Such a grand scene shocked even the young priests who came in to watch the excitement. They were secretly puzzled. It should have been just a test for the new priests. One or two high priests would have been enough to hold up the front. Why did they need so many people to come out to welcome them? They seemed to think too highly of Mu Hanyan.
How could they know that the reason Guan Xiujing and others appeared at the same time was not to welcome Mu Hanyan, but just to see her true strength.
It was helpless to say. As high priests of the upper temple, although they guessed that the batch of five-colored soul beads were on Mu Hanyan, they were afraid of her because they did not know her true strength. They were suspicious and timid, and were unable to do anything about her. In the end, they had to rely on Gao Weilong to test her strength.
Facing Guan Xiujing and others, the young priests who followed them were all silent, not daring to breathe.
However, Mu Hanyan had seen many storms and waves, so she was not under any pressure. She bowed calmly and said, "I am Mu Hanyan, the chief priest of the Flower Rain Temple. I have come to the Life Temple to train and practice. I would like to greet Chief Priest Guan and all the gentlemen."
"No need to be polite." Guan Xiujin waved his hand and said, "You should have heard the rules of the Temple of Life. Every priest who comes here to practice cultivation must pass the test of the Temple of Shinto. Are you ready?"
"Ready." Mu Hanyan said.
"Well, let's go to the Shinto temple." Guan Xiu Jin didn't say any more nonsense and led them directly to a hall. Other priests of all sizes followed in one after another.
Compared to the other halls of the Life Temple, the Shinto Hall was built more solidly. Its ground and walls were constructed from massive stones several feet thick, and it was clearly protected by a formation. This was no wonder. Besides testing new priests, the Shinto Hall was also a venue for competition and exchange between the Life Temple's priests. Those qualified to enter this hall had at least reached the level of Divine Heart Priest, and there were even high-ranking Divine Heart Priests. Their destructive power was astonishing. If it wasn't built more solidly and without the protection of the formation, the entire temple could be destroyed by accident.
When Mu Hanyan and others stepped into the Shinto Temple, Gao Weilong had been waiting for a long time.
He wore a brand new ritual robe, the nine cloud patterns on the hem of which indicated the cultivation of a ninth-rank Divine Heart Priest. His weapon, like Gao Weihu's, was a massive hammer more than a man tall. Its pitch-black edge gleamed with the unique sheen of meteorite gold, and it appeared to be significantly heavier than Gao Weihu's hammer.
"By the way, Chief Priest Mu, this time the test will be conducted by Lord Gao Weilong. His strength has reached the ninth-level Divine Heart Priest, so you have to be careful." Guan Xiujin pretended to remind him.
"So strong?" Mu Hanyan smiled faintly, a hint of sarcasm evident in her eyes. "You really think highly of me. What others might consider a formality is a so-called test, but for me, it's like becoming a ninth-rank Divine Heart Priest." But it's a shame, with such strength, you're trying to intimidate me. You're still underestimating me.
"Chief Priest Mu has a special status. The Flower Rain Temple is one of the oldest temples in my Divine Continent. How dare my Life Temple look down on you? If you are weak, how can you be qualified to test Mu Hanyan's cultivation? This is also a respect for you." Guan Xiu Jin seemed not to hear the sarcasm in her laughter, and said seriously.
"Thank you, Master Guan." Mu Hanyan looked at Guan Xiujin with disdain. He was the type of person who wanted to be a virtuous woman and also be a saint.
