All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 284: Divine Voices Blessing

The goddess statue formed from spiritual energy just hovered silently behind Zhanyue.

The Fairy Spirit Clan could control these spiritual energy manifestations for combat, but Zhanyue had no idea how to do it. He only felt that this goddess statue was very familiar and sacred, having a deep connection with him. Other than that, he couldn’t sense how to control this goddess statue formed from gathered spiritual energy.

“Um… Senior, how do I control this form created from spiritual energy? Does the Fairy Spirit Clan have related control techniques?” Zhanyue asked. Although he didn’t understand why he could really awaken the abilities of the Fairy Spirit Clan, the fact was just that. He could feel that the new power he gained was not false.

The Prophet looked at Zhanyue with a puzzled expression. “You don’t know? Fairy spirit manifestation is the instinct of the Fairy Spirit Clan and doesn’t require any control techniques. It’s just like using your own hands and feet. What techniques are needed?”

“Huh?” Zhanyue didn’t expect to hear such an answer. Instinct? Although he felt countless connections with the goddess statue, he didn’t feel he could control it in any way.

He turned his head to look at the goddess statue he had summoned, and in a daze, he seemed to hear some voices by his ears.

“Did you hear any voices?” Zhanyue asked.

The elder Prophet and Yunyao both shook their heads. Their hearing was very sharp. If there were really any sounds, they couldn’t possibly not hear it.

“Auditory hallucinations?” Zhanyue was a bit puzzled, but he felt the voices by his ears getting louder and louder.

“May your heart be full, with joy residing forever within.”

“May your dreams soar, reaching the summit of every peak.”

“May your faith be firm, with the years not changing its color.”

“May your life be like a song, with glorious chapters forever splendid.”

“For this…”

“I bestow upon you the most sensitive hearing, so that you may never be deceived by words.”

“I bestow upon you the brightest eyes, so that you may never be blinded by appearances.”

“I bestow upon you the purest heart, so that you may never be disturbed by the mundane world.”

The goddess statue moved on its own, placing its hands in front of its chest in a praying posture. A golden pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Zhanyue.

Zhanyue only felt like he was bathing in the warmest sunlight, with every cell in his body feeling so comfortable. The golden scepter he had obtained earlier automatically emerged from Zhanyue’s space, revealing its true form in the golden light. Countless fish-shaped demon beasts symbolizing greed circled around Zhanyue, then turned to ashes in the golden light.

“What is that!” Yunyao was startled when she saw those familiar fish swarms reappear. Wasn’t the greed demon beast eliminated by them?

“So that’s how it is…” Zhanyue had some enlightenment at this moment. Those uncontrollable thoughts of possessiveness from before were all caused by the greed demon beast lurking beside him. The greed demon beast had never disappeared. However, at this moment, under that mysterious golden light, it had nowhere to hide and actually turned directly to ashes. As the second most difficult demon beast to deal with among the seven, it was so easily eliminated.

The golden blessing didn’t dissipate for a long time. Zhanyue only felt that some of his hidden injuries, old illnesses, and even some bad thoughts and negative emotions had all dissipated.

At this moment, he finally understood the ability of this goddess statue formed from spiritual energy behind him – blessing and purification. The demon beast lurking on his body was easily purified.

Then, the goddess statue dissipated. Zhanyue knew that as long as he needed, he could summon it again. The secrets of this goddess statue still needed to be slowly explored by himself in the future.

“The power awakened by each Fairy Spirit Clan member is different. I also can’t give you any guidance. Everything needs to be explored by yourself,” the Prophet said. He didn’t dare to probe into Zhanyue’s secrets. It seemed like some mysterious power was prohibiting him from doing so.

“Why can I awaken like the Fairy Spirit Clan?” Zhanyue was naturally puzzled at this moment. He still didn’t think he was from the Fairy Spirit Clan. It was just that for some reason, he could do the same things as the Fairy Spirit Clan.

“Come with me. I know what you want,” the Prophet said again.

Zhanyue and Yunyao followed the Prophet back to that giant tree. This time, the Prophet led the two into his own house. Compared to the homes of other Fairy Spirit Clan members, the Prophet’s home could be considered very large.

“Do you know the origin of the seven demon beasts?” the Prophet suddenly asked.

Zhanyue and Yunyao naturally shook their heads. They indeed knew very little about this.

“Long, long ago, the seven demon beasts never existed in this world. Until… a powerful visitor from beyond the heavens descended. He cultivated a special cultivation method. In order to advance further, he needed to expel many dark aspects of human nature from his body. This world naturally became his cultivation ground.”

“You’ve already guessed it. The seven demon beasts are actually the seven negative emotions from his soul. Although his cultivation method was perfected, the seven demon beasts also began to wreak havoc on the world. As the originator of everything, this visitor from beyond didn’t just leave. He tried to take action to eliminate the seven demon beasts. However, the seven demon beasts were of the same origin as him, two sides of the same coin. He couldn’t take action to eliminate them himself. At most, he could seal them. This was limited by the cultivation method. So he changed his approach and forged seven divine artifacts specifically to counter the seven demon beasts, trying to find suitable candidates in the world to help him eliminate these demon beasts. It’s just that before he could eliminate the seven demon beasts, he had to leave due to important matters. He only handed over the task of eliminating the seven demon beasts and guarding the seven divine artifacts to seven powerful races.”

The Prophet continued, “However, after so many years, no heroes capable of using the divine artifacts to slay the seven demon beasts have appeared in this world. Many powerful races have even disappeared in the long river of time, and the divine artifacts have also been lost.”

“Look.” The Prophet waved his hand, and a chest under the bed flew out on its own. When it opened, three items appeared in front of the two.

“Inside are the three divine artifacts I’ve collected. The Book of Abstinence, the Shield of Forgiveness, and the Bow of Humility.” The elder pointed to a book, a shield, and a bow in the treasure chest.

Zhanyue and Yunyao looked at each other. They didn’t expect that three of the seven divine artifacts were actually with the elder. Or rather, the Prophet was worthy of being a prophet and had foreseen such a day long ago. That Book of Abstinence should be the divine artifact to counter that lust demon beast, it’s just that it wasn’t needed now.

In the Wanling Realm.

Fan Longyu was quite frustrated. Although he had gained a lot from this trip and reached a new height in the use of his innate dragon scales, he couldn’t be happy at all. He had originally thought that his innate talent was unparalleled even in ancient times, but the appearance of one genius after another shattered his perception. On top of that, he had lost to Tianxian before, so how could he be happy?

“Let’s go back first and have the four teachers think of a solution together.” Fan Longyu was born noble and had the Four Sages of the Lake as his teachers. He wouldn’t easily admit defeat. At this moment, he was flapping his dragon wings, passing over the Kingdom of Rising Sun.

However, a man in a golden robe suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. Being able to stand in midair, he was naturally a powerhouse above the Spirit God Realm.

“Who are you and what do you want?” Fan Longyu wasn’t afraid. Even if the other party was really in the Spirit God Realm, he had his own life-saving methods.

“Actually traveling alone without the accompaniment of elders, giving me an opportunity. I have no other intentions, I only want your innate dragon scales.” The man in the golden robe wore a golden mask, his eyes filled with greed.

“It seems you’re determined to be my enemy. I want to see just who you are, not daring to show your true face.” Fan Longyu’s killing intent was aroused.
