Chapter 368 Hope (Two Chapters Combined)

The Sun God Cult is now facing increasing pressure from various forces, and the Sun Holy Lord is finding it difficult to hold on.

The Sun Saint Lord, who had long been at the peak of the second level of immortal power, had been unable to break through his current realm due to the loss of his inherited immortal scriptures.

The Purple Star Emperor is not the Big Dipper Burial Star Emperor after all, and does not have such a powerful suppression of the Azure Emperor's Dao.

Therefore, on the Purple Star Emperor, the Dao-Slaying King is the strongest in the open for every faction.

Of course, every power that has existed for a long time naturally has a stronger foundation.

However, the Sun God Cult has been constantly fighting against external enemies, which has led to the loss of its foundation and the transmission of its immortal scriptures.

This resulted in the younger generation lacking complete cultivation techniques, and being stuck at the level of a second-tier immortal being, unable to break through.

The forces on the Purple Star Emperor have long forgotten the unparalleled achievements of the Sun Emperor and his descendants in protecting humanity.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!

This refers to the Sun God Cult. Desire is human nature, whether one is an ordinary person or a monk.

The Sun God Cult has existed for a long time, and the Sun God City occupies the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the Purple Star Emperor, which naturally arouses the envy of many forces.

As a result, all the major powers tacitly joined forces to suppress the Sun God Cult. The Sun God Cult's sphere of influence has now been greatly reduced, and it can barely maintain the Sun God City and the surrounding cities.

As for the other spheres of influence, they have already been divided up. This is because there is no king, which allows any force to bully the Sun God Cult.

The Sun Saint Lord, however, was powerless to act. After all, his strength was inferior to others, and he could only endure it, watching helplessly as his territory was seized by other forces.

The Sun Lord stood before the statue of the Sun Emperor, his face filled with immense sorrow and pain, not only because his territory had been taken away.

Another issue is the crisis facing the Sun God Cult. If things continue like this, the cult may eventually be destroyed and its people perish.

Just like the Taiyin Divine Sect on the Ziwei Emperor Star today, it has long existed in name only.

Although the Taiyin Divine Sect still stands in Ziwei and is more prosperous than the Taiyang Divine Sect, the descendants of the Taiyin Holy Emperor no longer exist on the Ziwei Imperial Star.

Those who stole the Taiyin Divine Sect have wiped out all those with the bloodline of the Taiyin Holy Empress in order to prevent the restoration of the Taiyin Holy Empress's descendants.

The Taiyin Saint Emperor, like the Taiyang Saint Emperor, made unparalleled contributions to the human race. However, his descendants suffered even more tragic fates than the Taiyang Saint Emperor.

However, the fate of humanity ultimately favors those who have made great contributions to the human race, just as it has favored the Ancient Sacred Body in this lifetime.

The descendant of the Taiyin Holy Emperor is now in the ancient Jiang family on the Beidou Burial Emperor Star, namely Jiang Tingting, who possesses the Taiyin Divine Body.

The Sun God Cult is currently facing a major crisis, which is why the Sun Lord is talking to himself in front of the Holy Emperor statue, hoping to receive guidance.

"Holy Emperor, Ancestor, I am not reconciled! More than two thousand years have passed, yet my cultivation has not progressed an inch."

"I am even more unwilling to see the cult decline like this, or even perish in my hands!"

The Holy Leader of the Sun God Cult was filled with resentment, helplessness, and despair, and he shouted in a low voice.

More than two thousand years have passed, a full two thousand years. Two thousand years ago, he was already at the peak of the second level of immortals, and his cultivation could not advance any further. Such an experience is nothing.

However, facing numerous covetous forces, even the most composed person would likely have collapsed long ago if it were an ordinary person.

It is truly remarkable that the Sun Saint Lord has been able to persevere until now.

Without a complete immortal scripture, one cannot sever the Dao and become a king. With such cultivation, one naturally cannot protect the vast Sun God Sect.

And those covetous forces, which one of them doesn't have a king-level expert in charge, and their foundation even includes saint-level experts.

The reason why the Sun God Cult has survived to this day is simply because it does not want to bear the infamy of killing the descendants of the Holy Queen.

Although those forces are oppressing the descendants of the Holy Emperor, the legend of the Holy Emperor will live on forever among the human race, and cannot be destroyed at will.

