Chapter 61 Demon Commander! Monsters and demons, get out of here!
No effect?
Looking at Yu Tiancang, who was completely different from his usual self, Lu Jin felt that the holy water was very effective.
One must know, this was the Temple of Emperor Holy City.
The blessed holy water here was even more potent than the blessed holy water on the market!
Watching Yu Tiancang struggle, Lu Jin asked the Sanctuary Priest to use the blessed holy water once more.
The Sanctuary Priest looked at Yu Tiancang, hesitated for a moment, then brought another cup of blessed holy water.
With a splash… Yu Tiancang was drenched like a drowned rat.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang's body began to emit a large amount of black smoke filled with ominous aura.
The surrounding Sanctuary Warriorss, sensing the aura of this black smoke, immediately drew their weapons from their waists.
The Sanctuary Priests also shifted their gaze to Yu Tiancang.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Temple became tense.
The Sanctuary Priests faced him as if facing a formidable enemy, their eyes fixed on Yu Tiancang.
The black smoke, symbolizing ill omens, gradually gathered in the air, forming a phantom image.
Under everyone's gaze, this phantom image gradually solidified, as if transforming into a physical entity appearing in the Temple.
"Damn Golden Humans! Do you really think you can drive me out of this person with just this much?"
"If you treat me as an ordinary demon, then you are greatly mistaken!"
"Although holy water can restrain demons, it's still too weak to deal with me!"
Saying this, the physical entity once again transformed into black smoke and drilled into Yu Tiancang's body.
At this moment, even the Sanctuary Priests could no longer hold back.
The surrounding Sanctuary Warriorss directly surrounded him!
"The demon on this person is not an ordinary demon; the holy water has no effect on him."
"More words are useless. As long as we kill this guy, the demon will lose its connection and naturally disappear!"
"Exactly! Just kill him, lest the Holy City suffer the demon's erosion!"
With a clang, one of the Sanctuary Warriorss directly drew the long sword from his waist.
The alloy blade, at this moment, emitted a chilling sharpness.
As that Sanctuary Warriors gradually approached Yu Tiancang, Lu Jin stepped forward, blocking everyone's path.
"If you cannot deal with this demon, then why not let me try?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Sanctuary Priests, Sanctuary Warriorss, and Holy City Guards present focused their attention on Lu Jin.
In their opinion, how could Lu Jin, a Blue Star Human who had never encountered exorcism, possibly expel the powerful demon on Yu Tiancang?
Clearly, the Sanctuary Priests and Sanctuary Warriorss did not believe Lu Jin at all.
"I advise you to step aside, otherwise, you will be cut down along with him!"
"This demon is very likely a Demon Commander, and you don't understand the power of a Demon Commander."
"Once the time is ripe, he will become an anchor point between the Subspace and the Star Sea, summoning endless demons."
"And the Demon Commander itself, even if killed, will only return to the Subspace, and it won't be long before it makes a comeback."
"Therefore, I cannot allow this possessed Blue Star Human to survive in the Holy City. The longer we delay, the more dangerous the Holy City becomes!"
Saying this, the Sanctuary Warriors had already pointed his blade at Lu Jin.
It was clear that if Lu Jin didn't move, he would really act.
But Lu Jin remained neither humble nor arrogant, standing there as if he hadn't seen the blade in the other's hand.
"But what if I can not only dispel the Demon Commander but also severely wound its true body in the Subspace? Can you accept this method?"
Severely wound its true body in the Subspace?
Hearing this, one of the Sanctuary Priests narrowed his eyes.
His gaze fell on Lu Jin, full of scrutiny.
One must know, the form in which a Subspace Demon appears in the real Star Sea is similar to its projection in this world.
Even defeating it would only cause some damage to its true body in the Subspace.
Once they recuperate and find a suitable anchor point, they will make a comeback.
This is also why Subspace Demons cannot be eradicated.
But if it were possible to severely wound the Demon Commander's true body in the Subspace, for the Holy City, it would undoubtedly delay the actions of a Demon Commander.
