Human Clan Defender-Chapter 789 - s 105-106: Martial Dao Grand Institute, Rejection (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Pass)_4
"The Heaven and Earth Profound Technique has already left behind its legacy. With the Martial Arts syllabus completed, it now possesses a complete inheritance from Body Tempering to the Cave Heaven Realm. Even if I were to truly fall outside carelessly, this inheritance still has a glimmer of hope."
Having closed the Martial Arts syllabus, Shen Changqing felt he had settled one matter. The Martial Arts syllabus was complete. The Martial Institute was established. If all went well, the Human Clan would witness a flourishing era of the Martial Dao. This was very likely to be the most glorious period for the Human Clan since the Ancient Times. After all, since the Ancient Times, very few in the Human Clan had truly reached the Heaven Being Level on the path of the Martial Dao. But Shen Changqing believed that in the following decades, the Human Clan might see the emergence of quite a few Heaven Beings. As for the Immortal Golden Body and the Cave Heaven Realm, reaching them was entirely up to fate; these two Realms were not so easily broken through.
After taking a deep breath, just as Shen Changqing was about to rise and leave, he suddenly discovered a faint golden hue within his Sea of Consciousness. The golden hue was very faint, like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment. However, when his perception landed on that touch of gold, he felt a divine and majestic aura emanating from it. Shen Changqing could even hear some sounds and see some images from it.
"Defender Shen is the founder of the Martial Institute and is currently the foremost individual in the Martial Dao of the world. All who enter the Martial Institute must first pay respects to Defender Shen!"
"Defender Shen has pioneered the way of the Martial Dao, providing us with guidance. He truly deserves the title of a Saint."
"Today, this youngster will enter the Martial Institute, hopefully receiving the Martial Saint's blessing so that my Martial Dao journey may be smooth!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Martial Saint—"
There were the voices of the masses and the whispers of individuals. In the images, one could see the students who had entered the Martial Institute paying their respects beneath the statue. Streams of extremely faint golden light emerged from these students and flowed into the statue. Then, the statue emitted an almost imperceptible golden light that vanished into the void above. Ultimately, all of the golden light converged here. Afterward, an epiphany rose in Shen Changqing's heart: Faith!
He now understood that the golden color in his Sea of Consciousness was indeed the Power of Faith. With Martial Institutes established throughout Great Qin and his own statues placed within them, every person who entered the Martial Institutes would now first pay their respects to him. As a result, some people would develop a sense of faith in their hearts. This was particularly true since he himself was the Great Qin Defender and already had a substantial reputation among the Human Clan. Under various factors, the Power of Faith was thus generated.
In Ancient Times, the path beyond the God Realm was primarily based on faith, wasn't it!
Experiencing that divine aura, Shen Changqing felt the touch of such power for the first time. In the Ancient Times, Martial Artists had weak Divine Souls and were unable to further transform their Flesh. Therefore, they took an alternate path, using Destiny Sealing the Gods and Refining Heaven and Earth Destiny to strengthen their Divine Souls. Only after the Divine Soul had grown to a certain level would they gather faith to become true Divine Spirits. From this, it could be seen that the Power of Faith is of a high level; one simply cannot come into contact with or even refine it without having reached a certain stage.
Upon this realization, he refocused his attention on the Power of Faith within his Sea of Consciousness.
Now that I have coalesced the Power of Faith, if I were to refine this power, wouldn't it mean that I, too, can walk the path of the Ancient Times? Shen Changqing thought to himself.
When he tried to truly connect with that Power of Faith using his Divine Sense, a feeling of rejection and disgust suddenly surged up from the depths of his heart. This revulsion was an instinctive repulsion of his own, much like a normal person confronted with particularly disgusting food would instinctively feel repulsion and aversion, desperately wanting to avoid it.
