Different from branch churches, the headquarters of Tianling Sect is located in the bustling area of the city center. It occupies a large area of land in this golden area and surrounds the monastery and church with towering walls.
If such a good place were replaced by other churches, they would definitely use it as a money-making treasure. However, the Tianling Sect, which pursues escapist practice, rarely receives outsiders, let alone opens it to the outside world, making it lively outside the walls of the headquarters, and inside the walls.
It's deserted inside, forming a unique landscape in the bustling city center.
When Link and others arrived at the headquarters of the Tianling Sect, Priest Sunny was already waiting there with several nuns. When they saw Link and others, they greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, Archbishop Neil, thank you for your hard work on the road. Please
Come in, the elders have been waiting for a long time."
Link nodded and got out of the carriage, and Lingmeng and Aria also walked down after him. When they saw Lingmeng, several members of the Celestial Spirit Cult respectfully shouted to meet the high priest, but Lingmeng himself didn't feel cold.
, there was no response at all, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.
However, the Tianling Cult members were obviously used to Lingmeng's indifference and did not take it seriously. They immediately welcomed Link and others in.
Like the branch church in Qinke Town, the headquarters building of the Tianling Sect is also insulated from the word gorgeous and is full of simplicity and mystery, giving people the feeling that it seems to hide many secrets.
The congregants were all calm and composed, showing no desire or desire, and vividly expressed the definition of an ascetic. Along the way, Link and the others met almost all the congregants who were focused on praying and turned a blind eye to their arrival.
, even if he saw it, he would only nod silently and not even say a word.
Because of this, the entire Tianling Religion is filled with a depressing atmosphere. Even Saga and Aiolos, who are fanatical believers, cannot stand this environment. They feel that if they stay here for a long time, they will definitely go crazy.
After looking at the believers and then at Reimu, who was expressionless, Link finally understood why Reimu always had an indifferent expression that kept strangers away. He had grown up in such a repressive environment since he was a child, and Reimu was still...
It is strange to have rich emotions.
Soon, everyone was brought to a large room in the monastery. Sunny said that the three elders were waiting inside, but she hoped to talk to Link alone, and no one else except Reimu should go in.
Although Link was confused, he still asked Aria and the others to wait outside, and he and Reimu walked into the room. There, there were three beautiful women wearing white robes. Their hair was all silver, but their skin was
Very smooth and tender, looking very young.
After seeing the three masked women, Lingmeng curled his lips and said, "You old ladies are still the same as before, always acting mysterious and mysterious. You look really weak."
These disgraceful words made Link extremely speechless and a little embarrassed. However, the three people who were called old ladies did not pay attention. The leading woman spoke in an old-fashioned voice that did not match her appearance: "Archbishop Neil, welcome to Bath City.
, my name is Lingfeng, and I am the great elder of Tianling Sect. They are the second elder Lingshui and the third elder Lingmu." After a pause, after Link digested their identities, she continued: "I know you
If you have a lot of questions, please don’t worry, we will answer all your questions one by one.”
Seeing that he was being ignored, Reimu curled his lips and threw his head to the side in disgust, and after a few seconds of silence, Link showed a magic smile and said: "Father, hello, three elders, I am indeed very good.
I'm curious, because from the looks of you, you seem to be sure that I will definitely come."
Lingfeng showed an enigmatic smile and said: "Yes, your arrival has been predicted long ago, and we are just following the prediction and waiting for your arrival."
"Another prophecy?" Link raised his eyebrows and asked slightly confused, "What kind of prophecy is so magical? It can predict my arrival so accurately."
The prophecy technique can indeed predict some things, but it has great limitations. Link is a time traveler, and it is amazing to be able to predict it. Therefore, Link is quite confused and a little nervous. The identity of the time traveler must not be known to others.
And the system matters are also of great importance. Nothing in this can be spread out, otherwise you will be killed.
After listening to Link's words, Lingfeng shook his head and said: "No, the prophecy did not mention you, but it mentioned the rise of the Father God Religion, and the founder of the Father God Religion is the person we have been waiting for."
After a pause, she closed her eyes and said with a sacred face, "The true God is blessing us. God's messenger comes. In the name of God, he spreads the glory. In the name of God, he summons all things. In the name of God, he rules the world. Father.
God is above, and faith is unified.”
Link couldn't help but be stunned and said doubtfully: "This is..."
"This is the prophecy." Lingfeng slowly narrated, "The prophecy that existed before the Tianling Sect was established five hundred years ago is also the original intention of our ancestors in establishing the Tianling Sect - we are all waiting for your arrival."
"Five hundred years ago?" Link was stunned, then frowned and said, "Didn't Lingmeng say that you only learned about a prophecy three months ago?"
"That's another prophecy. The Holy Artifact of our religion - the Eye of the Prophet - suddenly appeared three months ago, revealing the rise of the Father God Sect and pointing out that if we don't take refuge, then the Tianling Sect will
Facing the disaster of extermination of the religion." After a pause, Lingfeng continued, "And the Eye of the Prophet is the sacred instrument that revealed God's prophecies five hundred years ago. The rise of the Father God Sect also corresponds to the founding of the Tianling Sect.
prophecy."
