Ren Baqian was resting in the house, wondering how he could find an opportunity to contact the empress. At this moment, he heard the sound of a bell coming from the center of the village.
Yun Yuhan, who was leaning against the door, changed her expression slightly. "It's the twelfth ring. All the venerables are coming out of seclusion! They actually value you so much! "
Ren Baqian opened his eyes and smiled. "Yesterday, I asked you if you wanted to know what I said to Wen Xiaosheng … It's too late for you to know now!"
Yun Yuhan walked over to Ren Baqian and said, "How can it be too late? Unless you don't want to say … "
Ren Baqian stroked her face with his finger. "I really don't have any interest in talking about it now!"
Yun Yuhan's arm moved and then stopped. Her palm stopped a few centimeters away from Ren Baqian's face, and he could feel the wind from her palm.
"Don't be so impatient. It won't look good if your face is swollen!" Ren Baqian smiled and pushed her hand away.
"Hmph!" Yun Yuhan twisted her body and walked back to lean against the door frame.
Ren Baqian didn't know what Wen Xiaosheng said to her, but it did have some effect.
Two hours later, Wen Xiaosheng returned and said, "Come with me. The temple chief and the venerables want to see you!"
Ren Baqian nodded, tidied up his clothes, got up, and walked out with Wen Xiaosheng.
The speed of the other party was unexpectedly fast, which showed that they valued him a lot. This gave him a lot of confidence.
"What's the name of your organization?" Ren Baqian asked casually on the way.
"Temple of Heaven!" Probably because there was no need to hide his identity now, Wen Xiaosheng spoke frankly.
"What are venerables?"
"The abdicated temple chief will become venerables."
Ren Baqian nodded. Temple chief, venerables, temple chief … It seemed that the other party did have a lot of experts.
"Are you a temple chief?"
"Yes!"
During the 10-minute journey, Ren Baqian got a lot of information from Wen Xiaosheng. It seemed that Wen Xiaosheng no longer hid anything after arriving at their lair.
This organization was called the Temple of Heaven. It was said that a group of people formed it after the human race retreated here. Its purpose was to protect the human race. However, some things happened later. Some people discovered that not only did the human race not recover their strength, but they were also constantly weakening. From then on, the Temple of Heaven knew that if there were no major changes, the human race wouldn't be able to leave the land of exile.
From then on, the Temple of Heaven had another task, which was to ensure that no one left the Land of Exile.
The Temple of Heaven was divided into eight sub-halls, with about 10,000 people.
The other party didn't mention the number of Venerables, but Xu Wuming was one of them.
The so-called Temple of Heaven was not above ground, but underground.
There was a Sea God Temple at the back of the village. From the back of the Sea God Temple, there was a passage that led diagonally down a few hundred steps. Then, there was a passage lined with oil lamps on both sides. After walking for a few hundred meters, they finally arrived at a huge space.
Dozens of tall statues were situated in this space, forming a circle.
Each statue was ten meters tall. They were either holding a book, a longsword, or a spear. Each statue was like a fierce warrior who fought against the heavens and earth, inspiring respect.
Ren Baqian counted silently. There were a total of 42 statues.
Seventeen of the statues had a person sitting on their shoulders.
There were both men and women, and almost all of them were elderly.
These people were the Venerables and Deputy Temple Masters of the Temple of Heaven.
In other words, there were at least 14 Venerables in the Temple of Heaven. He wondered if Xu Wuming was among them.
Wen Xiaosheng brought Ren Baqian to the center of the hall, bowed to the statues in front of him, and said, "Temple Master, Deputy Temple Master, Venerables, I have brought him here!"
"Go back to your seat." The voice of an old woman was heard.
Wen Xiaosheng moved, landed on one of the shoulders, and sat down cross-legged.
Ren Baqian looked at the tall statues in front of him. If he wanted to see everyone clearly, he had to look up.
He then lowered his eyelids and chuckled. "Everyone, this isn't the way to treat a guest. I don't have the habit of looking up at others!"
"Kid, what did you say?" An old man asked. His voice was like a big bell that reverberated in this space, causing pain in the eardrums. There was also a kind of power that made people fearful.
