Chapter 779: Chapter 371: The Deity’s Authority

Celestial Principle School.

Since Mordo’s sermon about proving the Way through personal experience, the Celestial Principle School has become the new Holy Land in Dragon Capital. Countless students from the Canon Law School have finally understood what "Unity of Knowledge and Action" means. Genuine acknowledgment and acceptance from the heart are faith. This trend is spreading irresistibly, and many influential families and churches are trying all means to stop the spread of this thought. However, faith is not something that can be stopped by force, and the more it’s opposed, the stronger the backlash. Crucially, the Council openly supports it, which makes it hard for forces wanting to stop it to act openly.

Soon, the Celestial Principle Academy will become a pilgrimage site for the entire Li Long United Kingdom.

The Five Questions of Celestial Reason, the Four Sentences of Heavenly Truth, and the Three Cores of Heart Learning have already formed a complete system for the Celestial Principle School, possessing faith, theory, method, and practice. It even blends better than Hedan and is more suited to the Li Long United Kingdom.

Repeating it ten thousand times is not as good as experiencing it once. Thanks to the Potter Family’s sponsorship and promotion, at the scene, nearly all students from Dragon Capital’s Canon Law School were present, along with almost all the ordinary people afflicted by plagues and diseases. There’s nothing like personal experience to truly understand this enlightenment.

Once someone attains enlightenment, they will never return to ignorance.

To hear the Way in the morning allows one to die in the evening.

Young people are the most fervent, purest, and most persevering in their pursuit of truth.

Mordo not only saved tens of thousands of people but also liberated countless minds from shackles, granting many the quality called courage.

The Wish Power generated at the scene significantly increased the cultivation of Celestial Principle scholars and Night Patrol members. On the same path, the influence brought by pioneers is astounding.

When power arises, people become more steadfast in their chosen path.

At this moment, the Celestial Principle School truly has faith.

A single Great Angel is not enough, but this Great Angel is sparking the inner liberation of everyone. This Wish Power is key to solving the loss of heavenly fortune. The more people present, the better the effect, not only dispelling curses but even bringing an early spring state to Dragon Capital.

Sunshine and warmth bring not only physical comfort but also hope.

The four Hex Bird Reports of Dragon Capital have all reported on the miracles of the Celestial Principle School. Even those not of the Celestial Principle School’s stance can’t ignore it, let alone the Freedom Daily and Flying Bird Daily.

In Celestial Principle Academy, Li Xin felt the changes in his body; this is the extraordinary feeling brought by the Three Lives. Although the power of the Bloodthirsty Monarch couldn’t be eliminated, it no longer affects his use of Spiritual Ability. For him, it’s a milestone crossing.

The ability of the third life is to grant a target a certain chance to lift the Soul Seal. Li Xin believes it’s likely an amplification effect. He’s experimenting but can’t use it on himself, only on other targets. If the effect is good, isn’t it akin to "blessing," a privilege only true deities have? Even a Pope, like a demigod, can’t truly bless; they merely borrow the Moon God’s authority.

Li Xin set his sights on Justin, who was still lying on the ground in a state of heartbreak, and rolled the dice.

Justin suddenly bristled, sharply looking at Li Xin, then something inside him seemed to open up—a refreshing sensation from head to foot. What’s it called? Oh, the little witch said it’s called enlightenment, so exhilarating.

Li Xin’s eyes widened as Justin’s figure kept expanding, becoming several sizes larger in a short time, with his black fur shimmering with golden light and his bright, piercing eyes exuding a regal aura.

Justin also sensed the strange taste of power within him and asked, "Dog Xin, what did you do to me?"

Instantly, the room fell silent, stunned people and cats.

The next second, Li Xin’s mouth twitched, his finger pointed, and a Spiritual Ability shackle bound Justin tightly. Walking over with a smile, he looked at Justin, who was now even larger than himself, and said, "What did you just call me?"

Justin felt the surging power within him. Had he broken through to become the legendary Divine Beast?

Could this be the power of learning? Is this the power of celestial principles?

"Dog Xin, let me go immediately. For the sake of your past semblance of humanity, I’m giving you a chance to follow me, roar~~~" Justin’s eyes were fierce as he roared to the heavens, Spiritual Ability exploding, unleashing a terrifying pressure.

