I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 443: Chapter 426: Born for Battle

"Wang Meng, as long as you are in the Holy Hall, the Dharma Flower Sect will stand or fall with the Holy Hall."

This was the second time Fan Ru had made this promise. He was speechless with gratitude for Wang Meng.

Lu Chenfeng, Mu Jiuling, and Yun Potian also offered their congratulations. With the birth of a Holy Statue, the Dharma Flower Sect’s status changed in an instant. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the sect’s strength was now bound to increase.

The Netherworld Dark Emperor Holy Statue was not something to be trifled with.

Fan Hong’s breakthrough made the expedition to the Primordial Divine Hall seem insignificant by comparison. Although Yun Potian and Mu Jiuling had gained some items and had their own enlightenments on the Path of Immortality and Mortality, their achievements were completely overshadowed by Fan Hong’s.

External objects were, after all, just external. The power one possessed within could not be lost and could also be continuously developed.

Fan Hong didn’t bother to taunt Hann Yun in return. Just savoring the look on his face was satisfying enough.

Lu Chenfeng and the other three searched the Primordial Divine Hall, but to their disappointment, the temple had not left behind anything of great value.

Fan Hong and Fan Ru headed back. Having just obtained his Holy Statue, Fan Hong needed some time to properly temper his new Holy Statue Ability. It seemed Fan Xiaoniao would have to trade in his dream of being a small-time merchant.

News of the Netherworld Dark Emperor Holy Statue’s appearance spread quickly.

Although no one was sure what abilities this Holy Statue possessed or how powerful it was, any Holy Statue was an object of envy.

The Dharma Flower Sect also became famous for a time because of this.

As they were leaving, Bu Qingyun left Wang Meng with an interesting remark. "Wang Meng, you truly are a lucky star. It seems everyone around you manages to cultivate a Holy Statue."

However, Hann Yun added with perfect timing, "Too bad he can’t get one for himself."

Perhaps the one who gained the most this time wasn’t Fan Hong, but Wang Meng, for he had discovered a way to steal from the heavens.

Use Divine Sense to attract a Celestial Tribulation, creating a high-pressure environment to facilitate the birth of a Life Artifact or Holy Statue, while the Life Wheel spins to change fate!!!

’Although it’s not a 100% guarantee, it greatly increases the odds. Someone like Fan Hong, who already had good aptitude and was fully prepared, naturally gave birth to a Holy Statue.’

Wang Meng thought of Zhang Xiaopang, Yang Ying, and the others. They had all cultivated to over the fortieth layer. It would be a true waste if they just followed the normal, step-by-step path to Minor Perfection in a few years.

’But with me here, their chances of success would increase by at least thirty or forty percent.’

’The outcome could be completely different.’

Even Wang Meng himself felt his heart pound.

’This could change his destiny, the destiny of his brothers and sisters, the destiny of his women, and the destiny of the entire Holy Hall!’

’Among the Ten Great Sects, why can’t there be a place for the Holy Hall?!’

’The Life Wheel is, in essence, the Wheel of Destiny.’

’Godhood is the very framework of a god.’

’When you combine them, why can’t you defy the heavens and succeed?’

After politely declining Lu Chenfeng’s invitation, Wang Meng left Storm City and headed for the headquarters of the Taiyin Sect.

After the news of the Dharma Flower Sect producing a Holy Statue spread, the undercurrents stirred by the upcoming Battle of the Other Shore suddenly came to the forefront. Led by the Ten Great Sects, an overwhelming promotional campaign began.

The five great Cultivation Academies of the Great Yuan Realm, the Slaughter Space, and all the major Great Cultivation Cities were suddenly flooded with information about the Ten Great Sects and introductions to the outstanding members of their younger generations.

In the past, even titles for figures like the Eight Emperors were only known within certain circles; the outside world knew almost nothing about these people.

But now, things were different. The major cities of every Small Thousand Realm erupted with news.

