With the Book of Nine Realms in hand, East Great Emperor's biggest task had been accomplished, and he was ready to leave before the auction was over.
As for the deposit he had paid earlier, East Great Emperor had left an address, and the Central Auction House would send someone to deliver it.
As the largest auction house in the Central Territory's trading galaxy, no one would doubt its credibility.
"Friend from Room 1, please wait." Just as he arrived at the entrance of the auction house, someone quickly caught up with him.
Wang Ling recognized this person.
He was the young man next to Madam Shan Xiu, the head of Immortal Mountain Sect, who had participated in the auction with her. He had red lips, white teeth, delicate features, and a good temperament.
Judging from his overall strength, he should be a core disciple of Immortal Mountain Sect.
"I'm Mei Yunhai, a core disciple of Madam Shan Xiu," the young man said. "Madam would like to invite you to the temple for a chat. Would you do her the honor?"
"I'll have to ask if she wants to invite all of us or just my master." Zhang Zi snickered.
"Well … everyone, of course. Of course, she wants to talk to this gentleman." Mei Yunhai was speechless for a moment, but he reacted quickly. He immediately bowed and looked in Wang Ling's direction.
"Why does Madam Shan Xiu want to talk to my master?"
"You'll know when you get there. This is related to the Book of Nine Realms. Consider it a reminder from Madam. "Mei Yunhai didn't say it directly.
If it had been an ordinary person, East Great Emperor would have left without turning back. But this time, the person who called him was the famous head of Immortal Mountain Sect, and he might really hear something interesting.
There was still some time before the Four Emperors Assembly, so East Great Emperor thought it would be fine to go and relieve his boredom.
Of course, the operation here had already been written down in the diary.
After agreeing to Mei Yunhai's request, East Great Emperor immediately rushed toward the temple.
In ancient times, almost all the major cities in the four regions and the Central Territory had temples.
They were places for offering incense, and if one was devout, one might receive immortal blessings.
But Wang Ling and Lotus Sun were extremely unfamiliar with this kind of ancient culture that the ancient ones were familiar with.
"Is a temple … similar to a Buddhist hall?" Lotus Sun asked. She felt that she had asked a stupid question.
However, the East Great Deity's reply was very gentle. "Similar, but not exactly the same."
In the team voice technique, the East Great Emperor replied patiently, "Even cultivators need faith. The temple is a place to continue the faith of cultivators and allow like-minded cultivators to gather their faith."
"Then dare I ask Senior, who are the people worshiped in the temple? Dao Ancestor Wang? "Lotus Sun was curious.
"For the vast majority of cultivators, Dao Ancestor Wang is too illusory. He is an existence that they can only look at but cannot reach. The older generation of cultivators have feelings for Dao Ancestor Wang, but in the ancient times, the people these new generation of cultivators came in contact with the most were us. In other words, the Four Emperors. "
At this point, the East Great Emperor couldn't help but scratch the back of his head. "Hahaha, it's a little embarrassing to say this. Actually, the ones worshiped in this temple are the four of us … "
"…" Wang Ling, Lotus Sun and Wang Zhen were stupefied at the same time.
Daoism worships the Three Pure Ones, Buddhism worships Tathagata, but in ancient times, they worshipped the Four Emperors …
If he went to the temple now, it meant that the Great East Sovereign would worship himself.
That was too shameful!
"That is to say, the temple worships the four of you at the same time? Then if your beliefs are different, will you directly start fighting? "Wang Zhen couldn't help asking.
"You don't know this."
At that moment, Zhang Zi opened his mouth to explain on their behalf with the air of an elder. "Only the central region's solar system is special, and the temple has statues of the Four Emperors. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, everyone worships their own.
"The region they live in depends on which emperor they worship. Of course, there are also the more moderate and steady faction that worships all four at home and doesn't offend anyone.
"As for the central region's temple, because the four regions jointly sent ancient city guards, even if they have different beliefs, they won't start fighting over them."
"What about the faces of the statues of the Four Emperors?"
