Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 1279
Chapter 1279 Horseman!
As a place where tens of thousands of people lived, Qiushui Town naturally had to worship the White Tiger Sacred Idol. From the moment he entered the town, he had noticed the Sacred Idol standing at the east of the town.
The town was not like a village. There were simply too many people. They wouldn’t let everyone enter the town first before entering the city. This would create a crowd, so they were free to go whenever they wanted to. They didn’t care about praying for a while.
When he entered the town, Qin Fei saw at least thirty cultivators incense sticks. However, his cultivation was between the 1st and 3rd level of the Initial Martial Stage, so he didn’t pay much attention to them.
Xiaosi and Mangzi Three went to Sister Hua’s and the others’ place. They were certain that they wouldn’t be able to come back for a while. There was nothing wrong. Qin Fei walked out of the room and told Mangzi Three that he wanted to go out for a walk. Mangzi Three and Xiaosi were busy communicating with the goddess, so they didn’t pester each other to go together.
This was exactly what Qin Fei wanted. Leaving the inn, Straight out of town, Qiushui Town has five main streets, More than a dozen alleys were built next to the two sides of the river. The river was called the Qiushui River. It went upstream along the Qiushui River and crossed the two main streets to the outskirts of the town. Even though it was already very late, the streets were still bustling with activity. People traveling from south to north were pouncing on the wind and dust along the way. When they encountered a place to rest, they naturally had to indulge.
The statue was on an open space at the entrance of the town. This was the only square in the town. It was hundreds of meters long and wide. Only after passing through the square and entering the arch at the entrance of the town did one truly step into Qiushui Town.
Of course, Qin Fei walked in the opposite direction. He walked out of the arch and headed straight for the statue. Although it was already late at night, there were still dozens of people in front of the statue who were incense sticking out. It could be seen how devout the people of the Four Sacred Continents were to the statue.
There was no lack of martial practitioners among these people, His expression was extremely respectful. They can still be arrogant and arrogant in front of ordinary people, But when faced with the White Tiger Sacred Idol, That expression was completely sincere and respectful, There was absolutely not the slightest bit of falsehood, According to the Register, Within the Four Sacred Continents, No matter how powerful he was, Even with the power to pierce through the heavens and earth, They were extremely respectful to the totems of the various realms, Once upon a time, there was a super-awesome expert in history, Invincible throughout the world, Arrogant to the extreme, Just thinking about the totem sacred beast was nothing more than that, He was the strongest existence in the world, Hence, an anti-sage heart arose, To destroy the statues everywhere, He had people erect his statue to worship him. As a result, the moment he attacked the first statue, he discovered that he was wrong. The moment he attacked, his body was like an ocean. The power that could destroy a city was gone in the blink of an eye. He had completely turned into an ordinary person and was easily annihilated by his enemies.
From now on, no one dared to do anything disrespectful to the totem statue. To be exact, they didn’t even dare to have the slightest thought. No one dared to disobey the totem statue.
Of course, there are exceptions, Different people from different domains were not included in the destruction of the sacred images from other domains. Because the power within their bodies was not given by the other party, they could destroy them arbitrarily. This also led to constant battles between the four domains. They wanted to destroy the sacred images of the opposing side and let the local people worship their own totems. This caused war to continue and territory to be fought frequently.
Qin Fei was puzzled. The four Monkey King beasts were like brothers. Why did this happen? White Tiger told him that it was also for the good of the people in this region. A comfortable life could not make a person progress. Only crisis could make a person continue to explore and grow.
In response, Qin Fei only had one thought. The Four Monkey King Beasts were simply abnormal beasts. Was it really so fun to have his descendants killed?
He had forgotten that the Four Monkey King Beasts were the ancestors of the beasts, right? Perverts were normal, because their way of thinking was in their nature most of the time. The world of beasts was a world where the weak preyed on the strong. Compared to the human world, it was even more cruel and cruel. This was the law of all living things and could not be changed.
He walked towards the statue, and a man hurriedly rode by, stirring up a gust of wind.
Qin Fei glanced at the rider. Horses were good horses, but they seemed to be tired from running. White saliva came out. The rider was an ordinary person. There was no trace of profound energy. Feng Chen pounced on him. From the looks of it, it seemed that he was dressed in a certain village. He was as anxious as a mother. He did not stop along the way until he reached the arch prescription before stopping to get off the horse and hurriedly leading the horse into the town.
