Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Swoosh!

Everyone in the temple focused their attention on Li Zangtian.

“Let me introduce him. His name is Li Zangtian. He has been serving the Qingshan Great God since a long time ago and has been following the Great God’s divine might and will. His cultivation is at the Divine Illumination realm, but in terms of combat strength, no cultivator in the perfection stage of the Divine Illumination realm is his match. I do think it’s appropriate for Li Zangtian to be appointed as the Adjudicator of the temple,” Yin Siming introduced with a smile.

Oh? A servant of the Great God? Invincible in the Divine Illumination realm?

Hearing Yin Siming’s words, everyone was shocked. None of them had expected Li Zangtian to have such a powerful identity and background. His combat strength was especially terrifying.

“In that case, it’s decided. From today onwards, the Supervisor, Judge, and Adjudicator will begin to carry out their duties. In addition, all the merits and demerits of the temple’s clergy in their lives will be recorded in the Divine Records. From now on, meritorious deeds will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished. Alright, if there is nothing else, all of you can leave. You must prepare for the sacrificial ceremony in seven days,” Tushan Cangyue said solemnly.

After saying that, she closed her eyes and continued comprehending the divine techniques.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Everyone bowed in agreement. Then, they left the temple and went back to their work.

“Grand Heavenly Master, you’re new here and aren’t familiar with Great Green Mountain. Why don’t 1 show you around?”

Wu Huan came to Yin Siming and said respectfully.

“Alright.”

Yin Siming had just been worried that no one would lead the way. After hearing Wu Huan’s offer, he immediately agreed.

Under Wu Huan’s lead, he began to stroll around.

After grasping the basic situation of the Tushan Family and Qingshan Temple, Yin Siming gathered people and started to build the altar and the statue.

With that order, the entire Tushan Family became busy.

Very quickly, seven days passed.

Seven days later, under Yin Siming’s arrangements, an incomparably huge square was opened up under Great Green Mountain. It could accommodate a million people.

In addition, a majestic altar had been built in the center of the square. On it stood a majestic statue that was hundreds of feet tall.

With the altar as the center, all the tribesmen of the Qingshan tribe, the Leishan tribe, the Tianfeng tribe, and the Chiyue tribe were gathered on the square.

The number of people exceeded 200,000.

Everyone stood on the square, looking at the altar in the center, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

“1 heard that the Qingshan Great God is going to descend to the human world later, and then He will bestow His divine grace as well as carry out the third Divine Baptism, right?” A member of the Tianfeng tribe asked carefully.

Next to him was a member of the Qingshan tribe.

“Yes. You’ve come at a good time. My elder brother was on duty in the temple, and he heard from the High Priest that today is the day when the Qingshan Great God’s divine position will advance. When the time comes, great fortune will descend. All members of the Tushan family will receive the Great God’s grace. By then, their power and cultivation will be enhanced. 1 also heard that the Qingshan Divine Guards will be expanded after the Divine Baptism,” The man said proudly.

“So, we all have a chance to join the Qingshan Divine Guards?”

“Hey, stop dreaming. The Qingshan Divine Guards of the temple need to be very powerful. If you want to be selected, you have to be ranked at least in the top 500. Moreover, the weakest among the Qingshan Divine Guards is in the Divine Vein realm. After this Divine Baptism, I’m afraid that the weakest would be in the Divine Pedestal realm or above. If you don’t have the strength of the final stage of the Divine Pedestal realm or above, don’t even think about it.” What? Was the competition that cruel?

The surrounding crowd gasped.

It was quite obvious that they were all shocked by the harsh conditions to join the Qingshan Divine Guards.

“Big brother, do you know how many people will be added to the Qingshan Divine Guards this time?”

“How would I know? Even the Commander is not clear about this matter. The High Priest will be the one to make the decision. However, according to the current scope of the divine region, the Qingshan Divine Guards should have at least a thousand people, right?”

“Looks like I still have a chance. Hehe…”

The crowd discussed animatedly.

Everyone was waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Besides the people of the Tushan Family, many other tribes around Thunder Swamp who had heard the news also came to admire the God of Great Green Mountain.

In the crowd outside the square, a man dressed like a Daoist priest and a burly man were also silently watching.

“Mad Daoist, how dare you come to the Qingshan tribe? Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the High Priest?” Qin Daofu said in a low voice. His expression was filled with caution and vigilance.

Compared to him, the Mad Daoist was much calmer.

“What are you panicking for? We are just here to watch the show, not to cause trouble. Moreover, today is their most important sacrificial ceremony. There are so many people here, so how can they have the energy to care about us?”

“But what if…”

“Don’t worry about what if. Just watch the show. I heard that the God of Great Green Mountain will descend today. 1 wonder what He looks like. I have never seen a temple God in my entire life.”

The Mad Daoist’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Seeing him so bold and obstinate, Qin Daofu had no choice but to muster up his courage and carefully look at the square in the distance.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

At this moment, the divine servant on the altar seemed to have received some order and immediately sounded the drum.

In an instant, the majestic and solemn drumbeats shook the world.

Following the sound of the drum, the originally noisy open ground also quieted down in an instant.

“The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin,” The Mad Daoist said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling stream of light tore through the void. Then, under the gazes of countless people, a vast team entered their sights.

The leader was a woman dressed in a sacrificial dress. She was cold and aloof like the Moon God.

As she walked, she exuded divine might. At a glance, one would feel that she was incomparably sacred as if God had descended upon the human world. She was inviolable and not to be blasphemed.

At the same time, behind her was a group of clergies from the temple. Each and every one of them had extraordinary might.

In addition, the Qingshan Divine Guards were guarding the altar.

“That woman is even more powerful and terrifying than before.”

The Mad Daoist took a deep breath. Deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of fear. He felt a great threat from Tushan Cangyue especially since they were in her territory.

“Mad Daoist, I heard that the God of Great Green Mountain will carry out the third Divine Baptism. By then, they will become even stronger.”

“Yes. This is one of the mighty powers of the temple Gods. It’s not something that the Gods of the human world can compare to,” The Mad Daoist sighed.

He didn’t know much about temple Gods.

In fact, other than the temple Gods themselves, no one else knew about their methods and power. The information circulating in the world was mostly speculation.

“Mad Daoist, if we are discovered later…”

“Shh… Don’t talk!”

Whoosh!

Qin Daofu wanted to say something, but at this moment, the Mad Daoist covered his mouth tightly, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This was because Tushan Cangyue’s cold eyes had swept across the air and landed on them.

“Not good, we have been discovered!”

At this moment, the Mad Daoist panicked. He wanted to escape, but he didn’t dare to move at all.

Just as he was racking his brain for a plan, Tushan Cangyue moved her eyes away from them.

Seeing this, both the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

“Mad Daoist, what does she mean?”

“It’s alright now. As long as we don’t mess around and cause trouble, we’ll be fine. She can be considered to have acquiesced to our existence,” The Mad Daoist grinned and said,

Hearing this, Qin Daofu’s anxious heart finally calmed down.

Tushan Cangyue was surprised that the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu had come, but she didn’t pursue the matter.

After warning them, she turned her attention to the sacrificial ceremony.

“High Priest, the time has come,” A divine servant said respectfully.

“Alright. Since the time has come, then start the sacrificial ceremony.”

Under everyone’s gaze, she stepped up onto the altar..
