As soon as Su Chen stepped into the Courtyard of Holy Light, he sensed the uniqueness of this place.
First of all, although the Courtyard of Holy Light was a floating island, its gravity was extremely high. Although it did not affect him, he estimated that he would need to be at least in the Heaven Ascension realm to be able to stand firmly here. Those below the Saint realm would not even be able to come, as they would be crushed by the gravity.
Secondly, the spiritual qi here was very dense, so dense that there was nothing else but spiritual qi.
However, it was not quite the same as the spiritual qi that one would normally see. The spiritual qi here was very dirty, but the traces of human intervention were very obvious. It was as if someone had deliberately modified the souls here to be unsuitable for direct absorption, deliberately increasing the difficulty and creating obstacles for the practitioners here.
In addition, Su Chen also sensed that in addition to spiritual qi, there was another energy fluctuation that was everywhere.
This energy fluctuation was very obscure and very mysterious. It was very similar to the energy fluctuation of the Saint realm, but it was purer and had no distinction of attributes. It was like a force field that had existed since the beginning of the world, a manifestation of the established rules of the world that could not be changed.
Heavenly Dao law?
Su Chen remembered that he had sensed a similar power from Ma Yuanhao's body.
It was most likely the Heavenly Dao law.
Su Chen guessed that the Heavenly Dao law was, in essence, a Saint realm. However, it was different from the realm opened up by ordinary Saints. The Heavenly Dao law was built on the foundation of Righteous Dao law.
So... the entire Courtyard of Holy Light was enveloped in someone's Heavenly Dao law domain?
"Young friend Su, you guessed right. The dean of the Courtyard of Holy Light is Archbishop Yi Nian, who is also an Archbishop of Holy Light like me. His study and comprehension of Dao law is absolutely one of the best in the Three Purities Sect. At the same time, he is also a ninth-grade Immortal Talisman Master like you. Everything in this Courtyard of Holy Light was personally created by Archbishop Yi Nian," Zhou Chuanhuo said.
It was only now that Su Chen understood. No wonder he could sense some extremely concealed fluctuations of Divine Inscriptions. This Courtyard of Sacred Light was definitely enveloped by countless formations, and even Su Chen couldn't see through them. Clearly, the other party's attainment in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions wasn't inferior to his own.
"Since we're already here, let's pay a visit to Archbishop Yi Nian first," Su Chen said.
"Alright."
Zhou Chuanhuo nodded and was about to lead the way when he suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from the front. It seemed that something had happened.
Su Chen was curious and decided to check it out first.
At this moment, Athena frowned and followed closely behind Su Chen, whispering, "Master, be careful. There's the smell of blood."
Su Chen paused, nodded slightly, and continued forward.
The layout of the Courtyard of Holy Light resembled that of a small island town. The buildings were all arranged in a ring. They were currently at the bottom of the Transmission Tower in the inner ring of the courtyard. In front of them was a bustling street that resembled a commercial street. Although the scale was not large, there were many people coming and going. There were about a hundred people.
Based on the overall scale of the courtyard, a street with over a hundred people could be considered bustling and lively.
At this time, many people were gathering towards a blue and white building. It was a small two-story building with a round roof. It looked like a small restaurant, but everyone had gathered in front of the restaurant. There were so many people inside and outside that not even a drop of water could pass through.
At this time, someone noticed Su Chen and the others. At first, he was stunned, but then he quickly bowed and went forward, "Greetings, Archbishop Fire Relayer."
The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of the people around. Although not everyone knew Zhou Chuanhuo, the influence of the Archbishop of Holy Light was unparalleled in the Sanqing Sect. Many of the Sanqing Sect's members bowed and paid their respects.
Zhou Chuanhuo asked, "What happened? Why are you gathered here?"
"Reporting to the Archbishop, a demonic beast fell from the sky just now and died," someone said.
Demonic beast?
Zhou Chuanhuo's eyes flashed and immediately went forward to check. Su Chen also followed.
Sure enough, there was a small demonic beast lying on the ground. The force of the fall was so heavy that the ground was cracked. All the bones in the demonic beast's body were shattered, and it was bleeding from all seven orifices. It looked terrible and was completely dead.
"Where did this demonic beast come from?" Zhou Chuanhuo asked.
"Archbishop, I guess it sneaked in. Pets are not allowed in the courtyard, and this place is full of righteousness. It is difficult for evil creatures to survive here."
"Archbishop, is this strange situation an ominous sign?
Please enlighten us, Archbishop. "
"The Courtyard of Holy Light is a paradise of the Sanqing Sect. It has never been contaminated with any dirty things. There has not been a bloody incident for thousands of years. Now, the Nirvana Tribulation is coming. Is this a warning from the Heavenly Axiom?"
A group of followers asked Zhou Chuanhuo at once. It was obvious that Zhou Chuanhuo had a high prestige among the followers.
Zhou Chuanhuo smiled slightly, "The order of the world is reasonable, but you must not make wild guesses. If it is really the will of the Heavens, it is not a warning, but an inevitability. The Sanqing Sect exists in the world, and its duty is to guard the peace of the Immortal Cultivation World. You must do your duty well and do not waver."
"Archbishop, you are right."
"I have benefited a lot from your teachings. It is like being supported by an immortal. The fog in my heart suddenly dispersed."
"Archbishop …"
Hearing the words of these followers, Su Chen felt that it was an eye-opener.
You are too good at bootlicking.
After a long delay, Zhou Chuanhuo finally finished dealing with these followers. He led Su Chen and the other two to the center of the courtyard, the Temple of Holy Light.
The Holy Light Taoist Temple was very different from what Su Chen had imagined. It did not look like a Taoist temple in the secular world at all. It was more like a Taoist school. It was extremely large, occupying almost two-thirds of the entire courtyard. The environment inside was intricate, but the atmosphere was very good. There were lively and high-spirited faces everywhere.
The followers who could enter the Temple of Holy Light were basically the elite geniuses carefully selected from all over the world.
When they arrived, Su Chen and Athena did not have any reaction, but Se Yuan was like a village girl who had entered the Grand View Garden. She was very surprised and said with envy, "These people are so powerful. I know every word they say, but I can't understand them at all when they are connected. It seems very profound."
"Miss Yuan, are you interested in this place?
I can recommend you to enter the Temple of Holy Light for further study. With your talent, you should be able to learn something in less than three years. "
Zhou Chuanhuo said. He had observed Se Yuan along the way. Although this girl was a piece of jade, the brilliance contained within was difficult to hide. She was definitely a good seedling. If he could recommend her to join the Sanqing Sect, it would be a good karma.
"Me?"
Se Yuan was shocked and quickly waved her hand, "I'd better not. I am so stupid and only know how to eat. I'd better not embarrass the Archbishop."
