[218. Chapter 218 Holy Mountain (Subscription Request)]

The original church.

If the Holy Mountain is the birthplace of the Lord of Light, then this is the first church of the Holy See of Light, which has an unimaginable status in the church system.

Compared with other magnificent churches, the original church, even after being expanded later, still appears very small.

It can only accommodate a few hundred people praying together.

Compared to those cathedrals that can easily accommodate a thousand people to listen to the pastor’s sermons, it is nothing.

The heavy church door slowly closed. Sophia, wearing the white robe of a saint, looked at the burning candlesticks. Suddenly, she felt a little cold. She came to the statue of the Lord of Light and knelt down to pray.

She was a devout believer and was prepared to pray all night to bring her soul closer to the light.

“But… I didn’t expect that the Lord of Radiance here actually possesses a statue.”

Although the faith of the Glorious Church is spread all over the earth, there are no statues of gods in most of the Glorious Churches.

All that was there were stone slabs depicting the sun and the moon, representing light.

This was the thing that was stepped on by the wizard of the Sadu Cult when Fang Xing went to the church for the first time…

In other words, the Lord of Light is just a sign and a symbol.

But in the original church, He had become a “personal God”!
Sophia looked up and saw an extremely handsome young man, who seemed to be standing in a huge shell, with his upper body n*ked and something tied around his waist.

That seems to be… a broken umbilical cord!

“No… How could such filth and impurity be wrapped around a god? I must have seen it wrong, it’s a special belt…”

Sophia quickly lowered her head, silently rebuking her own thoughts.

“God…please forgive my sins.”

Sophia couldn’t help but murmur a prayer.

As if her prayers were heard, a part of the ground in the original church suddenly caved in, revealing an underground passage leading downwards.

“this……”

Sophia looked up in astonishment, and was speechless at the extremely handsome face of the Lord of Light.

There seemed to be a hint of pity and a hint of smile in the young eyes of the Lord of Light.

From within the underground passage, there seemed to be an inexplicable voice calling out for something…

“It’s okay if I just take a look, right?”

Sophia couldn’t suppress her desire after all, and walked into the underground passage holding a golden candlestick.

The underground passage is very short and you reach the end in just a few steps.

Sofia saw an ‘underground church’ which was almost a one-to-one replica of the church above ground.

However, there were no benches for believers to pray or sit on, nor were there any statues of the Lord of Light.

Instead, there were horrific instruments of torture.

She saw the torture rack, the saw stained with blood and rust…

She saw the standing iron coffin, which seemed to be full of sharp iron nails…

She saw a chair full of nails and a burning brazier underneath. From the brazier, there seemed to be countless witches shouting…

She also saw a strangely shaped wooden donkey with a bloody cone on its back…

“We are all guilty of the seven deadly sins…”

“Only after going through many hellish sufferings and washing away all the sins, can one truly see the glory…”

Sophia’s eyes were blank and she was mumbling.

She walked past one hideous torture instrument after another and came to the end of the cellar.

She saw statues of saints one after another. These were all the most important figures in the Glorious Church. They had accomplished countless great achievements and were praised by the world even after their death.

It is even rumored that after being canonized, their souls have returned to the Lord of Light and will be with him forever…

She saw an old woman, a blacksmith, a knight…

“Saint Mary, Saint Lavion, Saint Longinus…”

The gray-white marble statues were so lifelike that Sophia could easily recognize the names of these “saints”.

Suddenly, a sound of marble cracking was heard above the stone statue of St. Longinus.

Sophia looked up in astonishment, and saw that the jaw of the stone statue of Saint Longinus had split open, revealing flesh and blood, and a big mouth full of sharp teeth…

The same changes occurred on other stone statues.

Tears flowed involuntarily from the corners of Sophia’s eyes as she saw a few blood-stained white robes in the corner.

Those are the clothes of other saints!
“Glow…”

Sophia cried silently.

She originally thought that only evil spirits from various places would harm humans.

I never thought that the group of saints in the Holy See of Glory, the faith of mankind, were actually monsters that needed countless “holy maidens” to feed them!!!

…

At the same time, on the holy mountain.

“oh?”

In the forbidden book library, Fang Xing, who was reading a secret book, looked up and asked, “Did he reveal his true identity?”

After having a drink with Wall, he was too lazy to watch him flirting with the middle-aged proprietress, so he left a message and returned to the Holy Mountain.

With his martial arts skills, it would not be a problem for him to sneak into the library.

After all, according to the information obtained previously, the original spirit can no longer descend to the earth in its original form.

With the ‘Great Sun Tathagata Palm’ at his disposal, he naturally has no taboos.

