The statue's radiance was boundless. The resplendent holy radiance was like a divine pagoda that reached the heavens, reaching all the way to the horizon.
The divine radiance spread in the sky, bathing the entire Holy City in it. Those who knew of the Holy Tower's radiance were overjoyed.
The six Senators were overjoyed as well. After decades, the Holy City's radiance had finally appeared in front of the world once again.
"This is the true Holy City. This is the holy radiance that can shake the soul. The Holy City is eternal, and the Federation is immortal …" a Senator said excitedly with a fervent look in his eyes.
Shen Yuchi was also excited. To be able to accomplish such a huge matter was undoubtedly a huge credit to the bureau.
In front of the Holy Tower, the entire altar rose up with a resplendent holy radiance. The humans inside the altar melted like snow under the holy radiance.
Shen Yuchi and the six Senators weren't surprised because they had long known that such a thing would happen. Back when the six families first opened the Holy Tower, something similar had happened. How could a god's holiness be tainted by humans? Once the Holy Tower was opened, everything on the altar would be purified. It was inevitable.
No human could survive on the altar, including the six heroes back then. They knew very well how terrifying the Holy Tower's power was. It came from the power of the six Holy Temples. Apart from the mighty existences in the Holy Temples, it was impossible for humans to resist it.
Zhou Wen felt his body being corroded by the intense holy radiance. He hurriedly summoned the Stone Chi to transform into stone armor to protect his body, but the stone armor rapidly melted under the terrifying holy radiance as though it was being rapidly gnawed at by termites.
Jiang Yan and company were in a similar situation. It didn't look good.
"Teacher, let's quickly escape." As Zhong Ziya spoke, he slashed his sword at the radiance before him. However, his sword was melted by the radiance. How could he possibly slash it?
"Escape? Why should I escape? I came here to wait for this moment. "Wang Mingyuan looked at the resplendent statue in front of him with an abnormally determined gaze.
"Teacher, what are you trying to do?" Although Zhou Wen had always felt that Wang Mingyuan wouldn't harm them, everything Wang Mingyuan had done had exceeded his imagination.
Wang Mingyuan turned his head and looked at the four of them. "As master and disciple, I have something to give you. Treat it as my final legacy in this world. Keep it as a memento."
Crack!
The shackles on Wang Mingyuan's body were automatically broken, and they fell to the ground like garbage. Before they could even touch the ground, they were melted by the holy light.
Wang Mingyuan's body emitted a strange power that blocked the Holy Brilliance, preventing Zhou Wen and company from being injured by it.
Zhou Wen looked at the power emitted by Wang Mingyuan and found it somewhat familiar, but he couldn't figure out why.
Wang Mingyuan had already been captured for a few days. He was probably only wearing a prisoner's robe. But when he reached into the air, it was as if he had pierced through the air and grabbed something out of thin air.
It was a thick diary that looked very old, but it had been preserved very well. Zhou Wen had seen this diary before. It was the diary that Wang Mingyuan carried with him. Usually, whenever he had any thoughts or inspiration, he would write them down in the diary.
"Jiang Yan, your personality is the most similar to mine. You also like research the most. These are some of my years of experience and thoughts. I'll give them to you," Wang Mingyuan said as he handed the diary to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan took the diary with both hands and didn't say a word.
Wang Mingyuan didn't say anything else either. The power on his body grew stronger and stronger, to the point where his body was affected by it. It seemed to tremble slightly, and Zhou Wen could even see ripples of power flowing through his body.
Wang Mingyuan took out a sheathed sword and handed it to Zhong Ziya. "Your personality is too extreme. It's inevitable that there will be deviations in your actions. I'll give this sword to you. It might be of some help to you."
Zhong Ziya didn't say a word as he took the sword and stared straight at Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan knew what Zhong Ziya wanted to hear, but he didn't say anything to him. He took out something and handed it to Hui Haifeng. "You have great ambitions. You will definitely accomplish great things in the future. This is some of the savings I've saved over the years. It's useless now. Take it."
"Yes, Counselor." Hui Haifeng didn't reject it and respectfully received the tiny box. It was unknown what was inside.
Finally, Wang Mingyuan's gaze landed on Zhou Wen as he said with a smile, "You are the purest one among the four. You don't have as many thoughts and desires as the three of them, but you are also the most difficult to understand. Although I know what you want, I can't do it now. Apart from that, what other wishes do you have? Why don't you tell me?"
At that moment, the power on Wang Mingyuan's body had almost condensed into a corporeal state. It transformed into wisps of light that circulated around his body, and the aura that Zhou Wen found familiar became stronger.
Now, Zhou Wen finally recalled where he had sensed this aura.
Beneath Dragon's Well, the white cocoon that the white dragon was guarding had the same aura. However, the aura on the white cocoon was very weak, so weak that it was almost difficult to sense. Zhou Wen only had a vague impression of it.
However, Wang Mingyuan's aura was very strong, so strong that it almost suffocated Zhou Wen.
Could it be that Teacher … Zhou Wen had a bad feeling as he looked at Wang Mingyuan in front of him.
"I don't have much time. Answer me. What do you want?" Wang Mingyuan's expression was somewhat odd. His entire body was trembling as though he was trying his best to suppress his voice.
Zhou Wen looked at Wang Mingyuan bitterly. After a moment, he said, "Teacher, can you give me a drop of your blood?"
Zhou Wen's words left Wang Mingyuan, Zhong Ziya, and company taken aback. Wang Mingyuan looked at Zhou Wen and smiled. "You are indeed the most difficult person to understand."
With that said, Wang Mingyuan ignored Zhou Wen and slowly turned around. With his back facing Zhou Wen and company, his gaze was fixed on the resplendent holy statue.
"I've been really happy spending time with all of you. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Today, we will part ways, and we will no longer be separated. As our final farewell, I'll give you a small gift." With Wang Mingyuan's trembling words, the power in his body completely erupted like a volcano. His body also changed.
The black hair on his head instantly turned white and rapidly grew, almost reaching the ground. A pair of crystal-like horns grew out of his head, and his entire body underwent an extraordinary change.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wen and company couldn't see Wang Mingyuan's face. Otherwise, they would definitely discover that his face had become handsome and strange. His eyes emitted an indescribable strange glow.
The terrifying power rose from his body as though countless divine lights surrounded his body. It caused his clothes to flutter without any wind as his body floated up and slowly rose in front of the holy statue.