The power of the Star Alliance was at work here, as was the power of the Ten Great Sects, and there were likely other hidden hands pushing things along as well.

Even the relatively isolated Four Directions Small Thousand World was in an uproar.

In the eyes of most Cultivators in the Four Directions Small Thousand World, there was only the Holy Hall, Heaven-Dominating Hall, the Demon Heart Sect, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and the Eight Great Castles Alliance. To these Cultivators, they were the heavens!

But suddenly, they learned there was such a vast world outside!

The Star Alliance seized this opportunity to increase its influence, pushing hard into every Small Thousand Realm.

Only then did the Cultivators learn that a massive organization called the Star Alliance even existed.

And among them were the Ten Great Sects. Where did their own sect rank?

There was shock, sighs, excitement, and doubt...

It had to be said, this major move by the Star Alliance sent waves of excitement through the hearts of many Cultivators in the Small Thousand Realms.

In fact, the Small Thousand Realms where the top twenty sects resided were relatively calm. These realms were more developed and already connected with the Star Alliance, so they already knew what needed to be known. The further down the rankings a realm was, the more fervent the reaction.

No Cultivator could suppress their curiosity. The thought of such a vast world outside was enough to make their blood boil with excitement.

The condition for participating in the Battle of the Other Shore was to be above the Minor Perfection realm but below the Great Perfection realm.

The chance to make a name for oneself and gain benefits that could lead to the Great Perfection realm—almost everything a Cultivator could want was here.

Who would want to remain obscure?

Young Cultivators craved a bigger stage, stronger power, and more excitement!

In the Battle of the Other Shore, even if you came from the most backward Small Thousand Realm, as long as you had the ability, you could become famous overnight!

Across the thousands of Small Thousand Realms, were there no geniuses?

Even in backward places, there will always be geniuses!

After years of operation, the Star Alliance was finally letting go of all restraints. It was time to let the Cultivators of every Small Thousand Realm know of its existence.

Those sects that wanted to hide all this and cherished their isolation would certainly be impacted, but this was a massive, irreversible trend.

All sects had to accept the challenge. Survival of the fittest!

’So the Holy Hall is that powerful!’

In the Four Directions Small Thousand World, the Holy Hall Disciples’ contact with the Star Alliance was a recent development. Yet, recently, legends of the Star Alliance had begun to circulate in major cities, including Tongming City.

It turned out that the strongest power from the Four Directions Small Thousand World within the Star Alliance was the Holy Hall, ranked fifty-sixth. The Cultivators finally understood why powers as strong as the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Eight Great Castles Alliance constantly pressured the Demon Heart Sect and had long coveted Heaven-Dominating Hall, yet left the Holy Hall completely untouched.

The Eight Great Castles Alliance had settled for second best by allying with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, causing the latter’s strength to soar. Especially in the current climate where the holy waned and the demonic waxed, Demon Cultivators were riding a wave of momentum. Yet even so, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was only ranked one hundred and thirteenth, not even in the same league as the Holy Hall.

And in the entire Four Directions Small Thousand World, there were a total of six people qualified to be members of the Star Alliance!

Holy Hall Sect Leader Xuee Zhongnan, Heaven-Dominating Sect Master Jiny Tiannan, Demon Heart Sect Leader Jinn Qiushui, Ten Thousand Demons Sect Leader Celestial Demon, Holy Hall Disciple Wang Meng, and Pure Land Disciple Mingren.

The last two were especially eye-catching. In a place where only Sect Leaders at the Great Perfection realm were qualified to enter, a Holy Hall disciple and a former Holy Hall disciple were actually qualified to join.

In an instant, the entire Four Directions Small Thousand World began to look toward the Holy Hall with infinite yearning.

Sects like the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, which closed their doors and were content in their own little world, had no real influence. The Holy Hall was the real deal.

It was obvious the Holy Hall held an extraordinary position in the Star Alliance, and many Cultivators began to flock towards it.

