I heard that he was going to erect an idol for himself.
Lu Tao exited the customs immediately.
After leaving the pass, he discovered that although only four days had passed, the continent of Ganyu had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Today, the Ganyu Continent can be said to consist of only one Great Gan, with no other countries or forces. Even the races in the sea, such as the Elf Clan, the Kui Niu Clan, and the Carp Clan, have all been incorporated into Great Gan, becoming mounts for many sects and forces within Great Gan.
Therefore, after considering various factors, Da Gan decided to rebuild a city as its capital.
This city, located at the junction of the inland and the open sea, is called Gandu.
Gandu was originally just a small city, but with the joint efforts of the Gan royal family and many sects, a magnificent metropolis was built in just four days.
The scale of this city is unprecedented, far exceeding that of the previous capital of the Great Gan Dynasty.
Once the city was established, many sects and forces also opened branch sects and factions in Gandu.
The Immortal Sect is no exception.
The Great Project specifically reserved a prime piece of land for the Immortal Sect.
When this news spread, many people who had greatly improved their skills due to Lu Tao's cultivation techniques rushed to see it, and gradually, some people requested the royal family to build a statue for the Immortal Sect Master.
This request was met with unanimous approval from the public as soon as it was made.
In response to this.
The royal family naturally agreed.
Seventh Master knew that Lu Tao had a prayer statue with extraordinary effects, so he contacted Lu Tao directly to ask for his opinion.
"Establish idols?"
Lu Tao's heart skipped a beat, and his mind raced.
"The main purpose of erecting statues of gods is to encourage people to worship and have faith..."
Lu Tao pondered, "It's hard to say about other statues, but the statues I build can collect faith power. So, if I build a statue specifically for people to worship, can all of its faith power be converted into faith points for my prayer statue to use?"
Lu Tao thought of the many statues of gods in China. There are statues of the same god in many places. If these statues could collect the power of faith, they could surely be used for other purposes.
Therefore.
He felt that the power of faith he had collected from his idols should also be able to be used on the idols he prayed to.
"Or, why not just forge another statue of a deity for prayer?"
Lu Tao was both tempted and hesitant.
The idol of the deity is too exaggerated. Although once people know that worshipping his idol can grant their wishes, it will encourage more people to worship and believe in him.
You can gain more faith points.
However, this can also lead these people to become dependent on idols.
and.
When certain desires cannot be fulfilled, it can lead to psychological distortions, resentment, and other negative feelings in these individuals.
Although Lu Tao is not afraid of these things and they should not have any impact on him, he has no need to create a statue that can induce these bad situations.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Lu Tao decided that it would be fine to build an ordinary statue.
One statue of the deity is enough for personal use and for use by disciples of the Immortal Sect.
certainly.
If the power of faith cannot be converted and used for the statue of the deity, then building the statue of the deity can be considered.
"Seventh Master, please wait a moment."
Having made the decision, Lu Tao immediately apologized to Seventh Master and asked him to wait a moment.
Next, Lu Tao returned to his cave dwelling, went to the weapon-refining room, took out a number of weapon-refining materials, and began to forge the statue.
Soon, a statue of Lu Tao appeared in the weapon-refining room.
This statue serves no other purpose for others; it is merely a place for worship and faith, from which no one else can gain any feedback.
However, Lu Tao was very satisfied.
Just because—
【Statue: 0/10,000 (Ninth-tier statue, which can be worshipped and believed in by living beings, and can be used to collect faith power.
When there is enough faith power, the statue can be transformed into a golden body by consuming faith power.
This golden statue allows the divine spirit of the deity to descend upon it.
The stronger the golden body, the farther the true body can descend from a distance, and the fewer the restrictions. Similarly, the greater the power that can be exerted when the true body descends.
Current Faith Value: 0.
Note: It has been detected that there are already two different statues of the same deity. Please note that the faith power collected by all statues can be shared between them.
"Indeed, the power of faith collected from different statues can be shared."
Lu Tao was overjoyed.
It must be said that the power of faith is truly wondrous.
Lu Tao subconsciously glanced at the text description of the prayer statue. Sure enough, after the statue was built, its text description changed, adding a prompt about sharing the power of faith.
This made Lu Tao very happy.
In this way...
In the future, we will collect more faith power, which can all be used for the prayer statue.
There is no longer a need to specifically instruct the dragons to worship and kneel every day.
That's not all.
This statue can also be gilded to allow the true deity to descend, which is quite interesting.
If we build more statues of gods, upgrade them to higher levels, and place them in different locations, wouldn't they be able to descend instantly?
even.
If one ascends to the realm of gods in the future, will one be able to descend to the mortal realm across a single realm?
If that were truly possible, it would be simply...
The more he thought about it, the more excited Lu Tao became.
If that's the case—
A hint of greed arose in Lu Tao's heart, and he thought to himself, "Since the statues are so magical, I'll build more of them."
