Not long after, there was another knock on the door. It was Zhuge Qiu who came. Guan Qingyun was afraid of any complications, so before returning to the main hall, he went to the temple prison in person and led him out.
Zhuge Qiu had never violated the laws of the temple. He was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison only because of a word from Zhao Xinghong. Now that Zhao Xinghong is dead, and Zhao Xinghu and Zhao Zhiyuan, uncle and nephew, are disabled, the Zhao family is in a difficult situation. Naturally, no one would bother Zhuge Qiu again. As soon as Guan Qingyun made an suggestion, the priest guarding the Heavenly Prison immediately released him.
"Lord Zhuge, I'm sorry for causing you suffering." Mu Hanyan said to Zhuge Qiu apologetically.
"Your Excellency the Chief Priest, you are too kind. I am just doing my duty. How can I blame you? It is thanks to your efforts, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been imprisoned." Zhuge Qiu laughed heartily.
Guan Qingyun was so anxious to let him out just to comfort Mu Hanyan, so when Zhuge Qiu asked curiously what happened, he did not hide it and attributed all the credit to Mu Hanyan.
"Lord Zhuge, did Zhao Xinghong make things difficult for you?" Mu Hanyan asked with concern.
"No, no, I've had good food and accommodation during this period, and I haven't been bothered by trivial matters. My cultivation has also improved a lot. In addition to these elixirs compensated by the temple, I believe I will be able to be promoted to the realm of God's Heart Priest soon. To be honest, it's a blessing in disguise for me." Zhuge Qiu laughed and took out the elixir given to him by Guan Qingyun.
Although these pills are not as effective as Tianluoshenhuandan and Zhengyangshenzhendan, their quality is extremely extraordinary. They were all brought back by Guan Qingyun from Xiaoshentian.
There was nothing he could do about it. The Temple of Life had been struggling lately, and Guan Xiujin's small fortune had been nearly depleted, leaving Guan Qingyun with no choice but to pay out of his own pocket. For his future, Guan Xiujin had spent a lot of money over the years, so it was time for him to contribute.
"Congratulations in advance, Master Zhuge," Mu Hanyan said sincerely. While becoming a Divine Heart Priest was nothing to Mu Hanyan, it was a lifelong dream for many priests on the Divine Continent, and she was happy for Zhuge Qiu.
"By the way, I've also heard a little about Lord Zhao's affairs. I'm afraid that Chief Priest Guan and others will not let you go easily. It's better to be careful in everything." Zhuge Qiu said to Mu Hanyan with a serious expression.
There had been a lot of rumors circulating in the Temple of Life recently, and Zhuge Qiu had heard some of them even while in the Heavenly Prison. Although he was a man of integrity, he wasn't a pedantic person, so he didn't try to persuade Mu Hanyan, but was simply concerned for her safety.
"Thank you, Lord Zhuge, for the reminder. I will be careful." Mu Hanyan nodded.
Afterwards, Zhuge Qiu said goodbye and left, returning to the Tianyang Temple.
Mu Hanyan wasn't idle either. She took Gao Weihu to the market again, inquiring about the Qiankun Life and Death Seal while also buying some medicinal herbs to prepare some elixirs. Although the Tianluo Shenhuan Pill and Zhengyang Shenzhen Pill were both the most advanced elixirs in the Life Temple, they were too simple after all. It was better to refine a variety of elixirs to be on the safe side.
After all, Guan Xiujing and others are all very strong. Although she is absolutely sure that she can deal with them, she cannot be too careless. It is always a good thing to be more cautious.
In the main sacrificial hall, Guan Xiujing and others finally felt relieved after receiving Guan Qingyun's reply.
"Mu Hanyan finally couldn't resist the temptation of the Soul Palace. Now, it's up to us." Guan Xiujin said with a gloomy face.
"This time, we must not give Mu Hanyan any chance." Jiang Ruchu said with a sneer.
"There are more than 200,000 five-colored soul beads, and nearly a hundred Tianluo Shenhuan Pills and Zhengyang Shenzhen Pills. She is not afraid that her appetite will burst! No matter how much she swallows, we will make her spit it out!" Kong Renhe had a murderous look on his face.
…
Three days passed quickly, and when the sky was getting light, Mu Hanyan followed Guan Xiujing and others to the top floor of the Temple of Life.
The Temple of Life is huge. Like the City of Life, it has five floors. The first floor is divided into the front hall and the back hall. The back hall is mainly where many priests live. The front hall is the same as other temples. It has a meeting hall where the chief priest issues decrees, a certification hall where the priests' cultivation is assessed, and many quiet rooms for training. Most of the defensive formations are also distributed here.
The second floor is where high-level priests practice, and the third floor is a special library. The secret manuals of martial arts passed down for nearly a million years in the Temple of Life are treasured here. Mu Hanyan also came here to comprehend it two days ago, but as the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. With her current strength and vision, these secret manuals are not too special. It’s just that the understanding of the laws is a little different. When one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, they are dispensable.
The fourth floor of the temple was, of course, where the main sacrificial hall was located. Mu Hanyan had never been quite sure what the fifth floor was.
It was not until today that she realized that this fifth-floor hall was the spatial entrance to the Soul Hall.
At this moment, the sky was barely light, still an intoxicating deep blue, with only a fiery crimson glow emerging from the horizon. Glancing up into the abyss of heaven, one could faintly make out twinkling stars. It was as if the entire world, the Sacred Continent, and the endless void were all connected by this tower.
This feeling was surprisingly similar to the space within her star disk. Through the mysterious space deep within her chest's Destiny Star Disk, heaven and earth were connected to the endless void. Within this space, one could even directly absorb and refine the power of the Nine Heavens. However, as her realm continued to rise, this power floating in the void was no longer sufficient for her cultivation needs.
Mu Hanyan couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Why was the top level of the Temple of Life so similar to her star chart space?
"The Temple of Life originally had only four floors. This fifth floor was specially added after the Temple of Soul was discovered." Guan Xiujin hurriedly explained after noticing Mu Hanyan's strange expression.
After enduring humiliation and suffering hardships, they finally got Mu Hanyan to come to the Soul Palace. If she changes her mind at the last minute, they will suffer a great loss.
His worries were obviously unnecessary. Mu Hanyan was just a little curious. How could she change her mind so easily?
After hearing Guan Xiujing's explanation, she just nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Seeing that she hadn't changed her mind, Guan Xiujin felt relieved and quickly executed a hand seal. Soon, the illusory light and shadow unique to a teleportation channel appeared above the formation in the center of the hall.
"Master Priest Mu, please come in." Guan Xiujing was the first to step into the formation, followed closely by Jiang Ruchu and others.
"Weihu, you stay in the temple and wait for me to come back." Mu Hanyan instructed Gao Weihu and stepped into the formation.
If she was alone, she would have the confidence to protect herself even if Guan Xiujing and others attacked her. Gao Weihu would not be able to help much if he went there, so it would be safer for her to stay in the Temple of Life.