After all, the Sun Emperor's contributions to the human race were immense. Perhaps one day, a peerless powerhouse would learn of the plight of the Sun Emperor's descendants and take direct action to eliminate and destroy the forces that had brought them to justice.

"Holy Lord!"

An elder of the Sun God Cult entered the Sun God Temple and looked at the Sun Lord standing silently beneath the statue of the Sun Emperor.

"What is it?" The Sun Lord asked without turning around, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Alas, another city of the Divine Cult has been captured, and many more of our people have died in battle," the elder lamented.

The Sun Lord's face twitched slightly. Sure enough, it wasn't good news again, but the Sun Lord was already used to this kind of thing.

After all, every now and then, cities would be seized by other forces, and the Sun Saint Lord had no way to reverse the situation.

Faced with these worst-case scenarios, the Sun Lord was utterly exhausted, and even his anger had vanished.

As their sphere of influence continues to shrink, their anger has become numb.

Over the years, the territory of the Sun God Cult has been continuously annexed by other forces, but the Sun God Cult has been helpless and can only watch as its territory is divided and devoured by other forces.

All this immense pressure weighed on the Sun Saint Lord. He wanted to fight those forces to the death, so that even if he died, he wouldn't have to bear such immense pressure.

Unfortunately, the current strength of the Sun God Cult no longer allows him to do so, if he were to truly fight to the death with the enemy.

Therefore, the Sun God Cult would face the death of many of its members in battle and the destruction of the cult.

Over the years, the high-end combat power of the Divine Cult has been almost completely lost, and now it can only be seen that the Sun Holy Lord is struggling to hold on alone.

Meanwhile, those forces in the shadows were waiting for him to fall, so that they could completely divide up the Sun God Cult.

"Understood. Tell the people in the remaining two cities to be on high alert!" the Sun Lord said weakly.

"Holy Lord, are we just going to keep backing down and let those forces devour our religion? Why don't we fight them?" the elder said, somewhat unwillingly.

The Sun Saint Lord said expressionlessly, "Fight? What can we fight with? We've already lost even the sacred artifacts that are the inheritance of our Divine Cult, and our foundation has been completely destroyed. If we really fight, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Do you really think I want to cower like this? I want to fight too, but if we all die, it doesn't matter. It's just death."

"But what will happen to the elderly, women, and children after we die? How will they live on? How will the bloodline of the Holy Emperor continue?"

As he spoke, the Sun Saint Lord was already in tears. The pressure he had been under for so long had caused even a powerful cultivator at the peak of the second level of immortality to shed tears.

Exhausted in body and mind, the Sun Saint Lord also wanted to fight those forces to the death, but if he did, the bloodline of the Holy Emperor might be cut off in his hands.

"Damn the Taiyin Divine Sect, and that damned Golden Crow Clan! I never thought my Sun God Church would come to this. In the past, how glorious my sect was! Now it has fallen to such a state!" the elder roared angrily.

Just as the Sun Saint Lord and the elder were feeling grief and anger, a figure appeared next to the statue of the Sun Saint Emperor.

"Who are you, daring to trespass into my Sun God Cult's temple!"

At this moment, the Sun Saint Lord and the elder were startled. They never expected that someone could enter the Sun Temple so silently. Who was this person?

At the same time, the Sun Saint Lord and the elder also felt sorrow, realizing that the Sun God Cult's defenses were now so ineffective against powerful individuals.

"The Great Emperor's array patterns have all been erased, and even the divine essence of the Emperor's Way is gone. No wonder the Church of the Sun God has fallen to such a state," Yuan Changqing sighed.

Throughout the entire Sun God City, the Great Emperor's array patterns had long been obliterated, and even the imperial divine aura and array patterns of the Sun Saint Emperor in the temple were gone.

How many great battles has the Sun God Cult experienced since the Primordial Era for the Imperial Dao Array Patterns to disappear and be obliterated?

"Who exactly are you, and why have you trespassed into my Sun God Cult?" the Sun Saint Lord asked solemnly.

He still didn't know whether Yuan Changqing was friend or foe, so he asked while remaining on guard.

Yuan Changqing said softly, "Sun Saint Lord, there's no need to be nervous. I won't do anything to you."

"Moreover, the reason I came to this Temple of the Sun is to find you."