"Since you can say such words, it indicates that you do have some understanding of Subspace Demons."
"Very well, I will give you this chance, but I will only give you one hour."
One hour, Lu Jin chuckled lightly.
That's enough!
With the resources of the Holy City, completing the exorcism ritual would be incredibly easy.
Originally, Lu Jin thought that the demon possessing Yu Tiancang was at most a low-level demon.
Now it seems he had actually caught a big fish!
If he could severely wound the Subspace Demon Commander here, it would be a huge opportunity to weaken it for the future Assimilation War.
"I need mithril, blessed holy water, black steel alloy, Atium metal…"
Lu Jin rattled off the names of many materials.
With the help of the Holy City Guard, Lu Jin quickly gathered all the materials.
Next, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Jin fused these materials together as if performing alchemy.
The Sanctuary Priests and Sanctuary Warriorss nearby couldn't help but frown.
They had witnessed countless creatures possessed by demons and had participated in countless exorcism rituals.
But they had never seen such a strange method of exorcism as Lu Jin's!
Watching time pass minute by minute, after adding the last material, Lu Jin directly fashioned the synthesized metal into an exorcism rod.
Everything in the universe has its natural enemy, perhaps other creatures, or perhaps a certain substance in the universe.
Even the seemingly indestructible Demon Commander also has its dreaded nemesis!
Each Demon Commander's weakness is different; some might fear weapons made of mithril, while others might react strongly to rare dragon's blood.
And before Lu Jin could determine what kind of Demon Commander it was, he could only fuse all the weak substances he knew of together!
Holding the exorcism rod, Lu Jin gradually approached Yu Tiancang.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang had fallen into a coma, but behind him, the figure of the Demon Commander reappeared.
"Boy, even the Sanctuary Priests couldn't deal with me. Do you think your exorcism methods are really useful?"
"Whether it's useful or not, we'll only know after trying!"
Lu Jin finally poured the purest blessed holy water from the Temple onto the exorcism rod.
And at this moment, the Demon Commander was unusually silent.
Before the other party could react, Lu Jin directly swung a strike at the phantom image of the Demon Commander in the air.
Instantly, black smoke rose, and the Demon Commander let out a piercing scream.
Such an effect left the surrounding Sanctuary Priests stunned.
It actually worked?!

Chapter 62 The Holy Emperor Manifests His Power! The One Who Bestows Blessings!
"Damn it! How did you know my weakness!"
Not only the Sanctuary Priests but even the Demon Commander couldn't understand.
The Subspace Demon race had been dormant for many years, and this was its first time manifesting its projection in the real star sea.
But why, on its first appearance, was its weakness immediately found by this Blue Star Human?
Seeing this, Lu Jin's lips curled slightly upward.
It seemed his luck was quite good.
Among the many materials making up this exorcism rod, there happened to be the Demon Commander's weakness!
Thus, Lu Jin seized the opportunity, swinging the exorcism rod again.
This time, the Demon Commander was cut in half at the waist, and dark demonic essence directly overflowed from Yu Tiancang's body.
The Demon Commander decided to deal with this Blue Star Human first!
He actually possessed the weaknesses of the Subspace Demons; this person absolutely could not be allowed to live!
Thinking this, the Demon Commander directly lunged at Lu Jin.
"So what if you know my weakness?"
"If I die, I can reconstruct a projection in the Subspace, but if you die, you're truly dead!"
The Demon Commander intended to drag Lu Jin down with him before his demise.
This situation left everyone momentarily stunned.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Commander was so decisive, facing Lu Jin's exorcism rod and choosing to eliminate the source first.
"Stop him quickly! He absolutely cannot be allowed to harm Brother Lu Jin!"
"It's too late! The cunning demon has gone straight for Lu Jin!"
"Be careful! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, everyone around began to approach Lu Jin.
Even the Sanctuary Warriorss and Sanctuary Priests now understood Lu Jin's importance, and their expressions changed in this situation.
And just then, the Sacred Emperor statue in the center of the Temple suddenly changed.
