In a blink of an eye, more than six hours had passed.
Smoke Eye was efficient in her reading. Essentially, she was not learning the Divine Art, but rather morizing the ways in which the corresponding Divine Art’s power operates. Then, she could simulate and implent it using her illusionary skills.
In six hours, she had read more than two hundred basic teachings on the first floor of the Sanctuary.
She had also read quite a few volus on the second floor, and so on the third.
If Li Jing hadn’t thought it was enough, she might have read even more.
So ti prior, Li Jing had already put on golden-colored lenses, dyeing his black hair gold.
He summoned back Smoke Eye and utilized Silent Shadow to leave the Little Universe.
The outside world.
The night had already fallen.
The Sanctuary was stolen from Levake Port’s Sacred Temple, enraging everyone. They searched everywhere obsessively.
Although it had been six hours since the incident, they were still completely clueless. Everyone knew that it was highly unlikely to uncover any clues at this point, but they maintained the effort for appearances’ sake.
Even though there was soone to bla, they couldn’t show that they were completely without pressure.
If nothing else, they had to at least make an effort in front of Saintess Wina.
When Li Jing returned to Heavenly Saint Land, there were not many people left where the Sanctuary had been. Only a group of Temple Knights were left to guard the ’cri scene.’
After all, after the mysterious disappearance of the Sanctuary, this area was completely empty. There was no point in leaving too many people around an empty spot.
Nobody would think that Li Jing, the "thief" who had taken the Sanctuary, would reappear at the original location.
Of course.
Even if soone thought of it, even if Saintess Wina were present in person, she would not be able to detect Li Jing’s return.
When she had sensed him at the port before, it was because he had been using the Eye of True Vision to examine her entity, causing her to feel it - not because she was unaffected by Silent Shadow.
Her entity, dormant within her body and yet to awaken, only had a cultivation level equivalent to the early stage of the Eighth Realm.
This was sothing Li Jing had speculated.
But he was not certain.
Because of this, he didn’t rush to co out of the Little Universe to observe the situation. Only when Smoke Eye had recorded a sufficient number of Divine Arts did he choose to return to the Heavenly Saint Land.
Upon his return, seeing that only a small group of Temple Knights were on duty at Levake Port’s Sacred Temple, Li Jing quickly left without drawing attention and headed to the port streets.
His powerful Primordial Spirit sensed that Saintess Wina was not in the Sacred Temple, but amongst the fleet docked in the port.
Not just that.
There were even more people assembled in the fleet than when they docked earlier.
It seed that the loss of the Holy Relic did not affect Wina’s journey.
In a short while, she would set sail again to Jastin Port to et the rest of the Holy See and the Church, who were preparing to move to the Sea of Death.
When he reached the port streets, Li Jing saw that apart from the red-eyed mbers of the Holy See who were conducting investigations across the streets, a large number of people from the Supre Court were gathering at the seaport.
Pausing on the street and pondering for a bit, Li Jing found a clothing store on the side of Levake port. He used Spirit God’s whispers to knock out the store owner and grabbed two robes that only the believers of the Sacred Temple wear during worship.
He was not trying to impersonate anyone, but to blend into the Church.
There was no need to find the Church mbers’ standard "uniform", nor was there a need to wear the usual trousers with boots and cloaks that commoners on the West Continent wear.
After changing into the robe, Li Jing bypassed the exit of the port, transford into a lightning bolt and went far enough off the coast to reveal his figure by stopping the Silent Shadow.
Standing in the air and looking at the port where the fleet was docked, Li Jing used his powerful Primordial Spirit to monitor the fleet while communicating spiritually with Smoke Eye within his body.
Divine Art, he doesn’t need to deliberately learn.
But for this task, he still needs to cram temporarily.
At least, he needs to know what Smoke Eye has learned and what usage it has.
After so communication, Li Jing let Smoke Eye use her illusionary skills to transform the Spiritual Power inside him into the Holy Power needed to perform Divine Art.
It was rather coincidental.
Just as the power within him had transford, the fleet docked at Levake Port began to stir, setting sail one after another toward the Outer Sea.
Sensing the movent of the fleet, a smile crept onto Li Jing’s face.
It was ti for the show.
With hands clasped in prayer, Li Jing murmured.
"God said, let there be light."
His soft words echoed over the surrounding sea area, supported by his powerful Holy Power that corresponded to the late stage of the Eighth Realm. Everyone on the fleet that had just set sail from Levake Port heard his words.
