"The power of faith?"
Upon hearing this, Jie En shook his head and said, "My Crimson Feather Hall knows little about the power of faith, nor has it studied it. Why did the Grand Elder suddenly ask about this matter?"
The Grand Elder sighed, “Recently, news came from the lower realm that Lu Tao has been building up statues of gods there, causing many planets and planes to worship him. Although we do not know his purpose in doing so, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.”
"This person certainly has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
Jie En sighed with a hint of helplessness.
He didn't know much about Lu Tao, but everything he experienced today made him realize that Lu Tao had too many tricks up his sleeve, and who knew what the future would hold if he became his enemy.
Unfortunately, even with his extensive knowledge, he had limited understanding of the power of faith.
At this moment—
Wu Heng suddenly said, "Hall Master, Grand Elder, I do know of a clan that is quite proficient in the power of faith."
"Oh? Which race?"
The Grand Elder and Jie En both turned their gazes toward Wu Heng.
"In Qingyou Prefecture, located on the edge of the desolate region, there is a race called the weasel."
With a look of reminiscence, Wu Heng said, "Although this clan is not very powerful, they are proficient in various illusions and have built statues of gods in various places in Qingyou Prefecture to bewitch living beings to worship them and contribute their faith."
"weasel?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder silently noted down the name of the race, then cupped his hands to Jie En and Wu Heng and said, "Thank you both, I'll go and take a look later!"
Having said that, the elder took his leave.
Watching the Grand Elder's departing figure, Wu Heng remained silent, while Jie En suddenly sighed and said softly, "This choice has plunged the Crimson Feather Hall into dire straits. Alas."
"Master, this matter is not your fault. It's just that Lu Tao's methods are too numerous."
Wu Heng comforted the hall master and then said, "Otherwise, if we can capture Lu Tao, make good relations with the alliance of all races, and obtain the Hunyuan Technique, the strength of my Crimson Feather Hall can be raised to another level."
"Yes, that Lu Tao... sigh, I hope he can't gather three thousand domains."
This is the only way to pray for grace.
But he also knew.
Since Lu Tao only offered a reward of 170 kinds of cultivation techniques, he has probably already collected all the other cultivation techniques. Now there are only less than 60 kinds of cultivation techniques that he has not yet obtained.
This means that even if Lu Tao does not acquire any other cultivation techniques in the future, he will still have at least 2,940 domains, which is simply an unprecedented miracle.
Even if Lu Tao were to advance to the Divine Lord level immediately, his future potential would be far beyond what he could ever achieve.
therefore.
Finding and eliminating Lu Tao is the only way to resolve the current predicament.
That's why he offered to help.
"No matter what, we must cut off Lu Tao's chances of obtaining any more cultivation techniques!"
With this in mind, Jie En instructed Wu Heng: "Go and spread rumors that the bounties offered by the various merchant guilds are fake, and that they are only meant to scheme against those geniuses who possess martial arts techniques, and to enslave them."
"Remember to conceal your identity and don't let other chambers of commerce discover that it was us who did it."
This move not only smeared Lu Tao, but also slandered other chambers of commerce.
He knew that this was somewhat self-deceptive, but as long as other chambers of commerce did not have evidence, they could do nothing to Akabane-do.
Therefore, proceed with caution.
"Yes, Master!"
Wu Heng's eyes lit up.
It's just spreading rumors, what's so difficult about that?
...
Qingyou Prefecture.
Located on the edge of the desolate region, it is relatively remote, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not as abundant as in other states.
This state is home to numerous races, but the power of each race is relatively weak.
Among them, the weasel family is relatively active.
At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly appeared in Qingyou Prefecture.
He scanned the entire Qingyou Prefecture with his divine power and saw that there were countless statues of gods, all of them in the shape of weasels.
"You are the chieftain of the weasel clan?"
The elder flashed and appeared in front of a weasel leisurely strolling in the sunlight. To its surprise, it discovered that the weasel's cultivation had actually reached the third level of the Divine Realm.
He is only one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the God-King realm.
This is outrageous.
It should be noted that no other being at the God-King level had been found in the entire Qingyou Prefecture, while the Weasel Clan, whose overall strength was not strong, actually had a powerful being who was almost at the mid-stage of the God-King level.
More importantly, its aptitude is not very high, and its bone age is not very old.
It seems he has good comprehension skills.
"Squeak!"
The weasel was startled awake by the elder's voice, realizing that something had bypassed its senses and come right in front of it.
If it were a sneak attack, it would probably already be dead by now.
The thought of this possibility made the weasel tremble all over. Then, sensing the true dragon aura emanating from the Grand Elder, it immediately said in awe, "The weasel greets Your Excellency!"
"Yes, no need for formalities."