A dazzling golden light, with lightning speed, directly landed around Lu Jin.
Enveloped in golden light, the Demon Commander crashed into it.
The next second, the Demon Commander's body melted and rapidly disappeared, like ice encountering hot iron.
"What?! This is the power of His Majesty the Sacred Emperor!"
"Impossible! He's still alive?!"
Before the Demon Commander could finish speaking, his entire body had already dissipated into the air.
Now, the entire Temple, let alone the gloomy atmosphere that had previously disappeared, was filled with a heartwarming aura like the sun.
And the Sanctuary Warriorss and Sanctuary Priests witnessed everything that had just happened.
They looked at the Sacred Emperor's statue, then at the golden light gradually dissipating around Lu Jin.
"It's... His Majesty the Sacred Emperor manifesting his power!"
"I knew it, His Majesty the Sacred Emperor has always been watching over and protecting us!"
"Great Sacred Emperor, your people thank you for slaying the demon!"
"What an ignorant demon, daring to commit evil within the Temple protected by the Sacred Emperor!"
And Lu Jin looked at the dissipated Demon Commander, and after confirming his complete demise, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed coming to the Holy City to exorcise demons was the most correct choice.
From the very beginning, upon encountering Yu Tiancang and learning he was possessed by a demon, Lu Jin already had countermeasures.
If he had directly used the exorcism rod then, there was a high probability that he or Yu Tiancang would have been wiped out by the Demon Commander.
But now, being in the Holy City protected by the Sacred Emperor, he had a certain degree of assurance.
Immediately, Lu Jin's gaze fell on the Sacred Emperor's statue.
That golden light just now was clearly the power bestowed by the Sacred Emperor.
It was because of this power that Lu Jin was able to avoid the Demon Commander's attack.
But if the Sacred Emperor could intervene, why didn't he do so from the start?
And in his memory, the Sacred Emperor's power was supposed to fully recover during the Assimilation War.
Why had he awakened early and bestowed divine power now?
A series of questions surfaced in Lu Jin's mind, and his gaze met the eyes of the Sacred Emperor's statue.
And at this moment, Lu Jin suddenly felt as if the statue in front of him had come alive.
The Sacred Emperor's gaze met his, as if seeing directly through his soul!
Noticing the anomaly, Lu Jin immediately averted his gaze.
When he looked again, the statue seemed to be merely a statue!
Was it an illusion?
But before Lu Jin could ponder further, the statue in front of him emitted a faint glow again.
Two rays of light, like shooting stars, flew out from the statue's hands, drilling into Lu Jin's and Yu Tiancang's bodies respectively.
This sudden change shocked everyone again!
And after this stream of light entered Yu Tiancang's body, Yu Tiancang also awoke from his coma.
Yu Tiancang had been unconscious since the Demon Commander appeared, and now he felt a warm power changing his body.
So, he awoke from his coma, and the first thing that met his eyes were the fanatical Sanctuary Priests.
"Another miracle! His Majesty the Sacred Emperor has actually bestowed blessings upon both of them!"
"In a single day, the Sacred Emperor has displayed two miracles consecutively!"
"They have received the Sacred Emperor's recognition!"
"Unexpectedly, Blue Star Humans can also receive the Sacred Emperor's recognition. Is His Majesty the Sacred Emperor telling us that Blue Star Humans are also his people?"
"The Sacred Emperor, with his great magnanimity, loves every human being immensely!"
"It seems it's time for us to discuss an alliance with the Solar Alliance."
As for Lu Jin and Yu Tiancang, the parties involved, both were bewildered.
Blessing?
What was that?
Immediately after, the Sanctuary Priests came before Lu Jin and Yu Tiancang.
At this moment, their expressions were extremely devout, and they were incredibly solemn when facing Lu Jin.
It was as if Lu Jin at this moment was an envoy of the Sacred Emperor walking in the world.
Among the Sanctuary Priests, an older Sanctuary Priest stepped forward.
He first bowed slightly to Lu Jin and Yu Tiancang, then introduced himself.