He didn’t care too much. He walked to the queue in front of the statue. There were simply too many people. It seemed like it would be his turn to wait for a while.
At this time, he did not notice that a skinny figure strode through the plaza and entered the arch into the town …
About half an hour later, it was Qin Fei’s turn. After he finished incense, a monstrous aura surged into his body. This was the faith power of tens of thousands of people in Qiushui Town. In the blink of an eye, it forcefully raised him to the ninth level of the Mortal realm.
This was the end of it. There were a large number of cultivators praying here every day, and they would naturally absorb a lot of energy. It was expected that they would be able to obtain such a harvest.
Qin Fei’s expression was very happy. This thing was even more powerful than eating pills. Its strength was thumping!
He thought that there would definitely be a big harvest when he came back tomorrow. In the end, the White Tiger told him straightforwardly that he didn’t need to think about it. At most, the power of a Saint Idol in a town could only help him recover to the Mortal Martial Stage. If he wanted more, he had to continue absorbing it elsewhere. After all, the power of the Saint Idol wasn’t unlimited. Otherwise, there would be countless experts already.
Qin Fei wondered why there was such a restriction, The White Tiger said that he didn’t know. In any case, the Emperor of Qin had set this up before. There wasn’t much to say about having them erect their statues. In any case, this was the truth. After the same person absorbed the power of the statues, he couldn’t obtain a second time. If he didn’t want to change places, he could only cultivate honestly as usual.
Thinking carefully, Qin Fei seemed to have grasped the connection. A man who had just arrived in Trench Village, By praying, he could obtain some of the power of the statue, But if you want it again, it’s impossible, And he had to pray to the statue every day, This way, it would be easier for the people behind to gain power, It was equivalent to passing on power, The relationship between them was really complicated. He couldn’t figure it out for a moment and couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore. Since there were such rules, it meant that the energy of the statue wasn’t omnipotent. Blacksmithing required hard work. Cultivating hard was the right path. The role of the statue was to give people more confidence in their strength. The significance of spiritual symbols was even more important.
After leaving the plaza and returning to the inn through the arch door, Mangzi Three and Xiaosi sighed in sorrow in their rooms. After a while, they were driven back by Hua Jie and Hua Jie, saying that the woman’s house was going to sleep and how far away they were.
Originally, they wanted to chat more, but the result was too disappointing. It seemed that the revolution still needed to work hard.
Qin Fei grabbed the two of them and told them to incense the statue. The purpose was to see what would happen if they prayed to the statue for the first time in Qiushui Town.
Mangzi Three and Xiaosi obeyed him. They quickly went to the statue to pray. Qin Fei observed their strength changes and found that it was only a little bit more than enough to break through to the 2nd level of the Initial Martial Stage. It was just that they were much more energetic and had a bit more strength.
This puzzled them. Why didn’t the power they obtained be as violent as their own?
White Tiger gave the answer, The main purpose of the existence of the statue was to absorb everyone’s faith power and convert it into profound energy. However, not everyone was able to absorb this profound energy. Earlier, the Four Monkey King Beasts had absorbed 99% of their strength to strengthen themselves. The reason why Qin Fei was able to absorb a large amount of it was naturally because of the Four Monkey King Beasts in his body.
The most important purpose was to create spiritual connections with people through stone statues, so that they could grasp every movement and even every thought. Because of their spiritual connection with the Holy Beasts, the Holy Beasts could withdraw their strength at any time, making it impossible for others to recover.
To put it bluntly, it had the same effect as the Blood Profound Contract to control the people. It was vicious, dirty, and despicable. Qin Fei scolded the four Monkey King Beasts. White Tiger chuckled and said, “If it wasn’t for this, how could Qin Fei have a chance to recover his abilities?”
Originally, his strength had already been sealed by the Netherworld Demon Emperor. It was precisely because of this relationship that he gradually unsealed the seal.
Qin Fei’s mind flashed. Could it be that the Emperor of Qin had expected such a day?
Heavens, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. He didn’t dare to think deeper, so he quickly dismissed this thought.
