Chapter 1488: Chapter 263: The Spotlight on Xiawei Territory

Many people are surprised by this, such as ’What is the Supreme Spirit Sect?’

Some people said they ’knew’, knowing it was the toy of the Prophet Lord of the Supreme Spirit Sect but did not pay much attention.

But more people neither knew nor cared - they felt indifferent to all this, even finding it weirdly amusing.

--Even if the Supreme Spirit Sect has a prophet, they surely don’t think they amount to a major sect, do they?

A major sect, besides having a prophet, also needs a stable spirit energy user cultivation system, a professional clergy system, and a complete set of principles, i.e., doctrines.

This last one every sect has, but beforehand, only a few on Terra meet these conditions.

As for the Holy Ground, it’s even more complex, requiring a natural high-level spirit energy field environment and a matching inscription array to operate—to empower the clergy of the related sect within, and the top sublimators, in conjunction with the Holy Ground, can repel enemies stronger than themselves.

Like the sacrificial temple of the Mountain Tribes, there are indeed many inscription arrays, but since it’s not a high-level spirit energy field, it’s at most called ancestral land, not Holy Ground.

Back in the Southern Ridge, the Dragon Kingdom had just three Holy Grounds—Iron Dragon Nest, Dazzling Lake, and Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain—and mainly because of the dragons’ fame rather than the Holy Grounds themselves. It’s more like the dragons empowering the Holy Grounds than the other way around.

"Talking about laying the foundation for a Holy Ground is just child’s play."

This is what most people think; after all, the Prophet recently indeed made headlines at the Exotic Species Research Institute and is considered a leading figure in the Southern Ridge. He’s still young, so it’s not strange if he suddenly thought of something.

Also, considering Ian’s reputation, most invited families and forces are willing to send an emissary to observe the ceremony.

After inheriting for so many years, everyone knows having more friends is better than more enemies. Since the other party takes it so seriously, even if indifferent, they must show some decorum.

What if... they really become a major sect in the future? Then, those who partake in this foundational ceremony could claim to have witnessed the start of history, giving the family an honor to inherit.

Haha, it’s impossible.

Yet, whether refused or laughed at, mentioned in family afternoon tea talks... the Supreme Spirit Sect and Xiawei Territory are preparing related activities with intense seriousness.

Moreover, two quite unexpected events occurred, forcing everyone to reassess the Supreme Spirit Sect’s invitation.

The first event was the Huai Guang Church, after deliberation, deciding to send an official envoy team to attend the Supreme Spirit Sect’s Holy Ground foundation ceremony.

This envoy team includes the Empire’s Fourth Level Grand Archbishop of the Vowed Oath, Third Level Southern Ridge Tianyan Archbishop, and a clergy team from the Sacred Mountain.

Such a high specification could suffice to visit a country, especially since everyone knows.

Huai Guang never does anything superfluous.

As such, there’s only one reason for their seriousness.

Ian is the Fifth Energy Level potential they’ve been observing for a long time.

This is Huai Guang’s approval—for the first time, Ian Silverpeak’s strength and potential are openly laid out for everyone to scrutinize.

Then, came the shock.

Not yet twenty and an Alchemy Master? Part-time mechanical engineering expert? Master of inscriptions?!

Not to mention Prophet Psychic... this person has already completed the fairy transformation?

Could he be a Chosen Prophet?!

Since fae can never keep secrets, anyone curious enough to ask about it in the Fairy Homeland could find out easily, so Ian’s transformation to Third Energy Level Fairy shocked everyone... My heavens, not yet twenty at Third Energy Level, although thanks to Chosen Psychic Power and transformation ritual, this talent is no wonder listed on Huai Guang Church’s watchlist!

Besides, hidden behind Ian, the ’secret’ about the First Knight was also unearthed.

A Chosen Prophet child, an old wanderer, a remarkably gifted youth... the First Knight who lost all power found two individuals able to inherit his strength and will.

The first has grown to defeat the Fourth Level Labyrinth Master, crushing Terra’s forces young hero, while the second became the Empire Domain’s lord, Silver Peak Earl, further controlling the Dragon God faith of the former Southern Ridge, establishing his own sect and forces.

A ’complete’ story is gradually filled out, as though the First Knight’s legendary narrative hasn’t ended.

Given this, with the First Knight and Huai Guang Church as ’background’, the foundation ceremony for the Supreme Spirit Sect’s Holy Ground draws attention.

Many families and forces who originally held little regard choose to wait and see—not looking down, but holding it in high regard, believing themselves unfit to be swept into First Knight and the Four Great Orthodox Churches’ events.

As for the second event, it involves the elves.

And this matter is rather simple.

The victorious party of the Elf Civil War, one of the leaders of the Sustenance Party, Canaan Moore’s Grand Council Speaker, Yafada Silvergate, gave a skyship to Xiawei Territory in his ’personal capacity’.

Thus, all eyes are on them.
