Chapter 121 Completely unpolluted pure energy

Hulan City, Spark Church.

Even in the central city of the province where every inch of land is valuable, the Spark Church occupies a large piece of land in the center of the city.

The church building is magnificent, and even the outer wall is made of valuable marble, which is luxurious everywhere.

At this moment, a distinguished guest came to the reception room of the church.

Black and Yoris hurried over. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Marquis Hulan sitting on the sofa with a dark face, and the black tea in front of him was not touched.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes flickered.

"Long time no see, Marquis, it's rare to see a distinguished guest like you coming, it really makes our church glorious."

Yoris forced a smile on his face and flattered as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, Marquis Hulan was not fooled by this and said coldly: "I'm afraid that if I don't come again, I won't have the chance to come again."

Brack laughed and said: "You are joking, Marquis."

Marquis Hulan interrupted him unceremoniously: "I am not kidding you!"

He threw a battle report on the coffee table.

"In just two months, one earl, three viscounts and thirteen barons under my command were killed, and they were all killed by Sunan who broke into the lord's mansion and then left!"

"Now all the nobles in my territory are in panic, fearing that one day Sunan, the killer, will come to their door. Even I, the marquis, don't feel safe at all now!"

"Before this, what did you, the Star Fire Church, promise me?"

"You said that Sunan would be handed over to you to solve, but what was the result?"

"You have been exhausted by Sunan!"

Brack and Yoris looked a little ugly, but they couldn't say a word to refute.

In fact, the losses of the Star Fire Church during this period were also very heavy.

In every town where the lord was attacked, the local Xinghuo sect branch must have been destroyed, and almost all the believers were killed.

The bad news that came one after another made the two chief priests feel terrified.

The strength shown by Sunan has far exceeded the intelligence they had collected before.

Even Yansen, who was carrying the holy relics, died at the hands of Sunan.

These days they have been worrying about how to deal with Sunan and how to explain to the chief priest Ovijiu.

"My Lord Marquis, this time we did not think carefully and underestimated Sunan's strength, but please rest assured that the chief priest Ovijiu will come out soon, and when he takes action, he will definitely kill Sunan!"

Blake promised solemnly.

". I hope you will do what you say, instead of just talking big."

Marquis Hulan still had a dark face, but his tone had slowed down a bit.

"There is one more thing. You said before that the manufacturing cost of stone golems is very high, and Sunan certainly cannot make them in large quantities. But what is going on now?"

"According to the news from Soman Province, there are no less than three golem armies appearing on the front battlefield in the Flash Territory at the same time. Each army has two to three hundred stone golems. The total number is probably eight or nine hundred. It is completely different from what you said. How do you explain this?"

Brack and Yoris looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.

They were not very clear about this. After all, the influence of the Spark Cult had not spread to the army, and the speed of obtaining battle reports was definitely not as fast as that of Marquis Hulan.

It's just eight or nine hundred stone golems, this number is a bit shocking.

When fighting with Marquis Jinyan, there were less than two hundred stone golems in the Flash Territory.

Where did Sunan get the resources to refine so many golem puppets?

Yoris's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "Jungle Hut!"

Blake also reacted quickly, nodded in agreement, and said:

"Yes, it must be the Jungle Hut that supports Sunan behind the scenes."

"Otherwise, it is impossible to support Sunan to refine so many golems with the income of Flash Territory alone."

"Jungle Hut?" Marquis Hulan looked a little doubtful, "I have heard about some things about this wizard organization, but hasn't the Jungle Hut always been low-key and not easily interfered in the affairs of various countries?"

Yoris sneered: "Maybe it was like this before, but now Sunan may have joined the Jungle Hut. I don't know what he used to persuade other wizards. He destroyed many branches of our church before."

"So that thing was done by them." Marquis Hulan's face flashed a trace of realization.

He had heard that the churches of the Spark Church in many cities were attacked before, and he was still wondering which force was behind it. He didn't expect it to be the Jungle Hut.

But soon, Marquis Hulan's face became a little ugly again

Sunan alone is already a difficult problem. If the jungle hut is added, how can they deal with it?

