Chapter 754: 722. The Purpose of Pope Lao Deng
Honestly, when it was only the Guardian Slave Mark restricting Cha Naixue, Xia Feng was still a bit worried about her.
But now with the backing of the Nailuo Realm, Xia Feng no longer worries about what tricks Cha Naixue might pull.
Although the Nailuo Realm instantly raised Cha Naixue's power to a level that could threaten him and Miss Mu, with just one thought, Xia Feng could use the Nailuo Realm to strip away everything she possesses.
Even if Cha Naixue finally ascends to godhood, she would remain under his control for life.
One has to say, the Nailuo Realm is indeed very useful.
Although he cannot use it himself, it directly grants him a combat power with a physical strength equivalent to the Wise Man Level.
This gives him a great sense of security.
"Let me warn you again, if you harbor any ill intentions, I will reclaim the Nailuo Realm."
Xia Feng tugged at the soft cheek of her sweet little face, smiling without mirth, "Weigh the consequences carefully, don't make me angry, okay~ Sister Nai Xue~"
Looking at the feigned gentle Xia Feng, Cha Naixue lowered her eyelids, trembling slightly, pursed her lips, and whispered softly, obediently: "Yes... Master Little Feng."
Seeing her compliance, Xia Feng ignored her and headed to the edge of the radiation field.
So what if Dipus is dead, he still left such a problem for him before dying.
The rays of bizarre colorful light in the radiation field were moving unpredictably, and all matter within the field had been annihilated.
Xia Feng tried throwing a piece of Yao Stone inside, which instantly turned to ashes, incredibly terrifying.
Mu Qingtong frowned and tried probing inside with spiritual power, which also turned to nothingness instantly, causing her soul to feel a stabbing pain.
Neither matter nor non-material could enter.
At the center of the field, the glowing Spirit Paper full of divinity quietly floated.
"This is difficult." Xia Feng held his forehead.
"For this type of radiation field to run out of energy and dissipate naturally would take at least a thousand years."
Cha Naixue, having obtained a millennium of knowledge from the Miao Master elder monster, spotted the crux of the issue, "Taking it out from the physical and spiritual levels is impossible now, it can only be tackled from a higher-dimensional concept, so the only way now is Concept Skill!"
Concept Skill… Xia Feng frowned, it sounds easy but where to find such a thing.
Most Concept Skills are S-Class or Divine Authority.
You have to find another S-Class to get this S-Class in front of you....
It's a bit laughable.
"That's right."
Cha Naixue frowned, suddenly speaking earnestly, "There's one more important thing I haven't said."
"Hm?" Xia Feng was puzzled.
"Inheriting the Miao Master's knowledge system also gave me some secrets she knew."
Cha Naixue said solemnly, "Currently, the upper echelons of the Empire and various factions are preparing to compete for three ultimate treasures, which are the 'Fire Seed', 'Holy Relics', and 'Sumeru Throne'."
"The use of the Fire Seed is unknown."
"The Holy Relics are the key to inheriting the Divine Positions of the Three Saint Star Gods, attracting the attention of most Spirit Masters to the Holy Spirit Temple in Area 41, though all factions have already gathered there, stalemated, no one dares act rashly."
"The Sumeru Throne, one of its abilities can seize a god's Divine position, giving the user direct qualification to become a god."
Listening to Cha Naixue's explanation, Xia Feng leaned back tactically, realizing he seems to have a direct or indirect connection to the struggle for these three treasures.
And what's most surprising to him is that the Sumeru Throne can actually seize a god's Divine position?
Jiang Qiue had informed him that the path to godhood is the process of elevating the Spiritual Base into a Divine position.
If someone obtains the Sumeru Throne and successfully takes a god's Divine position, even if it's a broken Divine position, as long as they step into the Wise Man Realm, they are guaranteed to become a god!
This is an irresistible temptation for both Wise Men and the Holy Realm.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng understood many things.
Dipus had fought for the Sumeru King Order, meaning that Dipus or perhaps the Pope probably owns one of the Sumeru Seats.
The imminent start of the Sumeru Throne battle has all factions eager and active.
The Pope made the Red Moon descend at this crucial moment, perhaps for the Sumeru Throne?
If the Pope ultimately acquires the Sumeru Throne, whose Divine position would he seize?
Red Moon? Or... Black Moon?!
With Black Moon resisting erosion, the Red Moon seeming to be the Pope's helper, it's highly likely they plan to seize Black Moon's Divine position!
Only the current self-preserving Black Moon could possibly have its Divine position seized by the Pope, a Light-Holding Sage!
So that's it... After understanding the Pope's aim, Xia Feng grasped many more things.
Ye Li Dongjun orchestrated the Garden massacre, wrongly killed a hundred thousand troops of White Emperor City, committing such monstrous acts, all for the path to godhood.
Does the Empire's upper echelon condone Ye Li Dongjun's actions?
Or is it the Great Lord Business protecting Ye Li Dongjun, helping him obtain this last Sumeru Seat.
In total, there are nine Sumeru Seats, each attained differently, it's unknown if the methods for the first eight are as ruthless and inhumane as the ninth.
Xia Feng fell into thought, only knowing for now that among the first eight, the Black Moon Pope probably occupies one seat, the identities of the remaining seven are unknown.
In fact, he isn't very interested in the 'ability to seize Divine positions', after all, Mu Qingtong... is destined to become a god!
It's only a question of how long it takes and whether she can live to becoming a god.
Therefore, seizing Divine positions is something neither Miss Mu nor he would stoop to.
But the Sumeru Throne likely doesn't just have the ability to seize Divine positions, perhaps it has other even more impressive, more alluring abilities?
Anyway, if possible, Xia Feng also actually wants to try competing for it.
The saying goes, since we're here....
Clearing his thoughts, Xia Feng shook his head, deciding to set aside this matter for now.
Now it's more important to obtain the Moon Time Divine Domain, learn the S-Class Spirit Clothes, to have some ability to protect himself in the upcoming Sumeru Throne battle.
A thought flashed through his heart, Xia Feng looked at the two women, "You two stay here, I'm going to find Jiang Qiue."
Cha Naixue couldn't help but widen her eyes, wanting to speak but stopping, she's somewhat afraid to be alone with Mu Qingtong....
In fact, these months of interaction, compared to Little Feng, she's actually more scared of Mu Qingtong.
This woman, with just one look, makes her feel a sense of humiliation that she wants to bow her head and doesn't dare to maintain eye contact.
But Xia Feng had already left without turning back.
Currently, with the Pope in the Star Realm, Xia Feng doesn't know when this old rascal would return, so he couldn't afford to delay, quickly obtaining the S-Class Spirit Paper is the only way to feel at ease.
Having disguised himself, he sped across the sky above Black Moon City.
In three days, Black Moon City had already restored basic order with the assistance of the Holy Department and the Apocalypse, and the destroyed buildings rapidly regained their original appearance.
On the streets, the bustling voices filled the air, the hustle and bustle resumed.
As if the scenes of war three days prior had never happened.
However, just as Xia Feng flew out, not far away, he saw a dozen streams of light rushing toward Babel Tower direction like comets crashing into Earth.
Leading them was Jiang Qiue.
Trailing far behind her from the rear was an immense pressure of a Wise Man, like a dark cloud over the city, rushing at the speed of light! With murderous intent soaring into the sky!
"Get back to Babel Tower quickly!" Jiang Qiue's urgent voice sounded in his heart.
The chill of death pierced Xia Feng's soul, intense pain surged, his expression changed slightly, then he turned and ran.
