Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 460 - 229: The Holy Spring Sect’s Scripture and the Dark Old Calendar Era

Chapter 460: Chapter 229: The Holy Spring Sect’s Scripture and the Dark Old Calendar Era

Lin Feng nodded calmly:

"With Lord Bishop valuing me so highly, it’s essential that I understand the illustrious past of the Holy Spring Sect, especially since I’ll be dealing with the Church when I head to the Holy City in the future."

At this point, Shen Yue had already advanced to Late Tier One, reaching a Level 17 evolution as an Elite Assistant Priest, with her strength significantly increased.

The main reason was that she followed Lin Feng last night to expose and apprehend the traitor in the Upper People’s District, capturing a total of nine members and successfully preventing them from sabotaging the giant lens.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the other party.

At this moment, Shen Yue was in a great mood, not having expected to advance four levels in less than a week—something she had never dared to imagine for several years.

Not even in her dreams had it happened this quickly.

While this achievement was indeed significant, the records alone wouldn’t have directly allowed Shen Yue to advance to Late Tier One...

The main reason was that the current Oasis Church was extremely lacking in high-end combat power. They needed to ensure the safety of the Oasis Battleship while sending top-tier forces to the tournament.

Although the Oasis was now under Lin Feng’s protection, his primary responsibility was to guard the Key. Capturing the traitor in the Upper District, if not for Lin Feng’s keen interest in the secret weapon of the Oasis Battleship, he couldn’t have been bothered to deal with these unarmed civilians.

Thus, the Church needed to quickly enhance the strength of capable cultivators among their ranks.

The initial Combat Priests, like Zheng Yan Ying, had naturally become Late-Stage Evolvers. And those like Shen Yue, who had practical combat experience, could be promoted to strengthen the Church’s power in the Oasis.

Whether as an Elite Assistant Priest or a Combat Priest, those at Late Tier One belong to the Church’s middle class.

They had already risen above the lower layers.

Even in the Holy City, with its population of millions, they held a certain power and status.

Thus, upon Shen Yue’s promotion to Late Tier One as an Elite Assistant Priest, she could apply to transfer from Oasis Town back to the Holy City for development.

However, once she returned, her power and status wouldn’t be as high as in Oasis, but the living conditions and prospects would certainly be much better.

Hence, Shen Yue was in a particularly good mood. Her previous worries about the Li Family and other rebels causing trouble had now vanished.

Her earlier all-or-nothing gamble had been to use the merit of suppressing the Li Family rebellion to advance to Late Tier One, and her goal had been achieved...

Now, she hoped that both sides would stick to the plan, compromising with each other until this farce concluded.

Once Holy Spring Day passed in four days, and the Oasis Battleship entered the Zhuma Divine Hall area, they could follow the Pilgrimage Convoy back to the Holy City, thousands of kilometers away.

What made Shen Yue even happier was that Lin Feng would also go to the Holy City for further development after this matter concluded.

This meant that her lucky star would continue to guide her, and they could maintain their cooperation in the Holy City.

By now, Shen Yue had realized that the man before her was her destined benefactor.

Since their first encounter, Lin Feng had offered Shen Yue aid that she might have encountered only once in a lifetime.

"Alright then, if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask. This book is probably after the fifth edition, right? It looks like no one’s read it in many years."

Shen Yue picked up a copy of the Holy Spring Sect’s Holy Scripture and the Elite Assistant Priest’s Mandatory One from the nearby shelf and sat down beside Lin Feng, flipping through as she spoke.

Lin Feng’s lips twitched:

"This is already the seventh edition. Seems like it’s been untouched for a century or two."

Shen Yue nodded, as if this was no surprise:

"Pretty much. We studied the Holy Spring Scripture in our Church school from a young age, more like a basic textbook, reviewed annually for exams..."

"But after the missionary’s graduation exam for Evolver Tier One, this book isn’t really tested anymore. It’s just that the old doctrines are out of fashion, both in preachment credibility and organizational management. The Holy Spring Scripture is outdated."

"Only the old die-hards in the Divine Hall still harp on about it incessantly."

"Now we study the Holy Scripture, which was later compiled and published by the Undying Saint, part of the Church’s operational guidelines."

Lin Feng nodded approvingly, agreeing that times were changing, and the circumstances faced by humanity and the Church today were definitely different from thousands of years ago.

As the Divine Envoy of the Master of the Holy Spring, the Undying Saint was well-positioned to issue new statutes better suited to the times.

But there were certainly other factors at play.

Could it be as Zong Shiyue mentioned, that the All Gods born of the Shepherd’s Method, during their slumber, are susceptible to possession by similar sovereigns looking to usurp godhood?

Did the Undying Saint seek to secure a divine seat, prompting the Master of the Holy Spring to express such a helpless sigh?

Lin Feng pondered as he continued to review the revised Holy Spring Scripture.

Beside him, a few glances at the Elite Assistant Priest’s mandatory book had Shen Yue’s mind wandering, making her sleepy.

Her eyelids drooped, and her head started bobbing up and down.

Lin Feng glanced over and was reminded of early morning study sessions from his student days, choosing not to disturb her further.

For someone as jumpy as Shen Yue, expecting her to sit quietly and concentrate on reading was probably harder than sending her on a mission.

She was here in the library with the intention of seeking Lin Feng out.
