Enter at the beginning to reach the semi-holy level and summon two great gods and demons

Just as the Red Sand Cult Leader was about to enter the Land God Temple, an uncontrollable thought suddenly arose in his heart.

It took deep root in his heart and rapidly grew and sprouted.

Having lived for four hundred years, his former friends and lovers had mostly passed away.

For him, breaking through to the Divine-Demonic realm was almost his only pursuit and hope.

Moreover, the lifespan of a Saint Realm Perfected cultivator was within five hundred years.

That is to say, after this seclusion, he could only live for a hundred years at most.

After a hundred years, his titles such as Saint Realm Perfected, Red Sand Holy Cult Leader, or one of the Seven Saints of the World would all turn to dust. Although a hundred years was long enough for an ordinary person, the Red Sand Cult Leader was extremely unwilling to die just like that.

Especially when he suspected that his old rivals and his rising stars might have already embarked on the path to the Divine-Demonic realm, the Red Sand Cult Leader felt even more unbearable.

He also wanted to break through to the Divine-Demonic realm!

Right now, there was a god truly existing within the Divine-Demonic realm before him.

If he could be fortunate enough to follow under his command.

Perhaps, he might also have the hope of breaking through to the Divine-Demonic realm.

The interior of the Land God Temple was pitch black.

From the outside, it looked like a black hole.

Any light that approached would be swallowed by it.

The Red Sand Cult Leader mustered his courage and cautiously stepped into it.

Bang!

The Red Sand Cult Leader staggered, almost falling.

He looked at the brightly lit temple, filled with bronze creations, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that the interior of the Land God Temple would be a dark, enclosed space where one couldn't see one's fingers, but upon entering, he discovered that it was not only bright but also boundless.

The bronze palace, like that of an ancient god, emanated a soft light, causing the Red Sand Cult Leader's constantly fearful heart to become exceptionally peaceful at this moment.

"Mortal Zhang Hongsha pays respects to Your Divine Majesty!"

The Red Sand Cult Leader raised his head to gaze directly above and then knelt down on the moss-covered stone bridge.

The Land God's tall divine body shone brightly under the illumination of countless incense offerings, making him incomparably sacred.

The Land God slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing within them.

In his divine eyes, the Red Sand Cult Leader was surrounded by a faint red glow, and at this moment, he had actually become one of his believers.

A wisp of rich red faith power fell upon the Land God's body.

The Land God's overall aura slightly increased at this moment.

This surprised the Land God greatly.

One should know that the faith power of mortals was limited.

They purely relied on numbers to increase their divine power.

But now, the faith power of the Red Sand Cult Leader alone could drive the growth of his overall divine power, although only a trace, but this was also a feeling that the Land God had never experienced in his previous life.

In his previous life, in the mythological Heavenly Court's God Investiture system.

The incense luck he received was subject to many restrictions.

For a low-level deity like him in the Heavenly Court, it was impossible to improve his divine position.

But now, he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Rise!" The Land God nodded and casually raised his hand slightly.

The Red Sand Cult Leader, who was kneeling below, felt as if he were being lifted up by something and stood up.

"You wish to join this god's command?"

The Land God leaned slightly on his divine throne, his gaze falling upon the Red Sand Cult Leader.

"Indeed, I beseech Your Divine Majesty to have mercy on a mortal."

The Red Sand Cult Leader only felt that the Land God's gaze was like a mountain, heavy and immense, and could not help but want to kneel again.

"This god is under the Emperor's command to guard the Imperial Capital City. Currently, I happen to lack a temple keeper. In this god's view, you are just right for the role." The Land God waved his hand, removing the force from the Red Sand Cult Leader's body.

The Red Sand Cult Leader was a Saint Realm Perfected cultivator, and a single instance of faith could drive the growth of his divine power. If such a believer was brought under his command, there would be many benefits.

His position was special, unlike mountain gods or river gods.

Being far from the Son of Heaven's feet, he could reduce many concerns when gathering believers.

"From now on, this god can pay more attention to those mortals who want to do evil, enlighten them in advance, and prevent them from doing evil. This is a method of gathering believers." The Land God seemed to have thought of a way to find believers in the future, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

Although His Majesty had told them earlier that they could recruit believers.

But the premise was that these believers must take His Majesty as their master.

The Land God could naturally do this.

But did he dare to do it?

He didn't dare!

This was under the Son of Heaven's feet, the place where the Emperor resided.

The people walking around were all the Emperor's subjects.

To have him recruit the Emperor's subjects as believers under his very nose.

Although he was a Divine-Demonic being, he didn't have the guts to do so.

But now, the appearance of the Red Sand Cult Leader had given him a good idea.

His gaze fell on the Red Sand Cult Leader again.

