Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Fang Junhao furrowed his brows and asked cautiously, "What's going on with this Holy Song? Why is it different from before? Who dared to alter the Holy Song?"

Xiao Xingyi shook his head slightly, his expression peculiar, "I'm not sure. As far as I know, about three months ago, on a certain day, numerous priests were envisioning the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire and the Radiant Holy Altar. Suddenly, someone started singing this altered Holy Song. Tens of thousands of priests present followed suit, and within just a few days, it spread throughout the entire Main Temple.

Afterward, the Judgement Holy Hall and Light Holy Hall jointly investigated the source of this Holy Song but couldn't find anything. The priests present unanimously claimed that while envisioning the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, they were inspired by the Holy Fire and naturally sang this new Holy Song. They also found that reciting this song could enhance their Pure Fire Technique and Divine Fire.

Strangely, on that day, the range covered by the Holy Fire in the Underground Farm expanded by a full fifty miles. So, after repeated discussions by the Bright Sage Master and the nine Light Saints, they could only conclude that this was indeed an inspiration from the Light, a divine miracle."

Xiao Xingyi had already returned to the Main Temple by then, personally experiencing this event, knowing that the Light Holy Hall actually accepted it reluctantly, with clenched noses.

By then, this Holy Song had spread among millions of priests, all of whom genuinely believed from their hearts that it was a divine miracle by the Light.

The Divine Sect couldn't possibly dismiss all these millions of priests as heretics, right? That would shake the foundation of the Divine Sect.

Moreover, judging from the situation back then and from these people's words, it did have a semblance of 'divine miracle.' Eventually, after discussions within the Light Holy Hall, five people believed the lyrics did not violate the fundamental teachings. They couldn't reach a consensus, so they consulted the King Ming and reluctantly accepted this new Holy Song.

Currently, four veteran Light Saints believe this is an act of blasphemy and want to restore the order.

Fang Junhao contemplated with a puzzled expression, "Bright Lord? Glorious Holy Thunder, initiating all phenomena? Bright Tribulation Fire, originating all transformations?"

"The term 'Bright Lord' existed during the time of the Seventh Generation Sect Leader. The Holy Song back then wasn't like this. You can check the classics to see that after the Seventh Generation Sect Leader refined the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, it was concealed. As for 'initiating all phenomena' and 'originating all transformations,' many priests practiced 'Ming King Seated Lotus Temple,' believing that the Holy Thunder splitting open the Dark World, the Tribulation Fire cleansing heaven and earth, had the powers of a creator, capable of birthing all things and unifying all things."

While Xiao Xingyi explained, his expression grew even more peculiar, "I have also re-envisioned the Ming King Seated Lotus, discovering that the atmosphere is indeed vastly different from the previous Kings seated on Lotuses. Even my own Divine Fire has seen some improvement. I personally speculate that perhaps the previous generations of Sect Leaders were limited in their abilities, unable to express the true essence of the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire—"

He then furrowed his brows, "This matter is also debated internally within the Divine Sect. Apparently, four Saints agreed, thinking it's only natural. Our sect's savior, the Bright Lord, naturally should have the authority of a creator! The Master of Light can birth all things and unify all things. Moreover, there are two neutral Saints, and three express dissent, but they also dare not oppose. As for the Bright Sage Master, his attitude is unclear."

At this moment, the Main Temple of the Divine Sect has gathered eight million priests, all of whom are the most devout Light believers, extremely fervent in their faith in the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire.

Even the three Light Saints of the Ninth Realm Emperor Rank did not dare to say that the Master of Light does not possess the divine power of birthing all things and unifying all things.

Fang Junhao nodded slightly; so that's the truth.

In the past, he was also extremely fervent in his faith in the Light, believing that the Master of Light, destined to split open the dark and refine the world, must be omnipotent.

Fang Junhao also thoroughly studied the teachings of the Divine Sect, knowing that during the Seventh Generation Sect Leader's time, the Holy Song did indeed contain the words 'Bright Lord,' only changed after the Seventh's demise.

