Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 643 - 596: Belief Power Hidden Danger (2)

"However, since this matter involves the Red Hero, it’s best not to act rashly. I’ll communicate with him first," the gray-robed elder said with a smile.

As they walked and talked, they quickly arrived at the hidden house where the wealthy middle-aged man and his companions were.

The group of wealthy men in blue silk garments continued chatting as if they couldn’t see them at all.

The elder’s cloudy eyes suddenly shone, flashing with a bright white light.

In his eyes, an invisible thread stretched from the wealthy man’s body into the depths of the void.

Suddenly, a white light flew out from the elder, extending towards the thread.

When the two connected, the wealthy man shuddered, his eyes becoming unfocused before slowly closing.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away.

Lou Yi’s clone furrowed his brow and closed his eyes as well.

"Red Hero, are you there?"

"Red Hero, are you there?"

The clone heard someone calling him, the voice aged yet benevolent.

Immersing all his focus into the faith liquid block, Lou Yi quickly located the source of the voice. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

It came from the loyal believer he had encountered several times in Huai City, the wealthy man.

And the Daoists beside the wealthy man.

One of them, an elder, was shrouded in a hazy, milky white light, with a deep, unfathomable aura.

’Fake Pill Elder?’

Seeing this, Lou Yi’s heart trembled.

The sensation the elder gave him was identical to that of Elder Qian Yuan.

Furthermore, he wore the gray Daoist robe exclusive to the Sect Leader and Fake Pill Elders of the Corpse-Driving Sect.

However, Lou Yi was now the Red Hero, and shouldn’t have been able to discern the elder’s true identity.

Thus, Lou Yi asked, "Esteemed elder, what is your purpose in summoning me?"

"Red Hero, I am an elder of the Corpse-Driving Sect, with the Daoist name Shenguang.

I just received a report from sect members that a shrine dedicated to you has been established in Huai City," the gray-robed elder stated his intentions directly. "You have a considerable number of believers in Zhao Kingdom.

I know you didn’t actively develop this, but they have formed a notable scale on their own.

Right now, it might seem negligible.

But over time, it will certainly affect you, and you might face the heavenly tribulation sooner than expected."

"What?" Lou Yi’s scalp tingled upon hearing this, and he asked, "Please enlighten me, Shenguang Elder."

"I’m a Fake Pill; my power almost entirely derives from a massive belief power in a small world.

The Corpse-Driving Sect has several people like me.

After cultivating successfully, none dare return to their small world for life," the gray-robed elder said plainly. "Because any step into our small world.

The heavenly tribulation will inevitably descend to slay us, never ending."

Lou Yi immediately understood.

Why Elder Qian Yuan previously appointed disciples to execute tasks in his small world instead of going himself.

It’s all due to the fear of the heavenly tribulation.

The gray-robed elder continued, "Now, you should know why in the main world, we don’t develop believers.

This is intolerable to the heavens.

Once believers reach a certain scale, the heavenly way will sense them, and descend thunder for punishment."

"Initially, the thunder’s strength can’t compare to the Golden Core’s heavenly tribulation.

But it will grow stronger each time until eventually, it might surpass even the Golden Core Tribulation."

Shenguang Elder finally said, "I tell you this to inform you.

If you sense the impending heavenly tribulation, let me know.

I can order people to destroy or shut down the shrines, even now if you wish..."

Shenguang Elder refrained from mentioning that destroying the shrines would surely incur massive resentment from the populace.

But given the Red Hero’s relationship with the Corpse-Driving Sect, the sect could bear the blame for him.

"Thank you for informing me, elder," Lou Yi said solemnly. "Currently, I haven’t sensed any danger, but I will definitely notify you beforehand if needed."

"Alright, if you ever need assistance, you can come to me," Shenguang Elder finished, producing an invisible gray talisman paper.

It flew over to stick tightly onto the leg of a nearby rosewood table.

He and the two cultivators beside him promptly departed the Red Hero shrine, unnoticed as though they had never been there.

Meanwhile, Lou Yi’s clone severed his connection with the believers, beginning to ponder.

’Faith power reaching a certain level brings heavenly thunder for annihilation, no wonder no one develops believers in the main world.’

’The clone’s faith power is likely nearing that threshold; otherwise, I wouldn’t sense danger.’

’But abandoning the faith power is quite a waste; such a great ace... there might be a way to resolve this.’

Without hesitation, Lou Yi led his clone out of the sect’s confines, swiftly arriving at a desolate hill dozens of miles away.

Lou Yi’s clone immediately deactivated the Talent Disguise.

Instantly, he once again sensed the looming threat, tingling his scalp.

With awareness, this time he could clearly feel the threat coming from the sky above him.

As Lou Yi’s clone gradually released his aura, recklessly even stimulating a bit of faith power.

A large swath of ominous clouds rapidly gathered directly above.

The surrounding world became somber and oppressive.

Simultaneously, Lou Yi’s clone felt his body stiffen significantly, while sharp pains sporadically flared deep in his brain.

"Disguise."

Activating the sole Talent Disguise, the cloud gathering speed abruptly slowed, and the previously perceived threat vanished completely.

’The Talent Disguise can interfere and deceive heavenly secrets, truly effective.’