"My name is Cong Tianxing, and I am the Sanctuary Priest of this Temple."
"Today's exorcism ritual has truly given us too much shock!"
"His Majesty the Sacred Emperor has displayed two miracles in one day for the first time, and bestowed blessings upon both of you."
"This indicates that both of you have received His Majesty the Sacred Emperor's deep recognition. As a Temple Priest, I hope both of you can cooperate with us."
"In the Holy City's treasury, there are many treasures bestowed by His Majesty the Sacred Emperor, and only those with blessings can obtain them."
"Therefore, if both of you can activate the treasures in the treasury, we will present these treasures to you."
"And both of you only need to agree to one small request from us."
Treasures?
Gift?
Such a good thing?
Yu Tiancang naturally wouldn't refuse, and Lu Jin even less so.
Things that these Sanctuary Priests called "treasures" were naturally genuinely good things.
Seeing Lu Jin and Yu Tiancang agree, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing proactively led the way.
And the surrounding Sanctuary Warriorss and Holy City Guards, upon seeing Lu Jin and Yu Tiancang become blessed individuals, all offered their congratulations.

Chapter 63 Divine Emperor's Treasure! Imperial Guard Psionic Armor!
"I knew it! Given Brother Lu Jin's level of faith, receiving a blessing was entirely expected!"
"I didn't expect that guy possessed by a Demon Commander could also receive a blessing."
"Under the possession of a Demon Commander, he hasn't been corrupted or fallen to this day. His great willpower is not something we can compare to!"
"More and more blessed individuals have appeared recently. I wonder when all the treasures in the vault will see the light of day again."
Before long, led by the Temple Priest, Lu Jin and Yu Tiancang arrived at the Holy City's vault.
A true treasure trove!
All sorts of rare and exotic treasures were displayed within, spotless.
But Lu Jin simply glanced around and found that all the rare treasures were in an unactivated state.
This caused the entire vault, despite holding a large number of rare treasures, to be filled with a lifeless atmosphere.
"This is our Holy City's vault. The rare treasures bestowed upon the Golden Humans by the Sacred Emperor are all stored here."
"And these rare treasures can only be activated by blessed individuals, so please, both of you, touch these treasures."
"If you can activate these rare treasures, I can take the liberty of transferring ownership of them to you!"
After listening, Yu Tiancang couldn't help but gasp.
As a Five-Star General of the Solar Alliance, he could tell at a glance that any single item in this vault was a priceless treasure.
In fact, there were many weapons and equipment he had never even seen before.
Lu Jin, however, remained very clear-headed and wasn't immediately overwhelmed by these treasures.
He turned to Temple Priest Cong Tianxing and asked, "Then, what's the price?"
Such precious treasures, to be given away simply for activating them?
Lu Jin didn't believe that these Golden Humans, whose faith in the Sacred Emperor was almost fanatical, would do such a thing.
After all, to them, these treasures were gifts from the Sacred Emperor.
Facing Lu Jin's question, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing smiled faintly and then said, "Lord Lu Jin, there's no need to worry. The condition is very simple."
"That is, when the Holy City faces a crisis, the blessed individuals must return to the Holy City and fight for it!"
"This condition, compared to the value of these treasures, should be more than enough, right?"
In times of crisis, fight for the Holy City?
Yu Tiancang glanced at Lu Jin, as Lu Jin was their fleet's captain after all.
Whether to agree to this condition still depended on Lu Jin's choice.
After a moment of thought, Lu Jin decisively agreed.
After all, this condition also tied the Holy City and himself together.
If the Assimilation War broke out in the future, they would inevitably face it together with the Holy City, and with this condition, the Alliance would also find it much more convenient.
Seeing Lu Jin agree, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Tiancang, on the other hand, like a child, rushed straight into the vault.
"These are truly good things!"
Yu Tiancang unhesitatingly rushed to a set of armor made of an unknown metal.
He had set his eyes on this armor the moment the vault opened, even before they entered.
Unlike power armor, the armor before him shed its bulky appearance, perfectly conforming to the human body shape.
