NOVEL WEB Chapter 768: True Eye (2-in-1)
At the end of August, War Heaven Dharma King Fei Yi used the quantum migration device to arrive at the Light God Sect's main temple.
Officially, his trip was under King Ming's decree, but in reality, he was recommended by Wan Yan Elder to serve as the Vice Admiral of the Light God Sect's Third Fleet and the General of the Sixth Protection Army Corps.
Due to the tense war situation in the Beicheng District, the Light God Sect, urged by the Invincible Dharma King Regent Deputy, organized a brand-new fleet and the Fifth and Sixth Protection Army Corps at the main temple.
Over the past year, the main temple's strength increased dramatically due to executing 'King Ming's' underground farm strategy. With 44 'Guang Ming-class' farm warships in place, the number of Protection Army members in the main temple has exceeded 3.5 million, of which 900,000 people have achieved cultivation above the Fourth Realm due to the abundant primordial qi and the convenience of observing the 'King Ming Sitting Lotus View' at the main temple.
Alarmingly, these people have also been influenced by the Purgatory Light.
They remain fervently devout towards Guang Ming, with their souls unshakably steadfast, and few cases of demon transformation appear under the continuous illumination of Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire and the Radiant Holy Altar. However, their bloodlines have been stimulated, and the awakening speed and frequency of their bloodline powers far surpass those in the surface world.
Just two months ago, the Invincible Dharma King began reorganizing the sect's fleet and Protecting Sect Divine Army, establishing a total of 3 starship fleets and 12 corps, each with approximately 500,000 members.
The Fifth and Sixth Protection Army Corps, earmarked for reinforcement in the Beicheng District, gathered the most elite warriors from the main temple's Divine Army.
Therefore, many within the sect, including War Heaven Dharma King Fei Yi, speculate that this is a strategy by Invincible Dharma King to prevent the main temple from further strengthening and to stop the Divine Army defending King Ming from expanding, implementing a strategy to cut off resources from the root.
Once these two corps are transferred to the Beicheng District under Invincible Dharma King's command, their future will either be to be consumed or be controlled and annexed by the Invincible Dharma King, becoming her henchmen and wings.
The reason War Heaven Dharma King Fei Yi could take charge of the Sixth Protection Army Corps while serving as the Vice Admiral of the Third Fleet is due to Wan Yan Elder's support for the Invincible Dharma King's plan to reorganize the Protecting Sect Divine Army and mobilize the main temple's military power.
When Fei Yi emerged from the quantum migration device, stepping out of the South Heavenly Gate, he was momentarily stunned.
Like all others returning to the main temple of the Light God Sect after a year or even two years, he was taken aback on the spot.
Neither the dense crowd nor the warm Holy Light covering the entire underground space, nor the vast farms stretching far into the distance, could fail to astonish Fei Yi.
"So magnificent! This truly surprises me. I didn't expect that after changing to 'King Ming,' the Light God Sect has developed such an expansive vision. Tsk tsk, there are also many priests inside the main temple, maybe as many as six million; the primordial qi is indeed flourishing here!"
At this moment, an old voice, like a muttering, entered Fei Yi's ears.
"It's a full five 'Radiant Sub-Altars'! The farm might span over 2,000 miles north to south and east to west, at least 15 million acres of fields across ten vertical levels; this is truly outstanding. And see these crops — that must be 'Sun's Blood'? The Earth Federation's most coveted medicine and industrial raw material — your King Ming's managing ability is remarkable. It's not surprising if this year your Light God Sect's total income breaks six billion Divine Gold, considering the Great Song Star Port only pulls in 1.7 billion Divine Gold a month. Go in, let me take another look at the actualities of your main temple."
His voice then turned hoarse and low: "Find an opportunity to help us pinpoint the location of this underground farm!"
Fei Yi's heart sank, a tint of anger flashing in his eyes: "What do you intend to do?"
Previously, he had been careless, falling under Elder Wan Xin's illusion technique during the surgical implantation, leaving a significant hidden danger within his body.
After Wan Xin Elder's death, War Heaven Dharma King had originally thought he could regain his freedom and break free from control, only to find that this former vice sect hierarch had already sold him out to outsiders, ensnaring him in a more frightening web.
"What do we intend to do? You should be very clear about that."
That elderly voice chuckled and whispered, "Rest assured, we won't act now. We'll wait some time, ensuring you are free from suspicion; that King Ming has managed the sect well, showing signs of revival. Hence, you are still useful."
Fei Yi clenched his fists tightly, his bones emitting 'crackling' bursts of sound.
Inside, he felt both angry and helpless, unwilling yet unable to resist, not even able to expose himself.
At this moment, Fei Yi's soul was almost consumed by endless regret.
After nearly 200 years of decline, the Light God Sect finally welcomed a true 'King Ming,' a King Ming who brought light and hope to all the sect members.
Would it once again head towards demise because of him?
Just as Fei Yi was thinking this, a pain likened to thousands of ants gnawing at his heart started to spread all over his body.
He heard that old voice again: "Look natural, the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy is here."
At this moment, Fei Yi's expression was entirely beyond his control; though his body throbbed with pain to the extreme, his face showed no expression.
At this moment, the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy had already arrived in front of Fei Yi, almost flying through the air.
She cast a slightly odd glance at War Heaven Dharma King Fei Yi but quickly masked it: "Apologies, Fei Fellow Sect Member, I was delayed just now. His Highness King Ming ordered me to take you to the Bright Hall to meet him!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy gestured ahead, indicating Fei Yi to follow.
"Fellow Sect Member returned a bit late, actually; the Demon Suppression Envoy returned to the main temple five days ago to commence the final training before dispatching troops, and he wants you to see King Ming and then meet him as soon as possible."
