I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 888 Taking the Spiritual Rhinoceros as the Root
Linghuazhai is preparing for a sermon.

As expected, the news was not kept secret and soon everyone knew about it.

Resources poured into Linghuazhai like flowing water. People living in this area would hear unusual noises from time to time. Sometimes the ground would suddenly shake, sometimes day would turn into night, sometimes their bodies would lose gravity and float in mid-air, strange phenomena would appear around them, and sometimes people would suddenly lose consciousness without realizing it, only to find out when they woke up that they had had a vivid dream...

Such changes initially caused panic among the people, but they gradually got used to them and realized that these changes came from the upgraded research on the Linghuazhai artifact array.

The question of just how powerful the Linghuazhai weapon array really is has become one of the main topics of conversation in the cafeteria.

"All the top artifact craftsmen of Miaomiao Mountain have been mobilized, working day and night on research. They haven't even been eating during this time. I heard that the final result will be able to withstand the throne."

"Impossible. The strongest Thousand Machine Venerable is only a Heavenly Venerable, far inferior to the Throne. His weapon array may be invincible at the Star Rank, but it is impossible for him to deal with the Throne."

"Have you forgotten that Linghuazhai's array of magical artifacts was not created solely by Miaomiao Mountain, but was primarily established by Yongmengxiang? Zhuxinghou's polar battlefield can block the throne, and Linghuazhai's array of magical artifacts is not just a combination of traditional magical artifacts, but also incorporates strange artifacts and supernatural tales."

The Yang Meridian Spirit Master, angered by the rebuke, lowered his voice and said, "Have you all forgotten that you are Yang Meridians? Listen to your tone, it's as if you really hope that Linghuazhai's weapon array can withstand, or even defeat, the Throne!"

Upon hearing this, none of the people spoke again, and the meeting quickly ended unhappily.

Just as Lu Fu and the others had discussed, it was impossible for all the Yang Meridian prisoners to have put aside their feuds with the two factions within three years. Their obedience in the past was due to their lack of choice, but now that signs of resistance had emerged, some people were already making underhanded moves.

These people who made underhanded moves and spread malicious rumors did not cause any trouble for Linghuazhai. They were arrested quietly one by one and punished according to the severity of their mistakes.

Mi Bayue, whose mind was focused on the experiment of the weapon array, did not hear any related rumors. It was a long time before she learned that there were Yang Meridian prisoners trying to cause trouble. The reason was that she accidentally heard the Night Wanderer mention familiar names such as Lu Fu. However, she subconsciously listened for a while and learned that Lu Fu had made a fortune by reporting others.

While Linghuazhai's development was booming, it was also incredibly stable, whereas the atmosphere between the Yin and Yang lineages in Lingzhou was much more complex.

The Yin Meridian leaders had long been ensnared by Yongmengxiang without their knowledge, experiencing its strength and benefits firsthand. To split them would be tantamount to cutting off their own flesh; they would lose a thousand to harm Yongmengxiang by a hundred. Therefore, once Yongmengxiang made its decision, they could only follow the procedure, even if they were conflicted.

While following the procedures, he couldn't help but wonder: What was Yongmengxiang really thinking? Did they genuinely intend to peacefully invite the spiritual masters of both lineages to the Dao Proving Conference? If it was just a formality, and they actually wanted to trap the Yang lineage like turtles in a jar, why didn't they communicate with them about any other plans?

Even the Yin Meridians suspected that the Ming Dynasty's Path of Enlightenment was plotting something against the Yang Meridians, not to mention the Yang Meridians themselves.

The Fierce War faction of thrones absolutely did not believe that the Yin Vein had sincerely invited them, nor did they believe that Mi Bayue would kindly share her ancestral land with them—Su Yaoguang distributed the secrets of the ancestral land that he had glimpsed, as well as the method for reviving the spiritual land given by Mi Bayue, to the other thrones.

Rather than believing that Mi Bayue meant well, they preferred to believe that Yongmengxiang knew he could no longer protect his ancestral land, so he had no choice but to plot openly.

The warring faction ultimately decided to suppress the rebellion by force and seize the status of sovereign.

Regardless of whether Linghuazhai is the first spiritual vein ancestral land to be revived in Yongmeng Township, if they can't protect it, it's because they're incompetent. Wouldn't it be better to decide their life, death, and whereabouts after the Yang vein is confiscated?

As everyone planned, time flowed by and the countdown to the start of the sermon finally began.

Growing in the backyard of the temple, the little spirit rhinoceros, which was originally less than a person tall, grew wildly, carrying the spiritual charm of nature. Its roots in the soil were like jellyfish swimming in water, hardly causing any ripples, yet moving naturally and silently covering the entire mountain range.

Unlike the spiritual plants that destroyed most of the Green Lantern Path back then, which could have caused even greater disaster if not discovered in time, the rampant growth of the Spirit Rhinoceros did not devour or harm any land. On the contrary, it nurtured more spirituality in the land.

This is true both underground and above ground, magically bypassing every existing building, or allowing buildings to blend into the land and stand on its body, creating a magnificent landscape where flower forests and jade pavilions stand side by side.