“Besides… the original spirits are all cannibals. They have already completely transformed into evil gods…”

‘It is precisely because of this that I am unwilling to achieve the Origin Spirit, even though this can quickly gain the combat power of a Martial Saint or even a Martial God… and the restrictions are too great.’

Fang Xing shook his head and looked deeper into the restricted books area.

What he wanted to see most was the ‘Slate of Creation’ that was said to have been born together with the Lord of Light.

But one can sense that deep in the library, there is a tight seal.

Although breaking in by force is not a big problem, it will inevitably alarm the entire holy mountain!

“It’s up to you, Wall. Don’t let me down.”

Fang Xing looked down the mountain, anticipation in his eyes.

…

The foot of the holy mountain.

Wall, who was flirting with the proprietress, had unknowingly set foot on the land of the Holy Mountain again.

“Exile Vol… How dare you disobey the orders of the cardinals?!”

Andrew’s expression changed when he saw Wall.

“I swear that I will not fear the powerful!”

“I swear, I will protect the weak!”

…

Wall took one step at a time, an indescribable look of determination on his face.

Thinking of the last hint left by Starr who left without saying goodbye, he was still upset.

“stop!”

Andrew’s fighting spirit burned fiercely: “If you take another step forward, I will use the power of the Vatican Knights to kill you right here!”

“roll!”

Red scales covered his palm, and Wall waved it casually.

There seemed to be a faint dragon roar in the void, and the burning fighting spirit turned into a big hand, slapping Andrew away.

“puff!”

Andrew crashed into a pile of ruins, his body covered with stones, with a look of surprise on his face: “He…how can he be so strong? But it’s useless, this is the Holy Mountain!”

While he was thinking, Wall had already knocked away a team of paladins and arrived halfway up the holy mountain.

“Wal!”

A cardinal in a black robe stood in the night, with a powerful spirit standing behind him.

After so many years of glory, even the Vatican has gradually become corrupt.

What is shown is that those in a higher position take those in a lower position for granted.

Even if they are weak, those powerful ones must obey their orders.

“You have disobeyed God’s will. In the name of the Cardinal of Judgment, I declare… cough… cough…”

The black-robed cardinal spoke in a solemn voice, but before he could finish, he found himself being attacked by an unbearable and violent cough.

“This is… a spirit? You also carry a spirit?”

He looked at Wall in surprise.

“When will the Glorious Church also seal spirits in human bodies?”

Wall’s face was covered with red scales, and he seemed to have transformed into a “half-dragon man”.

The dragon spirit is one of the great spirits and is even more bloodthirsty than ordinary spirits!

Moreover, the last time Fang Xing sealed it, he seemed to have added something special, such as the ability of the Cat-Eating God!

“Ahem!”

The sound of coughing was heard all around. Whether it was the knights, the servants, the priests, the bishops… even the black-robed archbishop, they were all coughing violently, having difficulty breathing and even more difficult to speak.

What’s worse, some people have coughed up blood and internal organs…

This is the killing pattern of the Dragon Spirit outside of the Dragon Flame – the Dragon Cough!
Anyone within a certain range of Wall will suffer from the Dragon Cough, having difficulty breathing, and eventually die miserably.

“Bold!”

A ray of light rose from the top of the holy mountain, effectively suppressing the symptoms of dragon cough.

One by one, the black-robed archbishops were on their way, and even the Pope was paying attention.

Even if it declines, the Glorious Church is still the overlord that has ruled the world for countless years and has countless heritage.

If it was just a big spirit, it would eventually be suppressed.

“I…will carry out my chivalry!”

Wall howled to the sky, and a terrifying flame erupted from behind him. A red dragon could be seen roaring faintly!
…

“Well done!”

Fang Xing put down the secret book in his hand, felt the violent commotion outside, and stretched out his five fingers.

A huge palm print emerged and slapped deep into the forbidden area.

——The hand that covers the sky!

“who?”

Countless objects around came alive and turned into weapons to kill Fang Xing.

Out of the darkness, a thin-faced old man wearing glasses walked out.

He was wearing a black robe and was the cardinal archbishop in charge of banned books!

“It’s such a mess down there, and you actually came over to read? You deserve to be beaten!”

Fang Xing chuckled, and the Five Finger Mountain appeared.

The five elements of power between heaven and earth gathered together, as if turning into a heavy mountain, pressing the old man under the mountain.

Even if a great spirit emerged from the old man and struggled, it was of no avail.

“Oh? A great spirit was sealed away?”

“Among these black-robed rubbish, you are considered one of the stronger ones…”

Fang Xing walked past the old man who was unable to move, commented leisurely, and walked deep into the forbidden books area.

There are no other books here, only a grayish-white stone tablet.

On the stone tablet, there were dark brown bloodstains, written in lines of taboo words…