For a moment, Marquis Hulan suddenly regretted it.

Shouldn't he have made his position clear too early and stood on the side of the royal family?

Perhaps he should delay it and make a decision after seeing the situation clearly!

Seeing the change in Marquis Hulan's expression, Yoris and Black could not guess what the other party was worried about.

Black was about to say a few words of comfort, when suddenly a somewhat old voice came to his ears.

"The jungle hut was not involved in this matter."

Yoris and Black turned their heads and looked at it, with surprise on their faces.

"High priest!"

"You are out of retreat!"

An old man with white hair suddenly appeared in the living room.

Although his hair was silver, his face was firm and his complexion was ruddy. One would never imagine that he was a centenarian just by looking at his face. Only his light blue eyes revealed a kind of vicissitudes of life.

The exquisitely crafted and unpretentious blue robe of the star map made him look calm and vigorous.

Marquis Hulan guessed the identity of the visitor at the first time. He was the most powerful High Priest Ovijiu in the Starfire Church, except for the Pope who had been missing for many years.

It is said that the wizard worshipped by the royal family died at the hands of this High Priest!

This is a strong man who is stronger than the wizard!

Marquis Hulan stood up.

Facing such a strong man, even he did not dare to treat him lightly because of his status as a marquis.

"Nice to meet you, Marquis Hulan."

"I'm sorry that I was in seclusion before and couldn't come out to greet you in person."

Ovijiu's expression and tone were unexpectedly gentle, and there was no sign of a strong man.

Marquis Hulan forced a smile and said, "The High Priest is too polite."

After a pause, he couldn't help asking, "What did the High Priest mean just now?"

Ovijiu smiled slightly, "I once fought with a wizard in the Jungle Lodge. The other party was just targeting some holy objects of our church, not deliberately against us. In this war, other wizards in the Jungle Lodge will not intervene."

"I see." Marquis Hulan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Sunan..."

"Marquis Hulan, please rest assured, I will personally deal with Sunan."

"Sunan is the backbone of the Flash Territory. As long as he dies, the Flash Territory will not be afraid."

Hearing Ovijiu's personal guarantee, Marquis Hulan's expression relaxed, and the smile on his face finally became a little sincere.

"Then I'll leave it to High Priest Ovijiu!"

"I'll wait for your good news!"

In the quiet room.

Sunan concentrated on the book in his hand.

This was the holy object he got from Jensen. Later, he learned from other Spark believers that this book was called the Book of Stars.

The other golden beetle is called the Golden Beetle, and it is also a sacred object of the Spark Church.

While he was constantly attacking the nobles of the Lake Lan Province and destroying the branches of the Spark Church these days, Sunan was also taking time to study these two sacred objects.

The results were not in vain, and he made some very interesting discoveries.

Generally speaking, sacred objects contain divine grace.

The Book of Stars and the Golden Beetle are no exception.

Sunan then drew out two strands of divine grace from them.

He spread out his palms, and above his palms floated two strands of golden light as thin as hair, intertwining and lingering with each other like dancing, with tiny spots of light scattered around, which was very beautiful.

One of the strands was obviously thicker, and it was drawn from the Book of Stars.

[Divine grace, 1 (2) standard unit, contains pure energy with the mark of faith, has spiritual pollution, and after absorption, it will cause changes in thinking and cognition, and gradually develop a strong and fanatical belief in the source of divine energy]

Divine grace is essentially a kind of divine energy, which is pure energy purified by the gods.

Its purity is comparable to that of soul energy.

Of course, this divine energy also has similar shortcomings as soul energy, that is, it contains the mark of faith of the gods.

Once it is absorbed into the body, the soul will inevitably be eroded by faith. Over time, it will become a believer of the gods, or even a fanatic.

And this kind of pollution is more serious than the pollution caused by absorbing souls.

Absorbing different souls will only lead to conflicts between consciousness, thinking, memory, and emotions, resulting in confusion of thinking, loss of reason and other sequelae, but in essence it is still based on one's own will, retaining most of the self-will.

