Chapter 80 The Venerable is the Only One
"See? The power of the gods is generated from the body and returns to the body. By repeating this cycle over and over again, you can accumulate it into a large amount, strengthen your body, and use it for your own benefit." Master Feng showed everyone the correct way to obtain the power of the gods.
In the eyes of everyone, the power of the gods was indeed generated from the body, but in Jiang Li's eyes, he saw the power of merit being born from nothingness, attached to Master Feng, and finally entering Master Feng's body and turning into his own power.
This is exactly the process of the power of merit descending as recorded in the scriptures.
And this process is not something that ordinary cultivators can see. Only those who have reached the immortal path and are in the tribulation-crossing stage can see it. Moreover, the power of merit cannot be used by others and is exclusive. No wonder the followers of Shenzang believers firmly believe that this power comes from the Shenzang power in their bodies.
They can only see the final result.
When someone saw this, his face changed drastically and he turned and ran away.
He had committed many murders and robberies outside and had offended many people. He came here only because he heard that this was a mysterious and powerful organization and wanted to join it as a backer. As for the so-called Master Shenzang, he sneered. Who would have thought that this organization could use such an outrageous method to identify beliefs.
He thought that he was quite skilled in escaping among the Jindan cultivators, and that cultivators at the same level would have no chance of stopping him.
Unexpectedly, several people from the sect who were standing nearby suddenly tried to intercept him. Using their Divine Transformation cultivation level and the power of the Divine Hidden Realm, they quickly captured this Divine Transformation cultivator who was good at escaping. They killed him at the same time and divided the power of the Divine Hidden Realm.
Seeing that two people were killed decisively soon, everyone hesitated and did not dare to step forward. Until Master Feng was almost unable to hold back and pulled one out at random, someone thought that he believed in Venerable Shenzang and there was no problem.
He killed one person, but still did not gain the power of the Godly Treasure.
"I, I believe in the existence of Venerable Shenzang!" the man declared hurriedly.
"It is not enough to just believe in the existence of the Venerable. You also need to believe that the Venerable is unique and your faith cannot be flawed." Master Feng shook his head regretfully and then patted the man on the shoulder.
"But don't worry. Shenzang Sect is not an unforgivable evil sect that kills anyone it sees. We believe that you still need some time to adapt. You can be a peripheral member for a while. This is a test from the Venerable, okay?"
"good."
Master Feng smiled gently and said, "Wait aside for the third stage of the ceremony."
Jiang Li could see that it was the people from the sect standing nearby who gathered the message and passed it to Master Feng, telling him which person to kill and which person to leave behind.
The technique of gathering sound into lines when performed in front of Jiang Li was almost like shouting like a trumpet, and could be heard clearly.
Xiao Feng, kill this one.
Xiao Feng, leave this.
These deified priests are well-informed and can tell at a glance who is skeptical about the Venerable and who does not believe him at all.
After that, four people were tried in succession, but none of them responded. However, they all belonged to those who did not have firm faith in Venerable Shenzang and needed improvement, so they were listed as peripheral members.
The first stage ritual is still very useful.
When it came to Cheng Ziqi who came in with Jiang Li, he asked before killing him: "Master, you just said that we need to believe that the Venerable is the only one, what does that mean?"
Master Feng put his palms together and bowed to the tall statue of Venerable Shenzang. Then he answered, "Sleeping, eating, getting married, making money, practicing... everything must be centered around Venerable Shenzang. Everything is a manifestation of Venerable Shenzang's will. Venerable Shenzang is everything to you."
"Even if you are presiding over the initiation ceremony now, is it the intention of Venerable Shenzang?"
"Everything is a manifestation of the will of the Venerable Shenzang."
Jiang Li frowned slightly. The standard for joining the Shenzang Sect was quite high. One also needed this kind of spiritual awareness. Even if he believed that there really was such a person as Venerable Shenzang, he could not believe that everything he did was inseparable from Venerable Shenzang.
And why must one go through this Divine Treasure to obtain the power of merit? Where did this number one immortal come from? Jiang Li had a vague guess that was so bold that he didn't even want to believe it...
Cheng Ziqi seemed to realize something and decisively killed one person, and the golden light enveloped him.
He was the first of the group to gain the power of Shenzang.
Several deified priests smiled, it seemed that there was a good seedling this time.
After Cheng Ziqi, it was Jiang Li.
Even the deified priests could see that this fellow named Long Li did not believe in Venerable Shenzang at all and did not even pretend.
But the ceremony could not be interrupted, and several priests secretly decided that as soon as he finished killing people, they would immediately kill this bastard who had no faith in Venerable Shenzang.
Good... He killed someone... Let's do it now... Hmm... Where did he get the power of the gods? For the first time, several priests doubted their eyes. Did Long Li get the power of the gods after killing people? ! Jiang Li certainly has the power of merit. He took a lot of it from the old man who exploded into a ball. Although he couldn't use it, it was still no problem to make up for it.

What about this little girl? She was drawing and twirling and sleeping during the first ceremony. They didn't believe that Ji Kongkong's belief in the Venerable Shenzang was the same as theirs! The priests stared with wide eyes and scanned with their spiritual senses, insisting on seeing that Ji Kongkong didn't gain the power of merit after killing people! They didn't believe that they could make mistakes twice! Then they watched the power of Shenzang emerge and envelop Ji Kongkong.
"You... passed." Master Feng looked at Ji Kongkong in confusion.
Ji Kongkong was a little confused. How did he pass the test when he didn't even hold the knife? Was it because he was pretty?
"Hehe, this is called the Free Illusion Tribulation, which allows the person undergoing the tribulation to fall into an illusion at will." The Ruyi Gourd asked for credit and reward, and gathered the sound into a line, "I let them fall into an illusion and see you gain the power of merit."
"What a powerful gourd." Ji Kongkong opened her mouth slightly and patted the purple-skinned Ruyi gourd.
"I'm telling you, as long as you follow me, you can go anywhere in this world and do whatever you want!"
"Are you as powerful as Jiang Renhuang?" Ji Kongkong's eyes sparkled. Her biggest wish was to become as powerful as Jiang Li.
"...Guess why I'm not with my master now, but here?"
Master Feng asked the one true believer, five temporary believers, and two fake believers to step forward a few steps, so that they were under the gaze of the statue of the Venerable.
He held out eight bowls filled with some kind of blood. "Now for the third and final ritual. The oath of water."
"This is holy water that the leader obtained from the Venerable. It has been blessed by the Venerable. It contains the power to forbid words and deeds. After drinking this water, you will not be able to reveal any information about our religion to the outside world by any means."
"Cheng Ziqi, Long Li, Long Kongkong, the three of you have faith in His Holiness and are qualified to be missionaries."
Master Feng took out three bowls of water and said, "These three bowls of water are different. After drinking them, they can reveal some information about our sect. Do you three have any questions?"
Jiang Li showed a kind smile, raised his hand and asked: "No other questions, I just want to ask where our leader is?"