"However, let the dragon give this statue some experience first, and then we'll see how it goes after it levels up."
Thinking this, Lu Tao immediately handed the statue to the dragons, instructing them to put aside their other tasks and devote themselves to worshiping the statue.
While the dragon was giving the statue experience, Lu Tao continued to forge the statue himself.
Buzz!
In this way, Lu Tao forged a hundred identical statues before stopping.
"upgrade."
Lu Tao retrieved the statue and silently chanted the upgrade mantra.
[Idol: 3269/1 trillion (Tier 5 idol, which can be worshipped and believed in by living beings, and can be used to collect faith power.]
...
The current statue's level is suitable for creating a golden body, but it should be noted that the amount of faith power is limited, resulting in a weaker golden body. Consider using the faith power from other statues.
"shape!"
As long as he could create the golden body, Lu Tao mainly wanted to see how effective it was. The strength of the golden body was not important, and he did not intend to use the power of faith from the prayer statue.
Buzz!
As soon as Lu Tao confirmed the creation of the golden body, the power of faith on the statue was rapidly depleted.
at the same time.
The originally white statue now seemed to be covered in gold, its entire body golden, as if it were made of gold. But it did not look gaudy; instead, it gave people a sense of solemnity and reverence.
Lu Tao paid little attention to any of this; his gaze remained fixed on the inscription on the statue.
Then I saw—
[Golden Statue of Gods: 3269 / 1 trillion (Fifth-Tier Statue of Gods)]
...
Currently, the golden body is relatively weak, and can only allow the deity to descend within a range of ten thousand miles. When descending, it can retain the cultivation level of a Grandmaster.
Note: When divine thought descends and the golden body is used, it consumes faith power. Once the faith power is exhausted, the divine thought will automatically return to the original body.
"Only at the fifth rank can retain the cultivation of a Grandmaster? Are you sure that's weak?"
Lu Tao was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that the statue was only at the fifth level, corresponding to the innate level, and that it should retain its innate cultivation when it descended. But it turned out to be a grandmaster.
You call this weakness?
Lu Tao scoffed, then controlled the golden statue and attempted to descend with his divine sense.
The next moment.
Lu Tao separated a wisp of his divine sense and entered the golden body from a distance.
In an instant, the golden statue moved, and a grandmaster-level aura suddenly emanated from its body.
Lu Tao diverted some of the faith power from the prayer statue and tried to use the golden body.
They discovered that although the golden body was entirely hard and not made of flesh and blood, it was as easy to use as an extension of one's own arm, and felt no different from a body of flesh and blood.
even.
He can directly utilize the Golden Body to operate his cultivation techniques and use martial arts without any hindrance, just like his own clone.
"That's interesting."
Lu Tao was pleasantly surprised.
Not only is it easy to use, but also, although he was only at the Grandmaster level when he arrived, he was able to unleash the strength of a Martial King, which is quite exaggerated.
The only drawback.
The problem is that his golden body isn't strong enough to support him using overly powerful martial arts techniques. Otherwise, his golden body would probably collapse before he could even injure the enemy.
Even so, it was still beyond Lu Tao's expectations and made him very satisfied.
This is only at the fifth rank after all.
"The fifth rank descends within ten thousand miles, but what about the first rank?"
Lu Tao has high expectations for this.
After trying it out, Lu Tao returned his divine sense to his body, then put away all the statues and left the cave.
"Lu Tao, what do you think? Do you have any thoughts on the statue?"
Seventh Master had been waiting in Tianwaitian for a long time. When he saw Lu Tao come out of seclusion, he immediately asked about the statue.
Lu Tao smiled somewhat embarrassedly, took out a storage ring and handed it to Seventh Master, saying, "I have finished building the statues. I would appreciate it if Seventh Master could help me choose some places to place them, preferably in densely populated cities."
"Hmm? Some places?"
Seventh Master was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the storage ring, then fell silent.
He never expected that Lu Tao would create so many statues.
Seventh Master didn't quite understand Lu Tao's intention in making so many statues, but considering the strangeness of the prayer statues, he didn't ask any further questions and immediately agreed.
Then, Seventh Master added, "The new disciples have all been recruited and have arrived in Yongkang Prefecture. You happen to have some free time now, why don't you go and take a look?"
"Then let's go back."
Lu Tao nodded. He naturally needed to go back and take on disciples, and casually asked, "Are these disciples all of good character?"
It wasn't that Lu Tao didn't trust Seventh Master or the royal family.
The main reason is that he is now famous, and he is worried that someone might pretend to be a person of excellent character just to join the Immortal Sect and exploit his resources.
Lu Tao naturally didn't want such a disgusting thing to happen.
Seventh Master laughed and said, "Don't worry, they've all been screened."
Lu Tao nodded silently.
Then, the two left the Outer Heavens and returned to the Qianyu Continent...
