I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 520 - 488. What are Holy Relics?

Xia Feng actually didn’t need to absorb the honey, but he still had to play his part, so he began to bury his head and speed up the absorption.

Meanwhile, he found he had grown a bit taller again, and his bone age had increased by one year.

Next, he estimated he would grow a year older each day until his body returned to the state it was in when he had committed suicide in the Evil Demon Sea.

"Stand properly."

Jiang Qiue was kneeling in front of him. After cleaning the honey smudges from the corners of his lips, she changed him into a new set of clothes, combed his black hair, tied his necktie, and he was suddenly the very image of a young noble.

But that wasn’t the point—the point was that Xia Feng realized this fox demon seemed to treat him as if he were a nurtured doll.

The look in her eyes was increasingly satisfied, even holding expectations, though he didn’t know what for.

While Xia Feng was pondering, Jiang Qiue had already gently affixed a black fox mask to his face.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet someone from the past."

Xia Feng followed the woman in the blue dress out of the castle, where a dark hover car was already waiting outside. A blonde-haired youth was lazily leaning against the front of the vehicle, idly flipping his lighter open and shut.

However, when the blonde youth saw Jiang Qiue, he promptly put away the lighter and stood up straight, then paused, pondering.

He appeared thoughtful as he looked at the boy accompanying the saintess, who had an extraordinary aura. "Who is this?"

"Mu Feng, artificial life," Jiang Qiue did not elaborate much, simply getting into the car.

Saintess Qiue had registered the brief information on artificial life in the Church Court database yesterday, so Master Yusi was aware but had not anticipated that this piece of artificial life seemed to have very high intelligence?

A maid was in the driver’s seat, and Master Yusi sat in the passenger seat, glancing sidelong at the rearview mirror.

The boy was looking down at his phone screen, seemingly browsing various internal information of the Black Moon Church, his expression indiscernible behind the fox mask.

"What’s this about the Beiqiu Abyss quota?" Jiang Qiue’s indifferent inquiry brought Master Yusi’s thoughts back to the present.

"The entry quota for Beiqiu Abyss originally belonged to Yulina this year, but Saintess Lina died at the hands of the Peach Organization in Zone 51 a year ago, leaving this quota vacant. Now, according to the discussion results of the major Red Bishops, whichever of the three saintesses is the strongest will acquire the quota."

Master Yusi hesitated before continuing, "This might mean, you might have to fight the other two."

As he spoke, dissatisfaction laced his tone, and he scoffed coldly,

"This is clearly favoring Olivia. Olivia was the first saintess and already Venerable Two, and she is one of the super geniuses, alongside the Ye Li family and Golden Sparrow. Who could possibly defeat her?"

Jiang Qiue’s gaze remained calm as she fell into contemplation.

Xia Feng was also somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected such a large disparity in strength among the four saintesses of the Black Moon Church.

That Yulina who had died... Xia Feng had naturally seen her before; it was her Guardian Knight that had accidentally awoken the Dragon God.

Xia Feng remembered that Yulina seemed to only have Third Rank strength?

As for Cha Naixue, she was already close to breaking through to Fourth Rank a year ago and should now be a Fourth-order Spirit Master.

Speaking of which, Cha Naixue could be considered a genius, a Fourth-order Spirit Master at 21 years old—such talent was among the top tier in the Empire.

However, to determine if a Spirit Master was a super genius, one had to gauge the speed at which they learned A-grade Spiritual Clothes.

Many talents could swiftly bring their Cultivation to reach General Fifth Rank.

But the advancement from General Fifth to True Martial Realm was akin to a monumental threshold, causing most geniuses to see their progress plummet precipitously, resulting in delays of decades or even longer.

And from True Martial to Venerable Realm was yet another fearsome threshold, halting the progress of the majority of geniuses.

Only those who could become venerable within a mere century amid the survival of the fittest were truly super geniuses.

For instance, the Olivia mentioned by Master Yusi just now, according to Xia Feng’s search in the internal network of the Black Moon Church,

This Holy Daughter had successfully advanced to Venerable One Realm at the age of 86, becoming the most powerful saintess, and now she was in Venerable Two Realm.

Therefore, her knightly forces were also the most substantial, with many Knight Corps willing to follow under the banner of this Holy Daughter.

The reason why the gap was so vast and why Cha Naixue, Jiang Qiue, and even the least capable Yulina were able to become Holy Daughters was that the four of them had a very high affinity with the S-rank Spiritual Clothes, Moon God Domain.

As for how this so-called affinity was determined... it remained a mystery, as Xia Feng found no relevant information on the internal network.

"Teacher, don’t you think there’s something amiss with the opening of the Beiqiu Abyss this time?"

Master Yusi spoke again, voicing his doubts, "In the past, whenever the Beiqiu Abyss opened, it was basically only our three major Church Courts that would send people in."

"But this time, not only the three major Church Courts, but also the seven major families of the Empire, the Yeli family, Golden Sparrow, and even the Burning Heaven Temple are showing interest."

"Could it be that some extraordinary treasure has appeared within the Beiqiu Abyss?"

Upon hearing his question, Jiang Qiue lifted her eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Didn’t your father tell you? The clues to the location of the Holy Relics have surfaced, right within the Beiqiu Abyss."

Holy Relics? Master Yusi was somewhat surprised, and after pondering for a moment, he chuckled softly,

"For years, all the major forces have been using every means at their disposal to fight for the Holy Relics and the Sumeru Throne. I didn’t expect that before the final battle for the Sumeru Throne has even begun, signs of the Holy Relics would emerge first."

"....." Xia Feng listened silently by the side while his fingers lightly tapped, entering ’Holy Relics’ and ’Sumeru Throne’ silently into the search bar on the Black Moon Church’s internal network.

As an artificial intelligence akin to a swarm consciousness, it was natural for him to input a large amount of external information to expand his knowledge base, so Jiang Qiue wouldn’t find his thirst for knowledge suspicious, and might even proactively help him understand the world.

Of course, Xia Feng still feared that if this woman asked him questions, requiring him to analyze something, he might actually give himself away.

Soon, Xia Feng used his saintess privileges and found related information on the Holy Relics in the internal network.

Xia Feng browsed through the information quickly and roughly understood the situation.

Among the gods of the Star Realm, a god’s authority might become Divine Relics upon their demise, their divine nature shattered, thus vanishing.

But the Three Saint Star Gods were different; upon their fall, their divine nature remained intact, able to be inherited by other beings and become the new Three Saint Star Gods!

They were also the only Star God whose divine nature could be inherited.

And the Holy Relics were the key to unlocking this divine inheritance!

Of course, there were many restrictions to inheriting this divine nature, one of which was that one must at least have Wise Man Level strength.

But regardless, it was terrifying enough.

The divine nature of the most powerful Star God! Once inherited, one could directly become invincible in this era!

No wonder the appearance of clues to the location of the Holy Relics within the Beiqiu Abyss could cause the major forces to flock there like moths to a flame.

What puzzled Xia Feng was, if the Three Saint Star Gods’ divine nature was the only one that could be inherited, then what about Gong Changyi inheriting the Eternal Day Godhood? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Xia Feng recalled the events at Liu Mansion, that mysterious Doctor Liu, Liu Zhengen; could it be that there were some special techniques involved?
