"Father, I'm worried that with their strength, even if they try their best and take turns to fight, they won't be able to do anything to Mu Hanyan." After Kong Renhe and others left, there was no one else in the main sacrificial hall. Guan Qingyun said worriedly.
"I know." Guan Xiu Jin said calmly.
"Since you know this, why do you still want to take such a risky move? If Mu Hanyan ascends to the position of right priestess, it will be even more difficult to force her to hand over the five-colored soul bead." Guan Qingyun was even more puzzled.
"I didn't count on them in the first place. You should also participate in this competition." Guan Xiu Jin said with a smile.
"Me!" Guan Qingyun was shocked. Even Kong Renhe and others were no match for Mu Hanyan. What was the point of him going there? Was he looking for death?
"Qingyun, there is something I haven't told you yet. Now that you have made great progress in your cultivation and have been accepted as a disciple by Lord Dou Nanshan, it's time for you to know about this." Guan Xiujin said.
"What's the matter?" Guan Qingyun asked doubtfully, wondering how this matter related to his participation in the competition for the position of right priest.
"Our Guan family has an ancestral artifact. With this artifact, it will be easy for you to defeat Mu Hanyan." Guan Xiu Jin said slowly.
"What? Our Guan family has such a powerful artifact, why haven't I heard of it?" Guan Qingyun asked in surprise.
He was only a sixth-rank Divine Heart Priest, the difference between him and Mu Hanyan was as vast as heaven and earth. If he could easily defeat Mu Hanyan with just a single divine artifact, how powerful could that artifact be? What he couldn't understand the most was that if the Guan family possessed such a powerful artifact, they would be enough to overpower the Liu family of the Death Temple and become the most powerful priest family outside of the Lesser Divine Heaven. But why had no one ever used it? He had never even heard of it.
"Because the origin of this artifact is too extraordinary." Guan Xiujin paused, then continued, "Our Guan family was one of the twelve famous families in Lesser God Heaven tens of thousands of years ago. However, due to heavy casualties in the fight for this artifact, we were forced to leave Lesser God Heaven and recuperate until now.
Generations of the Guan family's ancestors have sought to comprehend this divine artifact, hoping to one day return to Lesser Heaven and recreate the glory of their ancestors, but none have succeeded. It wasn't until your great-great-grandfather's hands that he finally cracked the secret. However, your great-great-grandfather knew that while he had comprehended the artifact's secrets by chance, his aptitude was ultimately limited, not enough to lead the Guan family to new heights. Therefore, he dared not leak the news, fearing it would bring calamity to the Guan family.
Later, this magical weapon was passed down to your great-grandfather, grandfather, and me. With the help of your great-great-grandfather, we all comprehended the mystery of this magical weapon. However, our qualifications are far inferior to your great-great-grandfather's, so how could we dare to act rashly?
Since you returned from Xiaoshentian this time, I have discussed with several elders of the clan. When you become stronger, I will pass this artifact to you, and the important task of revitalizing the clan will also be handed over to you.
Who would have thought that with Zhao Xinghong's incident, this matter would have to be brought forward. Originally, I didn't want to hand this artifact over to you too soon, but Kong Renhe's words reminded me. You've already reached the level of a sixth-rank Divine Heart Priest at such a young age, and with Lord Dou backing you up, your future is limitless. It wouldn't hurt to do it earlier.
This position of Right Priest can be a springboard for future advancement. It's a rare opportunity." Guan Xiujin became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the last sentence he patted Guan Qingyun's shoulder heavily, his face full of anticipation.
"Our Guan family has such a history. Is this magic weapon really so powerful?" Guan Qingyun never dreamed that his Guan family was once one of the twelve famous families in Xiaoshentian. He said with excitement and shock.
"When our Guan family was at its peak, there were seventeen soul priests. But they all died on the battlefield for this artifact. Do you think this artifact is powerful?" Guan Xiujin said proudly.
Seventeen soul priests actually died in battle for a divine weapon. What a great temptation this must have been. Guan Qingyun certainly had no doubts about the power of this divine weapon.
"Then, what is the name of this artifact?" Guan Qingyun asked, suppressing his inner excitement.
"Qian...Kun...Life...Death...Seal..." Guan Xiujin's expression became more solemn, and he said the name of the divine weapon almost word by word.
…
"What? Guan Xiujin announced the death of Zhao Xinghong and is also going to hold a ceremony to worship the gods, to compete and choose a new right priest?" Mu Hanyan handed in her resignation, packed up briefly and was about to leave the Temple of Life, but received the news at this time and said in surprise.
"I wonder what these old guys are planning?" Gao Weihu said with some confusion.
"If I'm not mistaken, they are most likely targeting me again. After what happened in the Spirit Palace, they should not find an opportunity to do something bad to me, so they can only use this method to lure me into the trap." Mu Hanyan could easily guess what Guan Xiujing and others were planning, and said thoughtfully.
"That's very possible. If conspiracy doesn't work, we can only rely on open conspiracy." Gao Weihu nodded.
"But unfortunately, they underestimated me, Mu Hanyan. They wanted me to be tempted by the position of right priest in the Temple of Life. I could still consider it if they wanted to change it to the position of chief priest." Mu Hanyan said jokingly.
The reason why she held the title of Huayu High Priestess was not because she was greedy for power as Kong Renhe imagined, but because An Xiaxin insisted on not accepting the position of High Priestess. The position of Right Priestess of the Temple of Life could not attract her at all.
"The position of right priest is nothing special, but if you become the right priest, there will be another benefit." Gao Weihu said.
"What's the benefit?"
"When the high priest of the upper temple first takes office, he must go to the main temple to meet the Lord God. Only with the Lord God's personal permission can he officially take office. Otherwise, it would be illegal." Gao Weihu replied.
"There is such good news, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mu Hanyan said in surprise.
She and Gao Weihu had racked their brains but could not think of a way to go to the Lesser God Heaven, so they had to return to the Flower Rain Temple and try to start from Wen Gaoren's formation. Who knew that a ready-made opportunity would appear before them.
"How could I have known they were so generous as to offer the position of Right Priest as bait? I was inconsiderate." Gao Weihu gave a wry smile. In the entire Temple of Life, besides Guan Xiujin and Jiang Ruchu, who wouldn't be tempted by the position of Right Priest? Even if Guan Xiujin himself wasn't tempted, he would surely find a way to install one of his closest associates in the position. Who would be willing to use him as bait? What if Mu Hanyan accidentally got the upper hand? Therefore, he hadn't even considered this idea.
