"Mo Lu! You are guilty!"
The voice, as authoritative as a deity, reverberated across heaven and earth!
"First sin! Abandoning the family, failing in filial piety, defying human ethics!"
Boom!
In the midst of the mirage, the scene changed!
Molu Sacrificer displayed remarkable divine abilities at the age of three.
By age five, he had thoroughly studied the classics.
At seven, he apprenticed under the Divine Hall Sorcerer!
At nine, he separated from his family, entered the Divine Temple, and devoted his life to serving the divine!
To everyone in the Qianyuan Empire, this was almost the epitome of a divine servant!
Even Li Jing thought so!
But now, this act has become a crime under divine punishment!
What an absurdity!
Betraying family, serving the divine, yet judged guilty by the divine!
The shock of this scene left Li Jing, the Governor of Boyang Prefecture and a Martial Saint, speechless!
If Li Jing as a Martial Artist was so staggered, one can only imagine the shock of Molu Sacrificer himself!
"Abandoning family, failing in filial piety, defying human ethics?"
Molu Sacrificer repeated these three sentences in disbelief, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Family?
This word was almost inconceivable to Molu Sacrificer.
Since entering the Divine Temple at seven, he had never seen his family!
Because his master said it would affect his devotion to the divine!
Now, after eons, he thought his family was a thing of the past, never to think of again.
Yet, at this moment, within the mirage, the figures of his parents were so vivid!
It turns out, he had never forgotten them!
"Hahaha! So it is! All wrong, all wrong, master, you were wrong, everyone in the Divine Temple was wrong!"
Suddenly, tears streamed down Molu Sacrificerâs face as he sobbed uncontrollably, "How can one serve the divine without honoring parents or respecting kin!"
Is the lineage of the Divine Temple, spanning countless generations, indeed wrong?
Molu Sacrificer suddenly realized that none of the temple priests had ever placed the divine judgment upon themselves!
No priest has ever judged themselves!
Are priests guilty?
Suddenly, Molu Sacrificer opened his arms, no longer resisting, accepting the divine judgment!
He wanted to know how much he had erred in this life!
The mirage changed!
But the divine voice never sounded again.
Gradually, the power of divine judgment dissipated completely!
Li Jing watched, mouth agape, incredulous!
Innocent?
Does it mean that aside from abandoning family, Molu Sacrificer was nearly perfect, found innocent under divine judgment!
What does this mean!
Li Jing couldnât comprehend!
Being one of the three major temple priests, one of the ten strongest in the Empire!
Molu Sacrificer, in this life, had not committed any other sins?
How is that possible!
Li Jing felt his worldview was overturned!
Molu Sacrificer opened his arms, waiting for judgment but finding no relief, only deep disappointment!
"You are guilty! The flesh and skin received from your parents, you abandoned them, sentenced to shattering bones for your father, slicing flesh for your mother!"
With the final judgment, blood and flesh flew from Molu Sacrificerâs body, the sound of bones breaking echoed everywhere!
Molu Sacrificer transformed into a being of blood!
The blood of the priest fell, pounding the ground into deep pits!
The scorching blood seared the rocks like glass!
Five hundred miles outside Tianhe City, due to Molu Sacrificerâs flesh and blood, the landscape was completely altered!
This area, spanning a hundred miles, became a valley of glass-like pits!
The dense spiritual energy nearly suffocated people.
The Spirit Qi Rain fell, sprinkling within the glass pit!
Within ten years, this will become a holy land for Martial Way practice!
This is the power of the temple priest!
A piece of flesh can transform into a holy land!
Molu Sacrificer stood in the void, his face calm as if the pieces of flesh falling from him had nothing to do with him!
"Lin Mu, you were right, those who kill will be killed; I will no longer intervene in your matters with the Qianyuan Empire!"
Molu Sacrificerâs Divine Robe had already slipped away with his flesh.
At this moment, he seemed less like a temple priest and more like a venerably old man.
Even though he maintained a youthful appearance thanks to the power of the divine, the weathered look in his eyes couldnât be concealed!
Lin Mu glanced at Molu Sacrificer in surprise, chuckling, "I wondered why you achieved such heights, turns out you were a reincarnated power of the Buddhist Door, but sadly misplaced, reincarnated in a land without Buddhism, becoming a temple priest, pitiful, laughable!"
A single method leads to clarity in all methods!
When Molu Sacrificer was judged innocent, Lin Mu, with his divine skill capable of seeing past lives, saw through Molu Sacrificerâs past!
"Buddhist Door?"
Though hearing the term for the first time, Molu Sacrificerâs heart trembled as if awakening a memory!
Lin Mu stepped forward, a step spanning ten miles!
"Thatâs it, people from the Immortal Realm rarely reincarnate in the Lower Realm; I will lend a hand!"
Lin Mu pointed a finger, touching Molu Sacrificerâs forehead!
Boom!
A halo soared behind Molu Sacrificer.
The mirage appeared once more!
This time, it was not Molu Sacrificerâs current life but his past life!
In the mirage were immortals, Buddhas, Immortal Techniques, and Buddha Dharma!
A Venerable smiled upon flowers, and one Immortal shattered the ten thousand realms with a single sword!
One Buddha emitted endless brilliance, illuminating the Great Thousand Worlds, until extinguished after eternity!
Finally, an infant cried at birth.
The divine cast spells, celestial ladies imprinted, sealing the infantâs past memories, preventing awakening!
What heavenly phenomenon, clearly a malicious seal!
As soon as the infant was born, it destroyed lifetimes of cultivation!
If not for Lin Mu, Mo Lu would never awaken his past memory even after death!
Rumble!
Lotuses emerged beneath Mo Luâs feet, Buddhist lights rose from Mo Luâs head!
A Swastika Character Script appeared on Mo Luâs brow!
"Boundless Buddhas, thank the Emperor Zun!"
Mo Lu clasped hands in prayer, bowing low.
With one bow, the three thousand strands of trouble fell, the scar of renunciation surfaced naturally.
In a single rite, he transformed from temple priest back to the reincarnated power of the Buddhist Door!
In the distance.
Governor Li Jing watched the scene, feeling chills throughout!
The truth that the oldest temple priest wasnât born favored by deities, with celestial gifts, but sealed by deities, was chilling!
Such a terrifying truth made Li Jing shudder!
Would Molu Sacrificer, no, Mo Lu, become an enemy of the temple, even the Qianyuan Empire?
Lin Mu waved his hand, "Regain your memories and go far away; in past lives, I disliked your bald heads!"
Mo Lu looked stunned.
Originally thinking this past Emperor Zun held goodwill towards him, such words were unexpected!
"Donât thank me; thank the founder of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion instead! If not for resonating with his struggles, Iâd never have helped you!"
Lin Mu confidently replied, ignoring the bewildered newly ordained monk.
"Come over!"
Lin Mu faced Li Jing directly!
Boom, boom, boom!
Martial Saint Armor appeared, Tiger Talisman soared, Magic Artifact blade in hand, Imperial Protective Charm revealed!
Li Jing activated all his trump cards!
Despite this, he felt even more terrified!
This mysterious power from the Otherworld, truly frightening.
Doesnât kill people, only crushes spirits!
Not only did he draw away belief from millions in the six major cities, now even the temple priests betray!
This person surpasses humanity, a Demon!
