As Yin Wuque listened to Ji Tianxing's words, he sized up Song Zhanyu, Jiang Ningxue, and Qin Cangqiong.
He memorized their appearances and Ji Tianxing's words.
Then, he asked Ji Tianxing with a confused expression, "Young Master Ji, how do you know these people? And you know them so clearly? "
Ji Tianxing calmly replied, "It's a secret."
Yin Wuque became even more curious and guessed, "Could it be that you didn't cultivate in seclusion these past few days and instead went to the various palaces to gather information?"
After saying this, he also felt that it was unlikely. He shook his head and said, "That's impossible. You don't look like someone who would do such a thing."
"It's good that you know," Ji Tianxing nonchalantly replied.
Yin Wuque became even more confused. He frowned and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he revealed an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh … I understand. It must be Lin Daoyi who told you!
After all, you are the number one genius of your country. Lin Daoyi would naturally take special care of you! "
Ji Tianxing didn't answer. He didn't comment.
While everyone was sizing up the geniuses of the various countries, the geniuses of the Five Great Empires were also observing Ji Tianxing, Yin Wuque, and the others.
The geniuses of the various countries were all proud and arrogant, and they were all competitors.
Thus, they looked at the group with cold eyes that even contained a hint of wariness and enmity.
Soon, the group arrived outside a resplendent palace.
The design and layout of this palace were completely different from the other palaces. It looked like a dark golden dome-shaped temple.
This was the temple that worshiped God Lord Taihao.
Outside the gate of the temple, there was a spacious square. The ground was paved with huge black stones.
A massive ancient stone stele stood in the plaza, densely carved with words that recorded the great achievements of God Lord Taihao and the origin of the Clear Heaven Pagoda.
In the corner of the plaza, there were several black stone pillars more than a hundred feet tall, carved with the images of ancient beasts. They appeared rather mysterious.
Over a hundred geniuses from the six nations gathered on the black stone plaza and stood in six groups.
Six oracles dressed in robes of different colors stood side by side in front of the team, bowing and kowtowing to the gate of the temple.
"We have brought our disciples to pay our respects to Divine Lord Taihao!"
The six of them shouted in unison, their tone solemn and respectful.
The heavy doors of the temple slowly opened, and a burly, domineering middle-aged man walked out of the temple.
This person had white hair and bronze skin. His eyes were large and bright, as vast as the starry sky.
He stepped through the gate of the temple and stood on the steps outside. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the crowd with a dignified expression.
The six Divine Envoys immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Great Guardian!"
The hundreds of young geniuses also bowed to the Great Guardian.
The Great Guardian nodded slightly and waved his palms slowly. He drew out a mysterious seal and chanted an ancient and obscure spell.
As he finished casting the spell, an invisible divine power of heaven and earth enveloped the entire temple.
The temple instantly exploded with dazzling golden light, making it seem as divine as a celestial palace.
This was a necessary part of the worship ceremony, and it had always been this way.
Once the Great Guardian was done, he turned and stepped into the temple.
The six Divine Envoys then led the young geniuses into the vast temple.
The interior of the temple was extremely solemn. In the north was a high platform, upon which stood a dark golden statue one hundred feet tall.
This statue depicted Divine Lord Taihao, and it was so lifelike that it seemed almost lifelike.
Divine Lord Taihao wore a suit of dark golden armor, a wide golden battle robe, and a simple but dignified divine crown on his head.
Divine Lord Taihao was seated on a massive throne, his posture upright and dignified. His body exuded a divine aura that seemed to look down upon the world.
In his left hand was a Divine Kingdom codex while in his right hand was a broad and heavy divine sword.
This codex represented the Divine Lord's authority, implying that the laws of the Divine Kingdom governed the world and ensured eternal peace for its people.
The sheathed divine sword represented the Divine Lord's absolute martial strength, implying that the Divine Lord used the sword to expand his territory and protect his Divine Kingdom.
Behind the Divine Lord's statue, the entire wall was covered in reliefs, depicting millions of miles of mountains, rivers, and stars. There were also many words and symbols carved into it.
In short, all the young geniuses who had entered the temple were stunned by this divine majesty.
Although Divine Lord Taihao's statue was made of precious stones and refining materials, it was not alive.
But it possessed the aura of a Divine Lord, exuding a pressure that could suppress the world. It was like a Divine Lord had personally arrived.
Everyone put aside their distracting thoughts and lined up in neat rows, maintaining a solemn and dignified demeanor. No one made a single noise.
The six Divine Envoys stood on the left and right sides of the temple, their hands hanging at their sides.
The Great Guardian walked up to Divine Lord Taihao's statue and piously began to recite a long, ancient language.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing stood motionless in the crowd, his eyes fixed on Divine Lord Taihao's statue, a strange light flashing through them.
For some reason, ever since he had stepped into the temple, his mind had been uneasy, his Origin Spirit throbbing.
When he saw Divine Lord Taihao's statue clearly, his Origin Spirit trembled, various fragmented scenes appearing in his mind.
A sense of familiarity that originated from the depths of his soul flooded his Origin Spirit, spreading to every nerve in his body.
His mind was in chaos, his consciousness somewhat hazy. His body stiffened, his limbs no longer listening to his commands.
He could clearly sense that something sealed deep within his soul had unwittingly shattered.
Many ancient and complex images and information were surging in his mind, ready to explode at any moment.
This strange and unusual feeling was something he had never experienced before. It made him feel both puzzled and shocked.
But at this moment, the Great Guardian finished reciting his incantation.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and bowed to the Divine Lord's statue, then he called out to the crowd, "Let the worship ceremony begin! Disciples, kneel! May Lord Divine Lord's glory last forever … "
Upon hearing such a solemn and dignified voice, the hundred or so young geniuses all knelt reverently on the ground, their hearts brimming with devotion.
Everyone placed their palms flat on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the ground as they maintained a prostrating posture.
The Great Guardian's dignified gaze swept across the temple. Seeing that all the Divine Envoys were kneeling, he prepared to recite the second verse.
But when he saw Ji Tianxing, his gaze froze, and he fiercely frowned.
This was because while everyone in the temple was prostrating on the ground, only Ji Tianxing was still standing.
Not only was he standing ramrod straight, but he was also staring straight at Divine Lord Taihao's statue with a blank expression, without the slightest bit of respect!
