Chapter 508: Chapter 325: First Encounter with Wutong Divine Mother!

Qifeng Prefecture City, Wutong Temple.

For the Human Clan, Ancient Old Gods that slumber beyond this world are unfathomable.

However, the Old Gods that manifested in the world, within Qifeng Prefecture, there are six Venerates.

With the protection of these six Old Gods, the Human Clan has established six great cities.

The Wutong Divine Mother is the earliest awakened Old God and also the one most friendly to the Human Clan.

To be precise, She is the Divine Spirit that adheres most closely to the Ancient Covenant.

The first city of Qifeng Prefecture was established following the guidance of the Wutong Divine Mother.

According to the records from the Observatory, the other five cities were also able to be smoothly constructed thanks to the directions of the Wutong Divine Mother.

With what Lin Yan knows at present, among the six Divine Spirits of Qifeng Prefecture, the Wutong Divine Mother should be the most powerful one.

And it is very likely that She is also the most powerful Old God in the land of the Three Prefectures!

"I didn’t quite understand before why there was such a big fuss, insisting on bringing scholars from the Holy Land’s library and the Creation Law Lineage to the Prefecture City," Lu Tang suddenly said, with a realization.

"Back then, I thought it would have been sufficient for Wu Chang to go directly to the Holy Land..."

Lin Yan was already aware of this matter.

The first reason was that there were changes in the Holy Land, and the situation was unclear. If the Saint Master were to fail, then the accumulated civilization of the Human Clan over a thousand years would be destroyed in one fell swoop... Thus, the Saint Master decided to relocate all the resources and talents within the Holy Land to the Three Prefectures.

The second reason was because the Wutong Divine Mother has the ability to request the blessing of the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction.

With the new methods perfected, the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction materialized in the world, bestowing Divine Inscriptions.

The Wutong Divine Mother has preliminarily fulfilled the Ancient Covenant.

And Lin Yan was endowed with two Divine Skills.

Truly, it was a cause for great joy for all!

"For receiving these two Divine Inscriptions, I should give thanks to the Divine Mother," Lin Yan said in a low voice, "Before, during my retreat to consolidate the Inner Realm Divine Domain, She used Her own branches as protector for me. I should go and express my gratitude now."

As he spoke, he looked up at the Wutong Temple ahead, and said softly, "Qifeng Prefecture owes its current foundation to the Divine Mother. Her enormous grace and kindness towards the Human Clan mean we, as citizens of Qifeng Prefecture, should also offer incense in tribute to express our respect."

——

Wutong Temple was quite different from what Lin Yan had imagined.

Logically speaking, as the temple of the Prefecture City, and as the abode of the most powerful Divine Spirit in Qifeng Prefecture, it should be tremendously grand and magnificent.

At the very least, it should be more awe-inspiring than the Liu Zun Temple.

But in reality, the Wutong Temple wasn’t any larger than the Liu Zun Temple.

To the Human Clan, this is the oldest temple in the Three Prefectures.

The bricks and tiles here possess a deeper sense of times past.

It seemed as if every floor tile was permeated with the traces of incense.

"Two hundred years ago, the temple had considered expansion and reconstruction, but the Divine Mother did not permit it," Lu Changsheng explained quietly, "to expand the temple, it would be necessary to relocate the surrounding households, demolish the houses, and rebuild from scratch.

"Even the original temple would have to be partially demolished and reconstructed," he added.

"The Divine Mother believed that this would be a laborious and costly endeavour, wasting a lot of building materials," he continued.

He said softly, "The already scant foundation of the Human Clan should not be expended in this manner."

Hearing this, Lin Yan showed a sign of understanding and said, "A mountain need not be high; if it has immortals, it’s spirit-endowed! Water need not be deep; if it has dragons, it’s spirit-endowed! A temple need not be big or small..."

"The Saint Master speaks truly!"

Suddenly, ahead, a young girl’s voice came with admiration, "Back then you had the grand aspiration of a roc rising with the wind in one day and soaring up to ninety thousand li. Now you have indeed spread your wings like a great roc!"

Lin Yan recognized this young girl.

Last year, she had followed Mr. Lu to High Willow City.

Later, when he slew the City Commandant Wang Yuan, it was this young girl who helped him and even rode off on that bewitched Jiao Linma.

The Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill, too, was her work.

Later on, after making some breakthroughs, the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill evolved into the Golden Body Divine Power.

For such a long time, the Golden Body Divine Power has been of infinite help to him.

Truly, he owes thanks to this girl before him.

Lin Yan stepped forward, approached the girl, and gave a respectful bow, saying, "Qing’er, it’s been a long time."

"The Saint Master is too kind," the young girl quickly responded with a bow, lifting her head with a face blushing, seemingly shy and timid.

"Why is your face red as a monkey’s butt?" Lv Tang, seeing this, couldn’t help but grumble, "What’s between you two that after so long, you still blush at the sight of each other? Even the tavern stories in the inner city aren’t as far-fetched as this..."

"Get lost!" the girl angrily retorted, "I failed in my breakthrough, and the Divine Mother just saved my life. My face is red, my ass!"

From a young age, she had practiced martial arts, hoping that one day she would become a powerful Martial Artist of the Human Clan.

But being a woman with a slightly weaker constitution, her martial arts journey was rather difficult.

Originally, when she obtained the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill and gave it to Lin Yan, it was because she saw his exceptional talent and hoped that he could go farther on the path of martial arts.

After returning from High Willow City, she had nearly given up her futile dreams about martial arts and instead became a temple priestess, focusing on cultivating temple spells to restrain evil spirits.

But with the creation of the new laws that suppressed the hidden dangers on the path of martial arts, her ambition to practice martial arts was rekindled.

Alas, limited by her talents and insufficient foundation, her Qi-Blood being not robust enough, she still failed in her breakthrough.

She sighed, then said, "Today the Divine Mother will see only Wu Chang. The rest of you, wait outside!"

"Understood."

Lu Changsheng gave a slight nod.

Even Mr. Lu, Lv Tang, Lin Lei, and others all stopped in front of the great hall.

Lin Yan followed the priestess into the great hall.

Inside the hall, there was only a wooden wall.

This was indeed the Wutong Divine Mother’s true form.

The Wutong Divine Tree’s body was incredibly vast, and the temple was built around it. In front of this hall, one could only see a fraction of the Divine Tree, like a segment of a wooden wall.
