Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 422 Great God's Blessing

Inside the main temple, there was a relatively spacious ritual hall with walls covered in enhanced magical runes. The high priest Qin Xiaochuan was looking for was in this hall, currently seated on a ritual throne; he appeared to be only in his thirties. .

The quiet room was spotless, with only a faint, ethereal fragrance swirling like gossamer threads. The room was dimly lit, seemingly originating from the luminous pearls embedded in the walls, or perhaps from the radiance naturally flowing from the woman seated on the central throne.

The High Priestess sat regally on a ritual bed carved from the finest spirit jade. The bed radiated a warm, white light, and a faint chill emanated from it, yet this was neutralized by her own warmth. The woman wore a flowing, cloud-like dress of sky-blue hue, the hem of which spread out across the bed like a cloud of rosy clouds. Her dark, cloud-like hair was loosely tied up with a simple jade hairpin, a few strands falling beside her neck, adding a touch of casual elegance.

Her hands were formed in a profound mudra, resting on her knees. Her expression was serene and relaxed. Her beauty was exquisite, not in a flamboyant way, but in a comforting gentleness. Her skin was like jade, and the lines of her jaw were elegant and clear, giving her a sense of dignity amidst her gentleness.

Beneath the cold jade Dharma bed, on either side, lay a meditation cushion. A young male and female disciple were meditating intently, following their master's instructions.

As soon as Qin Xiaochuan stepped into the side hall, he felt the entire room filled with a peaceful and soothing spiritual energy. A sense of tranquility arose from within, and his body and mind unconsciously relaxed. This made him realize that the person in front of him was someone whose strength should not be underestimated.

Upon sensing the arrival of outsiders in the side hall, the male disciple was the first to open his eyes. He glanced at Qin Xiaochuan and the others and asked, "Who are you, and why have you intruded into this inner ceremonial hall?"

"We have come to see the Great God Zhu with some matters to discuss," Qin Xiaochuan said respectfully, bowing slightly.

Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, She opened her eyes, glanced at everyone, and finally lingered on Guo Shiyi's face for a moment before asking in a gentle tone, "What do you want with me?"

"We have urgent business to attend to with the Grand Master of Fate. We wonder if the Great Divine Blessing could guide us to the right path." Qin Xiaochuan repeated what he had said to the Cloud Master to the Great Divine Blessing.

Hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Dashenzhu was also somewhat surprised. She glanced at Qin Xiaochuan and said, "You are outsiders, aren't you? We will not allow outsiders to see Dasiming. Please leave."

The great master Zhu saw through Qin Xiaochuan and his group's origins at a glance, and without even asking their purpose, he directly rejected them, which was something Qin Xiaochuan never expected.

Just as Qin Xiaochuan was pondering how to persuade the other party, Kaiming had already initiated hypnosis. Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. He knew that the other party's strength was profound and could not be compared with that of the Cloud Master. He immediately shouted to stop him: "Kaiming, stop!"

But it was too late. Qin Xiaochuan clearly sensed a pure spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from the Great God Zhu, and Kaiming felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

It swayed a few times and then collapsed to the ground.

"How dare you! You dare to disrespect the Great God!" The young male disciple had clearly realized what had happened. He raised his right hand and made a sword-finger gesture, and a dazzling white light condensed at his fingertips.

"Guangye, stop!" The Great God Zhu shouted to stop his disciple, but then pointed a finger forward, and a beam of blue light shot straight at Guo Shiyi.

Guo Shiyi was taken aback and subconsciously condensed her spiritual power to form a light blue spiritual power shield in front of her. However, the blue light disappeared when it was only half a meter away from Guo Shiyi.

The Great God Zhu looked at Qin Xiaochuan, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and nodded, saying, "Impressive skills. It's truly admirable that you possess such strength at such a young age."

"You flatter me, senior. I was ignorant of my place and offended you. I hope you will forgive me, Great Master Zhu," Qin Xiaochuan said respectfully. He knew that with Great Master Zhu's strength, it would be impossible to extract information through hypnosis. At this moment, the only way was to resolve the conflict with the other party and persuade him with reason and emotion.

"Kaiming? Could it be the divine beast Kaiming that guards Kunlun Ruins for the Queen Mother of the West?" the Great God asked curiously.

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, then sincerely praised, "Great God Zhu is indeed insightful; nothing can escape your eyes."

"Why do you want to see the Great Master of Fate?" the High Priest asked gently, showing no hostility despite the earlier conflict.

Since the other party said that, she must have a way to let him see the Great Master of Fate. Qin Xiaochuan thought so. Since he was going to persuade her with reason and emotion, he had no choice but to tell her the truth. So after hesitating for a moment, he told her his purpose in wanting to see the Great Master of Fate.

"Even after thousands of years, the conflict between humans and demons has not stopped." The Great Goddess sighed, paused for a moment, and then said to Qin Xiaochuan, "Huaxu Village and Yunmeng Marsh have always been independent of each other, so your affairs should not involve us, let alone the Great Lord of Fate. Otherwise, the Great Lord of Fate will blame us for dereliction of duty."

"Even after thousands of years, the conflict between humans and demons has not stopped." The Great Goddess sighed, paused for a moment, and then said to Qin Xiaochuan, "Huaxu Village and Yunmeng Marsh have always been independent of each other, so your affairs should not involve us, let alone the Great Lord of Fate. Otherwise, the Great Lord of Fate will blame us for dereliction of duty."

Hearing the Great God Zhu say this, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel disappointed. Just as he was frowning and thinking of a solution, he heard Guo Shiyi say, "I hope the Great God Zhu can understand the suffering of the people of Huaxu and let us see the Great Lord of Fate. If we can save Huaxu from being ravaged by the demon race, I think this would be a great merit for the Great God Zhu."

"That's right, the people of Yunmengze value merit the most. How come I didn't think of that?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Guo Shiyi with admiration. Her interpersonal skills were indeed a notch above his own.

Upon hearing this, Da Shen Zhu couldn't help but look at Guo Shiyi. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly asked, "Who is Guo Tianming to you?"

"You know my dad?" Guo Shiyi asked in surprise.

"You are his daughter..." Da Shenzhu's eyes were a little dazed. "Yes, so much time has passed, he should have married and had children long ago."

"Does Master Zhu know my dad? He's the one who brought us here." Seeing Master Zhu's reaction, Guo Shiyi became even more curious.

"We practiced together in the temple, so we were practically like fellow disciples," the Great Goddess said gently, a look of reminiscence appearing on her face as she spoke.

"It's all settled." Hearing this, Qin Xiaochuan finally felt relieved. With this connection, the other party probably wouldn't refuse to help him.

"How did the Great Master Zhu figure out that I was related to your senior brother?" Guo Shiyi continued to ask. She hadn't introduced herself at all, yet the other party could see her identity at a glance, which made her very curious.