The Grand Elder nodded slightly and casually said, "Judging from your young age, you are already close to the mid-stage of the God King realm. Tell me, how did you acquire this level of cultivation?"
The elder's tone was rather forceful, but upon hearing this, the weasel not only didn't get angry, but instead lowered its body even further.
It respectfully replied, "Your Excellency, the weasel's talent lies in faith. Therefore, the weasel obtains the power of faith by building idols, and then uses the power of faith to cultivate, which is why it can improve its cultivation so quickly."
"Furthermore, if used properly, it can consume faith power to make the soul more active, which is of great help in comprehending techniques, domains, and rules."
Facing the true dragon clan, the weasel dared not hide anything.
"I see!"
The elder suddenly realized.
No wonder Lu Tao has been building up statues of gods in the lower realm recently; it turns out it was for this reason.
With tens of thousands of planets worshipping Lu Tao, the power of their faith is immense. Using it to comprehend a domain will naturally yield very rapid results.
If my own True Dragon Clan had known about this method earlier, there probably would have been a heaven-defying being in the Chaos Realm long ago.
Thinking of this, the Grand Elder felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
However, it quickly frowned, glanced at the humble weasel, and asked in a deep voice, "How much does the power of faith enhance one's understanding of domains and rules?"
The weasel replied, "The boost is huge, it's about twice as much."
"Only twice?"
The Grand Elder was not satisfied with this answer. If it was only a double boost, it would help them, but not by much.
Undeterred, the Grand Elder asked, "Is there any connection between the boost and the amount of faith power?"
The weasel could tell that the elder was in a bad mood. It didn't dare to look at the elder too much and could only lower its head and cautiously reply, "It is related, but at most it's double."
"At most, it's only twice as much."
The Grand Elder secretly sighed with regret.
Actually, twice as much is already extremely exaggerated, but it's completely different from what it expected.
It would have been very happy to learn this secret in the past.
But now...
A mere doubling of the power is of little help to these powerful beings who are already at the peak of the God-King realm.
same.
It didn't seem to be of much help in investigating why Lu Tao was building so many statues in the lower realm.
Given Lu Tao's comprehension in creating the Hunyuan Technique so easily, even without relying on the power of faith, comprehending the Chaos Domain would probably not be difficult for him.
Building idols now is merely icing on the cake.
Moreover, since no matter how much faith power is available, it can only increase the power by a maximum of two times, Lu Tao has no need to build such a large number of statues.
Clearly, Lu Tao had ulterior motives for doing this.
but.
Regardless of the extent to which the power of faith helps Lu Tao, since Lu Tao intends to build a divine statue, the True Dragon Clan must find a way to stop him.
If only Lu Tao could improve his cultivation and strength more slowly.
For them, the outcome is good.
Thinking of this, the Grand Elder was about to leave when it suddenly remembered something and asked, "What other uses does the power of faith have?"
"Your Majesty, the power of faith has many uses. In addition to activating the soul and accumulating more faith, it can also influence one's own fortune, and even the fortune of one's clan. It can also avert many calamities and prevent one from falling into the trap of the fire demon."
It must be said that the weasel has a deep understanding of the power of faith.
It has been researched and found to have many uses.
The elder nodded inwardly, then asked curiously, "I see that the statues you have built are all different—clay, stone, gilded… What is the purpose of each of them?"
The weasel immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the power of faith can be obtained simply by building a statue and having living beings worship it devoutly; it has nothing to do with the type of statue."
However, then, as if remembering something, it continued, "However, that golden body was not made of other materials, but sculpted with the power of faith, which allows the spirit of the original body to descend, making it a special use."
"Divine soul descent?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart stirred, and he immediately asked excitedly, "Can your golden body accommodate your divine soul's descent?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The weasel was curious as to why the elder was so excited, but it dared not ask further and could only reply, "But my golden body is relatively weak. Even if my divine soul descends, I can only exert the strength of a master or grandmaster."
"..."
The elder's excited expression froze instantly.
It thought it had guessed Lu Tao's intention in building the statue, but it never expected it to be like this.
Slightly unwilling, it asked, "Can the golden body be improved?"
"Yes, but it requires an extremely large amount of faith power."
The weasel nodded affirmatively, then added, "But this golden body of mine was also created by consuming the faith of countless believers over hundreds of years."
"Hundreds of years..."
The Grand Elder remained silent.
It took hundreds of years of faith to create a golden body capable of displaying innate and grandmaster-level power.
This is practically useless.
Why did Lu Tao act in the lower realm?
The elder felt a bit of a headache.
This feeling of not knowing their purpose makes them feel uneasy.
"Sigh, whatever, let the lower realm sabotage Lu Tao's plans."
After making this decision, the Grand Elder thought for a moment and then took the weasel back to the True Dragon Clan.
It didn't completely believe what the weasel said.
