Chapter 197: Power of Faith
Wei Huo was about to enter the Soaring Cloud City when Chen Xuanyue flew over with an ice-cream that was taller than her.
She kept sticking out her pink tongue and licking it until she flew in front of Wei Huo. She then said, “I didn’t expect you to enter the Divine Horizon Realm by yourself. It must have been very dangerous. You came back on the seventh day. If one doesn’t come back within seven days, one never comes back!”
Wei Huo thought about it carefully and understood that Chen Xuanyue was not lying. If the last scene had not shocked him, he might have already been enlightened. His soul would have completely scattered everywhere, leaving only his bodily shell behind.
Chen Xuanyue added, “Normal cultivators do not dare to try the Divine Traversing Technique because this process will cause their souls to gradually dissipate. It is said that only those who have reached the level of Rules can one use the Divine Traversing Technique without any worries.”
Wei Huo was a little shocked. The Divine Traversing Technique was a terrifying spell. It knew everything under the sky, and no living creature had any secrets from it.
Wei Huo gradually descended from the sky and walked toward the Soaring Cloud City. The people outside the city were already kneeling on the ground and praying. They treated Wei Huo as a God.
That was not unusual. Before the time halt, some people had been able to easily obtain a large group of followers in human society by learning a little about psychology and playing some tricks. Besides, now that Wei Huo had worked a real miracle, he was like a living God in front of them.
If one did not believe in oneself, one should believe in others. Otherwise, one could not fill one’s empty heart.
Humans had both material and spiritual pursuits. If society made them feel too powerless, they would lose their confidence and choose to believe in others.
However, although many people in the Soaring Cloud City knelt down in front of Wei Huo, there were also many people who stood still. Even though they looked at Wei Huo with respect, that was only the way they looked at the strong. They believed in themselves and believed that they could get that high one day. When that time came, they would be able to dominate the world and sweep it across.
Most of these people were young. They were confident in themselves and believed that they could become famous.
Wei Huo continued his journey. He wanted to head to Area A and negotiate with City Lord Ma Tengyun. At the same time, he could use the scanner to scan the mechanical core and obtain the blueprint of this black technology.
Chen Xuanyue did not enter the city. She was carrying an ice-cream taller than herself as she walked to the west side of the Soaring Cloud City. Her pink tongue kept licking it.
At that moment, the two rocs were already waiting outside the west gate of the Soaring Cloud City with the coffin. Everyone stopped and watched as they passed by. It was too weird for a roc to be pulling a coffin. However, everyone knew that Wei Huo had brought the coffin, so no one dared to go forward to check.
Moreover, there was ice cream floating across at times. Many people fled in panic.
“How can there be ghosts in broad daylight?”
“That coffin is very creepy. It’s best if we don’t go near it!”
Wei Huo embarked on a journey to Area A. The moment he learned that Wei Huo had entered the city, the person in charge of the city sealed off the path and sent special forces to guard it. They were not really worried that Wei Huo would get into an accident. This was a way to express respect and importance. The soldiers had lined up in two rows to guard the path. The residents could only watch from afar. If they wanted to see Wei Huo, they would have to ascend to high ground.
As soon as Wei Huo set foot on the path, a faint golden aura surrounded him and then dissipated.
The moment Wei Huo came into contact with the golden aura, he heard thousands of people praying. They kept praying to Wei Huo, and all of them were extremely pious.
The golden aura was scattered and reassembled by Wei Huo. It then flew into the sky and merged with more golden auras, forming an embryonic soul.
It was the Power of Faith of all living beings!
It was the first time Wei Huo was seeing such an item, but this did not stop him from guessing its origins. In just seven days, the people of the Soaring Cloud City had started worshiping him like a God. In the end, the Power of Faith had appeared.
The Power of Faith was very pure. If Wei Huo was an Epic-ranked creature at that moment, he would be considered a Legendary creature if he absorbed and condensed the Power of Faith until it was exhausted.
At that moment, Wei Huo could still absorb the Power of Faith to increase his combat power. However, the Power of Faith was very unique. It could not be branded. It could only be used and not owned.
Most importantly, this path did not match Wei Huo’s Dao. Although the Power of Faith was powerful, it had its drawbacks. When a believer did not believe in it, the Power of Faith would be lost.
Those who obtained the Power of Faith only had the right to use it and not the right to own it. If it was forcibly taken back, the glory built with the Power of Faith would be taken away as well. For example, if a piece of land was forcibly taken back, the buildings and crops on the ground would also be taken away. At the very least, there would be some compensation if land was taken away. However, if the Power of Faith was taken away, there would be no compensation. Instead, it would backfire on that person.
Immense Power of Faith flew into the sky and formed an embryonic soul. Before long, the embryonic soul might give birth to life. As long as the faith was endless, the God would be immortal.
When Wei Huo arrived in Area A, countless higher-ups welcomed him. He finally saw Ma Tengyun.
To Wei Huo’s surprise, Ma Tengyun was a very ordinary young man. He was the kind of man that could not even stand out in a crowd. He was too ordinary. If he had not been standing at the front and the system had not seen his name, Wei Huo would not have thought that he was the City Lord of the Soaring Cloud City if his soul had not emitted an unusual light.
At that moment, it seemed like there were news reporters around carrying video equipment and recording this scene. This seemed like a newly-established news department. They had come to record this grand moment, but no one dared to take photos. The only thing that recorded history was the high-end video equipment.
Ma Tengyun led the way and shook hands with Wei Huo. Meanwhile, fearless reporters recorded this magnificent moment with their cameras.
A moment later, a reporter was pinned down by a group of guards.
After being pinned down, the reporter shouted, “You can capture me, hit me, or even kill me, but you can’t destroy this camera! Only this camera can record real history!”
Wei Huo and Ma Tengyun had already left. The two of them walked toward a huge meeting room as if they were meeting the leader of a country. As per Wei Huo’s request, this meeting was a secret. Only Wei Huo and the City Lord were allowed to communicate throughout the whole process. No one else was allowed to enter.
As soon as Wei Huo entered the meeting room, he used an aura and sealed the entire room. All the equipment in the room failed instantly. No equipment could monitor the situation in the meeting room.
This was the only secret conversation between Wei Huo and Ma Tengyun. No one knew what they were talking about. All the higher-ups were waiting anxiously outside the meeting room. They were curious, but no one dared to eavesdrop.
Everyone knew that this was a secret meeting that would decide the future of the Soaring Cloud City. Wei Huo and Ma Tengyun were two high and mighty beings. No one could guess their thoughts.
