Chapter 1167: Chapter 1153: The Scar God Really Likes You
Alfred’s face carried a smile, seemingly eager to bring Baiyu into the Scarred Church.
Of course.
As a devotee of the God of Mechanics, Lord of Radiance, God of Justice, and God of Wisdom, adding the Scar God is not a big issue for Baiyu, but this Scar God can deliver oracles.
If he worships the Scar God, he will surely be noticed.
As for the outcome of a false believer... Baiyu thought about it and felt a chill down his spine. Given the Scar God’s temperament, he might turn into a corpse full of scars.
"We’ll discuss the issue of Scar Secret Technique later when there’s an opportunity."
Baiyu extended his palm to Alfred: "Cut quickly."
"Don’t worry."
With skilled precision, Alfred practiced with the small knife, lightly slicing Baiyu’s backhand: "Before I converted to Scars, I was an operating surgeon. My sword technique was famous in the vicinity."
A small cut was made on Baiyu’s backhand, and blood flowed out.
But with his physical strength as a Martial Artist at the Eclipse Moon Realm, the wound convulsively healed in an instant, appearing eerily.
A faint scar formed at the wound area.
Suddenly.
A scene appeared in Baiyu’s mind.
It depicted inside a planet, where the City Lord was in the planet’s Star Core, eyes tightly shut, her whole body incessantly petrifying, then shattered by the Star Core’s high temperature.
Her body was repeatedly shattered and reforged in this process.
"Her life is not in danger, but the transformation and reforging require time. She changed faith to the Fire Queen to protect her life. When she appears again, her rank should fall to a Named One."
Alfred smiled at Baiyu, saying: "All of this, Scars told me. Scars can tell me many things, such as you have strong close-combat fighting abilities, and possess Spirit Realm traversal abilities.
Scars do not lie.
Really don’t want to learn Scar Secret Technique? I’ll teach you carefully."
"Free?"
"There is no free lunch in the world. I don’t know if you’ve heard this saying, ’Free is always the most expensive.’"
Alfred’s face showed a fox-like smile.
"Then forget it. If I want to tell someone this news, do I need to draw a scar?"
Baiyu asked.
This issue is an incidental question about the City Lord’s whereabouts, so Alfred wouldn’t charge additional fees, "Make a cut on her and use the blood oozing from her wound to drip onto your wound."
Baiyu nodded and sat beside him: "Then we can talk about cooperation now. What do I need to pay? What can I gain?"
Alfred took a deep breath:
"This matter is complicated, but I hope, at that time, you can hold back one of their Saints.
If you can block a Saint, then you’ve fulfilled your cooperation duties. As for rewards, you’ll receive Scarred Church’s friendship and a Level One Sealing Object, along with Secret Technique regarding ’Blade.’
"Blade?"
Baiyu emphasized the special term.
"The Scar God is the Divine Spirit of the Blade Path, He holds the laws and authority of ’Blade.’ Scars are just a major branch within the Blade Law. We can offer you some Secret Techniques about the Blade of Scars. While not the Secret Technique of Scars, other Secret Techniques in the Blade Domain are equally precious, and this knowledge cannot be disclosed."
Alfred’s eyes flickered with a sharp light: "How about it?"
"Just hold off one Saint?"
"The Saints beside Count Misar are much stronger than ordinary Saints, even just delaying him would bear immense risk, and we are basically certain with our current intelligence, Count Misar is conducting a large-scale sacrifice to summon the Evil God of the Void Realm."
Alfred clearly outlined the dangers.
This is also the Scarred Church’s consistent style.
Unequivocal, trustworthy.
When it’s your enemy, you’ll feel utterly desperate. But if it’s an ally, it becomes incredibly reliable.
"Alright, I’ll take this deal."
Baiyu didn’t haggle further as the reward and task danger are equivalent, and Baiyu has already accepted Alfred’s advance payment.
"Very well, our covenant is witnessed by Scars."
Alfred picked up the knife again, gently slicing his own backhand, creating a wound. After a trace of blood oozed out, the wound rapidly healed, forming a faint scar.
Instantly.
Baiyu suddenly felt a special power forming on Alfred’s scar.
A unique covenant method, Scarred Church members presumably use this method and do not request witness from the God of Justice... Baiyu thought to himself that this covenant method’s binding force is certainly very potent.
The Scar God is not weaker than arbiters.
Not weaker than any Divine Spirit.
"With this, our covenant is complete. When the time comes, you will receive an invitation."
Alfred casually exhaled, then continued: "For your current realm, wanting to continue advancing requires entering a true domain, understanding laws, comprehending where the highest authority lies.
I feel you seem confused?
Your inner self is too mixed; whether it’s the Extraordinary Path or Martial Artist’s way, both are paths to reach the peak, yet no one can proceed on both paths simultaneously."
Alfred said in a deep voice.
Baiyu gazed at him, this elder with graying temples but bright eyes seemed full of spirit. Despite the frail appearance, inside he possessed powerful and terrifying Blood Qi.
"You’re a Martial Artist?"
Baiyu hadn’t considered this before.
As a devotee of a Divine Spirit, especially a Chief Judge within the Church, he surely should be a High Sequence powerhouse adhering to a corresponding path.
Baiyu didn’t know which paths involved Blade authority.
However, he never imagined Alfred was a Martial Artist, which seemed rather implausible.
"Indeed, the Martial Artist path can also be seen as an Extraordinary Path, except it’s an Extraordinary Path all humanity can cultivate."
Alfred smiled: "Have you ever doubted why Blood Qi and Extraordinary Path can be cultivated together?
Because Blood Qi is considered humanity’s inherent Extraordinary Path.
Since human birth, they possess this path.
The Creator did not give humans a mighty physique, nor did He give them supreme wisdom, but he endowed all humanity with the potential for cultivation, the possibility to grow strong, offering humanity infinite potential."
Alfred looked at Baiyu: "To step into the Sun Realm, you need to unify the two Extraordinary Paths within yourself. You can follow this direction, as for your Golden Bloodline, only when you reach the Sun Realm will you discover its true usage."
Baiyu slightly furrowed his brow: "Why tell me this?"
"Because, it’s the revelation Scars gave me, the Scar God likes you very much."
Alfred said cryptically.
