After pondering for a moment, Su Yu said in a low voice, "The Saint Lady is very powerful. There is no need to rush to rescue her."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's thoughts appeared in his ears.
"Tsk tsk, the Sect Master really has a lot of resentment towards the Saintess!"
"If I were the Sect Leader, I would naturally hope for the Saint to die in White Dragon Mountain forever. However, the Saint controls the Sect Leader's life and death. I'm afraid I have no choice but to go!"
"If the Saintess were to crush that shackle before she died, I'm afraid the Sect Master would also die."
Su Yu heard every single one of their thoughts.
The Saintess grabbed the shackles? Control the Sect Master's life?
It was an unexpected discovery.
However, how could a mere Saintess who was only a peak Overlord be able to control the life and death of the Sect Master so easily?
"Sect Master is wise. The Saintess has the supreme artifact of the Moon Worshipping Cult, the Divine Wheel of the Black Moon. Her life will not be in danger for the time being. Sect Master, you don't have to worry," Protector Bai Li said respectfully.
A bunch of bootlickers!
The blue veins on Su Yu's forehead were twitching non-stop. The ones who died weren't you, right?
Of course, Su Yu wouldn't be the one to die.
No matter how the Holy Maiden controlled the life and death of the Baiyue Sect Leader, she could not control Su Yu.
However, if he really ignored it, he was afraid that his identity as the Sect Master would arouse suspicion.
Even though his life was being controlled, he was still able to remain calm and composed. No matter how muddle-headed Protector Bai Li and the others were, they should be able to sense his abnormality.
Furthermore, the last place the Emperor Killer Sword had appeared was in the White Dragon Mountain Range, right?
According to the information obtained, the Emperor Killer Sword had completely disappeared after escaping to the White Dragon Mountain Range.
No one knew if he was hiding in the White Dragon Mountain Range or if he had escaped somewhere else.
He had already planned to personally head to the White Dragon Mountain Range to investigate.
Now, he could save the Saintess at the same time.
"Sect Leader, it has already been a year since we opened the Black Moon Divine Pool. If we don't absorb it soon, I'm afraid it will evaporate and go to waste. Do you think we should gather the higher-ups of the sect to prepare and absorb it?" The transparent Protector's eyes flashed with a hint of hidden passion.
Absorbing faith every month was what the higher-ups of the church desired the most.
However, the Sect Master had been in seclusion for an entire year, which worried them to death.
Su Yu caressed the key token in his pocket, while his gaze became slightly fervent.
He was also curious about how powerful the Moon Worshipping Cult's power of faith was.
"Gather the higher-ups. We will open the Black Moon Divine Pool tomorrow." Su Yu waved his sleeves and immediately made a decision.
Not long after Xiao Chen returned to his bedroom, Princess Ruchen came over after hearing the news.
"Brother Su Yu, didn't you spend too much time in seclusion?" Princess Ruchen's pretty face relaxed slightly.
For the past year, Su Yu had been in secluded training. She was afraid that she would accidentally expose herself, so she was on tenterhooks.
Now that Su Yu had returned, it was as if he had found his master.
Su Yu smiled as he looked at her, his brows slightly furrowed.
In the past, when he probed her soul, he couldn't feel anything strange. But now that his soul had become stronger, with a casual look, he discovered that her soul was indeed different from an ordinary person's.
In the depths of her Soul Realm, there was a faintly discernible dark-red line that had fused with her soul and was growing together with it.
If one exists, everything exists. If one is destroyed, everything will be destroyed.
"Soul Symbiotic Body?" Su Yu was secretly surprised.
Recently, he had gained some insights into the soul. Only then did he know that such a special soul existed in the world.
The two souls were born as one, each controlling the other's body.
Based on the current situation, Princess Ruchen's soul was far stronger than Ling Long's. Hence, Princess Ruchen was in charge most of the time.
"Ling Long's existence is more or less a hidden danger." Su Yu was deep in thought.
The next time she woke up, she would take away the Emperor Killing Sword and threaten Su Yu's life.
Just her existence alone was a threat to Princess Ruchen.
As far as he knew, the Soul Symbiotic Body wouldn't exist forever. Usually, when one soul became completely powerful, it would suppress the other soul forever.
Although Princess Linglong's soul was weak, it was far more refined than Ruchen's. It was only a matter of time before she could suppress Princess Ruchen.
He had promised Dongfang Xia that he would treat Princess Ruchen well. Naturally, he wouldn't go back on his word.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out a dragon-shaped necklace.
After studying it, he discovered that it was a protective treasure made by Dongfang Xia himself. It had two magical powers, one offensive and one defensive.
The offensive was Dongfang Xia's full-force attack. Any powerful double-crowned emperor would undoubtedly die. If a three-crowned emperor were to be ambushed, he would most likely die as well.
The defensive was the all-out defense of a three-crowned emperor. As long as the opponent wasn't too much stronger than him, he would be able to withstand a blow from a three-crowned emperor.
The dragon and the phoenix had consumed a great deal of Dongfang Xia's power.
Otherwise, during the battle with the Moon Worshipping Sect Master, Dongfang Xia wouldn't have been at such a disadvantage.
He had been wrong about Dongfang Xia all this time.
Hence, it would be best if he could find a way to eliminate or suppress Princess Linglong's soul to relieve Ruchen of her worries.
But before he could find a way to remove it, the safest method was to strengthen Princess Ruchen's own soul.
The stronger she was, the more difficult it would be for Princess Linglong.