The ship that the Saintess Wina was on belonged to the Present Supre Church.
Not that she favored the Present Supre Church.
But a modern ship from the present world was much more comfortable to be on.
Not only was Saintess Wina on this ship, but also major figures from the Levake Sacred Temple.
Li Jing’s murmurs continued to reverberate, causing the expressions of these major figures to change slightly.
The next second.
A massive beam of light that connected heaven and earth descended from the sky, landing on Li Jing’s position and releasing an incredibly strong holy aroma.
Seeing such a scene, everyone on the fleet, including Saintess Wina, was taken aback.
"Veritacular Skill!? This intensity..."
The bishop of the Sacred Temple, who was acting like a sycophant near Saintess Wina, was completely shocked.
Before his words fell, another bishop, who was also a sycophant nearby, spoke in a low voice.
"He is a master, even stronger than the Saintess..."
These two bishops were quite powerful.
Among the entire fleet, apart from Saintess Wina, who was ostensibly at the early stage of the Eighth Realm, they were the strongest.
But in reality, they were both at the late stage of the Seventh Realm.
Their assessnt of Li Jing’s power imdiately sparked discussions among the others on the ship.
Saintess Wina knitted her brows.
There were many strong individuals at the Eighth Realm in the Supre Church.
But there were very few who were in the late stage of the Eighth Realm and were just a step away from the Ninth Realm.
Now, for the Death Sea, the church has gathered a group of top Eighth Realm warriors at Jastin Port, but there is no proper late stage of the Eighth Realm.
After all, for the Supre Church, the late stage of the Eighth Realm is a top combat power that they can’t afford to sacrifice. They should not go to the Death Sea.
Why did one pop out of nowhere now?
Wina’s expression was serious.
Under such circumstances, she had to be cautious.
Although she as the ssenger of the God’s Descent did not deliberately conceal her identity, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had not contacted the genuinely high-ranking individuals of the Supre Church.
Except for contact with her group of people, the real heavyweights of the church had never t her in person.
They know their own affairs.
It’s true that the Supre Church worships its Main God, and every believer would treat her as if they were seeing the Supre God himself.
But even the Supre God’s presence can’t guarantee that the church, corroded by power for so many years, won’t have so strong existences harboring improper thoughts due to her true identity.
In other planes of faith, similar things have happened not just once or twice.
In fact.
Nine out of ten tis the ssenger of the God’s Descent was blasphed against, it was "their own people" who did it.
If the man before her had contacted the core of the church after seeing her and is from the church with certain goals, he could pose a threat to her.
A re late stage of the Eighth Realm could not slander her.
But if she was unguarded and the man was very capable, she couldn’t be sure she wouldn’t be overthrown.
Just as Wina began to feel suspicious, space shattered where the pillar of light had descended in the distance.
Upon witnessing this spectacle from afar, the complexion of everyone in the fleet changed again.
The Broken Void!
This damn...
Even the Pope can’t do that!
Wina’s face turned pale.
The authority of space.
Authority, in fact, is rely another word for the rules.
Although it’s called differently in the East and West, it essentially carries the sa aning.
It should be a power that only those who have reached the Ninth Realm could wield. How could Wina not turn pale when it’s being controlled by soone in the late stages of the Eighth Realm?
This kind of capability should not possess by a person from the Heavenly Saint Land.
The authority of space is extremly special to the Supre God System and its affiliated systems, only the Supre God himself and his direct line subordinate gods have the opportunity to control it.
All other Main Gods have no chance of wielding it.
Occasionally, so believers may explode in character and control the authority of space, gaining the favour of the Supre God himself, but that’s sothing that happens after the Ninth Realm.
This...
Who exactly is the person coming!?
Wina was filled with doubts.
At this mont, a figure arrived from far away, breaking space several tis and teleporting over in a blink of an eye.
In the ti that it took for Wina to be startled, the person had already arrived in front of her.
With the newcor close at hand, the hair all over Wina’s body stood on end.
Although she is not a direct line of the Supre God, she is very clear about how terrifying this kind of authority is...
Li Jing, who had co on board with a big wave, stood in front of Wina, looking sowhat baffled as he saw her pale face.
Of course, in order to get close to Wina successfully, he needed to show as much strength as possible.
As a result, he didn’t hesitate to use the Veritacular Skill of the late stage of the Eighth Realm standard to create a Holy Light effect that illumined the world, and moreover, he also used the rules of space.
It seed that his theatrics had been a bit too much?