Three minutes later, Justin had reverted to his original form, rubbing against Li Xin’s instep, tears in his clear, large eyes.

Li Xin patted Justin’s head, "I still prefer your earlier form."

The third life probably triggers a target’s potential temporarily—it’s sort of a loss. How refreshing it would be if it could be used on himself, and from Justin’s appearance, there seemed to be no side effects, but just temporarily. Once the stimulated form dissipated, Justin couldn’t speak again.

Dog Xin?

Justin shook himself, fawningly looked at Li Xin; his love-struck mind suddenly cleared. Here, he was well-fed and well-rested—this was cat life.

Li Xin didn’t fuss with Justin; since the sermon, Celestial Principle Academy hadn’t had a moment of peace. It started with the Canon Law School students, but soon more people began coming to fulfill their wishes. Ordinary people are very kind and pious. They are not foolish, only powerless and helpless. They know who’s genuinely good to them and who’s exploiting them. Those high-up figures in the Church wouldn’t even glance at them during prayer, while the dean of the Celestial Principle School, the rumored Great Angel—someone as esteemed as the Red-robed Archbishop—sacrificed himself to save them, unimaginable. Moreover, when reconsidered, did Celestial Principle School ever ask for anything?

No, Celestial Principle School has always been imparting knowledge, doing so from its inception, even when none asked about it. Zhuang Zhidong and others quietly continued, not for any renown nor during peak times, but because they wanted to.

A wasted effort?

No!

Now, all the enlightenment isn’t just from Mordo but also from long-term accumulation, and this Wish Power will feed back to every scholar.

Shadow Owl of Night Patrol.

Captains like Dragon Ridge gathered around Shadow Owl, as the long-unseen Li Chao appeared, having completed his undercover mission in Hundred Martial Hall. Unexpectedly, as fights ensued, they became comrades with Hundred Martial Hall, seamlessly taking over the Outer Hall with the Inner Hall.

In the meeting room, Dragon Ridge, Hong Jiu, Li Chao, and others stared dazedly at Meng Po, slightly lost.

Meng Po frowned; since revealing her true appearance, many unnecessary enthusiasm and concern surrounded her. Originally not yet forty, she now looked like a woman in her late twenties, possessing both youthful beauty and mature allure. No one called her Meng Po anymore, but overnight, everyone seemed to recall her real name: Meng Jingye.

"When will Meng Yinxiao, the Chief, return?" Dragon Ridge coughed twice, breaking the awkward silence, though even Dragon Ridge’s speech became refined.

"Indeed, he’s our leader. The Celestial Principle School keeps poaching people; it’s inconvenient." Li Chao remarked.

The captains knew well the deep ties between Celestial Principle School and the Chief but were constrained by the separate systems of Night Patrol and Celestial Principle School. While Dragon Ridge reminded them of cooperation, they maintained outward distance to prevent concern among interested parties, else they’d have gone to the Celestial Principle Academy demanding people by now.

"The Chief is healing at the Celestial Principle School; he’s fine and should return soon. His absence requires us to do even better," Meng Jingye noted.

The captains knew Meng Yinxiao was the Chief’s confidant and had no objections; Night Patrol ever remained unfazed by challenges, now even more spirited with a backbone.

"Recently, our strength greatly increased, and many squad members felt this. Does Meng Yinxiao know the reason?" Hong Jiu queried; they were well aware of the rumor—how the Chief possessed Deity’s power, a few members witnessed Li Xin’s confrontation with the Bloodthirsty Monarch.

This, under the Moon God’s Court’s rule, became a limited secret among those informed.

After a moment of silence, Meng Jingye thought, "I don’t know specifically. My breakthrough followed the celestial sermon; only the Chief knows our link to the Celestial Principle School. Maybe he has answers, but growing stronger is always good."

Everyone was certainly pleased with strength enhancement; baffled as their boosts didn’t stem from the Moon God’s Court but the Celestial Principle School. Both in concept and execution style, Night Patrol aligned strikingly with the Celestial Principle School, especially since many members hailed from the Canon Law School’s civilian stratum, sharing deep empathy.

Faith isn’t extolled but rather genuinely felt.

"I’ll seek out the Chief." Meng Jingye offered; captains’ collective visit surely bore many thoughts—an upheaval was inconvenient, but she could go.