"Tomorrow, I will open the Black Moon Divine Pool. Follow me. If the power of faith is beneficial to your cultivation, we can try it together."
Princess Ruchen had been here for a year, but she had not heard much about the power of faith. It was very mysterious.
It was said that by absorbing the power of faith, one's cultivation would be ten times faster than ordinary people.
The rise of the Moon Worshipping Sect overnight was due to the power of faith.
If she could absorb the power of faith, her cultivation could improve rapidly.
The next morning, the Guardian Elder and the Missionary Elder were all waiting in the Sect Master's great hall.
Su Yu arrived a little late with the Sect Master's wife.
"Greetings, Sect Master's wife!" Many elders greeted them respectfully.
"Dispense with the formalities! The Black Moon Divine Pool has not been opened for a year. Elders, follow me. "Su Yu led the crowd to the forbidden area of the main altar, a giant cave built deep underground.
From the entrance of the cave to the forbidden area, there was an imperial guard every ten steps, standing guard all year round. No one was allowed to approach. The security was very tight.
In the depths of the cave was a giant spiritual pool built from an unknown black material. It was sealed off by a thick stone door.
Su Yu tried to probe it with his soul, but was immediately repelled.
Even with his current soul strength, he could not penetrate it. It was obvious how strong the stone door was.
Even a three-crown Divine Warrior might not be able to break open the stone door.
There was a keyhole on the stone door, just like the key Su Yu had.
Filled with anticipation, Su Yu took out the key and opened it.
Suddenly, a rich, mysterious power came rushing at him.
What he saw was a spiritual pool suspended in midair. The pool was overflowing with black air currents. The air currents gathered together, condensing into a liquid that resembled water.
The powerful power of faith was bursting forth from the pool.
In an instant, Su Yu seemed to see countless devout believers kneeling before the Black Moon Statue and kowtowing.
Wisps of faith were stripped from their bodies and gathered on the statue. They were then transferred through the statue to the pool.
All the power of faith gathered in the territory of the Moon Worshipping Cult was gathered here.
The higher-ups of the Moon Worshipping Cult behind him were ravenous and thirsty.
"Go, all of you." Following Su Yu's order, all of them rushed in and devoured the Power of Faith greedily and happily.
They were all fighting to be the first, afraid of falling behind.
Princess Ruchen was also very envious, but Su Yu did not move. She did not act rashly.
Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at everyone's every move.
The usually calm Guardians, in the face of the power of faith, were wild and excited.
"Is this really faith?" Su Yu was suspicious.
True faith should make people more devout, but the Guardians before him had turned into hungry beasts.
His eyes flashed as he observed the bodies of the people.
He found that after the power of faith entered their bodies, it immediately turned into the divine energy they needed, rapidly improving their cultivation.
The more they absorbed, the more they improved.
It seemed like there was no problem!
But Su Yu had always believed in the saying, "The Way of Heaven is balanced."
The Way of Heaven was to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency.
Such a domineering way of improving one's cultivation must have hidden dangers.
Sure enough, Su Yu sensed something out of the blue. When he took a closer look, he was surprised to find that although the Power of Faith integrated into their bodies had turned into Divine Energy, a very small part of it had turned into something else and entered their souls.
Guardian Bai Li absorbed the most power of faith. In his soul, there was an additional layer of transparent bugs that ordinary souls could not detect.
They attached themselves to the soul and greedily devoured the soul essence.
Looking at the translucent Guardian, the other four Guardians, and the hundreds of preaching elders, all of them were in the same situation.
Inside their soul divine crystals, there were bugs gnawing on them!
Guardian Bai Li was the most severely affected. His soul divine crystal was almost filled with bugs, and there were several layers of them.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu's scalp went numb, and his heart trembled.
There was really no such thing as an advantage in this world.
The technique of absorbing the power of faith really had endless hidden dangers.
Guardian Bai Li and the others had only been cultivating for a short period of time. Coupled with the fact that their souls grew along with their cultivation, they did not feel the loss of their soul essence.
However, once their cultivation stagnated for a long time, the speed of the bugs' gnawing would far exceed the growth of their souls. When that happened, there would be a huge problem.
Either their minds would be damaged and they would become wild beasts, or their souls would be devoured cleanly bit by bit, turning them into walking corpses.
Fortunately, Su Yu had been in seclusion for a year. In the Great Void Cave, the colorful divine light had entered his body, and his eyes were looking at the soul at a much higher level than before.
Otherwise, if he had absorbed the power of faith without knowing what was going on, there would have been endless troubles.
Princess Ruchen could not stand it any longer. She tugged at Su Yu's sleeves. "Shall we go too?"
It would have been better if he had not known. Now that he knew, how could he push Princess Ruchen into the fire pit?
However, when he caught a glimpse of the dark red symbiotic soul in the depths of her soul, he had an idea.
His eyes flickered, and two silver flames flew out, turning into a firebird.
With a shrill cry, the firebird burrowed into Guardian Bai Li's soul divine crystal and devoured an invisible bug.
After eating it, the firebird's intelligent eyes were filled with excitement, as if it was particularly fond of the bug.
A smile flashed across the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
"Alright, go ahead. However, you must bring this silver firebird with you." Su Yu beckoned casually, and the firebird flew back into his palm.
Princess Ruchen sized it up curiously. "What is this?"
"A life-saving item! Close your eyes. "
Princess Ruchen closed her eyes strangely, allowing the silver firebird to burrow into her soul and guard her mind.
