Chapter 407: The Girl Kneeling Before G.o.d

Cheng Lixue hesitated for a moment before shaking his head .

The G.o.d of Revelation reminisced about the past and said indifferently, ”Did you know, that Mr . Ke of the Academy had once exhibited Divine Skills?”

Cheng Lixue was shocked speechless to find that there were others outside of the West-Hill Divine Palace who could cultivate Divine Skills . He had barely accepted the things that had happened to Ning Que thanks to Sangsang . But when the G.o.d of Revelation told him that someone else had already learned the Divine Skills, he found it too hard to accept that even though the person was the legendary Mr . Ke .

The G.o.d of Revelation said, ”It makes no difference to the Taoist sect whether Ning Que had learned the West-Hill Divine Skill from Sangsang or he had inherited the mantle of Mr . Ke . ”

”But . . . Mr . Ke's belief in Haotian could not possibly be firm . How could he cultivate the Divine Skills? If Ning Que had learned it from him, what exactly are Divine Skills then?”

Cheng Lixue said thoughtfully, ”Since Ning Que was a student of Yan Se, we have to be more vigilant . ”

”One's beliefs have always been a complicated issue . As for what a firm belief is, only the great Haotian can make the judgment . ”

The G.o.d of Revelation said blandly, ”Your doubts are not the responsibility of the Revelation Department but the Judicial Department . Pen a letter back to West-Hill and have them settle it themselves . ”

Cheng Lixue agreed and thought of the earlier message from West-Hill . He frowned slightly and said, ”I heard that the G.o.d of Judgement has not yet fully healed and his mood recently . . . ”

The G.o.d of Revelation looked into his eyes silently . He said, ”Of the responsibilities of the three departments in the Divine Hall, the Judicial Department's has barely anything to do with you . Yet, you seem to be affected by it . ”

Cheng Lixue said surprisedly when he heard that, ”I do not understand . ”

The G.o.d of Revelation looked at the dark floors before him as if he was seeing the dark prison in the depths of the Peach Mountain . He lamented, ”The original intention of the Judicial Department when they advocated for Ning Que was to anger the Sword Garret . The crux of the matter was that the battle at the Academy's doors originated from here, and was planned by the Judicial Department . However, those who are used to using violence have never understood that this was a matter between the Academy and Liu Bai . It was the Divine Hall's mistake when they interfered in it . The more they did, the more mistakes they committed . ”

Cheng Lixue only knew then, that the West-Hill Divine Palace had a hand in today's battle .

The G.o.d of Revelation

lowered his lids . The creases at the corner of his eyes deepened and he said wearily, ”Senior Brother Guang Ming has already pa.s.sed on . I am already old . I feel somewhat uneasy knowing that something serious is about to happen to the Judicial Department . ”

Cheng Lixue asked anxiously, ”Since you already know that something is about to happen, why not stop it from happening before it does?”

The G.o.d of Revelation raised his head and looked at Cheng Lixue pityingly . He said, ”You have been following me for over two decades . And you've been in the Revelation Department for a long time . Do you still not know, that Revelations are from the Heavens? We might be able to know about certain incidents earlier than secular men . But those are things that Haotian allowed us to know . Stop it in advance? Wouldn't that mean going against the will of Heaven? Furthermore, the thing that will happen to the Judicial Department might not necessarily be bad for the Divine Hall . ”

The Zhishou Abbey was an Unknown Place .

Not many knew of the existence of this rundown Taoist temple .

Even if they did, they did not know that this Taoist temple in the clouds of the Haotian Taoism Gates was but a mere distance from the Peach Mountain . They did not know that it watched the grand and majestic Taoist temples quietly .

There was a little straw hut by the lake behind the Taoist temple .

The lake breeze entered through the windows once more, flipping open the first page of the ”Ri” book of the Tomes of Arcane . It stopped on a page .

The middle-aged Taoist by the table looked at the name on the page . He did not say anything .

He had watched over the Tomes of Arcane for many years, but he had never seen something like this happening to the ”Ri” book .

The name had disappeared three months ago .

The name appeared once more yesterday . However, it did not return to its original spot . It moved with the lake breeze, and appeared on the page before it sometimes . It would occasionally appear on the page after that, but it never stayed . It only returned to its original page at the very end, but its position had changed .

The name used to be in an inconspicuous corner, but now, it appeared on the top of the page . It was like a smoke rising from the wild, almost touching the skies .

”The Headmaster of the

the Academy is indeed incredible . . . That person had raised from the lower Seethrough State to threshold of the Knowing Destiny State . ”

The middle-aged Taoist looked at the name that would not stay in one spot . He smiled and said, ”I have watched over the Tomes of Arcane for years, and the rate at which your state had risen could be ranked in the top five . However, the elusiveness of your state is definitely in the first place . ”

Not far away, Prince Long Qing's name was just as faint as before . However, the last stroke of his name seemed to be darker than before, as if someone had added a drop of ink on it .

The middle-aged Taoist did not notice the change in Prince Long Qing's name .

His attention was fully on the name that would not stay still .

Then, he lifted his head to look at the highest spot on that page of the Tomes of Arcane and nodded with satisfaction .

Ye Hongyu's name hung high up on the page as if it would leap out of the page anytime . The other names on the page trailed behind it at a distance .
