Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 709: Chapter 15 Conflict of Faith, Fear of the Daoist Master_2

“Yes.”

… After a moment of silence, Bai Ancestor said, “Have you met the Lifeless True Saint?”

Ni Daoxin instantly looked up.

He already knew why the Bai Family’s Ancestor was supporting him.

“Ancestor, have you also felt the presence of the Lifeless True Saint?”

“Yes, originally Bai Mingxing said he would support you, but the family actually did not, until I heard that you sensed the Lifeless True Saint from the Void. That was when I confirmed that it was not an illusion.”

Only now did Ni Daoxin realize that within the Tianhe Federation, he was not the only one who had sensed the Lifeless True Saint.

Before he could say anything, Bai Ancestor continued, “You said you have already met the Lifeless True Saint, are you sure it was real?”

Ni Daoxin shook his head, “Bai Ancestor, I am merely a person watched over by the True Saint, not fortunate enough to meet the True Saint in person, but the True Saint indeed granted me some things.”

Saying this, he directly demonstrated a simple yet highly representative Divine Art.

“This is… entirely different from our Tianhe Federation’s cultivation system.”

Bai Ancestor, having experienced a millennium, could not be more familiar with the Cultivation World.

“Yes, this is a Divine Art bestowed by the True Saint, usable by anyone with sufficient faith, almost without any threshold.”

Bai Ancestor was silent for a while, finally looking up:

“Do you need any help from us?”

Ni Daoxin was not surprised, and said, “The True Saint needs to spread faith to descend power to combat the Chaotic Realm.”

“Faith, huh? Okay!”

The Bai Family’s Ancestor agreed instantly without any hesitation.

But he still asked one question in the end.

“Is the Chaotic Realm really that powerful, that even the Federation’s technology cannot combat it?”

Ni Daoxin hesitated for a while, then finally spoke the truth:

“In truth, it cannot be completely certain, but I have an intense unease in my heart.”

“Is that so?”

The Bai Family’s Ancestor did not say much else, nor did he change his mind.

Ni Daoxin did not mind either; he now just needed to complete his job.

After he left, the Bai Ancestor muttered to himself, “The family’s Divine Artifact has been giving crazy warnings since the cross-dimensional portal appeared, just like the year the empire collapsed, even more terrifying, and just now, the Prophet appeared, and the warnings began to subside…”

“But can such a True Saint, one that needs the spread of faith, really make a difference?”

Decisions within a family were not that simple to make.

…

With the Bai Family’s help,

Ni Daoxin’s spreading of the faith went extraordinarily smooth.

Most notably, when citizens reported Ni Daoxin’s spreading of the faith as a cult, they were informed it was not a cult.

Just this alone was enough to dispel many doubts.

Moreover, to align with the teachings of the Lifeless True Saint to relieve suffering,

Ni Daoxin also sought believers, mostly among those suffering.

With a population of sixty billion, the number of believers developed smoother than imagined.

Meanwhile, the power of the Dao Lord was also moving.

Like the Lifeless Sect, they had high-ranking members in the Tianhe Federation to cover for them.

However, the Lifeless Sect was voluntary, whereas the Dao Lord’s power relied on deception.

The power from the Ninth Realm, unable to exert all its might, was still extremely terrifying, not something ordinary people could withstand.

As the followers of the Lifeless Sect increased, those of the Dao Lord surged even quicker.

Because of the deceptive nature, many followers of the Dao Lord were among the high ranks of the Federation.

Outwardly, everything seemed unchanged, but internally, they were fanatic followers of the Dao Lord.

These high-ranking leaders also used their influence to expand the faith.

In terms of the speed of followers’ expansion, those of the Dao Lord grew faster than the Lifeless Sect’s.

The seemingly calm Federation was already undercurrents surging.

Some vigilant families had already prepared to relocate.

The Tianhe Federation, with its dozen resource planets, while not as good as the environment of the Mother Star, still had no issues with living.

They planned to wait until things calmed down before returning to the Federation.

Before long, the two faiths eventually clashed.

One year later—

A member of the Bai Family was deceived.

The Divine Artifact gave frantic warnings.

“Danger comes from within the family!” Bai Ancestor discerned the meaning of the Divine Artifact’s warning.

The Bai Family did not know what happened, but the patriarch made a decisive decision—no family member was to move freely; all were confined, and anyone who left would be killed on the spot.

After announcing this order, even the Bai Ancestor dared not approach anyone; the Divine Artifact’s warning indicated that he was also at risk.

But the issue had to be resolved.

After a lot of thought, he informed Ni Daoxin, who was preaching outside, to break the stalemate.

Being the Prophet, Ni Daoxin was not only a strong individual but also supposedly watched and protected by the Lifeless True Saint, making him the best choice.

Ni Daoxin naturally would not refuse.

After all, if there really was a problem with the Bai Family, it would delay the True Saint’s descent.

Thus, he came to the Bai Family.

The Bai Family was populous, yet not a single person appeared; Ni Daoxin knew the problem was severe.

As soon as he entered the Bai Family, the Bai Ancestor appeared.

“Bai Ancestor, what exactly is the problem? The marital law is so severe.”

“I don’t know, our family has an early warning device, which indicated a major issue in our family, that’s why we did not dare to act rashly.”

If we knew the problem, we wouldn’t be doing this.

Ni Daoxin nodded:

“Then I shall check one by one, but before that, I may need to pray.”

Preaching for a long time, this had become his habit.

Bai Ancestor naturally would not stop him.

“May the True Saint protect us!”

Ni Daoxin completed his prayer and then began to check one by one.

Soon, he arrived in front of a room.