"Naturally DIY …" Zhang Zi replied, using a more modern term. "Normal cultivators can't clearly see the faces of the Four Emperors when they are at full strength, so there have always been many versions of the true faces of the Four Emperors among the people. Naturally, the facial features that are used to carve the statues of the Four Emperors are the ones that are just right, the kind of facial features that are naturally dignified without being angry."
So that was it.
Wang Ling and Lotus Sun nodded inwardly.
The matters of the Eternal World and some unique folk cultures were uncommon in modern cultivation society, and were knowledge that couldn't be learned in textbooks.
This piqued the interest of both of them.
As for Wang Zhen, he knew a little more about the Eternal World than Wang Ling and Lotus Sun, but that was just some things passed down by the elders, and a lot of things were hearsay. Now that he had taken this opportunity to come to the Eternal World, it could be considered a supplementary lesson.
The temple closest to the Central Auction House was five hundred li away. Zhang Zi secretly hired a Pegasus carriage to take everyone there.
Everyone sat in the carriage and sped through the sky. When they approached the divine temple, the body of the East Great Emperor began to emit the radiance of divinity. Colorful runes of seven colors bloomed from his body like a lotus, dazzling and dazzling.
There was no sound at all, but it gave off a terrible divine aura.
"Oh no … I forgot about this …"
The East Emperor muttered to himself. Something was wrong, and he quickly made a hand seal to force the spirit power that was involuntarily emitting back into his body.
"Why is it like this?" Lotus Sun was completely stunned.
Just now, it was as if rainbow bridges had been set up on the East Emperor's body, and his whole body seemed to be releasing fireworks, which was very beautiful.
"Because of the worship in the temple, someone is communicating with me, and that's why it's like this. This is a kind of spiritual response. It can be considered a response to their wishes. "
The East Emperor sighed. "For example, when I'm communicating with you now, I hear a lot of wishes in my mind. They are all made by my believers. "
"Are there any more excessive wishes?" Wang Ying asked with a mischievous smile.
"Mm … the Immortal Ascension Assembly is coming up. Someone wants to get a good ranking. "
"Immortal Ascension Assembly?"
"This is a assembly held jointly by the royal families of the four territories, and its purpose is to select some independent cultivators who are scattered among the people. They can become a member of the royal family through this Immortal Ascension Assembly without any family or background, "Zhang Zi said with a snicker.
"You can do that?" Wang Ying was stunned.
"It's the result of one's own efforts, of course! If a male cultivator has good grades, he can choose to marry into the family. If he has the money, he can also marry openly. If a female cultivator has good grades, she can choose to marry a member of the royal family she likes and directly become the first wife. "
Zhang Zi said with a snicker, "And once the marriage is completed, the child they give birth to will also be a member of the royal family. Don't you think that in modern times, the ancient ones with royal status are even stronger? The power of bloodline inheritance is very realistic. But I remember that in the past Immortal Ascension Assemblies, the royal families that were most favored by the top independent cultivators were the Clear Light Sect of the East Domain and the Great Sect of the North Domain? "
"Yes, the leading independent cultivators in the Immortal Ascension Assembly have the right to choose all the royal families who participate. The number of people who chose these two royal families is also the highest. "The East Great Emperor nodded.
Wang Ying: "That doesn't sound like a very excessive wish."
The East Emperor: "But they're only three years old!"
Everyone: "…"
Lotus Sun: "Then Senior, why don't you find someone to help you filter your wishes?"
East Great Emperor: "The major temples do have a mechanism like the Wish Card, but can a wish written in the Wish Card be called a wish? On the card is written 'I have no desires', but in my heart, I want them all. And it's very expensive to hire people. Every temple in the eternal world has to send someone to guard it. Where would this emperor get so much money? "
Lotus Sun: "But Senior, don't you have a lot of believers? Don't they give money to those who make wishes?"
The East Emperor laughed. "You don't really think that the money in the temple's wish box will reach my hands, do you …"
Everyone: "…"
