Chapter 835: Light Festival and the Gambling Game
Xiling Divine Kingdom, Taoshan, this is the sacred land of Haotian in the human world, and it is also the highest place of Xiling Divine Sect.

The recent atmosphere in Momoyama is tense and depressing. The world-wide war against the Tang Dynasty ended, and the final result left many people dissatisfied.

Xiling nominally won the battle, but the headmaster died in the battle, the great priest Tianyu was seriously injured, the great priest Judgment never returned to Taoshan afterwards, and the throne of light... well, it has always been empty.

The leader died in the battle, and none of the three major gods stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. The remaining senior leaders of the cult either wanted to take care of things but did not have the prestige, or were instructed by Xu Xin not to do anything that would cause trouble, and then the whole Taoshan was People are panicked.

Therefore, when a tall, fat girl in white came to Taoshan with a fat man and a semi-wasted old man, no one noticed anything unusual.

The goddess came to the Xiling Divine Kingdom, taking Chen Pipi and the viewer with her. Taoshan was her sacred land on earth. She walked in this sacred mountain, patrolling her territory calmly and naturally.

The first place she went to was not the Temple of Light, which believed in light the most, nor the Temple of Judgment, which was already controlled by Xu Xin, but the Temple of Heavenly Mandate.

The interior of the Temple of Heaven is empty and quiet. The Great Priest of Heaven is lying on the bed at the deepest part of the temple. The dim light shines from the top of the temple and falls on his face. The wrinkles on his face appear to be getting deeper and deeper, showing his age. , as if he would die at any time.

Although Xu Xin did a lot to make the world-wide war against the Tang Dynasty a victory, he only reduced the unnecessary sacrifices at the bottom. As for the confrontation at the top, he did not interfere too much.

After the Battle of Qingxia, Xu Xin went to Chang'an. The Xiling Allied Forces that penetrated deeply into the territory of the Tang Kingdom naturally became the target of the remaining forces that the Tang Kingdom gradually gathered. Naturally, the leader Tianyu Great Priest was the first to bear the brunt.

When the Battle of the Tang Dynasty ended, the Great Priest Tianyu dragged his old body back to the temple. He did not do anything. After driving Cheng Lixue and other deacons of the Tianyu Department out of the temple, he calmly waited for the return of God Haotian. That day of the country.

He is the Taoist priest who can best see the future, so he naturally knows the extent of his injuries. Therefore, I don’t want to be disturbed by others in their last years, and I also want to maintain the last dignity of my life.

There was a sudden sound in the dark and quiet Tianman Temple. Someone actually came to disturb the peace before the death of the god? The Heavenly Priest opened his eyes with some difficulty, looked over there, and saw the girl in white walking towards him.

He understood a lot after just one glance. His eyes regained their luster, and there was a bit of relief in his old wrinkles, revealing the most sincere and happy smile.

The goddess walked to the bed and looked at him quietly.

The Great Priest Tianyu said humbly and sincerely: "Being able to return to your arms is my greatest wish in this life."

The goddess's hand fell on his face, as if she were caring for a baby. There was still no emotion on her face, but she began to exude a special aura.

The great priest Tianyu murmured: "You came back a little early."

When he was in Chang'an City, he had met Sangsang and predicted that the girl would shine brightly in Taoshan. But today, all the predictions have been messed up by Xu Xin, but Sangsang still returned to Taoshan. They are also preparing to shine a bright light and hold a Light Festival.

The goddess said calmly: "Time's tricks are indeed not fun."

When the Heavenly Lady walked out of the Temple of Heaven, she glanced at the black and murderous Judgment Temple, and then walked towards the Temple of Light. In the Temple of Light, a thousand-year-old lamp is lit. No matter whether the previous Great Priest of Light is imprisoned or the throne is empty, the lamp is always on, which is the symbol of this temple.

On this day, the eternal lamp in the Temple of Light was extinguished, because the goddess walked into the temple. She is the light and does not need symbols.

Countless flowers are in full bloom on this day in the fields of Peach Mountain in Xiling. Peach blossoms that have not yet reached their season bloom all over the mountains and plains, indicating the return of Haotian.

On the day when Peach Mountain bloomed, Xiling Taoshan, which was leaderless and frightened, once again had an owner. The great priest Tianyu reappeared in the world and called on all devout believers in the Haotian world to come to Taoshan to hold a light festival.

News of the Light Festival quickly spread throughout the countries in the Haotian world. Tang, Southern Jin, Song, Dahe, etc. all sent envoys. There are more devout believers and people who can be involved in this matter, and they are also coming to Taoshan.

The Light Sacrifice is the grandest and highest-level sacrificial ceremony of Haotian Dao Sect. It can only be held when Haotian sends a miracle to the world.

It has been many years since the human world has seen any miracle from Haotian, so the Festival of Light has not been held for many years either. That is to say, the most knowledgeable priest of the Xiling Temple stood up to take charge of the overall situation. Only then did this highest-level sacrificial ceremony proceed smoothly according to the process.

The Light Festival is a very special ceremony, and the sacrifice required is also very special. It can be a sword, a sheep, or even a grass. But these sacrifices must contain the purest faith, and sometimes they are the original objects of Haotian's miracles, so they are extremely rare.

As the shadow of eternal night falls, the overall belief in Haotian in the Haotian world is showing signs of decline, so it becomes extremely difficult to find such sacrifices.

In today's world, the human sword of Sword Saint Liu Bai may be an extremely pure thing, but his belief in Haotian... well, if Liu Bai's belief is okay, why has he not dared to break through the fifth realm for so many years.

The reason why the goddess accepted Xu Xin's suggestion and chose to capture Chen Pipi was because this guy was one of the few rare and excellent sacrifices.

He is the son of Zhishou Guanzhu, and his mother is from the lineage of the Guangming Great Priest who went to the South China Sea six hundred years ago. His body is filled with the most noble blood of the Taoist sect.

Such a person was a direct disciple of the Master. Is there any more suitable sacrifice than such a pure-blooded apostate?
Even the goddess thinks that Chen Pipi is a very pure sacrifice. Before he became a master, he was a devout believer in Haotian. Even if he became a disciple of the academy, he still had faith in Haotian, so he was captured and imprisoned in a quiet pavilion waiting for the Light Festival.

News of the Light Sacrifice spread throughout the Haotian world, and various messages were fed back to the Xiling Temple. As the day of the sacrifice drew closer, there were many new faces inside and outside Taoshan, and more and more information was known to the goddess.

That night, the goddess looked up at the bright moon in the sky and felt that it was a bit dazzling.

"The aura of Buddha, and...that person..."

The goddess of heaven suddenly cast her gaze in the direction of Moon Wheel Kingdom. What happened there could not be hidden from her. She sensed Xu Xin's increasingly difficult-to-perceive aura, and she felt a little irritable.

She knew she had to speed up her progress, otherwise, that bet...
