Chapter 108: The Majesty of the Spirit Temple

  The Lingdian is a transcendent existence on the mainland, superior to the imperial power, royal power and legal system of various countries. The Lingdian of Muhua Country was built in a satellite city next to its capital, less than 50 kilometers away from the capital. This satellite city was built around the Lingdian with grandeur and splendor. Not only is the scenery inside beautiful, but there are also two battalions of soldiers stationed nearby for guarding and security purposes.

  Of course, these settings are not required by the Ling tribe, but are deliberately catered to by the country applying for the construction of the Ling Temple. Inside the Ling Temple, there are Ling Temple warriors who are recruited by the Ling tribe. Only the master of each temple is dispatched by the Ling tribe and can contact the Ling tribe through secret methods.

  King Zhao led the cavalry to escort Guo Fei to the Ling Temple of Muhua State, passing through Weiguo and entering Muhua State from the south. Along the way, they did not encounter any obstacles. On the mainland, there is an unwritten rule that anyone who makes offerings to the Ling Temple will not be obstructed by any force, as obstruction would mean going against the Ling clan. Therefore, King Zhao used the banner of making offerings and the group arrived at the Ling Temple of Muhua State without any hindrance.

  The master of the Ling Temple in Muhua Country was a middle-aged man around 40 years old. Due to his limited talent and being a collateral descendant of the Jiang family, he was sent by the Jiang family of the spiritual tribe to serve as the temple master for many years. With a comfortable position and few worries, he became lazy in his cultivation and grew fat. Moreover, this person had a strong fondness for women, and Muhua Country and several surrounding countries were well aware of his preference. Beautiful women were constantly being sent to his chambers, making him a new groom every night, with more than one woman visiting him each evening.

  After meeting with King Zhao, his face was swollen and he received him with sleepy eyes. His face still showed a hint of impatience.

  "What? You've obtained a Golden Body Dark Cultivator!" As soon as he heard Zhao Wang's words, he was shocked and his drowsiness dissipated by half. He sprang up with a start.

  "Your Excellency, the young king has obtained a golden-bodied dark cultivator and had him escorted here from Zhao State overnight. Please inspect him." The King of Zhao forced himself to conceal his disgust towards the person in front of him, bowing and smiling obsequiously.

  "Bring it in immediately!" The man's face showed extreme excitement, and he secretly exclaimed that he was lucky. If he could really offer this dual-attribute soul body cultivator, he might be able to change his position. If he could become the master of the Spirit Temple in the Great Empire, what a magnificent thing it would be!

  Zhao Wang personally escorted Guo Fei to the Spirit Temple, which was a vast and sprawling complex that resembled a grand hall but was actually a series of interconnected buildings, pavilions, and gardens, with flowing water features that gave the entire temple a serene and idyllic atmosphere.

  Guo Fei followed the guards into a grand hall.

  "Put your hand on top and sink your spirit into it!" The master of the Spirit Temple took out a soul-measuring crystal ball, letting Guo Fei measure his soul.

  Guo Fei knew that resistance was still futile, so he did as he was told.

  As a golden light flashed by, a black mist appeared again, and a black halo burst out. The master of the Spirit Temple's eyeballs were about to pop out, his lips trembling involuntarily.

  "Haha. Zhao Wang, you've achieved a great merit this time. I'll immediately report to the master of the house, and I believe that when the master hears this news, he will be overjoyed." The master of the Ling Temple said with a big laugh.

  "Thank you, Lord Temple Master, for your kind words. As for the matter of building the Ling Temple in our Zhao State, would you please mention it to the Patriarch? I, Xiao Wang, will be eternally grateful." King Zhao bowed and paid his respects.

  "This time you've made a significant contribution, I'll put in a good word for you with the master of the house, and it should be possible. Last time you handed over the spirit stones in full, Young Master Huan has a pretty good impression of your Zhao country, as long as you all make a bit more effort, the matter of establishing the Spirit Temple is almost certain."

  "Thanks to your patronage, as long as I can establish the Spirit Temple, King Zhao will definitely thank you deeply." King Zhao's face showed excitement.

