Chapter 2567: Chapter 2568: Power of Faith
Then, these tribesmen knelt on the ground, muttering words that must have been taught to them by the Third Master earlier.
Ye Luo listened carefully for a moment, and indeed, these were Sanskrit from Earth, but the exact content was beyond Ye Luo’s comprehension.
His heart stirred, and the Clairvoyant Eye was activated.
Instantly, he noticed that a trace of Power of Faith was emanating from these tribesmen and quickly converging on a special Magic Artifact above the Incense Burner.
At first, this Power of Faith was very weak, but as these tribesmen mastered the Sanskrit fluently, the Power of Faith slowly increased.
However, even so, each person’s Power of Faith was still quite weak, detectable only because Ye Luo had activated his Clairvoyant Eye, or it would have been impossible to perceive this so-called Power of Faith.
But, when the Power of Faith from tens of thousands of people gathered together, it became incredibly terrifying.
This is the dreadful nature of the Power of Faith; no matter who you are or what the cultivation level of the cultivator is, their Power of Faith can be combined into an extremely powerful force.
Other kinds of power are essentially incapable of this, which is what makes those Buddhist sect masters so terrifying!
Not to mention, the Buddhist sect masters on Earth endure more than tens of thousands of people’s incense, accumulating over years, resulting in an incomprehensibly terrifying power.
Of course, the distinction between ordinary people and cultivators is significant; according to Ye Luo’s speculation, it might be related to Divine Sense or perhaps the soul. Even if cultivators do not cultivate Divine Sense, the strength of their Divine Soul, with the elevation of their realm, is several times stronger than that of ordinary people!
When calculated this way, an Earth Martial Realm cultivator could be at least equivalent to over a hundred ordinary people or more! Not to mention a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator!
But these are just Ye Luo’s guesses; the Power of Faith is not so simple.
For cultivators, the Power of Faith doesn’t really consume anything. It’s just that focusing and chanting the Sanskrit suffices.
Although a cultivator like Ye Luo could contribute a significant amount of Power of Faith, he had no intention of doing so, as chanting Sanskrit was more profoundly consequential than cultivating Buddhist sect techniques, potentially leading to significant trouble for him!
And those cultivation techniques were indirectly passed to him by the Queen, much less closely related to the Buddhist sect.
This ritual lasted for two full days and nights without interruption.
Of course, it only paused due to external circumstances when people from the Kunshan Tribe arrived!
However, this time the Kunshan Tribe did not directly press with a large army but sent a Grand Elder, clearly intending to negotiate with Qingxiu Peak.
Thus, Princess Xiu, along with Ye Luo and the Vice Clan Leader, arrived at the reception hall and saw an elder with several young people sitting in the center of the hall. The elder had white hair and a youthful appearance, with an extraordinary aura, while the young people all wore an expression of superiority.
As expected of the Kunshan Tribe, even their disciples carried themselves in such an arrogant manner.
Upon entering, Princess Xiu’s expression darkened immediately because the seats they occupied were not meant for guests; they were sitting in the host’s position.
You might say these disciples didn’t understand the rules, but could it be that a Grand Elder, who had lived for an unknown number of years, didn’t understand this either?
Obviously not! The Kunshan Tribe is truly too arrogant.
"Elder, it seems you’re seated incorrectly!" Princess Xiu coldly remarked.
The Grand Elder of the Kunshan Tribe showed no concern, "I don’t feel anything is wrong here; explain to me what’s wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Xiu was truly furious, and even the Vice Clan Leader’s face turned sour.
"This is the reception hall of Qingxiu Peak, so naturally, the main seat should be occupied by someone from Qingxiu Peak!" Princess Xiu immediately retorted.
Don’t underestimate a mere seat; it represented the dignity of Qingxiu Peak! The Kunshan Tribe’s actions were clearly disrespectful towards Qingxiu Peak.
"Hmph, if our Kunshan Tribe besieged Qingxiu Peak right now, we could take down your Qingxiu Peak in minutes. What’s the issue with my master sitting here?" A young disciple from the Kunshan Tribe declared loudly.
"That’s true, and by then, it’s not just about seats; everyone at Qingxiu Peak wouldn’t escape a tragic end!" Another young disciple stepped forward, looking disdainfully at Princess Xiu and the others.
"Ignorant young ones, how dare you interrupt while elderlies are speaking!" the Vice Clan Leader said, narrowing his eyes.
"Though my apprentices’ words are a bit harsh, the underlying truth remains. I’m here to offer you a choice this time!" The Grand Elder said coolly, clearly having no intention to vacate the seat.
"Is the revered Grand Elder of Kunshan Tribe nothing more than a senile fool, lacking even the most basic understanding of etiquette?" Ye Luo’s icy voice emerged from behind Princess Xiu.
Upon these words, the Grand Elder’s face across from them turned dark, while the young men’s eyes blazed with anger.
Even Princess Xiu and the Vice Clan Leader displayed unnatural expressions.
At this critical moment, especially after realizing the Kunshan Tribe possessed mysterious powers, Ye Luo’s actions were tantamount to provoking them, were they not?
Moreover, although Princess Xiu and the Vice Clan Leader disliked the Kunshan Tribe, they intended to negotiate with them this time.
After all, sandwiched between the Moonwater Tribe and the Kunshan Tribe, Qingxiu Peak barely stood a chance for survival.
However, if they managed to reach an agreement with one side, they might just manage to survive.
"Young man, you deserve death. Princess Xiu, does this boy represent the attitude of Qingxiu Peak?" the Grand Elder coldly questioned.
His gaze drifted between Princess Xiu and Ye Luo.
"Well!" Princess Xiu hesitated.
She couldn’t understand why Ye Luo acted so recklessly.
"Then, I would like to know if you represent the Kunshan Tribe? If everyone in the Kunshan Tribe is as foolish as you, there’s no need to talk further. Without basic manners, you, old fool, couldn’t even compare to a three-year-old child! What’s the point in discussing any further?" Ye Luo continued coldly.
His words served to insult the Kunshan Tribe while also advising Princess Xiu.
Though Princess Xiu was cunning, her lack of experience was evident. Not to mention anything else, Ye Luo had watched enough television dramas on Earth to effectively handle issues like this Space-Time Channel!
The Kunshan Tribe’s attitude from the start indicated that even if negotiations continued, Qingxiu Peak would suffer greatly, equaling near extinction.
