Since the sky was covered, the heavens began to show their holiness

The emperor said directly without any hesitation: "The high priest invites you two to the Temple of Life."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Zoe, and the inquiry and attention in his eyes were undisguised. Although Zhou Xian was included in his words, everyone could see that Zoe was the top priority in this invitation from the Temple of Life.

Zhou Xian frowned slightly. Facing this sudden invitation, he did not immediately agree. His eyes quickly turned to Zoe beside him, thinking about the interests involved in it, and he couldn't make up his mind. At this moment, Zoe was the key, and he was waiting for her to express her opinion.

Zoe tilted her head, a hint of curiosity on her originally calm face.
"The big sister in the Temple of Life?"

She whispered softly, with a smart light in her eyes, and it was obvious that she knew the high priest.

“Zoe, do you know the high priest?”

Zhou Xian's eyes were full of curiosity, and he couldn't help asking. You know, the high priest is a god-level strongman, and his status in the Yulan Continent is extremely respected. It is difficult for ordinary people to even meet him. But looking at Zoe's reaction, it is obvious that she knows the high priest, and it seems that they have a close relationship.

"I tried to play with her a few years ago, but she's really boring." Zoe's lips curled down slightly, her face full of lack of interest, as if she was recalling the time she spent with the high priest, which was full of boring fragments. While speaking, she shook her head slightly, her face full of disgust.

Seeing Zoe's nonchalant look, Zhou Xian's brows knitted up instantly, and doubts surged in his heart. What was Zoe's origin? How could she associate with the high priest and yet not care about him? These questions were like dense threads, tightly entangling his curiosity, making him want to explore Zoe's true identity even more.

While Zhou Xian and Zoe were conversing, the emperor beside them was like a silent statue. He said nothing from beginning to end, just waiting there quietly, not daring to even breathe.

After all, the girl in front of him was a person that even the high priest had to treat seriously. How could he dare not slack off? If there was any mistake, the consequences would be unpredictable. He could only secretly guess the girl's identity and silently wait for the two men's response.

The two talked for a while, and Zhou Xian finally said, "Since the high priest sincerely invites us, let's go."

In fact, Zhou Xian also had his own plans. There were many kinds of magic in the entire Yulan Continent, but he had never come into contact with life magic and undead magic. This was a rare opportunity, and he might be able to take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the mystery of life magic. Such a good opportunity should not be missed.

"Please come with me, both of you."

The emperor bowed slightly, and the tense expression on his face relaxed instantly, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, turned around and led the way, his steps became lighter, and he was secretly glad that this difficult reception task was finally completed.

Zhou Xian nodded slightly when he saw this, then turned sideways and motioned for Ahri and Zoe to follow. He knew that it was rare for a king of a country to be so humble and not only receive him personally but also lead the way. He knew that there were not many people in the entire Yulan Continent who could enjoy such treatment. He was able to enjoy such treatment because of Zoe. The Temple of Life was not far from the Imperial Palace, and the group arrived at their destination in just a few moments. A magnificent temple stood before them, surrounded by a strange halo. Before they got close, a rich and pure breath of life surged over them, like a gentle spring breeze, gently brushing across everyone's faces. Everywhere they looked, there were lush vines winding around them, bright flowers blooming wantonly, and vigorous vitality everywhere, instantly refreshing their spirits.

“Is this the High Priest’s Temple of Life?”

Zhou Xian took a deep breath, and the fresh air instantly penetrated his lungs. In an instant, he keenly noticed that the magic power in his body had quietly increased a little. This tiny change made him very surprised. Although it was only a tiny increase in magic power, if it continued for a long time, even a magician with mediocre talent might have the possibility of growing into a ninth-level strongman. Zhou Xian secretly sighed in his heart, it was worthy of being the residence of a god-level strongman, even the environment contained such an amazing mystery.

As if seeing through Zhou Xian's inner thoughts, a soft and ethereal voice came slowly. The voice was like the breeze that caressed everything in spring, and like a cradle of life that nurtured thousands of lives, warm and moving, making it difficult to tell whether it was a man's deep voice or a woman's gentle tone.

"You are Aatrox, right? Your talent is truly amazing. If you join the Temple of Life, you can live here permanently."

The visitor had long silver-white hair that was as white as frost and snow, gleaming softly in the dim light. She wore a light green mask on her head, which covered most of her face, adding a bit of mystery. She was wearing a moon-white robe that was loosely draped over her body, but it could not hide her graceful figure.

With every step she took, a faint breath of life emanated from her body, like the fresh mist in the mountains in the early morning, lingering around her.

"Meet the high priest."

As soon as he saw the mysterious figure, the emperor immediately lowered his body slightly, bowed respectfully, and kept his posture very low. His eyes were full of a strong and blazing light of faith. For the subjects of the Yulan Empire, the high priest was not only a powerful god-level warrior, but also their spiritual sustenance, a symbol of the empire's unshakable strength, and a place of faith that was revered by everyone.

The person who came was the pillar of the Magnolia Empire - the high priest.

As an ancient and powerful god-level warrior, her existence itself is a legend. The passage of time seems to have left no trace on her. No one knows exactly how long the high priestess has lived in this world. It is only known that from the moment the Yulan Empire was born, her figure has been silently guarding this land and witnessing the rise and fall of the empire, like an eternal watcher, mysterious and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, the high priest's eyes, which were covered by the light green mask, revealed undisguised admiration, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Xian. Although she was a god-level strongman, had experienced countless years and had seen countless geniuses in the world, Zhou Xian's talent still shocked her. At the age of ten, he had already reached the realm of a ninth-level strongman. What was even more amazing was that he had all seven elements in his body. Such an outstanding qualification, even with her long life experience, had never been heard of. How could she not be moved?
Even though he was being watched so eagerly by a god-level expert, Zhou Xian's expression remained calm, as peaceful as a lake without waves. The corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and he said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, High Priest, but I am a casual person by nature, preferring a life of idleness and wildness, and it is not suitable for me to stay in one place for a long time."

The tone was neither hurried nor slow, humble yet firm, without any of the nervousness and awkwardness that one would have when facing a god-level powerhouse.
