Chapter 644 The True Ming King (Three more updates please subscribe)
Just when the bell rang for the tenth time, the Tianxiang Divine Envoy drove the flying boat and hurried to the Bright Temple in the Central Sea.

Tianxiang's face showed a little fatigue at this time. Although her cultivation level had reached the Ninth Realm Super Emperor and her strength was equivalent to that of a candidate for a divine envoy, the high-speed running for twenty hours had almost exhausted her mental energy.

Just as Tianxiang, exhausted from crossing the numerous forbidden techniques, was about to enter the gate of the Guangming Main Altar, she heard a familiar, young, clear, and clean voice calling her, "Tianxiang Divine Envoy!"

Tianxiang turned her head to look to her side and found that Zhao Chongling, the messenger of the god of wealth, was standing 40 feet away, looking at her with a slight smile.

This man looked to be in his twenties, and looked like a young man from a wealthy family. He was graceful and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing, like a handsome jade tree in the wind.

"Good Fortune Divine Envoy!" The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy bowed to Good Fortune Divine Envoy, then asked with a puzzled look, "Why is Brother Zhao here? The bell has rung ten times, and the Bright King is about to take his seat. Shouldn't Brother Zhao be in the Great Hall, serving before the Bright King?"

According to the rules, before the Bright Assembly is held, the Three Pillars, Five Envoys, and Seven Kings of the religion must stand before the Ming King and chant scriptures and pray, unless there are urgent matters, until the Ming King takes his seat on the altar.

"I just came out of the Daming Hall."

Zhao Chongling, the Good Fortune Divine Envoy, casually walked over to the side of the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. "I saw that so-called new Lord of Light. He's only reached the sixth realm of cultivation, and he's a young man who hides his true face and dares not show it to anyone. I felt really bad, and I couldn't stand the atmosphere in the Great Hall, so I came out for a walk to relax."

His expression was gloomy, and his words were tinged with sarcasm. "Why is the Invincible Dharma King willing to welcome this child as the Ming King? It turns out that this Ming King is so weak that she can manipulate him. This woman is planning to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to control the princes. If my Church of Light falls into her hands, I really don't know where it will go."

The corners of Tianxiang's envoy's lips twitched slightly, and he thought that the young man Zhao Chongling was talking about was actually the hidden prince Lin Hao of the Song Dynasty!
It only took him one year to become the commander of the Song Dynasty's Anti-Traitor Bureau and a member of the cabinet. He is not "weak" at all.

The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy was actually quite surprised by Wudi's courage and confidence. Did she think she could control Lin Hao? Control the Hidden Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty?

She also knew one thing—their new Ming Wang, before he obtained the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, was the Lord of Purity! A demigod!
This is the existence that can bring true light to their Church of Light and to 2.7 billion believers!

He will ascend to heaven and become the true Lord of Light!
Tianxiang shook her head slightly: "Brother Zhao, His Majesty the Ming King is the chosen one of the Holy Thunder and Fire. There must be a reason why the Supreme Sacred Artifact chose him as its master. We must not be disrespectful!"

When Zhao Chongling heard this, the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger.

Thirteen years ago, the Holy Thunder Fire also chose Yin Qianqiu, but it caused the Church of Light to decline, leaving him extremely disappointed.

Zhao Chongling's expression remained unchanged. Instead of refuting, he nodded in agreement, "The Holy Fire chose him as the Ming King for a reason. The Ming King's aptitude and talent are undoubtedly the most suitable for the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire'. There's no doubt about that."

Then he changed his tone and said, "However, Ming Wang's cultivation is indeed too low, not enough to support the foundation of our sect. At a time when the situation of the Divine Sect is precarious, the power of the sect is about to fall into the hands of an extraterritorial demon who disregards the sect's rules and regulations. I and many of my fellow believers are deeply worried and concerned about where he will lead the Divine Sect."

The Tianxiang Divine Envoy's eyes narrowed, realizing that Zhao Chongling was waiting for her at the main altar door on purpose, perhaps for other purposes.

Who are the fellow believers that Zhao Chongling mentioned?
She asked calmly, "So, in Brother Zhao's opinion, what should we do?"

"Tianxiang!" Zhao Chongling sighed, his voice heavy, "Wudi has offended too many people, and his methods are too harsh and cruel. Over the past three years, his followers have repeatedly resisted taxes and laws, causing riots in various places. They are even unwilling to pay a single pound of tax, which is tantamount to rebellion. They have been regarded as a thorn in the side of the four great dynasties and Zhongzhou. Therefore, I predict that in the next year, the five abysses will do their utmost to strike back at our sect.