After saying that, Lingfeng stared at Link and said nothing, waiting for Link to digest these things. At this time, Link finally understood why the Tianling Sect sold the entire church, including the high priest, to him because of a mere prophecy.
, it turns out that there is also a prophecy about the reason for the founding of the religion as a foreshadowing.
Link did not doubt that Lingfeng and others would make Tianling Sect surrender to him because of a prophecy at the beginning of the sect's founding, because this is a religion, and the members of the sect are a group of ascetics who live in peace with the world and believe in the words of their ancestors.
Reasonably, others cannot understand the thoughts of this kind of fanatic believers. Just like if Link asks fanatic believers to join other churches in the name of God the Father, the believers will do what he wants no matter how unwilling they are.
The power of faith is sometimes the same as mental control, and people often do incredible things because of the leaders' words.
However, although Link understood the reason why the Tianling Sect turned to the Father God Sect, he was also frightened by the prophecy. The meaning of the Tianling Sect's founding prophecy was very simple, that is, it showed that the apostles of the true God would come to the world, and
The slogan used by the apostle of God is "God is above" - which is the deceptive saying he is accustomed to talking about.
The most shocking thing is that the prophecy actually mentions the four words "summoning all things". Doesn't this correspond to the fact that the system can create various things? Well, all of this can be said to be a coincidence, but the one called the Prophet
The holy object of the eye had foreseen the rise of the Father God Church when he traveled through time. This was too unscientific. Even if Link didn't believe in God, he still had the feeling of being stared at by a pair of eyes, which made him unable to help himself.
Some people are heartbroken.
Taking a deep breath, Link asked in a deep voice: "In this world, can a person's affairs really be completely predicted by prophecy?"
As if he could see Link's inner thoughts, Lingfeng shook his head: "No, there is no such thing. Prophecies are just showing countless things that may happen in the future through awkward words. There is no eternal thing.
Even our founding prophecy may not come true. But now we have successfully fulfilled the prophecy."
"Really..." After hearing this, Link felt a little relieved. He already possesses the miraculous True God System, and his ability to accept this kind of thing is not bad. Then, he tentatively asked Lingfeng and others if they knew.
He didn’t know about the True God system and time travel, but the result reassured Link that the prophecy didn’t mention the relevant content, only the Father God religion. Even Link didn’t know anything about it, just because Link was the Father.
The founder of the divine religion, Lingfeng and others believed that the person in the prophecy was Link.
Since then, Link's worries have been relieved, and he is suddenly curious about the Holy Artifact Prophet's Eye, which predicted so many things. In the world of Sola Kong, the thing worthy of the name of the Holy Artifact must be the legacy of the ancient Holy Spirits.
Each of the treasures below is a priceless treasure that can only be found but cannot be found. The ancient Holy Spirit is a powerful race known as the descendants of gods. Each of them has power comparable to or even surpassing the saints, just because of various reasons.
It disappeared in the long river of history, and it is still unknown whether the ancient Holy Spirit still exists.
Although Link cannot be said to be determined to obtain this sacred artifact from the Tianling Sect, after hearing about so many artifacts, he is a little itchy about this sacred artifact. But after all, this is someone else's thing, even if the other party surrenders to him.
It would be a bit awkward to ask for it directly without you, so after thinking about it, Link politely expressed that he wanted to see the sacred artifact.
Originally, Link thought that Lingfeng and the others would be a little resistant after hearing this, but the three of them smiled faintly and immediately expressed their willingness to give the sacred weapon to Link, which shocked Link.
When Link asked in surprise why the Tianling Sect was so generous, Lingfeng and others simply said that this was also the ancestor's arrangement and they were just following their ancestor's instructions.
The ancestors, and the ancestors, are worthy of being a church that believes in the ancestors. They completely regard the words of the ancestors as oracles, and all the holy vessels are given away at will.
The three elders immediately took Link and Lingmeng to the place where the sacred artifact was stored. Lingmeng originally didn't want to go, but Lingfeng said that Lingmeng, as the high priest of Tianling, had an obligation to witness this historic moment.
As for why it was called "historical", it was unclear. The three elders laughed and said nothing about it.
As the most important sacred object that founded the religion, the Tianling Sect would naturally not place the Eye of the Prophet in a conspicuous place. Under the guidance of the three elders, Link and Lingmeng wandered around, and finally entered an underground passage.
And after walking for a long time, Link couldn't help but wonder if the three elders had ulterior motives.
When Link's patience was about to run out, the group finally arrived at a huge basement, where eight masked women were guarding them. These eight people had cold brows and restrained auras. Even without Bai Ling's perception, Link could tell.
These people will definitely not be weaker than Saga and Aiolos.
"At least above level two." Link mentally evaluated these indifferent women.