Before he could feel surprised.

He casually injected a divine light into the Red Sand Cult Leader's body.

"This is the Emperor who commands this god. From now on, you must serve him as your master. In this way, on the road to rebirth, he can protect your true spirit from being extinguished and return you to the human world."

Chapter 51: Gaining Another Century of Cultivation

............

Within the divine light, there was the form of the Xuánmíng Dharma Image, but unlike reality, the Dharma Image form was more majestic after being transformed by divine power. His appearance was handsome, he wore a five-clawed golden dragon robe, and a purple-gold glazed crown on his head. Below him was a divine throne coiled by golden dragons. Divine light radiated, surrounded by three thousand divine kingdoms, like the Emperor of the supreme realm of the divine path.

Although the Red Sand Cult Leader was a Saint Realm Perfected expert, he was essentially still in the mortal realm. Where had he ever seen such a divine image? He only glanced at it, and it was directly imprinted in his heart, feeling that he could never forget it in this lifetime.

And because the Xuánmíng Dharma Image had been deified by divine power, it did not allow the Red Sand Cult Leader to see the clothing comparable to the Emperor of the Divine Profound Imperial Dynasty, but he remembered the appearance clearly and planned to prostrate himself greatly if he saw it in the future.

"Mortal Zhang Hongsha has remembered the Emperor's appearance and will serve him as his master for all eternity. At the same time, I will respectfully obey the orders of the Divine Lord and do my part as a temple keeper, promoting the Divine Lord's Dao."

Within the divine light, there was not only the deified Dharma Image of Xuánmíng but also information about the Land God Temple Keeper. After learning about it, the Red Sand Cult Leader knelt down again.

"How many people are there in your Red Sand Holy Cult? This god hopes that you can persuade them to all believe in this god and respect the Emperor as their master. Also, those evildoers in the Red Sand Marsh can all be captured." The Land God of the Imperial Capital asked.

Just when the divine light merged into the Red Sand Cult Leader's mind.

He vaguely saw the Red Sand Marsh, which was tens of thousands of miles away, and its background through the Red Sand Cult Leader's memory.

If these people were brought under his command......

"Reporting to the Divine Lord, this subordinate has been in seclusion for a hundred years. As soon as I came out of seclusion, I was eager to enter the Imperial Dynasty's territory to find the whereabouts of the late Emperor, so I didn't have time to understand the situation of the Holy Cult."

"Can the Divine Lord allow this subordinate to return to the Red Sand Marsh and produce detailed data, and also order the entire sect to uniformly believe in Your Divine Lord and respect the Emperor as their master, while also collecting all kinds of evildoers in the Red Sand Marsh?"

The Red Sand Cult Leader pondered slightly and bowed his head.

"Possible." The Land God nodded.

Then he waved his hand.

The next moment, the Red Sand Cult Leader only felt the scene change, and the surrounding scenery rapidly receded.

His head spun, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself on Chang'an Street.

Looking back, his position was just when he had stepped into the city gate. He didn't know how long he had been standing here.

Some crowds had already gathered around him, discussing him.

"The Divine Lord's methods are indeed unfathomable!"

The Red Sand Cult Leader ignored the passing crowd and turned to leave the city.

The methods of Divine-Demonic beings are indeed terrifying.

Perhaps, as soon as he entered the city, he had unknowingly fallen into the Divine Lord's domain. All the previous miracles were experienced by his divine soul, while his physical body had never moved half a step from beginning to end.

This made him break out in a cold sweat.

Just now, if the Divine Lord had any murderous intent, his divine soul would have been permanently separated from his physical body in an instant, and his four hundred years of hard work would have been in vain.

"And that Emperor, the Divine Lord is so powerful, yet he is controlled by him and ordered to do his bidding. He is probably an even stronger existence in the Divine-Demonic realm." The Red Sand Cult Leader's heart was pounding, but a trace of joy arose in his heart.

He vaguely realized that he had latched onto a great opportunity.

As for doubting the Land God's origins, although his appearance in the Imperial Capital City was very strange, his Divine-Demonic realm was real. No matter how suspicious the Red Sand Cult Leader was, he could not avoid this point. Moreover, he inexplicably believed in his heart that the Land God was definitely not related to the late Emperor Xuan Ce.

On the other side.

As soon as the Red Sand Cult Leader left, the Land God left his own divine domain and entered the Xuan Imperial Hall after obtaining permission.

"Oh? Investigating the late Emperor's feigned death and breaking through to the Divine-Demonic realm!"

The Land God reported everything he had interrogated from the Red Sand Cult Leader in the divine domain, and Xuan Ming frowned slightly.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple!"

Xuan Ming couldn't help but rub his brow.
