Unexpectedly, the Xuanhuang Stone given by Fen Qianji would bring such great benefits to herself. Thinking of him, Mu Hanyan felt even more grateful, and the longing and worry surged into her heart again.
"My Lord Saint, although I don't know why you came to the Continent of God, if you want to survive here, or return to the Holy Court Continent one day, becoming a priest is the only way. Only in this way can you hide your identity from others. Otherwise, your identity will be discovered sooner or later. Only in this way can you learn the secret techniques of the temple and have enough strength to return to the Holy Court Continent." Ye Yian said.
"Okay." Mu Hanyan pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.
Although she didn't have to worry about her identity being discovered for the time being with Ye Yian's protection, Ye Yian was already in his twilight years and who knew how much longer he could live. He couldn't protect her forever. Moreover, she was unwilling to hide in this small mountain village forever. Her relatives were waiting for her in the Holy Court Continent.
Mu Hanfeng, Hua Yue and others are still floating in the endless void. For her, her grandmother is still fighting with the powerful enemy. She must rescue them.
Becoming strong, only by becoming strong, can she rescue them and reunite with her family. Her strong heart became more firm and persistent than ever before.
"This time, the Fengcheng Temple in Tianfeng City is recruiting priests. This is your best opportunity." Ye Yian continued.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan asked subconsciously.
"The temple has always been very strict in recruiting priests. Not only must they have good qualifications, but they must also have a clean background and absolutely no connection to the Holy Court Continent. Therefore, in the past, when the major temples recruited priests, they usually selected them from the priests' relatives and friends. Ordinary people who wanted to enter the temple had to go through multiple screenings to verify their identity.
"Back when I first arrived on the Divine Continent, the Temple suffered heavy casualties from the great war, but they didn't actively recruit priests. My injuries nearly destroyed my cultivation, and I spent years recuperating. Then, after decades of traveling with the Mu Family, I finally concealed my identity and passed the assessment to become a priest." At this point, Ye Yian paused. He was quite old, and although he was still excited about meeting his fellow disciples from the Holy Court, he felt a little tired after speaking so much.
Mu Hanyan was not surprised at what he said. The Holy Court was also very strict in selecting disciples. That was why the God Lord launched that war a thousand years ago and took the opportunity to send Bu Xuanji's ancestors to the Holy Court continent. Then he took advantage of the heavy casualties among the disciples of the Holy Court and the slight relaxation in the selection of disciples to sneak into the Holy Court.
Even so, in order to conceal their identities, Bu Xuanji's great-grandfather committed suicide early, so that Bu Xuanji could gain a foothold in the Holy Court and become a deacon.
The temple is extremely wary of the Holy See, and the selection of priests is of course even more strict.
"But this time, for some unknown reason, the major temples are recruiting priests, and the restrictions on identity are far less strict than before. Otherwise, you really would not have the opportunity to enter the temple and learn the temple's secret techniques." Ye Yian took a sip of tea and continued.
"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Mu Hanyan finally understood what Ye Yian meant by the best opportunity, but she was a little confused in her heart. Why would the temple recruit priests at this time?
The reason why the Holy See recruited disciples in such a wide range of ways was because of the heavy casualties in the great war with the Temple. The situation of the Temple at that time was not much better than that of the Holy See, and it did not recruit priests on a large scale, but chose to take action at this time. What was the reason behind this?
Could it be that the Temple was about to make some major move? The Temple's only enemy was the Holy Court. Could it be that the Divine Master was planning to attack the Holy Court Continent again? This was the only possibility Mu Hanyan could think of.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but feel a little worried. In order to seal the Nine Netherworld Prison, two-thirds of the top masters from all countries on the continent were lost, and the Holy Court also suffered heavy losses. At the same time she arrived at the Continent of Gods, hundreds of descendants of the guardians of God and the last five saints all fell into the endless void.
If the Temple attacks the Holy Court Continent at this time, no matter how powerful the Holy Lord is, he will never be able to resist it. It is really like adding insult to injury.
However, despite her worries, Mu Hanyan knew that given her current situation, she could not change anything, and she could not even find out the temple's intentions.
Strength. Only by recovering her strength, no, not just recovering her strength, but having a strength stronger than before, can she change all this.
"My Lord Saint, if you are meaningless, I will announce later that you will represent Mujia Village to go to Fengcheng Temple to participate in the priest assessment. It just so happens that your surname is Mu. If I am not mistaken, you should be a descendant of Anyun Mu family. It just so happens that you don't even need to change your name." Ye Yian said.
"Will it be leaked?" After all, there are many people and many gossips, and Mu Hanyan is not very confident about the villagers outside.
"You don't have to worry about that. The Mu family of Mujia Village is one of the oldest ancient clans in the Continent of Gods. However, like other impoverished clans, they were homeless and wandered around. It wasn't until I became a priest that I was granted this fiefdom, and they finally had a place to live.
According to the rules of the temple, every priest can get a fiefdom, but if a person dies, the fiefdom can only be occupied for a maximum of 500 years. Even if the person has not died, he can only occupy it for 1,000 years. Once the time limit is up, it must be returned to the temple unless a new priest is born.
I am already quite old. Although I have survived until now by taking elixirs, I will not live long. Besides, even if I continue to linger on, this fiefdom must be returned to the temple.
The reason why these villagers placed high hopes on Ling Baobao and spared no expense in purchasing medicinal herbs and elixirs for him was because they hoped that he could represent the Mu family in the priest assessment and keep the fiefdom for them.
So don't worry, they will never say anything about your identity or background, and will only treat you as a member of the Mu family." Ye Yian said.
"Also, I believe you have also seen their respect for me. Since I said that you are my old friend, they will be even less suspicious of your origins, even less likely to doubt you, and even less likely to discuss anything in private." Later, Ye Yian added.
"That's true." Having said this, Mu Hanyan felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary.
The villagers had originally mistaken her for a temple priestess, and later heard that she was an old friend of Ye Yian. Given their reverence for Ye Yian, how could they possibly doubt her origins? Besides, they dared to pin their hopes on a completely unknown Ling Baobao, so how could they possibly doubt her origins?