Even the attitudes of the extraterritorial demons and the three gods of purgatory are hard to predict. Normally, both sides support our religion, but Wudi is a bit sloppy and has cost them countless millions of dollars. If she takes over, the Church of Light will be completely hostile. Our already limited financial resources will be severely impacted, which would be a disaster for many of our fellow believers. Therefore, I would like to gather like-minded people within the church to work together to check and balance Wudi and rectify the Church. What do you think, Tianxiang?

The Heavenly Fragrance Envoy's eyes flickered, and instead of answering, he asked, "Brother Zhao, your words do make sense. However, in today's world, many people have already regarded the Divine Religion as meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will. Brother Zhao, are you confident that you can convince them to put aside their greed and not slaughter us?"

Seeing Zhao Chongling frowning and choking in silence, she added sincerely, "Brother Zhao, whether Wudi is an extraterritorial demon or not is still undetermined. And considering the current situation within the sect, it's not a bad thing for Wudi to step forward. I beg you, Brother Zhao, to prioritize the greater good and do this with reluctance!"

"I will naturally consider the overall situation and try my best to maintain it, but..."

Zhao Chongling gave a bitter laugh, then his expression darkened. "The other brothers in the sect may not think so. I simply want to stop the Invincible Dharma King from seizing all the power in the sect, but the others might even be thinking of apostasy and establishing their own sect. They won't sit idly by and watch Invincible take over the sect, especially the Vice Sect Leader, Master Wanyan."

He turned his head with a serious look towards the main altar. "According to the rules of the sect, the new 'Ming Wang' must not only be recognized by the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire', but must also ascend the altar! If that Ming Wang loses his balance at the 'Glorious Altar', there could be a turmoil today. If this is not handled properly, our Church of Light might crumble today."

The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy frowned slightly upon hearing this. What Zhao Chongling said was indeed what worried her the most.

At this time, the eleventh bell rang from inside the main altar.

Zhao Chongling shook his head, a smile returning to his face. "Let's not talk about it anymore. The matter is settled. What can we do? Anyway, let's just wait and see. By the way, I heard that Wudi was able to kill Yin Qianqiu because of you, Tianxiang? Did you guide Wudi to find Yin Qianqiu?"

He really didn't expect that the Tianxiang Divine Envoy would have such courage.

There are many people in the sect who want to kill Yin Qianqiu, but only Wudi and Tianxiang dare to do it.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Tianxiang's face turned cold after hearing this. "Yin Qianqiu died at the hands of Luo Wangshu and Lin Hao of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has already announced this. Wudi and I just had important matters to attend to within the sect and wanted to report to Yin Qianqiu in person. We happened to be there at the time."

In the next few years, the Church of Light must rely on the Invincible King to fight against the raging wolves from the outside world, and she herself must fully help and support the King, so she must not let herself and the Invincible be in a suspicious position.

Even if it was for the sake of uniting the followers, she could not let Wudi bear the crime of killing the leader.

Lin Hao was different. When he killed Yin Qianqiu, he had not yet joined the Church of Light. Zhao Chongling chuckled slightly upon hearing this, his eyes revealing something ambiguous.

The Tianxiang Divine Envoy was too lazy to fight with this guy and flew directly into the Guangming Main Temple.

This main temple of light was actually renovated by the seventh generation leader based on the wreckage of a "Star-class" colonial battleship eight hundred years ago.

At that time, the Earth Federation was full of confidence in the country's war technology, and hastily launched a colonial war after less than 12 years of observation by long-range satellites. They lacked understanding of the conceptual power and abyss within Tianji Star, and also underestimated the conceptual power of Tianji Star's high-level martial artists.

Therefore, this group of star-level colonial battleships were built large and magnificent, not only 60 miles long but also 12 miles wide. As a result, the battleships' defensive force fields were very weak, and they were easily sunk by the Tianji star warriors.

However, after the wreckage of the battleship was combined with the rune technology of Tianjixing and transformed into the headquarters of the Church of Light, it became the most reliable shelter of the Church.

It can navigate the deep sea and underground, and has avoided searches by the five abysses dozens of times.

The divine envoy of Tianxiang passed through the numerous buildings inside the main altar and came to the "Da Ming Hall" built in the center of the main altar.

This is a grand hall supported by seventy-two giant pillars, with hollowed-out walls on all four sides, beautiful carvings, and a magnificent and majestic appearance.

