Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 642 - 596: Belief Power Hazard

In the depths of the Heavenly Abyss, the masters of the Corpse-Driving Sect bear the hopes of their sect and an unimaginable burden.

However, for the ordinary disciples within the Corpse-Driving Sect and the common people of the Zhao Kingdom, they remain unaware of these undercurrents and are instead the beneficiaries of this upheaval.

Due to the heavy blow dealt to Cyan Wolf Ridge by the fierce members of the Taiyi Sect, a long-lost peace and tranquility were brought to the Zhao Kingdom.

The border cities gradually regained their popularity, with agriculture, commerce, industry, and animal husbandry restarting, and the national strength of the Zhao Kingdom recovering at a rapid pace.

Of course, this is known to the middle and upper management of the Corpse-Driving Sect from higher levels of authority.

These good days can be maintained for seven or eight years at most.

When the sect’s only Golden Core Master, Master Cang Yu, exhausts his lifespan, Cyan Wolf Ridge will undoubtedly launch a powerful counterattack, marking a true life-and-death situation.

At Wendao Peak, inside Yanbo Cave’s residence, in a spacious room.

Two young men, identical in appearance and possessing sharp features, sit face-to-face with their legs crossed. They are none other than Lou Yi and his Doppelgänger.

As the strength of the Zhao Kingdom gradually recovers, combined with Lou Yi’s previous dominant victory over the Wolf Clan prodigy outside Huai City, and his widely circulated feats of defeating masters from the Thunder Shock Sect in a few moves...

He has gained a multitude of followers in the Northern Domain, although most are located in the Zhao Kingdom.

The Belief Power has undergone two substantial leaps, growing from the size of an apricot to the size of a goose egg, with a tendency to continue expanding.

The Belief Power, once the size of a droplet, can now enable Lou Yi’s Doppelgänger to unleash combat power exceeding his true self.

Currently, even Lou Yi is unsure to what extent the strength of his Doppelgänger can reach.

Clearly, the combination of the Doppelgänger with the Faith Liquid Block has become his greatest trump card.

"Son, we must remember the kindness of the Red Hero; we won’t be able to repay it in this lifetime..."

"I too want to become an Immortal Master and become a significant figure like the Red Hero in the future!"

"When I grow up, I want to marry a great hero like the Red Hero who stands tall and firm..."

Various voices, heartfelt words, and on-site images transmitted along those currently invisible lines of Belief Power into the Middle Dantian of the Doppelgänger, to be clearly perceived by Lou Yi.

Suddenly, Lou Yi’s Doppelgänger felt a surge of unease, as if impending disaster loomed.

Instinctively, he activated the only talent from the original body – Disguise, which gradually eased the feeling of unease.

’What’s going on?’

Lou Yi calculated with his fingers and realized the danger was caused by Belief Power.

He recalled Elder Qian Yuan’s words that Belief Power is toxic.

He also remembered the warning from Fairy Biluo, Xin Zhiqi, that Belief Power might be related to the Heavenly Tribulation, and his expression became somewhat unpredictable.

Zhao Kingdom, Huai City.

A brand-new shrine, covering an area of seven to eight acres, had been completed.

The shrine had neat blue stone pathways laid inside, with various green plants and flowers planted on the surrounding empty spaces.

In front of the main hall in the deepest part, stood a three-zhang-tall bronze statue.

The statue depicted a man appearing to be in his thirties, hands behind his back, with a plain appearance, save for his brilliant eyes.

The black plaque above the entrance of the shrine was inscribed with the three golden characters ’Red Hero Shrine’.

Since ancient times, building a shrine for a living person is an honor only for those with high status or immense contribution.

Thus, the Red Hero Shrine enjoys great popularity.

Though newly built for only a few days, the coming and going of people was already overwhelming.

Elderly people, women, children, and even cultivators in Daoist Robes and ragged-clothed beggars...

Each of them poured into the main hall, offering their respects and prayers, with fervently devoted expressions.

"If not for the Red Hero driving away the Demon Clan, we would still be living in dire circumstances. The Red Hero is a great benefactor to all of us!"

"That’s right. I’ve been able to sleep peacefully every day recently, all thanks to the old Red Hero himself."

"Red Hero, my wife is pregnant and I hope for a big, healthy son; could you give me your blessing?"

"Come on, the Red Hero is responsible for dealing with worldly matters, and you come to him for having a child too?"

The main hall was bustling with a lively atmosphere.

In a clean room in the deepest part of the Red Hero Shrine, several extraordinary people sat around a square sandalwood table, chatting casually.

"Landlord Guo, you truly spared no expense in building this Red Hero Shrine – in the future, not only Huai City, but likely the entire Zhao Kingdom will come to worship."

"Given the prosperous situation these days, the Red Hero Shrine is bound to soon become one of the most heavily worshiped shrines in Zhao!"

The man referred to as Landlord Guo, a middle-aged, affluent man in a blue satin robe, spoke earnestly:

"We do not emulate other Daoist Temples by charging incense money; otherwise, over time, disputes would arise, and the Red Hero might blame me.

We do not earn silver from this. We just wish for the Red Hero’s long life, peace, and happiness."

Upon hearing the affluent man’s words, the others were filled with respect.

These people did not know.

At that moment, several men in Daoist Robes were stepping into the newly built Red Hero Shrine.

The surrounding common folks seemed to be unable to see them.

Led by a gray-robed elder, these Daoists were accompanied by two middle-aged men in deep blue Daoist Robes.

"Elder, the City Lord’s Mansion has already reported to us that a new shrine has been established in Huai City.

According to our sect’s rules, this shrine is to be destroyed.

But this shrine was founded for the Red Hero, so...", hesitated the middle-aged cultivator.

"Destroying shrines is not aimed at those who previously built shrines, but rather to protect them.
