Gu Xu nodded to Chongli and thanked him for his information.

Then he followed the call of the sea of knowledge, and walked through the narrow passage between the pyres in the direction of the altar.

The prayers of the Vulcan believers echoed in the cool breeze outside the tower, and they also lingered in his heart.

The true element in his body was surging like a tsunami.

The temperature inside the temple rose sharply, causing Chongli and the other priests to sweat like rain in an instant.

The next moment, a bright and fresh flame ignited on the pyre.

At first, it was just a faint fire, but as Gu Xu got closer and closer to the altar, these flames also burned more and more, and soon jumped to the position of the ceiling, and even the masonry of the tower could not stop it, and it went outside through the window.

They are like a group of indulgent dancers, wearing red, orange and yellow veils, spinning and singing around Gu Xu, sometimes writhing, sometimes circling, competing with each other, climbing steadily. Glowing ash rose from the smoke screen, like a thousand newborn fireflies.

Seeing this scene, the people who were prostrate and praying in the square outside the house instantly opened their eyes, and then their faces were happy, and they exclaimed "miracles" in their mouths, thinking in their hearts that it was their piety that moved the great god and made her manifest in the world.

Chongli was even more shocked.

After all, a moment ago, he swore that the strange guest brought by Zhao Yan had no cause for the "God of Fire" and could not cause a reaction from the pyre.

However, the situation in front of him clearly slapped him in the face.

The vision that Gu Xu caused in the temple was grander and more spectacular than that of any of the Zhao family's children.

"Your Excellency Chongli, what the hell is going on?" Beside him, a young priest asked cautiously while wiping his sweat.

Chongli took a deep breath.

In order to maintain his majesty as a high priest, he did not directly say "I don't know", but tried to maintain an unfathomable expression, and said in a mysterious tone:

"The mind of God is not to be fathomed."

But the scene that surprised him even more was yet to come.

When Gu Xu walked to the altar and reached out to touch the altar, those flames that fluttered their wings and roared like giant beasts immediately quieted down again, and bowed their heads obediently in front of him.

Faintly, High Priest Chongli seemed to catch a glimpse of the flame giants kneeling humbly in front of the masked young man, swearing allegiance to him.

Immediately afterwards, Chongli felt that in the depths of his soul, there seemed to be an invisible shackle "Kacha" that cracked into silent fragments. His power, which had been stagnant for many years, suddenly broke through the bottleneck and increased as quickly as a volcanic eruption.

The cultivation system of the Great Wilderness is generally unified, but if we look at the specific cultivation methods, there are many different paths.

One of the ways to do this is to enter a god's temple and become a priest or monk who serves the god, and practice under the guidance of the god.

The advantage of this method is that because the gods have already paved the ready-made path, the monks do not need to go to great lengths to comprehend the meaning of the Great Dao. Under the patronage of the gods, they are often able to quickly grasp some difficult and difficult knowledge in the way of "epiphany", and even the speed of cultivation will be accelerated a lot.

But this approach is flawed. One is that he will not be able to advance to the realm of saints and above for life; The second is that the strict rules set by the gods must be observed, such as the monks of the Lingshan Temple are not allowed to eat meat, the monks who serve the heavens are not allowed to marry, and the priests of the Fire Temple must fulfill the obligation to kill ghosts on time and in accordance with the amount, and so on; The third is that the monk and the god will only have one glory and one loss, and when the power of the gods is weakened, the strength of the monk will also fall.

Like the ancestors in the Fire Temple, Chongli also chose this method of cultivation from the moment he became a priest.

However, over the years, he felt that he did not seem to have any special advantages compared to ordinary monks. His cultivation speed was mediocre, and he did not receive preferential treatment from the god of fire.

Until this moment.

It was as if a window had suddenly opened in his dazed heart, and the sunlight shone in from outside, making his soul clear and bright, and he understood a lot of knowledge that he had been puzzled about for a long time.

"I'm going to break through!"

At the same time, the young priest beside Chongli suddenly exclaimed, and then immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and stuffed a pre-prepared pill into his mouth.

In a matter of seconds, his aura climbed steadily. The threshold of the second realm had hindered him like a moat for three whole years, but now he crossed it effortlessly.

It's not just the two of them.

The cultivation of almost all the Vulcan Priests had been greatly improved at this moment.

"Who the hell is this young man in a mask?" High Priest Chongli looked at Gu Xu's figure and muttered to himself in his heart, "Even Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden, can't do this kind of thing...... This is almost a god's authority......

"Could it be that he is a messenger sent by the great Vulcan to save us? Or is it the embodiment of the god of fire walking the world? ”

Thinking of this, Chongli hurriedly stepped forward, and then knelt down on his knees respectfully in front of Gu Xu, his forehead touching the dust at Gu Xu's feet.

"My lord, I didn't notice your identity in time," Chongli said in a reverent tone, "On behalf of all the priests of the Fire God Temple, I welcome your lordship to Jicheng." ”

Seeing that the high-ranking high priest had such a humble attitude towards Gu Xu, the other priests present did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

They glanced at each other, and they also bowed to Gu Xu's position.

At this time, Gu Xu was still immersed in the world of consciousness, and he did not notice the actions of the priests.

The moment his fingertips touched the Dao altar, he clearly felt that an invisible chain suddenly appeared, linking the "Huilu" rune in his sea of consciousness and the sculpture of the "Fire God" into a unified whole.

The statue of the god of fire has stood here for hundreds of thousands of years, and has been worshiped by generations of believers, and has already accumulated a terrifying amount of faith power.

And now, these forces have poured into Gu Xu's body along this invisible power.

"It turns out that this is the fate that the 'astrolabe' told me." Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.

It stands to reason that with these powers, he can directly walk through the "Meng Po Pavilion", advance to the Fifth Realm, and even be promoted to the middle or late stage of the Fifth Realm in an instant.

However, since he has not yet found a satisfactory way to break the realm, he does not intend to use the simple and crude "Seven Emotions Chop".

So he stored the excess power in the "Huilu" rune, planning to wait until the mirror was broken before using it.

In addition to this, he also looked through the altar of the fire god, and perceived countless fiery red points of light hidden in the void in all directions.

His intuition told him that every point of light represented a believer in the god of fire.

The light of ordinary believers is dim and imperceptible.

The brighter ones are the priests of the Fire God Temple, as well as the members of the Zhao family with special bloodlines.

And the most dazzling of them is Zhao Yan's point of light.

Like a fiery phoenix, stretching its wings and singing.
