Chapter 478 (2)
The oaths they had sworn just now had already been sensed by the will of the Heavenly Dao.
In the future, if they were to violate the prohibitions inscribed on the Holy Stele, not only would they suffer backlash, but even their sects would experience a drastic decline in fortune.
Realizing this, all the representatives of the various sects and factions ca to understand the true purpose of this Holy Assembly convened by Sacred Mountain.
With the changing heavens and earth, the revival of spiritual energy, and the evolution of the Heaven and Earth’s Order, oaths sworn with one's mind and spirit had beco more binding than ever before.
Having sworn before the Holy Stele, if they wished to avoid divine retribution and the decline of their sects' fortunes, they not only had to abide by the decree themselves but also ensure their disciples and followers adhered to it as well.
At this point, the true goal of Sacred Mountain had been achieved.
The representatives of the various sects and factions exchanged looks, realizing that they had ultimately been outmaneuvered.
Fortunately, the decree was one that had been collectively discussed and agreed upon.
Overall, the restrictions imposed on cultivators were not too severe.
Most crucially, it forbade cultivators from wantonly slaughtering ordinary mortals.
For those on the righteous path, this was not a difficult rule to follow.
As for conflicts between cultivators, disputes among sects, and internal affairs, Sacred Mountain had no intention of interfering.
Thus, as long as they refrained from indiscriminately harming mortals, the decree would have little impact on their sects.
In fact, so of the weaker sects secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the very least, this decree would enforce so level of discipline.
They would no longer have to constantly fear being ambushed and annihilated by stronger sects.
With this perspective, the convening of the Holy Assembly could indeed be considered a great boon to them.
Just as the representatives of the sects were deep in thought, the sky above suddenly changed once more.
Beams of golden light descended from the heavens.
Among them, three streaks of golden light landed upon the Three Holy Lords.
anwhile, a much larger and more radiant golden light surged toward Sacred Mountain, disappearing into the secluded cave where Lu Qing was in closed-door cultivation.
"rit Light!"
The sudden and dramatic change naturally caught everyone's attention.
Among them, so well-versed cultivators imdiately recognized the golden light that had enveloped the Three Holy Lords.
It was none other than the legendary Light of rit, a divine radiance that could only be condensed by those who had accumulated vast amounts of rit!
"Such a dense Light of rit!"
"For it to descend at this mont…!"
"The descent of rit Light signifies that the will of the Heavenly Dao has acknowledged the contributions of the Three Holy Lords in convening this Holy Assembly!"
"It is said that those who possess the Light of rit are blessed by the heavens, able to avoid calamities and attract fortune. With such abundant rit Light, the cultivation path of the Three Holy Lords will surely be much smoother in the future!"
…
The gathered cultivators murmured amongst themselves, their eyes brimming with envy as they gazed at the Three Holy Lords, who were now bathed in the golden radiance.
Although most had never personally witnessed the Light of rit before, they had heard many legends about it.
It was said that those who bore the Light of rit were individuals of great virtue, naturally protected by the heavens.
For ordinary people, possessing the Light of rit granted them extraordinary luck, allowing them to avert disasters and enjoy longevity.
For cultivators, it ant an unparalleled flow of fortune, an effortless cultivation path, and endless opportunities.
Simply put, the benefits were imasurable!
However, despite its many advantages, Light of rit was exceedingly difficult to obtain.
Even those who spent their entire lives performing acts of great kindness might not be able to condense even a sliver of this divine light.
Only those who had truly enacted deeds that greatly benefited the world and aligned with the will of the Heavenly Dao had a chance to accumulate rit Light.
Thus, seeing the Three Holy Lords receive such an overwhelming amount of rit Light, how could the gathered cultivators not feel jealous?
Yet, no matter how envious they were, they could do nothing but watch.
This Holy Assembly had been initiated and presided over by the Three Holy Lords.
Clearly, the will of the Heavenly Dao deed that the rit of this event belonged to them.
Since this was a decision acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao, no amount of jealousy could change it.
Moreover, the Three Holy Lords were not even the ones who had received the greatest amount of rit.
Monts ago, they had all witnessed a much larger and denser beam of rit Light surge toward Sacred Mountain.
It was undoubtedly ant for Lu Qing.
Thus, even if they were discontent, they dared not voice their complaints.
"This… is the Light of rit?"
Even the Three Holy Lords were montarily stunned by the sudden descent of the Light of rit.
Their primary reason for convening the Holy Assembly had been to fulfill their grand oaths.
They had only sought peace of mind and a breakthrough in cultivation; they had no other motives.
Yet, to their shock, this event had resonated with the Heavenly Dao, prompting the descent of the Light of rit.
Joy and excitent filled their hearts.
The heavens had acknowledged their actions!
For them, this was the greatest form of encouragent.
anwhile, within his cave on Sacred Mountain, Lu Qing, who had been in closed-door cultivation, was also awakened by the surge of rit Light that descended upon him.
Releasing his Divine Sense, he took a dozen breaths to fully grasp the situation.
"So, the Holy Assembly has concluded, and the Holy Decree has been established with the consensus of the major sects?"
"I hadn’t expected the decree to resonate with the will of the Heavenly Dao and draw down the Light of rit…"
"It seems I made the right choice in siding with the Three Holy Lords."
A faint smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face as he absorbed the rit Light, which flowed into the Brow Acupoint at the center of his forehead.
The rit Light he had received this ti was far more abundant than what he had obtained in the past—when he had defeated demonic cultivators and saved an entire city of mortals.
It was more than ten tis greater!
Clearly, the Heavenly Dao regarded the establishnt of the Holy Decree as a trendous benefit to the world.
"With this, I finally have hope of condensing the Celestial Garnt of rit."
Feeling the surge of rit Light, Lu Qing was genuinely pleased.
Previously, he had obtained two cultivation techniques related to the Light of rit from a demonic cultivator.
One of them allowed him to condense a Garnt of rit, which, at a critical mont, could automatically protect its wearer from spiritual attacks, curses, and divine soul techniques.
The strength of this Garnt of rit depended on the concentration of rit Light used to refine it.
It was classified into three levels: Garnt of rit, Celestial Garnt of rit, and the ultimate Heavenly Garnt of rit.
It was said that once the Heavenly Garnt of rit was fully ford, it could repel all evils and render the wearer impervious to all techniques!
Even primordial-level demon lords would hesitate to confront such protection.
Of course, the Heavenly Garnt of rit required an astronomical amount of rit Light, almost impossible to accumulate.
Still, while that goal remained unattainable, the Celestial Garnt of rit was now within his reach, thanks to this blessing from the Heavenly Dao.