This made Fang Junhao suspicious, wondering if this new Holy Song might really be a divine miracle, inspired by the Light, restoring the original order?

Fang Junhao pondered that he must find an opportunity to personally experience the Ming King Seated Lotus Temple and see for himself.

"Then where is Ming King's Highness?" Fang Junhao turned his gaze toward the direction of the Great Ming Hall, "Could he be inside handling sect affairs?"

He still found it bothersome to talk with Xiao Xingyi, as he could learn about the sect's leaders' attitudes from him.

As for the matters entrusted to him by the Regent, he still needed to discuss them with Ming King's Highness.

Xiao Xingyi didn't mind this remark. His purpose in personally receiving Fang Junhao was to exert pressure on this Demon Suppression Envoy, so that he made the correct assessment of the situation.

He wasn't foolish enough to think that he could sway Fang Junhao's resolve with just a few words.

"Not today." Xiao Xingyi shook his head, "Come with me. Ming King's Highness is inspecting the cultivation base opened at the rear of the Main Temple. The Shennong Holy Hall has cultivated and improved a new Spiritual Medicine based on the technological data provided by the Forest Group, inviting the Ming King for inspection."

He paused, his eyes again gleaming with an unusual light, "This matter is regarded by Ming King as the current Divine Sect's top priority. It's said that if this Spiritual Medicine can be mass-produced, the range of the Underground Farm can continue to expand by another two hundred miles, doubling the income."

Fang Junhao was slightly stunned upon hearing this, knowing that the 'Shennong Holy Hall' was a newly established institution by the Ming King.

This Holy Hall has three responsibilities: firstly, directly managing the Underground Farm of the Main Temple; secondly, guiding and overseeing all districts, all incense halls in their cultivation, animal husbandry, forestry, and fisheries; thirdly, mimicking the Outer Heaven Demon to cultivate Spirit Species using biological technology.

Especially the last responsibility, the reason the Ming King established the Shennong Holy Hall was also to prevent the lifeline of the Divine Sect from being controlled by the Outer Heaven Demons.

Surprisingly, the agricultural technology advancements of the Shennong Holy Hall have been astounding; starting four months ago, various districts and incense halls began receiving various Spiritual Medicine seeds from the Shennong Holy Hall, reportedly increasing yields by three to fifty percent over previous amounts. If cultivated according to their taught methods, yields can increase by another twenty percent.

This is what Fang Junhao admired about the Ming King.

Currently, these Spiritual Medicine seeds have not yet reached the harvest phase, but if the people of the 'Shennong Holy Hall' are not lying, then all districts and incense halls will be reliant on the Main Temple, thus deepening the control of the Main Temple over the districts and incense halls, combined with those 800,000 priests, it's a multifaceted approach.

Fang Junhao wondered what kind of Spiritual Medicine it was to be so highly valued by the Ming King?

He followed Xiao Xingyi into the five-layer farm beneath the Main Temple's Starship, finding the current Main Temple vastly different from when he left last year.

Inside the farm, there was a bustling scene of activity, yet everything was orderly. The priests passing by were mostly energetic and full of spirit, walking with a brisk pace.

The defense forces within the Main Temple have also been greatly strengthened.

Fang Junhao saw dozens of Type 7 and Type 8 Combat Robots along the way, as well as numerous automated turrets infused with Conceptual Power.

Part of this is funded by the Heavenly Demon faction, and part is self-produced by the Divine Sect.

Furthermore, the armor and force field generators outside the Main Temple have also been significantly enhanced—they are the handiwork of the Divine Sect's Mechanical Masters.

It's said that half a year ago, the Divine Sect acquired a large number of highly skilled Mechanical Masters, allowing them to independently build war machines and even possessing the capability to manufacture warships.

Under the fleet of the Invincible Dharma King, there are thirty starships and 800 Heavenly Demon Armors, all crafted by them.

