Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 326 Prayer Ritual

Inside the inner court of the Crimson Moon Royal Court, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi sat facing each other, their palms pressed together. Spiritual energy converged between their palms like a rushing river, then swirled continuously after merging, generating new spiritual energy in the process, before finally returning to their respective bodies, repeating endlessly.

Pure spiritual energy overflowed from their bodies, forming a pale blue protective shield around them. The soft light from the luminous pearl shone through the shield onto their faces, giving them a sense of peace and tranquility.

Qin Xiaochuan felt the spiritual energy travel through his body and finally gather at the center of his forehead. As the spiritual energy gathered, the spiritual energy at the center of his forehead became more and more concentrated.

He kept his eyes on the spiritual energy between his eyebrows for nearly half an hour. Suddenly, he felt a heat rising from between his eyebrows, and a feeling of expansion spread from there, soon covering his entire body. He felt as if his whole body was enveloped by a warm current, and his body felt as if it were about to fly away. At the same time, the range of his mental space suddenly expanded by tens of meters.

After his mental space expanded, the original feeling of lightness gradually faded, and he returned to the original silence, with only the warm current remaining unchanged.

Guo Shiyi suddenly opened her eyes, a look of surprise on her face, and asked, "You broke through?"

"Yes, I'm at level 8 in spiritual power now." Qin Xiaochuan said with a happy expression. Although breaking through to level 8 in spiritual power was only a matter of time for him, he couldn't help but feel excited when it actually happened.

"Hmph, you've surpassed me again. No way, I have to catch up with you quickly," Guo Shiyi pouted and said coquettishly.

Qin Xiaochuan winked at her and said, "Hehe, then you'd better keep it up! Although I've already broken through, it doesn't mean I'll stagnate."

"Hmph, then I'll catch up with you too. Don't say another word, hurry up and cultivate with me," Guo Shiyi said arrogantly.

Just as Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi were about to continue their cultivation, the door to the cultivation room opened, and Han Kexin walked in. She glanced at the two of them and said in a detached tone, "Priest Mu came looking for you just now."

"What does he want from me?" Qin Xiaochuan asked curiously. After returning to Crescent City, Qin Xiaochuan spent most of his time practicing in the cultivation room. Apart from the time he took the initiative to seek out the Wood Priest, the Wood Priest had never taken the initiative to contact him.

"The prayer ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. The wood priest is coming to inform you so you can prepare yourself mentally," Han Kexin said.

"What is a prayer ceremony?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"It's the ceremony that determines the content of your Dustless Trial. On that day, the Fire Priest will pray to Goddess Nuwa in the sacrificial hall. Goddess Nuwa will then give instructions for the trial, and your Dustless Trial will officially begin," Han Kexin explained.

"Is the trial about to begin so soon? Their actions are a bit unexpectedly fast," Qin Xiaochuan frowned. He had originally thought that the Golden Priest would use cultivation as an excuse to keep him under house arrest in the inner court.

"I'm afraid they might have some kind of conspiracy, after all, this prayer ceremony is being held by the fire priest," Han Kexin said with a slight frown.

"Whatever their conspiracy, I'm not afraid of whatever tricks they pull now," Qin Xiaochuan said calmly. His spiritual power has now reached level 8, and with the support of the spiritual power in the Witch Ring and the spiritual space, he is confident that he can take on a level 9 spiritual mage one-on-one.

"Don't be too careless. The Buzhou Realm is not like the human world. It is far more dangerous than you can imagine, especially the Netherworld Mountains outside Crescent City. There are a large number of demonic beasts gathered there, and they are all very powerful. Even a super strong person with a spiritual power of level 9 would not dare to go deep into it alone. I'm afraid they will put the trial mission in the Netherworld Mountains."

"I think Sister Kexin is right. We can't be too careless. You've gotten a little too cocky lately," Guo Shiyi chimed in.

"Do I?" Qin Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly.

"Of course, it seems like you don't care about anyone anymore."

"Okay, now that you mention it, I do seem to have gotten a bit cocky lately. I'll definitely keep a low profile from now on. Thanks for the timely reminder, Ms. Guo," Qin Xiaochuan said earnestly.

"Hmph, you know that now. Let's see if you dare to show off in front of me again next time." Guo Shiyi looked smug and arrogant.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Qin Xiaochuan immediately adopted a humble posture.

"Ahem, ahem." Han Kexin coughed twice on purpose to indicate that she was still there. After the two of them shut up, looking a little embarrassed, she continued, "In short, I have conveyed the Wood Priest's message. You can continue to focus on your cultivation for the next two days. I will arrange the specifics for you."

"Okay, I understand." Qin Xiaochuan nodded.

After Han Kexin left the meditation room, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly asked Guo Shiyi mysteriously, "Do you know what kind of person you were when you criticized me just now?"

"What kind of person does he look like?" Guo Shiyi asked, puzzled.

"Come closer, I'll tell you," Qin Xiaochuan said, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Guo Shiyi blushed slightly, but still turned her body to the side and bent forward to get closer to Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan whispered in his ear, "The way you were just now was like a young wife in ancient times lecturing her husband, hehe."

"You!" Guo Shiyi blushed instantly, angrily pinched Qin Xiaochuan's arm and twisted it hard, making Qin Xiaochuan wince in pain. He quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Oh, I know I was wrong, please have mercy, heroine."

"Let's see if you dare to bully me again," Guo Shiyi said angrily.

"How could I dare to bully you? I was just trying to praise you," Qin Xiaochuan quickly defended himself.

"Was that a compliment?" Guo Shiyi glared at him, then her face flushed slightly as she thought about what Qin Xiaochuan had just said.

"I originally wanted to praise you, but the words came out differently," Qin Xiaochuan said earnestly. "What I really meant was that you'll definitely be a great wife in the future."

"You still dare to talk back!" Guo Shiyi repeatedly punched Qin Xiaochuan's arm with her fists.

Qin Xiaochuan grabbed her wrist and said cheekily, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Let's continue our cultivation."

"I'm not cultivating with you anymore," Guo Shiyi said haughtily, pulling her hand away.

"Then you won't have a chance to surpass me," Qin Xiaochuan said with a grin.

"Hmph, don't think I can't surpass you without you? Who was just saying to keep a low profile?" Guo Shiyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Xiaochuan.

"Hehe, it is I. Well, from now on, I will start to keep a low profile," Qin Xiaochuan said in a serious tone.

"That's more like it. Now that you know how to keep a low profile, hurry up and help me cultivate and improve my cultivation level," Guo Shiyi said smugly.