Yu Tiancang glanced at Temple Priest Cong Tianxing, who generously gestured for Yu Tiancang to try it on.
If Yu Tiancang's blessing was insufficient to activate this armor, then upon wearing it, he would find himself unable to move due to the armor's inactive state.
But the moment Yu Tiancang put on the armor, he immediately felt as if he had formed a connection with it!
The armor immediately radiated a faint glow, and the presence of this glow surprised Yin Yue and the others.
Because they were all too familiar with this aura.
It was the aura of psionic energy!
This was actually a set of psionic armor?!
After Yu Tiancang moved around, he quickly became familiar with how the armor operated!
Seeing Yu Tiancang successfully don the armor, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing became excited.
"Indeed, you, chosen by the Sacred Emperor, are fully qualified to activate this armor!"
Subsequently, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing even directly introduced the armor to Lu Jin.
The full name of this armor was the Sacred Emperor Guard-Class psionic armor!
In the past, it was psionic armor that only the Imperial Guards by the Sacred Emperor's side could wear.
This armor was not something anyone could just put on; only those recognized by the Sacred Emperor could wear it and unleash its full power!
Currently, the Holy City had collected a total of one hundred and eight sets of Sacred Emperor Guard-Class psionic armor.
However, only nine sets could be activated!
The set Yu Tiancang was wearing was precisely the tenth activated Sacred Emperor Guard-Class psionic armor.
"I feel full of power!"
Wearing the psionic armor, Yu Tiancang had never felt his physical strength to be so formidable.
Yin Yue, standing by, scanned Yu Tiancang with her psionic energy and gave a very objective assessment.
"I can feel that the First Mate's combat power can now contend with a Tier 3 Psionicist."
"However, this is just the First Mate having just acquired this psionic armor and not yet fully adapted to it."
"If the psionic armor's compatibility can be developed to one hundred percent, his combat power might even be difficult for me to contend with."
Oh?
Even Yin Yue would find it difficult to contend with?
Hearing this assessment, Lu Jin's understanding of this psionic armor was once again refreshed.
The upper limit of this psionic armor was actually so powerful?
Most importantly, there were still one hundred and eight such armors!
If all were activated, Lu Jin couldn't imagine how powerful this unit would be!
At this moment, Yu Tiancang exited the psionic armor, and the armor actually began to shrink directly, eventually folding into a medium-sized metal cube.
Looking at the metal cube before him, Yu Tiancang was absolutely enamored with this psionic armor.
When he touched the metal cube, it transformed again.
As if reading Yu Tiancang's thoughts, it directly turned into a wristband and landed in Yu Tiancang's hand.
"This is simply amazing!"
Yu Tiancang stroked the psionic armor on his wrist, his delight impossible to conceal.
At this moment, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing indicated that Yu Tiancang could continue to try activating other treasures.
Perhaps, with his blessing, he could activate even more treasures.
Hearing that he could continue to choose, Yu Tiancang became even less reserved.
He first came to a battle-axe, which was embedded in a stone slab. Yu Tiancang tried to pick up the battle-axe.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that no matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn't pick up the battle-axe.
+++
Chapter 64 The Strongest Blessing in History! Confiscation of Property!
It seems the blessing bestowed upon you by the Sacred Emperor is not enough to activate this treasure.
Seeing that Yu Tiancang couldn't lift the battle-axe, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing shook his head.
He wasn't surprised by this situation.
No matter how hard Yu Tiancang tried, the battle-axe seemed to be fused with the stone slab beneath it.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang even wondered if the stone slab was a special mechanism.
But no matter how he checked, he found no clues.
After some struggle, Yu Tiancang could only give up and try to activate other treasures.
At this moment, a silver spear once again fell into Yu Tiancang's sight.
He quickly approached the silver spear, and like the battle-axe before, it was also stuck in a stone platform.
Yu Tiancang took a deep breath, gripped the spear shaft, and pulled hard.
The next second, Yu Tiancang stumbled and easily pulled out the silver spear!