These Mechanical Masters not only provide the Divine Sect with ample war machines, but have also begun to sell externally.

Some suspect that the Mechanical Masters acquired by the Divine Sect may have come from the Heresy Prison of the Mechanical God Temple.

This has caused the relationship between the Mechanical God Temple and the Light Holy Sect to rapidly deteriorate, with the Mechanical God Temple sending envoys twice consecutively to the Invincible Dharma King and Ming King for accountability.

However, both the Invincible Dharma King and Ming King dismiss the concerns of the Mechanical God Temple, unwilling to return these Mechanical Masters.

The people of the Mechanical God Temple are busy extending the life of their 'Mechanical God', unable to spare the effort to confront the Divine Sect.

The Invincible Dharma King and Ming King merely dispute over the ownership of these Mechanical Masters.

The Invincible Dharma King believes these heretic Mechanical Masters from the Mechanical God Temple should be sent to the frontlines of Beicheng to support the Beicheng District combat.

The Ming King contends that these Mechanical Masters are not followers of the Divine Sect and cannot be treated as congregants, and even if they joined the Divine Sect, they should be managed by the Mechanical Holy Hall.

This has stirred discontent among the followers under the Invincible Dharma King, deeply dissatisfied with Li Guchan.

They also suspect the raid on the Heresy Prison might be related to Li Guchan.

As a result, the Regent took the blame for Li Guchan but got no benefit at all; how could this guy manage to have the tens of thousands of heretic Mechanical Masters fall under the jurisdiction of the Ming King and keep a tight lip, saying nothing?

As for Fang Junhao himself, he outwardly agrees with the crowd, while inwardly he thinks Ming King did a brilliant job.

Although Fang Junhao doesn't know exactly what Ming King did, the acquisition of these Mechanical Masters by the Divine Sect saved a lot of expenses.

Fang Junhao and Xiao Xingyi soon arrived at the cultivation base of the Shennong Holy Hall, where they met 'Ming King'.

This figure wasn't wearing the Hidden Dragon Battle Armor but was clad in lightweight armor, kneeling in the field, intently observing a two-foot-tall, entirely fiery red Spirit Grass.

Even though his face is masked, Fang Junhao instantly recognized this figure's identity upon first glance.

Just by sensing the Divine Fire Sub-Body within and the perception of the Light Seal, there couldn't be a mistake.

However, Fang Junhao's attention was immediately drawn to a towering golden armored figure nearly two yards tall standing next to 'Ming King'.

Wearing dazzling Heavenly Demon Armor, this figure was enveloped in brilliant and dazzling Light Power, as blinding as a torch.

He stood in attendance behind Ming King, entirely motionless like a solid golden pillar.

"Dharma King Bai Mei?" Fang Junhao narrowed his eyes.

Fang Junhao was always focused on the internal affairs of the Divine Sect and knew the current situation of Dharma King Bai Mei.

This individual was punished by the Judge Divine Envoy, required to wear the Dragon Armor 'Divine Mark' for 10 hours each day for 50 years.

It's said Ming King spent a fortune to have three top heretic Mechanical Masters collaborate in crafting it for Dharma King Bai Mei.

This is a Ninth Realm Emperor Rank Battle Armor, yet wearing it requires enduring the immense pain of Divine Fire burning, with 999 retractable Golden Needles deeply embedded within the flesh.

What startled Fang Junhao was observing 'Dharma King Bai Mei', perceiving his Light Power as vast and deep as the ocean.

Fang Junhao couldn't discern the true strength nor weakness of this individual, but when 'Dharma King Bai Mei' glanced over, Fang Junhao felt a tremor in his heart, secretly apprehensive.

Previously, Fang Junhao's subordinates told him about this, but he didn't believe; now, however, he thinks his subordinates simply lacked sufficient cultivation to recognize the horror of 'Dharma King Bai Mei'.

What exactly did this figure experience in the battle of Tianzhou? How did he survive? Why has he achieved such formidable power?
