Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 464 - 231: Eight Saints, Person of Divine Revelation, Undying Saint
The cultivator who came to notify had just spoken when Shen Yue, who suddenly awoke, promptly turned to stare at the man beside her.
It was obvious she wanted to know Lin Feng’s decision.
She hoped he would refuse to meet Li Family’s Li Mingquan and instead heed the Lord Bishop’s reminder to head to the church.
After all, her being assigned over was to prevent Lin Feng from making mistakes, especially with the Oasis Key he carried, which must not be lost.
And after thinking for several seconds, Lin Feng nodded and said:
"Alright, I’ll head to the church right away. Remember to notify the people from the Li Family outside that I’m unavailable at noon; if they want to meet, it has to be in the afternoon."
Having said that, Lin Feng, who was already overwhelmed and mentally exhausted from acquiring a lot of information and knowledge along with brainstorming and deliberation, closed the heavy Holy Spring Sect scriptures, stood up directly, and prepared to leave.
The books in the library are considered church secrets and cannot be borrowed or taken out; they can only be read within it.
So, Lin Feng stuffed the Holy Spring Scripture back into the bottom of the bookshelf, into a neglected corner.
Then, he followed the cultivator who had come to notify him, leaving the library where he had stayed for three hours.
Shen Yue rubbed her eyes and immediately got up to follow.
The three of them left the secret underground library and arrived at the top-floor Church District, entering the Great Cathedral.
Outside the hall, the cultivator stopped and turned back:
"The main hall is now closed. Apart from the Bishop and Father, and yourself, no one else is allowed to enter without permission."
Lin Feng nodded, looking at the two early Tier One combat priests guarding the main entrance. They possessed Level 13 evolution abilities, enough to stop ordinary mid-stage evolvers.
This place was also a critical checkpoint now.
After all, the command control room leading to the Oasis Central Hub was accessed from beneath the podium of the Great Cathedral through a secret passage.
Such an extremely hidden passage was only known to the highest echelons on the Oasis Battleship.
For example, Patriarch Li of the Li Family and Xu Wanfeng, President of the Hunting Wilderness Guild.
They had long lived in the Oasis, presumably also holding the responsibility of guarding these secret passages.
Lin Feng glanced back at Shen Yue, nodded towards her, then pushed open the door and entered.
The empty hall was silent.
Behind the main podium, the exquisite stained glass depicted beams of light.
Looking again at the Teaching Emblem on the glass image, with a circular manhole cover as the base, a blurred image of the Master of the Holy Spring was engraved in the middle, surrounded by the Eight Saints, the initial followers of the Master who became the Tier Three Kings.
In the grid, the Master of the Holy Spring stood in the center, while the Eight Saints occupied the surrounding eight squares.
This is the main structure of the Holy Spring Sect’s Teaching Emblem; the rest are decorations or embellishments, each different.
For instance, the Holy Wall on the small chapel in Holy Spring Village as seen by Lin Feng was rather simplistic, just a circle of thorn flowers of various colors and organizational emblems of the Holy Spring Sect.
Whereas in the present Great Cathedral, it was more refined.
Including even the growth experiences of the Master of the Holy Spring.
Major events recorded in the Holy Spring Scripture were depicted above, including the Master first stepping onto the land and being embraced by many survivors and Deserters to become the City Lord of Zhuma.
All around the outermost area, Golden Leaves were used as decorations, with pure gold leaves and vines, embedded in the glass, refracting sunlight, shining brightly.
Previously, Lin Feng had been an outer disciple, unable to discern the mysteries within the Teaching Emblem. After reading half of the Holy Spring Scriptures, he now understood the deeper meanings.
For instance, after the Master of the Holy Spring became a god, his image no longer appeared in the world, and even pictures were deliberately blurred over the face.
Lin Feng guessed it was to maintain the mystery of the deity.
Not to reveal his true form to mortals.
So, although everyone was grateful to the Master of the Holy Spring, those who truly knew or understood the Master probably only included Tier Three Bishops or some talented Second-tier Priests.
Lin Feng had heard Father Su An mention that during the second awakening trial in mid-stage evolution, if one’s superpower harmonized well with the Power of the Holy Spring, one could see the presence of the Master of the Holy Spring in the Spirit World.
Revering and meeting the real Master of the Holy Spring.
It was akin to meeting across time and space through genetic sequencing information.
This was called the Person of Divine Revelation in the Holy Spring Sect.
And once they had revered the Master, the Person of Divine Revelation could activate the Holy Spring Gene fused within, manifesting a superpower with a secondary trait derived from the unique ability of the Master of the Holy Spring.
This is very important, not only due to the powerful strength brought by dual superpowers but also due to the significance of harmony with the Power of the Holy Spring.
It implies a greater chance of breaking through the Third Stage to become a Bishop and growing into a Late Tier Three Saint of the Holy See in the future.
Within the church, the Late Tier Three Celestial Kings are called the Saints closest to the Master, and their leader is currently the Undying Saint serving as the Divine Envoy.
God’s representative, the actual manager of the church.
However, though there are many Persons of Divine Revelation, the number of Tier Three Bishops and Saints in the church grows slowly.
Even though the Holy Spring Sect has recruited talents from around the world, possessing the qualities for Tier Three elevation are in the hundreds, or at least 80 or 90...
Yet the competition among them is equally fierce.
After all, times are progressing, and the once mysterious and powerful evolution has been completely deciphered, even industrialized for mass cultivating evolvers.
Existences once thought to be Tier Three paragons may be renowned in the wasteland territories, but within top-tier large forces, while not as common as kings in modern times, are not rare.