But faith erosion is different. The mark of faith contained in the grace of God will forcibly distort the will and cognition of the absorber.

Even if your memory is still the same as before and you still look like a normal person, your consciousness, thinking and emotions have actually changed dramatically, turning into a puppet who has lost his self-will and regards the gods as the supreme.

For wizards (apprentices) who are pursuing themselves and the truth, this is absolutely unbearable.

Between becoming a madman and becoming a puppet, the wizard (apprentice) prefers the former.

However, what surprised Sunan was that the two strands of divine grace he extracted from the Book of Stars and the Golden Beetle, although they also contained the mark of faith, gave him a very dull feeling.

It was as if it had lost its controller and was only running according to the established program.

It was somewhat similar to the golems in the wizard's inheritance.

"If the god behind this strand of divine grace has fallen, then the divine grace and the mark of faith inside it should have completely dissipated."

"Since the divine grace and the mark of faith still exist, it means that the god behind it still exists, or it has not completely fallen."

"Seal? Sleep?"

Sunan shook his head.

As far as he knew, the Star Fire Religion had appeared for less than fifty years.

Before that, the so-called Star God had little spread.

Such a weak belief, even close to nothing, except for a very few extremely powerful gods, most gods could not support thousands of years.

Even the sealed and dormant state would not work.

Su Nan was puzzled for a moment.

What exactly is the so-called Star God behind the Xinghuo Sect?

After thinking for a moment, Su Nan shook his head and stopped dwelling on this question, and turned to think about another thing.

Although God's grace has many shortcomings, in the final analysis, they are all caused by the mark of faith.

In other words, as long as the mark of faith inside is removed, the divine grace will become truly unpolluted pure energy.

It can be absorbed to increase spiritual power.

This is different from soul pollution. The consciousness, memory, thinking, and emotions of the soul are an inseparable part of the soul. Unless the entire soul is destroyed, it cannot be removed at all.

But the mark of faith can be removed.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of divine grace that so many wizards are scrambling to capture gods, in order to extract the divine energy of the gods, purify it and use it to increase spiritual power.

Ordinary wizard apprentices naturally cannot remove the mark of faith, including Sunan himself.

But he has the magic cube!

While the magic cube synthesizes and strengthens similar items, it will also weaken and eradicate their side effects.

This was the case with the sub-dragon blood and the divine blood amber.

From this point of view, the magic cube should also be able to eliminate the side effects of divine grace?

"The faith erosion of the divine blood amber can be eradicated, there is no reason why divine grace cannot."

Sunan opened the magic cube and put two strands of divine grace in it.

In an instant, new items and information appeared on the synthesis interface.

[Divine energy, 3 standard units, pure energy with a weak mark of faith, with slight mental pollution. After absorption, it will cause changes in thinking and cognition, and gradually develop a strong and fanatical belief in the source of divine energy]

"It works!"

Su Nan's eyes lit up.

Compared with the divine grace before synthesis, the description of the divine energy after synthesis has a weak prefix before the mark of faith, and a slight prefix before the mental pollution.

This shows that the side effects of divine grace can indeed be weakened through synthesis!

In this way, as long as more holy objects are obtained and more divine grace is extracted from them, completely unpolluted divine energy can be synthesized, and absorbed to increase mental power!

Su Nan showed a happy smile on his face.

Now there is another way to increase mental power!

It seems that he is really going to fight with the Spark Church!

Without choosing to synthesize, Su Nan turned off the magic cube, put the divine grace back into the space ring, and then took out the divine blood amber.

During this period, he destroyed many branches of the Spark Church and obtained more than ten God Blood Ambers, which he immediately synthesized into the high-level God Blood Amber, further improving his meditation efficiency.

Just two days ago, he had successfully constructed the thirteenth star ring.

His mental power also increased to 38.13.

"Five more star rings are needed!"

The proficiency required to upgrade the 14th-level star ring meditation method has soared to an astonishing 1.5 million points.

"My current proficiency increase in meditation is about 4,300 points per day, and it will take about twelve months to construct the fourteenth star ring."

"But if I can use divine energy to increase my mental power, it should shorten the time a lot."
