Infinite Professions

Chapter 442: Chapter 226: Conclusion_3

Donglian Temple, an Exoteric Sect of the Buddhist Sect, is the leading temple among the many temples of Jinyang. The previous Red Lotus Temple and the later Qingye Temple were branches of it.

Shen He looked coldly and saw a brilliant mountain, filled with the smoke of incense and Divine Dao Golden Light. Inside, there were extraordinary scenes with the Three Treasures manifesting an array, standing independently.

Now, Shen He, relying on the foundation of faith and Professional Power, has gained ninety percent of the authority of Golden Sun Heaven and Earth.

The remaining ten percent lies here, within this deities’ Dao Field.

The Divine Dao inheritance, with the Three Religions and Hundred Schools as the sect, is no exception in Jinyang Prefecture. The Daoist Sect is led by Qingping Temple, the Buddhist Sect by Donglian Temple, and the Confucian Sect by the former Jinyang Prefect Zhou Qian. Although there are some independent deities of the fifth and sixth grade, their rank is too low to be presentable.

The ones able to take charge are still Zhou Qian, Qingping, and Huide, the three fourth-rank True Gods, holding the main authority and faith of Jinyang Prefecture.

Now, Zhou Qian has gone for reincarnation, Qingping and Huide are dead, leaving only Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple as the two Dao Fields.

The deities’ Dao Fields, akin to the Taiyuan Immortal Dao’s sect Spirit Land, lack Spiritual Qi but are entirely filled with divine power, connecting to the world and possessing authority. Thus, the two Dao Fields hold ten percent of Jinyang Prefecture’s power.

Though only ten percent in power, its nature is extraordinary. Even with Shen He’s Ziwei Emperor’s Cult and Earth Golden Body blessings, he cannot forcibly take this ten percent authority from these two Dao Fields.

This is the foundation of Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple, an absolutely fundamental base. The Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice and Earth Golden Body can diminish the powers held by Qingping and Huide, but cannot forcibly occupy these two fourth-grade Dao Fields.

If the previous battlefield was not at Anping City God Temple but in these two places, Shen He might have had to expend considerable effort to take down Qingping and Huide.

After all, in deities’ battles, territorial advantage is heavily emphasized. These Dao Fields are one of the main grounds, refined by the incense fire divine power of millennia, possessing various divine and extraordinary powers, akin to the Taiyuan Immortal Dao’s sect Spirit Land and Mountain Protection Array, capable of creating territorial advantages and resisting strong enemies.

This is why Zhou Qian previously told Shen He that as long as he held onto Jinyang, he could establish a foothold, rendering even the Third-Rank Great Gods like the Jinling Prefect helpless.

The power of territorial advantage!

A fourth-rank True God can indeed become a sleeping tiger on his own ground, with his many years’ managed Dao Field Magic Realm, subordinate troops, and the paramount territorial authority. Even if a Third-Rank Great God like a dragon crossing a river comes, they must pay a hefty price to possibly capture it.

This is an unwise action, as deities live long and rarely cause such a massive commotion. Even in the pursuit of dragon authority, which entails wounding deities, the focus is on Dragon Qi, supplementing with divine power.

It seems this time, knowing Shen He has such battle power, Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple would never stick out, fighting him in a Divine Dao war, but rather assist the Hidden Dragon, allowing its momentum to crush him.

Thus, the importance of territorial advantage to deities is evident.

Of course, this is obvious. As soon as each system reaches a certain level, territorial advantage is extremely terrifying. The Immortal Dao has Spirit Lands and Spirit Veins, layered arrays, and the Divine Dao has Dao Field Magic Realms and incense fire grandes fêtes. Western-style cultivation systems also have mage towers, Divine Kingdoms, and holy domains as methods.

These are all territorial advantages.

But merely relying on territorial advantage is not enough; one must consider the timing of heaven and human harmony.

Currently, they lack this timing and human harmony as Qingping and Huide, the two major True Gods, are dead, the Hidden Dragon Blade is blocked outside of Qinghe County, so how could they resist Shen He, who comes with the momentum of great victory, with only some survivors and Dao Field territorial advantage?

"Boom!!!"

Only a sharp brilliance could be seen as a sword burst forth, into the East Lotus Buddha Realm, initiating the concluding sweeping battle.