"This easy?"
Yu Tiancang didn't expect to pull out the silver spear so easily.
It was as if the silver spear was just placed there!
At this moment, the spear in his hand began to activate, and countless etchings lit up like stars in the night.
Yu Tiancang tried to swing the spear, and instantly, a gust of wind swept through the surroundings.
Terrifying psionic energy was released from within the spear; this spear was also a psionic item!
Yinyue and You Lan looked at the surrounding treasures with some surprise.
These seemingly ordinary treasures, once activated, would immediately transform into powerful psionic items!
The Golden Humans' foundation was truly terrifying!
Seeing this, Shelia also felt a little eager, and she turned to Lu Jin to ask.
"Can I try?"
Before Lu Jin could speak, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing spoke up proactively.
If Shelia could activate these treasures without receiving a blessing, it would mean that as long as one's strength was sufficient, they could forcibly activate the treasures.
If that were the case, their methods for activating treasures would become more diverse.
Shelia stepped forward, her target directly on the battle-axe that Yu Tiancang hadn't been able to pull out earlier.
She gripped the axe handle, and the next second, Shelia unleashed an astonishing psionic pressure.
Her hands even transformed into dragon claws, and the powerful racial pressure of the Star Hunting Dragon was directly released.
But the battle-axe in front of her, facing the storm-like power, remained as unmoving as a stubborn rock in the mountains.
After an unknown amount of time, Shelia released her hands and returned to her normal state.
She didn't try again and returned behind Lu Jin.
"These items all have psionic restrictions, and they are very high-level psionic restrictions."
"Even Xueliyas Father couldn't break through the psionic restrictions on them."
Even Xueliyas Father couldn't do it?
This made Lu Jin a little surprised; was the Sacred Emperor's psionic level really that high?
But soon, Lu Jin felt relieved.
After all, he was the Sacred Emperor who created the Golden Humans, and his achievements were almost comparable to Star Gods.
And this result made Temple Priest Cong Tianxing both happy and helpless.
The Sacred Emperor's power even convinced the proud Star Hunting Dragon.
This made his faith in the Sacred Emperor even more fervent.
But the helplessness was that they had so many treasures but could only use them through those who were blessed.
Currently, there were not even a hundred blessed individuals in the entire Holy City.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang had already tried everything in the entire treasury.
Unfortunately, only the psionic armor and this psionic spear could respond to his call and be activated as his equipment.
"Now it's your turn."
Yu Tiancang looked at Lu Jin; from the beginning until now, Lu Jin had not yet set foot in the treasury area.
Seeing that Yu Tiancang had finished selecting, Lu Jin also stepped into the treasury to choose treasures.
To be honest, Lu Jin wasn't very interested in the items in this treasury.
These equipment and weapons were external things to Lu Jin; from the beginning, Lu Jin had no intention of using external things to improve his strength.
His goal was a psionic seed in the Endless Star Sea that had not yet been discovered by anyone.
As long as he could get that psionic seed, Lu Jin was confident that he could reach the level of a Sixth-Level Psion before the Assimilation War broke out.
Therefore, looking at the dazzling array of treasures in the treasury, Lu Jin had no interest whatsoever.
He came to the battle-axe, preparing to try if he could pull it out.
But before Lu Jin could even touch the battle-axe, a layer of mysterious runes suddenly lit up on its surface.
The battle-axe activated?
Lu Jin stood stunned; he hadn't even touched it.
This situation made Temple Priest Cong Tianxing excited.
The treasure activated by itself before being touched, which indicated that the blessing power on Lu Jin was probably the strongest in history!
But then, something that shocked everyone happened.
Centered around Lu Jin, all the treasures in the entire treasury, at this moment, all reacted.
The originally lifeless treasury directly transformed into a magnificent armory!
All equipment and weapons were self-activated!
And Temple Priest Cong Tianxing's expression changed from surprise to dismay, because he had said before that any treasure that could be activated could be taken away.
But Lu Jin's current performance suggested he intended to take away the entire Holy City's treasury!