When the strange phenomenon of the Point of Light suddenly appeared, the staff of the departments that had been unprepared for the venue setup were shocked, worried that the arrangements they had worked so hard to complete would be ruined. Now, they were only excited. Some of the staff in the middle department even grabbed the staff in the Literature Department and shouted for them to quickly record the image stone, because the Ministry of Rites absolutely had to be included in the Night Tour Report.

This scene will surely be remembered for generations to come and will become one of the Ministry of Rites' masterpieces!

Although the connection wasn't their doing, who cares?

Not only were they excited, but everyone else at the scene was equally thrilled.

"This is the Spirit Awakening? This is actually the Spirit Awakening! How could such a small sapling behind the temple grow so big!"

"I had only heard of it and seen its pictures before, but now I know what it means to be far better than hearing about it. These spiritual creatures truly deserve to be called treasures of heaven and earth; each one is unique in the world. It's so amazing!"

"It's this one that calls out Lord Mi's name!"

"God above, do you still remember the first divine favor bestowed upon Beiyuan City?" "What nonsense are you talking about? Who would forget! It turns out there were already signs back then. Perhaps the Spiritual Connection had an owner, but it wasn't a Spiritual Master, but the God himself."

The earliest Night Wanderers, as well as the men and women currently serving in the Night Palace, all gained spiritual insight through the blooming of the Spirit Rhinoceros Flower. Therefore, they have a natural affinity for the Spirit Rhinoceros Flower, which is appearing in the Spirit Flower Pavilion for the first time, and they look at it with pride.

Unlike most of the onlookers, Mi Bayue and Mi Feixue were also present, watching the interaction between the Spirit Rhinoceros's appearance and the hidden array of artifacts at Linghuazhai.

"As expected." Mi Bayue smiled with satisfaction.

As she expected.

The Spirit Rhinoceros didn't damage the buildings on the surface of Linghuazhai in the slightest, nor did it disrupt the artifact array. In fact, to ensure the array's safety, just as it perfectly integrated with the ground structures, it also incorporated its own characteristics into the array.

In this way, as long as the Spiritual Insight appears in the world for one day, it will be the day when the Spiritual Flower Studio's weapon array is in its most perfect state.

A woman dressed in black suddenly appeared.

She looked at Mi Bayue with a complicated expression.

Mi Bayue noticed her gaze, turned her head and smiled, "Lord Meng."

Meng Luo said, "We are now of the same rank, there is no need to address me with respect."

Mi Bayue said, "Master Xing is my master. You are a friend of the same generation as my master, so you are a senior that I should respect."

Meng Luo's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but she was actually convinced in her heart.

This initial compliance quickly vanished as a thought flashed through her mind, turning into a strange feeling: she, like the Yang Meridian Throne members, suspected that Mi Bayue and Mi Feixue were reincarnations of the Throne, so these two juniors in front of her, whose combined age was not even fifty, were very likely seniors who were hundreds of years older than her.

Meng Luo naturally didn't voice her strange thoughts. She glanced at Mi Bayue and Mi Feixue again, secretly erasing the related ideas from her mind.

Regardless of the truth, since they respectfully call her "senior," she should just go along with it.

Meng Luo turned her attention to Dian Lingxi.

She was amazed by Mi Bayue's bold and ingenious ideas.

During the construction of the artifact array at Linghuazhai, Meng Luo thought that Mi Bayue's skillful use of the power of the Yang meridian, combined with the strange and supernatural, was already a feat that broke the tradition of artifact crafting, making the Linghuazhai artifact array a world-renowned masterpiece. Little did she know that this was not the most perfect state of the artifact array.

If Mi Bayue had told her before today's events, that Dianlingxi would serve as the core of the Linghuazhai array, Meng Luo would have thought it was just Mi Bayue's wild idea—not that she would completely dismiss her idea, but for an idea to succeed, it would require countless attempts.

As for now...

Meng Luo said, "From the day you transplanted the branch of the Spirit Rhinoceros to Linghuazhai, did you already have this plan in mind?"

Mi Bayue chuckled, "You think too highly of me. After transplanting this branch of the Spirit Rhinoceros, I'm not even sure if it will survive."

Mi Feixue glanced at her the moment she spoke her first words, thinking to herself: August is truly amazing, it's not just wishful thinking.

Even Meng Luo was starting to doubt Mi Bayue's words, even though they were the most logical. The number of times Mi Bayue had broken the rules far exceeded what was expected.

Facing Meng Luo's skeptical gaze, Mi Bayue smiled and said, "It can only be said that the timing, location, and people were all right."

Her Linghuazhai artifact array design was constantly improved. Even without a touch of spiritual inspiration, it was still a masterpiece. With a touch of spiritual inspiration, it was the icing on the cake, adding a layer of spiritual charm from the laws of nature to this man-made masterpiece.

Meng Luo didn't really intend to delve into it. After receiving Mi Bayue's response, she didn't ask any further questions. Together, she watched the process of the spiritual connection manifesting in the world, from the changes in the mountains to the distant horizon tinged with rosy light. Then, she thanked Mi Bayue.

Before Mi Bayue could ask her why she was thanking her, Meng Luo had already explained the reason herself.

Mi Bayue's bold move inspired Meng Luo, causing the long-dormant master of weapon crafting in Lingzhou to begin to loosen his composure.