If it were someone else, they might really be in awe. However, Ren Baqian had been through the market of Dayao's imperial court and was immune to this kind of situation.
In Dayao's imperial court, there were two things that needed to be done to suppress others.
The louder the voice and the bigger the fist.
Ren Baqian remained unmoved and said, "You need to maintain a minimum level of respect for a guest from another group of humans, a civilization that far surpasses yours, and a person who can bring you a future! You think that you control my life, but I control your future! "Ren Baqian wasn't moved at all.
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed, and many of the venerables looked surprised.
In fact, many people still didn't know what was going on.
The bell rang 12 times, indicating that something important had happened and that everyone needed to make a decision together.
This kind of thing was rare in the history of the Tiandao Alliance.
The last time it happened was 100 years ago, when a group of warriors who were preparing to leave the land of exile were killed.
Li Fu only knew that Xu Wuming had killed a group of people. In fact, there were also venerables who went to eliminate the experts in other places.
"You are very bold!" the old woman said.
"It's just a reasonable request!" Ren Baqian laughed and then raised his voice. "Everyone, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Zhao Prince Consort of Dayao. Of course, this is only a part of me. In addition, I'm a descendant of another group of humans who left the Lancang Region. I'm a member of the League of Legends and the captain of the ONEPIECE exploration team, Nico Robin. I need treatment that matches my identity! "
The air suddenly froze as Ren Baqian spoke.
The dozen or so venerables were shocked.
With their cultivation and status, as well as their many years of experience, it could be said that nothing could make them lose their composure.
However, after hearing Ren Baqian's words, everyone couldn't keep calm.
"What did you say?"
It wasn't one person who spoke, but several people who questioned him at the same time.
Ren Baqian spread out his hands and asked, "Do you still want me to look up and talk to you?"
"The 42 statues here are the 42 seniors who founded the Temple of Heaven back then!" a gentle voice said.
"So? It didn't stop you from stepping on them! Or do you want to come down? "Ren Baqian smiled kindly.
"How dare you!" An aura came pressing down from the sky like a mountain trying to suppress Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian smiled and wasn't moved at all.
Another aura came from the sky and protected Ren Baqian.
"Ning Yujiang, this isn't in line with how we treat our guests!"
"What kind of guest is he? He's just a kid full of nonsense! "
"Whether I'm full of nonsense or not isn't something you can decide alone."
"Hmph!"
Ren Baqian said at the right time, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not … There will always be a way to prove it. Don't you even have the courage to face it? Or are some of you afraid of something? "
"Ridiculous!"
"Ning Yujiang!" After the old lady stopped Ning Yujiang, she slowly said, "Each of these 42 statues represents an ancestor who founded the Temple of Heaven. The reason why we are standing here is that each of us has inherited the will of an ancestor.
However, as you said, you are a very important guest. If what you said is proven to be true, then you naturally deserve to be treated with courtesy. If what you said is proven to be false, you definitely won't be able to bear our anger!
"Now, I'll give you a choice. Do you still want to be treated in accordance with your status? I can tell you that if you are honest now, it's not too late! "
Ren Baqian sneered in his heart. Child's play.
If I show my cowardice now, doesn't that mean that my words can't be trusted?
He immediately opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment, there was a slight tingling in the back of his head as if he had been bitten by something.
Ren Baqian opened his mouth, and his expression suddenly changed because he realized that he couldn't make a sound!
The old lady in the distance looked at him mockingly.
However, it was only for a moment before Ren Baqian spoke again.
"I want treatment in accordance with my status!"
The old lady's expression immediately changed. How was this possible?
Did the Soul Worm fail?
One had to know that the Soul Worm could transform between real and fake, enter the sea of knowledge of others, and control their consciousness. It was an extremely precious thing in the world. It didn't exist in this land of exile at all. Out of the three that were left behind, only one remained after so many years.
This was an important matter, so she took it out to use, but it actually failed?
At this moment, on a planet in Ren Baqian's sea of knowledge, a thumb-sized worm streaked across the sky like a gray line.
Looking at the ocean, mountains, plains, forests, rivers … The worm's eyes were filled with confusion.
Where is this?
Is this the sea of knowledge of a human? How can it be so big?
Where is the pearl?
I'm lost!