Cong Tianxing touched his forehead, wiping away non-existent cold sweat.
Just as he was about to use some reason to persuade Lu Jin, Lu Jin's gaze fell on a pistol.
This pistol was composed of two patterns, gold and silver.
The moment Lu Jin touched it, the pistol directly transformed into a rifle.
Seeing this, Lu Jin was a little surprised.
This pistol could actually transform?
Under Lu Jin's mental fluctuation, this firearm surprisingly transformed into a melee weapon again.
"A weapon made of memory metal?"
For the current Lu Jin, this weapon was quite good.
Thus, Lu Jin put this transforming pistol into his pocket.
As for the other secret treasures, Lu Jin decisively chose to give up.
He knew very well that all the treasures reacted to him, and if he were to take all the treasures as per the agreement.
Then, at that time, it was estimated that the Holy City would not let him off easily.
It was meant to be a courtesy, but you ended up taking all of their family's wealth; anyone would be unable to tolerate that.
"This transforming pistol is enough for me."
"I don't need the other equipment and weapons; leave them for the remaining blessed individuals."
The moment these words were spoken, the treasures in the entire treasury instantly fell silent.
And Temple Priest Cong Tianxing also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I never expected that the blessing power you, Lord Lu Jin, obtained would be so powerful!"
"This matter within the treasury is something even I have never seen."
"But please rest assured, I will report this matter to the High Priest."
"Our Holy City will definitely not let you suffer a loss."
Although Lu Jin couldn't take the entire treasury, with the blessing power he now displayed.
Without a doubt, he was the strongest blessed individual the Holy City had ever encountered!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the spokesperson chosen by the Sacred Emperor.
+++
Chapter 65 Meeting the High Priest! Preparing for the Leap!
Therefore, Temple Priest Cong Tianxing had elevated the matter of Lu Jin to the highest level.
Exiting the treasury, Cong Tianxing sincerely invited Lu Jin to stay in the Holy City for a while longer.
Lu Jin did not refuse; he also had the idea of staying in the Holy City for some time.
The Black Stone Pirates were undoubtedly searching for him everywhere, so staying on the Holy City's Moon Shadow for a period would be beneficial.
By then, even if the Black Stone Pirates possessed extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult for them to track his whereabouts.
Under Cong Tianxing's arrangements, Lu Jin and his companions were assigned to the best room in the center of the Holy City.
Lu Jin entered the room and couldn't help but sigh at its vast space.
It seemed Cong Tianxing had indeed made proper arrangements.
In a ship-city of this scale, the price of land was far more expensive than on a planetary surface.
Yet, despite this, the room Lu Jin was staying in still had a very large space.
It was fully equipped with various facilities such as an entertainment room, a lounge, and a study.
Lu Jin lay on the soft bed, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.
After all, the war in the Brilliant Galaxy had just ended, and he hadn't had a chance to rest before being pursued by the Black Stone Pirates.
However, a blessing in disguise, he had actually found the Holy City.
He had also used this opportunity to expel the Subspace Demon from Yu Tiancang, and although there were many unexpected twists, the matter was finally resolved.
Next, he only needed to rest for a while, wait for the Holy City to reach a new galaxy, and then he could pilot his ship away and continue his journey into the Endless Star Sea.
Lying on the bed, Lu Jin felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.
Closing his eyes, Lu Jin, intending to rest properly, suddenly felt a jolt beneath him.
Earthquake?
No, he was on a ship-city; how could there be an earthquake?
When Lu Jin opened his eyes, he immediately saw a message pop up on his personal terminal.
"Attention all residents, the Moon Shadow will undergo a large-scale collective warp in one Golden Hour!"
"There will be turbulence during the warp. This is normal. All residents, please take precautions!"
Warp?
This ship-city could warp?
Lu Jin instantly lost all sleepiness and walked directly out of his room.
As he exited the room and reached the vicinity of the street, he immediately heard the discussions of many residents.
"Collective warp? What's going on? We haven't performed a warp in nearly ten years, have we?"