The Sun Saint Lord asked in confusion, "Your Excellency, I don't recall us knowing each other. May I ask what brings you here to see me?"

"A good thing, a great thing indeed, it can also be considered a way to help the descendants of the Holy Empress!" Yuan Changqing said calmly.

Although Yuan Changqing said this, it did not make the Sun Saint Lord lower his guard.

After all, if a stranger offers to help you for no reason, they must have something in mind.

However, the Sun God Cult has declined to such a state that there is nothing left for them to gain.

If we really have to say there is anything, it's the remaining sphere of influence of the Sun God Cult.

"What is your purpose in coming to my Sun God Cult?" the Sun Lord asked again.

The Sun God Cult is now extremely wary of the relentless pressure from other forces, and they have no choice but to be extra cautious.

"Hahaha, I told you, you don't need to worry so much. There's nothing in the Sun God Cult that has caught my eye yet," Yuan Changqing laughed loudly.

He added, "Besides, if I really wanted to attack you, I wouldn't have shown myself so easily; you would all be dead on the spot by now."

"I'll say it again, I'm here to help you out, how can you not trust me at all!"

"Fellow Daoist, are you telling the truth? I wonder how you plan to help our Sun God Cult?" The Sun Saint Lord suddenly had another thought in his mind and asked.

Just as Yuan Changqing said, if he really wanted to kill them, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to them.

Moreover, Yuan Changqing said he came to help them. Whether it was true or not, at least it seemed like he was showing goodwill. The Sun Emperor seemed to have grasped at a straw.

"I implore you, fellow Daoist, to lend my Sun God Sect a hand." After saying this, the Sun Saint Lord attempted to kneel down.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't kneel down. At this moment, the Sun Saint Lord realized that Yuan Changqing's strength was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, judging from his aura, the Sun Saint Emperor also determined that Yuan Changqing's strength was at the King level.

After all, the Sun God Cult has experienced countless battles and witnessed the power of the true king.

Yuan Changqing did not want to accept the kneeling of the Holy Empress's descendants, neither as a sign of respect for the Holy Emperor nor as a sign of respect for the Holy Empress's descendants.

The descendants of the Holy Emperor also deserve Yuan Changqing's respect. Adhering to the Holy Emperor's ideals, although the Holy Emperor's descendants have declined, they have not done anything to smear the Holy Emperor.

"Throughout a cultivator's life, one should not kneel casually to anyone other than one's parents and ancestors," Yuan Changqing said to the Sun Saint Lord.

The Sun Saint Lord was filled with shame. He had been driven to the brink of despair, but now that there was a glimmer of hope, he had no choice but to do this in order to protect the Holy Church and the descendants of the Holy Queen.

Now, the vast territory of the Sun God Cult has been reduced to only three cities, and just recently, one of those cities was seized.

However, those in the shadows will not give the Sun God Cult any respite, and will further pressure them.

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing felt sorry for them. As descendants of the Holy Empress, they had fallen to such a miserable state.

Yuan Changqing added, "I also heard your conversation earlier, and I know a little about the fate of the Sun God Cult."

"Also, I see that you are now at the peak of the second level of immortal power. I'm afraid you are not strong enough to fight against other forces. I will teach you a technique now. You should improve your cultivation first before we talk."

As soon as Yuan Changqing said he wanted it, he pointed a finger and shot it into the Sun Saint Lord's brow. This was the Sun Immortal Scripture that the Sun Saint Emperor had imparted to Yuan Changqing.

Now that it has been passed on to the Sun Saint Lord, it can be considered a return to the rightful owner, repaying the Sun Saint Emperor's kindness in passing on the Dharma.

Countless scriptures appeared in the mind of the Sun Saint Lord, and they were exactly the same as the scriptures he cultivated, only more complete.

At this moment, the Sun Saint Lord finally understood what scripture Yuan Changqing had imparted to him. Wasn't this the Sun Immortal Scripture that the Sun God Cult had been searching for all along?

Now that we have this identical immortal scripture, the Sun Saint Lord can quickly ascend to the King level of cultivation. In this way, when facing other forces, he will not have to be so hesitant to act rashly.

With this complete Sun Immortal Scripture, those experts within the Sun God Sect who have been stuck at the level of Immortal Two Great Power can also break through.

