A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 202: Visitors from the Divine Court

Is the power of a Prayer Technique apprentice strong?

It can deceive the Divine Spirit, so of course it’s strong.

But from another perspective, this ability doesn’t provide much combat strength, and those without firm resolve might even affect themselves when using it.

Moreover,

dealing with deities is akin to walking a tightrope, with any slight mistake making one fall into an abyss of no return.

During Baiyu’s first use of the Spiritual Prayer Ceremony, getting such a quick response from the Lord of Radiance and being recognized as a true believer was due to inadvertently harnessing the power of the Prayer Technique apprentice.

Otherwise, achieving such an effect would have been impossible.

This time,

Baiyu truly activated the power of the Prayer Technique apprentice.

His Spiritual Line became thick and tenacious, radiating pure light while praying to the Lord of Radiance; he was like the most fanatic of fanatics, the kind of believer the deities favored the most.

The next second,

Baiyu felt an indescribable gaze from the beyond focusing on this place. However, this gaze was blocked outside by the divine country of the Black Moon of the fifteenth.

He originally thought that a collision between deities would ensue.

But unexpectedly,

after the gaze of that indescribable great existence came, it promptly retreated faster than a rabbit.

Baiyu was dumbfounded.

Hey, you’re a deity!

Where’s your dignity?

Your follower is calling for help and you won’t even take a look?

Baiyu’s impression of the Lord of Radiance quickly diminished. However, when he looked down, he found himself holding a scorching Spiritual Spell without knowing when it appeared.

Spiritual Spells are a variant of Spiritual Technique Scrolls.

Mostly created by powerful individuals, they can compress spiritual techniques directly into Spiritual Spells without consuming a Spiritual Technique Scroll, providing them for others to use.

Deities especially love using this method.

It is said that once in the Steam and Machinery God Church, an archbishop defected, causing severe harm, and the God of Mechanics descended three Spiritual Spells instantaneously slaying the traitor.

In other words,

these Spiritual Spells are more prestigious than Spiritual Technique Scrolls.

As for the power of Spiritual Technique Scrolls, it varies; Baiyu lightly infused a trace of Blood Qi into the Spiritual Spell, immediately acquiring its specific information.

Celestial Yang Purifying Light Spell.

Sealed within is a Celestial Yang Purifying Light Technique, a Tier Seven spiritual technique, capable of inflicting significant damage on wicked beings.

Is that all?

Baiyu felt a bit disappointed.

It seemed to him that the Lord of Radiance was not very effective, unable to compete with the Black Moon of the fifteenth, hence giving him this Spiritual Spell, suggesting he should count on his own luck?

He looked at the hustle and bustle in the distance.

The matter of the Spiritual Spell was set aside for now.

Regardless, whether leaving or venturing further here, the Black Moon Mark needed to be activated. This thing was unpredictable, and Baiyu only had a superficial understanding of it.

Of course.

He hadn’t noticed that within this divine country, apart from him, there were others present too.

...

In the distance,

four masked individuals stood at a distance.

The surroundings were filled with traces left by fierce ghosts and deformed entities after their death; the ground was uneven, and thick smoke and magma flowed, creating a very ghastly scene.

"The oppression this divine country exerts on us is immense, we can only use twenty to thirty percent of our strength, no wonder it’s an ancient divine spirit existing for countless years, even if its divine country is in ruin, losing all rationality, its residual instinctive rules, when falling upon us, are like an insurmountable mountain."

The voice of Hebo was low, his tone filled with awe.

The Young Commander led with a brilliant glint in his eyes: "The correct way to enter the Black Moon Divine Country is to obtain the Black Moon Curse, becoming a Black Moon Apostle; doing so would make the divine country’s rejection of us completely vanish.

But,

the Black Moon Curse has its pros and cons.

Moreover, Black Moon Apostles are few and far between, it’s been hard to find them in recent years."

The other three nodded in agreement.

The Black Moon of the fifteenth is one of the ancient divine spirits, its existence spans countless ages.

According to the records stored in the Divine Court, the Black Moon Apostles once flourished, establishing the Black Moon Church and ruling a region.

However, later,

after going through changes, their deity encountered problems.

The holy city was destroyed, and the Black Moon’s heritage was lost, resulting in its current form.

Nowadays, Black Moon Apostles are like rare creatures.

Because they can only be born under the moonlight of the Full Moon of the Black Moon of the fifteenth, and it must be someone who has not cultivated any Blood Qi or obtained Extraordinary Abilities, an ordinary person.

Even if all the conditions are met,

those who become Black Moon Apostles are extremely rare.

Coupled with their constant competition and being hunted from all sides,

and the Black Moon Mark placing a heavy burden on people, alongside frequent mysterious incidents, their numbers dwindled further.

After all,

even if they obtained the Black Moon Mark, they remain ordinary humans for the time being.

Facing mysterious incidents or other high-level Black Moon Apostles, escape is nearly impossible.

The Young Commander’s beautiful eyes showed a trace of weariness, his voice severe:

"We can no longer afford to delay; the layers of the Black Moon Divine Country can even replicate the deepest environments of the mind, each place perilous, we must quickly find the source and reclaim the Eye of the Black Moon."

The Eye of the Black Moon concerns the mission of the Divine Court, it cannot be taken lightly.

Should it be obtained,

the Divine Court could negotiate with the remaining forces of the Black Moon Church, even cultivating their own Black Moon Apostles to profit from the Black Moon of the fifteenth.

A chaotic, fallen, irrational, instinct-action-based ancient divine spirit is a temptation no major force can refuse, there’s too much to be explored from it.

They have tarried too long on this layer, they must locate the Gatekeeper of this layer to proceed to the next one.

In the Black Moon Divine Country,

many are the suppressed spirits and monsters.

But there are also humans who once lived in the divine country; after the Black Moon went mad, these people remained, unaware of their own death.

And each layer of the divine country has a Guardian.

Naturally,

currently they’re referred to as the Gatekeeper.

To pass to the next layer, one must find this Gatekeeper and gain its approval.

These secretive pieces of information are the undisclosed knowledge of the Divine Court, obtained after extensive efforts and capturing several Black Moon Apostles, tragically, those apostles, knowing they’d die, almost all chose to self-destruct their Black Moon Mark, preventing their killers from obtaining it.

Except for fellow Black Moon Apostles who have means to suppress such self-destruction, outsiders, no matter how strong, can’t utilize it.

The four people swiftly passed through the city.

Soon after,

their eyes locked onto a little girl.

The appearance of the Gatekeeper is unpredictable, whatever form emerges is unsurprising, offending the Gatekeeper, however, would make survival in the Black Moon Divine Country a daunting task.

"Want to buy a flower?"

The little girl smiled warmly at the four, her grin innocent and charming: "One flower, one arm."