  "Hmm, since that's the case, you'll hand this person over to our Temple of Spirit warriors. Go back and wait for good news!" The master of the Temple of Spirit glanced at Guo Fei, who was cold and uncommunicative, and saw that he was only a Qi Cultivator-level warrior, then sneered coldly.

  "Master of the palace, you must take good care of him and don't let him escape." King Zhao said with a somewhat worried tone.

  "Haha. What a joke! Our Lingdian may not be prosperous, but we have 200 guardian warriors. If even a small, inexperienced martial artist can't be taken care of, then our Lingdian might as well be dismantled." The hall master's face changed upon hearing this.

  "The lord of the manor has misunderstood, Xiao Wang didn't mean it that way. Since that's the case, I'll return to Zhao Guo and wait for good news." The king of Zhao silently scolded himself for speaking too much and turned to leave.

  Guo Fei watched this scene, his heart filled with extreme astonishment. With Zhao Tianyu's cultivation, a small thumb could crush the short and stout middle-aged man in front of him to death, but he was so humble and fawning, which showed how formidable the Ling tribe's Jiang family was.

  "Lock him up and take him to the dungeon!" Although the master of the Spiritual Temple looked down on Guo Fei, he didn't dare to be negligent. He still ordered the temple warriors to tie Guo Fei up with five flowers and took him to the dungeon, locking him up inside.

  As Guo Fei was taken away, the master of Lingdian Hall got up and entered a small room, pulled out a secret box, took out a jade token in his hand, the jade token flashed, turned into a bright light shot on the crystal ball in front of him, the crystal ball flashed, and a figure appeared.

  "Muhua Guo Fen Dian. What matter do you have to report?"

  "Your Excellency, I am the Master of the Ling Temple of Muhua Country. Just now, Zhao Country sent a cultivator with dual souls and a golden body of darkness. I have come to report specifically to Your Excellency, please make a decision."

  "It's certain!" The figure on the crystal ball flashed and seemed to stand up in an instant.

  "Reporting to the Grand Master, I have already used our Ling Temple's Soul Measuring Crystal to test him earlier. He is indeed a dual-soul cultivator with a Golden Body and Dark Body. I have bound and imprisoned him in the underground chamber. Please decide his fate, sir."

  "Good, good, good." The man repeatedly said "good", then furrowed his brow and said in a low voice: "Watch the prisoner carefully, don't let him take his own life. I'll go report to the master and see how he decides." With that, the man stood up and left.

  In the northern wilderness, on a snow-capped mountain of over 10,000 feet, there seemed to be a faint glow emanating from it, as if a layer of light was enveloping it. Suddenly, a middle-aged man riding a thunder leopard appeared out of nowhere and galloped towards the place where the glow was flashing. This person was none other than the General Manager.

  "What's going on!" This man rode a Thunder Leopard and stood in mid-air, without even touching the light shield, and immediately transmitted a stern voice.

  "Reporting to the master! A dual-soul cultivator with a Golden Core and Dark Body has been discovered in the Wooden Flower Palace and is now being held in the Spirit Hall. I have come to report this specifically to the master, please make a decision."

  "Is the Golden Body of the Dual Soul Cultivator confirmed?" Inside the light curtain, a small palace seemed to be suspended in mid-air. In the palace, an old man in his fifties or sixties sat cross-legged, looking like an ordinary farmer from the countryside. However, between the flashes of his eyes, there were hints of electric lights flickering, which was quite frightening. Upon hearing the report, the old man's calm face moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

  "Reporting to the master of the house, the lord of the Mukua National Spirit Temple personally tested his attributes and it should be true."

  "Thus, Yan'er can finally ascend to the Grand Dao. Quickly dispatch someone to escort her back and ask the Great Priest to perform the Soul Awakening Technique for Yan'er's heavenly soul."

  "Yes. Master of the house, I will go and make arrangements!" The steward bowed and replied, then retreated and left.

  "Hold on, bring a few Leopards Riders along, to ensure nothing goes wrong." A reminder came from behind the steward.