In this way, the Sun God Cult can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Inheriting the immortal scriptures and returning to the Sun God Cult once again made the Sun Saint Lord tremble with excitement. He never expected that happiness would come so suddenly.

This is the most dangerous moment for the Sun God Cult, but Yuan Changqing has brought hope. How could the Sun God Lord not be excited?

"Holy Lord, what's wrong with you?" The elder beside him couldn't help but ask, looking at the trembling Holy Lord of the Sun.

"My Sun God Cult is saved! My Sun God Cult is saved!" the Sun Lord exclaimed excitedly.

"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, what's wrong with you? Explain yourself!" The elder hurriedly grabbed the Sun Holy Lord.

The Sun Saint Lord also snapped out of his excitement and grabbed the elder, saying, "Our Sun God Cult is saved! The inherited immortal scriptures have returned! Do you know that our clan's inherited immortal scriptures have returned?"

When the elder heard the Sun Saint Lord say this, he was stunned for a moment before becoming excited.

"Holy Lord, what did you just say? You said our clan's inherited immortal scriptures have returned? You're telling the truth, you're not lying to me!"

The Sun Saint Lord nodded hurriedly and said with certainty, "It's true, it's true, the Immortal Scripture has returned, and my Sun God Sect is saved."

Upon receiving a definite answer, the elder trembled with excitement, exclaiming, "Good, good, good, it's good that you're back, sob sob sob..."

Tears streaming down their faces – this is probably the best way to describe this scene. These people of the Sun God Cult have been trying to find the Sun Immortal Scripture for countless years.

The Sun God Cult began to decline due to the loss of the Sun Immortal Scripture, which led to its current predicament.

At this moment, the elder suddenly knelt down in front of Yuan Changqing and said, "I would gladly go through fire and water for your great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please just ask."

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing quickly stepped aside and said, "There's no need for that. Every cause has its effect. The return of the Sun Immortal Scripture to the Sun God Sect is inevitable. Even if it weren't for me, there might have been someone else."

While Yuan Changqing's words were partly meant to comfort him, they weren't entirely untrue. By the time Ye Fan arrived at Ziwei Emperor Star, the Sun God Cult had already perished.

However, Ye Fan did find the last bloodline descendant of the Sun Saint Emperor and took him as his disciple.

However, at that time, the Sun God Cult, which had been glorious for countless years, was reduced to just one person. How tragic that was!

Yuan Changqing then said, "What you need to do now is to work hard to improve your cultivation, otherwise, you will be defeated by other forces sooner or later."

"Moreover, since the Sun God Cult doesn't have much territory left, it's better to shrink its power, abandon other territories, and focus all its efforts on defending the Sun God City."

"In this way, we won't waste our strength and be defeated one by one. The Sun God Cult can't afford any more losses now."

"You must understand that if you save the land, you lose the people; if you save the people, you lose the land. You cannot continue to waste the remaining manpower like this."

The Sun Saint Lord then said, "Fellow Daoist is right. Since my Sun God Sect has already lost so much territory, losing two more cities will not make a big difference."

"Now, I will make arrangements to withdraw the troops from the other two cities and defend Sun God City with all our might."

At this moment, the elder said, "Holy Lord, let me handle this. You should focus on breaking through your cultivation level to prepare for the challenges ahead."

After the elders left, the Sun Saint Lord finally realized that he didn't know who Yuan Changqing was. He had been so happy that he forgot himself.

The Sun Saint Lord asked, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, I do not yet know your esteemed name."

"Yuan Changqing".

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for returning the immortal scriptures passed down in my clan. I will never forget your great kindness." Afterwards, the Sun Saint Lord bowed deeply to Yuan Changqing.

"There's no need for the Sun Saint Lord to do this. This Sun Immortal Scripture was originally your inherited immortal scripture; you were just having it sent back through me," Yuan Changqing said, waving his hand.

The Sun Saint Lord added, "No matter what, it was you who brought it back, fellow Daoist. You are a great benefactor of my clan."

Yuan Changqing didn't say anything more, saying, "Holy Lord, you should improve your cultivation first. I will stay here for a while. If the Sun God Sect encounters any trouble, I will lend you a hand again."

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist. Please follow me," the Sun Saint Lord said gratefully.

After that, Yuan Changqing settled down in the Sun God Cult.
