At the very moment the statue began to move, Chen Mo detected a powerful wave of energy fluctuation. He turned his head towards the direction of the main hall, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"So you were hiding here? It seems I overlooked the obvious."
He hadn’t expected that Yin Tiankou’s true form was hidden within the statue of the True Martial God, openly accepting the worship of the people.
Boom—
Boom—
The colossal blue stone statue, over a dozen meters high, bent down and walked slowly out from the main hall. Each step of its immensely heavy body caused the ground to shake violently, casting a gigantic shadow over the entire plaza.
The crowd looked up at the towering presence, their faces filled with fervor and awe.
"Divine Monarch..."
On the altar, the old Daoist was visibly moved, tears flowing down his face as he bowed prostrate to the giant statue.
"Welcome, Divine Monarch to the world!"
He had held out in this Daoist temple for half his life, never expecting to witness such a divine miracle one day!
"Welcome, Divine Monarch!"
"Welcome, Divine Monarch!"
The devotees also knelt to the ground, raising their hands high, their calls of pious reverence echoing together above the temple.
An invisible wave of energy dispersed from their brows, wrapped in the green smoke from the incense burner, rising towards the statue.
The "True Martial God" inhaled deeply, the smoke swirling into its nostrils, and it squinted its eyes in pleasure, its expression becoming increasingly lively.
However, the emotions of the devotees seemed to have been stripped away, leaving them standing blankly, muttering:
"Welcome... Divine Monarch... Welcome... Divine Monarch..."
"The magic technique of Purple Cloud Temple is indeed mystical; it can refine the emotions and desires of all beings to enhance oneself, making the fusion of my divine soul and physical form even more complete..."
"Good, very good, hahahaha!"
Yin Tiankou laughed aloud, his voice deafening and full of delight.
Originally, he had been in seclusion in the vast mountains, arduously cultivating, comprehending the Great Dao, and was just one step away from the complete mastery of Gu Dao. As long as he refined the holy-grade Gu Worm "Yin Extremity Gu", he might even glimpse that Ultimate Realm!
But unfortunately, fate was not kind. Just after coming out of seclusion, he learned that the plan in Linyang County had collapsed, and the Gu Worm refinement had failed.
Soon after, court forces came, flattening major mountain sects, and tens of thousands of followers were entirely wiped out.
And he himself, while being pursued by Zhong Lihe, accidentally encountered the Blood Demon’s self-destruction, and a sea of blood formed by Evil Qi engulfed him instantly!
If not for his quick reflexes, hiding his Divine Sense in the Blood Evil Gu beforehand, he would’ve perished!
Even so, his divine soul was severely injured, his physical body destroyed, his Primordial Qi gravely depleted, and years of arduous cultivation reduced to naught!
He thought his path to immortality was cut off and he would never rise again, never imagining that a mysterious man would suddenly find him, not only helping him reestablish a base and gather followers but also bringing him to this Purple Cloud Temple.
Though Purple Cloud Temple isn’t a top sect, its cultivation technique "Purple Cloud Heart Scripture" is quite extraordinary, able to use all beings’ emotions as a guide to enhance oneself, refining heart and transforming spirit!
