and the others, leaving them continuously shocked.
"Truly a blessing for our Qingyun! Who would have thought that you, Jingyu, would be so fortunate as to become the messenger of the great God of Hongmeng!" one of the elders exclaimed.
"With the protection of a Divine Spirit, it's not impossible for us to become not only The Number One Sect Under Heaven but also an Immortal Sect!" another added.
"Yes, we too may be able to cultivate to immortality and live forever!"
The crowd grew excited, their eyes filled with longing and anticipation.
Daoxuan, also stirred, looked towards Lin Jingyu and asked, "Jingyu, what do we need to do?"
"Sect Leader, esteemed Uncles, first, we must preach for our God and have everyone in Qingyun believe in our God!" Lin Jingyu declared.
"That is essential! To believe in our God and also receive divine grace—who among Qingyun would dare not believe?" someone responded fervently.
"Exactly! It's not just us in Qingyun who must believe; we must make everyone under the heavens believe in our God. Then, everyone under the heavens can be as dragons!"
Neither Daoxuan nor any of the other peak leaders had any objections. This matter was all benefit and no harm.
"Next, we must build an altar and prepare sacrifices to worship our God!" Lin Jingyu continued. "As for sacrifices, naturally, the more precious, the better—for example, rare birds and beasts, Cultivation Techniques, divine weapons, women of great destiny, and so on. For rare birds and beasts, our most noteworthy is the Spirit Sovereign. For Cultivation Techniques and divine weapons, none is more significant than the Jade Dynasty Sword."
"Jingyu, you're not thinking of using both the Spirit Sovereign and the Jade Dynasty Sword as sacrifices, are you?" Daoxuan asked, looking at Lin Jingyu. Both the Spirit Sovereign and the Jade Dynasty Sword were foundational to Qingyun; the Jade Dynasty Sword, in particular, was the sect's treasured artifact. It could not be used lightly.
"Sect Leader, esteemed Uncles, as the saying goes, 'no pain, no gain.' Moreover, the rewards bestowed by our God for our sacrifices will absolutely far exceed the value of the sacrifices. Granting an Immortal Artifact even stronger than the Jade Dynasty Sword is not impossible!" Lin Jingyu then persuaded, "Actually, these sacrifices we offer mean little to our God; what's important is the sentiment!"
The group nodded slightly. The God of Hongmeng creates Endless Universes with a single breath. Universes are mere dust before the God of Hongmeng, let alone the sacrifices they offer!
Lin Jingyu continued, "And how is sentiment demonstrated? By making our utmost effort!
"Yet we clearly have the more precious Jade Dynasty Sword and are reluctant to offer it. The omniscient and omnipotent Divine Spirit knows this. How would the Spirit view us?
"Even if the God of Hongmeng doesn't mind, can we enjoy the divine blessings with a clear conscience? Can we truly say we are without shame?"
Lin Jingyu's three consecutive questions instantly silenced Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and the others.
Daoxuan's main concern was the fear of offering treasures like the Jade Dynasty Sword and not receiving a corresponding reward, which would result in a loss. It was, after all, the sect's trump card.
Lin Jingyu, quick-witted, immediately guessed Daoxuan's and the others' concerns and continued, "Sect Leader, are you perhaps worried that the offered treasures will not yield corresponding rewards, causing Qingyun Gate to lack a foundational treasure like the Jade Dynasty Sword?"
Daoxuan didn't speak, but his expression clearly showed his agreement.
Lin Jingyu pressed on, "Sect Leader, although the Jade Dynasty Sword is a supreme treasure in our eyes, it is no different from ordinary iron in the eyes of our God. Do you think an Upper God of such greatness would take advantage of us?
"Our God is generous to all believers. Merely praying earns divine grace, let alone for those believers who contribute through preaching and sacrifice.
"I've seen Divine Envoys from over a dozen worlds make sacrifices. Of the divine weapons and treasures granted by the Upper God, not one has been less than an Immortal Artifact!"
Lin Jingyu passionately declared, "Those are real Immortal Artifacts, with limitless divine might!
"They are unlike the Jade Dynasty Sword, with its many flaws, which cannot be readily employed. Sect Leader, you are well aware of this, aren't you?"