Prestige was incredibly important for a sect, as its reputation was the source of its ability to attract powerful Cultivators and recruit new disciples.

The quality of Holy Hall disciples had already improved significantly in recent years, and some extraordinary Cultivators had joined, greatly enhancing the sect’s strength. This incident with the Star Alliance directly pushed the Holy Hall to new heights.

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect was overcome with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They had to back down even when Wang Meng wasn’t a member of the Star Alliance; now, they dared not make a rash move even more.

It wasn’t that the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was afraid of the current Wang Meng, but he was worried about the connections behind him. After all, killing one Wang Meng wasn’t difficult, but what would the Star Alliance think? And what about Wang Meng’s allies?

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect truly felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throat—an incredibly uncomfortable situation, but for the moment, they could find no solution.

And the Holy Hall was in an even greater uproar.

Every new disciple had heard a legend. In the Thunderlight Hall, a legendary figure had emerged. With an aptitude of only the Second Layer of Life Mark, he had dominated the Holy Hall, transforming the last-ranked Thunderlight Hall into the current number one hall in the sect, unmatched under the heavens.

Was that the end?

No!

That was only the beginning of the legend. Under the relentless pressure of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, he returned from the Great Yuan Realm and single-handedly forced the Eight Great Castles to sign a humiliating treaty, compelling the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to sue for peace!

Can you believe it?!

At that time, he was only a Cultivator who had yet to advance to Minor Perfection.

Some believed, and some were skeptical!

After all, a legend is just a legend, likely embellished and exaggerated. How could one person possibly be so powerful!

But no one offered any explanations. In the Holy Hall, especially in the Thunderlight Hall, every new disciple would hear this legend.

The man in the legend was named Wang Meng.

And now, the legend had suddenly descended to the mortal realm. In the Great Yuan Realm where thousands of Small Thousand Realms vied for supremacy, there was a most powerful organization called the Star Alliance, and only the strongest, most powerful figures from each Small Thousand Realm could become its members.

Celestial Demon, Xuee Zhongnan, Jinn Qiushui, and Jiny Tiannan were undoubtedly qualified. But the presence of the name Wang Meng was the ultimate confirmation of the legend!

He was a true legend, one who couldn’t be bothered to respond to the doubters.

While Wang Meng’s legend continued, Mingren was like a bombshell.

The people of the Four Directions Small Thousand World didn’t have much of a concept of what the Holy Light Demon Collapse Body meant, but being a member of the Star Alliance was proof enough of everything.

Moreover, he had joined the Pure Land, the number one power in the Star Alliance.

This was a place that was legendary even in the Great Yuan Realm.

What kind of charm did the Holy Hall possess to produce such powerhouses?

The Cultivators of the Four Directions Small Thousand World were desperate to know. More and more of them flocked in, arriving at Thunderlight Hall and Lingyin Hall.

This was undoubtedly a blessing for Hu Jing and Zhao Lingxuan.

Of course, Zhao Lingxuan had been very troubled lately. Her precious Little Spirit was missing. They had been together since she was little, and Zhao Lingxuan was deeply worried. But after becoming the head senior sister of Lingyin Hall, she had indeed matured a lot and no longer acted recklessly, so she could only send people out to search everywhere.

The Battle of the Other Shore...

Many in the Holy Hall were very interested. Zhang Xiaojiang and the others were also eager. To be honest, they no longer had any real rivals in the Holy Hall. Although they didn’t know what the standard was in the Great Yuan Realm, they were full of longing.

It was just that the Star Alliance had not yet announced the selection plan for each Small Thousand Realm. It was obviously impossible for everyone to flood into the Great Yuan Realm. This contest for supremacy would undoubtedly be the most intense.

This would no longer be a struggle between individual sects, but a truly unprecedented and fierce competition—a demonstration of the strongest might of a Small Thousand Realm.(To be continued.
