Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 65 Temple
Among them, Yi Mengying and Yu Jiahui were the most persevering. Even with such difficulties, they did not give up and kept climbing. They had a belief in their hearts that they must go to worship today and would never give up.

Lan Tian believed that good deeds would be rewarded, and that they would surely climb the steps and fulfill their wish to worship at the temple in their hearts. He also encouraged the Yu brothers to persevere for their sister's sake and help her succeed. The five of them persevered and continued to climb.

"Keep going!! We're almost there."

People around encouraged and comforted each other, and gradually they climbed up to the main hall and arrived at the square in front of the hall. Strangely enough, as soon as they arrived at the square, they felt refreshed. All the pressure in their bodies disappeared, replaced by comfort, ease, and relaxation. The fatigue and hardship in their bodies vanished, and all the drowsiness and drool in their bodies were removed. They could immediately feel their bodies being cleansed and their souls being elevated.

Ignoring the changes in their bodies, Yi Mengying and Yu Jiahui excitedly rushed to the temple to worship. The temple, built against the mountain, was magnificent and spectacular. As an ancient building, it must have its value and mystery to have existed to this day.

Lan Tian followed them into the main hall. In an instant, a mysterious power scanned him from head to toe. It was a divine power he had never felt before, which made him shudder and be stunned for a second! Could this be the mystery of this temple?

Inside the temple, in the first hall, stood more than a dozen lifelike statues of deities on either side. People paid their respects to them, burning incense and praying, hoping to receive blessings and have their wishes fulfilled.

The second hall features various mythical beasts, with each tribe's mythical beast standing on either side for people to worship.

In the center of the third to seventh halls stand ancient war gods of various races. These war gods differ from the war god statues in the underwater city, but they also share some similarities. The similarity is that they are all ancient war gods, but the difference is that these are war gods of various races, representing the highest beliefs of their respective races.

The eighth hall was filled with ancient artifacts, statues, weapons, and equipment of all kinds, all displayed around the hall, dazzling and glittering, as if each artifact possessed infinite power.

The ninth hall, the last grand hall, is also the largest and most magnificent palace here. People come and go in an endless stream, and the place is bustling with people burning incense and worshipping.

Inside, nine enormous, gleaming golden statues are neatly arranged, their colors vibrant and lifelike. Each one is extremely serious, without a trace of a smile, stern and solemn, looking down upon all others vying for supremacy.

Praying here is said to grant wishes, but whether it works or not, Lantian doesn't know; it's up to your own experience! Everyone sincerely opened their hearts to the nine deities, praying that they could fulfill their wishes.

Seeing Yi Mengying and the others so sincerely using Mobike reminded Lan Tian of his own parents and siblings. He also prayed for his parents and siblings to live a peaceful and happy life.

The hardships along the way were well worth it. Everyone's face was filled with happiness. People showed their satisfaction and contentment. This is what ordinary people expect in life: a happy and fulfilling life.

……

Finally, Lan Tian and his companions returned to the first hall. At that moment, a venerable guardian of the hall came before Lan Tian and bowed deeply to him.

"Distinguished guests, our host invites you! Please follow me." "Ah! Us?" Lan Tian was very surprised. Why would the host here want to see us? Have we broken the rules here?
"Honored guests, please don't worry. Our abbot just wants to see you all; he has no other intentions." This venerable one was very kind and friendly, without a trace of malice.

“Alright, everyone go and meet the abbot.” Lan Tian said to everyone. None of the five objected, and they followed the Venerable One to the back courtyard.

In the back courtyard, an elderly man with white hair was waiting for their arrival in a reception room. As soon as Lan Tian and his companions arrived, he paid special attention to Lan Tian, ​​scrutinizing him carefully.

"Hahaha, good, good, good." The old man was extremely excited, laughing incessantly, leaving Lan Tian and the others completely bewildered. What was wrong with this host?
"Come, everyone, please sit down. I'm sorry to have startled you all!" The old abbot said to everyone in a very kind manner. It was clear that he was a kind old man and a highly skilled master.

As soon as Lan Tian entered, he sensed that the old man was extraordinary. The abbot's cultivation was unfathomable and beyond his ability to detect.

It turned out that as soon as Lan Tian entered the main hall, his energy fluctuations alerted the abbot. The appearance of the scanning light startled the abbot from his cultivation; it was a high-level tracking device set up by the elders here. Anyone who activated this scanner was someone from the Upper Realm, connected to the Upper Realm, representing an opportunity for Sky City, and having a destiny with this secret realm. Finally, someone capable of activating the secret realm had arrived!

The host warmly welcomed everyone, inquiring about their identities. Upon learning they were young masters and ladies from the Yu and Lan families, he concealed his excitement, not letting Lan Tian and the others notice. Today was the greatest comfort of his visit, the culmination of his lifelong hopes. Now, things were finally looking up; this young master Lan was the destined one here.

The host specially presented Lan Tian with a badge from here.

"Young Master Lan, it's fate that we met today. Please accept this badge." The abbot handed a glittering gold badge to Lan Tian. This was the most precious gift in Sky City, granting access to Sky City and its temples. Its other uses were currently unknown.

"Master, I dare not accept this. I cannot accept a gift without having done something right." Lan Tian repeatedly declined. He knew that he had only just met the master, and for him to give him such a valuable gift, there must be something fishy about it, something he wanted from him. This was not something he could figure out, so he decided to postpone it for now.

"Alright, we are indeed destined to meet. Let's talk about it next time!" The host didn't force Lan Tian to accept it, but kept it for the time being and would give it to Lan Tian next time.

Everyone chatted idly for a long time, listening to the host's profound discourse and learning about the origins of this temple. The long and complex history of Sky City made everyone understand and respect their predecessors. Ancient times were truly an era of heroes, an era for everyone to admire.

The abbot also treated everyone to a meal there, where they dined with the venerable ones and visited the palace behind the temple, which was not open to the public. Lan Tian and his companions gained a great deal, making the trip worthwhile. Finally, they reluctantly bid farewell to the abbot and descended the mountain.

The host stood on the mountain, watching the departing blue sky, lost in thought.
"It seems I need to go down the mountain."