Wina, who should have been aloof, was in a state of shock. Li Jing, to be honest, was sowhat caught off guard.
He didn’t expect people to be frightened by him.
Looking at the silent ships one by one, whether they belonged to the Holy See or the church, they all were looking at him with terrified hearts. Li Jing was internally disordered, but his external appearance remained calm, he clasped his hands together in a prayer posture and saluted Wina.
"May the brilliance of the Supre God bewitch you."
Seeing the salute, Wina hesitated and then subconsciously returned it.
"May the brilliance of the Supre God protect you."
Li Jing grinned, revealing a friendly smile.
"I didn’t expect the ssenger of the God’s Descent to be of mixed Eastern and Western descent, like myself. This makes our conversation a lot more convenient."
As he said this, he looked around and his eyes fell on Wina.
"My na is Arthur, a believer of the Supre God. The reason for my presumptuous arrival is because I received a divine revelation and am here to assist the God Envoy."
As soon as he said this, not only was Wina stunned, but everyone else present was also in a daze.
Divine revelation?
He said...
He received a Divine Revelation!?
The divine revelation ntioned by the mbers of the Holy See and the church mostly ends up being nonsense.
But divine revelations do exist in reality.
However, the Supre God System rarely releases them, perhaps only once in several hundred or even a thousand years during so special periods.
Being able to receive a divine revelation.
So, this person is...
A Saint!
Faced with this, the people on the scene, regardless of whether they belonged to the Holy See or the Present Supre Church, were filled with respect.
Wina herself dared not delay.
Others might not care, but she had to.
The divine revelation ntioned by Li Jing cos from the Supre God himself.
How could she dare to be negligent about this?
Li Jing’s appearance, although it raised many doubts in her heart, and the event in the Sea of Death also had no reason to alarm the Supre God himself, she had to handle it seriously when faced with the person right in front of her.
Most importantly, the authority that Li Jing was controlling was the authority of space.
If it were any other authority, Wina might have so doubts.
Isn’t it completely reasonable for the Supre God himself to interfere, designate a saint by divine revelation, and temporarily grant him the ability to use space omnipotence through divine revelation?
Without taking the ti to think, Wina saluted politely and bent over to say.
"Your journey has been strenuous, Saint. I wonder if the Holy One has any instructions?"
During the period of Smoke Eye learning Divine Art, Li Jing was not entirely idle, having done a lot of howork.
The Supre God System.
From the Main God, God Envoy to the believers, which one of them is not a role that deceives people’s livelihood?
If he wanted to deceive them, he certainly had to do enough howork.
That’s why he pointed out that he had received a divine revelation from the Supre God himself.
At the mont, he was clearly successful in deceiving Wina, but he was a little baffled.
He didn’t know that the authority of space was a special authority unique to the Supre God. Under the Eastern Orthodox Immortal Path system, although the rule of space is a bit special, those who have the opportunity to control the only rule can naturally control it.
Now, Wina changed her lofty attitude and beca more humble in front of him, which confused Li Jing.
He only ntioned a divine revelation. Was it worth it?
Despite his bafflent, Li Jing smiled.
"The Holy One only revealed that I should assist the God Envoy, and did not ntion anything else. Until a new revelation arrives, you are in charge of this trip."
Li Jing handled this carefully.
Through studying the scriptures related to the Supre Court, he knew that there were many Main Gods in the Supre God System.
Wina’s performance in front of him allowed him to easily see that she was not a direct line of the Supre God.
This was the best way to leave a sense of suspense.
The Supre God only asked to assist you for the ti being and didn’t say what the purpose was, but that doesn’t an a new revelation won’t co in the future.
Wina had been successfully deceived by Li Jing.
Upon hearing his words, she didn’t doubt him and gently nodded.
"In that case, I’ll have to trouble the Saint to assist on this trip."
With that, she hesitated for a mont, then said.
"To be honest with the Saint, I encountered so troubles on this trip. The Holy Relic crucial for entering the Sea of Death has been lost by mistake, I’m afraid this trip will not go smoothly. However, based on my guess, the person who stole the Holy Relic will eventually appear in the Sea of Death, where we might be able to take back the Holy Relic."
Li Jing nodded upon hearing this.
"Without the Holy Relic, things will indeed be a bit difficult. However, as long as you have a plan in mind, I’ll assist you if necessary."
With that, he smiled.
"It’s rather windy on the deck. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to join in the cabin to talk? I have a few things I’d like to discuss with you."