"Who knows what's going on? To find out what happened, we can only ask the Grand Priest."
"Alright, stop chattering here. Everyone, hurry home and pack your things."
"This is a rare occurrence. This warp is not only sudden but also so rushed."
It was well known that for a city built on a ship, like the Holy City, once it began to warp, it would inevitably consume a large amount of energy and also affect the lives of the residents within the city.
Therefore, most of the time, the Holy City drifted through the star sea by its own inertia.
But now, the Holy City's sudden announcement piqued Lu Jin's interest.
For Lu Jin, the Holy City warping was naturally for the best.
After all, warping covered a much greater distance than drifting by free inertia.
Just then, a Holy City Guard approached Lu Jin and his companions.
This Holy City Guard was the same one who had previously befriended Lu Jin, making the meeting between acquaintances much more relaxed.
"Brother Lu Jin, I told you, you look like a loyal follower of the Sacred Emperor!"
"The Grand Priest has learned of your deeds and is very pleased with you. He specifically invited me to take you to the bridge."
Go to the bridge?
Lu Jin hadn't expected the meeting place to be so special.
The bridge of a ship was its core.
The Grand Priest inviting Lu Jin to the bridge for a detailed discussion indicated that he truly considered Lu Jin one of his own.
Thus, Lu Jin and his companions headed to the Holy City's bridge.
On the bridge, Cong Tianxing was already standing beside the Grand Priest.
Upon seeing the Grand Priest, Lu Jin was slightly surprised.
Because the supreme leader of this ship, the Grand Priest, was actually a stunning beauty with a fiery figure and a head of beautiful black hair.
And unlike Cong Tianxing, she wore a nano-level protective suit, which further accentuated her impressive figure.
Now, as she saw Lu Jin, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"You must be the blessed one Cong Tianxing spoke of!"
"Captain of the Moon Shadow, Grand Priest of the Holy City, Yu Xin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Lu Jin also politely replied.
Following that, Holy City Grand Priest Yu Xin did not waste any more words.
"I'm sure you just received the Holy City's notification that we are about to warp."
"This warp is because we are about to travel to an unknown galaxy."
"In that unknown galaxy, we have discovered traces of the Sacred Emperor!"
"This will be a grand operation for us Golden Humans. We will follow in the footsteps of the Sacred Emperor."
"And you, possessing powerful blessing power, I hope you can join us in this operation."
Participate in the operation?
Follow in the footsteps of the Sacred Emperor?
At this, Lu Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.
This matter was completely outside his plans, and an activity related to the Sacred Emperor would undoubtedly carry considerable risks.
Seeing Lu Jin's hesitation, Holy City Grand Priest Yu Xin spoke directly.
"If you perform exceptionally well in this operation, I can represent the Moon Shadow Holy City and do one thing for you!"
"Aren't you currently being hunted by the Black Stone Pirates?"
"If you can help us, I can help you completely eradicate the Black Stone Pirates from this star sea!"
Have the Moon Shadow Holy City do one thing for him?
The weight of these words was not light!
After all, no one understood the potential of the Golden Humans better than Lu Jin.
And if something happened to the Holy City, there was even a chance it could attract the ultimate big shot, the Sacred Emperor!
This deal was incredibly worthwhile!
"Alright, I agree!"
At this point, if Lu Jin were to refuse again, it would be a bit ungracious.
The promise of a Holy City was priceless.
Seeing Lu Jin agree, Holy City Grand Priest Yu Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.
She approached Lu Jin, firstly because she valued his powerful blessing power.
Secondly, the number of blessed individuals on the Moon Shadow Holy City was extremely scarce at the moment.
This operation had almost alarmed all the Holy Cities, and it was bound to be a grand chase.
As the captain of the Moon Shadow and the Grand Priest of the Moon Shadow Holy City, she did not want to be outshone by the leaders of other Holy Cities in this operation.
Just then, the ship began to shake.
Driven by its massive engines, the ship's speed reached warp velocity after an hour.
"Prepare for warp!"