When the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy entered, many high-ranking members of the sect, led by Deputy Sect Leader Wan Lei Yuanjun, Deputy Sect Leader Wan Yan Jushi, Bright and Sage Lord Gong Bonan, Wisdom Divine Envoy Xiao Xingyi, Judgment Divine Envoy Zhuang Fatian, Demon-Suppressing Divine Envoy Fang Junhao, Protector Dharma King Bai Xishi, Heavenly Sword Dharma King Wu Wushuang, Divine Power Dharma King Niu Tao, and War of Heaven Dharma King Fei Yi, as well as more than one hundred red-robed chief priests, all sat cross-legged in the hall, chanting scriptures.

The Divine Envoy of Heavenly Fragrance also saw the Invincible Dharma King, who was sitting at the lower left of the throne of the Ming King, implicitly placing her status above everyone else.

——In this Great Hall, two of the three pillars of the religion have come, all five divine messengers have arrived, and five of the seven Dharma Kings of the religion have come, and only two have not arrived yet.

The Divine Envoy of Tianxiang was relieved at first. Due to the strong demands of the Invincible Dharma King and the tense situation in the sect, this Conference of Light was held in a hurry.

This shows that the appeal of the 'Holy Thunder Fire' and the 'Glorious Altar' is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter how angry or dissatisfied the three pillars, five envoys and seven kings of the church are, they dare not miss this sacred ceremony of the Church of Light.

However, the words of the Good Fortune Envoy Zhao Chongling and the fact that the White-Eyebrowed Dharma King Yin Wansui had not yet arrived cast a shadow over the heart of the Heavenly Fragrance Envoy.

The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy looked at Lin Hao again, and saw that he was wearing a set of Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor, sitting calmly on the throne.

After a brief moment of contemplation, she walked over and bowed before Lin Hao's throne. "The Divine Envoy Tianxiang pays homage to the Ming King. May the Ming King shine his light upon the world for eternity! Please also forgive Tianxiang for being late!"

Seeing this, Lin Rui smiled and said, "Get up! I heard from the Invincible Dharma King that you have a long journey. It's not intentional that you are late. What's wrong with that? Please take your seat!"

This is the only subordinate that Lin Rui can conquer in the Church of Light in the near future, so he still attaches great importance to courtesy.

The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy then bowed his head and said, "Also, Heavenly Fragrance has another unkind favor to pay. Your Highness, please ascend the altar later and be sure to sit firmly on the sacred fire!"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the Daming Hall, led by the Invincible Dharma King, looked up at the Heavenly Fragrance Envoy in shock.

Zhao Chongling, the 'God of Good Fortune', opened his eyes slightly and looked at Tianxiang in disbelief, wondering if Tianxiang was crazy?
The magnificent altar of the Church of Light, where the 'Holy Thunder and Fire' are enshrined, is the gathering place of the faith of 2.7 billion believers in the pursuit of light. However, the new 'King of Light' is only at the sixth level of cultivation and is unable to control the 'Holy Thunder and Fire'. How can he possibly suppress the power of light on the altar?

This "Ming Wang" may be burned into a torch by the faith of 2.7 billion believers as soon as he is confirmed.

Not to mention the Sixth Realm 'Ming Wang', even Yin Qianqiu wouldn't dare sit on the altar.

Wan Lei Yuan Jun frowned upon hearing this, wondering what the hell Tian Xiang was up to.
Didn't this girl see that the atmosphere in the Great Hall was already tense? If the situation in the sect changed again, it might even fall apart and be destroyed today.

Monk Wanyan was extremely surprised and confused, wondering what Tianxiang was up to? Was she trying to have the new Mingwang burned to death?
Mr. Wanyan then sneered indifferently, he had made up his mind.

No matter what the situation is next, as long as Wudi has any intention of seizing power, he will lead the gods and the kings of law to challenge him in court.

This woman is too overbearing. If she were to take charge of the Divine Religion, the livelihoods of the many churches under the Divine Religion would definitely be greatly affected, making it difficult for tens of millions of believers to make a living.

The Invincible Dharma King's eyes narrowed, and then he calmed down.

She is fully confident in her own abilities and is sure that no matter what changes occur in the upcoming Light Conference, she will be able to suppress them!

The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy continued to prostrate himself, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Your Highness, Tianxiang knows that these words were impertinent and disrespectful, and I am willing to accept the punishment afterwards! However, this matter concerns the rise and fall of the Church of Light. I beg Your Highness to obey my orders and sit firmly atop the altar, upon the 'Holy Fire'!"

She believed that Lin Hao would be able to hold his position firmly. Not only was he a demigod, he also possessed the "Heart of Light" that Yin Qianqiu did not have.

Only when Lin Hao sits firmly on the glorious altar can he truly gain the recognition of those saints of light, the numerous middle and low-level priests of the Divine Religion, and the 2.7 billion believers, and be recognized as the true "Ming Wang"!
