“Disciple Brother Dong Bo, I’ve been spending quite some time at Remote Dust Temple. If you ever want to find me, you should look there first. As for ordinary communication, let’s just handle that via communication treasure,” said Hui Ming.
“Alright.” Xue Ying and Hui Ming exchanged imprints so that they could, in the future, create a more solid relationship through their communication wristbands.
It wasn’t long before Hui Ming bade his farewell and left the place.
“Eldest Disciple Brother Hui Ming is heavily respected by the disciples of Crimson Rock Mountain, and now that I’ve finally met him, I really do think he’s extraordinary. He took the initiative to come meet me, and he’s acted so polite toward me, as his disciple brother.” Xue Ying sighed. It was true that he displayed some huge potential, but the news of him having a grade one True Meaning had yet to be made public. On top of that, Hui Ming had also been a grade one True Meaning Transcendent in the past, the only such Transcendent Sacred Master Crimson Dust received when he was still alive. Currently, he was a stage four World Deity.
“Apparently, Disciple Brother Hui Ming was met with a huge setback in his relationship when he was still young and thus became a monk.” Jing Qiu sighed. “As a grade one True Meaning Transcendent, his talent is nothing short of extraordinary, but that mixture of gratitude and resentment he held pushed him to spread his religion rampantly…just so he could become a stage four World Deity that bit faster.”
Xue Ying nodded.
The power of faith…
Was very beneficial toward one’s cultivation! The accumulation of faith power would bring one’s cultivation speed to a whole new level. Hui Ming’s talent had always been outstanding, seeing how he was a grade one True Meaning Transcendent, and his cultivation speed only soared higher with it. But while the power of faith brought him success, it also led him to ruin! Faith was, after all, bound by karma. The more one absorbed, the harder it became for them to escape that karma. This was the sole biggest obstacle he, a stage four World Deity, faced in becoming a powerful existence.
Even so, countless World Deities were still spreading their faith wherever they could. They found this path to be their only chance at becoming stage three World Deities! The luckiest of them might even become stage four World Deities. It was only natural for such people to willingly absorb faith power. As for the fact that they would then find it more difficult to become powerful existences? Just how many powerful existences had there appeared in the Deity world and Dark Abyss, from ancient times and all the way to now?
It was simply too difficult.
Grade one True Meaning Transcendents, on the other hand, would usually not absorb faith unless they had a very good reason to do so. Xue Ying had also been warned by Crimson Rock that he should never absorb faith power. Any grade one True Meaning Transcendent had boundless potential and were practically set from the start to become stage four World Deities. To absorb faith just for the sake of saving time, while destroying all hope of becoming a powerful existence, was absolutely not worth it.

As the days went by, the moment for the Myriad Flower Feast to officially begin soon arrived.
In the central palace of the Bloodshed God Palace.
The start of the Myriad Flower Feast was held at none other than the highest spot of this palace which towered above all others. Clouds could be seen surrounding the place, and many powerful existences made their way through the sky before landing there. All of the powerful existences exuded vastly different auras. Some of them were so scorching hot that they could instantly burn all life within an area of a billion kilometers, while others would be as reserved as the endless abyss. There were even powerful existences with auras so sharp that they could tear through the void. Xue Ying and the others all felt jittery at this sight.
The nineteen hundred final participants were currently sitting at the outermost perimeter, with tables brimming with food placed in front of each and every one of them.
There were soldiers situated all around them, tasked with guarding the area and all of them at least at the grade one World Deity realm. There was even the occasional stage two World Deity here and there. Closer to His Majesty, powerful existences were flanked by stage three World Deities acting as imperial guards, respectfully watching over them.
From what I remember, General Ying’s father is a stage three World Deity and one of His Majesty’s imperial guards. Xue Ying took a glance in the direction of His Majesty, sweeping his vision over the stage three World Deities there. He is most likely one of those people.
They, mere Deities, were naturally unable to see what was happening over at the feast. Instead, they felt an invisible force pressing down on them, and their naked eyes could only see a blurry scene.
The Bloodshed God Emperor could be seen in the highest position, crimson robes adorning his figure. His eyes were deep, and his aura could be vaguely described as boundless, dark, and destructive. Just by sitting there, he was able to leave the other powerful existences feeling uneasy. To his sides were three other people seated at an equally high position, their auras comparable in power to the Bloodshed God Emperor’s.
One of them was a Dark Abyss ruler with a towering body and eyes covered in their entirety by countless blood signs. Much like how the Temporal Island Lord, the Bloodshed God Emperor, and the Myriad God Palace Head were the absolute existences of the Deity world, there were also three rulers who stood at the very peak of the Dark Abyss.
The next person was also a ruler of the Dark Abyss. This one was a cold and handsome man adorned by golden armor. He had the sharpest eyes of the three, and none of the powerful existences below dared look into them.
The third and final expert was a graceful, luxurious-looking woman. Her aura was the most reserved and warm amongst them, though she did not seem to be at any disadvantage in face of the Bloodshed God Emperor and the others.
Other than these four…
