Lu Ran,

has truly ascended to the rank of a True God!

As long as Lu Ran wills it, he can command the Pseudo-God Stone Sculpture to forbid the believers from using Divine Techniques—then people like Song Yu would be left powerless!

"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded secretly.

This tactic is absolutely domineering!

It firmly grips the lifelines of everyone in Feixian Hall!

Would the believers dare not obey?

In this turbulent world, if you don't have a Divine Technique to protect yourself, isn't it the same as being at the mercy of others?

And the Stone Sculpture's formidable powers surely don't end here, do they?

Recall back in Beifeng City, when Divine·Beifeng intended to collect Deng Yuxiang's soul and life—it seemed like he could do it with just a wave of his hand?

Hmm… once I return, I'll study this more carefully.

[The three of you, activate the Golden Jade Talisman and begin your prayers.] Lu Ran looked at the trio.

Each of their expressions varied, but all three received Lu Ran's voice transmission. Not daring to tarry, they hastily cast their techniques and began praying.

Lu Ran closed his eyes and carefully attuned his perception.

In just a few short moments, he sensed wisps of energy surging forth. Though faint, it was incredibly pure!

It wasn't Holy Spirit Energy, nor was it Divine Power.

Perhaps it ought to be called the Power of Faith!

The Power of Faith gathered by the Human Clan flowed through an invisible channel into Lu Ran's pupils, merging into his spiritual world, and finally integrating with the Stone Sculpture of the Jade Talisman.

An invisible channel?

More precisely, it's the spiritual thread formed after signing the "master-servant contract" between god and humanity.

It's intangible, yet undeniably real, connecting the Divine Sculpture to the believers of the Human Clan.

"Interesting."

Lu Ran murmured, savoring the sensation of Becoming a God.

The Stone Sculpture, silently and serenely, absorbed the Power of Faith emanating from the Human Clan and continued to process it.

Evidently, the Stone Sculpture can cultivate this peculiar force!

[Continue!] Lu Ran issued his command, and his figure flashed.

He appeared a hundred meters away, quietly sensing.

The Power of Faith from the Human Clan still surged steadily into the Pupil of the Dead World through the delicate threads of the contract.

"Whoosh~"

Lu Ran's figure flashed again!

This time, he leaped five hundred meters away.

"That far?" Lu Ran couldn't hide his delight. The Power of Faith could still be transmitted?

Shortly after, Lu Ran teleported again.

Through multiple experiments, Lu Ran even brought out the Evil Mirror Technique·Mirror Flower Moon!

When Lu Ran reached the mountain forest a hundred kilometers away from Cloud Sea Cliff, he was astounded to find that he could still sense the Power of Faith from the believers in Feixian Hall!

Initially, Lu Ran hadn't received it.

He had assumed that the distance was too great and it wouldn't work.

But upon transmitting his voice to inquire about the trio's casting progress, Song Yu reported that they were still activating their Golden Jade Eight Talismans.

So, as long as the threads of the contract exist, no matter how far Lu Ran travels, the believers can still connect to the Stone Sculpture and perform the respective techniques.

However, the Power of Faith supplied by the believers, under the influence of the rules of the world, was intercepted midway by a True God occupying a Divine Position.

At least, that's what Lu Ran believed. Though, as it turned out, he couldn't have been more wrong!

He thought deeply for quite a while. Just as he was about to head back...

The Power of Faith arrived!

Lu Ran was slightly bewildered.

Was the delay in receiving the Power of Faith purely due to it needing time to traverse the distance?

"Wow!!" Lu Ran was elated.

Could this possibly be true?

In the Human World, believers must pray devoutly in Lu Ran's presence for it to be effective.

Yet, atop Holy Spirit Mountain, is distance truly irrelevant?

The "supreme law" described by Immortal Sheep Lord only applies to the Human World and doesn't affect Holy Spirit Mountain?

Lu Ran was overjoyed!

He warped and experimented repeatedly.

With each attempt venturing farther from Cloud Sea Cliff, his hypothesis was further and further validated!

When Lu Ran finally returned to Cloud Sea Cliff, the night had turned pitch black.

Upon reentering his residence, he found that the two doctors had already left; only the three members of Feixian Hall remained, devotedly praying.

Lu Ran said: "From now on, focus on cultivation, pray earnestly, and strive to restore your realms as soon as possible.

Feixian Hall will continue to grow stronger in the future.

You three elders must develop the abilities necessary to manage this branch for me and Lady."

"Yes!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" Song Yu replied with outward composure but inward excitement, bowing respectfully.

In high spirits, Lu Ran continued: "Tomorrow, I will construct a Feixian Hall within the cliff for your management.

That's all for tonight; you're free to go."

With those words, Lu Ran flashed away.

He directly returned to Cloud Sea Residence, intending to share his good news. However, upon arrival, he noticed Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian sitting at a stone table in the corner of the courtyard.

Si Xianxian held her erratic hammer, surrounded by an illusory shadow, with the hammerhead ablaze like a giant torch.

"Still chatting?" Lu Ran couldn't help admiring Si Xianxian. "It's so late—go rest already."

"Young master's back!" Si Xianxian immediately said, "I was just telling Lady how we wiped out that gang of troublemakers from Tiantu Mountain!"

"Ah." Lu Ran took a seat on the stone stool. "How about… saving it for tomorrow?"

Si Xianxian pouted: "I'm almost done!

I was just recounting how we lay in wait at Tiantu Mountain, picked our ambush point, and practiced our tactics."

Lu Ran grinned. She's not even close to finishing!

After some thought, he suddenly blurted: "Sister Xian'er, did you turn off the lights before you left?

Did you tighten the faucet?"

"Ah!" Si Xianxian jumped up. "I—wait?"

That's not right!

I'm living here at Cloud Sea Cliff—how the hell would my place back home even have running water or electricity?

"Haha~" Jiang Ruyi chuckled lightly at Si Xianxian's bewildered look.

"Go back already, Sister Xian'er." Lu Ran put a hand on Si Xianxian's shoulder, gently nudging her toward the courtyard's exit. "Hurry back and check if you locked the door!"
